IN Extra Stage Theme: Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim (Re-Extended)

This is the Extra Stage theme from Touhou 8: Imperishable Night

I actually love the original theme; but arrangements of this theme that I like are hard to come by.

Touhou Wiki has updated their translation of the name to Person of Hourai, rather than Hourai Victim. Personally I still prefer the latter, so I'm gonna keep it.

The last extra stage where the player character could actually talk to the midboss !

I'm trying to play IN's extra stage, but this one phoenix keeps kicking my ass

[HaruTH]

that fairy before fight with mokou ... 

[CodenameHockhead]

IMHO, this is a criminally underrated Touhou song. Probably one of my top 10 Touhou songs.

"The Full Moon drives people mad" It sure drove me mad alright xD

[theanti-person]

This - sad Mokou
Immortal Smoke - angry Mokou
Bamboo Forest in Flames - happy/joyful Mokou
Unknown X - full insane Mokou

"I've been waiting for you."
"Challenging me on the full moon? You have guts."

"I won't let you lay a finger on her!"

1:45 Utakata, Kimi mo you da furete kowasanu you ni setsuna, ai no mahoroba mimamoru yo

[Fishnberg]

1:44 For some people, this is why your here

After loving touhou for 14+ years and listening to countless remixes and vocals, this is STILL my favorite track. It's like a tragic story being sung, yet the zunpets are so loud and in your face. It's aggressively sad, as if someone was preforming a beautiful dance with tears in their eyes.

Oh dear god how did I forget this O_O

According to Zun: "...I took Extend and Extended it."

So at the beginning it was a piece of music.
Zun extended.
Zun extended it again. (Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim)
ScarletFlameFlandre extended. (First 10-minute video.)
ScarletFlameFlandre extended it again. (this one)

History sign {Hakutaku's Quadruple Extension}

ZUN's comment about the track:
"This is the Extra Stage theme.
It's kind of relaxed for one, huh?
It feels like a test of courage that wouldn't scare anybody. (No, it doesn't.)
I'm actually a little unsure about it, but it's extended. I collected E, X, T, E, N and D and extended it. (Note: Reference to Bubble Bobble and other games that used similar 1-up methods.)"

1:44 to 2:10

I just love that part :)

[ruins.]

Such an eerie stage. The ominous full moon, truly complete, gazing upon the player between the bamboo trees, as everything just vanishes under multiple occasions. It fits quite well with a game like this.

[Itz_Sophia]

This theme is underrated. It's my favorite stage theme.

[melodywhispersong]

I played through the main game and unlocked extra mode on easy. What a rude awakening I got from the stage. The faries are harder than keine and mokou

[Near]

This theme takes the prize for the best theme of IN in my opinion

[BrayPlaysNindo]

Best song in the franchise in my opinion.
