Title: Bad Apple
Game: Touhou Gensokyo - Lotus Land Story
Composer: ZUN
Arranger: Kunio Matsuzaki for JAGMO
Edited by Alex Barker and Stephanie Do
Featuring: Alex Barker, Stephanie Do, Michele Imamura, Michael Maroney
“Bad Apple!!” is a captivating song from the Touhou Project, a popular bullet hell game series. The original track was composed by ZUN, who is also the sole developer, designer, and script writer for all mainline Touhou games. Like just about everything related to Touhou, “Bad Apple!!” has been remixed countless times, most famously by Alstroemeria Records with vocals by nomico and accompanied by the infamous shadow-art music video that has since become an internet meme. With its eerie yet catchy tune, the song has become an iconic part of Touhou’s musical legacy, enchanting fans worldwide. This arrangement by JAGMO features a string quartet highlighting the intensity of the original Lotus Land Story version.
