U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか? (U.N. Owen Was Her?) Remixes
Some of you may or may not know of the popular Touhou song called "U.N. Owen Was Her?" (or U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか? in Japanese). This song was Flandre Scarlet's boss theme and the first Touhou song to gain memetic popularity through means unrelated to Touhou.
Flandre Scarlet (フランドール・スカーレット) "Flandre is the younger sister of Remilia and the "dirty little secret" of Scarlet Devil Mansion. Because of her unstable personality and incredible destructive power, her sister has had her locked up in the basement for nearly 500 years. She knows little about the world outside and until the heroines arrived during the Extra Stage of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil she had had no substantive contact with any humans save Sakuya."Flandre is probably one of the most insane yet simultaneously moe characters to exist in Japanese media to this day. She's the younger sister of Remilia, and has a lot less control than her sibling, hence the reasoning for the information above. She was first shown as the Extra Boss in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
U.N. Owen Was Her? (U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか?) U.N. Owen was her? (U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか?, romanized U.N. Ōen wa kanojo na no ka?) is the music for the extra stage boss (Flandre Scarlet) in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. ZUN's NoteU.N. Owen Was Her? became incredibly popular due to a MAD circulating on the internet from NicoNico Douga, featuring Ronald McDonald doing things in tune to Flandre's theme. You can find that video here. Afterwards, it led to several remixes and MADs following the same habit, anywhere from Yu-Gi-Oh! videos to Miname-ke and Toradora. Background story aside, I made this topic so we could share remixes and MADs of this great song. I'm looking forward to what you all manage to dig up.

Flandre's Theme is really fun and exciting to listen to. There are also some remarkably remixes by the many circles like ALICE'S EMOTION, COOL 'N' CREATE, dBu, SOUND HOLIC...
Though it may not be as popular as Flandre's Theme, I love Kanako's Theme (The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field) and Tsukasa, from Sound Online, did a good job with the arrangement as well the vocal assistance of Aki Misawa ('Fallen Heaven' from the album Trois Bleu) Now for the topic, here a MAD featuring Clannad And here the track, which was used in the video above (Remix by IOSYS) |

In case anyone didn't know, the title is a reference to the Agatha Christie story "And Then There Were None" in which U.N. Owen was the pseudonym of the mysterious person who gathered all the characters in the story and killed them one by one. It's supposed to sound like the word "unknown."

Kanako's theme is great as well, but I'd have to say I prefer Flandre's theme, personally. Maybe because I like Flandre a lot. Quote:

It isn't surprising that this theme got you into Touhou, considering that's what did it for a lot of people, actually.

Even though the focus is not on Flan, this one is still a remix of U.N. Owen (combined with Septette for the Dead Princess), and perhaps the most well-known in-Touhou (ie. excluding McRoll) remix of the composition(s).
Title: Touhou Sweets! ~The Brutal Sisters and Suffering Maid~ (東方スイーツ! ~鬼畜姉妹と受難メイド~ ) Vocal: Itsuki Shion (Sakuya) Komiya Mao(Remilia) Koko (Flandre) [no idea who voices Rumia] Circle: Innocent Key

Another rendition of Flandre's Theme, 'taboo tears you up' by REDALICE from HARDCORE TANO*C, they do have some great stuff. He also runs the circle ALICE'S EMOTION
The track is included in the album 東方萃翠酒酔 (Touhou Suisui Suusuu) by IOSYS. Here, the artist 'kouks' (Website) was responsible for the Flash Animation. He also did the Flash for the track Power of dream. The track is included in the album 東方河想狗蒼池 (Touhou Kasokusochi), as well by IOSYS. REDALiCE included a remixed version of 'taboo tears you up', titled 'taboo tears you up 2008' in another album - SCARLET EYES -スカーレットアイズ- Last edited by KaNa-Kun; 2009-04-14 at 14:41. |

東方スイーツ! ~鬼畜姉妹と受難メイド~
@ whitepearl; That version definitely has great vocals, but it's a bit too upbeat/happy to be my favourite. I prefer the darker renditions.
@ Hisana; Oh, yeah. I don't like those two other nayuta mixes very much, but the first Sayuri one is great. She's another vocalist I hear on Nico a lot and I find that she does a good job. @ KaNa-Kun; REDALiCE mixes are always awesome. IOSYS is actually what got me so interested in Touhou. I think a lot of people were dragged in by the awesome music. Since herbert posted the track for Touhou Sweets, I figured I'd share the flash video for it. Try not to post this on other websites as it's hosted from my blog, thanks~ Touhou Sweets! ~The Cruel Sisters and the Suffering Maid~ | Lyrics // Information

I kinda wondering. Do you guys think it's a good idea to use this or create another thread for Touhou music in general? People started to post touhou MAD's in image thread, maybe it's more fitting to have them posting in Music sub-forum.

Hisana, that Eurobeat remix was pretty hot...just wish the vocals were sung by someone who spoke English as a first language.
Not to take anything away from her singing talents but some of the lyrics were hard to understand, even with karaoke... That "mainstream" version was also nice.

New Topic -> Touhou (東方) Themes // Remixes
Feel free to repost the videos you posted here in the new thread, I think it should be alright. I think a mod can close this thread now that we have a new one...
