No livestream today! TC Crew Theater 29: Chibi Ranko and her new pet dragon. [silly question time: what’s your favourite member of the TC Crew?] Seriously, there are almost no news this week in the World of BUTAOTOME. There was the Touhou Popularity poll (where the two sisters posted their votes), it snowed in the Tokyo area (lots of pics… Read more »
Welcome back to the usual review corner! This time with a different twist. I know my review of Shoujo Rengoku 4 Ayakashi Yokochou was supposed to be the main focus of this post… but I decided to not publish it. I hoped it was just the XFD, but this album disappointed me. I’m sorry. Nekokenban 15 This time Paprika abandoned… Read more »

First livestream of the year! The Kimi no corner and the GenSate parodies (where Comp sang random stuff over the melody of BUTAOTOME’s signature song) were back! Sadly the livestream lagged a lot for me, even with the timeshift… There is almost no news this week: the tour started, the first setlist of the year has been published in the… Read more »

Recommended BGM: Shunshuu, final track of Giji Kazoku Nyuumon (even if it’s maybe a bit out of season). And another year is ending. It was a very important year for BUTAOTOME, with their major debut!! But what about this website? Looking back to what I have done for it, I can see how much I improved the contents: I wrote… Read more »
A random post I got the idea some nights ago while sleeping. The C93 releases are officially out! This time I ordered my copies through the usual proxy service and I’ll publish lyrics/other info once they arrive at my house. You won’t have to wait too much for the review. But here we are talking about the least important of… Read more »
Post revised on November 24, 2020. This post has been entirely retranslated. I’ve also included the parts of the original post that were not relevant to the Ayakashi Yokochou commentary. In this post from BUTAOTOME’s fanclub, Ranko talks about Ayakashi Yokochou (the lyrics she wrote and a general comment about the album). ———— Greetings, good evening, hello, Ranko here.
