From the livestream of 20th August 2014. Sadly I don’t have better performances of this one. In the meantime, I’m working on the review for Giji Kazoku Nyuumon, it will be out tomorrow or on Friday! Title: もういいよ Romaji: Mou ii yo Translation: I’ve had enough 朝日を恨む様な感情は言葉になるかな 「また明日」と言える毎日はこの世にあるかな かな 『時が解決』以外の言葉どこかにないかな 自分を消せる様な消しゴムはどこかにないかな asahi wo uramu you na kanjou wa kotoba ni naru ka… Read more »

Revised on September 19, 2022. This is a mail interview with BUTAOTOME (presumably Comp answering most questions) from a Dengeki Playstation magazine special dedicated to Touhou Project. Special thanks to Quwanti, who bought the mag and provided me with the relevant pages! When did you start your activities as a music circle?In November 2009, all our current members got together… Read more »
From the livestream of 7th January 2015. Most of the times a new BUTAOTOME album is released, they put it as background music of the weekly streaming, and for me it becomes hard to (try to) follow their talks without paying attention to the music (I want to first listen the new album once I get my copy, without the… Read more »
As previously announced, those who will attend any date of the Furubokkoru tour will receive a special homemade CD with 2 re-arrangements of previous songs. Each disc will have different contents for each date.

While she is not like a random… Read more »

Today’s streamo was pretty much ordinary: no piano corner (so no video tomorrow) and some live news since the first date of the Furubokkoru Tour is approacching. Oh, and they played a couple of songs directly from Giji Kazoku! btw, tonight or tomorrow I should publish a new post a bit different from… Read more »
Wow, we’ve got to the 20th update! First of all, there was the Touhou Livebox yesterday! It was broadcasted on Youtube, but I didn’t knew about it until Ranko tweeted “hey, we finished performing, thanks also to those who watched the livestream!!111”. However, you can rewatch it on Youtube! I have the feeling Melonbooks will delete it, though, but I’m… Read more »
From the livestream of 20th November 2013. Sorairo Ribbon is probably the track I’m looking forward the most from the upcoming album, being an arrange of Alice in Wonderland (one of my favourite themes). So, let’s have an Alice-related track for this week! Title: 華胥の夢 Romaji: Kasho no Yume Translation: Dream of paradise Original theme: Bucureşti no Ningyoushi ゆらゆらゆれる向こうに あなたの笑顔が消えてった 呼びながら手を伸ばして 目覚めた自分に怯え泣いていた… Read more »
