>>51131090>WBaWC themedBASED, best game in the franchise. Secondaries and fake fans about to SEETHECOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE YOU FUCKING EOSDFAGS COOOOOOOOOOOOPE
>>51131137
>>51131137Yes very surprising choice when the last album was based on HSiFS.
>>51131137I want Keiki to give me a blowjob, drink my cum, then drink my pee and tell me it was delicious while she makes a :3 face.

>>51131090Very fun>>51131188Thank you.I am fairly new to the music CDs, this will come with a hifuu club written chapter or something, how do they work?
>>51131192Each music track in the album will come with a short story that ties into the larger arc of the album, which in turn is tied to the greater Hifuu story
>>51131201Thank you.Are there any kind anons that translate it here when these come out?My japanese still sucks
>>51131206There MIGHT be one or two anons willing to rough TL on release, but usually the wiki will get it translated within a week or two
>>51131188Deer beast spirits, huh?
>>51131090Has Renko's hat shrunk or something?
>>51131242yeah it's the purply red dye in her hair making it shrink
>>51131251She's also padding her chest apparently.
>>51131188>11. To the Humans Who Honor Failure, Their Next 2 MilleniaIs this a reference to Jesus? Idk, my brain just went with the "two more millennia" meme instantly.
>>51131259I took it to be about the girl themselves being two millennia into the future from now. Considering the last track is often the two recollecting on their adventure as the story ends, I think that makes sense.
place your betshow autistic is Renko going to act
>>51131282She escaped the police already(it seems), so there's nothing stopping her now.
>>51131282There's no way she does something like kicking the jizo again
>>51131282total deer death
>>51131302do not the deer
Wasn't deer hunting associated with both the Moriya shrine and Yuiman?
>>51131308The album has Yuiman's theme, so the local deers probably aren't safe
>>51131317First Jizo, now the deer? When will Renko be stopped?
Quit slandering Renko. She's done nothing to warrant it. Further comments will be dealt with.
Deer makes good burgers. Just sayin.
Renko doesn't need to do anything now, even the possibility of her committing a crime is enough for people to slander her.
>>51131282>>51131296She's going to suplex a haniwa.
>>51131282Eh, the title is about ruined utopia and while Renko specialises in breaking modern laws (desecration of religious idolatry, breaking and entering), Merry specialises in breaking more ethical laws (grave robbing, vagrancy, trespassing on private property)For something like this I think Merry is the more likely criminal.
>>51131369Merry got jealous of all the attention Renko got so she's trying to do some illegal activities herself.
>>51131090is there any hope of getting this without the early entry ticket? i assume he sells out his entire inventory before most people can enter the building.
>>51131399In my experience he only sells out by 1:30-2pm. ZUN only sells one item and he has a ton of stock.Last time I queued at about 12 and still got it.
>>51131414nice, i might have a chance then>queued at about 12for comiket itself or for ZUN's booth?
>>51131188>a beautiful and pleasant crimeThey do say that the miracle of creating life is beautiful...No matter the roofies used to obtain said life
>>51131188>3. The Great Fantastic Underground Railway NetworkFuck yes, love that song.>8. Beast MetropolisNice.Cant wait for the story too.
>>51131458>The Great Fantastic Underground Railway NetworkWithin the story, that sounds like it could be a reference to the train in Retrospective.
>>51131426Sorry, should have clarified it was ZUN's booth.
Any theories about the story?
>>51131599Something something AI recent news storyThe background on the CD will be AI generated
>>51131599Maribel stops acting crazy now that she's no longer wearing her evil youkai hat.Renko picks up the slack.
>>51131618Renko also has a youkai hat?!
>>51131657No, Renko is 100% natural human autism, passed down the Usami line for generations!
>>51131599As with the previous one, I think Merry is gonna end up in Hell (again), and maybe you'd get a vague depiction of Keiki or the Yakuza but from the perspective of a meek human. Judging by the cover art and track names, I'm thinking the overall plot is gonna start with the Hifuus visiting newly designated historical/touristy site in Nara, but with Merry entering the border or something in the middle. Along the way you'll get ZUN's usual cynical musings on capitalism defiling actual culture and history, maybe with a line on how humans are now no more slaves than beasts.
>>51131599Given the heavy WBaWC influence I wouldn't be surprised if there's some flavour of the Beast Metropolis' unchecked excess ruining natural systems mirroring data centers destroying natural ecosystems
The last few albums have all been summer stories. If ZUN avoiding clarifying Renko and Maribel's status in university?
>>51132379Almost definitely. Maybe he just doesn't have as much interest in that aspect of them the further he gets from his own university days. You could argue that TJD could potentially take place after they graduate since Renko's papers aren't mentioned to be exams or anything school-related.
>>51132391I assumed Renko was just a genius and participated in physics conferences before graduating.
Does anyone know when the music and story will go online?
>>51131369Who cares about the laws of a government that is attempting to slap an expiration date on you
>>51131137Time to replay it.
>>51132794it's usually between 3 hours and one week
>>51131188>The Great Fantastic Underground Railway NetworkI'm touching my johnson
>4 years since the last spin-off game made by ZUN>12 years since the last good one>BUT LE MOOSIC CD WAOW YAAAASretards
>>51133646If you think most of the newer games have been bad, why would you want more of them?
>>51133648FW was well worth the money so obviously he can still make something goodbetter just an average game than food for secondaries anyhow
>>51133667No one got into Touhou thru the Hifuu CDs, you still run into people who don't know the CDs have stories. By the time people get to them they have most likely already played the games.
>>51133676>By the time people get to them they have most likely already played the games.you're awfully optimistic
>>51133705Turkroach, kill yourself.
>>51133646holy shit you are such a secondary LMAO
>>51133646Which CD is your favorite?
>>51131090Interesting that Renko is holding that card with what looks to be a kofun on it.
>>51133676>No one got into Touhou thru the Hifuu CDsI got into Touhou through the Hifuu CDs.
>>51134321How?
>>51134332I was in a big music phase. Someone posted a webm of Moonsoul's music box arrange of Merry the Magician on another image board. I really liked it so I looked up the original. Then I read through the comments to learn it's part of a story, so I listened to all of GFC and then eventually the other Hifuu CDs and DiPP. Then I wanted to know how Hifuu played into the greater series and that's what led me into the main series.This was a little bit after LoLK came out. I knew of Touhou from general 4chan and meme culture but I never gave it a real look before.
>>51131302no, renko, no!
>>51134306There were also a lot of haniwa figurines in the Nara tombs.
>>51131188Fuck this list is so good, even the song name goes hard too. The theme seem to be about the future of mankind
I cannot under the fact Renko is looking more and more like Sumireko, their hair color are also similar nowNot stated to be related btw
>>51131090Renko has red eyes now, she might be turning into a yook!
>>51135896Yes, Renko YES
>>51136625they already looked similar before turning them both into redpurpleheads
>>51133646The games were always in service to the music, you know.
>>51131137It's good but I wouldn't call it the best.Otter shot is really overpowered for no good reason.
>>51133646We are due for a ZUN side game this year but given the special circumstances (EoSD remake) it's possible that he just didn't have the time or desire to put one out.
>>51012704The pattern...
>>51139114that sucks, as sloppy as Marisa's side game was at least it was pretty funwe need a new Aya/Hatate starring photo game
>>51139114I was going to say side games are not that common of an occurrence until I checked the release dates and yeah, we actually are due for one, HBM already being 4 years old feels weird to me. Kinda hope something more substantial can come out, although 2027 at least has TH21 locked in. Even Tasofro isn't helping since 17.5 is from 2021. Aquastyle isn't my favorite developer but maybe that partnership with them for the remake can lead to more original official content in the future. Anything but EoSD remake paving the way for more remakes. I have EoSD, i've played it already.2010 was GFW & DS2014 was ISC2018 was VD2022 was HBM
>>51139300Great Fairy Wars 2: The War to End All Wars
>>51139114>>51139343I'm reasonably sure in one of his radio shows ZUN said to consider the EoSD remake as the year's big project, but the evidence for that would be somewhere in the depths of those twitter translation threads for the radio shows, so I doubt I'll find it.
>>51139114>>51139343>>51139569okay never mind I tracked it down relatively quickly
>>51139491this too, its time for playable Clownpiece ZUN
>>51131090Will the story be about Merry losing her hat?
>>51142112not the first time she's been hatless
>>51142405yumemi on da table
>>51133646You are the most pretentious nigger to have ever lived.
>>51133646I will label you a quaternary.
>>51143062>>51142963>simple fact gets retards this mad
>>51143085Madokunny won't fuck you bro.
>>51142472oh naw!!!! they shrunk da yumemi
It will be cool to see the Hifuu club go back to their origins, robbing graves.
