Overview
妖精村の月誕祭 ～Lunate Elf is a Touhou Project arrangement featured in maimai MURASAKi PLUS, added on October 17, 2017. The track reimagines "ルーネイトエルフ" (Lunate Elf), the Stage 1 theme of 東方紅魔郷 ～ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, the sixth mainline Touhou game, as a bright, folk-infused piece at 132 BPM. The arrangement was created by どぶウサギ (Dobu Usagi), a circle known for energetic doujin arrangements, and originally appeared on the 2007 album 絶弾奏結界 兎角宴舞曲 courante impromptu. In maimai, the song's MASTER chart (level 13, constant 13.3) was designed by rioN, while the EXPERT chart was handled by 某S氏. Over the course of maimai's version history, the chart levels of 妖精村の月誕祭 ～Lunate Elf have been revised multiple times, reflecting the game's gradual difficulty recalibration: the Advanced chart eventually rose to level 7, the Expert chart to level 10, and the Master chart settled at level 13 after starting at 11+ in MURASAKi PLUS.
