I love the design! To me, this is the Pig album that represents “spring” the most (yep, even more than that yellow album we shall not name), and this is mostly for the design. Generally, I think Ranko puts more thoughts in lyrics/has more interesting lyrics, and the stuff written by the bear nowadays is quite meh, but his “Touhou trilogy” (Ichinichi, Giji Kazoku Nyuumon, and CHILD HOOD’S END) shows his writing talent. Lyrically-wise, this album stands out for being entirely written by Comp, though not the only one in the entire discography (it was the first one at the time, excluding Kansha Kangeki Amearare). (then they came back to milk Touhou more than usual, but that’s another story) But Touhou would have been always in their hearts, and never separated from it for real (and still making albums). They would have announced their major debut some months later and entered a new era. But in retrospect, I think the album marked the “end” of BUTAOTOME’s doujin phase. At the time most fans didn’t care about it, especially since Buta members didn’t say “this is our last album”. “Today is the last day – The Long Goodbye”. The title… is actually something that could fit a final album. Most of them are playable characters, and we learn a lot of things about Touhou and its universe through them. The humans are probably the most important (and versatile) characters in the world of Touhou. Kyou ga Saigo no Ichinichi is centered on the humans of Gensokyo, and the selection of original themes is based around them.
#Touhou time stopper full
This is a CD full of seasonal feelings of farewell and encounter, describing the memories and new journeys of each of the fantasy girls and their thoughts on life. Today is its fifth anniversary, and this is my way to celebrate it. But now, I can safely say it’s Kyou ga Saigo no Ichinichi. But the one answer became not really definite. Over the years, we got many other albums that I liked more (tho Yumekikou and Engen are still in the high tiers).
But putting aside their original works, my original answer was a tie between Oriental Yumekikou and Engen Kagura Uta. Chess is, and will always be my favorite BUTAOTOME album. Technically, my answer didn’t change since 2013. This post will also introduce a new format that will be used for future reviews (including the Kochuuten one that will be published later this month), let’s start! There have been albums I reviewed in a second moment, but I never wrote a proper second review.
Welcome to… a special review! I think this is the first time I decided to re-review an album.
