Remaster/Arrange: Bad Apple

[@ilyenamaru]

This genuinely sounds like if ZUN had composed bad apple yesterday. That's how faithful to Touhou it is. There's no greater compliment that I could give.

[@daltonharmon1018]

You're legit right.

@@Nr_Symphony @JimmytheSarcasticKitty kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF7Yf6FvoMqhoM0 He is knowing for posting "rips" of game soundtracks. He includes the title of the game and song in, the version of the song (Ingame, Alpha, etc.) and a convincing thumbnail. Even the description seems standaed and cites the composer of the peice. But his "rips" are all shitposts, mixing them with other songs usually with a joke or theme in mind. Sure plenty of people do this, but it's usually ear rape. Siiva makes it a point in most of his videos to make them at least listenable. A lot of them while shitposty are unironically good. I right away knew the exact video @Ralph M meant since I've heared most of Siiva's work.

Touhou : Return to Fantasy World Playable Characters : Reimu, Marisa, Komachi *Stage 5* *Komachi's story* ??? : "Why, I didn't think someone like you would show up." Komachi : "You very well know why I'm here. Your master have lived for a very long time and you know it. By the way, who are you ?" Elly : "Ah, that's true, only the red and white shrine maiden and the monochrome witch would know me in your world." Komachi : "Let's say we wouldn't care less about a lazy gatekeeper, we already have one in Gensokyo." Elly : "Funny, coming from a lazy shinigami who caused quiet a commotion about the flower incident by doing almost nothing." Komachi : "But today I'm not, and that's why I'll have to take the soul of your master." *Spirit Battle ~ Perdition Crisis* Elly : "And that's why you won't go any further. My nightmarish scythe will be the one that'll make you sleep eternally in this world of fantasy !"

[@kaisercalvin1742]

If this was to be in a game, I would hope she would at least be stage 4. It’s too intimidating to be stage 3.

[@KorytheMaril]

This left me kind of wishing for a version of this song based on that one cover of Reincarnation that Zun did. On the second part of the "boring melody," there's a part where you hold for a second, then go into the melody. There, I almost wanted a pop, like a boom-boom left jab right jab sort of deal. I don't know, I'm weird. Really nice take on Bad Apple, though. I couldn't help but notice you might've taken some inspiration from the famous version of the song. I wish I knew how to articulate where in the song I felt like you did that. You make some really good stuff!

[@AweStrikerNova]

That note at 00:22 after the five-note ascension being higher than the one before it also something that's in the explosively famous remix but not the original BAD Apple!! I'm not quite sure why I feel that it's a bad fit but certain occurrences like the one at 00:28 where it's played twice in a row (albeit with a little flourish between) contribute to that feeling the most. Your take on the 1:09 section is great, though, it has just the right punch!

[@art.em993]

Second part is not boring, it's my favourite, after intro though

[@MrSirHaku]

@ 1:09, ZUN tends to do this a lot with his music and I absolutely love it! Like it's a sudden shift of pace. But, as for the original and famous cover of bad appple, it's music. Sylvy can make it however they want it to be.

[@dumpanimator]

Am i dreaming? Is this a dream? This is to good to be true

This rearrange made it sounded like a cowboyish theme with the Cowboy being a kid with a scythe on 1 hand and a gun on another while riding a horse and whistling this theme at the same time

[@galactg9218]

Why i just found this now? It is so amazing that you used real elements that zun uses in his recent stage themes, it's so beautiful

[@Arch_rblx]

This sounds like a good apple to me.

[@Nier2J]

It's like a mix of the original bad apple and the famous remix...wonderful. I can't imagine what would look like a stage setting with this song. Probably a stage 5.

This honestly make me wish ZUN would do a remake of the PC-98 games one day with the modern bells and whistles of the newer games, where, even if they WERE bad (As if), we still had the originals version of the games on emulators or, for those who were lucky, the original copies

[@nak_vgm]

Awesome remastering! I like the use of the trumpets, though that's probably just bias since the Touhou trumpets are probably my favorite instrument ever. The rest is still great though.

I keep coming back to this one. It's just such a jam and I love the drums, too. Just adds to the energy of the track so much. Really good job.

honestly I'm just waiting for someone to call the original an 16-bit remix. because i know they will. people can be so ignorant. while the remix did introduce a lot of people to touhou, myself included, the fact that so many people consider it "the og song" and all this other bull is just... eck sorry if my writings shit, it's 3:00 am.
