Not a lot of news this week… I’m taking a small break from big stuff because my current two translation projects are really, really long! Old NOSTALGIA news is old On December 19th, the piano-based arcade game by KONAMI added another ARM (IOSYS) x Paprika original track: Koakuma no Etude Op.1 “Tarantella” (小悪魔のエチュードOp.1「タランテラ」). This track is unlockable through the Story… Read more »
Paprika talks The other day Ane published a blog post where she talked about Paprika. You can read its translation here, in case you missed it. My feelings are pretty much the same as back in April. I still have my regrets (no more Paprlicious songs and Nekokenbans, I will meet BUTAOTOME in an “incomplete” state, signed Chess will be… Read more »
It’s Ane’s birthday!! Thank you for all the cool artwork you always provide! Wishing you all the best for another year! This time I wanted to go with a more minimal setup, so here are the two chibi sisters enjoying some canestrelli (Ligurian cookies).
Original post [free to read] A translation of The Sis’ newest blog post, where she talked about Paprika. Ranko no Ane here. I’ve been writing every day, so I think I may have gotten out of the Twitter syntax habit. I’m glad. The other day I was looking at a mental health board (read-only).I found a post that said, “Cut… Read more »
Daily Bibibi Ranko started to write for a webzine! In her first article, she talked about GeGeGe no Kitaro, and what it represents for her.

Violet’s queue (please send help) I’ve created a new… Read more »

Here is a translation of her first post, where she introduces herself and… Read more »
Not a lot of stuff this week, but there is something I really wanted to talk about! AnimeGO! Japan Pop Culture Festival There was this event in Adelaide (Australia) on the 16th! It was not a Touhou-related convention, but a Japanese culture festival. BUTAOTOME was “there”. Not in a physical way, but with a video letter and music/illustration showcase. The… Read more »
Ranko recorded something the other day, while Comp was busy with recordings today! Oh, and there was a MiniComp Show last weekend, with Kanako Itou and Yamagishi, the Lost Word producer. The link is timestamped to Tori yo (song by Diao ye zong) sung by Yamagishi. Gensou no Satellite on Taiko Switch A new DLC for the Nintendo Switch port… Read more »
Another old interview from the magazines I bought specifically for BUTAOTOME articles! This one focuses on Comp as a bassist, and the bass techniques he used for Trauma Recorder. A strange-looking multi-creator who loves the bass A mixed-species group consisting of Ranko (vocals) the human, Comp (bass) the polar bear, Paprika (piano) the cat, and Ranko no Ane (performance, artwork)… Read more »
First of all, the most important news of the week: no Yumehanabi in the upcoming maimai x Arcaea collab, sacrificing VIVITs didn’t work. Also, no Air Comiket 2 things. According to the exchange diary of the sisters (accessible to any paying subscriber of the Fanbox), Ane decided to take it easy and ended up doing nothing. Touhou Lost Word news… Read more »
