I love Celtic folk, and Septette lends itself surprisingly well to the style. Then again, it seems to work in a lot of different styles. I was really disappointed to find this piece wasn't on CarrotWine's Bandcamp. 7/10
Moonbeam Moon:
Similar to last round's "Spectacle of Color," this piece has a nice contrast between stiff techno percussion in the music and soft flowing tones in the vocals. But the contrast is less stark here, leaving a serene but energetic and sometimes sinister remix. I almost feel I'm being told a story through the music. 7/10
Danmaku Surfer Hakurei:
I have nothing against surfer rock, but I'm not a fan of it either. I can appreciate the quality of arrangement in this piece, but it's not something I'd listen to again. 5/10
PS: The hat may be familiar ????

I know I found the original on Nico Video, but as I couldn't find it again I had to find other means of supplying it. The title was Japanese, and I felt "Touhou Spring" made slightly more sense than "Eastern Story Spring." That being said, the latter is what Google translated it into.

What a jovial sounding piece! This is a really upbeat and soothing take on one of my favourite Touhou songs, the instrumentation really sells it. I haven't really got any more to say than that, have a 7/10.
Moonbeam Maiden
It's another one of my favourite themes! This remix has some pretty chilled beats, which I like. There are also these more rough sections which I didn't like the first time listening; although after listening to it a second time they seem to fit a lot better, and help to add some variety to the song. It's an okay remix, but overall not much of a standout to me, so I'll rate 5/10.
Hakurei the Danmaku Surfer
Reimu's theme again! However, I don't particularly like surf rock so this remix doesn't do much for me. Maybe it's because of the style, or maybe it's just me, but I also feel this remix is kinda lacking in substance. I'll give it a 4/10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Ken Hisuag Yes, I noticed you had uploaded that, I also read the description on the video. Wait, the title translated to Eastern Story Spring? If it were me I would have just dropped the word "Story", but it's not like it really matters. Still, if you happen to have the original Japanese title, I'd be curious to have a look at it.

I really like this one it gives me warm vibes and i possibly just could listen it over and over due to how much chill it gives. I also really like Remilia theme so thats even more reasons to listen to it
7.5/10
Danmaku Surfer Hakurei:
About rock how i like it varies significantly based on subgenre and surf rock never really been my thing dont understand me wrong i appreciate uniqueness but it just doesnt suit me too well. Still its Maiden Capriccio theme that i have big sentiment to.

@buskerdog Honestly you've got me doubting my memory now. I don't have the Japanese title, so I can't double-check. Maybe it is just "eastern."

I think this song is quite good? It manages to get that delicate mix of joyous yet intense that the original has, but I also think it's... lacking something... The only thing harder than this boss fight was rating this song, and it doesn't help that I had to listen to this loads of times to make my mind up, but I've decided that it's a 4.5 for me.

Beethoven: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
Wow... Stack actually sounds kinda scary in this. I didn't notice it the first time listening over Stack'smenacing aura crazy singing, but this is honestly a really creative mix of oriental, techno and orchestral instruments. And as always, Stack's voice seems to work perfectly with it.
Not even being ironic when I rate this ⑨/10.
Flandre Scarlet's Makyou Budoukai
Hey, I quite like this! It sounds a little celebratory, a little royal, a little mysterous and a little menacing, honestly very fitting of Flandre herself. A very pleasant arrangement that does a lot with a little. 7/10.

Comfort in the Screams of Hell: (maybe? It's as close as I could get)
I like this piece; it's a pretty standard upbeat JP vocal with good instrumentation and harmony. The cat is rather annoying, though. 5/10
Kung-Fu Master No. 9:
What is this piece?! Cirno, Stack, and . . . Beethoven? It somehow seems fitting that this track is all over the place, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, did anyone else notice that the beginning dialogue is stereoscopic? 9/10
Flandre Scarlet's Magical Ball:
U.N. Owen was Watz? I'm always down for some magical orchestra, and this piece certainly fits its name. That being said, it seems a bit subdued. I'd have liked some of the background instrumentation to be a bit more amplified. 7/10

Love Song:
Every remix of Border of Life I hear manages to hold a sense of awe.
This is a very serene piece. Something about it makes me want to know what the lyrics are/what the song is about. 7/10
Jiang Shi of Paradise ~ Rigid Paradise:
dBu! Yeah!
Most of the Rigid Paradise remixes I've found are vocals, and I spent the first minute or so of this piece waiting for them to show up. It's rather refreshing to hear an instrumental version.
Usagi's signature blend of traditional instruments and [symphonic?] metal lends itself well to the slightly creepy feeling, specifically in places where he's contrasting the melody. 8/10
No More, Anymore? More, More?!:
Very unique on multiple levels. The description says it's a remix of Eternal Shrine Maiden, but I can't hear it. It feels like the lyrics were written first, and the song adjusted to fit around them. But on its own merits (as more of an original work than a remix), it's well done. 9/10

Love Song
The best word I can use to describe this song is zen. It's meditative and calming, yet the beat moves it forward with a sure pace, focusing you; what I feel when listening to this is like the flow state, perhaps better known as "Being in The Zone". It's beautiful; the synth that weaves in through the oriental lead creates a combination that just hits in all the right places for me, and the strong vocal lead gives the whole thing a great moving power. Awe-inspiring, yet modest, I'm giving this a 10/10.
Jiang Shi of Paradise ~ Rigid Paradise
Powerful rock remix. I especially love the turning points at 1:15 and 2:41, they add something new and interesting to the song each time and allow it to keep moving at full speed from start to finish, without burning out. Overall it really creates that adrenaline filled boss-battle feeling without there actually being any boss... so I wonder what would happen if you inserted this into a game's OST? 7/10.
No More, Anymore? More, More?!
A very varied and unique song, it has a very funky feel to it, and I love the lyrical work in this. Oh, and I love the instrumentation/composition, too. The whole thing is very catchy and interesting to listen to - although, I can't hear the original, even though I know it's meant to be Eternal Shrine Maiden. Still, it's incredibly fun, interesting and really entertaining to listen to. Easy 9/10.

quite a piece from Muon Kagura, ain't expect this from them since mostly they make electro stuff idk lol. athe vocal, Mai-san really powerful this time, i can feel shivers and peace at the same time while listening. Though this one got a bit of electro element in it, they managed to keep the Zen (thanks buskerdog, im not sure what to call it before) feeling to it. Zen/10 i'll try to transliterate it, but expect catastrophic error
