Ok, so when I first discovered Thousand Leaves, I was kinda going through a phase where the only music I liked was Death Thrash. It is kinda my favorite to play the day of Christmas rather than those “Touhou X Christmas” songs (which I will be getting to closer to the day of Christmas). I love how lovely this instrumental arrangement is. You put on this song and for seven minutes, you are in Gensokyo celebrating the Christmas season with everyone. You need to relax while getting ready to do the runs to and from both sides of the family. You think to yourself, “Boy, I really hope the little cousins don’t reenact The Second Battle of Fallujah this year with Nerf guns because if I drop a Christmas cookie again, I think there will be one kid missing from the family Christmas picture.” You grab you the cup and stand by the window as you watch the snow glide down from the heavens like curtains of bullets from Subterranean Animism. You walk to the kitchen to make yourself a cup of coffee and make breakfast. The snow is falling outside as you rise out of bed in your favorite, Touhou themed pajamas. “Fall of Fall ~ Autumnal Waterfall” by 戦ピー This is a great rock track for those wanting a nice, wintry rock song. I absolutely can see an epic battle in the snow between Reimu and Yukari set to this song. One of my favorite things this song does is really bring the power to the refrain. Vocal arrangements that involve “Necrofantasia” always tend to “wow” me.
Mintea’s voice melds so well with the instrumentals. So when I started to listen to this track I was so happy to hear some good, quality vocals. This is the reason I kinda tend to really enjoy vocal arrangements. There is a lot of work that goes into getting that perfect take, that one tough note, pushing through illness to get some work done. This was back in the day when I was a lonely dorm dweller in college, but I was seeing it on songs by circles like Shibyanan Records, EastNewSound, heck I even saw it on a couple Orange Jam tracks. I have no idea if it is just people within the community or what but I have seen comments on YouTube where people are getting upset about vocals in their Touhou arranges. “ネクロファンタジア ～ Necro Fantasia” by XL Project So, without further delay, let’s hop into the tracks. I really enjoyed this week’s selection because they were fun and highlights the feeling of the season. What I found this week were songs that I kind of got big into. This week we will be 15 songs on the playlist, which is plenty to just put on in the background and leave it going on a loop. Unlike most people, who will be cowering in their snow bunkers, I will be enjoying it in my living room, with a nice warm cup of coffee, and the nice Touhou tracks I picked for this week’s Winter in Gensokyo. So prepare for the “end of the world” snowfall, I decided to buy all my bread, milk and water ahead of time and gathered a list of music I will be listening to as the killer snow hits us. What makes this even more confusing is the fact that the day after I post this article up, we are supposed to get our first “big” snowfall of… drumroll…under an inch! One day it is bitter, cold with freezing winds and very dry then the next day you wake up and it is a warm fall day with heavy rain. Winter is a fickle mistress here at the Louisville studio.
