Marasy is a lot more popular though. I have them both on my watchlist on nicovideo. | ||

Even more if it's a popular song. Bakeneko barely gets 15,000 views on most of her videos. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler [Voile, the Magic Library] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Aex6tzH-s By EastNewSound. Stunning vocals. Simply... stunning. + Show Spoiler [Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3qncCzumoA&playnext=1&list=PL03074FB51B9E40E3 By Magnum Opus. A bit slower than I like the song to be, but still good. + Show Spoiler [The Skybound Flower Capital] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otItLfvU4IM By SYNC.ART'S. I shortened the title of the song to fit the spoiler. I think the shortened version flows better anyway. Say it a few times, and compare it to "The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky". Doesn't it sound more fluid? (God, that sounds like something ZUN would say in his music notes...) + Show Spoiler [Dark Side of Fate] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTQyeUUKNO8 By Sonic Hybrid Orchestra (SHO). What is up with Hina's face in that picture, by the way? She looks constipated. O_o + Show Spoiler [Gensokyo, Past and Present ~ Flower Land] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTiZNICIvlg By PHEVOTT. The vocals, holy shit. Powerful and beautiful! I've never heard of this circle before, but this sounds like something I should be investigating. + Show Spoiler [Lullaby of Deserted Hell] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPH0XIwAuT8 By Drop. Utsuho looks like a frog... Other than that, short and sweet arrangement. Liberal use of the folksy sound that defines Drop's style. | ||

Wow, that's a bit surprising =O Wow, Aeres with another great spam post full of hopefully great music! Speaking of Umbrella, kkcwkoh uploaded a rather relaxing piano arrangement + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/user/kkcwkoh?blend=1&ob=5#p/a/u/1/5lA6FFAb1XM and the picture is so cute and pretty  | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Concerning Magnum Opus] + They're a good circle, but I feel a lot of their arrangements lack power to them. One YouTube comment I read yesterday summed it up well, saying something along the lines of "It's basic Touhou, but with rock and synth. They don't really do anything that makes them stand out a whole lot, and the fairly bland instruments used don't lend themselves to the power you might hear in CROW'SCLAW or Demetori." Paraphrased, but that was the sentiment, and I happen to agree. For instance, their arrangement of U.N. Owen was Her?. Listen to the song, and make note of the chorus with the strings. It's... shallow. Now listen to the section from 0:23 to 0:30. That's the sort of thing that I think Magnum Opus isn't really doing enough of. That single seven-second sound bite is fucking epic, and then the song is squandered because the rest of it is... boring. Really, that's what it comes down to. Magnum Opus gets boring when everything sounds the same, and it doesn't help that all the sameness is lacking in power. I'm not trying to throw this circle under the bus or anything. All of their songs are at least decent, and quite a handful of them are excellent. I just think they're not heavy enough, even when they try to be. + Show Spoiler [My favorites from Magnum Opus] + | ||

Anyways, I'm back here to ask if you guys have any tips for Touhou 12.3. Is there a place where I can watch the vods? I main Sakuya, by the way. Also, I really don't get how to use Hamachi. Is there a tutorial up somewhere? Thanks in advance. | ||

You can join multiple Networks. Each Network you are in, it is as if you are connected to the people in that Network like LAN, so you can play with them on LAN as if they were at your house or such. You can create networks with a network name and a password, and give them to people to join. That's all there is to it | ||

Yesh, that song was one of my favorites from the album~ Here is the same vocalist on Gensokyo the Gods Loved + Show Spoiler + It is really good as well Wish they did a vocal arrangement of Flowering Japan I have yet to hear a good vocal version of it, and it's definitely on the top of the list below Nuclear Fusion for me Loved the nice and simple piano melody of Umbrella Very very nice arrangement of At the End of the Spring by Demetori~ + Show Spoiler + | ||

+ Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler [Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret…] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gytYNFPhypw By RD-Sounds. Holy fuck, I found it at last. An awesome orchestrated version of Locked Girl. I'm getting chills right now. :D + Show Spoiler [The Fantastic Legend of Tohno] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmBGMrUc4wE&feature=related By Shiroi Shimashima Usagi. I personally really love the Oriental theme of this piece. I feel like I'm being transported to some feudal Japanese festival when this plays. Some might not like the vocals interspersed through the song, but I guess it's a matter of taste. + Show Spoiler [Love-Colored Master Spark] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe99ZgKvVCA By Foxfactory / Kitsune Workshop. The most beautiful and relaxing LCMS I've ever heard. So good~ + Show Spoiler [Higan Retour ~ Riverside View] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWVwhPgMcz0 By Azure & Sands. This is one of, like, 3 vocal arrangements from A&S that I like. The vocals might turn some off at first, but the chorus is really nice. + Show Spoiler [Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf9FaHRjOBw&playnext=1&list=PL6B3E891383369EC1 From Lix. One of the YouTube Comments sums it up nicely: Ah, what a peaceful autumn morning, floating in the breeze near the waterfall, letting the water hit your face. Yeah, it's pure bliss. + Show Spoiler [The Bridge People No Longer Cross] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Of06PT6N7A By N-tone. Such a strange arrangement. It has energy, yet it's so subdued. It sounds like some sort of cave theme you'd hear in a Star Ocean game. (By the way, Motoi Sakuraba is almost as awesome as ZUN. :D) + Show Spoiler [Sky Ruin] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1OVZHpJ2co By UI-70. Like Rural Makai City Esoteria, I've never really heard much of Sky Ruin, and assumed that it too was subpar. Fortunately, UI-70 is just so boss that it's quickly becoming one of my favorite stage themes. Well, I was gonna end it at that, until I ran into this: + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5U1THLG6ZQ Green-Eyed Jealousy, by C-CLAYS. Words can't describe how beautiful this is, in a melancholy way. I can almost feel Parsee's loneliness and despair reverberating throughout the song. | ||
