This is a series of blog posts Comp published on the old BUTAOTOME blog. It was something I wanted to translate for years, and well… better later than ever? Remember that these posts are from 2013-2014, so the equipment he is using now is probably different and better. You can read the original posts here. Do note that I’ve only… Read more »
Buon COMPleanno!!!11 to my favorite polar bear and composer! It’s time for the final part of my pseudo-analysis of BUTAOTOME’s lyrics… and we end with the one who pretty much wrote 80%* of the entire vocal catalog: Comp! *not actually calculated, I just put a large percentage number. btw, I have 940 files tagged as BUTAOTOME in my music library,… Read more »

An old interview with Comp from the magazines I bought specifically for BUTAOTOME articles. Now it has been finally translated! This has been challenging since some specific words are used and I know absolutely nothing about music-making, recording, and that kind of stuff. But it was fun to research them, and I hope it’s clear to read. Sound Designer was… Read more »

Add Ranko’s wonderful voice into the mix and you have a plethora of amazing tracks, a lot of my favorite songs and Touhou arranges of all time.I wish… Read more »
Happy birthday to the best polar bear around! In the last months I wasn’t a big fan of BUTAOTOME’s latest efforts. However, there is one thing I want to remind myself and all of you. Comp is the creative mind behind pretty much all my favourite songs, the singles we all know and love, and basically BUTAOTOME’s entire original catalogue…. Read more »
