A misspelling of my nickname, and just repeating the last 3 letters 2 times That's it, really

Oni Kage Pink was ok, the best part for me was the PV for it They absolutely massacred Konngara tho, poor her

How about trying out T98-Next? That's the PC98 emulator that I have been using ever since I first got into Touhou and it's smooth as hell, not to mention that it doesn't have audio problems like Neko 2

1. Daio Ye Zhong - The Second Performance: Curse Deity Hm. I don't know what I feel about this one. It feels very samey, and it didn't stick in my head at all after finishing it. I don't like this type of songs, where the vocals are like that. I don't even know what the original song is here. 4/10 2. C-CLAYS - The moon which was swallowed to a wolf Pretty funky, I like the usage of Japanese instruments. And that square wave lead is pretty nice as well! 8/10 3. UNDEAD CORPORATION - Kushinada-hime Aaah, Undead Corporation. Not my cup of tea, since I don't listen to metal, but they're still neat. I do like the uhh.. I don't actually know what's it called in English, when the main part of the song comes. It has nice vocals there. 6.5/10

I keep forgetting about this 1. Shinra-Bansho - Song of Companion Holy shit, why does this song remind me of Raspberry Heaven (Ending song for Azumanga Daioh)? I'm not complaining tho, this is a very calming song, I like it a lot! 8/10 2. GET IN THE RING - ⑨melodies It's pretty, but it didn't really resonate with me, probably because I don't really listen to stuff like this. 7/10 Shoutout to Tenkko for actually liking Eternal Underworld (とこしえの黄泉) lmao, now I don't feel alone in this world

1. EastNewSound - Cardiac Sound Oooh, I love this style. There's something about music like this that makes me feel so nostalgic. I'm really bad with word so I don't know how else to explain how I'm feeling But overall, a pretty chill song for me, ironic considering that it's probably supposed to be energetic and stuff! But tbh, it didn't really stuck with me now that I finished listening it, but I do like the rising "chords". But if it did get into my Youtube mix playlist, I wouldn't skip it. 8/5 3. Noah - The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky Bleh... Not a big fan of metal overall, and I have a feeling that PCB Stage 4 theme is the last song that needs a metal arrangement, it's too calm for metal. Also repetitive. 4.5/10 2. MA.S ATTACK - Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's Kappa Okay, I won't rate this one, which is why I put it the last here. I LOVE ambient music, this one is perfect. When I heard it in Megafrog's Iceberg video, I was hooked from the start. I can imagine myself walking around my town at night, where there is no one outside (since my town is small). This one has a sense a mystery imo, the ending part is especially my favorite, where Nitori's theme shines through, and the bass gets more prominent. Absolute perfection, it's like the cherry on top for me. Also... Well now I gotta try this out.

Sorry for being late!! 1. C-CLAYS - Rest in Dark Night ..This is an Oriental Dark Flight arrangement? ODF is one of my fav Marisa themes, but this sure as hell didn't sound like ODF to me. It's energetic, yes, but... Idk.. I don't like the style of it at all... And this is coming from someone who likes speedy music and stuff like that. This didn't resonate with me at all. 3/10 2. Virus Key - 氷精たちの踊り Uuuoooh... I like this a lot hehe I used to listen to a lot of classical music when I was little, so this feels quite nostalgic. I love waltzes in general, so this was a treat i should learn minute waltz by schopen still Absolutely amazing, it's so nice and relaxing to listen to 10/10 3. O-Life Japan - Dawn Sky of the Myouren Temple This one is also amazing, I already like O-Life Japan because of TLW, but this was just incredible. Upbeat, but magnificent, maybe just like Byakuren herself eh? Anyways, another easy 10/10, I'm so entranced by this...

1. Tsubaki - Artemis Wept Oohh, those bells at the beginning~ They sound really nostalgic. Oh man, I really did not expect that this is gonna be a death metal-esque? song, especially those male vocals. I expected to song to be kinda chill, with female vocals, of which I was only right about the latter. It's a unique song, I like it, but ig the death metal vocals kind of dilute the song for me? I don't really like them. I like how the song sounds wintery tho, and the female vocals are amazing. 7.5/10 2. Lycoris - Hammersmith in the Sky Alrighty, time for this one.. I'll write the review as I'm listening to it. Ooooh yeah, rock. I really like this so far. The slow intro, the 4 by 4 beat, the bass. It has a cozy feeling! And then the Greenich theme hit with the organ sounding instrument. Real nice! The phasers are awesome as well ehehehe I just wish it kinda changed in structed, and not stayed similar. But the mental image the song gives me is great! A recording studio with red and orange colors, pretty cozy! 8/10 3. MA's ATTACK - Hartmann's Youkai Girl Hah, I kept giggling through all your comments about this song , but I do kinda admit that maybe it's weird to post this in a remix tournament? Idk /shrug Anyways, how do I rate this without being biased, since it's one of my fav Touhou arranges? I really like this song, it reminds me of some Silent Hill tracks, the one that especially comes to mind is "Alone in the Town", from Silent Hill 2. I guess that it can get a bit repetitive, but to me, what I like to do with an ambient song is just put it in the background while drawing, or hanging out. There are rare time where I do put this to *actively* listen to it, and it's usually when it's snowing or like in 2 in the morning , so yeah. It's a very nostalgic sound for me, ever since I knew about myself, I'd love songs that are like this. Now to grade it... hm. Well, as I'm trying to stay unbiased, and judge it as if it's my first time listening to it, I'd rate this one also an 8/10, or maybe an 8.5/10. It can get repetitive, like I said, but the sound and feeling is what matters to me the most.

1. Silver Forest - Keep the Faith OOOOOO I like this one a lotttt It sounds really dreamy, but energetic, maybe like being half asleep? But it's really good! I like the vocals, and I especially like the sparkly sounding instrument for the main melody!! It reminds me of old 2000s anime songs! Also that piano is so goooood, aah~ 9.5/10 2. IRON ATTACK! - Sturm und Drang Mmmm... I'm kinda indifferent to this one... It's not really my style. But I do like the use of traditional japanese instruments here! 6.5/10 3. Akatsuki Records - Gray Zone Hello, this is the part where I kill you! -the whole touhou fandom after reading this, probably (i hope someone gets the reference) I see I have met Stack again... hoo boy.. I'll be honest. I do not like a lot of Akatsuki Records songs. I do not like Stack's vocals. But the instrumentals are nice tho. It's a shame really, this song is so funky, it's nice. But I do not like how Stack sounds like she's forcing a certain "persona?" while singing every. single. time. And I don't like how she's trying to "rap"(?) while there's a pause between verses. Even while listening to other AkaRecord songs (that I like btw), it took me a LONG time to actually get to start listening to them without cringing, so there's that... I'm sorry, but I have to give this one a 4/10. I love the instrumental, it's so good, but the vocals are Stack... At least the chorus is okay...

Alright, time to review these 3! 1. KISIDA KYODAN & THE AKEBOSI ROCKETS - Beautiful Diver A really funky arrangement! I like the rhythm it has. The vocals weren't my thing at first, but as the song went on, they grew on me. The only real complaint I have is that I wish that the guitars were a bit quiter, and that the piano was louder, but other than that, it was great! 8.5/10 2. Boga - The Doll Maker of Bucuresti (EoSD Arrange) BOOOOOOOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love their arrangements so much! They're awesome! And this one is awesome as well! Doll Maker of Bucuresti is slowly starting to be my favorite Touhou song ever made, so the fact that this arrangement makes it sound like it's from my favorite Touhou game ever makes it even better. Only thing is, it does sound kinda empty to me, compared to EoSD's OST at least, could me just me tho. And I do kinda prefer the original to this. ^^; 9/10 3. TATAMI STUGIWO - Dance of the Poisoned Candy Oooh, holy hell, this one's cool as fuck. There's something so nostalgic about Christmas songs to me, and the fact that this song combines some of the most nostalgic sounding Touhou songs (Komachi's theme, Yuuka's theme) with nostalgic Christmassy songs really hits it home. xd I could imagine myself eating cookies and going out in snow while listening to this. 9.5/10

Damn, I haven't replied to this thread either?? Bruh Anyways, this will be a long list, so prepare xd 1. Sonic the Hedgehog This is one of the first games I ever played, so of course I'm going to love it. I was a Sonic fan since I was 5 years old, so I have been a Sonic fan for 10+ years now. My first ever Sonic game was Sonic Adventure 1, and since then, I was hooked xd I'm actually mostly a fan of the older Sonic games, from the Classic era to the Dreamcast era, probably because of how much nostalgia I have from playing those games. I used to play tons of Sonic rom hacks too, which is what inspired me to become a programmer!! 2. Yume Nikki While technically not a series because it's only 1 game, Yume Nikki is a very weird experience, but in a very good way. I first played the game back in 2018, but I got too scared and dropped it (oops), but I picked it up again in 2019 and the rest is history. Yume Nikki did kind of get me through 7th grade, I remember it was May/June, I used to listen to Yume Nikki's music (which were just like what, 10 second loops?) and some Yume Nikki remixes while walking around my schoolyard, it was really relaxing and it's so nostalgic thinking about that now... I especially remember listening to this specific video of the ending theme, the image in that video makes me so nostalgic that it hurts... I recommend Yume Nikki to everyone who likes weird and atmospheric games, it's truly an experience! There are also many Yume Nikki fangames, and I played some of them (From the top of my head: Yume 2kki, .flow, Me, Answered Prayers, Uneven Dream). I will be talking about Yume 2kki for a bit as well, since it's the most popular fangame, and it holds somewhat of a special place in my heart. I first played Yume 2kki in July of 2019, so around 2 months after finishing Yume Nikki. A cool (or not cool) thing about 2kki is that it's made by several people who are all collabing on the game, so it doesn't really have a concrete style. The music in that game is great as well, so many ambient and catchy tracks to choose from! The game is MASSIVE, it took me several weeks to finish it, but it's (somewhat) fun to explore. Also also also.. Considering that it's a collaborative game... I managed to get my drawings in it!!! Another drawing should be added to the game soon as well, however, that drawing was the first ever drawing that I made for this game, so it's quite old (from 2020), but it still looks good! If you decide to play Yume Nikki and the fangames, I recommend to NOT go to the Yume Nikki Online project website, since it's quite buggy imo, so just directly download the game. 3. Celeste Another game that's not really a series but shhhhh Celeste is a really wholesome platforming game that's about Madeline, a woman who climbs both a physical and a metaphorical mountain. The game is hard, but once you get used to the controls, you can glide through the stages really well. The artstyle is amazing as well! I beat the game several times, and I beat Farewell, the 9th chapter which is also the harderst chapter in the game. I also relate to Madeline as well at some parts of the game, and I won't lie when I say that I cried at some dialogue. 4. Portal Finally! A series! Portal is such an amazing game, that it's insane. The gameplay is REALLY fun, the plot (at least in Portal 2) is great and hilarious, I love the characters, I love everything about it. I wanted to play Portal ever since I was a small kid, but it was only this year that I got to play it, and I do not regret it one bit. Portal 2 especially, I did not want that game to end. I love Wheatley, I love GLaDOS, I love Atlas and P-Body... All the characters are so awesome!!! I wish we had combustible lemons... 5. Half-Life Half-Life is rotting my brain and I do not regret it one bit!! Jk, but it's still an amazing game with an amazing plot and characters. The plot actually makes me feel dread when I think about it deeply, and aarghhh there's so much about it that I love!!! Half-Life is also the reason I will be pursuing game art in an university after high school, because looking at Half-Life 2's concept art made me want to cry from how pretty it is xddd Gordon Freeman is a badass, although I do feel poor for the dude, imagine going to work one day only for the world to turn upside down... 6. Doctor Who And now, for a show! I started watching DW in 2020, when the 'rona started, and...........i still haven't finished it heheh But it's a really good series, made me cry, laugh, get angry, it's pretty good! My favorite Doctor is 10, played by David Tennant, and I'm glad that David is also playing the 14th Doctor, but I will always know him as 10, sorry David! xd I have a Tardis shirt and I bought a DW coaster on a con that I went to recently, great show if you like Scifi stuff! Ofc, my interests will change over time, so I'll be sure to edit this post if I remember something!

Oooh, seems fun af, I'll join as well!

Yess I agree so much lol I miss the old Touhou style, especially from The Seihou - Touhou 9 era, it looked warm, fuzzy, nostalgic, handdrawn.... That Seihou Yuuka I posted looks so warm, even the green (which is usually grouped with the cold colors, like blue and purple), looks warm! It's great, I really wish he still had that style, even though the newer one is heaps better.

Oh man, this is a really hard one.. As you probably might know, I am a certified Zun artstyle enjoyer, so this is a really hard question for me ^^; But anything from Touhou 1 to 9.5 is a go to answer for me.. With a few modern games sprinkled throughout. Here are some of my favorites, there's a lot that I like but these ones are really cute!

First of all, let me vent my frustrations AARGAHSGHRGHGDHF I DIDN'T GET EMO MYON GSJHGKASJFLKSDJLF I WASTED 60GC AFJALSFJAKJSFOAPGHORG Okay, now to actually tell my opinions on this. I am very excited about the minigame, I like how it looks and I could always use some more gameplay modes here. I am also glad that EFes is now sparkable! I sure as hell don't have enough SC for them, but it's still a very nice thing to have. I want Beach Marisaaaaa....... Huh, also, is it just me, or are retros slowing down a bit? I haven't seen them announced in a while.. I do kinda miss them, I like the retros. Also, glad that we will have free prayers, I could really use not spending my SC on stuff xd

I want to cry I want Chimata My seal cubes fell down to 5 last week because of Pache HELP

Honestly, I'd love for TLW to be on Steam, since I'm more on my laptop than on my phone. Chance? Didn't the JP branch announce once that we will be getting PC-98 Rei and Mari? I do agree with this, the main story, while interesting, is kinda hard for me to read. It's not like that I can't understand the words, it's just that I probably can't immediately piece it together in my head, and I need external sources to get it all right. Maybe it's because things happen too fast/too slow. Also, I kinda don't want a collab for TLW... I'd just like for things to stay fully Touhou, What's the point of the costumes then? Apart from making the drop rate bigger for point events. Most of the L1 friends are average, and not worth putting in a team, unless you're doing it for a challenge. To me, this AMA seemed like they want to improve on the game, but also it just seems a bit shady, if you get what I mean.

Oh yeah, the Hourai Shoujos, I like the image of that "adult" looking miko, by the river.

Oh fuck!!! I haven't seen some of these at all! Thank you for sharing these, I love ZUN's old drawings so this makes me incredibly happy. I just wish I knew chinese...

Alrighty, there's a lot of stuff to write, so I'll start with the simplest reply xd I did actually manage to fix the issue! I guess I linked my Twitter account and for some reason, it got fucked up, and it wouldn't work. Maybe it was because back then, my Twitter name was just "kouma" but now I added a "Commissions opened" after it. I just used my email to get the ID and from now on, I'll use that ID to vote. 1. Alice (duh) 2. Meiling (duh) 3. Youmu 4. Marisa 5. Konngara 6. Eiki 7. Kana Anaberal 1. EoSD (duh) 2. 100thBM 3. HRtP 4. MS 5. PCB I'll probably vote for songs too, I just need to see which one I'll pick. Now, for Count's part. First of all, why is Sunny A6??? She's not from EoSD.... Is it because of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAjxo_yB9ek - Sunny Milk's Scarlet Mist Incident, from the CD Strange and Bright Nature Deity Having Momoyo is nice tho. (speaking of the devil, here's sunny milk's intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ik1nFGpmjk) (i hate her voice) Okay, now for the lewd costumes. It's pretty obvious that they're here just for the appeal of the "coomers" of the gacha community. It's a shame because the art of these games is really good, and I'm sure there's more summer/lewd costumes than the SFW ones, in fact, the only gacha that I can think of off the top of my head that has more SFW costumes is in fact our good friend TLW. Even TLW's beach costumes are tame compared to these games (I still want the captain Ran costume....). Also, I didn't know that Guardian Tales got into this trope as well. I think that there's still gonna be some outrageous updates done to TLW, but at this point, I'm sure you're fed up with all this stupid shit that TLW does. It's super sad that the good games can't live long enough, I think both Cannonball and DanKagu lasted for about a year, and TLW is still.. Somehow going strong. And I don't even know what's happening to Arcadia Records. It's a shame really, how these days it seems like people only care for lewdest stuff. And it's even more sad that these games are becoming lost media. I really wish that the gacha industry was better, or, an even better approach, that it didn't even exist.

I wanted to, but for some reason, my votes won't send. I tried contacting the team but alas, the send button won't work there either.

"* A new event is coming - Capsule-Crazy Gensokyo! This event has two parts, and Extra will start on 9/27. It also comes with a banner that returns Festival Friend Seija Kijin, and debuts everyone's favorite thunder drummer, Raiko Horikawa, as well as everyone's favorite outside-world esper, Sumireko Usami! An Ascending Step-UP option is also available." What's this event? Is that one of the events we skipped?

CHIMATAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Tbh tho, I hope they come out not soon, me and my 500 cubes from the Alice Relic banner are crying TwT

Good luck with the exams! I'm sure you will do great, take it easy! Tbh, Hecatia looks really pretty, even though you know... It has a bit of fan service.. (especially the belly xd) Also The costumes are nice too, I like Eirin the most. And I'm glad we're getting more gen units. And yeah, I agree with the fact that the game is getting super boring now... I'd stop playing but I'm so scared on missing out on stuff. I already missed a lot of stuff from July 2021 to Feb 2022. The units are coming way too fast and it's a mess. I'll write something on the suggestion thingy.

Fucking Efes Hecatia is gonna get released soon in global as well LMFAOOOO I can't wait for this game to die
