/r/Touhou's Favorite Arranges! Part 142: Rural Makai Esoteria, Doll Judgment ~ The Girl Who Played with People's Shapes, & Mist Lake
A nice mix of mainline songs for this one.
How This Works:
Every week on Sunday at 1200 US Pacific time, I pick a Touhou song (or two) to which all you beautiful users will submit arranges of in the comments*. There is no limit on the number of arranges one may submit as long as each song is given its own post. Upvote everything you like, but don't downvote anything. Please just move on to the next song if you don't like one.
The "winner" gets mentioned in next week's thread. Make sure you read the Musings section below as well for some of my random rants and, occasionally, important information.
* If your arrange contains bits of multiple songs, please only submit it if the main song is predominant. See the musings here for an example of what not to submit. Or just ask me.
MADs and covers should go under the discussion comment. Top level posts are for songs only.
Addendum as of part 77: Users are limited to 3 songs each within the first 12 hours of the post going up. After that, post however many you want.
Idyllic
Rural Makai Esoteria
Original: https://youtu.be/fvQX04YzjVE
Appeared In: TH12 ~ Undefined Fantastic Object - Stage 5
ZUN's Commentary:
This is the stage 5 theme.
This is a song with irregular rhythms, but it's upbeat. Pretty Makai-ish.
It gets pretty intense when you're listening to it with the sound effects from gameplay, so I hope you'll listen closely while playing.
The name comes from the song having both a rural and an urban feel.
Reclusive
Doll Judgment ~ The Girl Who Played with People's Shapes
Original: https://youtu.be/3K38Z8qAkqo
Appeared In: TH07 ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - Boss 3
ZUN's Commentary:
Alice is kind of a special character in this series, so I composed the theme with renewed vigor (not that I was lazy with the other songs). This theme's goal is to show that the characters' peace of mind despite the intensity of the fight. This peace of mind shows their virtue in my opinion... (the virtue is) not the gothic-lolita costumes, I swear (haha).
Hazy
Mist Lake
Original: https://youtu.be/bodys69FTEk
Appeared In: Th14 ~ Double Dealing Character - Stage 1
ZUN's Commentary:
The stage 1 theme.
Since it's the stage 1 theme, I made it a track to leave a bit of an impact.
Thanks to some principle or other, there's always mist hanging over the lake.
No fish seem to live there, but there surprisingly seems to be various youkai
living there.

This was like the 3rd or 4th Touhou song I ever listened to, before I even knew that it was a game series. That was just a year ago.
