The BEST Touhou Theme? | Suwa Foughten Field (Touhou 10 MoF)

MIDI and AUDIO files on my Patreon!
patreon.com/Vi...
I'm finally playing SUWA FOUGHTEN FIELD! I've been wanting to arrange this on piano for the longest time. This is Kanako's Theme from Touhou 10 MoF. Are there even words to describe this piece? This is a strong contender for my absolute favorite Touhou composition. I don't think I really have to say anything else. Just...enjoy!!
Gameplay footage by me!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

This is a strong contender for my ABSOLUTE favorite Touhou theme! Enjoy!! :)

[@freezedartist]

What is your favorite theme?

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Hard to choose between the big four: -Eirin's Theme -This one (Kanako's Theme) -Last Remote -Idolatrize World They've all been my favorite at some point or another :)

[@mauriciovillarreal339]

I see you’re a man of culture as well

[@comdnoive]

This is in my top 5 too! I think it was literally the second song next to Idolatrize World that I liked as I was getting into Touhou.

[@caramelpancakes2]

We will never know his true favourite

[@tungtruong2135]

"Could you please play that amazing song from Touhou 10?" "Bitch, which one"

[@ViddyWellSA11]

S Tier soundtrack

[@PhantomGato-v-]

​@@ViddyWellSA11MOF and SA's where it's at

[@UltimaJC]

10 is the best game in the series

[@fabiaaquino2207]

​@@PhantomGato-v- cant forget IN too.

[@SeveryP]

Or PCB

[@PhantomGato-v-]

Possible reasons this song is so good: 1. ZUN is a masterful composer 2. Viddywell is incredibly talented at piano 3. It's a Moriya Shrine conspiracy

[@Doom_Slayer_919]

Templates like that are forbidden

[@BuwakoBuwako]

that last spellcard is a nightmare

[@ViddyWellSA11]

It really is lol

[@newmaker62]

Pleasure to see ya Eirin-sama

[@BuwakoBuwako]

@@newmaker62 pleasure to see you koishi

[@supernenechi]

I do find it a nightmare, but it's not the worse one in her repertoire if I'm honest, at least on normal it was actually pretty easy. When I did the run on normal it took me several tries to get past her other spellcards, but got past that last one with ease in one go

[@kodesmack1205]

Its my favorite spell card in the whole series. It just screams 'touhou' to me. Not that I've ever captured it, but still.

[@notdeadever]

Pov: you're playing on easy because you're new to rhe game, and you find out the final spell card is harder than normal mode

[@Joe4evr]

The change in gameplay (in how bombs work) didn''t exactly help to get very far even on easy.... That is at least *my* lasting impression of MoF.

[@notdeadever]

@@Joe4evr with her last spell on easy mode she fires the same number of bullets at the same speed but moving slower. The result is a dense blanket. Even with normal bombs it would be extremely hard

[@minhmkvn4289]

2:11 "Player's Score" hijack 🔥🔥🔥

[@brickstonesonn9276]

This song is the literal definition of epic. You are battling an ancient god. One who has existed for many ages. The song oozes that feeling.

[@PhantomGato-v-]

The funny thing is that Kanako is younger than Yukari, Suwako, Okina, and maybe even Tewi.

[@jacoproita9010]

​@@PhantomGato-v-tewi is like more than twice as old as yukari bruh, shes like 3000 years old iirc

[@EpreTroll]

Absolute classic

[@AshuraML2]

GOD

[@corbeauwrite]

Theme so memorable that it is in every game from 10 to 18 as the Game Over's theme! Probably the theme that was most listened in fact Lol.

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I definitely listen to it a lot during Touhou 15 hehe

[@jacoproita9010]

Nice Numenoko pfp btw

[@kiwi_446]

Kanako got a ropeway to Moriya shrine, but still cannot get herself into new games

[@LimaBr_]

endings of 15 and 18 dont exist huh

[@sero0gami]

17.5 literally have her as playable character what are you talking about

[@pattablefreezingmachine]

3:54 this is a certified reimu hitbox moment

[@JayMonoto]

Since the last comment I posted I went and 1CC'd PCB and both routes of IN. I've been working on clearing each route of PoFV (not 1cc just clear them at all. You know how Phantasmagoria AI can be). I'm excited to get to MoF because I hear Kanako is infamous. Great work as always Viddy. With your strength, I will Somehow get a 1cc on my First Attempt Ever!!!! (

[@thepanman674]

Funny thing about my th9 experience: I cleared every route on my first attempt, and even 1cc'd with CIRNO and Aya on my first attempt.

[@paladin9195]

Your remix make this theme even more epic !!! INCREDIBLE !!!

[@alcatraz2981]

You make every song sound better! If you haven’t considered it already, could you please do “The rabbit has landed”? I quite liked that one!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

It's on my list ;)

[@rigze-osu2409]

super good at piano and super good at touhou what a GOAT

[@LimaBr_]

Looks like beeing a god means that your theme was made for pianos and viddy plays with closed eyes because he imagines himself playing this for kanako

[@jsthaut]

God damn bro you are seriously talented. I think you make the best 2hu piano arrangements. This is prob my favorite in all of MoF but it took me like 100 tries to beat Kanako, but at least i got to listen to her theme more tho i guess lol.

[@Ganmue]

OH MY! IT IS SOOOOOO GOOOD! Fantastic work! This has always been one of my favourite themes and you do it amazing justice! It is so good. Fantastic

[@dyingscarlet]

Holy shit you've made me like this theme a lot more now

[@Darkusaido]

The wind is howling...

[@Darkusaido]

ngl this song always makes me have battle against a true hero vibes. i even tried to prove my point and it suits undyne's fight as well also I've been waiting for that track for ages and it is finally here!

[@PhantomGato-v-]

Makes sense, she's a wind goddess! It's also one of the reasons I appreciate Kuronekolounge's version of this so much, they added water and wind sfx to the climax lol

[@cornbeefcycles7336]

ahhh, mountain of faith. my second ever 1cc, but no doubt the more memorable one between the two i have so far. i spent around 9 months from first booting up the game to finally making it through kanako's last spell without spending a single continue... lots of memories attatched to this theme. well done! you really, really, outdid yourself with this one. when 3:03 hit my eyebrows climbed all the way to the top of my forehead and stayed there for the rest of the video along with a slowly growing smile. this cover shot its way up to quite possibly my favorite touhou arrangement from you. such a perfect blend of tension and emotion... and that hint of faith is for the transient people at the end... keep it up!

[@lofileli1432]

Man an absolutely lovely theme! I am very much obliged to listen to this!

[@spaghettiking7312]

Legend.😳

[@SuperZebezian]

Probably the greatest arrangement of this theme ever.

[@MissingGamer]

very beautiful cover as always, one of my favs from MoF hopefully one day you do last remote which might be my fav 2hu song overall

[@Holeyhell]

After all these years, this is still my favourite Touhou theme...uncontested

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Oh man, I used to listen to your piano covers all the time back in the day! It's cool seeing you here :)

[@Holeyhell]

@@ViddyWellSA11 haha you're doing a better job than I did...good to see people still playing Touhou

[@LilyBlossom1337]

I used to listen to this one a lot on repeat. Great interpretation as usual and great display of accuracy and skill! It's always exciting to see you play one of my favorites c:

[@thepanman674]

YEAHHHH I LOVE THIS THEME!!!

[@Kit-pj5kq]

Wow awesome arrangement!

[@josewalter9076]

beautiful

[@petosss1788]

another perfect video king, thank you for inspiring me on learning piano!

[@RemiliaGaming184]

I love Kanako and kanako's theme ‼️🔥

[@Totoropoggers]

Faster then the Notification

[@Tohorazen]

me: gets to kanakos final spell on lunatic with 4 lives also me: only just wins, with 0.20 power and no lives- what a pain that last spell is, so intense and easy to mess up Kanakos theme is the best in MoF though, such a good final boss theme

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Macro-dodging mixed in with micro-dodging makes for a really tough attack. It's honestly one of my all-time favorite spellcards. It's hard, but not "insanely hard" or "stupid hard" like some of the stuff from LoLK or Okina's Spring Final IMHO

[@GlitchSaboteur]

Mountain of Faith has so many good themes. Kanako’s theme definitely has to be one of the best however. You could feel the power coming from this god.

[@dincraft1716]

One more epic theme from touhou. Thank you!

[@MasterSonicKnight]

it sure is one of the most epic touhou themes (if not the most epic one), definitely one of my favorite ones too

[@fabiaaquino2207]

Now that i've trought about it,i have never heard kanako's theme FULL other than some parts in MoF,guess im gonna discover it now....

[@ImCrimson]

Piano Jesus has done it again! And again with the crazy middle passages, holy moly 3:03

[@breadbug712]

amazing as always

[@aarchives7125]

This was the first time I heard this theme, and I've now looped this and the original for the whole day. Best theme for me for SURE.

[@yumiphara]

She is not an easy boss, her theme seems pretty complex too. I wonder if playing piano can be compared with playing danmaku... Remembering hard patterns and nailing them...

[@SakanaKogane]

The score seems very techincal too! Great job, this is beautiful

[@Amenomihashira]

All these video titles remind me of a Zen koan. Edited for relevancy. Before he became a great Zen master, he spent many years in pursuit of enlightenment, but it eluded him. Then, one day, as he was walking in the marketplace, he overheard a conversation between a musician and his customer. 'Give me the best piece of Touhou music you have,' said the customer. And the musician replied, 'Every piece of Touhou music I have is the best. There is no piece of Touhou music here that is not the best.' Upon hearing this, Banzan became enlightened. Keep up the great work 👍

[@Pavlo_brajko]

peak

[@Caved_Johnson]

0:12 I remember learning this theme on the piano and struggling on this part because the rhythm on the left hand is so odd to play ! Great cover here, keep up with the good stuff !

[@WindowsDrawer]

Kanako!!!!

[@numansadik]

lovely work

[@2hufanatic]

Game Over

[@gari6]

you are so good at conveying the feelings that zun intended to convey judging by how perfectly your arrangements suit locations and characters, revealing them without words

[@OrionKaelinClips]

It's certainly up there!

[@jinsetayinsei4146]

I've heard several remixes and arranges across different genre of this song. Most of them can get boring, tbh. This, however, is the first time I've clearly heard the different aspects of the song and it really shines. I'll have to go see if I can find other good versions of this track.

[@richaimond]

Good as always! I just started learning piano at the local music school, I think ur videos motivated me to do it This week will be My second lesson XD Any ways take care dude, hace a nice day!

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that :) Keep at it and have fun!

[@abdullahalmasri612]

BASED imo it's also underrated. My fav touhou game too

[@Hiroshij_]

I was waiting for this. This is in my top 5 themes at least together with Septette, Night of Nights, Necrofantasia and Lunatic Princess. (Yeah I like older games more)

[@PapitaPure]

This is very nice

[@kokodi01]

masterpiece and one of my fav. boss themes!

[@magnustherad3597]

BRAVO!!!! *standing ovation*

[@tutusiakk]

beautiful, keep up the great work!

[@snackyberry]

The theme's so good its the gameover for EVERY TOUHOU GAME since MoF

[@deathserpent9747]

Ah yes, best snake's theme

[@prismriversisters]

This is so good

[@jijigri9224]

Another banger Are you planning on playing songs from the new hifuu album releasing in May?

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Thanks! Yeah I'll definitely check the new album out once it releases :) I'd love to work on some new tracks I've never heard before!

[@GodOfWheatRiceBall]

This theme remind player about the game over leitmotif, which is kind of badass, is like saying "you're going to get a game over" in a playful tone. from my interpretation, since modern japan is basically the grave of many gods, and by "grave" it doesn't mean god can actually died from losing faith, is that they became so much weaker, myths are no longer valued by people, and by losing the divinity of a god, their existence might as well just a youkai, so it's the "game over" of gods as well.

[@chronobiliussackheimlich8209]

Ah yes, the first touhou game i ever beat

[@UkzGT]

We got John Wick playing piano before GTA 6😭

[@elijahoakley8201]

You should do Crimson in the black sea legendary fish

[@Ciurk]

Very good

[@DeadlyBreakfast]

4:43 Is that a Faith is for the transient people cameo or is it just me? Haha

[@ViddyWellSA11]

Sanae wanted to be part of the video lol

[@DeadlyBreakfast]

@@ViddyWellSA11 Also, just saying, as someone that plays the piano for quite a long time now and who is trying to play some Touhou OSTs, your arrangements are very nice! To be honest, the Touhou OST is already generally pretty hard to play (I really struggle with the key changes haha), and with how you handle it so well and the other little details like the Satori maiden~3rd eye at the end of Heartfelt Fancy cover really make your arrangements stand out and be a big motivation for me to keep playing, keep up the great work!

I dont think touhou has one best, its just too hard to choose. Zun just knows how to cook with his formula, but this one is definitly pretty great!

How long have you been making arrangements by ear?

[@ViddyWellSA11]

I've been playing piano for more than 13 years now, and I've always arranged pieces by ear, so it's all within the same time frame :) If you're referring to the channel, I've been arranging stuff for more than 2 years. Touhou in particular for 1 year.

@@ViddyWellSA11 I meant about individual arrangements like this one
