I've never played a Touhou game, but I do have a semi-decent amount of knowledge about the franchise. And one thing is that it's OST is consistently awesome. This orchestral cover of this theme makes the character sound both mysterious and powerful, and perfectly fitting for a battle with them, more so given the series' Bullet Hell gameplay. I could see this cover being used in a Mario RPG or a Final Fantasy game as well. It's extremely well done cover of an extremely good battle theme.

I can't tell if the lyrics are just purely about a regretful person's muses and struggles with life, or some optimism and hopes for change in spite of said regrets and struggles. Either case makes it a strong song with a strong message, and the instrumental and vocal work are both great and work in tandem perfectly.

A mysterious and subtle song. While I'm not familiar with the game, to me it sounds like it'd be fitting during an investigation cutscene, befitting a game that was either based around a detective solving mysteries or or perhaps even an Ace Attorney-styled game. Good track!

I mean it's a classic, kind of impossible to truly hate, not something I would listen to outside of Spooky Season though.

not really in season, but I've been listening to this a lot lately.

Not the genre I expected it to be. Some genuinely nice smooth jazz, and it lasts long enough and changes up enough throughout it's runtime that it'd makes for great music to either listen to on your own time, or as background music for anything from studying, driving, eating dinner or just generally listening to in the background. All in all, a great jazz song.
