Touhou 16: Hidden Star in Four Seasons:
 - Deep-Mountain Encounter: LINK

[insert main comment here]

Sorry about the bland left hand parts in some sections. Nothing worked better.

[GenericArrangements]

To prove that I'm not here just to dump sheet music of the most recent game, I'm going to post something that makes it look like I'm just seeking attention, or have less knowledge of Touhou than I actually do.

Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil:
 - U.N. Owen Was Her?: LINK

Also I felt like it.

I don't really know if "Chaotically" is a good tempo marking to use for this piece, but there were so many words floating around my head that I couldn't actually think of, that I ended up going with that instead.

[GenericArrangements]

Ditto, but slightly more obscure.

Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism:
 - Hartmann's Youkai Girl: LINK

Recently I beat this Extra Stage again because I lost my old replay. I forgot to save the replay.

[GenericArrangements]

Bonus points for picking the first Touhou song (from a player's perspective).

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - A Sacred Lot: LINK

Some songs aren't really meant for solo piano, nor are some songs easy to arrange for it. There was almost nowhere that felt like good opportunities for slurs, and it all seems incredibly difficult. Then again, it's unlikely that someone would expect this of all songs to be easy to play.

[GenericArrangements]

And now, for something completely different.

Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism:
 - Green Eyed-Jealousy: LINK

Not an incredibly popular song, but one that translates very well onto solo piano. Probably because it is a piano piece lol.

[GenericArrangements]

More popular stuff:

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Eternal Shrine Maiden: LINK

"Popular" as in "has enough significance to be moderately well-known within the fanbase, and is also a pretty good song".

I really need to start getting synonyms for "dramatically". ZUN jokingly stated in one of the music comments for SoEW that it's all he knew how to make, and it shows a bit in HRtP. It's not 100% true, but it was funny anyway.

[GenericArrangements]

There's no explanation for this one:

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - The Positive and Negative: LINK

This song is fast. Very fast. But it's only 55 seconds long and has several repeated sequences. As a result I couldn't really do much with it.

[GenericArrangements]

yo it's Mima lmao

Touhou 2: Story of Eastern Wonderland:
 - Complete Darkness: LINK

One of those cases of "it should be in A#m but I don't want to kill you with double sharps". Bbm looks nicer.

[GenericArrangements]

title drop

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Highly Responsive to Prayers: LINK

I don't feel like this song really deserves to be named after the whole game. It only plays in Stage 6-9 in one route of the game anyway.

[GenericArrangements]

Nice short one.

Touhou 2: Story of Eastern Wonderland:
 - She's in a Temper!!: LINK

This song's quite unique for a Stage 1 boss theme, although that's to be expected from the very first one. The structure for a standard Stage 1 boss theme is there though.

[GenericArrangements]

This was actually really simple.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Strange Oriental Discourse: LINK

Of course, the multitude of repeated notes ultimately lead to increased playability concerns.

[GenericArrangements]

Really I'm just dumping all of this stuff because I feel like it.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Angel's Legend: LINK

Why the Jigoku is this song three and a half minutes long. It's the second boss theme in the game. Sure YuugenMagan is annoying, but I don't remember the fight lasting three minutes. It just repeats the first half, with less drums. Honestly it's the cheapest way ZUN's lengthened a song, and it wasn't even necessary.

[GenericArrangements]

Expired certificate or not, I'm still uploading sheet music.

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith:
 - Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain: LINK

I know I'm essentially talking to myself, but sometimes I like to consider how to draw people in to this content. The market is small to begin with, but I guess a few things could change (like changing my username to a more respectable identifier for example). I try to make my sheets fancy (~ish), but I wonder if people are seeing it at all (well according to the view count, there obviously are some people). To be honest I seem to be writing this out in a way that gives the impression that I actually care about that sort of thing. Really it doesn't matter. In the end I'm the one having fun making content.

Woah that's longer than it should be.

EDIT: Also the version of this song that plays in Double Spoiler is almost identical to this one, so I could just pass this off as that song too, but I'll get to that when I'm bothered.

[GenericArrangements]

I have... er... strong opinions on DDC. Not very positive ones. That's for another time though. This song is one of the few in the soundtrack that stand out.

Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character:
 - Dullahan Under the Willows: LINK

Yes, I did beam over barlines. I can argue my reasoning.

Also as for names, I can't really change my username straight away (as that requires changing it everywhere I am, which would be confusing for some people, or make it hard for me to prove that I made something and that I'm not stealing), so I could put them just on the sheets, without changing my username on the forums. I don't have any creative names floating around as of late, so I'll leave it for now.

Working on another music-related project right now (which may or may not be an album), so managing this page is becoming increasingly difficult.

[GenericArrangements]

I like to be very unique and stylish with my sheets. This is a strange mix of both that and a bit of boring left hand movement, but hopefully it worked out nicely.

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith:
 - Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's Kappa: LINK

I had to force myself not to put the lyrics for Nitori no Uta in there. Would've been great, but a bit too much.

[GenericArrangements]

It's basically solidified at this point that I'm talking into a void. Honestly it gets funnier as it goes along, plus I get to write whatever I want without fear of criticism.

Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom:
 - Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?: LINK

Quite repetitive. Not the most repetitive (the owner of that award almost tried to be boring), but very much so. Not a huge fan of the organ either, but it's a nice variety to have (rather than Zunpets everywhere), and it's not like the whole soundtrack spammed the organ either.

Still working on that name. Extremely hard to choose between either "i write sheet music lol" or "name", although more ideas may start coming through.

[GenericArrangements]

Speaking of repetitive song:

Touhou 2: Story of Eastern Wonderland:
 - Power of Darkness: LINK

I like this song though. Also I got to expand my tempo marking vocabulary for my current Touhou sheets.

Also now "I Make Sheet Music" is becoming a likely name. However, if I make enough Touhou sheets (probably 150-200 or something) I could call myself the "Touhou Sheet Music Landfill" but I'd have to wait a while for that. I'm forcing myself into a strict "one-per-day" schedule, and 200 days seems like a long time.

[GhoulMage]

It's pretty strange that after all what you did no one seems to have replied here :V

I feel like MoTK doesn't pay attention to artists here, at least not if they are not popular somwhere else. Welp, nice work you have there, keep doing it!

[GenericArrangements]

It's pretty strange that after all what you did no one seems to have replied here :V

That's normal for me really, although if I do end up arranging all of the PC98 era songs and don't get much notice, I may be a little bit peeved

I feel like MoTK doesn't pay attention to artists here, at least not if they are not popular somwhere else.

Hmm, that's interesting.

Welp, nice work you have there, keep doing it!

Thanks! As I said, strict one-per-day schedule. Not going to stop for a while (unless something else stops me at any given point temporarily).

[GenericArrangements]

Anyhoo~ More sheet.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Blade of Banishment: LINK

If you noticed, I skipped Oriental Magician. This is really only because I couldn't get it to sound good, so I stopped less than halfway. This song is a bit nicer anyway, and it let me be very creative with the left hand movements.

"Sheet Music Person" is also an option for a name.

[GenericArrangements]

Maximum show-offery.

Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object:
 - Provincial Makai City Esoteria: LINK

So show-offy in fact that I had to use a separate exporter because the standard PDF wouldn't actually load anything in most software (for some reason the only one that worked was Windows 8's default "Reader"). I feel like this piece deserved extra attention because of its time signature, and because it's a genuinely great song.

Also I have to thank a friend for a few beaming problems here and there. Great help.

[GenericArrangements]

Something different.

Touhou 13: Ten Desires:
 - Futatsuiwa from Sado: LINK

Good song. I tried to make the sheet live up to it. Nothing much else to say.

[GenericArrangements]

More HRtP.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Magic Mirror (Makai): LINK

I like how this song foreshadows at least 2 songs from the series, although those melodies reappeared in PC98, and only one has appeared in Windows Series. Some people say there's Nostalgic Blood of the East there, but the similarities are too generic and unspecific to allow appropriate explanations. Also this song is only 2 pages long, compared to a weaker boss battle, which lasts for 6 pages. Makes sense.

This song is almost the same for the Hell version. Probably a really easy way of saving myself in case I run out of back-ups.

[GenericArrangements]

I've been running out of time to make these things recently. Work and all that more important stuff.

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith:
 - Tomorrow Will Be Special ~ Yesterday Was Not: LINK

So, uh... 7 pages. It's a long song, so I guess it's practically a given. I have fond memories of this tune, considering it plays in the first Extra Stage I ever beat. Fun times.

[GenericArrangements]

Heh.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - The Legend of KAGE: LINK

Nicolas KAGE.

[GenericArrangements]

I'm tired.

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith:
 - Road of the Apotropaic God ~ Dark Road: LINK

Subjectively the best Stage 2 theme. I think the style was pulled-off really well. Also I like how the stage works especially well with the music.

[GenericArrangements]

I'm still tired.

Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object:
 - The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl: LINK

This is a nice song, but the chord progression just hurts to arrange. I really like the ULiL version though.

[GenericArrangements]

I should probably stop making these so late into the night.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Now, Until the Moment You Die: LINK

This really does feel like the final boss theme, although still really short for one. Most of the songs in this game are fairly short though.
Also curse the actual boss fight. It infuriates me so much.

[GenericArrangements]

Instead of being tired, I'm really busy, so I'll make this even shorter.

Touhou 1: Highly Responsive to Prayers:
 - Swordsman of a Distant Star: LINK

I like this song. I arranged it weirdly. My formatting also feels weird. Have a nice day.
