[作業用BGM] 広有射怪鳥事　～ Till When? [東方妖々夢:5面ボス]

ひろありけちょうをいること
Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?
強敵＋幼さを曲で表現してみたつもりです。 一番ボスっぽい曲かも。ギターを使いつつも、はなから、ロックを諦めています（笑） このサビのメロディは妖怪を彷彿させます。

I tried to give the impression of both "A Tough Opponent" and "Childishness" with this theme. Perhaps this is the most boss-like theme in this game. While it uses guitar, I gave up trying to make it sound like rock music almost immediately. The hook's melody resembles the youkai.

Notes: This theme is named after the same chapter included in the twelfth volume of Taiheiki.
The title is spelt ひろありけてうをいること ("Hiroari keteu wo iru koto") in historic spelling system, and read as it would be ひろありけちょうをいること ("Hiroari kechou wo iru koto").

In this story, an ominous bird that cries "Itsumade, itsumade" (いつまで、いつまで) appears and frightens the people of Heian. They interpreted it that the bird was the embodiment of sorrow of epidemic disease widespread those days, repeating an evil spell "Till when (do we bodies remain left on the roads)?"; the phrase "itsumade" has been interpreted into "till when?" (何時まで？ itsu made?). ZUN jokingly translates it into English.

"Jokingly" is, in fact, ambivalent in this case. There are some ideas about what ZUN implies for it. For example: (1) "Till when (does the same pattern of melody repeat again and again from the first)?"; (2) "Till when (does winter remain in this story)?". And other people think that Youmu and Yuyuko are roling "Itsumade" and "the body"; Youmu made a big incident to inform protagonists that the source of it was a suffering dead body.
