Daily Touhou Best Topic MK II

[LiteYear]

I'll go with Yuyuko x Byakuren, even though it might not be a crack paring later on.

[MysTeariousYukari]

For pairings... Sakuya-Yuugi maybe, that or Flandre-Cirno... I can't pick

Least fav Stage 4 theme... idk, I only remember getting to stage 4 in Perfect Cherry Blossom.

[Sapz]

I'm sure both Ruro and Kilga will despise this, but Remi x Nue. Alternatively, Nue x Koishi for the ultimate in scaring people shitless.

Spoiler:

NuelegsNuelegsNuelegs

This guy knows what's up. :V

[Bananamatic]

YuugenMagan x Bucket Loli

[Formless God]

Does U.N. Owen x U.F. Owen count ?

[Gpop]

Alternatively, Nue x Koishi for the ultimate in scaring people shitless.This guy knows what's up. :V

I would endorse this. I think there's a doujin on this actually, but I know shushio made an image on them.

[Alfred F. Jones]

Does U.N. Owen x U.F. Owen count ?

I thought selfcest wasn't allowed Sure.

[theshirn]

Almost done, and, at the same time, TOO MUCH WORK

What do you think is the most underrated Touhou track?

Now Luna Dial automatically takes this, because there are a lot of people who don't like Luna Dial, but close HMs go to Maple Wise and Himorogi, Burn in Violet.  Both are truly awesome, the best two S4 themes in my opinion, and are almost completely overlooked by EVERYONE.  It is a shame.

[COPIRIGHTO]

Luna Dial

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Lunate Elf. It gets no attention at all from what I've seen. I don't think anybody even likes that song aside from me.

HMs to Tabula rasa ~ The Empty Girl, swr.Evening Star (which everybody hates), Drunk As I Like, A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry (which is actually better than Lunate Elf in terms of EoSD music), and uh... Lost Place and Heartfelt Fancy I guess but I don't know if they'd be considered underrated.

[Sen]

Well, arguably any PC-98 song without the word "Alice" in it qualifies for this :V
So do the pre-battle themes from the fighters.

Buuuuuuuut I think I'll go with the SWR arrange of Evening Star as well. Everyone hates it, but I think it's fantastic and suits Yukari much more than the grimdark version from IaMP (I mean, both work for Yukari but I think the SWR version fits her so much more). Honorable mention to Silence from IaMP.

[Serela]

Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship for sure.

HM to Candid Friend, and Inanimate Dream (Yuka's Final Boss theme from LLS)

[Formless God]

Evening Star wins this, obviously.

HM to Faint Dream, Romantic Children and Candid Friend.

[nintendonut888]

Considering Sakuya is popular and her fans rave over EVERYTHING about her, Luna Dial is popular among her fans.

But hmm...

The Strange Everyday Life of the Flying Shrine Maiden. I've heard two remixes: A title theme in some fangame, and a Touhou Soccer remix. It's a really great song, but I'm the only person I know who likes it.

Honorable mentions are a waste of time because 80% of the PC-98 songs are underappreciated.

Honorable mention to Silence from IaMP.

Oh yeah, I forgot about IaMP pre-battle themes. Those are just as, if not even worse off than PC-98 songs. In that case, honorable mention goes to Unexpected Visitor, the best of the lot that isn't Broken Moon or Skygazer.

[Esoterica]

Perdition Crisis and Doll of Misery.  Perdition Crisis in particular since people are too busy drooling over Bad Apple to even notice Elly has a separate boss theme.

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Oh man, I forgot about Perdition Crisis. It's actually a really pretty song, shame it gets so little attention.

[Esoterica]

Thanks for proving my point. :V

[Kilgamayan]

In terms of the song that gets overlooked the most because of surrounding songs, Heartfelt Fancy wins this easily, given the sheer volume of people that fap to 3rd Eye.

Heartfelt Fancy does have a decent number of fans itself, however, so in the interest of picking a song that's underrated because it gets almost no attention, I pick Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country from StB. This whole soundtrack is overlooked very often (and arguably deservedly so), but Sleepless Night is an excellent composition that really does deserve a lot more attention than it gets.

Top Ten Underrated list can be found here, if people want to bitch about their song getting/not getting recognized.

[N-Forza]

Iku's Theme

[Esoterica]

Iku's Theme

This too.

[Formless God]

Retrospective Kyoto also deserves a LOT of love.

1:10 is pure win.

[TL777 ✌]

Poison Body~ Forsaken Doll

[Seian Verian]

This, so much. Of course, Hellfire Mantle as well. It gets less arranges than some PC-98 songs =/

Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship for sure.

HM to Candid Friend, and Inanimate Dream (Yuka's Final Boss theme from LLS)

What. I'd say that Interdimensional Voyage is one of the most OVERrated songs from what I've seen. Inanimate Dream less so, but still.

[Sen]

Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country

I am ashamed I forgot about this song. SNotEC is amazing
Still, I've seen (and own) quite a few arranges of the song, so I wouldn't say it's terribly underrated. By far the best song in StB, at any rate.

[Azinth]

Aside from PC-98 and Seihou themes (which are pretty much all underrated with a few exceptions), I choose The Tiger-Patterned Vaisravana.  It doesn't seem nearly as popular as several of the other overrated themes from UFO, which is a shame, because it's very good.

[Kilgamayan]

Wait, someone actually said Candid Friend? Candid Friend got an assload of attention when the MoF demo first hit and is still pretty widely regarded as really good.

It even got an IOSYS video.

[Grand Octopus]

Ghostly Eyes. I genuinely don't understand the apathy towards this fantastic track.

[nintendonut888]

Ghostly Eyes. I genuinely don't understand the apathy towards this fantastic track.

Does this really count as underrated? Something I've noticed for a long time is that everyone says it's underrated. Everyone says that it's underrated and unloved, and they can't understand why nobody likes it.

Everyone. I've never heard a single person who doesn't like it or doesn't talk about how underrated it is. :V

If Ghostly Eyes doesn't qualify as underrated, you're using a different definition of the word to the one I'm familiar with. I'm talking primarily about its lack of remixes and its ranking in that giant Japanese poll from earlier this year. My knowledge of how the track stands in the eyes of western-fanbase individuals is reasonably limited, but the only time I can remember seeing it get any real praise here was when one other person mentioned it in the top 10 topic. In the 'Which is your favourite Stage 1 theme?' daily question, it got a fairly average amount of mentions.

[nintendonut888]

My definition of underrated is when many people think something sucks or is mediocre when it is in fact really good. Like Bomberman 64: The Second Attack. This game has a bad reputation for following two mediocre Bomberman games on the N64, and it had pretty bad reviews, and came out at the end of the console's lifespan, and yet it's one of my favorite games ever. THAT'S underrated.

As for lack of remixes...need I remind you of my two remixes ever song? :[ And I bet that song isn't even on that list.
