- This is Raiko Horikawa's theme from Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character
Holy crap, a thunder god! ... wait, it's just a plain old taiko drum.
I didn't really like Raiko's theme at first, but it's really grown on me. Especially the part that plays at 1:13, and that drum solo... s'pretty cool for a not-so-vengeful drum youkai.

@Unknown Anonymous why hello there
@RandomPerson295 pencil youkai girl doesn't exist, it can't possibly hurt you
As a kid from the back of the class, I do this everyday
That rare moment in a Touhou song where the only thing you hear is percussion.
Precise Calibre fires of hokkai
Piano is also a percussion instrument, just thought I'd point that out.
ehhh that hardly counts
More specifically, percussion that doesn't involve notes.

It's weird seeing a Touhou without a hat, horns, bow, ears, glasses, or other head accessory.

+Parker Baird Well, there is Yuuka.

Alexandre Villefranche Sagume at least has something going on with her hair
Raiko has a surprisingly modern appearance: a skirt, tie, and jacket covering a collared shirt are a fashion that suggests a very active, independent lifestyle; one that is expected of a Youkai wielding octagonal drums. It is a stark contrast from the dresses and nightgowns worn by most characters in the series. Joyous, and yet energetically rebellious. I like it. I like it a lot.
Also she doesn't have any Headwear. You can't be more rebellious as a touhou character.
iirc she's from the outside world after all
@@mrrp405 She's not exactly from the outside, she's more like absorbing the magic of the outside.
Raiko is one of the Touhou character that i like based of the design after Keiki and Mokou. Sadly ZUN have that habit to create a character and then never show it again :(
Aronnecroman Well she technically currently *is* a drum from the outside world, she had to repossess a new body. I imagine her appearance changed in that case.
I bet ZUN had a lot of fun making this theme.
You think
600-th like (Ok, forgive me)
Yeah cause it slaps
as always lol
ZUN really said "Ah I know how much you hate curvy lasers, so I added curvy lightning instead!"

"Raiko Horikawa's theme.
I wanted to make the song feature drums prominently, but
in the end I just didn't have the courage. In terms of the game's image.
The drums play a main part for a short interlude section of the song.
As a side note, her shoes are probably made so she can swing her feet
to hit the bass drum." - ZUN, 2013
that drum solo is literally an eargasm
I agree
Fun Fact:
Raiko, along with the Tsukumos, despite formerly being old instruments, they are newborn youkais, meaning they are the youngest youkai yet created by ZUN.
What’s the word I’m thinking of? I swear it’s on the tip of my tongue.
It starts with an L and means young.
@@sakuyaizayoi3225 Lolita. And you’re thinking of the lewd content that’s out there of them and how wrong it is as a result aren’t you?
@@tonywinters724 N..no! But thank you for the answer, at least.
@@tonywinters724 you mean loli.
Lolita is some kind of outfit.
@@captaintsubasa7430 I know. I was trying to soften the blow for our knife maiden here, because that word spikes her nerves with irritation. (She’s very defensive of Remilia and Flandre being called that, and she’s not afraid to kill those who besmirch their names. So think about that. Unless you want to be made into a fleshy knife block)
People keep talking about how Raiko looks like a colorswap of Yuuka, but when you look at her character - her personality is kind of in opposition to Yuuka as well.
Also... one's an ancient youkai of nature, the other's a newborn youkai of a man-made object...
basically a foil
In fact, Raiko is a really kind character and only wants to share her music
Raiko just wants to drop her mixtape
She only want to create a tsuyugokami paradise
Yuuka's fanon as a sadist and Raiko's a masochist because drums are made to be beaten
rose are red, cherry plum
is this girl, a sexy taiko drum?

@Ashton Hundt sakuya has multiple themes so that could be why.
The drums she uses in her fight make me glad that ZUN is getting more creative with these boss fights. Can't wait to see what he does next.
Well, "next" turned out to be throwing moons at people...
2 years later, we have 2 final bosses who look almost exactly the same in a row :)
And an extra stage boss who is... also the final boss.
AkaTrios yes but the fight utself felt really unique especially the extra bosses
Look isnt that important guys

@@rafaelvillarroel3741 how about bass boosted on a non-earrape level?
You can change settings in equalizer of your audio device to make this song bassboosted.
This theme has grown on me to the point where I hardly go a day without giving it a listen.
I think I could seriously listen to it all day without getting tired of it.
Same, like.
I've *ADMITTEDLY* NEVER ONCE EVER played a SINGLE 2hu/Touhou game, as blasphemous as that may be, and having only really, *TRULY* ever heard of 2hu this past year, and Raiko and her (*INDESCRIBABLY FANTASTIC!*) theme song even *LATER* than I heard about the *ENTIRE* 2hu franchise, I've *seriously* listened to this song *EVERY* SINGLE DAY since first hearing it on like. *June 12th, 2018.*
And, I *STILL* feel the same, exact feelings I felt my *FIRST* time listening to "Primordial Beat ~ Pristine Beat":
"Pure, undiluted, *unadulterated H Y P E.* "
It's been 4 years, how's it hanging now?
@@stygandrinvictus7814 welcome back soldier
What Beyourself said
This might just be the best song in any of the Touhou Project games, not just from an artistic standpoint, but also from the standpoint of how it ties into the character it represents. Raiko is literally a deity of thunder and drums, hence why this song places so much emphasis on the percussion sections. Not only is the drum solo awesome, the build-up to it is also phenomenal. In short, ZUN is a musical and artistic genius, and this song is arguably his finest work overall.
She's not even a deity, she's just a tsukumogami - a drum that came to life through the power of the Miracle Mallet. (Of course, that power was finite and dangerous, so she had to switch her power source... hence her becoming a modern drumset.)
the drums are also reminiscent of the sound of thunder
Completely agree! I think he has more complex and iconic melodies in other themes, but this one has, imo, the best production.
Woah! I recognize you from kierio04's task video comments, lol. Never thought i'd see anyone from the mario kart community on touhou videos :P

Good, but Lyrica Live did it better.
I'm impressed with how ZUN made the purcussion in the background sound very stormy.
It's a shame that Raiko isn't as popular as some of the others. She has the most creative fight by far out of all of the Extra bosses, and the conversation she has with Marisa is pretty funny.
Oh, well...some people don't know quality when they see it, I guess.
RubyThePokemonMaster
People have really different preferance in many thing , some view character by personality , some view them by difficulty and some view them by creativity . Raiko is a character that doesnt have a lot of information in except by the fact of she being a youkai and being leader of the Primsriver band .This battle it is creative but wouldnt say the more creative one , touhou has many creative fighr taht consist of the character abilities like Sakuya knifves or Mamizou transform bullets .
many character have funny dialogue and taht wouldnt matter , you are talking aboyt a game with a lot of character so saying one is the best is a lie.
welp, time to beat extra with marisa just to see the conversation lol
I mean I don't think that she got a single line appearance since the fireworks show.
All the extra stage bosses marked me
Not popular? Almost 2 million views
"You're a drum are you not? How could you not want to be hit?"

Raiko is awesome. I love how she's dressed.
Raiko: Raikou! Come out and make a match with me!
Raikou runs in terror!!
+Philip Cheung
Seeing as the "ou" syllable in Japanese is pronounced "ō" (as in yōkai/youkai), the name of the Pokémon Raikou, which many people pronounce "Rye-koo", would technically be pronounced the same or similar as "Raiko".
And that's really cool.
She's just so damn stylish, isn't she?
It fits those things around here IMO. She also looks like a business girl with that dress.
This theme will also ended up become 10 years old…
Actually, the entire DDC soundtracks will become 10 years old. Dang, how long has it been?
10 years.
God, weird to think about
Touhou as a whole is 26 years old now if you count from the PC-98 era
I remember getting into TH right as 12 dropped, and waiting enthusiastically for TH13 after 13 announcement. Damn.
I was listening to This when a Thunderstorm is coming, right from the far-away airport.
My, my. The amount of views on this one, and Shinmyoumaru's theme, sure is growing fast. It won't be long till they both surpass Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator.
I like Shotoku Legend, but it's FAR outdone by Kobito Of The Shining Needle in my opinion...
aaaaaaaaand now they're the most viewed vids on the channel. *clap clap*
LETS GOOOO
2:39 is godly
That drum solo from a composer who rarely even includes a heavy amount of drums must be a very brave move and yet it pulled off so well.
@@corrinflakes9659 literally! It must’ve taken long for ZUN to compose that part. It sounds like thunder compiled with large amounts of electricity.
@@trainlyappurus To be honest, I think a lot of the piece leading up to it must have been difficult for ZUN too since the drums still get heavy leading up to that. I think covers that make the drums quieter tend to not be my favourite. Luckily RichaadEB knew just who to guest on that cover, *beat* is in the song title whether it's "Pristine" or "Primordial". (I prefer "primordial" since words like that and "primitive" direct translations are stand-in's in Japanese to equate "funky [music]", or so I've *heard* please don't quote me, but the drums get super funky for Touhou standards)
I haven't *played* Touhou because I have no idea how to get this Japanese indie game series that I'm not even sure has official translations, I know ZUN tends to leave the brand almost public domain as an IP (games as media I'm pretty sure are copyrighted). But even browsing on Steam for the official ZUN games is a pain. But I hope this track being my favourite of any I have heard is a more cultured choice or something. 😅
@@corrinflakes9659 AGREED!!
Why all double dealing character theme's are epic?
Ikr
It's kinda sad how little canon presence Raiko has. Not counting Momoyo (who is still a very recent character), she is the most underutilized windows extra boss in the series. And that's despite the fact that DDC is now as old as EoSD was when DDC came out
You could argue that Hecatia is more underutilized than her, thanks to Raiko the tsukumogami youkai were able to stay as a youkai because she was the only one smart enough to realize how they work. And she appears with the prismrivers in fighting games.
@@turkia6148 Hecatia at least had several appearances in the Three Fairies manga
Extra stage bosses are kinda like that, one ends up being a series staple, the other just kinda gets binned.
Flandre was irrelevant until 17.5 came along and ZUN suddenly remembered that she exists.
Ran is more or less the same before UDoALG.
Suwako is... eh, she didn't have it as bad but beyond her appearance in Soku she didn't really get much of a role, even if ZUN didn't forget about her like the previous characters.
Nue has only made 3 appearances beyond UFO in-game media, and even then it was mostly in the photo games where everyone appears.
Hecatia was forgotten beyond the three fairies manga.
And so far Saki's only had a minor role while Momoyo is yet to be seen anywhere.
Mokou, Koishi, Mamizou and to an extent Okina are the only EX stage bosses that gained some relevance throughout the series, so what I'm trying to say is, give it some time, maybe in 10 years ZUN will remember that Raiko exists.
@@toro2812 personally, I would rank the canon presence of Windows Extra bosses like this:
1. Yukari (yes, I know that she is technically a Phantasm boss) - nothing to comment here, she is one of THE most omnipresent characters in Touhou canon.
2. Mamizou - she is also basically everywhere. Not quite the Yukari level of canon omnipresence, but still way above absolute most of the other characters.
3. Koishi - while she doesn't appear in almost any print works, her presence in fighting games more that compensates for it.
4. Mokou - less game appearances than Koishi, but considerably higher print work presence.
5. Flandre - yes, she was abscent for a very long time, but her recent reappearences in 17.5 and FDS are huge.
6. Okina (though, for me she is more of a Final boss than an Extra boss) - suffers for not yet being playable, but otherwise, yeah, appears quite frequently.
7. Ran - was revitalized a lot by UDoALG, but, to be fair, she had some small appearences here and there before that (like in SSiB and FDS + some Yukari's spell-cards).
8. Saki - would't call her role in UDoALG "minor": she certainly was much more important there than, let's say, Nazrin or Seiran. But still, one game is just one game, and also her print work presence is none.
9. Suwako - technically, a playable character, but doesn't even have her own story mode. Print work appearances are miniscule.
10. Nue - at least she appears in TD Extra stage, and that one FS chapter. Additionally, being an older character, she've got lucky to also appear in DS and have a SoPM article about her.
11. Hecatia - a few VFiS chapters, one AFiEU interview, and that it. The only non-LoLK game she appears in also has Nue in it, so she is below her.
12. Raiko - as I've already said, she is incredibly underutilized. Her only print work appearance is a small AFiEU interview.
13. Momoyo - well, at least, she has an excuse of still being a very recent character. Also, she shows up in 100BM, which is neat, I guess
@@MrNoobomnenie Heck, when you think about it, the entire cast of DDC got shafted harder than any other windows mainline entry in the series, half got relegated to minor appearances in ISC or VD, Seija is basically the main character for ISC, then she proceeds to never, ever appear again in the enitre series, and to top it all off, Koakuma has more manga appearances than anyone in the game and fucking Mima has appeared in more games than anyone bar Shinmyoumaru.
ZUN must have something against this game cause even LoLK's cast didn't receive such a treatment.
Alternate title: Zun went all-out on the drums
yeah
I just beat Raiko for the first time tonight, and it was a freaking blast. One of the more fun Extra Bosses IMO.
I want to beat her with Sakuya B just for one post-battle line.
Of course, that's probably never going to happen because I can't even clear the extra stage with Reimu...
She is actually the only Extra Boss i have actually *beat* and i think she is the easiest.
It's not that hard to reach her with 4~6 lives and, with Sakuya A's bombs, defeat her.
But she is probably the only Touhou Extra Boss i'll defeat in my entire life. :3
Py'Werne
Yeah, but that's using a good shot type. :P
I'll get there someday. Maybe. Dedication would help.
+Py'Werne
I haven't played DDC yet but I'm really looking onto it but I think you might be able to beat Ran Yakumo and Suwako Moriya too but also Yukari Yakumo, Fujiwara no Mokou or Nue Houjuu as well. However Flandre, Koishi, Mamizou and Hecatia are frikin' hell afaik.
Oh man, I can relate to that.

Her index finger is probably behind the drumstick.
Touhou Hijack Gotta agree with that.
Hawkpath1337 what if her index finger IS the drumstick?
somaldelhar That's... surprisingly possible, seeing as she IS a tsukumogami.

They made a band together lol
She is too advanced.

That's what you're looking for.
I came for the entire song wdym?
@RandomPerson295 *h İ*
I came all over the place
Cripes, Raiko was painful to fight.
I mean, first you had to chase her around the entirety of Gensokyo, trawling through long grass for hours on end until you found her. And THEN she'd run off the moment you found her.
Oh, wait a minute, wrong game.
Brash Crandicoot Thats the wrong game bruh.
*Raiko chasing flashback comes to mind*
Thats was not fun.
HA!
It's especially funny to me bc I'm currently playing through Pokémon HeartGold version and Raikou is my fave Legendary Beast!
:3c.
It was the first of the beasts I ever caught...
It was the first Legendary I ever caught...
It has my favourite battle theme out of the three...
And it's my personal favourite, too.
Brash Crandicoot god same, in regards to "it's my personal favourite out of the three", but MY personal favourite Legendary is Groudon, easily.
Ehh, I'm torn between Rayquaza and Necrozma.
drummer: that's a sexy taiko drum
me: whaddya mean? it's just a drum
the drum spirit:
I can never get enough of this touhou song. Easily one of my favorite touhou songs by far. Everytime I hear it I can't help but break out into dance.
i second this wholeheartedly.
YESHHHHH!!!
Me too! It's midnight and I'm STILL listening to it!
I relate to the dancing part.
Damn this theme is brilliant. One of my favorite touhou themes ever and I generally don't like drums.
Zun y u so gud.
dude listen to some woodkid songs and u'll love drums just listening to run boy run can give me chills
When the drums start, OMG.
Man, if Kanako wasn't my fav 2hu, Raiko would've taken her spot. Her design, the drums...
All top-tier!
Every time there’s a thunderstorm outside, I am reminded of this theme- and before long I am blasting it into my ears.
2:37 hypest part
Damn right
By far the most ambitious ZUN work.
Raiko is the cutest character in the series. Also the best dressed :3
She also looks like that character that just doesn't give a fuck about anything.
Her face does not change after you beat her haha
***** OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! SNAP!!!! Haha a drum could make a snap sound.
***** Not even close. The only similarity I can see is the short hair.
***** well not really
the top part is different size,yukas skirts opens from the side raikos the front,yuka has botten under the top part raikos dosnt and the top is more of a coat, yuka has a bow like thing on her raiko has a tie, yuka has poofier hair then raiko
similer things are placements of clothing and hair length
Raiko is cute and stylish.
This theme has over a million views?
AS IT SHOULD!
literally never heard of raiko until i found her song reccomended on a shinmyonmaru video
Reimu A and Reimu B: hm, this is a really big challenge
Sakuya A: OP shot × defensive bomb for the lalz
Marisa B: hilarious nonspell executions, spell timeouts
Marisa A and Sakuya B: can't even beat normal mode with 'em... (but I've beaten hard mode with Sakuya A)
I've actually beaten Raiko with SakuyaB quite nicely. Fun boss.
I hate Alternative Sticking...
If Raiko's first spell wasn't such a homing-killer and I could actually get enough lives and bombs, I could beat Raiko with Sakuya A. As it is, I'm trying to 1cc Normal with Marisa B so I can use her instead (so many lives + no homing = much better chance as long as I don't die to Alternate Sticking)
It is just me, or does she looks like a female Battler Ushiromiya?
Given than ZUN and Ryu07 are friends, this could be possible at least.
***** Then she MASTAAAAAAA SPAAAAARKUUUU's Raiko. lol. Unfortunately for Raiko, Marisa isn't a witch to battle using logic.
Mad Aleph batterist yumemi? from TH3 i think
Mad Aleph Didn't you know? Bernkastel and Lambda are Touhou characters
+NathanRomml wait are you actually being serious as in they actually appeared in an official touhou game or are you just saying their design is very reminiscent of touhou characters
Thomas Scally yeah
This is my favorite theme in the whole touhou series. Seriously, does drums are so good
Sure you can play the air guitar. Me? Raiko's got me playing them air drums!~
Gotta love the Primordial Beat here. That drum solo sure is a Pristine Beat. The theme fits Raiko well in DDC.
I Think That's Why It's Named That
ZUN became extremely good with percussion in his latest works. I see this as the theme that started to show his improvements.
Just listen to the OST he made in ULiL (the ones he didn't make had often great percussion as well) and LoLK
What the fuck is your profile pic why do i love it
one million views! an amazing accomplishment for our drum waifu.
theme is dope as fuck
Why, thank you.
I loved this, my daughter showed me this in at 3AM??? but I'm so glad. after hearing this it helped me in so many ways not only physically but mentally
cultured daughter right there
Your kid has great taste.
Thats awesome. Have you heard other ZUN music since then?
Raiko always looks so cool in fan art.
The drums goes perfectly with the beat.
2:38 𝑚𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡
Listening to this when there's loud rain and thunder outside hits different
this theme has some unique sounds unheard in most touhou themes
Let's take potshots at who she's borrowing her power from.
My guess is The8BitDrummer.
now we just sit tight waiting Flandre to catch up with Raiko and Shinmyoumaru. for once i'm glad such underrated Touhou extra boss has more views than popular ones like Mokou, Flandre, and Koishi
the best girl always gets the best theme
I always imagine a game like PoFV where ALL the characters on touhou are playable.
"Touhou All Stars Vs." :O That would be cool :)
***** They could at least throw in just the MoF (Nitori/Sanae*), SA (Yuugi/Orin*) UFO (Murasa/Shou*) TD (Kyouko/Futo*) & DDC (maybe Kagerou & Seija*) characters (*my possibilities) maybe adding in Hatate in as well.
And of course keep Reimu & Marisa.
SyntaxMagenta And keep Sakuya too.
Rales Perez Sakuya and Youmu
Alex Ramírez Hernández If you say so...
this is by far the best boss theme zun made. the whole drum solo makes me shudder every time
This theme is so good, best extra stage boss theme, besides Koishi and Suwako, so much power and it fits her so well
One of the best Touhou Theme
@Señor Unknown Anonymous Best Extra
@Random Shion Banking & Financing INC. best extra also I like dark pegasus and necro-fantasy
I barely even listened to this one at first, but now I think it's my favorite extra boss theme :D
“My name is Horikawa Raiko. I’m 10 years old.”
Before I know it, I already hear the 10 minutes of the song. This never happened to me with any Touhou song. This really is a masterpiece.
A beat that has crossed the mediterranean
From Italy to Greece where you live my dear Herodotus
How did ZUN coded her Last Spell? DAMN, it's so cool because it syncs with the music...
congratulation, you notice the cool part. now go watch okuu lunatic play with a good headphone.
cuz ZUN makes the music first
I love how Raiko is a drum demon and part of the song consists entirely of drums.
Super late but raiko theme make me calmer thanks
I'd like to see Raiko return in a game.
The fact that she's only appeared in DDC and ISC thus far is downright criminal.
suddenly, a wild Raiko appears in AoCF
And in Violet Detector also!
I love listening to this whenever there's a thunderstorm coming.
raiko is now my drum waifu
Raiko's doing the 👌
I like Raiko more than Hecatia.
Besides both of their 0:00 sound similar. 0:30 is also similar with Hecatia's theme intro.

+Braviaggron I love em' both, I have a headcanon in which they are sisters :'C

Cannot unhear the survival card rhythm.
Recently, I got some new headphones, and when I played this song, I could hear the Taiko Drums in the background. It sounds so awesome :D
Even better with high quality headphones.

This is an insane piece of music
It sounds like a final boss theme, though Raiko is just an extra boss.
The true final boss?
My ears are loving the piano and the drums
