I genuinely thought the last day of this month was a Monday.
This is the last recap of the year, but not the last TC post of the year!
C97 releases!
After being leaked by Toranoana on Thursday (see the previous post), the four BUTAOTOME releases to be distributed at Comiket 97 have been officially announced last Monday!
Here are the TC pages: Magic Lantern | Touhou Nekokenban 19 | Guerrilla 2 | Ranko no Ane no Nichijoukei Manga
The Youtube XFDs will be uploaded tomorrow.
Ranko no Ane acknowledged Kyoai’s 10th anniversary 15 days later. The Guerrilla 2 cover art is a sort of celebration picture. (tweet)
As Christmas present, Paprika uploaded a short version of the last track of Nekokenban 19! Here is her tweet.
Melonbooks promotion
From next week, if you buy at least 4 BUTAOTOME releases on Melonbooks, you will get a “Ranko no Ane is evolving!” set, where you can dress the bunny in some clothes and accessories. This has been referred to as “the Mythical 11th event for BUTAOTOME’s 10th anniversary”.

Marumaru Futotta Buta no Ohanashi
Last Sunday’s talk event went fine! There was also a bingo time where the fans were able to win rare BUTAOTOME memorabilia. In between the various parts of the show, they played some acoustic songs:
1. Gensou no Satellite
2. Futatsume no Kokyou
3. Panorama
Touhou no Uta + Touhou Station end of the year party
Ranko and Comp were at this special livestream last Monday! It was a typical Touhou no Uta streaming, with karaoke. You can rewatch it here. This is a timestamp to the Pig’s karaoke part: Soldi and Bad Apple.
Hotaru Murasaki’s birthday
Ranko sang some BUTAOTOME songs at the birthday party of her best buddy last Saturday!
1. Soldi
2. Suuhai Gokko
3. Utakata
4. Kakoinaki Yo wa Ichigo no Tsukikage
2019 live stats
This year I won’t publish any post about the most played songs in BUTAOTOME live this year. However, if you are interested in them, Natrium (a Japanese fan) published the top 10!
