Hello, friends! If there's one thing the Touhou Project is known for besides all the bullets... and the huge cast of lolis... and that insane fandom... and, uh, well, if there are several things Touhou is known for, one of them is music. Even if you've never gotten within fifty feet of the games, there's a good chance you've had
Marisa Stole the Precious Thing worming into your brain at some point. Or been
McRolled. (Note: Links do note lead to memes, but rather to much
better things.)
But there's way more to it than memes! Touhou does indeed have a lot of delightful tunes... quite a lot. But don't take my word for it; I think we all know what you're here for. With some nigh-useless help from my beloved castmate, I've prepared a few quick highlights -- both in download form and in youtube-as-a-makeshift-jukebox form, for those of you who care more about laziness than sound quality. (I know I would!)
And, of course, a
complete download package!

...As a sidenote, MediaFire gave me an error on one of these uploads, but didn't specify what kind or which one. So, uh, lemme know if something's broken. Anyway! With at most two songs per game, we've only scratched the surface here. And that's not even beginning to approach the kazillions of remixes that exist! So you totally haven't seen the last of me. In the meantime, if you're interested in more,
this is a decent source, although the quality sometimes varies. Oh well.
