Crazy how I've never heard of Seihou Project until now. I'll never stop learning weird things about this franchise
You're not the only one, given the series is so consistently forgotten that the only thing people remember about it is them having Reimu, Marisa and later Yuuka cameos. Amazingly, the series had brief revivals on April Fools recently with a joke game called VIVIT-99, where you have to outlast 98 AI-controlled opponents playing the same stage (and I do mean the same stage, there's only one that infinitely loops until you win or lose), a game where you control a stage boss trying to shoot the series player characters and an update to VIVIT-99 called VIVIT-99r that lets you play real PVP, sending extra bullets by grazing (but still only one stage and song, the only thing keeping it from being a full game)
I always remember Seihou exist
I’ve heard of seihou but have never even considered getting into it being that the character design is so bland that it almost feels AI generated when looking at it
@@patricklewis9787L taste
Erich and Muse >>>>> Every touhou boss that isn't called Yumemi
"Theme of Eastern Story" Is basically gensokyo theme.
Appears in menu themes.
And appears in The extra stage from seihou project.
The extra stage Is gensokyo....
So, yes.
"Theme of Eastern Story" Is basically gensokyo theme.
"Here's a small portion in Benben's Theme."
yatsuhashi is crying her eyes out rn
I wonder if anyone has made a compilation of every time this theme appears in touhou songs
The Touhou Wiki has a list but I think that’s it
if you're interested, Doreki Takase made one about it. Just look up his video about Theme of Eastern Story and skip to the 4th minute, and there it is, I guess
@@imperatorhanif5909 wow you are right, thanks
There is a CZcams playlist with (almost?) every single song from Touhou that somehow includes Theme of Eastern Story somewhere inside of each song
The playlist is named "All Theme of Eastern Story"

In short, Theme of Eastern Story was composed during the development of HRtP but not used in the game, but the little pieces of the musics can be heard in Touhou 4 and 5 boot up screen
no, toes can "somewhat" be heard in lls and ms, BUT the time it appeared first is silk road alice, shuusou gyoku's extra theme, it wasn't on HRTP for god sakes
@@ShaffySwitcher I did say the music not used in the game, didn't I?
@@HyperVanilo the music wasn't made during the developent of hrtp

"A part of the theme made its first appearance in 1998, but it's unknown just when it was actually composed (or if there even was a full rendition of it prior to Akyu's Untouched Score that ZUN referenced for its appearances)." - Touhou wiki
@@supreme_xenon refer to my first comment
0:29 AND Yatsuhashi's theme too-
Oh yeah also if you slow down the Pause sound effect, it's actually the speed up version of Theme of Eastern Story's leitmotif.
yatsuhashi who?
(its a meme that she is forgotten)
@@heiwuniao7550 yes Ik but all memes aside Not-Ben Ben(Yatsuhashi)'s name is kinda easy to remember, either you favor her or call her Yatsu like me.
@@heiwuniao7550 Which is not even a good meme
@@flandrescarletdevil5844 Then there's what a friend of mine went with: "Who's Benben, the one that's not Yatsuhashi?"
This is like thorough analysis and study of great composers of western antiquity 😂😂😂
I love this, ZUN absolutely deserves this
Keeps up these vids, they are also great trivia and I'm learning lot about other themes as well
I think it also appears in the original version of "We Shall Die Together" during a short bit of the crazy solo. But it could also just be a similar melody, tbh I'm not sure.
I hear it too.
Its 4am in my country and I'm about to sleep but this is more entertaining
Weird to think that this theme went from barely being used in any game to being used in every touhou game
Someone else mentioned this in the comments but Lunatic Kingdom uses it a ton lol
I heard of touhou 4 and 5 having it, but i never understood where. It always seemed to talk about the title, but it wasn't there
Yeah I’d always read that on the Wiki and didn’t get what it meant until a few months ago
We also hear this theme in IN Stage 4 which is the stage where either Reimu or Marisa appears as the boss
Just past 0000 of the Lunar New Year and I am happy to have an encore here. Nice dig!
I haven't even noticed that this theme was present in some of these games! Zun manages to change it enough to sound different and new!
Nice job, Megapig. Very well researched and great presentation.
This is gonna be a good answer
Bro how many Touhou notifications do you usually get per day??
@@eerfandz over 100 because reasons
@@unfunnymeiling2315 wth- 💀
@@eerfandz don’t question ke
Who knew that the Windows Era started with a boot up. This is why I love boot up jingles before starting a video game. They're awesome.
Fun fact: he’s actually wrong. There were already a unused version for “Theme of eastern story” way back to touhou 1.
Are you referring to the theory that ZUN composed the song before Touhou 4, or are you talking about the version included with Akyuu’s Untouched Score (which I do talk about)?
this was an amazing video
thank you🔥
i was listening to a song, and it had this riff and I knew i heard it somewhere, thanks for the explanation
Theme of Easter story - the franchise.
The gensokyo the gods loved - gensokyo’s anthem
Long story short, theme of eastern story is almost everywhere also in the very first game
one of the best motifs of all time
You should've mentioned the stage 4 theme in IN. To me it's the best of the leitmotif
Theme of eastern story is everywhere...
The first time I heard it was touhou 15...
Menu theme
Stage 4 theme
Stage 5 theme
And Junkos theme
I wonder how much music eastern story is in?
Some part of the song is somewhat similar to Retribution for The Eternal Night (which is probably like a newer version of Theme of Eastern Story) which is interesting. Also Tengu's Notebook Mysterious Note is also quite the same but slower and a bit different
It's also in Gensokyo Millennium, in the part right before the intro ends.
Incredible how it didnt appear in story of eastern wonderland with so similar names
I learned a lot from this fandom
when i hear that part of
entrusting this world to Idols
i got shocked because i realized that was leimotif
The original version of a sacred lot and angel's legend from touhou 1 kinda sound like it, also eternal shrine maiden a little.
and the title theme of touhou 2 MIDI version has a part like it
I'm probably just dumb lol
My favourite touhou music is god slash. Best one imo
I know this is unrelated to the video but I have a touhou theory I want to spread around my theory is that gensokyo will be destroyed from the barrier getting destroyed we already know that the barrier can be destroyed if it is hit with enough spiritual power we also know that people can train to increase their spiritual power so all someone would have to do is just get strong enough either by training or getting enough powerful magical artifacts and then break the barrier they can train for as long as they want because they can become a hermit so they could live forever and therefore train forever and then become so ridiculously strong that no one could stop them from breaking the barrier I also think that in touhou if you're stronger than someone you probably can resist there abilities for example the strongest character in touhou is hecatia and her only ability is to have three bodies while on the other hand characters like yukari has the much more powerful boundary manipulation ability but she would still lose to hecatia because hecatia is stronger than her so using that same principle hypothetically a human could become strong enough to destroyed the barrier and resist anyone who opposes them abilities even if the event of a normal human getting that strong is unlikely given enough time it will happen because that's his how statistics work as long as there's a non-zero possibility for something happening given an infinite period of time it will happen so yeah that's my theory and if you find it interesting I'd like you to spread it around but make sure the credit me okay
Could you or Wookywok please upload the outro theme to CZcams or elsewhere?
Still waiting for Saihou Project and Nanpo Project
OMG MOST TOUHOU TITLE THEMES HAVE THAT SOUND
! KDKDMMDKDKXKXKKXKF
There are 2 other touhou 4 songs that sound like it
Those who live in illusions and Cute Devil ~ Innocence
Noice vids
I just call it the Touhou lick.
