Overview
進捗どうですか？ (Shinchoku Doudesuka?, meaning "How's your progress?") is a high-energy Touhou Project denpa arrange track that began in the doujin scene before hopping across multiple arcade rhythm games. The song is an arrangement of 遠野幻想物語 (Tōno Gensō Monogatari), the stage 2 theme from 東方妖々夢 ～ Perfect Cherry Blossom, originally composed by ZUN of Team Shanghai Alice. sumijun of the circle Halozy handled the arrangement and lyrics, while ななひら (Nanahira) of Confetto delivers her signature bright, rapid-fire vocals over a relentless 199 BPM beat.
The track first appeared on IOSYS's 2014 album "はいぱぁ電波これくしょん！ -フリーダム★東方編-", sold at the 博麗神社例大祭 (Reitaisai) convention, and was later re-recorded as a "Halozy Mix" on Halozy's December 2015 album "Bayside Beat". It entered maimai with the MiLK PLUS update on October 2, 2018, and has since been added to sibling SEGA titles CHUNITHM (from CRYSTAL onward) and オンゲキ (from PLUS onward). The maimai version runs a shorter edit than the full arrangement, about 2:05 versus 2:22 elsewhere, with a distinctive interlude inserted before the final chorus re-entry. Its jacket art repurposes footage from the music video created for the song's appearance in KONAMI's BeatStream.
