Wait, so that "former hell of blood pools" Koishi mentioned in ULiL wasn't a one-off line? And it's related to the oil because "oil is the blood of the earth"? Talk about a long setup.
I like how everyone talks about oil as a "cursed liquid" and something that can bring great wealth but will bring great misfortune. Between AFiEU, WBaWC, and this, ZUN has really been getting to take potshots at issues in the real world.
Also that is a great reprise of the title theme.

The soundtrack comes from 東方剛欲異聞 ~ 水没した沈愁地獄 (Touhou Gouyoku Ibun ~ Submerged Hell of Sunken Sorrow), the 17.5th Touhou game. Instead of a fighting game, the game is a single-player beat-'em-up based around fighting enemies while collecting water to perform hyper attacks.

![VD Story Theme 1: Old Adam Bar
I really like the feel of this song, it fits the whole bouncy mischief time at the bar deal its name implies.
This was my first exposure to ZUNs album music, and it definitely got me hooked and interested in them! Do give them a listen if youre looking for something else to go with the style of the in-game Touhou tracks.

The soundtrack comes from 秘封ナイトメアダイアリー ~ Violet Detector, the 16.5th Touhou game. It is a spinoff of earlier games Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler with its camera system, but incorporates elements from Impossible Spell Card such as a shootdown win condition.

![SHoSS Murasas Theme: Captain Murasa
The Captain is here! And with a cool cape, too. Her theme also sounds more carefree crusing-y... which isnt really an adjective. Considering she busted a hole in the middle of the Sanzu River to get down to Hell, she really doesnt seem like shes going to let anything get in the way of the Murasa Cruise Boat™.

![UM Stage 4 Theme: The Obsolescent Industrial Remains
So this is the mine that the gems have been coming from. I like how a bunch of the enemies here are yin-yangs; not quite a 100% yin-yang rate like LoLK stage 4, but enough to show somethings up with them.
We dont talk about the Jumbo Indestructible Menacing Bully Orb, though. At least thats what I think it stands for.
Also, Im back! Okay so I was busy for maybe more than a few weeks and miiiiight have forgotten about this. Shotcut is way better than DaVinci Resolve, the file sizes are no longer ridiculously huge for doing the same thing. I went down from 800ish MB to 50 MB.

The soundtrack comes from 東方虹龍洞 ~ Unconnected Marketeers, the 18th Touhou game. Featuring Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, and Sanae, the game centers around Ability Cards that can be purchased over multiple playthroughs and equipped onto your character to grant various skills.

![SHoSS Joon and Shions Theme: Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers
To make up for not being a live version held at a concert, this song seems to linger more and add extra bits. Its more graceful and soft and sophisticated, unlike the high-energy AoCF one. Joon and Shion are really trying to redefine themselves as oil barons instead of concert thieves.
Also, strangely this is the only returning theme that didnt lose the English part of its title.

![UM Extra Stage Theme: The Great Fantastic Underground Network
This is definitely an interesting stage. Since you only buy one card in this stage, you essentially know which cards youre coming into this run with, which makes for a whole different experience than how youd sort of roll with what you got in the main game. Great atmosphere, too; I like how you get to visit the mines for real this time now that you conveniently got an oxygen tank card.
Then Tsukasa comes in no longer trying to act nice. Die like the pitiful human you are!

![SHoSS Kogasas Theme: Beware the Umbrella Left There Forever
Kogasas standing animation is cute! Shes standing on one leg, just like the umbrella.
Im interested in how everyone seems to have spinning animations, though. Are Kogasa and Yuugi going to be playable in the full game?
Or... is it going to be the traditional 10 playable characters, fight four randos, then fight two predetermined bosses thing that happens with every new engine so far?
2021/10/24 Edit: Oh.

![HSoB Sets Theme: Tyrant of the Scorching Sun ~ Violent General
In turning the forest into a desert, Set apparently mistook Marisas house for a treasure storehouse.
That aside, this manages to edge out the stage 6 boss theme as my favorite track in the game.
...With those fists, is Set their own stand?

![AoCF Marisas Theme: Love-Colored Master Spark
Honestly, I still find it really cool how ULiL and AoCF reached out to the community to compose some of its tracks. Like, imagine being pretty into a series, and making some cool remixes that people like, then suddenly the people behind the series go up to you and just go hey, wanna make a song that well put in the next game?. It must be the greatest feeling ever.
