Touhou Watatsuki’s Spellcard ~ Lunatic Blue Remix (Yorihime & Toyohime’s Theme) MarioGm734 2024-09-02 | The Watatsuki sisters have arrived! It is their beloved theme: Watatsuki’s Spellcard ~ Lunatic Blue! Toyohime is the oldest twin sister, while Yorihime is the younger twin sister. As the leaders of the Lunar Defense Corp in the Lunar Capital, these two powerful twin sisters are not to be taken lightly. Why? Yorihime has the ability to summon gods, absorbs knowledge, and has excellent swordsmanship. While Toyohime can manipulate boundaries between the Earth and Moon, creates a link between the sea and mountains, and carries a powerful magical fan that is capable of destroying anything. Yup, similar to Mugetsu and Gengetsu, they’re deadly twin sisters too. Title: Touhou Watatsuki’s Spellcard ~ Lunatic Blue Remix (Yorihime & Toyohime’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Watatsuki’s Spellcard ~ Lunatic BlueOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Silent Sinner in Blue (Track 2)All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: syuri22Artist’s page: pixiv.net/en/users/132450Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/82723788Special thanks to syuri22 for the wonderful fanart of the Watatsuki sisters.My note:Just like Youkai Space Travel, there’s hardly some arranges of Lunatic Blue, so I also added in this composition. But man, this was pretty difficult. Lots of harmonic parts plus crazy arpeggios were a huge nightmare. There were a bit of problems composing this song, but despite the tedious work, it still manages to sound amazing. The song was relatively short, so I put in a bit of an original expansion leading toward a bit of Youkai Space Travel. Also, when you listen closely to the piano and guitar solos, there is some hint music that are played here. If you can guess them correctly while also noticing who is the soloist here, then I’ll give you some freebies! Nah just kidding, try to figure out who’s who. Of course there is one more hint music at the piano ending… The only hint I can give you is this: read Silent Sinner in Blue. But yeah, other than that, a composition well-deserved and a powerful theme for the Watatsuki sisters. If there are any mistakes, let me know.So, what’s next on the list…? I’ve pretty much tackled all the 734 specials now, except for one… So up next, look forward to Mary, the Magician which will release on Halloween! Maybe… We’ll see. There’s also a new PC-98 song that I’ve yet to take on, but will not be revealed until later. Also, I’ll be out on vacation for a few weeks so, there won’t be any new music for a while, except for this one. But I promise to resume work on October, so look forward for more Touhou music! Take it easy, now!
Touhou Child of Are Remix (Akyuu’s Theme) MarioGm734 2024-08-07 | I was supposed to release Lunatic Blue, but instead… this song was priority. Coming from the Perfect Memento in Strict Sense CD, it is Hieda no Akyuu’s beloved theme: Child of Are. Akyuu is the 9th Child of Miare. Born from the Hieda family every 120 to 180 years, she has the ability to not forget things she sees and records Gensokyo’s history. However, Akyuu has a short life span, in which every incarnation of the child of Miare dies at age 30. Though despite this, she is doing just fine and is not afraid of her circumstance. She is currently in good health.

And of course, Moe Harukawa.My note:After making this composition, I had to fight back my tears… Just kidding, but honestly, it really feels like a nice tribute to our beloved Akyuu. She’ll never be forgotten, because she will come back again, only just reincarnated as a new child of Are while still attaining the memories and history. Capturing the feel of this song kind of gave me the sense of life, death, and reincarnation. I dunno, it’s hard to put into words... The tubular bells in the second half represent the time she has left remaining before Akyuu passes on. Thought it was a nice touch on it. But yeah, a lot of emotions are packed with this composition, and I’m glad that I was able to convey the feelings of this song. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.I know she’s is in good health, but if her death is confirmed, I shall accept it regardless. Though Akyuu will be fine.And uh, sorry about putting this song in first. I was supposed to release Lunatic Blue after Youkai Space Travel, but after hearing the news of Akyuu, I felt that it was right to give her the priority. So yeah, Lunatic Blue is almost done. I’m putting in finishing touches on that song while also figuring out how to make a decent solo. That said, take it easy, everyone. And one more side note, please forgive my ugly edits since it’s not too perfect lol…Seems I made a huge mistake and confusion regarding the whole lore/Akyuu death situation. I’m not good at writing scripts, but this one did cause a whole lot of confusion. I’m sorry if I did all that… I’m re-editing my description, just so that I won’t cause any more confusion. I won’t delete the video to do a re-edit, though I probably may end up cutting out the RIP Akyuu slide. Again, I apologize for the dumb confusion.Somebody disliked it. Whoever did, Akyuu's gonna haunt you. But why the 2 dislikes? Any reason?
Touhou Youkai Space Travel Remix MarioGm734 2024-07-15 | Let’s travel to outer space everyone, as our new entry in the Touhou GarageBand Windows era music comes from the Silent Sinner in Blue CD soundtrack… It is Youkai Space Travel! In the story of Silent Sinner in Blue, Reimu, Marisa, and the residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, made a collaborative effort to send a rocket to the moon, by invading the Lunar Capital. On the other hand, Yukari and her crew find a different way to infiltrate the moon. Title: Touhou Youkai Space Travel RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Youkai Space TravelOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Silent Sinner in Blue (Track 1)All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: Toen (とえん)Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/39920683Special thanks to Toen for the wonderful fanart of Reisen II. Couldn’t find a decent fanart with just Reisen II and a background of the moon or something… Oh well…My note:I was so ecstatic making this composition. It is actually underrated, and could use a bit more love. Of course, it wasn’t easy having to deal with arpeggios and such, but I managed to make it right. I love the bass line on this composition as well. It really gives off such a rhythmic feel. And let’s not forget… The debut of one of ZUN’s most used instrument, the Reed Romance, has finally arrived! I was unable to use it from the SoundFonts app due to a sound transposition error, it really sounded bad. But luckily, another 3rd party music app I found on iOS gave this instrument life, and blended so well with this composition! This 3rd party music app I mentioned is called KQ Sampei, which allows you to play any compatible music files including SoundFonts! And it’s compatible with GarageBand too! Though, you still have to pay the price unfortunately… But anyways, this composition turned out so stellar. I really enjoyed making this song so much. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Up next is the Watatsuki sisters’ theme! It’s almost finished, just have to think up some ideas again along with a decent solo… Followed by our beloved Hieda girl, Akyuu’s theme!
Touhou Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream Remix Ver. 2 (Yuuka’s Theme) MarioGm734 2024-05-30 | Uh oh… The Sleeping Terror, Yuuka Kazami is back… and she means serious business… It’s the return of her second theme from Lotus Land Story: Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream! This time, the unused version is also included as well!

She looks pretty beautiful and menacing there… Her PC-98 appearance needs more fanart lol.My note:This composition went above and beyond. It had to be remade again because well, so much issues with the old one I made. It truly deserves better, and giving it much clarity and new instruments made this song feel so impactful. I also did add the unused version so that one didn’t go to waste. What a thrill this was composing this song once more. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Hmm… technically, I did make the unused theme so now there’s 33 PC-98 songs left? Well, can’t wait for more.Another old composition fulfilled. Wonder what’s next on the list… an apple…? Oops… just kidding, I did say that there are going to be some new Windows era music coming soon. Expect a preview special in the next few weeks or so. I can’t wait to showcase what Windows era music I’m working on. It’s quite a lineup!Take it easy, everyone!
Touhou Swordsman of a Distant Star Remix Ver. 2 (Konngara’s Theme) MarioGm734 2024-04-14 | You’ve waited long enough… A new and improved version of Konngara’s theme, Swordsman of a Distant Star has finally arrived! Just like Sariel, Konngara also gets the same treatment with the original and Akyuu’s Untouched Source Version! Title: Touhou Swordsman of a Distant Star Remix Ver. 2 (Konngara’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Angel of a Distant Star/Swordsman of a Distant StarOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers/Akyuu’s Untouched Source Vol. 5 Track 13All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: Gyoza (ギョーザ)Source: twitter.com/ThGyouza/status/1710225888694984923Special thanks to Gyoza for the wonderful fanart of Konngara. I’m sure she too needs some fanart as well lol.My note:It’s important to take some rest for a while. I needed a bit of time off since I kinda got stuck with other important things… But anyways, a HUGE, major improvement for this composition. Compared to the original which was too short and pretty terrible with the tempo change, this one expanded greatly (although too greatly lol 11 minutes long… sorry…) adding in better instruments and much better clarity with some cool Japanese vibes for this song. I wanted to improve this one again because of the tempo change in this song. Again, I did a terrible job with the original, trying to scramble on how to make it fast. Of course, I waited long enough to improve this song cause I knew it was begging to be remade. And what did I expect, so much better than the previous one. Though if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Hmm… the last few music I released didn’t seem to have that much progression lately… I guess it’s YouTube… It is what it is… hopefully this one will pick up the slack. But because of this…well, I did say that Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream is also coming up next. After that, I have a preview special coming soon… I can’t tell you what it is unfortunately. Ah just kidding, I do have plans for making some new Touhou Windows era and CD music. No need for voting, this time I’ll be the one picking a random song from the Windows and CD era that will get a nice remix. Though, what are your predictions for what songs I’ll be making? Comment it out, perhaps your comments might end up getting chosen… Take it easy, everyone! Make sure to always take a break. I really needed one because I was struggling to make this theme that I got fresh out of ideas. This time, things will get even better!Oh yes, there’s timestamps too! Y’all can scroll which favorite part you like to hear.0:00 (Flute Intro)1:18 (Phase 1 ~ Original Key)5:55 (Phase 2 ~ Akyuu’s Untouched Source Ver.)10:29 (Piano Finale)
Touhou Dimensional Dream Remix (Marisa’s Theme) MarioGm734 2024-02-08 | The 70th Touhou PC-98 GarageBand composition has arrived! From Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, it’s Marisa’s theme: Dimensional Dream! (While stealing the main title’s name, lol) Marisa also participates in the competition to enter the mysterious ruins.

Probably should’ve find the other attire she wore along with her yellow hair in Dimensional Dream, but this’ll do.My note:Marisa sure loves to steal things especially the main title, doesn’t she? Anyways… This composition took some time to balance out all the instruments. It wasn’t easy having to listen to each part and instrument. Nonetheless, this composition was much of a breeze. I also had to come up with more ideas to spice this music up a bit, so I hope did good. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Now that I think about it, I’ve pretty much done every single PC-98 character theme. With the exception of one that’s left dormant…in which I can’t tell you. Though, you’ll probably figure it out what it is anyway… But wow. Am I truly near the end of the PC-98 era? Well, who knows? But even so, thank you all so much for listening to my compositions so far. Even if we’re near the end, I’m still happy to make more music for you guys. When the time comes, I’ll let you all know what’s next after I finish every Touhou PC-98 song.Of course, the PC-98 journey continues on! I wonder how many songs I have left to make… Still, thank you all for listening to my compositions so far. It’s such an incredible journey making 70 PC-98 songs throughout the years. Take it easy, everyone!And what’s next you ask? Well, I heard from a distant star that someone is getting another proper remake… who might that be? Stay tuned… and don’t spoil who it is.
Touhou Spiritual Heaven Remix Ver. 2 (Louise’s Theme) MarioGm734 2024-01-05 | As we enter a new year, a new day, a new… Louise? Did someone say Louise?

Louise still deserves some more fanart lol.My note:Why did I do this composition again? Well the original one was fine, until it became a little outdated… My problem with the old composition was a strange muddy and bassy sound. So I toned that down a little and improved much of the melody line and other things. And the result? Magnificent. So much improvement has been made including all the added instruments that weren’t in the original composition. I didn’t think I would be doing this one again, but it’s nice to have a much better improvement compared to what I did before. Let me know if there are any minimal mistakes.The new year has started, and the PC-98 journey continues. What’s next? Well, you’ll find out soon. Still more PC-98 content is coming your way! Stay tuned, and take it easy!
Touhou Dimension of Reverie Remix MarioGm734 2023-12-25 | Merry Christmas, everyone! Here’s my gift to you, as our next PC-98 music comes from Mystic Square, it is the 2nd stage theme: Dimension of Reverie! After the heroine takes down the gatekeeper Sara, the heroine proceeds into the boundaries of Makai. Though, they are stopped by an unknown youkai traveler named Louise…Title: Touhou Dimension of Reverie RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Dimension of ReverieOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 5: Mystic SquareAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: kaigen 1025 (海源)Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/86550729Special thanks once again to kaigen 1025 for the wonderful fanart of Louise. Louise is also underrated, so she needs some more fanart as well lol.My note:I wanted to keep this composition simple and short compared to the others with longer time. So yeah, not much changes, but with some added stuff and whatnot. It’s simple, but magical. Let me know if there are any minimal mistakes.Don’t worry, there’s more music coming up soon, it may release before or after new years. Just need to make some finishing touches. Stay tuned, and have a wonderful Merry Christmas everyone! Take it easy!

And just like Sara, not enough fanart for this poor, underrated character. Same artist, with the same image link as Sara.My note:This is such a repetitive composition. I’ve had to listen to this song several times and it gave me such a headache creating this one. But, it still sounds good regardless. I also added in the unused version as well, just to flatten out the repetitiveness of this song. I wanted to keep it a bit short so you don’t have to listen to a repeated melody over and over again. Overall, this composition went well. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.I’m very sorry for the delay yet again. Real life problems can happen, plus new games that I wanted to play. But, the PC-98 journey continues! I wonder what’s next… Stay tuned, and take it easy!
Touhou Now, Until the Moment You Die Remix Ver. 2 (Sariel’s Theme) MarioGm734 2023-10-11 | It’s time to bring back another beloved Touhou PC-98 song.

Same artist that drew PC-98 Reimu from the previous video. I couldn’t find any decent Sariel fanart but this one. She is in dire need of some fanart lol.My note:On October 11, 2014, I attempted this remix and while there was a positive reception, I felt that this composition didn’t do so well. When you listen to it years later, it makes you wonder whether you want to improve an old arrange. I held back from it, not knowing if I should make another one. But finally, after many years of neglect, I gave this composition a chance once more. And this time, the sound has improved so much. There’s no words for me, but just a huge improvement. But, if there is any minimal mistakes, let me know.There are more Touhou PC-98 songs that I made in the past, and most of them really need a new polish. It’s gonna get better and better as I go. So, cheer me on, as the PC-98 journey continues. Take it easy, everyone.And somebody finally disliked it. Who did it? Any reason why?(I'm gonna put some timestamps here so y'all can scroll to them lol)0:00 Organ Intro lol0:38 Phase 1 (Original key)3:58 Phase 2 (Akyuu's Untouched Source Ver.)8:48 Piano Ending

Had to unfortunately use a twitter (or x I guess…) link… Oh well… the art is stunning though.My note:What an interesting composition, it feels parallel to Selene’s Light. Since I already made Selene’s Light, why not do this one too? I’m sure it needs attention as well. It was actually quite a walk in the park with this one and of course, you’ll be hearing a bunch of hint music again this time with Maiden’s Capriccio and the return of the unused stage 1 theme, Lotus Road again. You’ll also notice the piano ending is the same as my Selene’s Light arrange since it is leading toward the first stage boss of Lotus Land Story. If you haven’t listened to my Selene’s Light arrange yet, you might want to listen to that too. Other than that, a splendid well done for this composition. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.The PC-98 journey continues! I’ll be sending out Orange’s theme at some point. Look forward to it! Thanks for listening, and take it easy everyone!
Touhou Starbow Dream Remix MarioGm734 2023-09-01 | Let’s get back on track with a new Touhou GarageBand PC-98 song! Hailing from Phantasmagoria of Dim.

Unfortunately, Genji was cut out during the edits and iMovie is dumb sometimes… Sorry Genji… but you can still check the full image from the link.My note:Man, I must really love remaking some of ZUN’s unused music huh? Once again, underrated. It’s too bad this one got scrapped unfortunately… But anyways, a pretty straightforward composition. Though, instrumental-wise… not so much. I wasn’t sure if this would sound decent enough, but it turned out okay in the end. Also, a lot of tempo changing on this one. I had to switch from 135 to 150 during the recording. It’s strange that the original did not progress enough toward the end, so I did what I could to extend the song a little bit before transitioning to the quiet moments. Other than that, this one’s done. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Time to continue on the PC-98 journey. There’s still a lot to finish, and some have yet to be heard. So I hope you all look forward to more new PC-98 music. I’ll probably might sneak in a few Windows era music, but I don’t know when that will happen… It will remain a secret. Plus I’m also eager to remake some of my old compositions as well. I’m sure most of them needs some TLC after being outdated for so long. Well, look forward to more content, everyone! Take it easy!
Touhou Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers Remix (Jo’on & Shion’s Theme) MarioGm734 2023-07-29 | Ladies and gentlemen, the Touhou GarageBand subscriber bonus/mystery song special is here! And coming from Antinomy of Common Flowers, this theme belongs to the terrible sister duo, the Pestilence and Poverty Gods, it’s the Yorigami sisters’ infamous theme: Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers!!! Jo’on, the youngest Yorigami sister, is a Pestilience God. While her older sister, Shion, is a Poverty God. Both of them were responsible for creating the Perfect Possession Incident, becoming the strongest, most disastrous duo to fight against. Many residents in Gensokyo have challenged themselves to find a way to defeat the strongest duo…Title: Touhou Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers Remix (Jo’on & Shion’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Featuring…Piano: Jo’on Yorigami (lol)Bass Guitar: Shion Yorigami (lol)(Funnily credited because they have solos lol)Original Title: Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers (Live ver.)Original music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 15.5: Antinomy of Common FlowersAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: hisiokoSource: twitter.com/hisioko/status/1646532967895040001Special thanks to hisioko for the wonderful fanart of Jo’on and Shion. (This’ll probably be the last time I use a Twitter link lol)My note:So fun fact… this composition was made back at 2018. I wanted to release this song as an April Fools joke posing as “Mima’s theme.” But due to terrible timing circumstances during college caused me to stop making this song. I unfortunately had to prioritize on my studies, and at the same time, I withdrew a class that was too difficult for me because I had a very strict professor. So yeah, that was the time I stopped making music for a while, until I had some free time. But now, it’s finally fulfilled, and I have to say… it was just too difficult to approach. I felt as if this composition was so hard to pull off that I had to go through many changes and revisions several times. But after finally finishing this song for years, it was more than enough for me. As for the soloists, I didn’t think Jo’on and Shion would cooperate with my arrangement, just kidding. It was imagining a thought process in a “what if” thing. I would guess Shion being the bassist and Jo’on being the pianist. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.And this final request, was by your’s truly! I’m glad that I made this one. Though I wish I finished it sooner… nevertheless, it’s finally fulfilled. Thank you all for listening to this wonderful composition.And now… it’s truly over… Thank you once again, for listening to my compositions so far. I now officially declare that the 500 to 1000 subscriber is over. However, this is just the beginning. More Touhou music will be coming your way. For now, I need to rest for a while. Take it easy, everyone!

Not to mention, the guitars were also difficult to piece together in this composition. I have struggled so much on this song to the point where I nearly gave up. But after all the trials and errors, I managed to make this composition beautifully. This was the second most difficult composition I’ve ever attempted, and my god did I do wonderfully with this one. If there are minimal mistakes however, let me know.Major kudos to Mugenri for requesting this song. I know you’ve waited such a long time for this one, and I apologize for so much of the delay. Nevertheless, I never gave up hope in making this final song just for you. Thank you for listening to my compositions so far. Hope you’re still listening out there…I’m so awfully tired… But I did it… Well everyone, that’s it. it’s finally over… the 500 to 1000 subscriber special is officially over. Thank you to all who have waited so patiently these past few years. It was such an unfortunate struggle with many delays releasing a ton of music, but we made it to the end. And of course, thank you to all who requested a song as well. You’ve all got your wish, and I’m very happy that I fulfilled them. Whether you guys are still active or not, I’m glad that you’re still faithfully listening out there.However… there’s still work to be done. There are many Touhou PC-98 music that have yet to be heard and are in need of desperate attention. I’m going to finish what I’ve started from the very beginning when I began making Touhou remixes. I’ll continue to create them, until all of them are finished. This was my number one goal. That said, thank you so much everyone. Thank you for listening to my compositions so far. Take it easy, everyone.
Touhou Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being Remix Ver. 2 (Shinki’s Theme) MarioGm734 2023-05-23 | Our next Tohou PC-98 GarageBand music and the 100th video upload… A surprise and improved remix has arrived! The Makai goddess, Shinki, has returned once more with her divine theme: Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being! Title: Touhou Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being Remix Ver. 2 (Shinki’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being/An Ordeal From GodOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 5: Mystic Square/Magus in Mystic GeometriesAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Magus in Mystic Geometries is a Touhou fangame created by D.N.A. Softwares.Fan-art picture by: hegatia lapis (へがた)Source: twitter.com/hegatialapis/status/1331193469767876608Special thanks to hegatia lapis for the wonderful fanart of Shinki. We still need some more Shinki fanart out there lol…My note:Didn’t expect her return so soon… But why improve this song again? Well, the instrumentation back then wasn’t enough of an impact and the GarageBand iOS of the past didn’t have many features and limitations when I composed it… And so with some new instruments and total balancing, this composition drastically improved. Oh? Did you also listen to ‘Ordeal from God’ as well? It is added in there, and I thought it would be a nice touch for this song. That said, if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.It’s always so nice to go back and redo some old compositions. I’m always eager to compose a song again to show how much I’ve improved throughout the years. So, I hope you all enjoyed this one, as this marks the 100th video.I also have to give a special credit/shoutout to Mono Chrome, for the inspiration. Their MIDI arrangement of Legendary Illusion and Ordeal from God was very creative, and the mix between the two songs were incredible to hear. I suggest you listen to their wonderful arrangement here: youtu.be/4t-naB_JOHANow as for the news you’ve been waiting for… I’m still working on Mayumi’s theme right now… I know you’re all waiting for the last Touhou GarageBand special, and I appreciate your patience so far. Mayumi’s theme is by far the 2nd most difficult composition I’ve ever done (1st was Nuclear Fusion). But don’t worry, I’m still active on finishing it and it will be released soon. So until then, stayed tuned and take it easy!Whoever disliked this is gonna feel the wrath of the goddess. I mean c’mon there’s already 4 dislikes? What the hell? To the users that disliked it, can you give me a reason why?
Touhou Strawberry Crisis!! Remix Ver. 2 (Yumemi’s Theme) MarioGm734 2023-04-14 | Oh, what’s this? Our legendary science prodigy, Yumemi Okazaki from Phantasmagoria of Dim.

Anyways, why did I want to improve this one? Well, as it becomes seemingly outdated since it was released a long time ago when I started making GarageBand music, I thought that giving it some needed TLC would greatly improve this composition. With new instruments, expanded length, and better clarity, this composition has changed quite a lot compared to my first one. Let me know if there are any minimal mistakes.Creating Mayumi’s theme right now has been proven to be difficult as I’m trying to gather some ideas for it. But don’t worry, I’m still working on it. We’re getting close to finishing the 500 subscriber special, so please be patient. Meanwhile, as I’m about to reach a milestone for creating 100 videos, stay tuned for a new PC-98 song.
Touhou The Sea Where One’s Home Planet Reflects Remix MarioGm734 2023-03-15 | The last LoLK composition for the Touhou GarageBand special comes from the final stage theme, The Sea Where One’s Home Planet Reflects. The heroine traverses the Sea of Tranquility on the far side of the Moon, where a lone divine spirit Junko awaits…Title: Touhou The Sea Where One’s Home Planet Reflects RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: The Sea that Reflects One’s Home PlanetOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom/Dr. Latency’s Freak Report (Track 09)All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: maisuiren (xiebaowong, 屑宝王)Source: wangzichongkaiheibulai.lofter.com/post/31ad97d0_2b5a2ad55Special thanks to maisuiren for the wonderful fanart of Junko. This was picture perfect for the theme, even though I would like to have one with the sea…My note:What I felt in this composition was sadness and loneliness. I guess that is what Junko felt losing her son… Her story is such a tragic tale… Capturing the sadness of this song was quite difficult with the instrumentation. I had to figure out what instruments that can convey the feelings of this song. In the end, it worked out pretty nicely. But then as soon as I heard the Dr. Latency’s Freak Report version, things started to change up a bit, so I ended up adding part of that version because the key change will serve as leitmotif for the beginning of Junko’s theme. Pretty neat, huh? And it turned out so well in this composition! To add, I also put in an original addition to the song while the erhu plays solo to match the key change transitioning to the DLFR version. If there are any minimal mistakes, please let me know.Kudos to VierMill for requesting this song! Many thanks to you, this composition was fun to make! Hope you’re still listening out there… Originally, this song was requested for the 200 subscriber special, but was ultimately not chosen due to a tie between two songs.It’s almost over isn’t it…? So much time has passed, and it doesn’t feel real. But nonetheless, I’m glad you guys are still listening to my compositions so far. Through these years, you’ve given me so much love and support, and I appreciate all your patience in the struggle of finishing my 500 subscriber special. The last one is Mayumi’s theme: Joutounin of Ceramics! Look forward to the final entry of the 500 subscriber special! Oh, did I also mention more PC-98 music as well? Look forward to that too!Whoever disliked it is gonna feel Junko’s wrath. To the 2 users, why did you do it?
Touhou Pierrot of the Star-Spangled Banner Remix (Clownpiece’s Theme) MarioGm734 2023-02-19 | IT’S LUNATIC TIME!!!!!! Here’s your favorite hell fairy Clownpiece and her patriotic theme: Pierrot of the Star-Spangled Banner! The heroine encounters Clownpiece, a hell fairy that can make people go insane using a fiery torch she wields…Title: Touhou Pierrot of the Star-Spangled Banner Remix (Clownpiece’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Pierrot of the Star-Spangled BannerOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic KingdomAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: kutsuki kai (紅月カイ)Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/55028482Special thanks to kutsuki kai for the wonderful fanart of Clownpiece. My note: This composition was seriously Lunatic Mode, literally. Figuring out the notes from the original, trying to make an epic impact, having guitar solo and instrumentation issues, and just simply trying to balance out the sound made me all exhausted. And a new music nightmare: chromatic scales. Gotta love chromatic scales on this composition. In addition, this composition reached at least 400 bars of music played on this one, with just roughly 9 minutes of it! Yeesh, I must be going insane with this… man, I’m really exhausted making this one… But after a series of tests and issues, it sounded pretty well! Though, I could use some feedback from you guys. Let me know if there are some minimal mistakes.Oops I almost forgot…. The one who requested this music is none other than Snir Fridman! Major kudos to you for requesting this song! This was originally planned for the 100 subscriber special, but it didnt happen due to a tie with two other Touhou music. It’s now fulfilled, and I hope you’re still listening out there Snir…The last LoLK composition is up next! It’s not Junko’s theme unfortunately… but it’s the final stage theme: The Sea Where One’s Home Planet Reflects! Afterwards, the Haniwa soldier Mayumi finally gets her Remix! She has waited far enough for this day to come! Which means…The 500 subscriber special that’s been going on for over 3 years, is coming to an end soon… Just 2 left to go! And of course, more PC-98 music will be on your way as well!
Touhou The Wheel of Fortune Turning Over Remix (Sagume’s Theme) MarioGm734 2023-01-21 | The Touhou GarageBand special is here, and it’s your favorite, silent, and one-winged ang… uh… white heron, Sagume Kishin and her amazing theme: The Wheel of Fortune Turning Over!

(Also, apologies for the bad picture quality… not sure what I can do there on that part, but it’s still a nice picture though.)My note:Never thought I’d see the day when I get to add in a tenor sax for the first time. It blended so well with this composition. Triplet notes are a pain in the ass. It was so tough replicating the notes on this one. And also, I was very iffy about the instrumentation, but when the tenor sax joins in, it was pure bliss. The composition really went off well. For that, I was satisfied with the results, though if there are minimal mistakes, let me know.Major kudos to Cato the Mid-Lifed for requesting this song. That was pretty challenging, I must say! This remix is dedicated to you. Many thanks for your support and for listening to my compositions so far.The LoLK compositions are still going on! Up next… is it lunatic time? I think it’s lunatic time. Your favorite hell fairy, Clownpiece and her lunatic theme Pierrot of a Star-Spangled Banner is coming up!Wasn't expecting a dislike in a few seconds. Who disliked it? Why'd you do it?Update: Since nobody seem to get the joke I’m just going to do a regular description instead. Sorry if I caused confusion to all.
Touhou Magic Formation ~ Magic Square Remix (Sara’s Theme) MarioGm734 2022-12-31 | PC-98 music inbound! Coming from Mystic Square’s stage 1 boss, it is Magic Formation ~ Magic Square, Sara’s theme! The heroine takes on the gatekeeper of Makai, Sara! Sara attempts to stop the heroine from entering Makai, but unfortunately she gets defeated easily afterwards…Title: Touhou Magic Formation ~ Magic Square Remix (Sara’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Magic Square ~ Magic SquareOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 5: Mystic SquareAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: kaigen 1025(海源)Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/86550729Special thanks to kaigen 1025 for the wonderful fanart of Sara. Once again, Sara doesn’t have enough fanart… she deserves more attention lol.My note: Magic Square… Magic Square…? Is that really the original title lol? Anyways…Another underrated and repetitive composition to be heard. Just like Angel’s Legend, there’s really not much to change, but at least add in some more detail and better instrumentation. Though, it’s kinda less repetitive compared to ZUN’s other repetitive works. And once again, since GarageBand does not have any ritardando or accelerando, I slowed down the tempo of the music, then change back to its original tempo. Pretty tedious, but actually quite useful. Not much else to say here, but I did a good job as usual. But if there are any mistakes, let me know.I was really hoping to release this one early, but unfortunately real-life problems can get you in the way of things. I mean, it’s been a month since I moved to a new state in the U.S… So don’t worry, the trio compositions for Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom is currently in the works right now. Whatever the case may be, I’m going to release them as soon as possible. Thank you all for your patience, and for listening to compositions so far! Take it easy, and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Touhou Dream Express Remix MarioGm734 2022-11-30 | Let’s return to PC-98! Coming from Mystic Square’s stage 1 theme, is Dream Express! The heroine enters the cave, finding the gateway to Makai.

Unfortunately, like all other PC-98 characters, Sara doesn’t have enough fanart. She needs more fanart lol.My note: Another underrated composition to be heard. This one had a lot of fire in it. Not much to say about this one but there weren’t any issues to say here other than arpeggios. And of course, my brain can’t seem to get any good guitar solo and such, but for what it’s worth, this composition is stellar. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.A lot of things happened unexpectedly during the month because I’ve just recently moved to a new house and a new state. Had to move in so much of my stuff to get shipped over to my new place. And after much delay, I managed to finish this one after my move in. Slowly but steady, I will have some more time working on the rest of the compositions that I need to finish. So with that said, look forward to another repetitive theme which is Sara’s theme and of course the LoLK trio music coming soon. Take it easy, everyone!
Touhou Humans and Youkai Coming and Going at the Canal Remix MarioGm734 2022-10-22 | Let’s go to the canal, as our next Touhou GarageBand special comes from Double Dealing Character’s stage 2 theme: Humans and Youkai Coming and Going at the Canal! The heroine discovers a rampage of youkai near the Human Village.

So if you can’t make one, use the Beat Sequencer feature. Having this feature helped me create new kinds of drum beats instead of making of one manually. Anyways, I made quite a lot of changes on this one since it’s preview debut. A lot of you really liked the festive beat on this one so I did some experiment on how it would sound. And as always, it delivers as it should be. Having some Japanese flair on this one also made this song quite unique. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.A huge, special thanks to CyberShinobiX for requesting this song. Two of your requests have now been fulfilled. I hope you’re still listening out there, you’ve been one of my favorite subscribers ever since I began my journey making Touhou music. Major kudos to you.We’re down to 4. Coming soon on the 500 subscriber special is a trio of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom songs! I’m not kidding, these three requests were chosen by my subscribers. And who are the 3? Well it’s: Sagume’s theme, Clownpiece’s theme, and Junko’s - I mean, Stage 6 theme (sorry Junko)! I’ll attempt or try to release all three so I can jump to our final song request pretty soon! Our haniwa soldier is kinda losing her patience… But that is what’s coming up next! Of course, there are other PC-98 music coming your way as well!
Touhou Old Yuanxian Remix (Seiga’s Theme) MarioGm734 2022-09-24 | Our next Touhou GarageBand special comes from Ten Desires, the wicked hermit Seiga Kaku and her lovely theme: Old Yuanxian! Seiga Kaku is a wicked hermit who taught the Shoutoku prince Toyosatomini no Miko the ways of Taoism. She has the ability to pass through walls, and she creates/controls jiang-shi (mainly, Yoshika Miyako) as guards protecting the Great Mausoleum.

My note:This composition was very questionable… the remix wasn’t what I expected due to the instrumentation. After giving it a listen, it started to grow on me and it gave a nice pleasant sound. It’s honestly tough recreating from the original composition. There are bits and parts added with the spirit world version and of course a hint music is also in there as well. Be sure to listen! I hope this composition turned out okay. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Huge, special thanks to 유동, for requesting this song. This was a pretty fun composition to make! I hope you’re still listening to some Touhou music out there…Getting close to finishing the 500 subscriber special. 5 compositions left to go!

Yes, more PC-98 songs will be on your way as well!Welp, a dislike appeared. To the user, why?
Touhou Angel’s Legend Remix (Mima & YuugenMagen’s Theme) MarioGm734 2022-08-26 | Back… gotta stop being lazy huh? Anyways, another Touhou PC-98 GarageBand music is here, and this time it’s from Highly Responsive to Prayers stage boss: Angel’s Legend, Mima and YuugenMagen’s theme!

It was tough finding Mima’s classic attire and YuugenMagen. Both of them need more fanart lol.My note:Mima, why are you here again? Oh well… can’t get enough Mima I guess! Anyways… What a repetitive song this is. It’s honestly difficult to remake a repetitive song, so the only way to make an improvement is just adding in a better instrumentation. I used the original song, while adding in Akyuu’s Untouched Source version near the end. But other than that, not much changes from this composition due to its repetitiveness. Oh well, at least this one is remixed anyway… If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Once again, time is not on my side… I really do need to take a rest sometimes. But at the same time, laziness just keeps pushing me back again. So I apologize to you all for waiting long again. Even so, I must press on. I’ll be back again with another new Touhou Windows era for my 500 subscriber special! Old Yuanxian is now in the works, and I’ll get it done in the next month or so. Afterwards, we’re moving to Double Dealing Character’s stage 2 theme: Humans and Youkai Coming and Going at the Canal! There’s also two more PC-98 compositions coming your way again! Look forward to it!Take it easy, everyone!
Touhou Hakurei Shrine Grounds Remix MarioGm734 2022-06-04 | A new Touhou PC-98 GarageBand composition is here, and it’s the unused stage 1 theme from Story of Eastern Wonderland: Hakurei Shrine Grounds!Title: Touhou Hakurei Shrine Grounds RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Hakurei Shrine GroundsOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 2: Story of Eastern WonderlandAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: fangxingdeyinxue (方形的银雪)Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/94208777Special thanks to fangxingdeyinxue for the wonderful fanart of Reimu. I wanted to find a picture of Reimu with the shrine gate behind it but it was difficult to find. So I had to settle for this one. It still looks beautiful. My note:Why did ZUN not choose this stage theme over Hakurei Eastern Wind? I honestly think Hakurei Shrine Grounds is more appropriate and it has a lot of emotion too. Anyways, I was unsure if the instrumentation was good enough. I was a bit skeptical when I made this composition, but after listening to how powerful it sounds, it made such a great impact. With the Japanese vibe and other hint music in place, it really stood out so well. But, if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Thanks for your patience everyone! I was really tired after playing Nuclear Fusion so I was unable to post music last month… At the same time, I need to fight off my terrible laziness so I can at least gather better ideas and not neglect my music duties! I’ll upload the next Touhou PC-98 song sometime later this month, and then it’s straight back to the continuation of my 500 subscriber specials! In which, the next Windows era song will be Old Yuanxian!And somebody disliked it. Why you’d do it, user?
Touhou Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion Remix (Utsuhos Theme) MarioGm734 2022-04-25 | CAUTION! CAUTION! Here comes your favorite hell raven, Utsuho Reiuji (a.k.a.

I just cannot, with less ideas coming from my head and having to deal with the most complicated parts from the piano, the melody, the complicated arpeggios, and the drums. It was a total nightmare for me. It really felt like I was up against Utsuho for real… But man, after all the terrible difficult stuff from the song, it was truly powerful. The intensity of the music really makes up how powerful Utsuho is with her terrifying nuclear powers… It’s that amazing… I really did my best even though most of it wasn’t perfect or as good as the original, but I do hope you’ll enjoy this composition. Feel free to give me any feedback or minimal mistakes that I made with this song.Philip, (or should I say your former username, Andy…?) I’d like to have a word with you… just kidding. Many thanks to you, this was a brutal and challenging composition that I attempted, and I did wonders with it. I hoped you enjoyed it and I appreciate your patience for the long wait of this song.9 compositions finished, 7 to go. The 500 subscriber special is still far from over… Well let’s get away from the Windows era songs for now… although, up next is the wicked hermit’s theme, Old Yuanxian! But first, two new PC-98 songs will be coming your way! I can’t tell you which one it is, so I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to offer! Stay safe, and take it easy everyone!Really? 5 dislikes? It’s like Sumireko’s theme all over again… What the hell? To the users that disliked it, any reason why?
Touhou Hellfire Mantle Remix MarioGm734 2022-03-26 | Let’s continue on with the Touhou GarageBand Windows era specials! Today’s song is the final stage theme from Subterranean Animism, Hellfire Mantle!

My note:This was such a difficult composition to make. I had a hard time figuring out the notes from the original, and it took me a lot of time to figure out what goes where and whether if it sounds good enough. Also, since GarageBand doesn’t have a ritardando, It was tough slowing down the part before the crazy piano plays. Instead, it’s just a pause then play. Again, this song is too hard to make… I really hope it’s okay even though it’s not as great as the original. Oh well, what matters is that I managed to finish this one and the effort is all that counts. Lots of drums here that were appropriate to this composition. They are loud, but I think it’s enough to capture the theme and setting of the Remains of Blazing Hell and the Nuclear Furnace. That said, if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Special thanks to Slascoplerd for requesting this song. This one was nominated for the 200 subscriber special, but never won the vote. It was such a challenging composition, but I enjoyed this very much! Kudos to you, Slascoplerd!Your favorite bird brain’s theme is still in the works right now. I’ll try to get as much done as I can so I can focus on the next few compositions that I want to release. And thus, this marks half of the 500 subscriber specials is done. Only 8 more to go! Up next after Utsuho is dealt with, your favorite wicked hermit, Seiga’s theme will be upcoming! But before that, there are some PC-98 music that I want to release.

Touhou The Inevitably Forbidden Game Remix MarioGm734 2022-02-10 | It’s been over a year since I made a new Touhou PC-98 GarageBand composition, so let’s finally start a new one with the extra stage theme from Lotus Land Story, The Inevitably Forbidden Game! After defeating the Sleeping Terror, the heroine goes into another strange dream land, where they encounter the deadly twin sisters Mugetsu and Gengetsu… Title: Touhou The Inevitably Forbidden Game RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: The Inevitably Forbidden GameOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 4: Lotus Land StoryAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: razuzyamu (ム)Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/50872624Special thanks to razuzyamu for the wonderful fanart of Mugetsu and Gengetsu.My note:Has it been over a year since I last made a new PC-98 composition? Man, time is really bizarre… Anyways, even after I’ve been away from making them, I still got this composition down. ZUN definitely has some way of creating such mysterious music. It was a bit tricky managing some of the instruments, but I pulled it off quite well. And yes, the ZUNpet is there somewhere… you’ll have to listen for it. There are also some hint music out there too. Other than the instrumentation, the composition turned out well. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Reincarnation has really left me tired. I got so exhausted for a month after all that tough work, but don’t worry! I’m full of energy again and I plan not to leave you guys hanging either. Also, as I have reached 900 subscribers, I’m on the road to 1000 subscribers which is definitely a good milestone to reach. I never thought I would make it this far… Even if I’m the most underrated Touhou music composer, I still challenge myself making more music as I go. All in all, thank you so much for all your support and for listening to my compositions so far. I really can’t wait to share this milestone with you very soon.And of course, the 500 subscriber special is still on going… I haven’t made much progress at all lately due to my latest composition, but I will still keep on trying no matter how hard it is! So yes, Hellfire Mantle and Nuclear Fusion is next on the list! Of course, new PC-98 compositions will be coming your way as well. You’ll get to hear them soon right after the two Windows era songs!
Touhou Reincarnation Remix Ver. 2 (Mimas Theme) MarioGm734 2021-12-29 | You asked… You’ve waited… It’s finally time for her theme to rise again… Here it is, Mima’s beloved theme Reincarnation is back and even better improvement! This time around, the Original and the Dolls in Pseudo Paradise version are combined in one remix! Title: Touhou Reincarnation Remix Ver. 2 (Mima’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: ReincarnationOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 3: Phantasmagoria of Dimensional Dream/Dolls in Pseudo Paradise (Track 10)All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: katayama kei (wagocolo)Source: twitter.com/wagocolo/status/1302940714980892674?s=21Special thanks to katayama kei for the wonderful fanart of Mima. Out of all the amazing Touhou PC-98 fanart, katayama kei stood out to me more. This is an incredible fanart of Mima. We still need some more PC-98 fanart out there lol.My note:I’ve waited long enough to remix this song once again. I’ve basically told myself that I would improve this song and make it better. After composing my original remix, I thought that I left this song hanging because I didn’t really make an ending to it or even made it turn out great. This was by far the biggest change I’ve ever made to this composition. I put up my heart and soul making this song. With new and returning instruments, this composition turned out to be majestic. There is also a guest instrument that most of you are familiar with, you’ll have to listen to it near the end of the song! Anyways, if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.If only Mima herself returns again… Oh well… Man I’m tired, but I’m not out yet! There are more compositions to come! A lot of you are waiting for your favorite bird-brain’s theme and her stage theme, but I want to start with a new PC-98 song first before moving on. You’ll find out what it is soon enough… Thank you everyone for listening to my compositions so far! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Years! Take it easy!Who dares dislike Mima’s theme? To the user, why?
Touhou Cemetery of Onbashira ~ Grave of Being Remix MarioGm734 2021-12-03 | The next Touhou Windows era GarageBand special comes from the last stage theme from Mountain of Faith: Cemetery of Onbashira! After the heroine defeats the wind priestess Sanae, the heroine proceeds to the Moriya Shrine where the powerful Wind Goddess Kanako Yasaka awaits….Title: Touhou Cemetery of Onbashira ~ Grave of Being RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Cemetery of Onbashira ~ Grave of BeingOriginal Music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 10: Mountain of FaithAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fanart picture by: murasaki tsutsuji (むらさきつつじ)Original Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/89993253Special thanks to murasaki tsutsuji for the wonderful fanart of Kanako. I like how there’s Mishaguji behind her (if it is Mishaguji lol). Mishaguji’s looking very menacing…My note:Like Doll of Misery, Cemetery of Onbashira is really short. According to ZUN’s comments, he made this song short due to the stage being a bit short in which the final boss is already near. Strangely enough, I went off and extended it cause I wanted to hear a bit more, even if the stage is short… I added in hint music in the extension, which is Kanako’s theme so be sure to listen. Of course, there is Japanese flair, as it was best suited for this theme. There really wasn’t that much progression in the original, so I thought it would be best to give it a little more love to it. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.A huge, special thanks to Yibbon for requesting this song. This one was really underrated, so I thought it was best to give it some more love. Many thanks to you!You know who’s up next! I’m sure she is ready for another reincarnation… Afterwards, your favorite bird-brain’s theme and her stage theme will also be coming up soon… Stay safe, and take it easy!Hey, who soiled a dislike here? To the user, why did you do it?

Looking pretty scary there, Yumeko…My note:When I composed this song years back, I really felt there were some silly mistakes I made in some of the melody parts. So, what has changed in this new version? Well, better instrumentation, correct notes, and a small ending of the song since I didn’t put one there. Honestly, what a vast improvement from the first arrangement. Let me know if there are still some minimal mistakes though.I promise you guys Reincarnation Ver. 2 and it will be released in December soon. Following up after that will be Subterranean Animism’s final stage theme and Utsuho’s theme! Before that, up next will be the final stage theme of Mountain of Faith: Cemetery of Onbashira! Which will release… soon! Just need to put in the finishing touches!
Touhou Wind God Girl Remix (Ayas Theme) MarioGm734 2021-10-29 | The next Touhou Windows era GarageBand subscriber special comes from the notorious tengu, Aya Shameimaru and her beloved theme: Wind God Girl! Aya Shameimaru is a tengu reporter and writer of Bunbunmaru Newspaper, flying fast all across Gensokyo to find some juicy news.Title: Touhou Wind God Girl Remix (Aya’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Wind God GirlOriginal Music composed by: ZUNSource: Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red (Track 01)/Touhou 9: Phantasmagoria of Flower ViewAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fanart picture by: Suguni/ellipsis (mitei) Original Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/83959570Special thanks to Suguni for the wonderful fanart of Aya Shameimaru.My note:What a difficult composition. When GarageBand does not have a ritardando sequence, you improvise. Anyways, yes I used the expanded version from Bohemian Archive, rather than the short version from Flower View. As soon as I get to the piano solo part, things got tougher. But man, what a blast this composition was. Also, there’s some hint music. Spot them, and tell me what I played. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Huge, special thanks to CyberShinobiX for requesting this song. This was requested a long time ago when I made a 50 subscriber special. Thank you so much, for listening to my music, Cyber.Right now, Reincarnation is still pending… I’m still gathering some ideas to make it sound good… Until then, I’ll be making a new version of Doll of Misery instead. Afterwards, Cemetery of Onbashira will be next on the subscriber special. Stay safe, and take it easy everyone!Update: False claim, eliminated. All of my music is saved. Let’s hope I don’t get them again… Also a dislike. To the user, why did you disliked this?
Touhou Illusion of a Maid ~ Icemilk Magic Remix Ver. 2 (Mugetsus Theme) MarioGm734 2021-09-27 | Back to Touhou PC-98!

I’m proud of this one. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Reincarnation will have to wait for a little while… So up next will be the next Touhou Windows era subscriber special: Wind God Girl, Aya’s Theme! Look forward to more on October or so!
Touhou Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon Remix (Reisens Theme) MarioGm734 2021-08-24 | Back again… We return to the Touhou Windows era GarageBand specials with a new composition from Imperishable Night! It’s your favorite bunny Reisen’s theme: Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon! The heroine and their partner entered a strange mansion called Eientei in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, where they encounter one of the moon rabbit guards, Reisen Udongein Inaba…Title: Touhou Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full MoonOriginal Music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 8: Imperishable NightAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fanart picture by: maachi (まあち)Original Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/73516446Special thanks to maachi for the wonderful fanart of Reisen Udongein Inaba.My note:What a difficult composition… It took me months to put this song in my head, and it’s always about those damn piano parts lol. Anyways, since GarageBand doesn’t do any time signature change, I had to rely on the metronome. After a few months of neglecting this song due to college and vacation, I was finally able to make this composition. It was rough having to do multiple piano parts, but I managed to get it done despite how bad sounds. So if you hear some minimal mistakes, let me know. Very special thanks to julmer (formerly Moonman?) for choosing this song. I honestly had a blast making this song. It was a great challenge!Only 5 down, and I’m not even close to done lol. If you want to know what happened to me, my explanation is in the discussion page of my YouTube channel. I tried to work on my compositions as much as I can, but it has been tough work the last few months. I really needed to take the time off on other important things. Now that I have some free time, I’ll be able to continue on the subscriber special as planned. But at the same time, I also want to continue making PC-98 music. So, in the next coming weeks and months, I want to prioritize on remaking some of my old PC-98 music while subsequently putting the Windows era as well. So expect a remade version of Mugetsu’s theme and Mima’s Reincarnation theme to be released next month or so. Wind God Girl, Aya’s theme is up next afterwards. Also, I’m planning a secret subscriber special composition that ties to my username’s number, 734. Yes, I reached 734 subscribers the other day while I was absent. Look forward to it! Thank you so much, for all your support and patience! I’m on the road to 1000 subscribers now, and it’s been quite the journey! Please stay safe, and take it easy everyone!
Touhou The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky Remix MarioGm734 2021-03-31 | Spring is in the air, as our next Touhou GarageBand special comes from Perfect Cherry Blossom stage 4 theme, The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky! The heroine follows a trail of cherry blossom petals in the skies of Gensokyo, leading to a magical boundary and an encounter of the Prismriver sisters...Title: Touhou The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: The Capital City of Flowers in the SkyOriginal Music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry BlossomAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fanart picture by: akiira (アキーラ)Original Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/80583678Special thanks to akiira for the wonderful fanart of Lily White.My note:Originally, I wanted to release this song as a bonus material, but I had a tough time figuring out how to make it sound nice. Anyways, this song is nowhere near how the original is played. I guess this is the first time I made something quite unique. Although the original is beautiful, the drums are kind of loud and overpowering the melody line. So instead, I gave it a nice chill feeling with added percussion instruments to make it a little lively. Adding wind instruments and some strings made this song so impactful. Honestly, I like it a lot, but I feel like I should stick with playing it originally... Oh well, it’s still sounds amazing to me, but if there are some minimal mistakes, let me know.Very special thanks to tuhkapussi987 for choosing this song. This was a wonderful piece to make.I honestly wish that I have more time so that I can create my GarageBand music much faster, but time constraints have left me with focusing on other important things such as finishing college and working on a senior project that I need to take seriously even though we are still in a pandemic. However, I will stay vigilant and try to find some time to make more of my Touhou GarageBand songs. The subscriber special is far from over, there’s more to come, so I hope you will continue to enjoy listening to them. That said, thank you for your patience everyone! Stay safe out there, and take it easy! (Also, hope you’re all enjoying the new demo of Unconnected Marketeers!)4 down, 12 to go.Who would dislike such a soothing song? To the user, why'd you do it?
Touhou Outsider Cocktail Remix MarioGm734 2021-02-20 | The wait is over, the last of ZUN’s CD soundtracks come from Dateless Bar “Old Adam,” Outsider Cocktail! Maribel and Renko investigate the strange “Old Adam” bar...Title: Touhou Outsider Cocktail RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Outsider CocktailOriginal Music composed by: ZUNSource: Dateless Bar “Old Adam” Track 04All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fanart picture by: minus (sr minkea) (マイナス)Original Source: pixiv.net/en/artworks/69358242Special thanks to minus (sr mineka) for the wonderful fanart of Maribel and Renko. I wanted to find a Dateless Old Adam Bar themed picture. This will have to do.My note:Too difficult. This song is too difficult. I had a bunch of wrong notes plus crazy arpeggios that made this song too difficult. Worst of all, the dissonance on the piano part made me frustrated. It was tough recreating the dissonance of this song... And it’s a little repetitive as well. The key change in the original is wacky. I could’ve finished this before the end of January... But it is what it is. Hopefully I didn’t mess up too bad. Anyways, the electronic drums are taking over, but of course I added some additional instruments to make this song have an impact. It honestly sounds like a battle theme, and nowhere near a drinking theme... Oh well. If there are any minimal mistakes let me know.Once again, thank you Pumpkin_Ri for requesting this song. The two songs that you gave me were very challenging! I had a ton of fun composing this song!And that’s all of ZUN’s CD soundtracks! We can finally start the mainline Touhou songs in chronological order! Time to visit spring, the Capital City of Flowers in the Sky is next!3 down, 14 to go!Update: Man... this song is very underrated. The performance did not seem to go up as I hoped. I guess maybe the song is too loud or this music is unappreciated...? I don’t know really... I didn’t think that ZUN CD soundtracks would be underrated just as the PC-98 songs... I’m eager to hear your thoughts and criticism about it.
Touhou Schrödinger’s Bakeneko Remix MarioGm734 2021-01-04 | As we enter a new year, the next Touhou GarageBand special comes from another soundtrack from ZUN’s CD, Dr. Latency’s Freak Report, Schrödinger’s Bakeneko!

Finding a good of picture of these two is a bit hard...My note:This composition was a bit questionable when I created it. The bass line in the original was a bit weird, so I had to change it a bit while putting in the same notes. Another change was the drum set. Honestly, it sounds a lot better than the electronic drum set that ZUN uses... But hey, any drum instrument works as long as it sounds good. I love adding in the marimba and vibraphone. These two were a perfect contender for this song. It really takes me back to my drumline days in high school. Everything else sounds great so far, but if there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.A huge special thanks to Pumpkin_Ri for requesting this song. You got another one coming in soon, but I hope you enjoyed this wonderful composition! One more of ZUN’s CD soundtracks to go, and we can finally move on to the Touhou main series music! Have a safe and Happy New Year, and take it easy!2 down, 15 to go!

This is the first time I used a festive picture.My note:There are some Touhou music that are hard to compose. This is one of them. Arpeggios are still my worst enemy. But after composing it, it turned out so beautiful and emotional. Ghostly Field Club has some really interesting music. I recommend listening to some of ZUN’s CD soundtracks. There is a hint music in this composition so be sure to listen. Also here’s a little side activity: can you guess what hint music I’m playing? The only hint I’ll give you is that it’s also in the Ghostly Field Club music tracks! If there’s any minimal mistakes, let me know.A huge special thanks to Lucas Coelho for requesting this song! You gave me a really difficult composition, but it was worth the effort!There are two more of ZUN’s CD Soundtracks waiting to be finished. I’m working on them right now, and I’ll upload them as soon as possible. Also thank you for your patience everyone, a lot has happened this year.

Touhou Sleeping Terror Remix (Yuukas Theme) MarioGm734 2020-07-19 | The true 60th Touhou PC-98 GarageBand composition is here! Hailing from Lotus Land Story’s stage 5 boss and Yuuka’s first theme, it’s Sleeping Terror!! The heroine encounters Yuuka Kazami, a terrifying youkai whose slumber is disturbed and reigns terror upon the heroine...Title: Touhou Sleeping Terror Remix (Yuuka’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Sleeping TerrorOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 4: Lotus Land StoryAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: shironeko yuukiSource: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2667818(Special thanks to shironeko yuuki for creating this wonderful fanart of PC-98 Yuuka. It’s hard to find a decent picture of Yuuka in her sleepwear...)My note:(Special Update: As of May 2024, Sleeping Terror is still currently my most viewed video. She's in a Temper had a long run of being the most viewed video, but now Sleeping Terror has taken the crown. How unexpected... and now it appears it has surpassed to 30,000 views along with 1000 likes, marking my first video to achieve such a great milestone. Will it reach 50,000 or to 100,000? I dunno. We’ll see...)A lot of effort was put into this composition. The most I could do is keeping it original as possible, while adding a few changes, hint music, and epic flairs to go along with this song. After all, Yuuka is a youkai to be feared, making this song powerful. Other than that, the composition went well as it should be. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.I lost a bit of confidence after hearing other people’s Sleeping Terror remix on YouTube (especially GaMetal’s remix, his metal cover is amazing! I suggest that you take a listen to his remix.). But don’t worry, I’m not one to give up that easily! There are still plenty of Touhou PC-98 compositions left for me to make with some that don’t have enough attention. And so, I must continue creating them as soon as possible. Of course, as I mentioned before, I have reached 500 subscribers, so I’m prepared to take your requests of every Touhou Windows era music you got. I am more than happy to get this started.Stay safe, and take it easy!(And two dislikes. Yikes. To the users who disliked it, any reason why?)
Touhou Lotus Love & Incomplete Plot Remix MarioGm734 2020-06-28 | A new Touhou PC-98 GarageBand composition is finally here! This theme comes from Lotus Land Story’s Stage 5, Lotus Love and the unused stage theme Incomplete Plot!! After the battle between two heroines, the victor proceeds onwards into the heart of Mugenkan, where they will meet the sleeping terror, Yuuka Kazami...Title: Touhou Lotus Love & Incomplete Plot RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Lotus Love/Incomplete PlotOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 4: Lotus Land StoryAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: mirror (xilu4)Source: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2903397(Special thanks to mirror (xilu4) for creating this wonderful fanart of PC-98 Yuuka and current Yuuka.)My note:Whoops, looks like I technically made 60 songs now! Nah, the true 60th composition will arrive soon when it is released... But anyways, this music was pretty hard to do. There were so many arpeggios and a lot balancing out instruments, but in the end the results just ended up the same. I still need to work on not overcompressing my music... I originally wanted to compose Lotus Love by itself, but I felt as the original music was a bit short, so I added in Incomplete Plot. It took me a lot of time to create this composition, and after listening to it, it really felt powerful. When the loud part comes, it feels like as if Yuuka is awakening... But other than that the composition went well. Let me know if there are some minimal mistakes.Up next, well if you listened to the hint music at the end, you obviously know who’s theme is coming in next. After all, it’s the true 60th composition. Stay tuned. Thank you for listening, stay safe, and take it easy.(What? 2 dislikes already? To the users who disliked it, any reason why?)
Touhou Power of Darkness Remix (Meiras Theme) MarioGm734 2020-05-23 | The next Touhou PC-98 GarageBand composition comes from Story of Eastern Wonderland’s Stage 2 boss, Power of Darkness, Meira’s Theme!!

We need more fanart of her...)My note:I think that’s enough Japanese flair for one day. This might be the last one... maybe...? Anyways, it was a tough composition to make. It’s another repetitive theme, so I had to improvise with this song. I had some problems with the octave change because sometimes it doesn’t sound good when some instruments are either playing too high or low. It was also hard to determine the notes from the arpeggio, so I tried to make one up. Other than that, the composition was beautiful. I really love all the flairs in this song. If there are any other minimal mistakes, let me know.That’s it for now. I’m almost at 60 songs, and the next two songs will be revealed once I release them. But for right now, I want to focus on remaking some of my old, previous compositions that need more tlc and polish. Though I should ask you guys too: which previous Touhou PC-98 composition would you like for me to improve on?That is all. Thank you for listening, and stay safe out there!

There wasn’t enough PC-98 Reimu fanart out there, so this will have to suffice.)My note:Wow, what a major change compared to the one I made a while back. I deleted the original out of embarrassment for butchering the song... Anyways, I changed it up with more extension, Japanese flair, hint music, and better instrumentation. I’m proud of this one to be honest. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.Next up is Meira’s theme: Power of Darkness. I’m currently composing it right now, so be sure to stay tuned for it. Might be in late May depending on how much effort I put into it. Remember, stay safe everyone. Take it easy, and have an amazing day!

But, special thanks to the artist who made this wonderful fanart of Shinki. Also, we need more Shinki fanart lol.)My note:Another long composition... I apologize I went overboard again... Honestly, this stage theme is too short, so I wanted to expand it a bit more. This composition has a lot of intense moments and a lot of obvious hint music, so be sure to listen. If there are any other minimal mistakes, let me know.I am aware that there are a lot of things happening around the world, but I want to keep making more Touhou PC-98 music for you guys. Please stay safe everyone, and take it easy. Let me know if you got some more Touhou PC-98 music to request. Not sure how many are left, but I’ll continue to do my best with them.
Touhou The Positive and Negative Remix (SinGyokus Theme) MarioGm734 2020-02-18 | Today’s Touhou PC-98 composition comes from the very first stage boss from Highly Responsive to Prayers, The Positive and Negative, SinGyoku’s theme! SinGyoku is a gatekeeper guarding a gate near the Hakurei Shrine that leads two paths to Makai and Hell. SinGyoku has 3 forms: the yin-yang orb, a male priest, and a female priestess.Title: Touhou The Positive and Negative Remix (SinGyoku’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Yin-Yang ~ The Positive and NegativeOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers/Akyuu’s Untouched Source Vol. 5 Track 03All Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: baba seimaijoSource: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2484791My note:(Special thanks to the artist baba seimaijo for the wonderful fanart of SinGyoku. Once again, still not enough fanart for this character so this will have to suffice.)It seems the Tsukumo Sisters and Raiko want their instruments back. I added some Japanese flair to this song, so you might hear some taiko drums and such. Though, did I put too much Japanese flair...? Anyways, I thought it was a nice approach since this song needs more love. Since there is no biwa instrument in GarageBand, I used another alternative, the Chinese pipa. The two instruments kinda sound similar in some ways... The rest of this composition went well. Though if there are minimal mistakes, let me know.The song’s a bit repetitive but adding some good flair can make a song sound beautiful. Hope you enjoyed this one, and there will be more PC-98 compositions to come! Of course, requests are always necessary too!Yikes, a dislike. To the user, any reason why you did it?
Seihou Vivits Theme Medley Remix MarioGm734 2019-12-30 | Back at it again. Today’s composition is a song not from Touhou, but another bullet hell shooter series, Seihou. It is the final boss from stage 6, Vivit’s theme. Of course, all of her themes are playing in this composition. After VIVIT defeats her master Erich in a trial, VIVIT was tasked to save Erich’s daughter, Vivit, who was trapped in the “Other Dimension” due to the disastrous accident of cactus energy. The two seem very alike.Title: Seihou Vivit’s Theme Medley RemixMusic arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Dream Machine ~ Innocent Power/Fantasy Science ~ Doll’s Phantom/Girl’s Divinity ~ Pandora’s BoxOriginal music composed by: ZUNSource: Seihou Shuusou Gyoku/Changeability of Strange Dream Track 10All Original Seihou series, games, music, characters, and art all belong to Amusement Makers, Shunsatsu sare do?, and ZUN.Fan-art picture by: beruchin (incentive)2nd picture: michiru (pink)Source: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3259112nd Source: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=528155My note:(Special thanks to the artists beruchin and michiru for making fanart of VIVIT and Vivit. There really isn’t that much fanart of the Seihou series... it’s kind of a bummer and unfortunate that I have to use the same pictures that others uses... oh well.)What an incredible remix this is. The moment I composed this song, I was so blown away with it. A lot effort was put into this one. Fair warning, it’s pretty long... Anyways, for the second song, I tried to incorporate elements from the original and Changeability’s version. It was a nice touch. As for the final, I used ZUN’s arrangement as it had some few flairs. There were definitely a lot of trouble with me dealing with arpeggios, and a bunch of wrong notes that didn’t seem to fit in. I did as best as I could, and the results were simply incredible. Also, Vivit’s theme needed some more attention as she has less fanart and remixes, so I gave it some love. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.A lot of you might be requesting for Seihou music, but for now, I want to focus on making more Touhou PC-98 songs and other things too. If you got any you want to request, let me know!Well that’s all for today! I really hope you enjoyed this wonderful Seihou composition! Take it easy, and have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year’s!Update: Timestamps. Here you go.0:00 (Dream Machine ~ Innocent Power)2:01 (Illusory Science ~ Doll’s Phantom)5:50 (Girl’s Divinity ~ Pandora’s Box)9:54 (Gentle Finale (Herselves))

This is one of the unused songs from Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, Phantasmagoria!

Oh and Akyuu is there too...)I wanted to release this on July, but I didn’t have any time for it due to the fact that I spent my summer going out of town and building a new PC of my own. And since 3 months, school was right around the corner and I needed some preparations to plan out my future graduation. So here we are, finally got it finished, and it’s a spectacular composition. This song needed more attention, since there are hardly any remixes of it... If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.And I already reached 400 subscribers during my absence? You guys really motivate me a lot. I’m not going to do anything special this time, but I’ll try to keep adding more PC-98 songs and some bonuses along the way. Who knows, maybe I’ll might consider doing one popular Touhou Windows era composition by chronological order... But anyhow, thank you for your long awaited patience. I’m glad that I’m able to keep this channel growing, even if my compositions are underrated. Thank you for all of your support and for listening to my compositions so far! Take it easy!

After her resurrection, she engaged a fierce battle with the heroine...Title: Touhou Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator Remix (Miko’s Theme)Music arranged by: me (MarioGm734)Original Title: Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator Original music composed by: ZUNSource: Touhou 13: Ten DesiresAll Original Touhou series, games, music, books, and art all belong to Team Shanghai Alice/ZUN.Fan-art picture by: e.o.Source: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2717224My note:(Special thanks to e.o. for the wonderful fan art of Miko.)Wow. I spent so many weeks trying to improve this composition and I was running out of ideas on making this music creative with the guitar solo and such. The piece was kind of easy, but trying to improvise and creating a decent remix was pretty difficult. But somehow, I managed to pull through and the composition was definitely phenomenal. In case if you’re wondering what was the third instrument that was playing at the beginning of the melody along with the piano and the flute was an erhu. Yes, being creative is awesome. If there are any other minimal mistakes, please let me know.A huge, special thanks to Umbra the SHDW for choosing this song. It was an amazing choice, and I know that you’re anticipating for this song. I appreciate your patience, and I’m happy to share my composition to you. (Also, I know it is VERY late but, a late happy birthday to you. I wish you all the best!)One more composition to go! You already know who’s coming in last. I’m sure you’d be dancing crazy with the final song...Damn. Three dislikes. Seriously? To the users who disliked it, any reason why?

Fires Of Hokkai is a beautiful song. The way how this song portrays, especially the heartbeat, shows that someone is here, someone is trapped, and someone needs to be free...Anyways, out of all the compositions in my GarageBand music, this one had the biggest file size due to the fact that I added the heartbeat sound effect. Although, this composition was not too bad at all. It is such a beautiful music. If there are any minimal mistakes, let me know.A huge, special thanks to TheHyperDeath for choosing this song. It was a splendid choice, and I am happy to compose such a beautiful music.Only two down to go! Now’s the time to get working on the Shoutoku Prince’s music theme... In which it will come out late on May as well...

AGHHH!! ...I mean, sheesh the piano part really caught me off guard. This is probably one of the hardest compositions I’ve ever done. Though, there are other Touhou songs that do have difficult piano parts... But sheesh, I didn’t think it would be that tough to play... Anyways, the rest of this composition is pretty much easygoing since the theme is kinda like you’re relaxing on a cafe... Until you reach the piano part. If there are any other minimal mistakes, let me know.A huge, special thanks to Victor King for choosing this song. I honestly had a difficult time figuring out the piano part, but it was worth the challenge and I’m glad that I made such a wonderful composition!One down, three to go! Next up is Fires Of Hokkai! I’m still working on that at the moment, so it might release in late April!
