They explore the church together, and while exploring, they found themselves in what seemed to be the Aetherworld (Makai), after they fell through a stained glass window of what appeared to be Sariel, an angel who was defeated by the Hakurei Clan when Gensokyo was in a period of civil war.As they explore the area, they comment on how it's always nighttime with the moon and stars looking surprisingly similar to the other locations they have seen. They hear a voice out of nowhere. It appears to be the spirit of Sairel, who tells them about the holy grail. She guides the two out to the exit of the Aetherworld, but not before giving them a treasure. The treasure is a golden cross with two snakes wrapped around it. She explains that there is a notebook full of evidence, written in the form of a term paper."Is this a dream or not?", Maribel commented.Renko is excited that the term paper wrote itself, making them happy about the adventure they had.Steering away from the Hifuu-related stuff above. Anyway, this is an EoSD-style arrangement of the stage 2 theme from the second Chuhou Joutai game.Instruments used:Edirol SD-90:Classical Set: 117 000 TaikoSolo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 006 001 Brite FM EPSolo Set: 036 000 PhaseFrtlessSolo Set: 049 000 St.StringsSolo Set: 074 000 Flute vibSolo Set: 078 000 Shaku.vibSolo Set: 108 000 St.KotoSolo Set: 001 --- St.StandardSR-JV80-05 World:XP-X: 244 Voice SetAkai S1000:SL3025 JAPANESE DRUM: CLACK 2Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

Morning Sun of Tranquility (Touhou-style Original) Drillimation Systems 2025-07-09 | Thumbnail art: pixiv.net/en/artworks/132444288Background image: Google StreetviewFrom the eyes of Maribel Hearn, there was an old church near the open river. Every time she walks there, she feels like the place never really changed. Is she the only one who thinks that? One Sunday morning, she passed there again and there were many children playing with the animals, singing, and dancing like never before. As much as she wanted to join them and now that she's in her adulthood, she didn't feel like belonging there anymore.Anyway, I composed this original out of boredom after a single Discord discussion one morning. It definitely sets the tone for my next Hifuu album which will release at the end of this year. It may be themed to what Studio Emiko favors, but thanks to the ongoing feud, she had no involvement in the production of this track. I want to compose more Touhou-style originals, espeically for fangames. Contact me if you want to bring me in.Instruments used:Solo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 025 002 Nylon 3 oSolo Set: 035 000 Picking BassSolo Set: 041 000 Violin 2 vibSolo Set: 042 000 Viola 2 vibSolo Set: 047 000 St.HarpSolo Set: 101 000 Brightness 3Enhanced Set: 020 001 Amb.Church 2Contemporary Set: 009 --- Room Set 2Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation
Neon Nation ~ Neon Heights (PC-98 Touhou-style Remix) | Mario Party 7 Drillimation Systems 2025-07-04 | America... the land where eagles soar. Since the beginning of history, you have all celebrated its magnificence as it grows in diversity and continues to live on in terms of its individuality and inspiration for those who dream. From coast to coast, everyone has continued that enduring spirit by sharing their own tastes. As we all gather here our wholesome dreams shall continue and shine throughout the country and the world.In honor of Independence Day, I did a PC-98 remix of Neon Heights from Mario Party 7. In fact, this was the only "American" video game theme I could think of for this video. Even though the original game was my first Mario Party, I was born too late to own an N64 and the GameCube was my first system, and this was the first Mario Party game I ever owned. Indeed, this was the first board from the game I played, though Pagoda Peak was my brother's favorite board in the entire game."Argh, Marisa stole the precious star! You lousy Koopa Kid! Don't let her take it again!"-CREDITS-Source: Mario Party 7Original composer: Hironobu Yahata and Shinya OutougeArranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright NintendoArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation
What Im Working On (As of July 1, 2025) Drillimation Systems 2025-07-01 | The past two and a half months have been completely and utterly nuts. Not only because of what happened after the release of Touhou Chouhatsuyou ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity, but also due to the hacking of the Discord account of Emiko Hosokawa, locking her out.

Adoration at the Lowest Angle ~ Strawberry Moon (Touhou-style Original) Drillimation Systems 2025-06-28 | Thumbnail art: pixiv.net/en/artworks/131530126Background image: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpgA few weeks ago, we got to witness the Strawberry Moon skimming across the sky. It gets its name from the time that strawberries become ripe. It also happens to coincide with the summer solstice, which only takes place once every twenty years. Speaking of strawberries, I had the image of Yumemi Okazaki in mind, so I composed an original theme to reflect that.I wrote this original to bring an image of a Lunarian in an emotional setting. I wouldn't know what you would feel since this is the last song of my new Hifuu album which released yesterday. Since the ending is apart from other songs, I didn't know how to make it play out, so I made it a piano solo and incorporated other instruments along the way. I think this would work well as a credits theme.I don't know what my next Hifuu album this December will tell. Usually, the last two videos of this nature in June and December become the first and last themes of the album.Instruments used:Solo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 002 000 St.Piano 2Solo Set: 003 000 SA PianoSolo Set: 007 000 St.HarpsichdSolo Set: 008 001 AnalogClav 2Solo Set: 024 000 St.BandneonSolo Set: 033 000 Fat Aco.BassSolo Set: 036 000 Phase FrtlessSolo Set: 051 000 StackSyn.StrSolo Set: 081 000 OB SquareSolo Set: 109 000 St.KalimbaSolo Set: 026 --- Analog2 SetVisit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

Nearly all week, temperatures will be above 30°C (90°F) and I won't have to worry about sweating as much with my new fan, unlike last year around this time.That said, I wanted to do another PC-98 remix, and I needed to find a song to do. I decided to challenge myself into making a PC-98 remix of this song first composed by Sylvysprit. It turned out really good, and I'm probably the first person to do a cover of it.I'm not sure what to do in July, other than a few remixes I've already got planned.-CREDITS-Original composer: Princess SylvyspritArranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright Princess SylvyspritArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

Imagine Yuuto in Rococo France, and that "Azure Celestial Wonder" could be her long-lost mother. In fact, my next Hifuu album will lift its name from this video. I've been running out of ideas at the moment thanks to me composing the score for my next project, which is large and will likely have over 50 songs, and only a third of it is complete.I hope to stay productive for the rest of this year. The tone of this song also reflects my current feelings as coming up with ideas is becoming hard now. I do have a request for a PC-98 remix that will be my next video, and the video after that will be an EoSD-style original.-CREDITS-Source: Touhou Nemurisekai ~ Wonderful Waking WorldOriginal composer: SincxArranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright SincxArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Instruments used:Solo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 007 000 St.HarpsichdSolo Set: 041 000 Violin 2 vibSolo Set: 049 000 St.StringsEnhanced Set: 043 000 Enh.CelloSpecial 2 Set: 052 --- Celtic EnsSolo Set: 001 --- St. StandardVisit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

I hope I can snag my Switch 2 console and the game on that day, given that there is high demand.

E. Gadds Garage (PC-98 Touhou-style Remix) | Mario Party 6 Drillimation Systems 2025-05-28 | I never planned to do this one, but I did because this was actually a request from somebody on Reddit. I was not surprised to have it come from a moderator of the subreddit I visit the most (and where I advertise all my new Touhou-style videos).I was able to find a MIDI for this one, but the majority of it had to be done by ear because it was mostly inaccurate. Even if some parts were done digitally, Mario Party 6 is the first game in the series to have a fully orchestrated score, and most subsequent games would follow suit.The next Mario Party-related one won’t be for over a month.

Rather than doing an arrangement of her theme, I did the extra stage theme from the game instead, but I arranged it in a way for casual listening.All of the boss themes in the game have MIDI arrangements by FanTouhouMusic, but not the stage themes. There was no MIDI to reference from while making this arrangement, so I had to do it mostly by ear. It seemed to work for the most part.

A Spell That Makes Hair Bloom ~ Spring Blessing (Touhou-Style Arrange) Drillimation Systems 2025-04-19 | Thumbnail art: pixiv.net/en/artworks/128639692Background image: Adobe FireflyYesterday, Touhou Chouhatsuyou ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity released on Steam. Normally, whenever a game of mine released, I would do a PC-98 remix of said game's title theme. It started off as a PC-98 original, so I didn't give it that treatment. Instead, I did an EoSD-style arrangement of this game's stage 1 theme. In fact, the two Hifuu albums that I may be producing this year will include arrangements of themes from this game.More info on the game:drillimation.com/touhou-chouhatsuyou-burgeoning-tresses-of-longevityInstruments used:Solo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 002 000 St.Piano 2Solo Set: 006 000 FM Hard EPSolo Set: 006 004 EP Phase 3Solo Set: 034 000 Jazz BassSolo Set: 049 000 St.StringsSolo Set: 057 000 Romantic TpSolo Set: 081 000 OB SquareEnhanced Set: 035 000 Rock BassEnhanced Set: 017 --- Gated PowerVisit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

I wanted to improve adding textures to clothing, and this is what came out. I'm one of those people who feel that classical music should be played at prom events rather than modern popular music that most tango to. As such, I did a waltz arrangement of their theme, and I made things more carefree. It sounds like something that would play whenever you're minding your own business, rather than anything romantic.Instruments used:Solo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 006 001 Brite FM EPSolo Set: 013 000 St.MarimbaSolo Set: 033 000 Fat Aco.BassSolo Set: 049 000 St.StringsContemporary Set: 017 --- Power Set 2-CREDITS-Source: Silent Sinner in BlueOriginal composer: Jun'ya OhtaArranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright Team Shanghai AliceArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation
Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 (PC-98 Remix) | Dolls in Pseudo Paradise Drillimation Systems 2025-04-12 | Thumbnail art: pixiv.net/en/artworks/129044373After I uploaded my waltz remix of Apparitions Stalk the Night from EoSD, somebody in a comment suggested I put the entire EoSD cast in ball gowns (and maybe do waltz remixes of the entire game’s soundtrack). I’ve done it for all of the characters except Sakuya. When I drew Hong Meiling in such outfit, I came up with the idea to do a PC-98 remix of her theme, but I did the DiPP version, which believe it or not is the first version of this song, and its EoSD remix wasn’t composed until later.The next two videos will be EoSD-style arrangements.-CREDITS-Source: Dolls in Pseudo ParadiseOriginal composer: Jun'ya Ohta (ZUN)Arranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright Team Shanghai AliceArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

A lot of people are saying she would sound better without a theme, but that's not the case. Very few artists have written themes for the character, but this one will definitely tell what would happen if she did have one. I composed this theme in time for the spring equinox, so I needed something that would suit the blossoming cherry trees.You were supposed to see this remix last week before Hosokawa changed my plans. I know she may not like this, but that’s how I wanted things to roll. In fact, if this was in PCB, this would’ve either been the beta version of the stage 4 theme or Lily White’s theme if she was upgraded to a stage boss.Instruments used:Contemporary Set: 041 000 Viola vibSolo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 020 000 Pipe Organ 2Solo Set: 026 000 SteelStr.Gt2Solo Set: 026 001 12-Str.Gt 3Solo Set: 081 001 Fat Square2Solo Set: 082 000 Oct.JP SawSolo Set: 082 001 Hybrid SawSolo Set: 099 000 Crystal 3Solo Set: 101 000 Brightness 3Enhanced Set: 035 000 Rock BassSpecial 2 Set: 062 --- TravlnFlutesEnhanced Set: 017 --- Gated PowerVisit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

The Lunar Eclipse Passing at the Harbor of Spring ~ Scarlet Moon (PC-98 Touhou-style Original) Drillimation Systems 2025-03-12 | Thumbnail art: pixiv.net/en/artworks/127940418Last year around this time, I got to experience a total solar eclipse. This year, I’ll be experiencing a different type of eclipse: a lunar eclipse. Like the previous eclipse, it will only be visible to those living in the Western Hemisphere. The Eastern Hemisphere won’t get their chance to see it until this September.Since lunar eclipses make the moon red, I composed this song with Remilia Scarlet in mind. That’s why the first half sounds dark, before it transitions to the light in the second half of the song. I still kept an image of springtime in this original. In fact, I haven’t composed a PC-98 Touhou-style original in a while. A lot of my previous videos were EoSD-style originals or PC-98 remixes of themes from other games.Speaking of which, the next video will be a PC-98 remix.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

Originally, I wanted to compose a theme for Lily White since she does not have a theme, but Hosokawa objected to my plans.

G Free (800 Subscriber Special, PC-98 Remix) | Magical Astronomy Drillimation Systems 2025-03-05 | First of all, thank you so much for getting me to 800 subscribers. Nobody has done a PC-98 remix of this song, so I’m likely the first. Additionally, there was no MIDI for it, but Willatico had uploaded an official transcription of the song on this site, which I used for reference. Also, I want to mention that I got Clip Studio Paint, which I will solely use for posing when I create my artworks for the thumbnails.

I used some of the same instrumentation that FanTouhouMusic used when he did his remix of the theme as part of a commission, but I also added more.

Space Match ~ Future Dream (PC-98 Touhou-style Remix) | Mario Party 5 Drillimation Systems 2025-02-19 | I made another PC-98 remix from the same game. This was my favorite board in the entire game, and its associated theme simply slaps any Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster theme out there. Aya Tanaka, who wrote the original theme, took on an orchestral approach when writing Mario Party 5's soundtrack. However, there was no MIDI to reference from, so I created one from ear. It's mostly accurate but not perfect. If you inundate my inbox with comments requesting that I do more Mario Party themes, don't go too far because MIDI availability for this series is limited. If you want to request a theme, search online for a MIDI version you want me to do. If it does exist, I will cover it, though I won't do all based on licensing restrictions.-CREDITS-Source: Mario Party 5Original composer: Aya TanakaArranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright NintendoArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

Everybody Party (PC-98 Touhou-style Remix) | Mario Party 5 Drillimation Systems 2025-02-12 | I have not done a PC-98 Touhou-style remix from a Mario game in some time. I decided to do one from a series I love more than any other. Even though the original game on the Nintendo 64 was my first one, I was mostly raised on the GameCube installments. The Hudson Soft-developed installments were so much better compared to the Nintendo Cube installments of today. My interest in Mario Party declined by the time I entered junior high school when Mario Party 9 came out in 2012. It was lackluster compared to the previous games so I stuck with the older ones. When Super Mario Party for the Nintendo Switch was unveiled in 2018, I was really happy they went back to the original formula.-CREDITS-Source: Mario Party 5Original composer: Aya TanakaArranged by: Susumu TakajimaComposition copyright NintendoArrangement copyright Drillimation Systems Co., Ltd.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation

First Look at Touhou Chouhatsuyou ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity Drillimation Systems 2025-02-01 | This is the third Super Nintendo-styled Touhou Project fangame from Drillimation Systems. After finishing work on Touhou Meijinka ~ Song of Divine Tempest, I was confident that we could develop another game like this. The project didn't officially begin development until last month when 2025 began. Originally, I wanted this to be part of the Emiverse but it ended up becoming its own standalone game after multiple fallouts.Touhou Chouhatsuyou ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity, as the name suggests, puts you in the middle of a Gensokyo-wide scent that causes every woman's hair to grow uncontrollably. Unfortunately, a few individuals with the exception of Queen Marisa, are not happy about it and wish to seek out the source of the scent. Many elements of the game including characters and songs were conceived during a year-long preproduction process while Touhou Kichouden ~ Mythos of Phantasmagoria 2 was in development.This game was a result of a deal between Drillimation Systems and Atelier in Wonderland going bad. In 2022, the latter group released an album titled Touhou Tengyakushuu ~ Zenith of Antinomic Monarch. It wasn't a game, but rather an album structured in the style of a Touhou game. Creating a video game takes a lot of effort and skill, and artists not willing to create a game could take a shortcut and do what Zenith of Antinomic Monarch did. Drillimation discovered the album in early 2023 after listening to FanTouhouMusic's arrangement of Slavonic Titania, the stage 2 boss theme. Drillimation produced a PC-98 remix of the song using FanTouhouMusic's video as reference.Relations were initially warm, and Drillimation had plans to produce a game adaptation of the album. During the development of Song of Divine Tempest, Studio Emiko insisted that Drillimation produce an adaptation of the album with its creator as director, while the rest of Song of Divine Tempest's staff would do all of the assets. Atelier in Wonderland had almost no involvement in the video game industry in the year the album had released. When Drillimation and Studio Emiko proposed the idea of an adaptation shortly after Song of Divine Tempest released, Melody Harmonia disapproved. It was actually the intentions of Drillimation who wanted to produce an SNES-style game and have the album's creator direct, but she was not willing to direct games in any other genre besides visual novels. At the time of the proposal, Atelier in Wonderland had released their first game Rosetta and the Well, and their second game Snow Angel & Silver Devil was in the works.During the latter half of Mythos of Phantasmagoria 2's development, Drillimation's games reportedly made Melody Harmonia uneasy and right when the game was nearing completion in October 2024, she had already become infuriated, decided to cancel the contract, and cut off most communication from the company on Twitter and Bluesky. I was infuriated too, but Drillimation insisted the canceled proposal could be repurposed into a standalone game inspired by the album's characters, settings, and music, and Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity was the result.Interestingly, Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity almost never got made. In the middle of Mythos of Phantasmagoria 2's development, the concept of the game was falling out of Hosokawa's favor, as she thought a Touhou Project fangame with a concept on hair growth was ridiculous and suggested something else. Several users on a separate Discord server thought this was a weird concept, but is unique nonetheless. Drillimation was not willing to scrap the project, but the project was allowed to continue if adjustments were made to the characters. For balancing reasons, you will meet some characters who are not affected by the scent.I'm hoping to get this project completed and released by the end of this spring.Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation
The Fiery Snake and the Water Frog (Touhou-style Original) Drillimation Systems 2025-01-29 | Thumbnail art: pixiv.net/en/artworks/126320207Background graphic: Adobe FireflyToday marks the beginning of the Year of the Snake on the Chinese zodiac. Since Sanae Kochiya and Kanako Yasaka have a snake motif, I decided to write a song surrounding that. I wanted to really use a variety of Chinese instruments but the only one I have is a yangqin, which is available on the SD-90 - the module does not have any other instruments besides that. If you’ve used an SD-90, and you know some equivalents that I could use for future Chinese-sounding songs, let me know in the comments.I might write Chinese-style arrangements of either Kanako’s or Junko’s themes in the future…Instruments used:Solo Set: 001 000 St.Piano 1Solo Set: 006 001 Brite FM EPSolo Set: 006 002 Brite FM EP2Solo Set: 034 000 Jazz BassSolo Set: 041 000 Violin 2 vibSolo Set: 047 001 St.YangqinSolo Set: 049 000 St.StringsSolo Set: 057 000 Romantic TpSolo Set: 078 000 Shaku.vibEnhanced Set: 035 000 Rock BassContemporary Set: 017 --- Power Set 2Visit our website: drillimation.comTwitter: twitter.com/Drillimation1Instagram: instagram.com/drillimation.officialitch.io: drillimation.itch.ioTwitch: twitch.tv/drillimationChat with us on Discord: discord.gg/WU5AfchSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/drillimation
