SWR Title Screen - Evening Sky

[@mechface]

happy anniversary, swr. 🎉

[@cassietripper2552]

MikuHatsuneWatcher? You there? The year's almost ending. Where could you be? Are you enjoying your life to the fullest right now? Are you stuck in a problem that isn't easy to solve? Have you forgotten about SWR or moved on from it? ...have you crossed the Sanzu already? (I hope not) Or maybe, just maybe, you've entered the mystical land of Gensokyo. Whatever it is, just know that we are here awaiting your return.

This made me emotional for some reason.. oh boi.

[@user-gw9mu3gi3s]

Gotta confess I shed a tear for MHW not being here last year... Hope you're well wherever you are MHW. We'll all be waiting for you.

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

MikuHastuneWatcher... I'm very sad to not see your comment on this year's May 25th ! I really hope you're doing well and that you'll come back here sometime! Love to all touhou music fans

[@Vehehehe]

This is it chief the music that ive been searching

[@Itz_Sophia19]

i love swr

[@ZeStreD]

All of the fighting games had such powerful title themes, but SWR. SWR took it to a new lvl I didn't think was possible! So EPIC!

[@saidcura9324]

Even if SWR was just the second fighting game? :L

[@ZeStreD]

Said Cura Yeah but the newer ones didn't have a perfect soundtrack like SWR. The new ones have a few RLY good ones and thats it

[@stompchunkman4248]

Happy aniversary, SWR! Thanks for the memories, wonderful music and hours and hours of fights.

[@Piemur1]

And the music is just so mysterious...

[@Vengeance19]

This is nostalgic allright. It introduced me to TH, and its still my favorite

[@Frikiman_H]

- It was the dawn of summer. Something happened that prompted her to begin an investigation. The Forest of Magic's non-stop rain, the mansion's deep fog, the summertime snow, the sun-baked shrine... This unusual weather assaulted the summer. But this wasn't the event that caught her attention. After all, all she could see was the heat-withered shrine. All she could see was the rainy forest. All she could see was the overcast lake. At the dawn of that summer, something happened to prompt her investigation. - the deep, confined power of the earth. A power that had the shrine maiden out looking for a culprit. The event was a localized earthquake just strong enough to destroy only the shrine.

[@shinyakurai72]

AND THE ADVENTURE BEGINS ! HAHA !

[@mikegoutokujiii]

Cant wait for MHW's comment this year.

[@Malroth00Returns]

Best Touhou song period.

[@JTFlamerider]

Listening to this theme turns my heart to mush. Such is its wonderful power, and graceful euphoria.

[@lloyfirvind3274]

This is deceptively peaceful.

[@octapusxft]

this music gives a Dramatic and Epic feeling

[@RavioliHeichou-Haru]

LOOOVE this Theme~ It's just this awesome, I can't explain 'o'...!

[@RavioliHeichou-Haru]

Well would you look at that. Here I am, still listening to it.

Hello everyone how are you??, its already 15 anniversary of this game :)

[@ImmacHn]

So muhc nostalgia, I'm almost in tears.

[@諭鶴羽]

I found the difference of title between english and japanese. The name of this song is "緋想天"(hisouten) it dosen't mean Evening sky. I am not blaming it because it is hard to translate. I only want to know who and why the difference was made. (In this connection, I found titles of touhou games called in the subtitle by foreigner such as SWR, MoF, IN, and so on, and I am interested in it.)

[@higuyschannelyes]

awaiting MikuHastuneWatcher... You can do it!

[@shinyakurai72]

At 0:54 , the great adventure begins !

[@thegreatMSG]

This is the first Touhou OST I heard! =D

[@toasatoshi]

2nd best title theme of any game ever

[@aj3639]

139 bpm on a 3/4 project, hard ass intro

[@killyh]

The main part (0:54 - 1:35) got remixed in almost every cutscene theme in the game. It's that epic.

[@ViolinSnowKid2]

I so wanna make an orchestra arrangement of this song. SO fucking beautiful.

[@westtxtapper]

@SpadeTheNightmaren The music has been responsible for bringing in a large percentage of the fan base, so it's not odd at all. Given time, you'll end up knowing the games and all the characters.

[@Diddypartyat6pm]

Gonna sample tf out this

[@stickgamesfan]

best touhou.

[@azureforceM]

The fighters begin their preparations for combat. Will you be able to contend with their power?

[@Thor.Jorgensen]

Listening to this makes me feel disappointed in myself.. if I only had continued playing violin and then later learnt this. Would have been more than worth it.

[@Arch_rblx]

It’s amazing how The first Touhou fans would be around 30 by now, showing the true age and cult following Touhou has…. *Do not worry, Your devotion will not go unnoticed.*

[@Arch_rblx]

@MikuHatsuneWatcher You commented on this video 1 year ago, and you are still commenting?!!!

[@lucagemini7312]

​@@Arch_rblxhello. Your ping to their deleted channel is the only proof left I have of the existence of this MikuHatsuneWatcher. I can find tons of comments referring about this person that was supposed to comment on different years, I believe on the 25th of May. But as the account doesn't exist anymore there aren't any of MHW comments left and so I can't know what it really was all about. Can you tell me what you know?

[@RavioliHeichou-Haru]

@@lucagemini7312 Hi there, I hope I can shed some light on this, as I have also been coming back to this song every couple months (though I didn't really comment). I read MikuHatsuneWatcher's comments back then when I was a kid, so I can't recall it word for word, but every comment of that user was filled with appreciation for the song and how emotional it made him. He would come back to this song every year on the games anniversary to leave one comment. Back then, youtube comments were different (gosh I sound old typing that lmao). You could not reply to comments like you can do today, so it was always individual comments. Also part of the reason why under some videos it would look like people would talk to themselves, back then you just kinda hoped they saw your reply... MHW's comments under the video therefore were very visible to everyone. People (including me) were happy to see they were still commenting every year. I also came back sporadically this time and now I am sad to know their account got deleted and thus all the heartfelt comments he left. Sorry for yapping, hope this helps.

[@SirSmellsAlot]

@@RavioliHeichou-Haruhe’s still here. I followed his other account. He got hacked sadly

[@ImmortalKitsune]

This is the perfect example of a wasted song. I'd just sit there for minutes at a time just sitting at the main menu listening to it.

[@protaeya]

Still remember the first time watching that intro and guessing the words in that part, but I didn't expect what would happen right at 0:53. (and the difficulty of normal AI)

[@ReijiGazpacho]

Kyuu~

[@TheOnlyGBeast]

I played this game for all of 15 minutes and it was already better then almost anything I have ever played in my life The best part is the music in this game is just pure ownage, and there's nothing unbalanced about it

[@animekirby100]

Heads up for you people. This theme wasn't actually created by ZUN, but U2 Akiyama, who did all the SWR themes except Iku's and both of Tenshi's themes.

[@nanintell]

Nice song ♡♡

[@clericneokun]

and this is just the title theme from a fighting game. That's touhou for you.

[@Poggle566]

This sounds kind of Dynasty Warriors-y. Noice!

[@Vengeance19]

So nostalgic, really wonder if Hopeless Masquerade can match SWR

[@slicfang]

Who else is waiting for MikuHatsuneWatcher? 🤔

[@brunorecalde7048]

I think it will be by tomorrow... he said he posts on swr anniversary so here I'm waiting.

I agree. I want to design a game just to steal this song just to put it to good use.

This music sounds exactly like one of the map stages for DDTank O_O Mere conincidence or is it just my imagination?? The map on DDtank idk name but it has dark foggy mist and temples

they kinda take this song and put it in DDT/gunny guess they get this song legally cause nobody sued them (7Road)

Is it odd that I've don't know what the hell any of the touhou games are about, that I am just a major fan of the music???

[@GentlemanAeon777]

Hearing this theme and seeing this picture, it makes me think of this. Marisa: T-the...Shrine.... Sakuya:...Who would destroy it? I can help rebui- Reimu: Wait. Rebuilding can wait. First, I'm going to kill the person who leveled it. And anyone who gets in my way shall die as well. Marisa:...Reimu...

Both: its intro/menu tune and "ground color is yellow" are just the beginning, and its gameplay is a tad faster and smoother then IaMP, while also featuring more characters, with 4 extra characters if TH12.3 is added However, HM doesn't seem to have an English patch yet, and the newer characters are not just added to the roster, but most older characters seem to be replaced by them. (No sakuya, remi, youmu, patchi etc etc) For me, I don't think it wil match it after all.

[@JacomeFelg]

5 extra characters*
