Motelab…. Read more »
After a pause of one week, the weekly recap is back, with its first 2018 episode! There was no livestream today, I guess they are preparing for the tour. If you are wondering what the hell is that screen above… well, it has been announced that BUTAOTOME will play live at Touhou Hit Parade in April, live event organized by… 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. The… Read more »
This week is Comiket 93 and other than BUTAOTOME’s new albums we have a good bunch of guest stuff, all listed in this single post and to be released during the first day as well! Before starting, let me do a small observation: the times when Ranko had quite a few guest songs in other circles are a distant memory,… Read more »

Why people are interested on setlists? I think they are a way for hardcore fans to keep an eye to the activity of their favourite artists, outside of the usual “listen the music, analyze it, discuss it, find something to do with their work while still respecting it”. Or for simple curious people, who want to know what to expect… Read more »
First of all, today there was Compachi’s super-mega-ultra-hyper-radical-uber-( ¨̮ ) livestream, where Comp’s alter ego replied to the fans’ problem submitted on the secret form accessible from the QR Code on Melonbooks’ free sticker for those who purchased Trauma Recorder. I jokingly exaggerated with the adjectives, but this whole streaming lasted almost 5 hours and half, with about one hundred… Read more »
First of all, BUTAOTOME are almost done with the C93 albums, which will be probably the usual Touhou vocal + Nekokenban 15! Comp said that he made a devilishy cool song that he wants to play during the tour! The bear also tweeted that the album has lots of variation in the songs. Today Ranko tweeted that she is done… Read more »
And welcome back to the usual review corner! When Trauma Recorder was available on iTunes (one week before its physical release date), I immediately purchased it. I also bought it on OTOTOY to test that store, but they are still money that go to Buta! However, my reviews need the physical copies: I feel they are a necessary part of… Read more »
