PANDEMONIC PLANET | Hecatia's Theme (Touhou 15 LoLK)

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Fun fact: this boss kicks my butt. Like, I'm not even kidding. She's the only Extra boss that I actually find challenging. That's how LoLK goes I guess. It's a love/hate relationship lol

[@LimaBr_]

meanwhile im coping, malding and with suicide tendencies while trying ufo extra(i hate that stage specially kogasa)

[@Kit-pj5kq]

For me even getting past the first spell of any extra boss is a challenge lol

[@riri2887]

I remember while those non-spells she moves so low. that sucks

[@snekgregory]

The only one I've ever beaten was Flandre lol

[@untipocualquiera6551]

True, of all the extra bosses, Hecatia in my opinion and experience is the most difficult by far with Koishi in second place But man is good the feeling when you finally beat the extra stage or even the game itself

[@kodoqbesar4301]

Strong Touhou characters are often seen wearing a tabard or have blonde hair, while here's Hecatia with a definitely not a weird t shirt

[@untizioacaso1300]

Well, she has theoretically the capacity to have blonde hair…

[@kodoqbesar4301]

@@untizioacaso1300 Yes but she doesn't wear a tabard

[@cchieffkiefbeff]

⁠@@kodoqbesar4301eirin is definitely one of the strongest, not as much as hecatia but still, and only wears her weird ass space nurse outfit with trigrams for some reason, though the lunar capital is very chinese looking but also the bagua is taoist while the lunar capital is very shinto given how the original lunarians were part of the eight million gods of shinto because they were lord tsukuyomi and his relatives thus making them shinto, also eirin is shinto too

[@dyingscarlet]

NINE SPELLS?? god i am so boned when i get to that stage I love the cover! This is among my favourite songs from that game!

[@LimaBr_]

Welcome to extra stages friend, bombs wont save you anymore

Hecatia’s outfit slaps. No questions.

So like, long story here, even longer than what I normally include in my comments. My mentor throughout all the touhou games so far was a fan like 15 years ago. He played UFO when it was new. Compared to me, he was and still is incredibly good--with multiple Lunatic 1ccs under his belt and, somehow, a full clear of StB. LoLK broke him, so much he literally swore off the series. I had LoLK hyped up for me by any and everyone. Course I knew what I was getting into. I uh, I made it to Clownpiece on one credit! Game overed five times to Clownpiece. Never saw Junko. I have never been a fan of super repetetive games like LoLK's inspiration I Wanna Be The Guy. So I just said fuck it. I used THPrac to demo all the bosses patterns and then said my very early farewells to the game. Maybe someday. I told him I would not play TH16 onward until he played them. He downloaded HSiFS about four days ago. He seemingly effortlessly got a full slew of normal and extra clears for all four characters. I think HSiFS has reignited his love for the series. We spent two hours talking about Etarnity Larva lore. There's something about Hecatia's theme that makes me feel a particular way. It feels so oddly fitting for its place in this story. There's a sinister air to it, but it has that very palpable touhou feeling that almost feels like it's speaking to me and my mentor directly. The fact that it is then followed by HSiFS's A Star of Hope Rises in the Blue Sky feels like they work hand in hand, as if to say... "Welcome back." Masterful work as always Viddy. Call him ReimuA the way he don't fuckin miss and also has a smaller hitbox and a longer opportunity to bomb after touching a bullet. These are well established ViddyWell abilities.

[@OptiplexAircraft]

Awesome cover like always! Pandemonic Planet has to be one of the most suspenseful themes in all of Touhou until it hits that really fast and amazing part and including the fact it sounds just as good when you play it! It’s absolutely awesome. I’d also suggest trying Magus Night (GFW ver.)

[@neowise3991]

I have yet to see a cover of this song- But if you could attempt Sagume’s theme (Reversed wheel of fortune) at some point, maybe?? I was surprised how few piano covers there are for that track- it’s got a walking bass-line and everything 😭. Such an underrated gem from LoLK! Regardless, amazing work as always. 🎉

[@cymogus]

I've been following you for a while now. I'm glad you're keeping with the usual quality content that I love. You are one of my inspirations to keep striving to get myself a keyboard. ♡

I like to think of each of the different segments of this song as her 3 modes/personalities A section => Earth B section => moon Chorus/"the thing" => otherworld

[@Fleming_the_Lemming]

Nice! Love Hecatia and her theme ❤️ I also love Akatsuki Récords’ version of it called HelloHell Btw, I have a question for you if that is ok. How on Earth do you so consistently produce these awesome piano arrangements of these songs? I have been playing piano for 5 years and could never even play something like this, let alone create them in the span of days and somehow play them nearly 100% correctly. Also, are these first takes or do you sometimes need to start over due to mistakes or whatnot? In any case, keep up the incredible work✨🌸

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Thanks! I rarely manage to get these covers right on my first take. It has happened before, but again, it's rare. It depends on how I'm feeling really, some mistakes tend to happen due to tiredness. Usually it's the 4th or 5th take :) About the consistent uploads, I guess it just has to do with Touhou songs usually following a similar pattern. Obviously I'm not saying that they're all the same, but ZUN's style is so "strong" and instantly recognizable that arranging his pieces becomes almost automatic at some point. Similar chord progressions, rhythms etc... I also usually work on multiple videos/covers at once. That means that when I'm working on, let's say, Pandemonic Planet, I'm not entirely "blind" to the whole thing. I may already have mastered some sections, while needing to polish some others. There's never a situation where I'm like "I don't know where to start". :)

[@Fleming_the_Lemming]

@@ViddyWellSA11 Interesting! To me, this makes the almighty ViddyWell sound a lot more human. I mean this in a good way, it makes you seem a lot more like a real passionate person rather than a robot that pumps out insanely good songs again and again lol. I do agree, ZUN's songs do often feel very similar to each other, even if they do differ in their melodies or whatnot. Thanks for the detailed reply :)

[@Faceu7745]

have you thought on getting into using a DAW like fl studio to do some remixes? your piano skills alone can do 80% the job lol

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Yeah I've actually thought about it...however, I am terrible at learning new stuff lol especially when it comes to programs/applications. However, I may overcome my own laziness and actually look into it at some point:)

[@men2301]

Hey man, your Touhou covers got me to actually get and start learning the piano. Thanks for that. I'm still a complete beginner so I don't expect to play any 2hu pieces anytime soon but where do you get the sheets for these themes? Do you compose them and play without the sheets? I don't see any in the videos and that's really impressive. Anyways amazing cover as always.

[@ViddyWellSA11]

@@men2301 Thanks! All of my arrangements are done by ear. That's because I actually don't know how to work with sheets, I never did and probably never will lol

[@men2301]

​@@ViddyWellSA11 That's honestly incredible. On the other hand it's kind of a shame for me, considering your arrangements are absolutely amazing. But I'll just try and treat it as motivation to try and learn playing/arranging by ear in the future. So how long did it take you to become this good? :P

[@ViddyWellSA11]

@@men2301 I've been playing for more than 13 years now :) Also just as a reminder, even though I don't work with sheets, I do sell my MIDI files on my Patreon! MIDI can be used on certain apps like Synthesia or MuseScore to get an accurate sheet. That's how one would learn my arrangements :) You don't HAVE to also play by ear yourself patreon.com/ViddyWell?Link&

[@men2301]

@@ViddyWellSA11 13 years explains a whole lot! And I honestly had no idea you could get sheets from MIDI files, goes to show how much I have to learn about all of this.
