Made more sense to put Tetsuo instead of Kaneda.
Whats cracking big dawgs, #1 third-gen touhou king of haters here back at it with an another thread made out of boredom. I've been kidnapped by Maribel and Renko, and somehow my SIM-less cellphone has access to some nearby Wi-Fi inside their crib. It's dark out there, and I'm handcuffed to a fancy queen-sized bed. Don't know why, hopefully it's not because I said Hifuu doesn't live up to the hype and Dolls in Pseudo Paradise is better.
Shitty-ass intro, and half-serious thread coming right up. I was scrolling down my YouTube page, then I saw this video talking about Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart and how it was the "saddest" boss theme of the series. Other than myself not remembering the video title word-by-word and hopefully not putting words inside a stranger's mouth: it matters none as I gave a listen again. Before, my opinion was "Overrated song from a barely fleshed-out and overrated character". It transformed into "I don't like it but I can understand why it has a huge following. It's just that ZUN's music style no longer stands out to me in this era, and Junko is overrated as always
."
So this thread idea flashed in my mind: do any of you have songs that sounds deceiving, that punches over it's weight? Songs that don't pass your standards, or stands out for a negative reason? Even pure, straight ass from a rearrangement circle, or a genre that just doesn't click with you? I want to hear what y'all have to say (and I want to hear y'all complain like entitled children for my entertainment.)
I'll begin first: other than saying DiPP > Hifuu, Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind suffer from that same issue too. It doesn't stand out to my ears. This time, I don't hate Byakuren, just that it does not suit her. I feel like ZUN focused on "let's make a cool-sounding final boss song", but forgot that this song has to embody the character along with it. The sound has an epic feel to it, it's fast-paced, it goes high in it's octaves and it's got a catchy hook: on paper, it hits. However, it doesn't display this dynamic between a hypocritical saint who has to appease between two "enemy" species just so her fear of death can be controlled. The song lacks identity and as is: I do not picture Byakuren when listening it (unless that was the purpose? <-- Dummy Dumbfuck over here.)
Now, I won't deny: UFO kinda stands as a weird spot: I feel like ZUN didn't managed to stand out with the boss songs but the stage songs? Definitely standing high: when I jam Rural Makai City Esoteria or any stage song, I groove to it. Kogasa's theme doesn't sound too bad, to be fair: she's the exception.
(imagine I wrote a transition so that it's any of y'alls turn. There you go.)
