Imagine being Toby Fox. Imagine being the guy who idolized Zun from a young age, to the point where his composing style influenced so much of your music. And now you're _here._ On top of the world, meeting your hero in person, _working with him_ on a song collab that is a remix of a song _you made_ for an indie game that is so popular it'd be impossible for Zun not to recognize it. You literally earned your way to the top and the respect of your hero. Bro's won at life.
This is such an incredible feat for the internet world, two godly composers teaming up to create an amazing piece of music! I hope this track becomes really popular!

I love both these games so much and nothing makes me happier than this collaboration. It's known that Toby was inspired by Zun, but I like to think Zun was also inspired by Toby's music with his later games. 私はどちらのゲームもとても大好きなので、このコラボレーションほど嬉しいことはありません。 Toby が Zun からインスピレーションを受けたことは知られていますが、Zun はその後のゲームでも Toby の音楽から影響を受けていたと思います。
It's seriously amazing and sweet that Toby put Necrofantasia for his part; it's a U.N. Owen track so of course it's there, and Theme of Eastern Story makes sense since it's practically the Touhou motif. I can't imagine another reason to put a track that belongs to a character that has just about no relation to U.N. Owen/Flandre other than being the artist's personal touch. And it makes sense thinking about that one interview between Toby and ZUN!-- where Toby told the story of how in high school, he played his own by-ear arrangement of Necrofantasia for a church summer camp and got a standing ovation for it. I like to think it's his way of calling back to being a younger fan of the franchise. It's a very heartfelt way of coming back full circle, isn't it? Thank you so much for the music, Toby and ZUN-san!

Toby put a tiny bit of broken moon too around 1:40, it's funny that this track is pretty much 80% touhou and 20% undertale because both Toby and ZUN put theme of eastern story leitmotif as well

Such a super special moment, my two FAVOURITE composers, combining two of my FAVOURITE songs. Battle Against as a track was made for this, this track is legendary, gonna listen to this on loop for the next 10000 years AT LEAST !!
What an incredible collab! I love how well both songs sound together, while retaining the sound font and personality that makes them unique. I also love how Toby Fox sneaks in Necro-Fantasy at 1:30 proving he is the Ran Yakumo fan. Thank you ZUN and Toby Fox for this amazing song and for all the love and care you guys show to your fans and respective communities!
@EasternStory10 ай бұрын
Necro-Fantasy doesn't have that segment, because that is Necrofantasia's intro segment, the only thing the two themes share is the main chorus
I feel like there is a lore implication because of Yukari's theme (1:30) being wedged inbetween Flandre's (1:12) and Undyne's theme (1:49) as Yukari can serve the purpose of linking Undertale and Touhou's universes together with her Gap ability, you can also see Yukari's gap eyes in the cover art for the song.

It also sounds like that Toby used THFont.sf2 for this cover and if you know what that means its quite funny, its most noticable at the section starting at 2:07.

This is very cool, i like it a lot! Hearing ZUN's take on Battle Against a True Hero's harmonies starting at 0:28 is very fun What's extra funny to me is how Toby uses the old THfont soundfont trumpets in an official collab with ZUN himself (instead of asking ZUN to record the trumpets on his SD-90, where they originated from), but he makes it sound really good as always, the flow of the arrange between parts is very nice, and i love all the little details and references Toby added especially

I can't express how good it feels to see this. Toby's history with Touhou coming to a head in the form of directly collaborating with ZUN must feel elating to a level I can't possibly imagine Not to mention my personal stakes in the chosen songs my favorite from each game (although I can't lie and say that "Centennial Festival for Magical Girls" isn't close within Touhou 6)

I love how we can just tell which parts are Toby Fox and which parts are ZUN, like the piano and guitar at 0:28 just scream modern Touhou, the beat and bassline at 1:12 are definitely Toby, and 2:08 onwards are both at the same time. This is peak
being familiar with both songs makes this even better. it's like that scene in ratatouille where remy combines two different foods at once and it creates a New thing

Toby Fox's favourite Touhou track is Necrofantasia-he performed a piano arrangement of it at his church when he was in high school. I can only imagine the dream it was for him to arrange its leitmotif (1:21) into this collaboration. awesome!! Edit: Bad Apple (Alstroemeria Records' version)'s motif can also be heard at 1:40, if you listen closely to the electric guitar.
