Flowering Night

If you're talking about original ZUN pieces, I would vouch for any of Alice's boss or stage themes, PC-98 or Windows games. If you're talking about fanmade arranges and remixes, then anything can be contender.

>U.N. Owen Was Her is my favorite.

Confirmed for sub-human trash taste.

>>9976241
Want to explain why you feel that way?

U.N. Owen Was Her is great, I don't know why people hate on it
Maybe because it's so popular? Septette is more popular though

1.Phantom Ensemble
2.Faith is for the transient people

the third one is so far it was left out in the dust.

Deaf to all but the Ronald
Flowering Night
Bad Apple
Love Colored Master Spark

My favorite tends to change depending on how I'm feeling. A few months ago it was Cosmic Mind, but currently I really, really like Last Remote. Though I agree when someone said that people only liked it for the ``chorus'' part.

You can generally not go wrong with any six-boss or extra boss theme.
Just take a look at this year's surveys and you'll get a general idea of what people listen to.

Some cool stage songs:
Chinese tea
Fantastic legend of tohno
Kagome Kagome
Gensokyo the gods loved
Lullaby of deserted hell
At the end of spring
Midnight Fairy Dance
Desire Drive

By the way, can anyone give me some input on some good circles who do non-vocal arranges? I've always stuck to listening to the originals, so I can't shrug off the feeling that I'm missing out when I see people talking about remixes and shit.

IOSYS

>>9975374
unya~n's theme is the best since it goes so good with her stage

>>9976670
I somehow didn't realize they did non-vocals as well. I guess COOL&CREATE would fit into their category too.

>>9976655
I really like Floating Cloud Acoustic Band.

Nuclear Fusion.

I have about 17 mixes of the song but I always prefer the original. The only one that comes close for me is WARNING by NJK records.

But it still only comes close.

I get a serious boner each time I hear "Bloom Nobly Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome" AND/OR "Border of Life"

as for other themes, Phantom Ensemble is really great.

has anyone noticed how few arranges are for "Bahva-Agra as seen through a Child's mind"?

Reach for the moon
Septette for the dead princess
Ancient temple
Border of life
Romantic Children


in my opinion.

In order, my favorites are Broken Moon, Lullaby of Deserted Hell, and Septette for the Dead Princess.

>>9977071
I love it when they put sirens in the arranges. I always imagine Okuu descending from the sky surrounded by fire when I hear that.

Man how come there is never any mention of Lunatic Princess in these threads? To me it's so much better than all the other songs that there's no comparison.

D-do i have bad taste, /jp/ ? ;_;

>>9977129
yes. Lunatic Princess is a mediocre theme, outclassed by several other themes on its own game, such as "Reach for the moon..." or "Lunatic Eyes..."

overall, as a whole game I believe PCB has the best OST. I really like IN's OST, but by comparison PCB is really superior.

SA's OST is another great gem of musical scores... overall great tunes, easy to remember and catchy.

>>9977140

W-what? Reach for the moon is so repetitive... There's a 2 bar melody for 5 minutes.

PCB is really good but i still put MOF a notch above. More variety and Suwa foughten field is exceptional.

Pretty much every single piece. I cant find bad things to say about any of them. Gensokyo that gods loved is my ABSOLUTE favorite, but rest spot on my "list" has like 20 songs. Then the rest of them.

>>9975564
What the fuck? Typical /a/b/v/ secondary.

>>9976655
Snug Space for Jazz arranges.
Seasonal Dream Vision is a semi-official non-vocal album.

I fucking hate vocals but I really like Yuuhei Satellite and their vocals.

>>9977140
Of all the good themes you could have chosen out of IN, like "Plain Asia," "Voyage 1969," or "Deaf to all but the song," you had to compare it to the second worst ZUN composition in history. How retarded do you have to be to think that "Reach for the moon" is better than "Lunatic Princess?" Both are bad, lack creativity and are repetitive, just like the original "Bad Apple" and "Flowering Night."

>>9977129
I like it a lot. More than the other songs in IN. Exceptions perhaps being Reimu's and Marisa's themes, but I see them as kinda special cases.

We all know MoF had best OST.

captcha: jealousy sumensu

Of course, Midorime no Jealousy is also very nice.

>>9977212
Most ZUN compositions are repetitive.

Being an autist myself, I like repetition.

>>9977216
I really like the Stage (Hina, I forgot which one was it) theme. Hina's theme is pretty bland, though.

Nice figma.

Nobody will ever make a comment about your captcha, why bother mentioning it?

>>9977220
They're repetitive because they play in a video game

>>9977096
>>9977177

These. Every song is good, but especially Bloom Nobly. It just fits so well with everything when the fan opens and the music starts, it feels like you have a grand battle with the final boss to the death.

Also one of my favourites is The Road of the Apotropaic God ~Dark Road, it is just so much fun and still has kinda an eerie feeling to it.

>>9977224

I mention it because it reminded me of a song that I wouldn't have otherwise thought of; that being Parsee's theme.

>>9977228
Mentioning your captcha is pretty much pointless, though.

Don't do pointless stuff.

>>9977227
>>9977224 here
Yes, that was the one. Apotropaic is such a hard word.

>>9977224
>Nobody will ever make a comment about your captcha, why bother mentioning it?
Why not? You already did

Kanjou no Matenrou ~ Cosmic Mind

Anything that leads off with that trumpet fanfare, I like.

>>9977216

Considering what I just said, MoF as a whole also contains my favorite OST.

>>9977232
I'm probably the only one who will ever make a comment about your captcha,

And my comment wasn't exactly a positive remark.

>>9977231
That's why I copy pasted it.

>>9977236

That wasn't actually me.

>>9977240
Well, go to hell and tell the devil about your randumXD captcha.

>>9977216
Have you seen this? One of my favorite videos. 34 minutes of MoF piano without a break.

I can't stop listening to The Purest Sky and Sea. It's got this great atmosphere that one would expect from the CDs, but it's more beautiful than its peers, the main melody does
wonders to me. It's like what those ending/credit bgms could but never would be.

>>9977154
In its defense, it's more like 4 bars. But yes, there's no development or variation and it's repetitive as HELL.

I love how both Lunatic Princess and Reach for the Moon are structured very similarly, though (4 bars of call and response as main theme, arp riffs, then main theme again, etc).
I wonder if this was intentional. Either way, they both lend themselves very well to combined arranges, and I really love it when there's an arrangement combining the two into one song.

>>9977096
Probably it's because that theme is practically an arrangement of Uchoutenpen already? Since a lot of circles usually just take the melody and arrange it into whatever they feel like,
changing the overall feel and structure of the original, it might seem redundant to make an arrangement of an arrangement.

It's like how there are more arrange of Bloom Nobly compared to Border of Life proper, or Cosmic Mind compared to Sky Dream, or Necrofantasia and Necro Fantasy, etc.
Since they're somewhat synonymous, the circles who produce less stricter arrangements and only arrange the melodies (like, a majority of them) may prefer arranging the
more popular version, or the one they see as the more "authentic" version.
Again, maybe.
