oh so that isn't a game? so that means a bunch of compilation stuffs. If my sister grabs that, I wonder if they'll sell well. The arrange CDs seems the most risky, since it's easier to convince a non-fan to buy the comic/illustration portion of this bundle, and unless it's someone like Caller (which doesn't exist irl of course), the arrange CDs won't be sought after.


Although that line up of comic artists/illustration artists is pretty stellar, a quick browse and I recognize quite a few (including one banpai akira, the touhou vania artist), but I guess that's to be expected for any toranoana compilation thingie though.

Ooo.. that sounds promising... I wonder how likely it is we can secure one of those bundles..

That's out at C82 right?

About a year ago, my little stepbrother heard me listening to + Show Spoiler [this] + and wanted it on his iPod. His musical taste is pretty weird for a ten-year old... he listens to all sorts of music that one doesn't really associate with when one is ten years old. A few days ago, I heard him listening to Ezel Ash again, and I was like, "Why exactly do you like that song?". He said (in that roundabout ten-year-old way) that he likes the idea of an instrumental, and then asked me if I could help him find some more songs like that.

Gentlemen. This is the hour. The moment is upon us... to create a new Touhoufag.

When he comes over next weekend, I'm gonna do my best to introduce him to new Touhou songs. Like I said, his taste in music is pretty odd, but I think he's a fan of the piano-with-guitar style. I'm gonna try and see if he likes minami from IOSYS, but other than that, I'm not really sure what other similar circles (or just particular songs) might interest him. Therefore, I am enlisting the services of the TLTHDT army to assist me!

Here are the qualifications for circles/songs:

• Must be instrumental. No vocals, unless they're just a chorus and not actual singing.
  
• Priority is on songs with a mixture of piano and guitar. I don't want CROW'SCLAW-level guitar, but it can't really be Maroon 5-level either. If that particular mixture isn't possible, then stuff along the lines of minami and xi-on.
  
• If there are any vocals, they must be done in good English. Those are hard to find, but I bet he'd like some of them (particularly T. Stebbins).
  
• The lolis are not relevant, only the songs. My plan is to eventually try and get my stepbrother to become a Sanae fanboy, just to piss off Caller, but that's not an issue for the moment. Therefore, don't recommend thirty different arrangements of Desire Drive or whatever, because he doesn't get that the songs are tied to characters and that might confuse him into thinking every song is the same. ._.

@yoshi, yup when we say we like ZUNpets, we mean everything that comes with them, and we certainly don't mean actual trumpets (though those are awesome too, just in a different way...).

@Dulluhan
That sounds amazing. Everything is made better with touhou, lol.
I would reccomend T-NODE I & II, two albums that share the circle name. Uniquely instrumented music, be it classical or synthesized. Best listened to intently while not doing much else. Actually this applies to all touhou music, so whenever I listen to a full album (as opposed to random songs I youtube), I actually concentrate on the music as opposed to just listening.

Also, in regards to piano playings, here's a long overdue start. I actually downloaded the sheet as soon as it was available on youtube, but never got the point where it was presentable.

Oh yea, D3, I REALLY like your flawless clothing of the celestials playing. In general, I only know a small part of the melody, but the rest is amazing as well.
