The Most Beautiful Theme! | Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind (Touhou)

[@ViddyWellSA11]

8k subs! Thanks!! This is one of my most requested covers ever, so...enjoy!

[@johnboy5929]

Heres to 8k more or something generic! Been great seeing more and more covers pop up. Finding your channel has probably been one of the best things that has happened this year. Keep it up man! Always excited to see more. (Ps. I think I’m also getting my gf into your covers because i always have my Touhou playlist in the background when i stream stuff to her, she always goes on about how amazing you are!)

[@MRLegendPiano]

Congrats on 8k!

If a Super Saiyan emoji existed, I would post it here.

[@natureangel4337]

now,I know that idolatrize world is the peak of ZUN music but emotional skyscraper is the peak before,that,I don't know how someone can put so much emotion in a song.

[@lazydelibird]

When ZUN called the song emotional skyscraper he really meant it and was no way a mistranslation

[@Darkusaido]

Both Cirno and Youmu are crying while listening to this

[@nooobshutup9397]

Emotional damage~cosmic mind

[@williamr5618]

Today I am going to enjoy the next 5 minutes of piano on one of the best Touhou music ever

[@steweygrrr]

This, along with Necrofantasia, are my absolute favourite Touhou pieces. This isn't just a platitude, this is now my favourite cover of Emotional Skyscraper

[@bradleydavisson]

I unironically think that "this is the touhou theme of all time" always felt this was the epitome of the touhou sound

[@Terasenai]

emotional skyscraper more like emotional rollercoaster this song is one of the best,i love it

[@brickstonesonn9276]

This theme has always made me feel things that i dont know how to describe. Like the only words i can use is emotional & beautiful but that doesnt even come close to describing the things i feel accurately. I dont know if its even sad or what, but its kinda similar to sad in a way? I dunno. Aaaaa i love this theme

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I agree, it's just a rollercoaster of emotions

[@hugocesararruda]

​@@ViddyWellSA11 a emotional skyscrapper, If you will

[@HaxeRain]

i guess the best word to describe what the theme gives is "awe", its so and utterly emotional and wondrous, as if you can do nothing but stare and listen to whatever is in front of you, or like seeing something divine occur

[@LimaBr_]

Oh great! _time to cry and send this to my friend to cry with me_

[@ViddyWellSA11]

the best kind of friendship

[@LimaBr_]

@@ViddyWellSA11 hey bro quick question: how much 1 continue clear runs you alr got because im on touhou 8 and im getting my ass beated by stage 4 and up

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I 1CCed all games on Lunatic except for Touhou 3 and 9 which I don't play that much in general :) Touhou 8 gets easier if you're using border team (Reimu and Yukari). Also, if there's a pattern you're having trouble with, don't bother death bombing as you'll waste 2 of your bombs that way. Just use the regular Reimu bomb. Stage 4 has a lot of streaming if I remember correctly. Btw you can watch Minogame let's play videos to learn some useful tips and tricks :)

[@LimaBr_]

@@ViddyWellSA11 the thing is, my touhou 6 to 8(ones i played and got 1cc) all of them had this 1 sec delay when i stopped focusing after passing like the whole stage focusing, and this is giving me trouble on 8 because team mechanic and idk how to fix

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Sounds like input delay issue. Remember that these games are pretty old and need patches to work on modern Windows. "V Patch" is a must for these games, you can easily find it online if you haven't installed it already :)

[@Letra_M]

Piano Jesus covers anime jesus theme, beautfil, indeed

[@0festiva0]

*Yokai Jesus

[@Darkusaido]

You know the theme is a masterpiece when a flashlight transition comes at the start Been waiting for over than 6 months and it is worth it Will tick this on my wishlist ✅Emotional Skyscraper

[@carlosfonteira]

I believe this is the best arrangement of this song that is humanly possibile to do

[@lilestojkovicii6618]

Your rendition make it thousand times better than it already was Now its beyond perfection

[@spaghettiking7312]

Holy crap, yes.

[@doublebroskigaming2117]

Byakuren Fumo When

[@guestofearth]

Your playing is so serene in the gentler moments of the piece, almost as if you're a meditating monk. I find this in stark contrast with my own sense of being when I sit down at the piano, which at times feels almost frenetic. You've left something important for me to study and assimilate, so I must thank you

[@ShadowOfOurHearts]

You finally got to it! This such an impressive piece. Its one of my go-to's anytime I'm feeling down. Its unique in that it sounds both somber, but incredibly hopeful, a feeling that you capture excellently. It's honestly hard to describe exactly how such things make me really feel. Byakuren is laced with many concepts that are easy to relate to. Fear of Death, and trying to overcome that. Trying to live ones best life following rules and principles but understanding that not all is as it seems, and learning to break codes occasionally is part of life... Doing your best to include those excluded and protect those that need it... Overall UFO is one of my favorite titles and, you most certainly do it justice. Its also a nice treat to see your gameplay along side it all... it makes it all just that much more special for what you do. I'm very happy to have seen you hit 8k. I hope you continue to enjoy doing what you do!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Great comment :) Thank you so much!

[@PRHVL_bop_lurker]

you are criminally underrated, i hope you know that, like you deserve at least 100k subs with how beautiful you play the piano

[@lazydelibird]

Cirbo and Yoom just vibing at the absolute fire of this cover. Also at around 1:33 reminds me of lunatic princess 1:52 is just... Absolute perfection.

[@Reimuelon-havingFun]

You are right, this is the most beautiful theme ever❤

[@FireBleba18]

It's very evident why this was one of the most requested covers, great work on delivering! I love the key change part, but it doesn't feel as good without building up the first parts like this. Great change of tone!

[@touhou_ocarina]

I really love Byakuren's theme and this one of the best piano covers i heard, thank you

[@DatenshiTenshi]

Jesus is back with another amazing cover of touhou music

[@deredevilgui]

how fitting youre playing emotional skyscraper, cause your playing is so beautiful it gets me emotional :')

[@TeaDrinkingColonist]

[@Doemon069]

[@dodoridodomeofficialch.6630]

I was waiting for this theme to come. And now...i've come too.

[@Crabnuts]

this theme always makes me emotional

[@blue_the_boy_kisser]

Today I rejoice over finally baring witness to the one and only piano cover of this track on YT that has captured the grandiose vibes of the original this well. Congrats 😌

[@D.Wapher]

Always welcome more great covers of such phenomenal theme

[@mata7769]

So true~ very good arrangement ! It's one of my favorite touhou theme.

[@湖露潪澗瀬川傘]

The feeling of the song got me gooseflesh. It emantes such a feeling of warm empathy, just like a cosmic hug. Also congratulations for the 8 k and keep on it!

[@brickstonesonn9276]

This is your best cover so far. Not as much speed, but that’s never what impresses me, it’s the emotion & beauty most of the time. Bonus points if it’s both fast & beautiful/emotional(like voyage 1969).

Habia escuchaso covers de Emotional Skyscrepper, pero sin duda este es el que mas me a gustado, inica brutal este tema perfectamente interpretado, el de Byakuren es un tema que de por sí te transmite tantas cosas... Muy emocional ❤ 3:20 No se que hay en ese fragmento que volvió loco Un cover muy hermoso hermano, Emotional Skyscrepper sin duda es de los mas hermosos de touhou Saludos 👍

[@sp0nge1337]

I do agree, Emotional Skyscraper is ZUN's finest piece of music.

[@SolaireHighwind]

Awesome rendition of one of my favorite themes!

[@RandomGuy-mn5jz]

He finally found another way to get Cirno's attention

[@lunaticmaverick]

i replayed this video countless times, it's just so beautiful, you're playing is full of life, i feel like playing by ear rather than reading sheets give it so much life. i would love if you give us some advices!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I'm not that great at giving advice. I can tell you that personally I always prioritize the "emotional" aspect of my arrangements and I don't reallt know many details about the technical aspect of things. I love all of these pieces to death, so I'm glad that I can convey my emotions during the performance and that people are noticing it. As far as sheet music goes, I think it's possibile to play with such emotion even when reading music :)

[@lunaticmaverick]

​@@ViddyWellSA11It's fine! Even without advice you motivate me, even though I'm bad now i still love playing and noticing my small improvements. These pieces are so beautiful that i can't comprehend the geniuses behind it, you're arrangements give it a special touch too and i love it. and I'm gonna stick with playing by ear, for now at least, thanks!

Join with me One innocent plea This world is filled with light If only you choose to see Hail to the treasure Let us come together The way that we were meant to be I know that we can live In peace and understanding Build it from a fantasy Rise above and you will find it Pause and look around it A place where nothing else was ever real In a world that truly needs it Any who believe it Can chase a forgotten ideal Join with me One innocent plea This world is filled with light And surely there's more to see In a line with no orders Imagine a world without borders Shining the brightest On the path of the righteous For many kinds, there is one kindness Hail to the treasure Here we came together The way that we were meant to be I knew that we could live In peace and understanding Alas, twas but a fantasy I can break the bonds that sealed it But they couldn't feel it And no one else can tell us how to feel But I'll help you if you need it Any who believe it Can join with me by the hand Facing the promised land Chase a forgotten ideal Long nights Dark eyes Seize light And let us rise Once we stood At the peak Of what our passions feared Hand in hand Each reaching for an equal length None above another Each enlightened unto us The highest point of truth That "sameness" has been Our greatest sin There will be Many trials For our patience here On our path to realize a final goal Follow me, my brethren Free from fragile attachment Embrace your inner essence One precious part In a cosmic whole Under skies Overcast With the pain of fear Fear no pain, and rise above the pain of death At the least I ask Faith, lead us never to fear The friends we cherished dear We chant In one voice Our single breath We believed It is so But it could not be so If there's no ground Where surely we can all agree Now repress No longer These pure thoughts that can save us The gifts the heavens gave And see How the world Was meant to be Join with me One innocent plea This world is filled with light If only you choose to see...
