There is no official announcement yet, however, the releases are already up for preorder on Toranoana! No crossfades at the moment.

EDIT December 20: the preorder pages with the four releases have been removed from Toranoana. It looks like they weren’t supposed to be up before an official announcement. But they took too much time to remove them (like one day or so) and I’ve spread the info here and on THBWiki, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, Comp said that the official C97 announcement (with crossfade videos and such) will be probably on Monday!

EDIT December 23: the official website with Soundcloud XFDs is finally up!

BUTAOTOME will bring four new releases at Comiket 97 (December 31, the final day of the convention)! Three new albums and a book.

The usual Touhou vocal album is titled Magic Lantern (まじっく・らんたん). Wooo, Sumireko is on the cover, is it time for the long-awaited Violet Detector song? No, have ULiL credits instead. But the most surprising thing is that there is no Touhou 17 song at all. Also, two rearranges of old songs.

1. 脳ブレンド | Nou Blend [Yozora no UFO Romance]
2. 月の歌声 | Tsuki no Utagoe [Yoru ga Oritekuru ~ Evening Star]

8. 暗夜航路　(まじっくver.) | An’ya Kouro (Magic ver.) [Yuurei Kyakusen no Jidai wo Koeta Tabi]
