Best strawberry professor 2hu. As soon as I heard Yumemi's Theme I felt that this deserves a metal approach. The arpeggios and all the melodies are almost guitar-esque to a certain extent. The recording of this cover had to be the most insane one so far. I'm in the middle of exams right now so time management was super hard to make this cover while still giving it the quality it deserves. But I used all the time to improve many stuff like the drums and video quality as well!
Since the original has many repetitions I decided to go all out with references of other Touhou tracks and put them in the song to make everything even more interesting! Here's the list if you wanna play along:
0:16 - Cirno's Theme
0:28 - Little Princess
1:21 - Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship (from Touhou UFO)
1:24 - Flowering Night
1:26 - Doll Judgement
1:30 - Maiden's Capriccio - Reimu's Theme
I hope you guys enjoy my take on Strawberry Crisis! Thanks for watching! :D

More songs are on my *Touhou Album!* 🎵 *LISTEN NOW:* ampl.ink/Q0mkZ This cover had the most insane recording process ever. I was in the middle of exams, so putting this one out was super challenging because of the tricky time management. But when I wasn't able to record I used the extra time to further improve the video and audio quality, like working on the drums etc. Since I'm gonna be away for the week visiting family, I thought giving you guys the opportunity to vote for the next Touhou cover would be a lotta fun, and I could still work on the track while I'm away from home. Can't wait to know what you guys voted for! Thanks so much for watching! 🍓 This cover is packed with references from other Touhou games! Check out the description, if you want to know which! Strawberry Crisis was also a vote on the Discord channel, so come Join us and let's talk!: 🎮 discord.gg/ucjM4ft Stalk me on Twitter: twitter.com/yaboimatoi

Actually forgot about this theme, I’m disappointed in myself :l Still a banger tho :3

Miss Okazaki-!! .. Very unyu!

[@stellerseider270]

Just one day after FalKKonE uploaded his cover of this theme. Nice cover, I love how fluently and seemingly easy you manage the different pacings, and switch for passages which feel so differently, so nauturally (not only in this one, but in general). Caught all bits and pieces of other themes, except the alice one, admittedly, some only after reading about them. And yeah, from all the touhou themes that exist, this one has to be one of the most metal-esque by default. Good luck on your exams, if there are any left!

[@YaboiMatoi]

I know right? What are the chances! Thanks a lot! All exams are all out of the way but I'll keep the good luck for the next ones hah!

When the A.I. literally dodges everything

[@smol_hornet613]

PoDD probably has the most exponential difficulty curve out of any touhou game. First you get like 7 stages that are a relative breeze with no resource carry-overs that you have to worry about unlike ordinary touhou games. Then stage 8 rolls around with Chiyuri and you notice that the stage is dragging on for uncomfortably long, but nothing unmanageable, and then you meet Yumemi and the world just fucking ends. Huge, micro-dodgy bullet patterns in a game with no shifting, you only get 2 bombs to deal with it that don't refill when you get hit, and the boss just doesn't. Ever. Die. Yumemi really is the definition of a brick wall.

[@piman3062]

@@smol_hornet613 i kind of remembering reading that this was on purpose to force you to lose once then difficulty goes back to normal

[@smol_hornet613]

@@piman3062 That's a pretty interesting thought. I never beat Yumemi without losing at least once to her first, so that might just be true.

[@piman3062]

@@smol_hornet613 yea, that was my own experience too

[@dms9662]

Holey crap. I never thought you would actually cover this theme. Strawberry Crisis is one of my absolute favorite, so I'm extremely pleased to see this. Your cover makes it distinct enough but not to different than the original melody, and I think that's great. I do catch other bit from Interdimensional Voyage (I think), Maiden Capriccio, and of course Flowering Night (you really love that one huh?) Keep up the good work man, hope to see that Immortal Smoke sometime.

[@YaboiMatoi]

Nice! I thought to myself, I'll just put in anything that comes to mind and fits and Flowering Night snuck itself in again lol. fun fact: I actually got these red pants because of Immortal Smoke, not because of Strawberry lmao. Thank You!

Oh, some PC-98, nice. Really happy to hear a great cover of Yumemi's theme. Also, I like the sneaky intrusion of other themes, let's see... 0:16 Beloved Tomboyish Girl 0:24 Bad Apple (maybe ? I'm not sure) 1:18 Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship 1:24 Flowering Night 1:30 Maiden's Capriccio (I don't know the Japanese names unfortunately)

[@thesanitycoordinator8227]

I know this may seem a weird choice but... I have four things I love! Either the unused theme from lotus land story: crescent dream, from phantasmagoria if dim. dream maniacal princess kotohime's theme (My favourite theme from podd so unappreciated and underrated I'd die if you did this one) and of course himorogi burn in violet from story of eastern wonderland and infinity being shinki's theme from mystic square. Honestly if you did any of those... I'll create a shrine for you... (I mean I already have one but I'll give it an upgrade and create a cult!). Your skills are flawless and I'm so happy that you are doing touhou themes. I love them all and your execution is more than breathtaking. (Also from touhou pc era. Poison body Medicine's theme is the jam and Flower land also Yuukas theme. But also stage five theme from double dealing character and of course pure furies whereabouts if the heart junkos theme. They are all masterpieces but I just wanted to mention pc 98 ones. Couldn't take it though! Lastly I'd suggest you check len en project. Which is kinda like touhou but wayyyyyy more crazy and difficult. But the style of music is so different but so awesome. I'd suggest starting with these five songs : Mono eye open eye adagumo no saragimaru theme from Brilliant pagoda or haze castle. Mowed down relationship yaorochis theme from same game. One body and one thousand connections Shions them from BPoHC, hands that can't reach the moon homonculus dream taira no fumikados theme from reactivate majestical imperial. And lastly Ake no Aoma no Mitoris theme arch heaven spirit of nagara from again BPoHC. It would be cool if you did more themes from non Jun touhou games like prayer player from Riverbed Soul Saver or something from Concealed the Conclusion or like Marine Benefit best of wishes and love)

[@YaboiMatoi]

This is a giant list! I’ll check them out. I haven’t spent much time with PC98 so I appreciate all the suggestions. I did jam out to Shinki’s theme recently, so right now that one’s the most likely I’d cover so far. Thank you so so much for the kind words!! No, you’re breathtaking! :D

[@thesanitycoordinator8227]

@@YaboiMatoi Awww you are so sweet. By the way when I said start I didn't mean play on the guitar I meant listen XD Just so that I clear any misconceptions of me seeming like a music tyrant. If you wanna also check some of the original original soundtrack from touhou one Highly responsive to prayers notable pieces are: Legend of Kage, Now, until the moment you die, swordsman of a distant star and of course the first boss theme ever positive and negative. The LLS extra bosses are awesome abd have such cool thrmes too. Ahhh... I think I'm killing you with my bubbling... So sorry! Hope that everything will go well! Here supporting you all the way!~☆ PS If you wanna get some great remastering just do yoursf a huge favour and seaech for JynXs remasterings. THEY ARE SOOOO GOOD! Especially the LLS and its unused tracks. Almost all the games from pc98 except for 2 and 1 you can't find the soundtrack at all! JynX has videos of playing a seemingly new remake of the games. They are so cool but of course they are just animations. There is a really cool non touhou related game called nansei and another one called MIDNIGHT all by the same creator. His style is unique and I adore his work art plot and music. For sure check Sara Gaidokus theme. Again I'm so sorry I must be such an annoyance but I love you lots! I know you will flourish and becoming a marvellous musician. I mean how can you become more awesome than this I don't know but you never cease to amaze me. All good intentions from a fellow touhou and music lover and instrument player (I play the piano and I'm in the advanced class! Love classic music too!^^) with lots of respect adoration and love!

Unpopular Opinion: The Original Strawberry Crisis sucks, the intro was earbleeding due to the "saw like" soundfont and the ending was quite underwhelming But daaaaaanm son none of that applies to this version, great cover as always

[@thisrg7054]

I agree with you, the original was kinda bad. But this version is amazing!

@Supreme Xenon It's about the soundfont, not the melody itself
