edit: lol I had no idea "estha" was this well known outside of japan
<br>

So as it turns out, a friend of mine happens to do music on the side. And what do you know, it aint so shabby---

I actually enjoy a lot of his songs, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to paste a few on TL, seeing as how there are touhou players and general game music fans on these boards.

This one has me hooked atm in particular--

Your friend is estha? Isn't he the guy who runs the circle XL Project? Admittedly, I haven't listened to many of their albums, but damn, that's awesome! :o

afaik he ueses "estha" as his artist name (so I just use that to youtube his shit

P)
As for his site, I know that this http://www.xlproject.cc/ is the site for his upcoming release, but I have no idea if he sells past tracks (I imagine he has an itunes store or something...)

Guess I'll call the guy later today since he's not responding on skype atm

I'm honestly surprised the guy was this well known but hey, it's cool if I can get him to chitchat with audience on the other side of the globe ^^.

Oh hey, I've enjoyed quite a few songs from XL Project albums. That's quite cool. Do you know if he has anything planned for summer Comiket or Reitaisai SP?

According to his site http://www.xlproject.cc/ and also from talking to him, seems like he's putting out original work for this summer's event (rather than rearranges)

He was also quoted as saying "I need more time to work on winter's stuff..." X__X

I thought it was gonna be some random dude who likes touhou, but no, out of all the people it could possibly be, your friend is ESTHA.

Is that the actual track name? *skeptical look on face*

I'd imagine it's the actual track name, since nnd also has a video with the same track title.

Just went to have a bite with him and he gave me this as a present haha.
(though I opted to pay for the meal in return)
