U.N. Owen was Her?

The Melancholy of Tsundere Alice

Well, well, well. What have we here? An update?! With Comiket 74 looming, I figured we should break the news: our very own Redeyes is not going to C74 to bring us live, on the scene updates! In commemoration of this grand non-event, here’s an old-ass song from Silver Forest’s 2007 album, Sentence.

Silver Forest - ツンデレアリスの憂鬱 - Instrumental

You’ll notice you’ve never heard this song in any Touhou game you’ve played. That’s because it’s completely original! In fact, the only ties it has to Touhou are the lyrics, which, quite conveniently, are missing in this version. Whatever. It’s not like any of you should care - according to a survey not so recently held by Redeyes himself, 90% (give or take) of western Touhou “fans” don’t even play the games themselves, and only 10% (give or take) of the remainder play beyond Easy Mode, which, as everyone knows, doesn’t actually count.

Unfunny joke was here

Are They U.N. Owens

Breaking another no-update combo with a Youtube! I’ve been meaning to post this forever, but forgot. Watch the whole thing - you’ll figure it out quickly, and it’s pretty amazing how everything fits together so nicely.

This could sort of be even this site’s unofficial theme song or something, I mean, it’s pretty much what we’re all about.

Rage

Someone called ViViX released a small 2-track CD that seems to have been bundled in with SWR. Here’s the second track - it’s Suika’s theme from IaMP, but I can’t remember what the original track was called! Oh well. No album art for you either. Sorry!

ViViX - Rage

Well, if we’re talking about SWR… a really fun game, huh? Maybe a few of you readers can play some games with me sometime. I can’t help using that Sakuya’s World spellcard though - normally my opponent manages to completely graze through anything I make during it, and the warmup animation is way too long to get them while they’re stunned in the air or something. Stopping time’s always fun, though. I haven’t even played any characters besides Sakuya, Reisen and Komachi - too much fun. I was looking forward to the Subterranean Animism demo more than this, but turns out SWR’s proving more fun. Probably because I already beat the SA demo on Hard…

竹取飛翔 ～ Lunatic Princess

Well, looks like something caused me to come back from the grave. Looks like this place went downhill in a big way since I died, I wonder if anyone’s still reading~

Today’s track is from one of the new Reitaisai 5 albums - UI-70’s latest offering, “Riddles Covered With Flowers”. They never did a dedicated Imperishable Night album like they did for PCB and EoSD, but that’s not their game anymore it seems. Well, let’s just keep going, with a track that has been due for a long time. Their latest album is a far cry from their last one, that went all relaxing and downbeat on us. It’s good stuff, get it.

竹取飛翔 ～ Lunatic Princess

There’s an old track for you. So, how about the new games? The Subterranean Animism demo is good fun - I think personalised bombs make the MoF system work at least a little better, although I think I like the older collision detection a bit better. SWR kinda stole the thunder though - it’s fun too, Komachi is a really fun character to play as, although I still don’t fully understand what some of the cards do. The weather effects can be quite annoying too. I guess I’ll save some of my rants for later updates.

Aquilon Feast

Way boring update incoming! Song’s good though.

Here is a remix of Mountain of Faith’s Extra Stage, entitled Aquilon Feast, from L.I.C.’s C73 album Coure.

L.I.C. - Aquilon Feast

WTFR Fixed

Yeah, oops. After a month of being broken, WTFR is back up. I hope people still remember that it exists!

Plain Asia - Atmospheric Storm

efs’s LunaticGate album has a cool cover. I’ll post it later, or you can look it up yourself if you can’t wait to see a picture of Yuyuko sticking her butt out as she is wont to do…

Anyways, it’s a Keine track today! Our favorite Imperishable Night stage 3 boss’s theme song is called Plain Asia, probably because she’s a plain ol’ human… well, at least until the full moon.

efs - プレインエイジア - Atmospheric Storm

And so Reitaisai is just around the corner, and Comiket 74 is coming around the bend, along with news of TH11. It’s a good time to be a Touhou fan, except the fact that one of the main hubs of western Touhou fandom, the Pooshlmer Touhou Imageboard, seems to have been broken for a while now, and gasp, even our cozy little nook WTFR is out of commission (I’ll fix it when I have time, really). Where am I going with this train of thought? Dunno.

Not the form of Usa but the Tengu

Or something. Whatever that means.

Breaking the no-update combo this week, and closing out the month of April, is Silly Walker’s contribution to the dBu Ice Milk Tei compilation. An entire album of Tewi mixes? Yes, please.

Silly Walker - おウサ様がみてゐないけど天狗が

Also, it appears WTFR is broken in that you can’t post anything on it. I’ll try to figure out what is wrong so I can fix it.

Edit 3: Hurrah! Touhou 11 (Subterranean Animism) announced! Eagerly awaiting the remixes that are inevitably coming two weeks after the demo is released.

G Free

Do you like chiptunes/lofi? Too bad, because that’s what you’re getting today.

G Free isn’t found in any Touhou gaem, but in the ZUN music collection Magical Astronomy. If it were a BGM, however, I would imagine it to be an extra stage boss theme. I mean, it just sounds like one.

Anyways, this lofi remix is arranged by Furansowa San’s Sagebrush Garden for the album にとりーずでぃっしゅ. I wish I had a garden that could write songs for me.
