Kirby's Rainbow Resort

I'm just sitting on my 15+gb of Touhou music here, so yeah, it's better than good.

I play way more of the games than I read of the doujins. Soku, IN, even UFO is pretty fun. I've 1CC'd all of them aside from SA and UFO (post PC-98, that is). Heck, I even read all the translated chapters of Curiosities of Lotus Asia before I read any of the fanon. I did read SSiB, and I'll probably read the Inaba one at some point. Most of the fanon irks me, esp. w/r/t character personalities, so I tend to stay away. The fanon that doesn't attempt to change character personalities (ie fighting doujins) are pretty rad, though.

Totally love the music though. At this point I'm just waiting for Comiket, and then I'll READY MY LEFTOVER 800GBS ON MY XHD FOR STUFF AND THINGS.

Where should I start?

The games are good, the fans are generally awful and take the characters too far.

On the music thing, I may not play any Touhou, but I really enjoy...Plainasia, I think it's called. The piano in that piece is just so amazing.

Oh, can't forget about the music! Considering the music is the reason the games were made. And it's very good.

Please please please tell me you people listen to ZUN's soundtracks.
That man is a drunken genius I say!



I'm going with Pallas' layout because I'm as lazy as can be.

Fav. Characters:
1. Yukari Yakumo because she's better than you, and of course SSiB
2. Satori Komeiji because she also seems nice but just misunderstood.
3. Minoriko Aki because that damn apron and her theme is better than ALL of you.
4. Patchouli Knowledge because she's a bookworm and I have odd fetishes shut up.
5. Maribel Hearn (No not Han, it's Hearn, deal with it), because she's just way too deep for an extra character

Fav. Music:
1. Necrofantasia, Magical Astronomy arr.
2. Mary the Magician, Ghostly Field Club
3. Because Princess Inada Is Scolding Me, Mountain of Faith (OM POTATOES NOM)
4. Tabula rasa ~ The Empty Girl, Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream
5. Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17, Dolls in Pseudo Paradise arr.

Fav. Boss:

1. Kaguya Houraisan for her beautiful danmaku
2. Keine Kamishirasawa both times
3. Rin Kaenbyou since she's just unfair
4. Parsee Mizuhachi for her hardness as a stage two boss... o^o
5. And lastly the colorful antics of Hina Kagiyama

Fav. Music Circles:
1. kimino-museum, for those vocals.
2. Kraster, because their instrumentation > you
3. SOUND HOLIC, for that one Yukari arrange on their Soundholic meets Touhou album.

Fav. Games:
1. Touhou 11 - Subterranean Animism
2. Touhou 7 - Perfect Cherry Blossom
3. Touhou 8 - Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream

I have odd tastes and tend to be picky with musics so nyeh.
That Yukari arrange is epic though...

Probably the only reason I stick to Touhou this hard is because of the music... Good god the music...
I don't not stalk the Poltergeists on YouTube.

Yeah some people refer to those as "IOSYS getting serious". 桜の記憶, 雨の日の彼女は。, タイヨウノハナ (dear gosh I love this one so much), 雪が恋しくて, Pray, to list the ones I listen to frequently. Bloom's a pretty nice album as well.

I've also noticed I like quite a few of Hatsunetsu Mikos' works too, like Under the Quiet Moon.

Hatsunetsumiko's only memorable to me for , then again I don't listen to them much... o3o
They're probably one of the better vocal groups.

So, ZUN just to announce th12.8, 東方三月精：妖精大戦争 (Fairy Wars), featuring Cirno as the main character, freezing danmaku instead of dodging it.

It's really nice seeing Cirno in a touhou shooter again, as well as the three light fairies getting an in-game appearance.

I'm extremely surprised. I would never have imagined something like this. It's like... Freeze the Bullet or something.
Oh man. What in the world.

I may be one of the few who aren't really that bothered by fanon depiction of characters... Maybe it's been around so much I've just gotten used to it.
