Recorded on a real SC-88Pro. ® ZUN / 上海アリス幻樂団
Years ago, ZUN's site had a page called "東方幻想的音楽", where MIDI files made for the Roland SC-88Pro could be downloaded for free. Between 1999 and 2001, ZUN posted arrange versions of many PC-98 Touhou Project tracks and arranged the entire Seihou Shuusou Gyoku OST. He also posted the Torte Le Magic OST and 6 tracks known as "ZUN's Strange Works". They only sound as intended on this module.
The PC-98 arrangements include select tracks from 東方靈異伝 ～ The Highly Responsive to Prayers (Touhou 1), 東方封魔録 ～ the Story of Eastern Wonderland (Touhou 2), 東方夢時空 ～ Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream (Touhou 3), 東方幻想郷 ～ Lotus Land Story (Touhou 4) and 東方怪綺談 ～ Mystic Square (Touhou 5). Please don't call these "remix" or "remastered". These words don't mean what you think they do!

ZUN's comment:
Thank you for downloading this song.
This is "Maple Wise" from Mystic Square. As I wrote in the comments in Mystic Square, this song is a song that goes into the category where I have had much trouble in the making of the original songs.
So, because of its complex base and melody, (^^; I could not change much so it's almost the same as the original. In fact, it was my first time where I could not have made it without looking at the original MML.
So it has the imagery of the world of ice. Where the tremolo string is vibing, it feels like we are in a cold place (laugh). I was thinking at first of orchestra feel (if at all) but it is slightly different.
Well then, let us meet again in the next song, shall we? ZUN

このたびは、ダウンロードしていただきありがとうございます。
東方怪綺談より【 メイプルワイズ 】です。 怪綺談のコメントに書いたように、この曲はオリジナル曲の中でもかなり苦労した部類に 入る曲です。
というわけで、ベースや副旋律が複雑でいじることが出来ませんので(^^;; 、オリジナルと ほとんど同じとなっております。実際、元 MML を見ながらじゃないと創れなかったのは初 めてですね。
で、氷の世界をイメージしています。トレモロストリングを使用していると寒い場所のよう な感じがしますね（笑）。オーケストラ風に考えていましたが、微妙に（全然）違いますね。
ではまた次の曲で逢いましょうか　ＺＵＮ

[@Wobuffet3]

i like how the beginning sounds like some lazy amateur midi cover, and then it turns into something professional and beautiful

[@agirlandherdrone6987]

I didn't realize how good this song was until now

0:20 このフレーズほんと好き

[@WildMatsu]

That phrase in particular is almost directly lifted from Estpolis Denki 2's final dungeon theme

[@TsukiStuffs]

sounds even more like lufia 2 than the original

[@WildMatsu]

True

[@user-hirokahayuni]

[@連縁好き中学生]

原曲よりも最終決戦してて草なんだ

[@chronosanaki5174]

I might get stoned for this, but I like the original way better than this.
