Wow, another rhythm game with Touhou music? That looks quite surprising to us and Konami had already contacted the sole creator of the Touhou franchise which might be an awesome opportunity. This isn’t the first rhythm game that has the Touhou music in the arcades. The previous one is the MGG series by Taito in which this was not the first time Taito had collaborated with ZUN. The first time Taito had collaborated with him took us back to the early 2000s via Graffiti Kingdom for Playstation 2 where you can use some Touhou character which had made the cameo appearance but you can use that game to model other Touhou characters in the better way as it allows you to model whatever character you want. Also, you have to define the emotions, attacks, poses etc. for the custom characters. This which is Touhou X Sound Voltex is what Konami took their opportunity to take some Touhou music on their own accord while contacting ZUN for some permissions as if he was already surprised on his Twitter account. That was after IOSYS, Sound Holic, etc. had contributed by adding their original songs and previous remixes to IIDX Lincle and this as well. Remember the Bad Apple black and white shadow art video? It was previously added to Taito’s MGG series and it is now in Sound Voltex Booth. Perhaps that is one of the most popular Touhou remixes so far. Other two remixes may include the remixes of UN Owen Was Her by IOSYS and Sound Holic. The one by IOSYS may have some reference to Second Heaven like you’re throwing out the party at the concert or so.
Bravos to Konami for this contribution but is there a reason not to HAVE the Bemani remixes of Touhou music instead? Nice flavor from Konami after doing good contributions to IIDX Lincle and Sound Voltex, IOSYS and Sound Holic. Hopefully, you two circles should be putting your own new songs to IIDX Tricoro one day.
