Determination (Undertale) - Piano Arrangement Jacoder23 2022-01-11 | Well maybe it's more of an improvisation.So to answer the following questions:1. Wait it's not Touhou?2. Why is this a vertical video?3. Why's the camera autofocus going wild?The answer is I just had my booster shot like a few days ago at most and made a terrible decision to record a video. Turns out I don't have the mental chops right now make a new arrangement so I played something familiar to me, even if it ain't Touhou. Neither did I have the mental chops to remember to fix my camera settings, or to even turn it 90 degrees apparently...I'll get back to you with Touhou-related vids when I'm feeling better which should be soon (I hope).

The fact I got this track out still amazes me (even if it's not in incredible condition).I just realized that playing on this keyboard has brought back some bad habits like having my fingers go past where on a real piano, a wall would be. It's gonna be a while before I can fix that...I'm heading to college very, very soon. Apologies for the last lull in uploads but my upload schedule is definitely going to be disrupted some more. I've at least got some tracks already recorded though so don't worry too much.EDIT: Ahhhhhhh that's a lot of reverb

I think this could be better overall but the odd harmony in some short sections and the length of this arrangement made it very hard to get a good take. The dissonant intro actually is a simplified version of what I had in my head....kind of a pity that the footage is really noisy. I need to find a good denoiser sometime. That or get an actual lighting setup.
A Dream That Is More Scarlet Than Red (EoSD: Main Menu Theme) - Chill Piano Arrangement Jacoder23 2021-07-20 | This one was completely improvised on the spot. Because of that however, I didn't have the footage of me playing it so instead enjoy the Remilia painting. It's been a while since I did digital painting and though I don't claim to be good at it, I did enjoy painting this.Also for those who don't know, this was made using a soundfont made to resemble a Rhodes piano, if you were wondering where the piano sound is.Reuploaded because I forgot the bird sounds.

Fortunate Kitten (Mikes Theme) - Piano Arrangement Jacoder23 2021-04-05 | Notice all the cats in Touhou have 4 letter first names? First Chen, then Orin, and now Mike.Really on the fence about the theme's English name even though it totally slaps. Is it Fortunate Kitten or Kitten of Great Fortune? The 2nd sounds better but the most popular video of the song is titled Fortunate Kitten.Anyways I enjoyed this demo a lot, roguelike deckbuilder isn't a term I've ever applied to a Touhou game before but this is it chief.Uh this is just a long string of unedited thoughts so... might as well dump 'em here?1. I missed a plausible Day-0 release...2. Like the new camera? I was using a webcam before so the phone camera's a big improvement.3. ...I actually don't have that many more thoughts to dump...

Maiden Capriccio (Reimus Theme) - Piano Arrangement Jacoder23 2020-12-25 | Happy holidays! We've nearly reached 50 subscribers and it's been over a year since I uploaded my public piano medley of Touhou songs.I recorded that medley at least a few weeks before I uploaded it. It was after a long session of public piano playing and I was exhausted. My parents wanted a recording of me playing some song though so I thought that I could at least theme the recording around Touhou.My playing was rough and I ad-libbed most of it without thinking where the medley would continue. Eventually, I ended it with the same song it started with, Necrofantasia, to this day one of my favorite songs to play on piano.I forgot about that video for a while until I decided I wanted to upload something better than the original Satori Maiden cover for my birthday. My first Necrofantasia cover did pretty well so I decided that even a messy recording with a better take of that song wouldn't be such a bad upload. Now that video is my most liked video of all time. Thank you.In similar spirit, I pumped this video out rather quickly to keep the energy loose but don't let that fool you. I spent months improvising this song over and over again (been a while since then though). These days I don't have that much time to play piano anymore, but I hope you'll enjoy this one.Also, I realized OBS has been recording all my audio tracks at 150kbps... so now you should hear a noticeable improvement in audio quality compared to previous recordings.
Heian Alien (UFO: Nues Theme) - Piano Arrangement Jacoder23 2020-11-17 | "A vigorously youkai youkai song... [t]he mostly one-shot recording full of ad-libbing is also pretty EX-ish."Thanks ZUN, his quote just about sums up this arrangement. Well, except the one-shot part. This, no joke, is the 147th take of this arrangement. Yeah I'm pretty rusty from keeping up with online classes so I might have needed those 146 other takes to warm up.Damn difficult music, ZUN. Also quite a short arrangement compared to more recent ones. Guess I need some time to get back into full gear.
The Sea Where Ones Home Planet Reflects (Touhou 15 LoLK: Final Stage Theme) - Piano Arrangement Jacoder23 2020-07-23 | Been holding off on this one. Even if there were a few errors, especially later in the song, I really enjoy playing this arrangement. Even more so than Lullaby of a Deserted Hell. That said, recording this was one hell of a pain in the ass. Remember to turn on the recording before you start playing, kids!While the part where I switch the melody and bass is quite fun from a compositional perspective, unfortunately there's this weird mind block that's stopping me from playing that part cleanly. It's not a simple problem where the passage is difficult to play or understand; I physically cannot bring myself to play it without pausing. It's like a boxer getting hit so hard they flinch every time they see a punch afterwards.
Ghost Lead (Touhou 13 TD: Yuyukos Theme) - Piano Cover Jacoder23 2020-07-18 | Another messy one due to recording at 2am. Still trying to get a grasp on a certain thing I sense I'm missing beyond polish and practice. I'm well aware at this point that my challenge to myself has slowed down, but that doesn't mean I'm stopping.My comment on polish aside, I had to transpose the second part of this song in about half an hour but I think it would have come out better had I been less tired while recording. Probably didn't even modulate accurate to the original since I did it my memory.
Doll Judgement ~ The Girl Who Played with Peoples Shapes (Alices Theme: Piano Cover) Jacoder23 2020-07-16 | Definitely a messy recording, but besides being tired... I think this particular arrangement was difficult (even after I cut some parts out). This is my favorite arrangement thus far and that says a lot.
Kids Festival ~ Innocent Treasures (ZUNs Theme - Piano Cover) Jacoder23 2020-07-13 | Ah yeah ZUN's own theme! I love this particular song and the emotions it evokes, and almost all the mistakes in this cover are from glitches in my software (notes not playing, audio pops, etc.) making this one of my cleanest recordings to date.Ignore the awful t-shirt taste, let's just say I'm emulating Hecatia here.
Native Faith: Suwakos Theme - Piano Cover Jacoder23 2020-07-12 | twitch.tv/videos/677709883So accidentally started a stream while recording and decided to just go with it. It's basically another messy medley.This is Native Faith. It is also 4 am here and I need to sleep. Sorry, no comments except that the stress of putting out a video everyday is starting to take its toll on me and the video quality. Still, I'll push on. I haven't even listened to this recording yet as of uploading this, so I don't know if its sound good or not since it's 60% improvised, 40% muscle memory.
U.N. Owen was Her? (Touhou 6 EOSD: Flandres Theme) - Piano Cover Jacoder23 2020-07-11 | I needed a break today, so I decided to go with a song I've known how to play for years but never really arranged into its own piece. As good a time as any I suppose.I'm honestly a little stuck on names right now? 14 Days of Touhou? A Trip to Gensokyo? Eh, I'll think of something after making thumbnails for all these videos.
Lullaby of Deserted Hell (Touhou 11 SA: Stage 5 Theme) - Piano Cover Jacoder23 2020-07-10 | The 2nd video in this to-be-named series of piano covers. This time I think I've finally found my footing in terms of balance between quiet and loud for this digital piano.Now onto the actual theme. The original song gives off a wonderful atmosphere that feels like a folk song mixed with a waltz. Well, it is in waltz time after all.
Reverse Ideology (Seija Kijins Theme | Piano Cover | Rearrange) Jacoder23 2020-07-09 | ...accidentally uploaded the wrong video twice.Used another free piano VST but this time it's a more realistic sounding one. Unfortunately it also has a few odd quirky so I had to rearrange this cover to make it sound better. Double Seija!Since I'm uploading this anyway I might as well announce that I'm taking up the challenge of uploading Touhou piano covers daily for the next 2 weeks! By the end, I'll compile all the piano covers into an album (possibly also a medley) whose name I haven't decided on yet.
[OLD] Reverse Ideology (Touhou 14 DDC: Seija Kijins Theme) - Piano Cover Jacoder23 2020-07-08 | BETTER SOUNDING VERSION: youtu.be/G_Kw9Ql4IP4Missed me? Well I was hoping to be able to get to use a public piano again for my next cover but... I guess a certain event got in the way.I found a pretty good MIDI piano for this, but it does sound a little muffled. I'll have to adjust the it next time. Also yes, I recorded this on a grungy webcam.This won't be another one-off upload either. I'm currently considering posting covers daily for as long as I can. Just as a little challenge. At the end, I'll compile all the covers either into a medley or I'll make a Bandcamp and put them in an album, lol. After improving the sound quality that is.Listening to this again with earphones, it definitely sounds better. Maybe it sounds crappy on speakers because of the bass frequencies? I'm not sure myself.I should probably take this video down now that there's another, better one but it's already starting to make the circuit so I guess this stays up. Not without me adding a bunch of signs to show that you should go to the other version though.
Me VS Kosuzu Sans Undertale Jacoder23 2020-06-23 | Yes, this is a shitpost. A joke boss added after the original jam ended. I swear the actual game is serious.jacoder23.itch.io/doujins-and-dragonsMade for the Touhou Pride Game Jam 2Here in Suzunaan, a great number of books from the Outside World are hidden in its bookshelves, along with books from more...supernatural sources. One such book is a guide... to playing a rather peculiar game from the Outside World. No it's not THAT game.As you play, help Reimu and Marisa get over whatever caused them to avoid each other and get the two girlfriends to beat relationship woes and poor, poor fairies.Featuring:A very gay coupleSpellcard madnessA rabbit getting bombed by two bombshells3 types of enemies, 3 types of boss enemiesA progression system that can go onto iNfInItY??

Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist - Piano Cover (of the first 30 seconds) Jacoder23 2020-04-26 | Finally... I've arranged and learned the first 30 seconds of Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist on piano. Now, just the other 3 minutes and 30 seconds to go...Hoo boy, this recording was after a real 3 hour sprint of trying to finally get these first few seconds down. I'll probably just toss this into Touhou Medley 2 rather than finish it since I've barely dented the entire piece, plus it'll make a nice ending track.
When the clown shoes come off Jacoder23 2020-03-10 | Coronavirus, Black Monday... yup. It's clown time.
