Overview
リスペク風神 (Respec Fuujin) is a Touhou Project arrangement by the COOL&CREATE duo ビートまりおとまろん, beatMARIO (vocals and lyrics) and MARON (arrangement), based on the Stage 4 boss theme "Mysterious Mountain" (妖怪の山 ～ Mysterious Mountain) from 東方風神録 ～ Mountain of Faith. The title fuses "リスペクト" (respect) with "風神" (wind god), using the gamer shorthand "respec" to capture the song's playful, affectionate attitude toward the game's cast of gods, youkai, and shrine maidens. Originally released on the doujin album 諏訪大信仰 (Suwa Grand Faith, 2019), the track was added to maimai でらっくす FESTiVAL PLUS on March 23, 2023, as part of the Touhou Project category. The lyrics zip through a humorous tour of Mountain of Faith's characters, from the autumn sisters' baked-potato stand to Suwako's frog motifs and Kanako's Onbashira festival antics, set to MARON's driving arrangement of ZUN's original melody. The accompanying PV was produced by UNE/普透明度. The Master chart, designed by Jack at level 13+ (constant 13.7), stands out for its dense 855-note count with a generous 87 Touch notes woven into the pattern, while the Expert chart by みそかつ侍 (level 10+, constant 10.6) offers a mid-tier challenge with a Slide-heavy structure.
