Reminiscence

"Reminiscence" arrived during the Pump It Up Prime era, composed by MAX. It debuted in the Japanese edition with the 1.06.0 update on October 23, 2015, and was rolled into the international version a few days later, on October 29, with the 1.10.0 update. The song is an arrangement of "Magic Shop of Raspberry," an unreleased Touhou Project composition, and is regarded as the second Touhou arrangement by a Korean composer to appear in a commercial rhythm game. Its vocals are believed to come from the VOCALOID Megpoid library.

The BGA, with visuals by MiLa, features characters that clearly evoke familiar Touhou figures, though their designs differ from the originals in several deliberate ways. The lead character is named Kumi; her companion was never given an official name. True to the title, the BGA tells a story of longing, with Kumi mourning a friend who has passed away. As a treat for attentive listeners, the interlude slips in a melody borrowed from another classic Touhou theme.

In Single, the song spans S3, S6, S10, S16, and S18. The hardest Single first appeared as a level 17 but, thanks to a dense build of twists and bursts that played harder than its label, it was bumped up in XX. The Double set covers D10, D17 (added in Prime 2 as a softer take on the D19), and D20, a chart that hands out plenty of hold notes but lays heavy hip twists and weight shifts throughout, ending in a punishing finish that is tough to break-on; it climbed to D20 in PHOENIX. The two-player Co-Op by NIMGO leans on a recurring gimmick: the 1P and 2P skins keep swapping, demanding constant readjustment. The Performance charts DP3 (by UYAB) and the quadruple DP23 (by AEVILUX, with a branching left/right chart selection) were both removed in PHOENIX when Performance charts were retired. A Quest Zone exclusive D23 ("EXC's Remini goyle"), adapted from the Gargoyle D23, also existed and was widely felt to play above its rated level.
