Hello everyone!
Yesterday the album [Remastered Soundtrack] Touhou 3: Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream made by @ParadiseofBoundaries was released.
As in the previous album, I participated and contributed several tracks so I'll be uploading them in my free time.
Remastered Link: kzbin.infoQjtD1MC6...
I want to thank my friend Roxelite for making the video thumbnail. I'm totally happy with his generosity and how nice the thumbnail turned out :)
[Reincarnation]
I tried to convey the purest feeling of SA with some references and especially with certain transitions. By itself the Mima theme has a pretty moldable structure so I was able to experiment a couple of new things.
I was thinking about a lot of styles for this track, but unfortunately none of them felt like they fit what I was looking for, SA never disappoints.
Anyway, enjoy!

Honnestly, I could see Mima deciding to chill in old Hell. She would be very respected after all the mess she did with the Hakurei Shrine and that she grew kinda bored of annoying Reimu and the sanctuary.

Until the Komeijis happened

[@AzuRemilia]

I really like this arrangement, SA seems like such an obvious choice considering the game's story deals with vengeful spirits gushing out lol

[@KarlZuniga]

I like coincidences. I didn't think of that since I'm a bit unfamiliar with the background of this installment hahaha

Ya pero esto no explica la situación geopolítica de Rumania en los 80's

I can feel the Dolls in Pseudo Paradise in here😌🫶 Impressive

[@CrystalChris21]

Can't believe the song got reincarnated in such a wondrous rendition. Good job!

[@KarlZuniga]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked the arrangement!

[@plazzap6499]

the mima drawing is very cute. you did such a good job with this arrange

[@KarlZuniga]

I agree, that drawing is beautiful. Thank you very much for your comment!

Reincarnation maiden ~ 3rd eye

[@Ponera-Sama]

_Why, hello there..._ _It's been a while._ Sealed in a sacred shrine Back to claim what's mine By light of day I fade away But once night falls I come to play Because revenge is the end I seek Here, I reach my peak Those pits of hell To which I fell They can't contain This magic spell The dripping knife is the edge of a journey new One life would be far too short, far too few Strife is the future in store for you Death is too easy, too easy to undo Spin for me, spin for me, spin for me Forever I'm the center of the orrery While darkness reigns, I'm entrusted with the sun Those demon hands that reach beyond humanity My wish fulfilled, you would see the full moon shine Some fateful day, the bodies all shall realign They'll spin around, spin around, only one And everything - Yes, everything - It will be mine! _What? There's no going back now._ _Isn't this what you _*_asked_*_ for?_ _Who do you think I am, anyway?_ _Just a rumor? Just an "Urban Legend"?_ _I'll give you plenty of reason to believe..._ *_I'm so much more than that._* More... Give me more! Settle the score! Reborn, twice as strong as before! I am chained to no body, existing higher Take any form as I may desire Stake all the doubters upon the pyre Then, soon enough, I would rise from the fire! Fill the gaps, deep in your memory! The spirits call my lucky number, can't you see? I'll answer now, ready, I'll play the part Just waiting for a single word to set me free! Your mind is bleak, as weak as the night is black It's just imagination that you seemed to lack I've been around, been around, from the start And certainly - Oh, certainly - I will be back!

[@FluffyGensouDreamer]

Until this day, I'm NOT forgetting ZUN for not adding Mima in Urban Legend in Limbo lmao.

[@Ponera-Sama]

@@FluffyGensouDreamer Foul Detective Satori was a perfect opportunity to revisit not just Mima, but the PC-98 characters in general since Mizuchi's plan involved targeting the villains in each main Touhou game in order

[@FluffyGensouDreamer]

@@Ponera-Sama yeah, ZUN just literally skipped the entire PC-98 timeline (again) just because it was convenient for him to do so and not explain any bs again -_- And I hate how stupid is that mizuchi knows EVERYTHING from touhou 6 onwards when she was LITERALLY IN HELL. And to think that she could have been escaped from the sixth Game and RECENTLY people started to notice is even dumber. I really Hate that manga lmao. Is without doubt the worst manga in the franchise and for my own sanity, I'm not going to take this manga with a lot of plot holes as something Canon (though, mizuchi design and ability is cool)

[@Ponera-Sama]

@@FluffyGensouDreamer my little conspiracy about Mizuchi is that her grudge against Reimu was a red herring and in reality she was an agent of Hecatia, the same as Konngara and Kikuri, and was on a mission to collect magical energy from everyone in Gensokyo so Hecatia could use it to fuel her Lunar invasion.

[@FluffyGensouDreamer]

@@Ponera-Sama well, if you put it in that way, it could make a _bit_ of sense. However, does that implies that Mizuchi also draws magical energy from people when she possess them? And does mizuchi even knows about hecatia at all? I mean, she really looked like she was doing her OWN stuff and not like someone who was sended in a mission of some sort. (I say this because the way in how she speaks, reacts, some dialogues and in general how she behaves) Also, how could konngara and kikuri be related with this somehow? Konngara is not even from hell in first place, she is Konngara-dojin, one attendant of the Buddhist deity Fudoo-Myoo and Kikuri is Kikurihime and the Manifestation of the boddhisatva Avalokitesvara/Kannon, which is a Buddhist deity and kikurihime being a shintoist godess. (And she haves a lot of potential for being the hakurei God itself) So, how does these two, would be interested in helping hecatia (a Greek godess) in first place? And more with something like lunarians? Which it's not really something of their interest?

The necessity of Mima never fades. Love this remix. Makes me feel very nostalgic.😭 Thank you.

Hard remix Sax/clarinet goes hard

[@parupuri4993]

This is such a wonderful arrangement! I feel like the original reincarnation gets overshadowed by the version in DiPP and while i do like both, I really appreciate the melancholy feel the original has... this remaster captures that feel perfectly and it really does sound like its straight from touhou 11! amazing.......

[@KarlZuniga]

the DiPP version is too beautiful... At the time I thought about using that version and doing it in the LoLK style, but I preferred to use the original version and doing it in the SA style Apparently, it seems that many people liked it and you are no exception, haha Thank you very much for appreciating the arrangement and for your comment.

[@CamyCococnut]

**Mima appears** (Mi - Mima, R -Reimu) Mi:Why why its been a while. That little seal of yours wore off. R:M-Mima. But how?! Mi: Oh hey there Reimu. R: How the hell did you escape the seal?! Mi: I don’t know. It just wore off(lie) R: Uh huh…. R: I’ll put you back in there and reseal you then! Mi: Hey hey! Calm down Reimu I just got freed. I’m not gonna cause some mayhem. Like last time Mi: I promise! R: Fine…. I’ll let that slide. Mi: What now? R: … Mi: Wanna do a danmaku duel? I’m still adjusting to the spellcard rules but I got it. I think. **Theme plays** R: You’re on! **Battle starts.**

[@KarlZuniga]

It is something that would perfectly happen in Touhou

[@PapitaPure]

Solía escuchar mucho la versión de DiPP. Te quedó bonito

[@KarlZuniga]

Gracias bro :)

[@Nier2J]

Your remix made me remind how much Reincarnation is probably my favorite theme of touhou. Thank you very much for giving me the chills like I felt the first time I heard this song.

[@KarlZuniga]

I'm glad you liked the arrangement! :)

[@charlie.3210]

Very nice arrange

[@KarlZuniga]

Thanks!!

[@Paradarx]

Best mima remix ever! I loved this one!

[@KarlZuniga]

I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for your comment :)

[@Vito025]

Muito bonito :D

[@TouhouMusicFan]

Very well done. This, along with "Winds of Time" are my favorites among the arrangements you made. Everything fits very well into the intended style. The way you readapt the entire percussion is perfect. Great use of the bass, with this way of using it being so characteristic of SA... this instrument is often poorly performed or not used in arrangements of this style. There are parts that focus on background strings and those parts that are full of energy and vigor, both very well performed. The guitar and Reed Romance were also executed in the correct measure and manner. I liked how you added more melodies and details to the background, as post-PC-98 styles tend to have that. The climax is very good too. Roxelite's art is great. The only thing that makes me sad is that the video only has 1 loop of the theme lol.

[@KarlZuniga]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked this arrangement and the Winds of Times one :) As for the loop, for now I'm opting to try to give more dynamism to the videos that are arrangements so I haven't looped it. It's also because I mainly exported all the tracks without a second replay for the album. I hope that this change will not be annoying... Maybe for the next album I'll add a second loop Thank you very much for your comment

[@roxelite]

Thank you thank you thank you!!

Thanks!

[@guy_th18]

never ever disappointed with your arranges, you always make it sound *right*. common karl zuniga W

[@guy_th18]

ok slight criticism: 3:12 would've been a very ZUNy time to do go up a key (or two, I'm not sure how ZUN does it in those climaxes). but still awesome style match

[@KarlZuniga]

@@guy_th18 No wonder I felt something was missing from that part to make it sound better. I hadn't thought of a key change hahaha. Thank you very much for your comment!

Hello! I love this arrangement. Could you please give me a list of the main VSTs/Plugins you use to make Touhou arranges? Thank you! (For example, Zenology, Super Quartet, etc.)

[@KarlZuniga]

Hello! The list really is a bit long, but these are some of the ones I usually use. If you need to know about more VST's, you can check out the Touhou track transcription videos. In those videos I always leave the instruments I used - The Grand 3 - Retrologue 2 - RealGuitar Steel String - Electri6ity - Super Quartet - Virtual Electric Guitar - Sforzando - Zenology - Trilian - LM4-MarkII - EZdrummer 2 - Groove Agent 5
