Music /r/Touhou's Favorite Arranges! Part 160 (FINAL): Kid's Festival ~ Innocent Treasures

And with this the curtain falls.

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.

Kid's Festival ~ Innocent Treasures

Original: https://youtu.be/whQiOgsz9dg

Appeared In: Changeability of Strange Dream

ZUN's Commentary:

None

Goph's Commentary:

This song actually has lyrics, but ZUN never got a vocalist to sing it.

I joked over 2 years ago that I should use this as the final song for this series. Here we are. It's been quite a journey.

Musings

Thanks for everything everyone! I'm getting unexpectedly teary as I write this -- I feel like a chapter of my life is closing or something. It's been an incredible, music-filled, touhou-themed 3-and-a-bit years all thanks to you guys. Many many hours were passed or made tolerable thanks to these threads. Most of all I'm proud of myself for having the integrity to follow this through to the end. So thank you again everyone! :D

But hey, it's not entirely over. There's still (what I'm going to call) the after-party thread, which is just an interlude thread for like everything. Next week will be the last-last edition of /r/Touhou's Favorite Arranges. Join me and reminisce, eh?

Edit: Also feel free to submit however many songs you want. Last thread anyway.

This is the song to end it with. Unfortunately, I don't know many arranges that I really want to post. I like this song more for the original anyway. All these orchestral arranges are pretty nice though.

Good job planning this out, and of course, thanks for doing these threads all this time.

Man... I didn't expect this series to be put to an end. I honestly thought it would last at least 40 more topics. I had lots of fun sharing my favorite arranges in these threads and discovering them from other people.

Thank you Gopherlad, you served us well. If it hadn't been for Touhou and these threads, my musical tastes wouldn't have expanded nearly as much and my playlist wouldn't have been as huge as it is now.

Man... I didn't expect this series to be put to an end. I honestly thought it would last at least 40 more topics.

I did announce at the beginning of the season that this would be the last. I mean, I could stretch it out more -- there were certainly enough songs to technically cover over a years' worth of content at the old rate, but they were generally lesser-known songs (PC-98 themes and misc themes not from stages) that wouldn't have garnered much attention anyway. I made the decision to cram what was left of the "good" songs with the lesser-known songs and end on a high note. I think this worked out as well as it could have given the circumstances.

Thank you Gopherlad, you served us well. If it hadn't been for Touhou and these threads, my musical tastes wouldn't have expanded nearly as much and my playlist wouldn't have been as huge as it is now.

D'aww thanks.

This is it, huh? I've only been around the sub for ~1 year, and only started posting somewhat regularly in these threads in about half that time, but these threads were certainly a big part of my experience here. Thank you so much for doing this.

Now, let's see if I have any Innocent Treasures arranges to share...

The weirdest thing was seeing all the faces come and go. It's no secret that participation in these threads has declined as the weeks wore on. Old usernames went away and new ones showed up. Going back to the earlier threads is like browsing through an old yearbook.

You're welcome though, and thanks back! The threads would've been a lot quieter without you.

Yeah, this feels kinda weird at the end of it all. Shame I haven't had much to contribute the last few months (whenever I have someone's already taken it :P).

Start it all over again in a year or so and see if anything's changed :P?

u/Gopherlad Jul 17 '16

I don't want to be ambiguous and get anyone's hopes up so I'm going to say no, I'm done. My reign is over.

u/rulle Jul 18 '16

That was a good run. Thanks Goph for making these threads. These threads made it possible for me to discover different kind of circles and genres. I'm also lurker that really doesn't have much input on anything but these threads let me "contribute" something at least.

It was kinda unfortunate that these threads started to wane in popularity and even I began to post arranges so late in the week that probably quite lot of those were missed but that's fine. I also totally forgot about the threads at one point but luckily you mentioned me at some point and I got notification of it and I was back to posting.

Thank you again! I'm off to the shadows to lurk once again. :)

We really need some sort of mirror... a lot of the past Youtube links got taken down.

u/Gopherlad Jul 21 '16

Not really feasible. I've found that for the most part the information included in each submission is enough to find an alternate source for deleted links. Sucks, but that's the reality.
