Gou the frog

Also my turn has come. This article from the Perfect Memento in Strict Sense: Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Fujiwara no Mokou - Touhou Wiki - Characters, games, locations, and more So you mean like a ninja/shinobi? (Actually ninja fits after all, it's a mystical figure, based on a truth and blown up out of all proportion and is popular in western culture which fits in with Gensokyo logic) Taking all this information, Mokou is a descendent of a group of anti-yokai ninjas? That sounds wacky but it is logical for Gensokyo standard.

Well, look at that it took a while isn't? After digging quite a time. I've got this: Looking at this, we can see that there are quite a lot of people that frequent at the shrine. Well, in many fanarts they just don't hide their yokai forms and human can just come and enjoy the party but I do think it would get ugly if said human actively look for trouble. (Sake would not dull a good man sense but how long can you hold it when you're surrounded by beautiful yokais) In any case, I wonder what would happen if the opposite should occur? Would Reimu simply knocks some sense to the trouble maker or the tengu and oni would do the work as it is disturbing old time sake? Let's think for a moment, drunkenness = trouble in Gensokyo? That might be qualified as an answer but I highly doubt it. In my headcannon, Suika the one behind the Hakurei partying and she ain't the type to hide her form especially when there's always sake in the donation box.

It happened rarely at least in my case, in the chat I sent two massages there might be because of my internet connection and the same with SasaMisa status update. So, the possible problem might be because of either the connection or the forum acting up.

This might sound very unorganized but here goes: A holiday day at the mansion, a high angle shot from the scope of the pigeon. (Tengu) A newspaper themed at the scarlet mansion's mistress anniversary in which the headline stating, "Bigs BIGS News, The Scarlets Bloom" A look at the misty lake, now it's not misty yet filled with a picnic featuring a fairy dragging Reimu to it. A maid playing chess with the best gatekeeper in the garden with possible spectators. (And there slip the sleepy jaooooo joke) A little demon coming back to the library and putting a blanket on the magician due to being worn out while creating a spell that contains confetti? A mistress and her sister welcoming the guests at the mansion's party. A brilliant gatekeeper making dumpling and dishes for a special day. While the mansion crew watches her. A fairy trio (Might include a clown and blue and green elemental) going toward the gate only to find the owner are having a party. A witch tries eating a bread while a blue fairy brings an english steak and yet, the maid brings doughnuts in a tray at the garden. A dusk yokai goes out with sunglasses only to find herself at the top of the mansion. (The clock tower) And last but not least everyone gather at the garden to have good old time. The black pigeon with a camera is also invited.

Compare to the past tournaments, this sure is an up. Eight participants sure takes up those two months ay?

/22: Nami Haven - Rough Sea (Blacklolita Remix): I have a hunch that Ken added extra spice in the final round. Right, Round 8! The song maintain the hype and I can hear the "Beep" at the start (I'm not so sure about how it sounded) to deliver a compelling feeling, also the pause near the end of the sound gives you a break; it starts of with a bang and end with satisfaction. I need to get my boogie glasses! Quite Melodic indeed. Another good entry and a splendid order done Ken. 8/10 (Also this shall be an ever lasting memory, Theme of Eastern Story in the final round the longest remix tournament ever; I now only realized this and my scoring preference sky rocketed. This kind of setting can only be pulled off by the one and only the master of playlist.) 23: Diao ye zong - The beautiful world: Someone really enjoys bringing the big guns. At the start it sounds really similar to "Watery Grave" From PvZ especially since they're both at the start. Nostalgia is strong in this one. Very somber tune, and it really does move into a good transition not too long in which it blew my mind. I've got to double check on how smooth the transition is. The guitar solo really brings out the flavor. And the last section to feel the credits. 8.5/10 (For reminding about Watery Grave) (I wonder how DrunkenFlower reacts to this one) 24: Meng Shi - U.N. Owen was Her?: Bias overload!!! This right here is my dream theme, the one and only song maybe even the first one to speak to me in a spiritual level, I know I have said this a lot since the tournament started. But I'm real taken by this arrangement; it's one of the first arranges I've found ever since I joined this community. I would've missed it it by a long shot If I didn't wondered in the vast majority of arranges but I'm glad I did since I've got it all saved up in my drives well, moments before getting hit by a strike and vanishing to the depths of unknown but it seems like it's resurfacing yet again. I've got to say this one theme accompany my journey for years, even at the start of the Pandemic, exams and it even help me made some friends and eventually my brother to be in Touhou. So, this arrangement holds a lot to me. Sort of like a older sister. It also helps that Touhou 6 is also one of my first games along with 4. I mean I've heard of many remixes of this but this one truly makes it Justice. The Brilliant sting instruments creating a medieval like classic formula creating a dreamy atmosphere just like the Pc-98 era Touhou games. And for the finish I can't stress enough how good the bells are! Even at the end they hold so much weigh! And just the damm instrument choice here, I can't comprehend how great this whole arrangement is. And for matching all of my preferences, I bestow thee upon the mightiest honor: 10/10 And with that the tournament is over and Ken I didn't expect you to put 4 remixes here. Frankly, I fell quite honored. Well, now it sure is a finish, a good finish. Perhaps, being the first one to review why your selection is the final song to tie things up really is quite a feeling to have. Nonetheless, happy ones. Ah, this has got to be one of the most memorable days in this forum. With Newer members participating in here, I'm sure the old crew is really happy to have us too. Now, I shall wait for others review patiently.

19: Water Color Melody. - M.E.P.H.I.S.T.O. Oh, I thought the start was going pretty rock. Well, turns out, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Truly, the vocalist captured every bits of the section. Amazing vocals that I give: 8/10 20: Komeiji Records - Elegant Ice Maiden: I don't know, maybe I've heard of this somewhere? Indeed, it has quite a lot of genres in here; aside for the initial hype and my unbiased opinion of this particular theme, this sounds confusing to me and it's one of the rare moments that I can't tell what a song is trying to give. (Maybe a Christmas rave battle on thanksgiving- that doesn't make sense at all) What a peculiar remix. Cheers, I somewhat like it but I feel like the end was quite off. 6.8/10 21: Demetori - Higan Retour ~ View of The River Styx: I didn't expect Demetori to be showup in here. Sometimes, I actually do wake up with good arrangements after a long day of studying. Plus, Higan retour happens to be one of my beloved themes. On to the dish itself, the guitar is ghostly good reminds me of my good old home. As if I close my eyes, I can picture myself to be in her boat touring across the river. The image here also helps a lot in painting a scenery for one's mind to explore. The heavy part really loosen my burden with studying which the two pauses really dawns on my curious mind. You know what, I'm going to follow my heart in rating this song. It really speaks to me... 9/10

Last but not least 16: Touhou Gengaku Kyo - Demoness of the Underworld: (I also miss Surnist) It's definitely a master class in giving the story to the listener still, the strings are pulled carefully and in consideration. Even thought it has less instruments it make more 8.8/10 17: ssbbmaster - Where is that Bustling Marketplace ~ Immemorial Marketeers: Chimata eh? That's a instant up. It's really wild and how should I put it the boss theme that she should have when you find out the Busting Market. That aside, I can't really think of what to comment. So 7.5/10 eh? 18: S.S.H. & Aether - Shanghai Scarlet Teahouse: Ah, now this is something else with lots of rhythm shifting and quite a variety of them. Also, the rap indeed surprised me in a good way. Really, another Shanghai Teahouse which never fails to impress me and boons points for Meiling. A Jolly 8/10 Alright, now that covers me.

Touhou Lost Word Rant And Stuff: Intro: Touhou Lost Word, where do I even start? First off, it’s officially licensed by Team Shanghi Alice (Zun) So, that’s a start. It was globalized in May 11, 2021 compared to it its Japan counterpart which was released a year ago. It has brought a lot of new fans to the series well, a lot…. But still it’s quite a game really. Story: What is a game without a story (Opps, still there’re a ton of good games without a story) Anyways, the thing about finding a lost word is intriguing. But the plot didn’t get me like what are they writing in the prologue and the first chapter? They shoved you boring monologues especially at the beginning but got better later on: Megapig9001 already made a video about the prologue including events and some story chapters. MegaPig Touhou lost word reviews - YouTube Final Verdict: Half the time the writers doesn’t know that they are bringing to the table, but it balances out each other later like Yin and Ying. Dialogue: Things are packed with references here so, that’s a good thing and there’re those popular ones like “Hey Mister” from the Halloween Event and more that I don’t remember. And the home screen ones are also quite interesting if I must say. The Tower is explaining things such as barrier and jazz that SHOULD be EXPLAINED in the god damm FIRST CHAPTER! Since we got magicians gathering, so giving the little foreshadowing would’ve been really good. And what even is the Daily Arena? Just Gals hanging out with literally everyone and demolishing our hero which have the power to call them and will swipe the floor. Final Verdict: Well, atleast the later parts got better and the substories are surprising to read thorough since I can see creativity. Characters: Not really bad and I like it a lot as they keep most of the cast to their original ones but some doesn’t make it… (That one-time Akyuu turned to Yandere, at the Hina Cheering Saga and other that I forgot.) One complain I have is there weren’t any translation in the character bio one well, that has been fixed. Gameplay: Lots of fun at first but became rather stale as times went on. Although, I like some of the spell cards that they created their self; I like Toyohime’s Water Dragon Lost World, and there’s not much to say here other than the enemy hits hard when they used their respective spell cards maybe even better than us. What? Oh, the animations really bring a weight behind the gameplay. Double Final Verdict: I really love the idle animations ones and that HINA SPIN. So, a lot points for Lost Word. Gacha System: Things really went 0 to 100. But this thing here is handled really well but no.. I mean maybe the Rng didn’t favor me but I got to say, It’s more generous than it looks. Verdict: I might need some help from fellow player’ view about it. Final Everything: This game really hold me down for almost a year but that’s infact, impressive. It might not be the ideal Touhou game and many fans will dislike it but that doesn’t stop you from enjoying it; To be honest, I enjoy every moment of doing things in this game. Be it Scouting for errands that doesn’t give you anything, sucking hard at multiple health bar bosses, mildly surprised at some of the art done for, strategizing how to beat the Scarlet Devil Tower with all of my Touhous, (Sad no Yuugi but Meiling and Hina is there), Sparking a lot only to realize other lucky bastard got alt ones in just 50 rolls or just in a daily roll (Looking at you reddevil) and many more! It’s really something. Final note: CountVonNumenor, I hope this would be enough and pardon everyone, many things happened well, good thing I might say but I’m back lads!

A long rant of mine; Pardon me heavily as I've brought my inner feeling on your thread.

13: Unlucky Morpheus - Feast the Night Away: Alright the piece I have choose has finally came onto the stage: This express me well enough that Yuugi and Suika got in a duet, and sang to their heart's content. This shall be my first step to differentiate how a song is good or bad. 8.5 /10 14: Yukari - Palace of the Earth Spirits Very wild... yes, the ambience is! The progression of the song feels natural but also unnatural. I don't know how to put it but really. The main melody is a interesting choice; I can respect SasaMisa choice for this, so 6? Nah 7/10. 15: A-One - Moondust (DJ Command Remix): Oh my lord, this is one of the best things I've listened to. The singer being a male is a very refreshing start; the start of the song is just so magical, the energy this song gives and puts in. The instruments are truly carefully chosen; the guitar just draws you in closer. The beat, which I expected to be stale, but boy, have I never felt this good after proven wrong; such powerful tunes with a lot of emotions driven across this arrangement. It's just, I don't know why, but this speaks directly to my soul; it feels really fulfilling, like that one time I played "Mystia's Izakaya." It is like everything about my good old times with the lads and memories of an innocent childhood. Anyway, the beat here is both mellow and upbeat. Yeah, about that. I believe I also love those two being experimented with in the song. The pause near the end of the song is really something. (I really rumbled on this one, didn't I?) Shut Up And Take My Rating of 9.π/10 Well, It's really fun to listen too most of the styles, remixes, arranges and old music being picked in this eight tournament, seems like it's going to end soon. Aye, I really want to see Ken's picks, maybe in the next one?

Not really, wait did I twist my words (again) Oh well, actually I though about monsters like orcs and those elfs with pointy ears; the point that I was going to make (which failed to) was add a mix of mystical features into your recipe. Well, um..this somewhat inspired; a very good documentation about an original creature "the freak" from an Apocalyptic Animated Short Film

I'm a lot wiser after hearing the lecture DK gave. I'm very sure that it will help you like it did with me. So, I have a friend who is really I mean Really good at drawing animals and he understand the basic more than me and that ancient volume but he only drew animals and sometimes superhero. And I asked him how he shifted it so, he had some troubles at first since drawing animal = buff human but yeah, at the end of the day he improved quite immensely. For example: I have to say, it would be worthwhile for you to draw 'em again as it would help you in your journey. For the bodies, you're having trouble with the version in your head and without looking too realistic.. hmm, this is quite a case. How about drawing monster well, human noid ones: a mix of animal and human? That way surely you might regain your self.

I saw that one months ago, apparently doremy is the only safe one. I also have an extra flair though

Akyuu was it? Wasn't she the old grandma of the Hieda family that looks younger everytime a new incident happens. Not to mention, She really lives up to her name the "Child of Miare." Her untouched music score is popular but fans doesn't really want to touch it, remixes? not a soul would be aware of it. On every Valentine days, the jealously only grows bigger but what's that? She doesn't really have a face outside of that bridge. You know I was starting to think she is a fish rather than a turtle 'cause you see japanese fish can be a legend after crossing a river meanwhile japanese turtles have holes on their head. Flat chest, Flat chest, Tiny Flat chest! All right, who needs friends when you have alcohol as you disappear with the mist. I don't see how a lady was abandoned. Maybe she smith her original stories but a lot of lads are quite bored by her.

Truly, that's is some well thought out theory and yes the flaming rooster I called it, is the same entity as Linfamy mentioned.

Take me with as much salt you want. The thing is these new games, they aren't well received (By some lads) just like UM. I don't know why people dislike them going so far as calling them best or worse Touhou games. It seems that UFO shadow is behind this one.. Gameplay wise, some stages drags on and the new mechanic wipes the floor with those bosses. (According to the comments in here and this post: Is it only me or Touhou 17 is reaaally hard ? : touhou (reddit.com) taken 3 years ago) Also have this from a comment section replies of the extended title theme: I mean kind of have a point with the background but I'm not so sure about the second easiest game? It might as well be my skill issue. Truly, but the point is I haven't (can't) play extra so, I can't really support too much of the point here. Music? I can't seem to remember any of 'em nay, I take it back my vote is entirely on Staff Roll don't know why but the only theme that is on the mind of Touhou players is the exclusive stage 6 theme; Indeed, after researching, I assure it's always that one theme that is redeemable? I myself, like most of the themes in 17; no, music is subjective so expect a random review later in this post as this is one of the only things I can do without playing the game itself. (Aye, Mayumi's and the stage 6 one sounds quite similar to Undyne and Mettaton's themes.) Ending this chapter with lore: Right it's set in hell and what do we got? Another place that is not going to be mentioned again, presumably forgotten like *cough* *cough* the places from that one Pc era. Also, we got "gangs" who compete with each other for resources and territory; A yakuza connotation feeling if you will. And there comes the leaders who have got vague info much like the god of Hakurei. This might ended up upsetting the veteran lads. So, we done yet? Not yet actually since I've a headcannon for all of you: Imagine the beast World as one of the places in the 16 lesser hell known as "The Animal Abuser's Hell" and the beasts sprits are going to dominate those human souls who has abused said sprits. And we got the hell setting with Kutaka being one of the gatekeeper of that hell; here is oddly similar yokai chicken from a scroll of Nara. (Hell Scroll) Wiki got almost all the pages (Motly in Japanese: Hell Scroll (Nara National Museum) - Wikipedia) After a bit of digging I've found another lad that has the same theory as me but also with more points in this yet again three year old reddit thread: An unpopular opinion about Touhou 17 plot : touhou (reddit.com) In conclusion: This is not a bad game but it does leave a who is in the right after the events of 17. But at the end of the day, don't let others drag you down for liking a specific game as it will leave out the negativity. So, as yin and yang, fans will appreciate the older games and the news ones sooner or later when that day comes, we shall see our community rise once more to the surface.

10: ARA - Area 4 (Capital City of Flowers in the Sky): Game osts, I have a soft spot for these kinds of tracks. Well, this sounds like pokemon to me which does bring some good memories of mine. Aye, it almost brought me a tear. 8/10 11: Kommisar - Maple Dream: Odd, the video is unavailable for me so VPN it is then. (It works perfectly when I messed around with the flags) All right, onto the arrangement itself, What? this a chiptune week eh? First time listening to Kommisar, I don't have a whole lot to say but it does ring nicely; Ah, my old man would truly enjoy this; simply beautiful. 8.5/10 12: Shibayan Records - MyonMyonMyonMyonMyonMyon!: Still, not the first time I had a feeling of hearing a certain song somewhere before. Oh, the Myon saga, might be nostalgic for others but mine hasn't come come out on stage yet so, this starts off strong and have this everlasting myon cast upon you. (How Myon jokes are here including Ken's) Aye, I feel like a I've become younger the longer I listen to this piece. Oh, I'll give a near 5 star dish rating being: (7.5) 4/ 6 Myon

Aye, now first all of this kind of thing is inevitable for every series and Touhou just appears to be just the perfect one. I myself haven't witness the "incident' of the people joining it from questionable material alone but not most of them I say since they are many work to be exposed to. Most of what I've seen known it from the fanworks, and maybe 50? 60% from said material. That's my point of view anyways. I believe it's somewhat in balance so, back to your topic, Horny Fans... Yeah, seems about right with a cast this big you'd be foolish to think there aren't any said fans. So far, after reading how japan handle things in earlier posts, I got some points from it: Japan doesn't really care how much horny material there it and it's a hit to have those. It's vastly different from the west and have a different view opposed to it. Their very origin are quite... Erotic indeed so, the more the merrier just like those wired period when everyone joins in the boat and does.... stuff. To top it off *Religion* So, that slides? Well, to brought a point of my own I bring you the perspective of me, a Burmese. (I don't know how this will relate) We've never really cared about those thing but later it was all shot down to ground and the freedom of speech vanished into thin air. Odd, but seems like it's in the middle. Aye, I'll save a history lesson for a thread. Aye, but I do have a question why does the more 'exposed' clothed character ie. Kanako is not too lewd but the reverse happen for the tightly ones, it appears to have the same effect. (It might already mentioned in earlier thread like months ago)

Yeah, my vote is on aunn so, about the drum does it have a tie? No? Then it isn't not Raiko. Still, I want to know about the dragons this time (Kichou?)

Who is going to take the role of the strongest human and the strongest Tsukumogami?

I'll answer your points later but I've a follow up question: Mike and Rin, they both have human ears and animals one. Does that mean they can hear twice as much or is just for show and why are most of the character in Touhou project wear SKIRT?

After coughing and building stress from school I've met suika in a fever dream of mine: I'll be back with more info later. Maybe I'm seeing things but I think I've a dream that I want to accomplish.

I'll touch more later but for now enjoy this short reply. (Darn you, sickness) You're enjoying the time with tea and peaches when suddenly, your teacher that you haven't heard in decades sent you a warning about some Bozo coming to invade: These "Invaders" arrived in a shabby-splin·ter rocket and announcing to 'claim' the moon and then, they challenged the sister to some kind of ritual fight with spellcards and stuff which you ended up wiping the floor with them. They retreat but your sake is stolen. If they were less civilized and barbaric, things wouldn't go that well for our Bozos.

Mike? Aye, Pss... We got somewhat the same last name.
