PCB Stage 2 - The Fantastic Legend of Tohno

[@aphreytheelite8287]

All songs in PCB is so good.

[@popcioslav]

Correction: All songs in Touhou franchise are good so far.

[@aphreytheelite8287]

Not all, maybe...

[@aphreytheelite8287]

Not many people love all song that easy, but I'm glad there are, I don't mean they're bad, of course, there are still songs that I feel norma, and even their remix's, but some people love them, so I wouldn't say that song is bad. Yet most of the people identical their favorite song, and compare with other songs, it is one of the the reason why there are "bad" songs.

[@piecat7993]

It's probably just because lots of people appreciate the style of PCB and certain other games in general which is why most fan favorites come almost exclusively those games

That picture is Chen just how I like her; not the little baby that's dependent on Ran.

[@johnrafaellapena8381]

I also like her smug when she's listening to whatever character you're playing

[@aprettyfunnyperson4516]

Reminds me of Shrodinger from Hellsing and Pitou from HxH

[@tarankneedler2914]

I once heard of a poll where 100 people who knew nothing about Touhou picked their favorite Touhou song. They were given all the songs from every windows Touhou game on their ipod, but weren't told anything about them other than that they were part of this experiment. It turned out that this track, of all things, won.

[@tarankneedler2914]

To be honest, though, I'm not 100% sure if this is real. However, I've heard many people say they like certain video game songs just because they like the character/level it belongs to.

[@shin-5325]

For some reason it makes me flip my shit when someone likes something touhou related but they have no idea what Touhou is.

[@AiTheKitsune]

***** *has listened to whole touhou soundtrack, never played a single game and doesnt know anything about it*

[@shin-5325]

You know that it's from Touhou though.

I love how this theme starts out kinda sad and ominous and then get's more playful and innocent as Chen shows up.

Usually when playing touhou, i like to whistle along with the music, so 1:35 has me like: oh my god make it stop i can´t breathe.

[@L4Vo5]

IKR. The fact that it's a catchy tune doesn't help matters when I'm not even playing the game and start having an asthma attack trying to sing it.

[@jadebayoba7073]

00:54 - 1:35

[@dienveji]

You must not be very good at whistling, then

[@aronnecroman]

lololol the same thing happen to me with Junko theme and MoF stage 3 theme "The Gensokyo The God Loved"

[@victorarturoibanezaliaga8783]

There is a way to whistle while inhaling air. If you learn to whiste while inhaling AND exhaling, you can literally whistle for as long as you want without running out of air. That's how I whistle nonstop at least.

[@Reboundary]

The main violin thing is awesome and all, but I only now realized how much I love the flute at 0:41.

[@ladytanuki]

This is definitely one of my favourite Touhou themes ever. I think it's tied right now with "Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke" from Imperishable Night. This theme has such a neat melody, and I'm such a sucker for neat melodies... Right now I'm using it as one of my Pokemon's themes in my LP of Pokemon White. ^_^'

[@cherny9189]

Is it still your favorite, after all these years?

[@132ew]

​@@cherny9189 After all these years touhou music slowly degraded. That's why there are quite a few of those who consider themes from 5-12 games the best

[@setsunemariearouet]

​@@132ewI mean sometimes ZUN still convinces himself to make some absolute banger out of nowhere.

[@Ctrekoz]

This is my most favorite composition from PCB.

[@cloudydaykumo]

I swear the part that plays when chen shows up mid stage should have been her theme song. She loves to move around while she shoots at you (rolling around everywhere) so it's only TOO perfect!!

[@demispectra9783]

Rie Vinaca The capital city of flowers in the sky. That was an easy pick xd tho Legend of Tohno is my second xD

[@Rie-Vinaca]

Demi N that's definitely a good one but then again this seires is known for its music for good reason in fact if memory serves zun wanted to make music and decided to make a game to go with said music and that's how highly responsive to prayers came to be fast forward ten plus years and here we are

[@demispectra9783]

Rie Vinaca yeah, I heard about this story. It would be a REAL bad thing if it didn't happened... I can't see my life without Touhou right now...

[@Rie-Vinaca]

Demi N It's definitely hard to see a world without touhou... Let's just hope the current touhou era doesn't end up like the pc98 era...

[@KazuyaRazuKazama]

The artist for this one is Yuuhodou.

[@kinjoko]

What an amazing tune

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

It starts off pretty mysterious….. 0:14 Okay, this sounds pretty divine, and nice bass after that! OMG. What a great, emotional, and divine-sounding theme! :O I love the parts at 0:32, 0:42, 1:22 so much! :DD This just sounds so sad overall. GREAT theme!! WAIT, he’s not done yet. That’s such a great piano solo at 2:02 :) BTW, there's “Forest of Tohno” from Touhou 2 :)

The opening of this song sounds so much like a Motoi Sakuraba song it always makes me think of it! This song came first, so I wonder if Motoi's a Touhou fan!

[@CRASHOVERRIDE420]

She does have two sides since after which most people for get,she is Ran's Shikigami which means she gets stronger near ran.We saw that in the extra stage of PCB.

[@Xmask]

I belive Chen has two sides. A cheerful one which you see when shes with ran and a serious side.

[@ArenDrake789]

Touhou is more like an insanely hard game that would take at least 20 tries on one stage to beat it on easy.........but still it's epic!
