Magical Astronomy - The Far Side of the Moon (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2023-12-10 | i'm going to be honest, this is my favorite song, period. i felt i had to do it honor by giving it a good cover. i hope you'll feel the same wonder from this that i do when i listen to the original.the fact that it changes tempo 4 times (by my count) did not make this easy. i also had to redo the percussion since it didn't translate to the pc-98 sound well, so apologies if it sounds a bit off, i'm no professional.Cover by Zagafurtouhou, magical astronomy, and the original "The Far Side of the Moon" by ZUNmaribel and renko artwork by FocasLens (since there is no clean .png art of them from the games or elsewhere, i settled on fan art most people might know)
Cemetery of Onbashira ~ Grave of Being (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-10-11 | not much to say about this one. short, sweet, and very intense sounding.so if we successfully make a nuclear fusion reactor, will the one kanako made disappear? these question and more keep me up at night.BG art, characters, and music by ZUNcharacter art by Twilight FrontierCover by Zagafur
Shrine at the Foot of the Mountain (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-09-18 | so what do you think of sanae's hairstyle that started in LOLK? personally i think its growing on me.honestly the beauty of this song is its simplicity, and i think that applies to this cover too. it definitely fits the vibe of resting after a hike up a mountain, (i should know, ive done some short hiking on mountains myself lol)original music, characters, and art by ZUNcover by Zagafur
The Strange Everyday Life of the Flying Shrine Maiden (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-06-19 | happy birthday to me!the somewhat melancholic feel of dolls in pseudo paradise always intrigued me, so i tried my best to recreate it here (i dont think i fully translated the feeling though, but i dont think anyone could). hopefully you never find yourself in a strange place with 7 other people while listening to this. but if you, pray that you are the only one thats a different gender than everyone else. then youll just stop being human.Cover by ZagafurOriginal Music and Character Art by ZUNBG Art by Twilight Frontier
Illusory Science ~ Dolls Phantom (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-03-31 | the seihou tracks put into ZUN's cds always caught my attention, so i thought id take a crack at it.well this one was interesting. not the music, but the video. since i dont really know much about seihou, i chose to make the video like this. since it defaults to 60 fps, my computer did not like rendering and uploading this lol. thats a mistake i wont make in the future.Original music by ZUNCover by Zagafur
Fires of Hokkai (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-03-11 | do i have a thing for stage 6 themes? probably.this one was a lot easier compared to my last video. maybe its getting back into what i know best. in any case this is the lucky song i finished next. im also glad i double checked the music before i set up the video, since a small oversight would have led to the drums not playing correctly lol.Cover by ZagafurMusic, Characters, and Art by ZUN
Tengus Notebook ~ Mysterious Note (Pokémon BW Cover) Zagafur 2024-02-29 | does anyone else think about the "soft power" aya can truly wield? its kind of scary.ill admit, this one was not easy, but i enjoy a challenge. i have both pokemon black and pokemon black 2 cartridges, and a 3ds i dumped them to. the instruments weren't easy to find, since the way the are labeled is like looking at backend code where all the variables are inside jokes. i hope none of you ever have to go through the tediousness of sorting through 25 different files just to find the right flavor of guitar.Touhou, Art, and Characters by ZUNCover by Zagafur
Trojan Asteroid Jungle (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-01-30 | i quite like the vibes of trojan green asteroid, so i thought i'd give this song a try. not to mention i don't hear many people talk about the album. also the second i found this font i had to put it in, since it fits the settings of the torifune. if we ever become truly spacefaring, do you think we'll make a ship/station like it?Cover by ZagafurTouhou, BG Art, characters, and original music by ZUNCharacter Art by FocasLens
Passing on Through the Dendera Fields in the Night (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2024-01-01 | how fitting that my first upload of the year is the song the sealing club first appears in.despite magical astronomy holding my favorite song, my favorite album from ZUN's cds is ghostly field club. the atmosphere in these songs is so unique that i love it.also this song has so many translated names holy hell. wandering about a ghostly field in the night, evening dies on dendera fields, dying in the dendera fields in the night, etc. my guess is this was before the touhou community got more agreed upon translations.Cover by ZagafurOriginal song and art by ZUN
The Exaggerated Castle Keep (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2023-12-20 | in my opinion, ZUN knocks it out of the park when he makes more... laid back, less intense music.there is no way i was going to be able to get that warbling sound in the beginning part translated to pc-98 sounds, so apologies if you were expecting that. (also touhou 14 is my favorite mainline game in the series.)Cover by ZagafurBG Art, characters, and original music by ZUNShinmyoumaru art by Moe Harukawa
Mario Kart DS - Rainbow Road (Pokemon BW2 Remix) Zagafur 2023-11-29 | mario kart ds was one of my favorite games as a kid, so i thought i'd give its version of rainbow road (which is underrated in my opinion) some love. yes i did also remix the final lap sound because i could.this one was a bit of a pain to work with, since certain instruments from BW2 freak out when playing a longer note. luckily i was able to find a workaround, even if it was a bit convoluted.also i did boot up my old copy to make that emblem and play multiple runs of rainbow road to get just the right screenshot for this video, it was annoying.
The Path to Yomi Where None Turn Back (PC-98 Cover) Zagafur 2023-11-23 | All in all, this is rather simple. I really enjoyed this track in Touhou 19 and wondered what it would sound like if played on a PC-98's sound chip (A Yamaha YM2608, for anyone who didnt know). The final product isnt the best in the world, but i'm proud of it regardless.Cover by ZagafurOriginal Music, Characters, and Art by ZUN
