Wait really? There are unused tracks in Touhou 18? It's surprising to hear about this. Back in the Pc-98 era, it was quite common to come across unused tracks in their files. I'm curious if these new ones are actually playable..?

Missing song from Unconnected Marketeers?

If you extract the files from Unconnected Marketeers, you can find the tracks’ descriptions in a file called musiccmt.txt.

Each song has a corresponding bgm/th18_xx number as follows:

bgm/th18_01 - 虹の架かる幻想郷

bgm/th18_03 - 妖異達の通り雨

bgm/th18_04 - 大吉キトゥン

bgm/th18_05 - 深緑に隠された断崖

bgm/th18_06 - バンデットリィテクノロジー

bgm/th18_07 - 駒草咲くパーペチュアルスノー

bgm/th18_08 - スモーキングドラゴン

bgm/th18_09 - 廃れゆく産業遺構

bgm/th18_10 - 神代鉱石

bgm/th18_11 - 待ちわびた逢魔が時

bgm/th18_12 - 星降る天魔の山

bgm/th18_13 - ルナレインボー

bgm/th18_14 - あの賑やかな市場は今どこに　～ Immemorial Marketeers

bgm/th18_15 - 嵐の後の日曜日

bgm/th18_16 - 虹色の世界

bgm/th18_17 - 幻想の地下大線路網

bgm/th18_18 - 龍王殺しのプリンセス

As you can see, nothing is associated with bgm/th18_02, I wonder if it's a scrapped song?

Skyon'sMusicCollection

My upcoming debut album, currently in its early stages of work, will showcase a collection of fresh music I have been diligently crafting over the past two years. This compilation will include exclusive personal projects that have never been shared before. Additionally, the album will include remakes of tracks like 'Wild Party Cake' and 'Oh no they have Six Horns!'. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project! ^^

I hope you like the album cover design I did! :3

I have to listen to the latest albums.. AAAAAAAAAA TwT

My thoughts on the new Hifuu Album

Well, Taboo Japan Disentanglement just came out! after reading the story and listening to the tracks, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the album!

The tracks

I'm going to go through the album tracks in order and give my individual thoughts on them.

1 - Morning Comes on Tanabata Hill (Original)

This is surprisingly emotional for an opening track. The new drum set here is wonderful, and the piano is soothing and atmospheric. I do think the melody is kind of all over the place though, and it's a bit hard to follow. All in all, a really nice calming song.

2 - Tinkerbell of Inequality (Original)

I've been excited to listen to this one ever since the album got announced because of the interesting title, and HOLY SHIT THIS SONG IS AMAZING. The instrumentation is so weird but oh so good. The track is ominous but jazzy. The melody is catchy. It reminds me of GFC and CoSD, with it's apocalyptic futuristic vibe. This is easily the best track in the album. Solid.

3 - Does the Forbidden Door Lead to This World, or the World Beyond? (HSiFS arrangement)

Now we get to the arrangements. The song is sporting a new drum set and piano, and I can safely say that the instrumentation is a huge improvement to the original. To be frank, I'm not too much of a fan of HSiFS's instrumentation, now don't get me wrong, the songs are great, but they suffer a bit because the instruments ZUN uses are a bit lackluster. Here, that is not the case, this a great arrange. Something I do want to note, is that the BPM of the arranges seems to be lowered a bit from their original counterparts. Not a bad thing, but it's interesting to keep in mind as you keep listening.

4 - Smoking Dragon (UM arrangement)

HOOOOOOLYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIT. The key change. the new drumset. the new, climactic/triumphant atmosphere. The new section added in??? It's all so perfect, this does the original song justice. I love this so much. One of my favorite arranges in the whole album.

5 - Mugen Noh ~ Taboo Marionette (Original)

This song is calming, but sinister sounding as well. It hits a nice balance of calming and uneasy. The instrumentation, once again, is really good here. I do feel that the electric guitar a bit later in feels a bit out of place, but in general, the song creates a really good atmosphere, and it's definitely a standout track.

6 - Crazy Backup Dancers (HSiFS arrangement)

I don't really have much to say about this one, other than that it's a fairy good arrangement of the original song. ZUN added a new synth(?) into the mix, which gives it a distinct sound from the original. It's fun!

7 - Yorimashi Between Dreams and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia (AoCF arrange)

ZUN. you can't keep getting away with this. This is peak. The song has a newly added intro of the Necrofantasia main theme before the song kicks in, and WOW does it create an atmosphere. The instrumentation is once again great and the key change (that just dissapears half-way through lmao) is also really cool. This is a great track.

8 - The Lonesome Path in Hitachi (Original)

A surprisingly upbeat track given the title. It's composed in swing rhythm, and because of that, it kinda reminds me of Let's Live in a Lovely Cemetery and Like the Brilliance of Fairies. Not that that's a bad thing, but it does make it sand out a bit less for me. Still a good track, though! Also ZUN chill out with those reverbs

9 - The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo (WBaWC arrange)

I like the new choir here, it makes it sound more dramatic. I am a bit disappointment that the flute kind of overshadows the Spooky Lead from the original, but it's not a bad arrangement at all. And man this drum set is really doing wonders rn

10 - The Concealed Four Seasons (HSiFS arrange)

WOW. TALK ABOUT A GREAT FINALE. This arrangement tweaks just enough without completely changing the vibe of the original song, and it's fantastic. About halfway through, there's a key change that makes it sort of feel like a phase 2 to the song, and it really completes the whole package. Fantastic.

11 - Apparitions Abound Even Outside of Night (Original)

Oh cool, what a nice, calming, uplifting trac- ZUN WHAT ARE YOU DOING. So the song starts off very calming and atmospheric, and then turns into digi-rock like a minute in. It's kind of jarring but I think it works, the song is still fantastic, and does a good job wrapping things up for the album, and the story. Speaking of which...

The story (spoiler warning)

Without going into too much detail, because I highly recommend you read the story on your own, the predictions of Merry and Renko being separated where not exactly wrong, although I think the story was a lot less heartbreaking than everyone thought it would've been. It serves as a nice drama and really shows how these characters relate to each other. Seeing Renko drop everything just to save Merry shows that even if they get on the wrong foot, they're still the Hifuu club, through and through.

In conclusion, this album is absolutely stellar. ZUN's instrumentation this time around is incredibly diverse, and I can tell he was having fun experimenting. The story is also well written, showcasing these two characters and their conflicting yet similar ideals. Please, go give this album a listen! It may have been 8 years since the last hifuu album, but it was definitely worth the wait.

Guess what? Today is my birthday, which means I am officially turning 18. It marks the beginning of my journey into adulthood, I suppose...

I know this post is going to be a little long and some few vents here and there but, i want to express my gratitude for your support when I posted my (Not so best) first Eosd arrangement of Alice's stage. Initially, when I didn't have my laptop, and for my very dedicated early viewers who have been with me since the beginning of my channel. A fun fact for my newer viewers - I used to upload Gacha content (Yes, I used to be a silly cringy Gacha YouTuber! :3). Most of it consisted of cringy and unoriginal stories that I created, featuring a silly and bubbly half-dog boi named 'Doggy Sky,' who is still the mascot of this channel (now known as Skyon because he's like my child!). Many of my earlier works lacked originality as storytelling wasn't my strong suit teheh... It's unfortunate that these old videos are lost now. I wish I had archived them so I could revisit them and chuckle at my own cringy creations before deleting them. It's sad that a part of my channel history has disappeared...

[Also another fun fact about my channel's name, 'Derpy_UwU2006'. The name 'Derpy' is inspired by one of my favorite Mlp characters named Derpy, 'UwU' is a nod to my furry phase :P, and '2006' represents of course my birth year.]

One year comes by, I came across a specific Touhou arrangement called "A World Nightmares Never Seen Before" from Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom in the style of the 6th installment.

I really like how they arranged the theme! Afterwards, I wanted to listen to more arrangements done in that style. Soon enough, I discovered  @_boga0817 ​​​​'s channel from this video.

I was mesmerized by their amazing work in imitating this style! The more of their works I watched, the stronger my desire became to arrange like them. They heavily influence me to start my own Touhou arrangements. I have been following them since around 2020. Initially, I used to upload their unreleased or work-in-progress arrangements from their Google Drive. However, I realized it was wrong to take their work without consent and eventually deleted the uploads. Thanks again to  @_boga0817 ​​​​​ for inspiring me to arrange!✨

I just really adore the sound of the SD-90 in that classic Windows installment from this incredible franchise that has captured my interest for the past 6 years.

Anyways I would like to apologize for not uploading more arrangements as promised. Balancing personal life and dealing with burnout has made it challenging to keep up with my commitments. The whole idea of turning 18 is particularly overwhelming as it marks the end of my childhood, leading me to reflect on everything and feeling a bit depressed. I'm feeling very anxious about what the next chapter in my life will bring, filled with uncertainties about the future. I fear that I may end up feeling very lonely due to struggling with social interactions and lack of friends. Being alone most of the time has left me lacking in social skills and makes talking to people difficult for me... I simply want to express my gratitude to everyone for sticking with me through this journey. In 2024, despite the challenges I've faced, I am choosing to remain optimistic and envision a bright future ahead..!✨

To wrap up this post, here is a silly old drawing I made of Skyon.. In 2019! :3

OooOooooOoooOoOooh

The average PC-98 Touhou girl and the average Windows Touhou girl for fun and maybe clothing practice. Their shirts are intentionally a little weird to match ZUN's early costume designs.

I'm a huge fan of your music!! The remix of Angels Legend has been in my brain for a few days. But Six horns, and Lucid Clouds are my favorites... What are your thoughts on Dolls in Pseudo Paradise? Whether it be the story, the music, or your interpretations of either.

Awee! Thank you so much for liking my dazzling work and arrangements! It truly warms my heart to know that people enjoy my music as well. Interestingly, I initially struggled in music class and was eventually asked to leave because I wasn't considered 'good enough'. However, this setback led me to teach myself music the hard way. After two years of self-teaching, I have composed several theme songs stored on my USB drive due to their large file sizes taking up space on my laptop. Perhaps it's time for me to release some of these works that have been collecting dust.

Anyway, regarding DIPP (Dolls in Pseudo Paradise), I think the story is fantastic and exceptionally unique. It stands out from most of ZUN's albums because of the seven honest men's murders, and the narrative itself is quite dark. It makes sense now why theres was a change for the story. Overall I really enjoy Dipp, my favourite track from that ancient album would be "Forest of Dolls" and "Strange Oriental Discourse"!✨

YESSS

So I came up with my own take as to what the scrapped Touhou character, Rin Satsuki could’ve looked like! I tried to imitate the EoSD style but it’s so nuanced it was hard to do lol. Also I realized her outfit kinda looks like Marisa’s, but tbh all the early Windows designs kinda blend together

[d6ggyb0x]

I had this picture on my gallery so I decided to share it with y'all! :3

One year ago, my World History class made us do a project focusing on WW1 propaganda posters. Interestingly, after i finish working on it my teacher saw my work and even asked if they could keep it! Due to their strong liking for it. ^^!!
