Today I'm playing LUNATIC PRINCESS on piano!! This is Kaguya's Theme from Touhou 8 IN. Another highly-requested cover that's finally making an appearance on the channel. I have to say, between this one and Eirin's Theme ZUN really delivered on TH8 final bosses huh? I feel like Imperishable Night has one of the best soundtracks overall. So many iconic tracks!
Gameplay footage by me!

cant hear this without the "ERIN! ERIN!"

[@BuwakoBuwako]

the 6th impossible request: playing this song this good you have achieved it

[@ViddyWellSA11]

looks like I have to marry her now lol

[@_sindrus.]

@@ViddyWellSA11 how would you feel about marrying the hourai neet though 🤔

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I mean she's like 1400 years old so the age gap would definitely be weird

[@nathangamingtv4578]

​@@ViddyWellSA11 Did you read the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter? I didn't play IN or any game with Kaguya in it so I don't know if they've mentioned the fact that you have to marry her after completing a request. Cool that you know that though

[@ViddyWellSA11]

@@nathangamingtv4578 Yeah I was familiar with the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter before I played the games/discovered Touhou :)

[@Saguya20]

I swear this is one of the most impactful pieces that ZUN has ever made

[@takeohikari8994]

LUNATIC PRINCESS LET'S GOO MY FAVORITE TOUHOU THEME 0:56 this part is too majestic

[@spaghettiking7312]

This feels so impactful when you first hear it in the game. ZUN is an absolute genius.

[@Kradles...]

I must say, Lunatic Princess is perfect to play in a piano. That piece have a special touch, if i see somebody playing this in a church, i could cry 😂

[@leux327]

The GOAT of Touhou piano covers strikes back

[@DeadlyBreakfast]

One thing I always find very interesting about touhou 8's songs is how its almost always composed of a "simple" melody and some complex "fast notes"( I dont know the translation in english for "escala" btw), this combinaion just sound so... oriental.... it fits the "patriotism" that is present on ZUN's works(obsiously, touhou literally is the western project) and the context of the game so much...its amazing... And seeing you doing the hard parts so easily like that is really impressing, good job as always!👏👏👏

[@Darkusaido]

a small correction "eastern" project

[@DeadlyBreakfast]

@@Darkusaido oh, I keep confusing the word west with east... (English isnt my main language, btw) Thank you for telling me haha

[@richaimond]

0:01 I instantly felt goosebumps, I love this song a lot and you finally covered it :D Good as always!

[@zeruszephuros5419]

still has the original vibes and your own added remixes are all so good!

[@gari6]

No way, the night is over for you And I won't go to the moon -Kaguya Houraisan 0:56 It's as if the events in Imperishable Night and Kaguya's battle embody the struggle of all sides in the incident, feeling like history. And that most recognizable part and rhythm is a banger. and the standing of the imperishable continues until the end of the theme.

[@eglaiosdeminecraft9259]

Little do viewers know, when you live in the same house and don't have the headphones, the song goes more like BAM BAM BABABAM bam babam BAM *BLANG BLANG BONK*

[@Whatareyou---]

lunatic princess has to be one of the best sounding themes in touhou.........As always great job Viddy👏👏

[@8-bitgiraffe917]

hell yeah! i know its gonna be amazing it was better than i expected too

[@nameless4637]

Kind of wondered what this song sounds like on live piano, it sounds epic

[@user-bt5tz9fv1t]

LETS GOOO finally lunatic princess🎉 Literally waiting for this for a long time and the piano cover is just excellent as usual 👍 👍 👍

[@JayMonoto]

I was waiting for you to get to this one. IN's ost is so elevated by its piano that I knew you would do it justice. Hopefully we can also see some IN stage 4 some day. Been a bit busy so I haven't had time to watch many videos or play much Touhou, since I started a new job. Ironically despite summer meaning no college I still end up busy. Last time I posted I think I was trying to grind out the 1cc for UFO. Long story short, I had to give up on UFO and took the easy 1cc for now. Bashing my head against that wall (Stage 5) got demoralizing. TD was easy and I just got a clear the other day. Literally made it to Miko on my first try, but Miko gave me more trouble than any other final boss before her so that still ended up taking a month

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I remember back when I first played Touhou 13, I actually jumped straight to Lunatic mode because I was reading stuff life "this game has the easiest final boss" and so I went "cool let's play on Lunatic then" When I got to Miko I was actually kind of surprised. She isn't easy by ANY means. I'm more confident in fighting Okuu than Miko lol

[@Whatareyou---]

mannnn the chords are jus too godlyyy im crying cuz of how good the chords areee

[@Kradles...]

Wow, amazing played as always ❤ I wasn't able to play piano in this last days, but this give me a lot of emotion. Thanks!!!

[@catboywizard]

I spent all day listening to your covers while working, thank you for delivering yet another banger Piano Jesus. If I could make a humble request, would you consider covering LoLK's extra stage theme, A world of nightmares never seen before? I think getting those funky basslines right would be an impossible task for anyone except you.
