Touhou 08 / 東方永夜抄 ～ Imperishable Night OST

[@wilhemtehlynx]

*_Voyage 1969._* I don't even have to say much about the song. It's absolutely stunning.

[@KreationKills]

this. THIS fuckin soundtrack. imperishable night has got to be one of the very few games that manages to have a soundtrack that completely reflects its story, gameplay, characters and overall atmosphere perfectly. i'm not even into touhou that much (only beat EoSD, PCB and IN, played a few others but never finished them) but this absolutely blew me away and still does years after playing it, can't even explain it. imo, other touhou games' soundtracks come close to this but none achieve quite what this one does.

[@Morphogenesis13]

+KreationKills i finished imperishable night ONLY because of the music, absolutely incredlbe

[@MRazorK10]

+KreationKills ZUN's a genius. You listen to one of his track and you can tell generally in what kind of ambiance the characters are. It's particularly true with stage 1 themes I feel, Stage 1 from Touhou 8 onward in particular, since his technology wasn't as good before.

This was the first game I played in the Touhou series. That's why the music left a lasting impression and is still etched in my heart today. When 'Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess' played, my excitement soared, and I trembled with delight. My favorite tracks are still 'Maiden's Capriccio ~ Dream Battle' and 'Love-Colored Master Spark.'

Perhaps people know, but ZUN gave Kaguya's surname Houraisan not only because its a Japanese pronunciation of Penglai Shan/Penglai Mountain, the name of a mystical paradise from chinese mythology, but it sounds like a corrupted version of Horizon, the edge of the land or sea where the Sun and Moon meet the Earth

As an individual track I like Yuyuko's theme and Border of Life best...but Every. Single. Track of imperishable night is a 9/10 for me. And Voyage 1970 is the top as an experience because until then I didn't know what time points were for, then Kaguya throws 5 Last Words in a row. And every one you fail advances time. And you lose if you hit <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a>am. That was nuts for me as a kid (well, young adult but still).

zun's storytelling is just flesh out the characters first and use a random story plot as an excuse to introduce them in the new game. The characters and music are always written with much more care and quality than any of the actual game stories

[@Ikaros---]

the story it was based on is possibly the oldest sci-fi story in japanese literature, written in the late 9th or early 10th century, so I think it's aged pretty well

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

let me start by saying how freaking amazing this soundtrack is. Yes, there’s way more trumpet use but in my opinion, it was nailed EVERY TIME. I loved nearly every theme. It was so good, I have no idea which track is my favorite or my least favorite at all. They all range from good to insanely awesome !! I think this soundtrack blows any music before 7’s out of the water. Stage 4’s music makes anything from the PC-98 era look like a joke, jeez, and those soundtracks were pretty decent. 8’s music has so much complex stuff and everything and it still sounded so EPIC, DARK, SAD, and MOTIVATING at the same time. I don’t know what the composer was on, but THIS is how you make music. I am actually so excited to play this game. I’m probably biased, but in my opinion, 7 = 8 > 6 > 5 = 7.5 >= (slightly) 3=4 > (not by much) 1=2 I don’t know what to say but what a masterpiece, man. Truly a top-tier soundtrack. I don’t know how good Touhou 9’s OST will be, but at least it's a continuation of my quest to listen to every official Touhou music ever made. Wow. :O Also the credits theme sounds like podd maple dream, lol
