I'm sure none of you expected this to be the next video in line (lies). As probably the most different game in the series, HRtP has always been deserving of a little attention.
Check Jynx's blog for a link to their Lotus Land Story remaster CD. Definitely worth the price, and it may encourage them to put more of their work up for sale.東方邂封魔録 ~ Re:The Story of Eastern WonderlandJesselejohn2014-04-03 | Recorded Sealing of a Demon, and...

Once again, Jynx delivers his/her remaster of one of the PC-98 games. This time, it's Story of Eastern Wonderland, aka the easiest final stage in the entire series.
Love for Mima aside, I'm personally more interested in the extra stage for this one...東方繪夢時空 ~ Re:The Phantasmagoria of Dim. DreamJesselejohn2013-04-01 | Lasers...lasers everywhere... Creator: Jynx Jynx's Blog: http://mugenri.blog.shinobi.jp The next in Jynx's lineup, the always-precious Phantasmagoria of Dimensional Dream. Rather than the full campaign mode, this April Fools' version seems to be a kind of boss-rush mode, where several of the characters assault you one after another. I'm curious as to what will replace the EX stage that he typically releases at Christmas time.東方懐幻想郷 ~ Re:Lotus Land Story - ExJesselejohn2012-12-25 | Merry Christmas to everyone, in what is quickly becoming an annual special on this channel.

ZUN: "I tried my best to give it an eastern feel... That would've been nice, but then it didn't really sound like a song for shooters, so I took it out.
The song itself was really close to the image that I originally had... But that means, the image that I had wasn't fit for an shooter in the first place. (laughs) But it's rather to my likings.
The image for the song I had in in mind was starting as easy listening and moving to jazz-fusion. There are lots of good Japanese-made jazz out there too (unless they try to mimic songs from foreign artists.)
On a side note, when I used this song as an Extra stage track, I couldn't dodge the mid-boss's attaacks. (^^; As I thought, there was a problem with the feeling. I can't dodge if there is no music."東方懐幻想郷 ~ Re:Lotus Land StoryJesselejohn2012-04-01 | Pursuit ~ Raspberry Trap The final stage of Touhou Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story, remixed and remastered.

Title: 東方の青い空
Original Midi Author: 藁い袋
Source: nm15195798
Instrumentation: Me
Original Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKBu9CCgSgY
ZUN: The song that plays during daytime endings. It definitely makes me think of shrines. Actually, this is the most shrine-maiden-ish song here, isn't it? See, doesn't this kind of song always play for shrines and shrine maidens in eroge? *g*
This is an often overlooked or forgotten song, possibly because it was originally so short. The midi that 藁い袋 created was much appreciated, but it had more of a "Player's Score" or "Bad Ending" kind of feeling than a Good Ending Theme. I tried to blend the depth and expansiveness of the midi with the serenity of the original but...I'm still not convinced that ended up happening ^^'
Also: ZUN, why are you basing your songs off of H-game soundtracks?...Now, Until the Moment You Die (Remastered Version 4)Jesselejohn2012-01-14 | Another arrange of Sariel's theme from the final boss battle of Highly Responsive to Prayers' Makai route: いざ、倒れ逝くその時まで Artist: INO Source: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16619537 Original Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzt87vI6YT0
The sudden Sariel arranges seem to go on forever. Perhaps they will. Perhaps this shall be your new reality, continuing eternally from Now, Until the Moment You Die... *shot* In all honesty, this is the last one for now, though I'm disappointed it is. Even after four versions, none of them seem to match the climactic intensity that so distinguished the original. Or maybe I'm just impossible to please sometimes.
The lack of Sariel pictures has really left me unprepared for this sudden outbreak of arranges. And still I don't have an arrange that fits the best image I've found. How depressing...Now, Until the Moment You Die (Remastered Version 2)Jesselejohn2012-01-09 | The theme of Sariel, Angel of Death and final boss of Highly Responsive to Prayers' Makai route: いざ、倒れ逝くその時まで Artist: FD Source: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16239605 Original Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzt87vI6YT0
ZUN: I kind of like this song. The stage 3 boss is kind of strong. The song has the same feel to it. She may look strong, but the song gives you the feeling you'll definitely win(?)
It's strange that there's a Western-style mansion in the middle of a deserted forest to begin with. The girl who lived there hardly ever came into town.

Well, since the girl looks like she did when she was young...Love-Coloured Master Spark (Orchestral Remix)Jesselejohn2011-10-09 | Marisa's theme from Imperishable Night, which is itself a remix of her first theme from Story of Eastern Wonderland: 恋色マスタースパーク

When I'm making up characters, I'll write down a bunch on paper, and just choose some. This character has a pretty loli feel about her, but... The song is unusually cool. I said this before, but I'm not that good at making cute songs. This song turned out the same way... A cuter song would have been nice for this character...
Aahhhh, all the songs feel kind of half-assed~ (It's cool, but it's got kind of girly instrumentation in it... ) Oh, well, it's okay.
I guess I like this kind of song, after all.Vanishing Dream ~ Lost Dream (Remastered Version 2)Jesselejohn2011-10-08 | Kana Anaberal's theme from Touhou Yumejikuu ~ Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream
