Reviews for "TouHou Hardstyle - Bad Apple"
Damn...
I just got on here to see if there were any Touhou arranges on Newgrounds and never expected to be greeted by this magnificence. This is flipping great. Not only due to the fact that I'm a hardcore Touhou fan, but also because hardstyle is one of my favorite (and I feel extremely underrated) genres. Damn, I must say this is one of the best arranges of Bad Apple I've ever heard. Bravo! Do consider more Touhou arranges in the future. I think you'll find that ZUN is an excellent composer and he has some great work to build off of.
Also reading some of the other reviews on the song I noticed some misconceptions about the source material that, being the hardcore fan of Touhou that I am, I can't help to correct. (You probably don't care, but I can't help but correct it lol.) Anyway the song Bad Apple!, which is used as the source is actually from an old Touhou game on the now defunct PC-98, and I feel one of the best songs from the 5 PC-98 games. Most people are only familiar with the newer Windows games. Most people are also only familiar with Masayoshi Minoshima's vocal arrange of Bad Apple due to the viral video on YouTube. In all honesty that song is rather mediocre, but the video itself is excellent.
Dude...
I don't think it'd hurt at ALL to look at some more Touhou tracks. I like a lot of your hardstyle music, plus what you managed to do with a 90-second song is fantastic. I look forward to your future submissions.
Fuck yes.
I hope to someday become as skilled as you. You've reviewed one of my tracks, noting that the mastering wasn't so great. If you would be so kind as to teach me some tricks, I'd be forever in your debt.
Keep it coming, this was fucking fantastic.
I see ya back again for more, huh?
Ephixa spitting out traxx that we all love-
Same story as 2009, eh? ;)
Love your simple tracks, especially the intro, reminded me a bit of Summer of Hardstyle by Proppy & Heady
And you made a really nice climax, for once, i've actually thought they were more or less... boring. Of course, you did have songs that simply just... IMO were launched through my mind, ending in endless euphoria. Like Welcome To Twilight. Damn, i've listened just since it came, and im not tired of it.
Or... Imma let you guess this one:
This is gonna raise his blood pressure!
Love that one. Simplicity is key pal, and you got it just right.
But i thought you got a contract? Shouldn't this be out on that... Empire Traxx, wasn't that the name you told me?
In any case, keep up the good work James, you're bound to become big.

I decided not to in the end because of contract conditions
