Blog:Top 5 favourite Touhou Project fan made music (ft. Flandre Scarlet)

It was 2018 when I retired from mh:awesomegames:Minecraft and started playing osu! (from which I also retired soon), a rhythm game with a lot of maps with various kinds of music, as exemplified by those inspired by the mh:awesomegames:Touhou Project series, and thanks to this game I got acquainted with this franchise. Touhou games are representative of the bullet hell genre, which relies on you to dodge bullets fired by enemies, but you can also shoot yourself against various enemies and bosses depicted in anthropomorphic moe style. This is what I will tell the story about the series, because it is not necessarily the games that attracted the attention of the audience, in fact it is largely defended by the fantastic soundtrack performed by the Japanese master ZUN, who created these games as well. The absolute first song I ever heard from Touhou was "U.N. Owen Was Her?", which served as the boss fight theme of Flandre Scarlet from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia Scartet's younger sister, which despite appeared only in one main-line game, she's one of the most popular characters, largely because of her theme, becoming an Internet meme around the world. After hearing the original theme, I had the opportunity to see a YouTube Poop Music Video (YTPMV) called "Ronald McDonald insanity", otherwise known as "McRoll'd" or "McRoll", featuring Ronald McDonald, in this case from various Japanese McDonald's commercials. Thanks to this, I have delved even more into that black hole that is Touhou, but this is not a story for today's topic. Thanks to the huge Touhou fanbase, a lot of fan made music has arisen with Touhou theme or they are a remake of the original themes, or they are served as a unique remix with Touhou sauce on the plate. In this list, I would like to focus on a list of my five favorite fan made songs, in which Flandre Scarlet and her theme play a common role. I would like to point out right away that I do not include YTPMVs and other parodies to the list, only remixes or fan made "U.N. Owen Was Her?"-inspired music.

COOL&CREATE - "Last Brutal Sister Flandre S (U.N.Owen was her REMIX)" : This is an absolute classic and the first Touhou remix I've ever heard. I would like to mention right away that this remix was used in McRoll, and thanks to that parody, I was able to see the original remix. I will put it in fifth place because of sentiment, but not in a higher position, because the remix is already showing its age, which makes me feel like I went back to the mid-2000s YouTube era, which is not usually a good thing. Still, I recommend this song and has catchy moments, especially this and similar to this later looped. The second song I have featured in this place is technically a remake of the classic remix, but since it isn't that original, it goes here, instead of the higher place.

Yvant2000's Shitpost - "Untrousled" and "Untrousled 2" : Unlike the previous remix, they are a combination between Touhou and other one popular indie game, mh:awesomegames:Undertale, specifically the "U.N. Owen Was Her?" + "Bonetrousle" mashup. These are a recreation of both songs, specially they are a remix of "Bonetrousle" with added "U.N. Owen Was Her?" beat. Nothing else to say, they both equally sound amazing. Honestly, thanks to the user who created the two remixes, he makes me think there should be a crossover between Touhou and Undertale as they fit together very well and combine several features that are sure to be discovered by you with no issue.

xDEFCONx - "UN Owen Was Her (Death Waltz)" : Another classic recreation of "U.N. Owen Was Her?" with more unique style, which is not a "re-remix" inspired by that classic previously mentioned. From what I've heard, the default FL Studio sound effects were used, as well as some Mario Paint sound effects, and even it was also inspired by Madness Combat. The funniest thing about that is the musician who uploaded this video, claimed in the description that the download link "WILL BE ADDED, THESE FILES ARE NOT SMALL". Nine years later and there's no download link yet!

REDALiCE - "taboo tears you up" : The most original fan made song, which in this case does not serve as a remix of this well-known theme, but draws inspiration from it. I first got acquainted with the 2008 edition via osu! but several months ago heard the 2017 remake which is as charming as the original. Nothing else to say expect it's a totally underrated gen you need to discover, especially when you like a Touhou-inspired music.

Koa - "U.N. Owen Was Her? & Flowering Night" : My actual favourite remix/fan made "U.N. Owen Was Her?"-inspired music, which also features "Flowering Night" (another official boss fight theme of Touhou games, but with the case of Sakuya Izayoi) with its own fan made remix commonly called "Night of Nights", made by the same creator of the cult "U.N. Owen Was Her?" remix. Let me explain why it's my favourite remix of this boss fight theme: The most obvious reason is that it's the most catchy remix from all of them, featuring the style of the music based on the genre I enjoy, but I can't recognize it because I don't have such knowledge about music. For me, the music only matters if has a beat I like to hear. That's it.

The end
Thanks for reading this blog I have written. I hope you enjoy this one, and share your favourite fan made music of any popular theme. See you next time.
