Hello everybody!
My favorite track.
I don't know why, but the feeling this track gives me is strange. It's a combination between mysterious and seriousness maybe?
Whatever it is, I love several aspects of this track. From the melody, rhythm, to the mix that ZUN did here.
Well, in some part it was a bit complicated to edit the pianos and the bass, there are little details in the piano that are easy to miss, but the result is not bad at all.
There also seems to be a new combination of percussions that I didn't really expect, and they combine quite well.
Anyway, enjoy!

[@plazzap6499]

also my favorite theme in the game. the melody is very fun and playful i think you transcribed it really well

[@KarlZuniga]

thank you

[@kag2576]

Really did a good job capturing this theme's bouncy energy

[@theskoomacat7849]

Wow the lead synth sound really human speech-like in this one, I love it so much! Great work :)

[@TouhouMusicFan]

The transcription is very well done. It's also nice to see the video, it's pretty, the way Nitori appears is nice, it looks like she's wearing her camouflage. By the way, it was a big surprise to see ZUN redo a character portrait. I really like this theme, it's probably the second or third favorite for me. The theme gives me a sneaky, serious and elegant feeling, with some intense parts.
I really like that a lot of the parts have this emphasis on the bass, and it makes the music sound sneaky, which is well suited to the game and the title of the theme. The strings in zigzag or when accompanying the piano also please me. The guitar in the background acts cool too, it makes some sections more serious and distinct from others. And when the theme switches from the serious sections to the serene and elegant piano-played sections... it's really shocking how beautiful it sounds.

[@KarlZuniga]

Oh, which theme is in first place for you?

[@TouhouMusicFan]

@@KarlZuniga It's "The Hundredth Black Market". The nostalgia that the theme passes hits me hard.
What's strange about this is that the theme has some parts similar to stage 5 and boss 5 (from TH18), and these themes don't convince me that much, and for many, they are considered nostalgic themes, and I didn't feel that much, although I analyzed the themes and recognize that in theory I see that I should have felt it.
This is probably the order of how I liked the themes from TH18.5: stages 3 > stages 2 > title > bosses 1 > bosses 2 > stages 1.

Hmm, catchy and eclectic. Say, can I have the permission to have that midi. I'm making a Music Randomizer mod full of 2hu midis form my Doom source port

Of course. Just try to provide credit if possible, it's always appreciated

Do you mind if I use these as a guide for another strings project?

Thank you very much!
Don't worry, you can use it without any problem
