I had no idea such things even existed. I've never played any main Touhou games, but I've seen a lot of the characters converted to MUGEN and had to try looking up quotes for most of them, so I have a decent knowledge of the most popular characters. I'm into the concept of the song (I've listened to everything by The Megas, so yes, I like lyrical remixes of VGMs), I love the computerized instruments, I love the lyrics of the song... I just don't really like the singer himself, unfortunately. This comes so close to being one of my all-time favorite songs ever, but his voice holds things back for me. More specifically, after listening to a few of his other songs, I don't think he's able to put enough emotion behind the words. No matter which character he's singing from the perspective of, or the lyrics themselves, it's always in a similar tone of voice. The villain singing in "No Guardian Angel" as they prepare to kill their victim should not sound exactly like Reimu lamenting that she never has a chance to rest between battles in "On The Moon". To be entirely fair, that's not exactly his fault. It would be virtually impossible for any one person to portray so many different characters and the fast-paced nature of Touhou music doesn't offer much opportunity to even try properly expressing emotion. He did the best he could and I don't honestly know there's anyone who could have done better. ....Then again, I wouldn't mind hearing an entire album of these songs. so I may not be giving him enough credit... [FINAL NOTES: I honestly don't want to have this song this low, but like Pentaly Shootout, I can't bring myself to move any other songs down to boost it.] [FINAL-ER NOTES: ...Is what I said at the time, but now I want to move this up at least 16 rankings. Very, very undervalued song.[ ==================================================== --- M.U.G.E.N.
