Recorded on a real SC-88Pro. ® ZUN / 上海アリス幻樂団
Years ago, ZUN's site had a page called "東方幻想的音楽", where MIDI files made for the Roland SC-88Pro could be downloaded for free. Between 1999 and 2001, ZUN posted arrange versions of many PC-98 Touhou Project tracks and arranged the entire Seihou Shuusou Gyoku OST. He also posted the Torte Le Magic OST and 6 tracks known as "ZUN's Strange Works". They only sound as intended on this module.

The PC-98 arrangements include select tracks from 東方靈異伝 ～ The Highly Responsive to Prayers (Touhou 1), 東方封魔録 ～ the Story of Eastern Wonderland (Touhou 2), 東方夢時空 ～ Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream (Touhou 3), 東方幻想郷 ～ Lotus Land Story (Touhou 4) and 東方怪綺談 ～ Mystic Square (Touhou 5). Please don't call these "remix" or "remastered". These words don't mean what you think they do!

ZUN's comment:

Thank you for downloading this song.

This is "Peaceful Romancer" from Mystic Square.

Since the song was too different, too, I was eventually had it reworked again.

At the end of the day, this song was my last in composing using FM sound. This is actually where I was going to seal my Doujin activities by the mark of this song, but no matter what I do, I could not wash my hands clean (^ ^;


Since it would have been the last, I was enthusiastically working myself for composing a bright and Eastern song, (^^;; but the arrange ended up with a dark feeling of sadness and apathy. (song was not bright after all)

Anyways, this is a finale ending song where Touhou Project itself lowers its curtains, and is quite emotional. Yes, it's true that this song is quite sad that so few people will ever get to hear it since it cannot be heard unless Extra Stage is cleared (^^;


Well then, let us meet again in the next song, shall we? ZUN

このたびは、ダウンロードしていただきありがとうございます。

東方怪綺談より【 Peaceful Romancer 】です。

あまりにも別の曲になりすぎたので、結局もう一度作り直してしまいました。

なんと言っても、私はこの曲を最後にＦＭ音源で作曲をしていません。 事実上この曲を最後に私の同人活動も封印したつもりだったんですが、足を洗えぬ ものよのう(^^;


当時この曲は、最後だから明るくて軽快で東洋風な曲を創ろう、と意気込んで、結局 明るくならなかった曲ですが(^^; 、アレンジではどこか切なさすら感じてしまう様な 暗めの曲に仕上げました。

とにかく、これは東方Project そのもののエンディング曲の様な物で感慨深いですね。 もっとも、エキストラステージクリアしなければ見れない、という見た人少なそうな なかなか寂しい曲ですが(^^;


ではまた次の曲で逢いましょうか　ＺＵＮ
