Overview
Ultimate taste is a high-energy Touhou Project arrangement by ぱらどっと (Para Dot), based on U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか? (U.N. Owen Was Her?), the extra stage boss theme from 東方紅魔郷 (the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil). The track was originally composed for a one-week arrangement contest on niconico in December 2022, written and produced in only three days, and went on to win the Grand Prix award titled 一週間東方アレンジ王 (One-Week Touhou Arrangement King). True to its in-game subtitle "Full Flavor", the song is a genre-hopping medley that cycles through 18 distinct club and electronic music styles, from Hardtek and Frenchcore to Lo-fi HipHop, Drumstep, and Kawaii Future Bass, with BPM fluctuating between 80 and 200 accordingly. This structure is visually reinforced in the official PV, which displays the current genre label and real-time BPM as the track progresses. In maimai, the chart mirrors these rapid tempo shifts, making Ultimate taste one of DX PRiSM's most notable soflan (variable-BPM) tracks. Beyond maimai, the arrangement also appears in CHUNITHM X-VERSE-X and the mobile rhythm game Arcaea.
