Another year of activity has passed. And today, this website turns seven years old. A certain doctor once said that “seven is the maximum measure of anything” (okay, this is a reference that only Italian people will get). But it doesn’t really apply to a music group whose most albums have eight tracks.
Well, usually in this type of post I write about how much time has passed, and how much I improved. Kind of cliche talks. However, this year is a special one, since it marks my 10th anniversary as a BUTAOTOME fan.
Honestly, I don’t know how I should feel about it. Some things will accompany me forever, and this simple doujin circle has become one of them. I have no other thoughts. Head empty. Brain fried by the summer heat. Stay hydrated.
What will happen in the next 10 years? Who knows. I expect a lot of changes all around me and in the worlds I observe. I just hope I will still be alive and happy with the person I love :bibi:, and that I have been able to meet BUTAOTOME. These are my wishes, I don’t have many ambitions.
Tiramisu Cowboy will continue until BUTAOTOME is no more and there will be absolutely nothing to say about them. Now that the lyrics translation saga is ended*, I can better focus on future articles. With the upcoming album being a re-recording one (the official announcement should be tomorrow btw), there is not much to say about it, so I can give the spotlight to some older works instead… Oh, and a certain album will get a review at the end of the year, and it will serve as a culmination of my 10th anniversary celebration.
As usual, for today I’ll hold a small anniversary party on Tiramisu Cowboy’s Discord server. I’ll be in the voice chat for most of the afternoon/evening (European timezone), where we can listen to stuff, or you can ask me something.
Thank you for supporting this website! Now, time to reach the 10th anniversary with it!

here’s hoping to plenty more years of butaotome to enjoy!
Just curious, but i was wondering what other touhou doujin music circles do you enjoy as well?
Thanks for your comment!
Well, my top 3 circle is this
1. BUTAOTOME (ofc)
2. Secret Messenger [no longer Touhou, but it’s the other doujin circle I regularly buy their albums when they are released. I have been following Yuy (the arranger/composer)’s activities ever since I first discovered t=NODE in 2010, but I think their current original stuff is better]
3. Diao ye zong [I love them especially for RD’s storytelling and attention to the Touhou lore]
I also enjoy Minstrel (inactive…), <echo>PROJECT/Aftergrow (as well as most groups with Hiratake and Mano as guest arrangers), Inorai, ZYTOKINE, Shinra-Bansho
when they aren’t busy doing stuff with Beatmario, Konpeki Studio (AoCF album when).I also tend to gravitate towards ZUN’s Music Collection arrangements, even though I will eternally complain about the excessive number of RenMerry relationship songs :°D
Ooh, I see! We have a lot of similar favourites. Also hoping to see more from Konpeki sometime!
Cannot relate to last point though. Can never be enough shoujo hifuu club arranges in the world 😉
