Immortal Smoke has always been one of my favorite songs from the game. I absolutely love the soft xylophone part and the reckless fast moments in the original!
It's been quite the challenge to mix this one since there's so many layers of instruments going on. Guitar, Bass, Synths, Orchestra, you name it! The quick parts were some challenging stuff to do. I actually started this project with the assumption that I might not nail those taps. Let me know if I done it, hah! ZUN is a genius madlad!
Thanks for watching! ^^
There's a brief reference of Lunatic Princess, because you can't have a Mokou theme without Kaguya's Theme! Also there's Little Princess and Alice's Doll Judgement in the solo, because they just fit so nicely into the arrangement!
What do you think? :)

More songs like this on my *Touhou Album!* 🎵 *LISTEN NOW:* ampl.ink/Q0mkZ If this keeps going ya'll will think I'm a cosplay channel, lol. Thanks so much for checking out my guitar cover of Immortal Smoke! Next up: Idolatrize World ! I've learned so much during the making of this track, can't wait to apply it in the next cover. Mokou's theme is crazy, it's always been one of my favorites, because there is so much going on. Lots of ridiculous fast parts and that soft xylophone part!! Last few weeks have been a little all over the place for me, so it feels awesome to finally release this song for you all! Let me know what you think! Thanks so much, guys!! 🚬Smokou's Theme

@@D_T_S_V I wouldn't call it the best, but it certainly one of the best final boss theme. I love Idolatrize World but I'm not a fan of the instrument that ZUN uses.

Damn this is indeed lit' arrangement of Mokou's theme 🔥 But that red Nike overalls tho... lovely 😳 PS: I also liked how you leaked Kaguya's theme in the process too. That was a nice touch

How Mokou flexes on Kaguya in music

Hell ye, mate!

Awesome (Suspenders) I mean JOB!

[@stellerseider270]

It's... It's perfect :,) Every single part sounds so incredibly clean, the cosplay is nice ( you maybe could'veput a ribbon on ;p), and the comedic intersection is cool too (although I'll be mad, because I probably can't unhear it :/ ) A long time ago I commented, that this theme would be incredible for you to cover... and you exceeded my expectations once more! This is my favourite of your covers now, although, the next theme might be able to give it a run for it's money.

[@YaboiMatoi]

Man, your comments are always so nice! Thank you!! The cosplays are a homemade approach so I miss a thing or two haha

[@stellerseider270]

@@YaboiMatoi trying to convey the happiness I feel from this music, and give back some positivity. That's the least I can do ^^ Haha, and regarding the cosplay, it's all good, I just have some random Ideas and thoughts. Like sticky notes tor the seals, or the ribbons x) A more stylised version is probably the better call, anyways ^^

[@stardust-reverie]

1:14 music making me uncontrollably shout “WHAT THE FUCK??!!?!” with sheer awe and glee is one of the best feelings in the world, this is how vgm metal covers should always be written

[@okuuunyu6222]

Very nice cover as usual!

[@dms9662]

Oh man, this is extremely worth the wait. I really love your remix cause you're usually tries to be as faithful to the original song as possible while still producing an extremely great and different experience. Just yesterday I was listening to a bunch of Idolatrize World and now you're telling me that's what your next song is? Really looking forward to it, keep up the good work dude!

[@YaboiMatoi]

Thanks so much! I kept listening to Idolatrize World all the time too lately, it's truly an epico piece by ZUN! Working on it right now!

[@Finnyan]

"Most underrated touhou artists" Quote that is so true in this case ^^ You deserve alot more subs with covers like this!

[@Finnyan]

Also the ping pong part was such genius :D
