[@harrid14mei]

Rich got caught on Idolatrize World fever too it seems. It just ranked 4th on this year's Touhou popularity poll music section, below Septette, U.N. Owen and Hartmann, despite being from new game. Nice cover btw.

[@jsakittennew2154]

That's because ZUN has, once again, caught lightning in a bottle when composing a song. For the 1047567389th time.

[@harrid14mei]

@Art-Ghost Same happened with Pure Furies and Emotional Skyscraper in the past, both of which ranked 3rd iirc right after their first debut. Whenever ZUN made a particularly epic final boss theme, it just blew everyone's mind, it seems.

[@EvilMagnitude]

I'm not surprised at all. This song absolutely slaps, especially the intro. Between this and Pure Furies ZUN has been killing it with final boss themes lately.

[@EvilMagnitude]

@@harrid14mei Pure Furies initially ranked a little lower, I think, but then jumped up as people appreciated how awesome it was.

[@LunarWingCloud]

@@EvilMagnitude lately? He's basically always killed it with final boss themes. Little Princess is fantastic, Emotional Skyscraper is great, Nuclear Fusion is great, even Venerable Ancient Battlefield is a bit of a bop

[@explosivemodesonicmauricet1597]

@@quote6013 Actually there is an odd thing in video game industry:Go Global if you want more attention.Unfortunately ZUN didn't do that (put aside ENG translations,not putting his games on any popular gaming site like Steam caused it).Also since doujin highly limits the franchise in the creator's homeland,it would need some time before the gem eventually discovered and became a half-closed popularity.

However the world before was so much worse for humans in the animal realm, who were subjugated to slavery and hunted by the entire animal spirit populace… A lack of identity while living in constant fear and agony…. I cannot imagine that being better than Keiki’s idealistic world.

@RichaadEB I forgot to comment when you first uploaded this. Idoratrize World is one of my favorite BGMs from Touhou, and your rendition of it is my favorite Touhou cover you've ever done. It's just so good. It's genius. I can listen to this on loop thousands of times and not get tired of it (I actually did for much of July). Even when I hear the original BGM in the game, I still hear your rendition playing alongside it in my head. I'm genuinely glad you're doing Touhou covers too. As a long-time Touhou fan, I really mean that.

Might not hear this comment very often, but Bravo on the background guitars. I sing backup vocals, and I know how hard it is to keep up with a lead singer. I can only imagine how difficult it can be on guitar to come up with "just the right note progressions", especially on the really fast parts. Well done, sir. On a different note, do you actually play the drums, or is the gloriousness we're hearing a bit of techno-wizardry? I've seen you play with live drummers before (cough Jerod cough), and I can't tell if the drums in your songs are, to quote the commercial, "real or Memorex".
