IDOLATRIZE WORLD (Touhou 17 WBaWC)

My Patreon! patreon.com/Vi...
Idolatrize World ON PIANO!! This is Keiki's Theme from Touhou 17 WBaWC. Widely considered to be one of the greatest themes from the series, this final boss music is the absolute peak of ZUN's abilities as a composer. I tried to capture that feeling of the original that...well, it's kinda hard to replicate. Enjoy!
Gameplay footage by me!

I adore the way ZUN integrated the Touhou motif into Idolatrize World

[@gugalaxy7772]

Just imagine the ability to create God's, the power she would have if she beat the beast. Heck I'd imagine she could take over the outer world.

The moment when the Theme of Eastern Story hits gave me chills

[@lilestojkovicii6618]

The yessest yes that ever yessed.

[@Darkusaido]

I mean I had chills the whole time, but at that moment I was cooler than the universe

[@TheArcherGilgamesh]

Man, I was on a Touhou music binge and KZbin decided to recommend your channel to me and just wow, genuinely the best piano covers of the tracks I've heard in years, great adherence to the original melody, great tempo choice, and just a the right amount of complexity. Just a joy to listen to.

[@sokomun]

Lime's Piano Room is another great channel for Touhou music

[@bobbobbob321]

Idolatrize is one of the hardest tracks ZUN's ever created

[@joacondefrutilla66]

The beeest pianist in touhou :D

[@Darkusaido]

Only Marasy would be the worthy opponent

[@raymoo_hackery]

You genuinely have my favourite Touhou piano covers this is PEAK You manage to capture the oomph of each song so well Do you have any plans to do Memory of Fossil Energy?

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Thanks! Yes, 17.5 needs more love :)

[@Readydaer]

@@ViddyWellSA11ooh I’m excited

[@ceres_bucuresti]

Oh!, create!.

[@spaghettiking7312]

The instrumentation reminded me of Kingdom Hearts 2's OST a bit. Old ZUN is getting back the haunting notes of young ZUN. This one hits like a revenge-seeking, grave-robbed ghost.

[@FolkloreInferno]

Wow.. just wow... That piano cover was beautiful, and even some parts were better than the original! Also, the edition of Theme of Eastern Story at 3:15 was very good!

[@user-tk4kz7of6h]

I know many pianists who play toho music in Japan. However I feel you’re one of the most amazing pianists! I’m very happy to see you through toho!

[@kagummi]

I love touhou 17 ost so much ~♪♫ Amazing as usual :D

[@Koishi_Circulation]

You are the idoratrized piano man. I love your covering Touhou songs❤. Huge respect from Japan! Big up!!

[@deredevilgui]

This is insane, you never fail to amaze me

[@ImCrimson]

Wonderful! I particularly love that you did the 1:21 syncopated phrases correctly!! Many covers get them wrong, not including the subtle beat difference between the first triplet(?) sequence and the next. It's been a pet peeve of mine :)

[@yukaritrains]

Daaaaamnn this is TOO GOOD

[@saurus55]

What a coincidence, I was listening to this theme earlier today! Amazing arrangement as always. You made me fall in love with this song all over again

[@Asdf-gw8xw]

Me too! I still had the original song in another tab

[@ahenisagirl]

This is so beautiful😭 I always think Idolatrize World would be stunning on piano and you did this masterpiece Thanks for the content I love this so much

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

Yoo a cover of one of my favorites! Your Touhou and UT/DR covers never disappoint man!

[@Tohorazen]

I have been waiting for this video for 3 months. Honestly, this video is one of the things I have been most looking forward to recently. Every time you upload, I’m thinking (please be idolatrize world please be idolatrize world) AND OF COURSE WHEN IM AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS YOU UPLOAD IT (hence the late response). Thank you though, it sounds fucking beautiful.

[@CamyCococnut]

Zun + him + fumo in background= absolute perfection

[@gugalaxy7772]

I should've taken ceramics a bit more serious.

[@user-px3hr3xg6o]

I loved the pure piano part of the original theme, and somehow I ended up loving it more in the piano arrange. So passionate, just as impressive as always! Please do some Seihou project arrange for the next video, whatever like Silk Road Alice, Dichromatic Lotus Buterfly or Disastrous Gemini.

[@josewalter9076]

The theme for the best touhou character, great video!

[@pythonsotl]

This is beyond epic! Great work as always.

[@DrBreyn]

The intro of this song is so powerful!

[@Doemon069]

finally, he did it, he did the song 😭😭this is so epic

[@Darkusaido]

My another request would it be apart from popular soundtracks (like Mokou's theme) Kanako's theme Suwa Foughten field

[@JayMonoto]

I seriously can't stop listening to this. Holy shit.

[@kentran1242]

I love this theme so dang much! Only thing I wish was that this game was a bit harder since I beat it in only 2 hours but whatever. Definitely my favorite theme and the first piece that got me obsessed with touhou music and interested in the games!

[@dodoridodomeofficialch.6630]

Silently waiting for Border of Life. ANYWAY great as always!

[@LimaBr_]

Viddy do be going in an adventure of covering all of the boss themes, you know that someday youre gonna have to cover the stage, staff roll and ending themes right? XD Also looks like my friend @josewalter9076 _may have got a little carried in his feelings after listening to your cover..._ (btw i got able to get my 1cc in IN, im gonna get a bit of fun in pofv and then try mof, lets go)

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Yep, is going to be quite the adventure! I honestly can't wait to cover some of the more "obscure" themes, like PC-98 or Seihou stuff lol

[@johnboy5929]

​@@ViddyWellSA11Are there any more stage themes you've got your eye on? Other than eosd i always see those go underappreciated unless they've been part of some other artist's collection. Would love to see you cover any more obscure one you enjoy

[@ViddyWellSA11]

"Dream Land" from LLS has always been one of my favorites. I really want to cover that one in particular, since there aren't many arrangements :)

[@geeseispluralforgoose]

⁠​⁠@@ViddyWellSA11c98 themes!!! Heck yess!! A lot of my faves from touhou are from the more obscure sources, even the music albums/cds. So im super glad to hear that as a youtuber who might choose to play more popular songs for obvious reasons you plan on covering more obscure songs as well. Ill be the first one there when you choose to cover a song from an album/a pc 98 song!!! 🫶🫶🫶 I must mention that one of my favourites from the albums is innocent treasures ~ children’s festival (hint hint)

[@johnboy5929]

@@ViddyWellSA11 i gave it a listen and can completely see why, I should check out the PC-98 and xx.xx ost’s properly sometime soon.. could’ve sworn i mentioned I’d do that a while ago too x-x” looking forward to it tho! Have fun man, always eagerly waiting to listen to and share your work.

[@fragmentedrose7401]

Let it be known that I was there when this song was first requested

[@mohamedhabib6874]

What an absolute banger yet again. I wanna share something with you, there is another piano youtuber that did the impossible by perfectly playing the doremy theme. The name of the youtuber is minthia and dude the song sounds like an impossible classical piece. I recommend that you play doremy's theme next :b

[@richarosita1186]

AAAAAAA THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Well done! I'm your new subscriber now ❤️❤️❤️

[@neru_d]

Well, it seems that you're fully converted into toho! You even got fumos! (applauds) Amazing. Saw some of older touhou piano videos. I suppose it was inevitable :d That said, great playing and fast fingers!

[@Darkusaido]

I hope not completely. I mean, it is ok to have the majority of his covers Touhou, but there are some other soundtracks apart from Touhou I want to hear from him!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

@@Darkusaido Oh, of course. While Touhou is definitely a huge part of the channel, games ike Undertale or Deltarune are still a big interest of mine. I am patiently waiting for the new Deltarune chapters to come out, for example. I plan on covering those as soon as they're released :) (end of 2023 maybe?? that would be neat)

Not going to lie, at fiest I didn't like the song, then gradually, the Piano arrangement you made swayed me over. I was always a sucker for the Bass going down half a step and then back up the scale, lol. Great work :)

I know I have been requesting this a TON, but it would be AWESOME of you did a cover for either Grievous Lady by Team Grimoire or Distorted Fate by Sakuzyo. You would summon either the Arcaea or Phigros (both are rhythm games) communities respectively.

[@tungtruong2135]

It's quite difficult to convey zunpet feeling to piano, but you do it pretty well, if marasy's cover of this theme is 100 then your should be around 80. Oh and may i make a suggestion : Minoriko Aki theme - Because Princess Inada Is Scolding Me

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I record audio directly through my digital keyboard, then I sync said audio to video :) This way I don't have to worry about external noise. Basically you guys are hearing the same sound I hear on my headphones while playing :)

​@@ViddyWellSA11So your keyboard has a feature to transfer recorded songs to PC? It seems like mine hasn't...

[@ViddyWellSA11]

@@Darkusaido Yep! I'm pretty sure even older Yamaha models can record your performances, but if you plan to transfer songs to PC and make a file audio out of it, then yeah you're gonna have to buy a newer one I think
