Both arrangements are now available for your enjoyment. Notably, Temmie Chang, animator, illustrator, developer, and lead artist from Undertale, has beautifully illustrated Toby Fox’s latest composition.

Experience a rhythm-based action game where you dance through bullet storms synchronized to the music, evading enemy fire. Discover why Gensokyo is crumbling as you join Reimu Hakurei and other Touhou heroines in danmaku-style rhythm battles. Switch to Kagura mode for a classic falling notes rhythm gameplay experience, earning points by hitting notes accurately, and tailor the game to your preference with adjustable note designs, speeds, and customizable screen layouts.

As a devoted fan, I embark on an intriguing quest: Unravel the enigma surrounding the catastrophic transformation of the bustling world Phantasia into a delicate orb. In the role of Reimu, I collect fragments of recollections to rejuvenate her dwelling and disclose the facts behind the turbulence. Throughout my journey, I meet cherished Touhou heroines, forming alliances with them to invoke their epic spells in exhilarating Danmaku rhythm battles set to a captivating beat.

I’ve always cherished ZUN creating a cover of one of my tracks, and it’s still surreal that he’s doing it now… Whoa, hold up! It looks like I need to contribute a song as well?!” Toby Fox expressed in a press statement. “In this collaboration, I’ve given Megalovania an extreme makeover, turning it into a cover of Necrofantasia. Some might label it lazy, but honestly, it’s quite cool… Just like Sans or Yukari, so there’s no room for complaints. Oh, by the way, this isn’t related to the song at all, but I must admit, I had some reservations about Sans, a male character, appearing in the predominantly female universe of Touhou. To address that, I dressed him up in women’s clothing. Thanks for understanding everyone. (By the way, I’m not sure if this addresses the issue or not!)

Temmie Chang, lead artist of Undertale, commented, “The tune was incredibly cool and filled me with energy as well as a sense of nostalgia for a time that holds significant meaning to me. It was enjoyable to create these illustrations while continuously playing it. I’m overjoyed about having the chance to draw each of these pieces. If baby Tem had been told she would one day create something for ZUN, her heart would have skipped a beat. Thank you for this opportunity! The Yukari Sans drawing is my favorite piece I’ve ever made.”>
