Overview
Doll Judgment is a brisk, jazz-infused arrangement drawn from two themes of 東方妖々夢 (Perfect Cherry Blossom), the stage 3 theme "ブクレシュティの人形師" and the stage 3 boss theme "人形裁判～人の形弄びし少女", both tied to the character Alice Margatroid. The original composition is by ZUN (Team Shanghai Alice), arranged by the doujin artist Nuruhachi (ぬるはち). Nuruhachi first released the track in 2012 and later produced a remastered version for inclusion in SEGA's rhythm game maimai as part of the MiLK edition on May 8, 2018. The extended remaster, titled "Doll Judgment -Glittering Magic-", is available as a video on YouTube and niconico. At 230 BPM, the arrangement pairs the recognizable melodic lines of the original Touhou themes with lively piano runs and brisk percussion, giving the track a bright, driven character. Within maimai, the MASTER chart was designed by はっぴー at level 13+ (constant 13.8) and is known for dense slide patterns that match the unrelenting tempo, while the EXPERT chart by 某S氏 offers a slightly more measured but still demanding 12.1 experience. Doll Judgment was also carried over to CHUNITHM AMAZON PLUS and オンゲキ SUMMER, making it a multi-title Touhou staple across SEGA's rhythm game lineup.
