"The wind was blowing with considerable power. The stars, shining upon the land, was gracing the rough ground with their blessed light. From atop the mountain, one could see the entirety of Gensokyo. The Scarlet Devil Mansion, The Human Village, The Forest of the Lost... And standing proudly down the mountain was the Hakurei Shrine, with its divine yet rusty energy flowing from it. The sight truly was a Blessing of the Gods."
Aaaaah... Nothing, and I mean, nothing ever manages to beat some Knights of Round. This circle is forever my personal favourite, simply because of how masterful their tracks are. Post-Rock is such a fantastic genre, and KoR manages to bring the full potential out of it. In that regard, this circle will always be the best atmospheric circle around for me.
If that wasn't obvious enough, I'm in love with this track. Everything about it is... so otherworldly. Atmosphere is an important factor when it comes to music, and this track created such an atmosphere with an amazing talent. It's the kind of song that I listen to while taking a bath and glancing at the stars above, it creates quite an unique moment.
There's also another thing that attracts me about this arrangement. This track is an arrange of Unknown X, which I find the lack of arrangements pretty disturbing. Sure, the theme is average at best, I concur. But it has much potential as well, and this track proves it. And let's be honest, the Catfish is the most powerful entity ever created. Yes yes, even more powerful than Yukari!
For one reason or another, hearing this song always made me picture Kanako sitting on the top of a mountain, glancing from above with a melancholic look. I don't know why I picture Kanako, but it just seems so right to me. The song simply has that sad yet somewhat melancholic vibe to it, like an endless dream. I figure that it fits a Goddess rather well, since she lives for centuries upon centuries, glancing from above and watching as the world changes... Not that she's remorseful of living or anything, but I would think that even a Goddess could sometimes wish for death.
I searched far and wide for a perfect picture, which I sadly haven't found. I wanted to have a Kanako picture similar to the one that I picked here, but with her sitting and a gorgeous scenery. Instead, however, I went and took this one. Even though it isn't what I first had in mind, I'd say that it fits very well what I wished to show.
With that being said, I certainly do hope that you folks will enjoy this Knights of Round goodness.

A hot day of Summer, with a somewhat fresh air bruising on the faces of the residents who were out to play outside. Such weather was perfect for fishing, and these girls took the occasion to do just that.
Talk about an amazingly tiring month while doing absolutely nothing in the purest form of the sense. See, Ive actually sprained my left ankle pretty badly near the beginning of the month, and since I cant even climb four stairs or walk without having the balance of a drunken old man, Im stuck at home. Its been like that for a few weeks now, and its starting to feel a bit boring. Sure, the bright side comes with the advantage that I can finally sleep properly, but not being able to see my teacher and good friends is making me feel a tad bit lonely. Oh well, at least homework exists, so Im not exactly wasting time doing nothing productive (then again, Im not exactly doing as much work as I should either).
That matter aside, Ive actually encountered yet another problem regarding C89 content. Seems like a lot of the albums werent actually from the newest Comiket for some reason, which confuses me considering that they were listed in Dojin.cos Ranking system. That misunderstanding kind of just left me in the wind, really. For example, I had Take&Tale in mind to upload soon, but it happens that it wasnt from C89 after all. Its not like Ill just forget about these simply because they arent from the event, but that situation limited the content that I was planning to share here for the occasion, which is a shame.
I guess that in the end, Ill probably just go back to my usual schedule instead of trying too hard to participate in the event. That felt a bit like a letdown at first, but Im getting tired to scratch my head because of such ridiculous issues. Besides, its not like me to limit myself so strictly for such matters to begin with, so Ill bring back the format that I feel the most comfortable with.
Anyway. Im glad to see another CarrotWine album being released. Ive always loved this circle, so its nice to see that theyre still present in the community. A nice mix of Orchestral, Traditional and other varied genres made this album quite enjoyable all around.
I was thinking of uploading the Nuclear Fusion track at first, because of how absolutely epic and amazing it is, but I refrained myself from doing so since I got a feeling that a certain someone will get their hands on it in due time. Instead, I went with the more mellow track from the album, which fits my channel pretty well, I daresay. Its not breathtaking in any way, but the overall feeling of fresh air really sold me. Its simply so mellow and soothing, which reminds me of Summer. Finding this picture only added to the fuel, and I knew that itd make a good upload.
I hope that you will all enjoy as usual, and take care ladies and misters. You can perhaps expect some more productivity, or maybe not. We shall see.

A calm afternoon. Barely any sounds, the streets are empty, and you almost feel like no one lives in the city. Its the kind of moments where youd simply want to glance outside and taste the rare occasion. After a while, you suddenly see a figure. It was your good friend, Maribel. She had a bag of donuts in her hands, and was smiling at you. Had a rough day? she asks. Daily day of work. The girl then hands you the bag, still smiling. How about a little snack, then? You nod before inviting her in, knowing that it will be one snack to enjoy.
Greetings, everyone! Man, this has been one rough time, I tell you. You could literally say that I lived in the paper world for the week, which sounds oddly appealing, but its not. That aside, though, Im actually finished! Yesterday was my last exam, which was a French exam, by the way. Nailed it with a good 83% to add another sweet score to my total! Im quite satisfied with the result.
Anyway, studies arent the only reason that I actually stopped uploading for the week. The other reason is that I felt like I needed to take a break from both Touhou and Youtube in general. It was that feeling where I simply didnt feel satisfied with what I was doing, which could be resumed as a crave for change. So I took a break from Touhou and Youtube, and instead went and played a lot of video games! That one week made me realize how much gaming missed me, and I consider it a good choice to have dedicated myself to that. I replayed lots of games, such as Metroid Prime and Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. I also continued my current file of Fire Emblem Awakening, and started a new file of Mario & Luigi Dream Team. In other words, I was busy, but for different reasons.
Onward the arrangement now. Hediard is an album that Ive kept on my computer for a while now. I had the intention of uploading more than one track, but considering that its only a five tracks album, I will refrain myself from doing so.
I choose the first track of the album, since I feel like it shares perfectly how Im feeling these days. Its almost the end of the school year, and Im starting to feel very tired. Tired, but also glad to see that Summer Breaks are soon coming. This arrangement has that feeling of sweet afternoon to it, wouldnt you say? A rather simple piece, but I still find it charming nonetheless.
Picture-wise, searching for Maribel/Renko pictures is a pain. Theres so much variety, but none fits what I seek. This one, however, clicked right away. I didnt even have to search deeper, since I already knew that it would be the perfect match.
Thank you for listening as per usual, and I certainly do hope that you will all enjoy~
Before closing, I have a little special upload on the way, unrelated to Touhou. Ill possibly upload it next, or wait for a more special occasion. We shall see.

Greetings everyone. Today is a pretty special day. Why, may you ask? Well, it happens that I am now at 100 subscribers now (103 to be exact)! And to commemorate such an event, I decided to make a special little video.
Ive been wondering about which theme to pick, since there are so many that I could have chose, such as Candid Friend or even Desire Drive. In the end, though, I went and picked what is probably considered as the most party and upbeat theme in all Touhou; Broken Moon. I mean, if a little oni loli drinking Sake and destroying buildings everywhere isnt festive enough for you- then you are normal. Sanity in Gensokyo has no purpose, so who cares? I sure hold dear mine, though.
Anyway, I had a stupid thought that crossed my head while creating this video. What if... this whole thing is too upbeat and amazing for only 100 subscribers...? is a thought that crossed my mind more than once. Although Im quite happy to see that I reached the first milestone, I just started to doubt if this video here was perhaps too much for such a small event. The entire thing sounds like something that Id see for a 500 subscribers event. I asked Marisa about this, and well, he basically just told me that I should upload for what matters. I then finalized my choice and went to upload this video. I took his words as advice, and thats probably a good decision.
Now comes the obvious part. Id like to give my thanks to all the folks who decided to subscribe to my channel. This channel of mine might be small and without any particular traits, but Im sure that it will grow into something worth checking out in due time. I definitely intend on continuing uploading Touhou arrangements for a while, so lets see how far this channel can get.
To finish this up, I just want to say that this arrange is awesome. I mean, I admit, I only discovered it about three days ago, but I knew that it would be the song to put. It was meant for festive purposes. And I also want to say that Suika is awesome, because Suika and Sake goes along. Speaking of alcohol here, maybe that I should open myself a little bottle and enjoy this day? Or just stick to my usual Green Tea.
I hope that you all enjoy, and thank you once more!
