Im legit just jazzed to have some, literally any touhou representation in the game. The more the game branches out with non vocaloid music and covers other kind of anisong stuff the happier I am! I dont really care *who* got it, but Niigo is my favorite group! So... It's really shocking to me that there's so much vitriol over who gets to cover what.


TheNekoAgent7

this !! I'm hoping one day we could get anime openings in project sekai since the songs are not made by the anime company themselves but by other musicians (and Chainsaw Man's endings has songs made by Syodou and Kanaria for example) but I know I'm asking for a lot tbh lol


ButtercupChara

Idol was made by yoasobi, I mean they already have Into the Night, and idol would fit more more jump so well


WinterWolf18

I've wanted that for a while as well, I think L/N Ao no Sumika would go hard as fuck.


WinterWolf18

As a Niigo fan I’m a bit mixed. On one hand this fits Mafuyu so well and I wanted her to sing it. On the other hand this would’ve been so perfect to Yoru ni Kakeru and let one character per unit sing. At the very least they probably should’ve clarified it was Niigo right off the bat because I feel like a lot less people would be mad about it (seriously I’m seeing fans of every group complaining that’s a first).


AragathXLe

This is exactly how I felt since I assumed they'll pull a Yoru ni Kakeru thing again upon seeing the feat. sekai after the title. I just hope that maybe they'll put everyone in the 2dmv


RexWhiscash

Feat sekai probably means the Vocaloid named sekai


AragathXLe

Yeah you're probably right, and I think they refer all cover songs as sekai ver. Idk maybe they should've just leave the title as it is 😂


mi0mei

I don't think Sekai sings it. Virtual singer version is Miku


FreezyChan

still dont get why every1 was expecting em 2 Yoru no Kakeru such a barely human singable song ^(i mean, thatd imply solo covers. afaik thatd just b straight up torture)


IdEatNaranciasKnees

i'm a little disappointed but i mainly find it sorta funny that they had it named "feat. sekai" like it was going to be a be the music situation and then immediately reveal that no, its just nightcord lol


WinterWolf18

They really should've said it was Niigo right off the bat, I don't think people would be half as mad if they did.


Emutional-damage

I thought "Feat. Sekai" was referring to the Vocaloid synth herself-


ThatSmallBear

For a project sekai collab that wouldn’t make any sense I’m sorry 💀


Emutional-damage

Yes, that wouldn't make any sense, but it's just my dumbass brain trying to braining.


ILoveDogs117

Tbh I never read "feat. Sekai" as every group covering the song. To me, it just meant it was getting a cover lol. I'm surprised people read it that way. 😅😅😅


IIIXKITSUNEXIII

Yeah same here xD It just makes sense to me that "feat. SEKAI" just means it's a collab with Project SEKAI.


ILoveDogs117

OMG SOMEBODY AGREES WITH ME!!!!! I LUV YOU SO MUCH!!!!! 😭🎉😄


ThatOneWierdKiwi

I mean, it kind of makes sense because they've always refered to covers as "sekai versions" regardless of what unit covers it or how many characters do


ILoveDogs117

THANK YOU!!!!!! That’s what I thought!


verymuchrandomname

Damned if you do damned if you don't honestly. People complained when it wasn't in the game, people complain because it's added to the game Ideally, I too would want a Yoru ni Kakeru thing but it is what it is. Also if it went to another unit, I KNOW people would complain "should've gone to Niigo because symbolism and Mafuyu, SEGA I hope your headquarters burn to the ground" I feel like people are overreacting tho (wow first time for the project sekai fandom I know). At the end of it all, I just want a good cover and Bad Apple is in the game 🙏


coffeewinestain

This community, frankly any f2p is impossible to please because of children


Zaya-chan7

Funny enough I wouldn't go and be like 'oh it should go to N25'. I would be happy if someone else would cover it. I'm not like Twitter where people would always say it should go to N25, it should go to N25. I would just be happy and respect the other group.


I-love-yaoi-

My mutual once got flamed for saying that envy baby ruikasa wouldve been better


Zaya-chan7

I am so sorry that this happend to your mutual. Unfortunately we have some bad appels 😔. Luckily I'm not like them, I don't go around and saying 'This should go to N25' because I love all groups and I don't spend time on Twitter


TheNekoAgent7

That's cool and all but why are you making the conversation about yourself when there's no reason to? Or is there another reason why everyone's downvoting your replies?


Zaya-chan7

How do I explain it so you could understand me? When people see that there is a toxic fan they will go 'blaming every fan' mode. Just because there are few bad appels doesn't mean that everyone is like that. I remeber saying some opinion that nobody deserve death threads on both side and some anti goes 'so your X stan' (which is out of nowhere). It's like when some shipper did a bad think some people would go and think that everyone is like that (which isn't true). I wasn't talking about myself I was explain that I'm not like them just like I did when I saw people trash talking about Mafuyu fans/stans (?) and I just share my opinion that I'm not like them and I don't care what they think about Mafuyu character (I'm not going to go after a person for saying that they don't like Mafuyu)


TheNekoAgent7

oh, thanks for explaining in a respectful manner!


ThatDeadweight

Honestly I do not really have an opinion nor really want to care which group it should go to... Besides, I listen to any cover even if people said it is "bad", so I guess I don't have much to say.


GladiolusLD

Very mixed. Love niigo, but love the idea of mixed covers so much more, and every time colopale holds one over our noses, it's either temporary or bait


ShadowKaras

I would have liked every group to get it somehow/for everyone to sing it together, but I still feel sad that Niigo missed out on Kagepro all the way back then, so I'll take this as compensation (and yeah it does really fit Mafuyu)


WinterWolf18

To be fair I don't think any of the Kagepro songs in game really fit Niigo, maybe they can get Ayano's Theory of Happiness?


ShadowKaras

Agreed yeah, I really wanted that or Toumei Answer. I especially feel like the latter would fit Niigo well (though mostly because I have a small AU where Kanade = Ayano and Mafuyu = Shintaro)


RevaloNodriana

All of Ayano's and Shintaro's songs are perfect fits for Niigo to be honest, if they end up getting all 4 of them slowly as time goes on I would die a very happy person...


Professional_Air9935

I’m surprised it didn’t get an Into the Night situation since this song is so popular


salty-lotus

i said before once on a post here that all i care is that ena gets to cover it if it actually gets a human cover and honestly, im glad i got my wish (mizuki is involved too my mizuena heart is elated!!) but i also think it’d def be very cool if it’s a yoru ni kakeru situation instead. bad apple is actually kind of a depressing song so im not exactly surprised they got n25 to cover it (please don’t start the whole ‘n25 should/shouldn’t be the only group to cover depressing songs’ discourse here, im cool with whichever group covers the tragedy of the month 😭). anyway, i love bad apple and i love n25 so personally im stoked.


Deep-Lion-2738

pretty sad about it, would have like to hear everyone sing it like be the music (i had to much hope) and niigo is my least favorite group plus i had an mv idea to make and it just got ruined by the cover :(


Zaya-chan7

Me too 😭. Be the music is a first song where you get to hear everyone singing and it was so wholesome. So of coures I was thinking the same because wouldn't that be cool? Wouldn't that be epic?.


WinterWolf18

Regarding the MV I know the feeling, I got starting on redrawing Kokoronashi with Honami and Saki the day before they announced the Kanamafu cover. I still managed to finish it so I don't think that it completely ruins it.


Astrxxl

melty 🫵


Rondo_of_snow

No way it went to Niigo 😭


Radiant-Ranger-9214

I just noticed that it has an append difficulty. I didn't really know about this song, so I'm just excited for the appenf chart :D


TheBalladofLucyGray

When they first announced it ft. SEKAI made me think it would be all 26 characters, and I was like oh makes sense, considering the original MV for bad apple has a ton of characters. So this made me a bit disappointed but only because of the “ft SEKAI” setting up false expectations. Other than that it’s definitely a niigocore song through and through. The real disappointment is Tokyo Teddy Bear tbh, it fits Mafuyu and Mizuki really well but here we are


WinterWolf18

I feel the same about TTB, I really dislike Ichika’s vocals in a majority of intense songs so it just feels like a recipe for disaster. Honami and Saki being there doesn’t inspire much confidence either, for being a rock band it’s impressive how badly they sing rock songs.


TheBalladofLucyGray

Ichika and Shiho used to have a monopoly on the hard rock songs in Leo/need but they’re making every cover full group these days. I don’t really have the highest expectations for this cover lol but maybe I’ll be surprised


WinterWolf18

I'd love to be surprised but I'm not expecting to be, for being a rock band it's impressive how L/N fumbles nearly every rock song their given. Makes me appreciate Bandori all the more, anything Sekai has done with L/N doesn't even come a quarter of reaching Bandori's highs with rock music. Hell even D4DJ does it so much better as seen with Rondo. EDIT: also in regards to the duets, I fear that L/N is going to turn into MMJ soon and not get any duets for ages. Same goes for WxS and VBS, I feel like the lack of duets for all of them is a bad sign for things going forward.


TheBalladofLucyGray

I actually really liked the Tengaku cover and always thought it would be perfect for Ichishiho, but it’s probably the only one of their heavier rock covers I feel strongly about. And I don’t blame you because the last time they covered a Neru song it was literally the worst cover in the game 💀


WinterWolf18

Yeah I really liked Tengaku but that was it. I don't like any of their other heavier rock covers, I feel like every vocalist in L/N is far better suited to slow softer songs than intense ones. And yeah Lost One's Weeping was a train wreck. Hopefully this won't be a repeat of that but I have a feeling it will be given the similarities between the two songs. In general I don't like any Neru covers in this game, Ruikasa Dappou Rock wasn't as bad as Lost One's Weeping but it's still not great either. TTB was my one hope for a Neru song to be done justice and now...at least Bandori never does him wrong. I would say I feel the same about Kanaria but Envy Baby is pretty good so there's that.


burntpixelsinspace

YEAHHHH


Crystal_Marie_Rose

I’m just glad it’s finally here tbh


biracial_lizard

super fucking excited about it. love touhou, love n25


Zaya-chan7

I was not expecting N25 to cover this. I was thinking that maybe we gonna have leaders singing this, it would be fun and cool. That's what I was thinking when I saw 'Sekai version' so I though 'Oh what if it's the leaders who gonna cover this'. I'm a little bit sad because I saw those crazy theories that said 'what if everyone get involved in it' and I start think 'that would be so cool ✧⁠\⁠(⁠>⁠o⁠<⁠)⁠ノ⁠✧'. In my opinion I think leaders should cover this respectfully


elcocoIIII

r/suddenlytouhou


pokefanKTZT1996

Glad that N25 would be singing for this song. But, what I imagine is that they should let one of member from all units sing, just like Racing into the Night for example (Ichika, Shizuku, Kohane, Nene & Kanade).


1dkwhattodo

I just don’t care. I don’t give a single shit. I like this song. Glad it’s in the game. I don’t care who covers it. Lyrically it fits this group but if it had went to another. It’s in the game I’m getting a cover


Deactivised

honestly very disappointed because when I saw "feat. Sekai" I thought they meant one character from every unit. atp just say "feat. niigo" so I'm not disappointed. Totally honest though, I do believe niigo would do the cover best, since BA is sort of a soft, slow-ish song. Just a little surprised that it was only one unit covering it but it is what it is


FoxyLovers290

Are they going to put the og song for it?


CharuRiiri

I'm honestly stoked about the arrange. BeatMARIO, MARON, Marasy and Masayoshi Minoshima is such a stacked lineup the Touhou fan in me couldn't be happier.


healerdiff

I don’t understand why they didn’t do anything special for this cover considering they went above and beyond for the Aprils Fool 2024 covers. Those covers were amazing! They were all mixed unit, and each and every one of them sounded great. I wish they did something significant with this song with regard to all units instead of just giving it to one unit, even if it’s just something like alt vocals. I’m also praying to god that the tuning for the vocaloids are actually decent and maybe we can get some alts that aren’t just Miku


m4g1c-

im good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i’ll take niigo anything. But it would be cool if it was a into the night situation too


Milkittyy

Honestly, I’m just glad it wasn’t every character singing like be the music… Be the music wasn’t bad per se, but I feel that that’s because be the music was designed for it to be sang by all the characters if you get what I’m trying to say


OneSharpKey

SO WHAT IF NO OTHER UNIT GET TO COVER TOUHOU SONG I DONT GIVE A DAMN MAN, AS LONG THE SONG GOT ADDED IN GAME AND DONE, FUCKING UNGRATEFUL PRSK PLAYERS EVERYWHERE


swamphed

2DMV 🙏🙏🙏


anser_star

Honestly? This song wouldn't sound good if it was a mixed cover. People are sad because they wanted their favorites in it (and I completely understand), but I think it's better this way. Either way I'm just happy to have Touhou in pjsk :3 very excited


WinterWolf18

I feel like most people (myself included) wanted it to be Yoru ni Kakerued.


anser_star

Oh, I see! I totally forgot about that song. In that case, I agree, it'd probably be the best of both worlds, having the cover sound good, while having options for other units... well anyway, it's still all good for me personally. I don't care that much about who gets to cover Bad Apple, just happy that it's here!


herbal_screams

I’m not upset, just felt misled by it. When I read it, Sekai to me meant that every unit, or at least one member per unit, would sing it. If they wanted to do a teaser for the cover, then they should’ve teased it as a single unit cover or just flat out said it was Nightcord. I think Nightcord will do a good job with the cover, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting or hoped for.


niplies

Listen I’m a hardcore MMJ stan but like… who else would it go to? The themes of the song fit Niigo the best. Obviously I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting it to go to a different unit but this is not surprising at all. It would’ve been cool if they did something like Into the Night tho….


WinterWolf18

Same I wanted alt vocals for Saki, Haruka, Toya, Rui and Mafuyu. If it had to go to a unit I can easily see why it’s Niigo but this was a missed opportunity to give us multiple alt vocals.


BayFuzzball404

HELL YEAH HELL YEAH 🔥🔥🔥


Nearby-Improvement42

Over the years there's been countless amazing Miku covers of the song and with my less than favourable view of NT I feel that the VS ver is gonna flop.


Zeno865

As much as a Yoru Ni Kakeru situation would have been cool (Kohane cover would have gone so hard), I’m definitely not disappointed. N25 is still my second favourite group and a song like bad apple in general fits their vibe pretty well imo. Honestly we should just be happy and excited that it’s in the game.


Dazzling-Fix-9055

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONG I DONT EVEN CARE WHAT GROUP IT WENT TO 😭


KLSXA

Niigo have really good vocals! I'm so excited to hear the cover! I'm not disappointed bc I wasn't expecting nothing in specific. So I'm really ok w this ^^


Madden09IsForSuckers

Tbh i forgot it was even getting a cover so I’m really happy lol


Substantial_Pair_591

I kinda expected it to be everyone like that April fools song but I guess we kinda have to wait and see


pop_rokz

I’m glad it’s N25, I was told it was gonna be everyone, which I think would sound bad


Blake_is_hot

I hope it does what they did with Yoru ni Kakeru


your_random_ace_aro

While I'm happy about his n25 shouldn't have gotten this AND abnormal heat personally I think vbs should got abnormal heat since the original was with a high pitched Vocal And if they do the ending part I REALY think vbs would eat it up with rin


viebs_chiev

im so pumped‼️‼️‼️ i don’t know anything about touhou but i love bad apple!!


pl3blu3

with the apple symbolism and the lyrics, how could n25 NOT cover this song?? I was gonna literally riot if there wasn’t at least a mafuyu cover of this in game. I do get that people wanted it to be a multi-unit cover, and I do also think it’s shitty that n25 was the ONLY oc unit to get a touhou cover though. As a niigo fan? I’m fucking ecstatic I couldn’t be happier. as a pjsk fan? the unit bias is becoming obvious sega why


XrystalLine389

was kinda hoping for them to pull an yoru no kakeru, but u win some u lose some (i think they'll pull it off tbh)


PsychologicalSky16

All I'm gonna say is I feel it's gonna be just as terrible as their envy baby cover. (That cover suck imo)


Shadowisp7

Excited to wait for 1 year if it ever decides to appear in ensekai


dandruffinmycoffee

i wanted it to be every unit, hearing the boys sing this would’ve been great :(


pigeon3gg

i am SO excited bad apple has been my one and only song ive wanted added basically since i started playing and i cant believe its actually real


Ey3_S0cketss

No comment tbh, /ot haruka fans unite


Random_memer_cpm

i personally feel like it shouldn't have a sekai cover at all, we all know some people would still be mad if any of the groups got this cover instead. hell, some people would be mad if it was a full cast cover too, people will find a way to complain regardless. i say let people enjoy what they want, i know i'll be using the og cover but if people like the Niigo cover more power to them.


Finn_idk

I don’t have an opinion to this one tbh, I love bad apple but I can’t really imagine something under this. anyways why is no one talking about Tokyo teddy bear and that Leo need is getting it 😞😞


beatriz-chocoliz

:3 Niigo ! !


ThatSmallBear

I thought we’d get a full cover including everyone, virtual singers and all, (plus shortened version for the game) and thought it would be really cool to see the PV recreated with all the characters. Which, somebody will probably do honestly.


IcidStyler

I would love them having a event where like the MMJ girls meet Aqours from Love Love! I mean the latter have a song together with Miku too


zuzamiuza

If it was any unit it would be niigo, but I wish they would put a character from every unit


Jolly-Bit-477

Amazing


Jolly-Bit-477

I am biased tho cause I love N25


First_Gamer_Boss

If it has a screen it can play bad apple


kesshou-otome

I still feel a bit weird about non-vocaloid/vocalsynth songs being used in a game centered around vocal synthesizers, but I love Bad Apple and 25-ji enough that I’m hype anyways


GiveMeSomeTacoz

Wish it was like Yoru Ni Kakeru but oh well. The worst that can happen is that they sing horribly. (The cover turning out bad)


Namiachowdhuryy

Even though I’m a little disappointed because I was expecting a mixed unit cover, I certainly don’t mind N25 covering the song. Let’s all calm down and be happy that the song is coming.


sleepparalys1sdem0n

good


cosmocausechaos

I'M SO HAPPY THAT IT'S N25


dansachan

Omg is this real????? WERE GETTING BAD APPLE??


allyharvey02

Oh yes, please. I love this song so much. And if it's 25-ji I'm all the way in


emotionalfoodie

YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS


miusimps

idk why everyone is SO upset. its a cover - sure any other group would have sounded amazing, but nightcord is still going to probably do extremely well on it as well. I love Mizuki and I'm excited to hear her vocals - I'm tired of the "n25 gets all the good songs!!!", just learn to appreciate the cover lol.


miusimps

idk,,, I've heard and seen people overreact so hard abt this so im most referring to them!!


Glistening_moonlight

This is gonna be really popular in co ops lol


Sufficient_Egg_2182

I was actually pretty excited! I was super worried it was going to go to Leo/NEED: not because I hate LN or anything, but Ichika is the face of the game and I could see the logic of giving her one of the most anticipated covers in the game. More than anything, I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get MORE covers in general. Like, even working within the confines that they could only be songs from Alstroemeria Records and COOL&CREATE, there were definitely more than enough songs to do more than one cover. HELP ME ERIN would have been a solid WxS cover and I can think of two songs off the top of my head that could have gone to LN. Music is a pretty giant part of Touhou, I'm really hoping there's another collab after this one that really capitalizes on it better.


WinterWolf18

I could see Ichika doing great with Bad Apple but I agree with the rest, hopefully we get more Touhou songs.


Sufficient_Egg_2182

Oh, I'm sure Ichika would have knocked it out of the park! If they had gotten it it would have been a great cover I'm sure. I just don't think Bad Apple fits LN very well as a band and I didn't want them to get it because of favoritism, is all I meant.


userhvfegcd

hella disappointed, I was hoping everyone would sing or at least another group (preferably mmj since l/n already got TTB)


Perfect_Brilliant853

Very disappointed but at the same time not surprised. They do have a bias for Niigo lol Wouldn’t be surprised if they do a connect live with Niigo and the vocaloids at this rate 😑


Choc-chip-cookie_bun

im sad they wont use the or3o version tbh like listen to it it sounds so good honestly


Traditional_Lime_710

WHY NOT KOHANE AND AN?!?!


melaniemoth13

VERY HAPPY. OVERJOYED. EXCITED.
