Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Not sure if this has been mentioned but:

all CD information concerning Touhou music can be found here.

CD, artist, remix, lyrics, vocals, etc.

http://www.jv44.info/cddb/index.php

arggg.. more reason for me to waste money on CDs

Does anyone know where to find LUV2's home page? (恋色疾走まーちん is on FFR)

muzie: http://www.muzie.co.jp/cgi-bin/artist.cgi?id=a006432
official page: http://ctbr.jp/

Also, you can add SUN3, homepage: http://succinicacid.hp.infoseek.co.jp/
Lunar Saturation is on FFR.

I'll add this in a bit, currently looking around for new happenings with the current artists list. Taking some time because some of them are making me look in weird places for info :S

SHIKI's stuff still hasn't hit the stores yet. Oh well, I'm done ordering those For the time being though, Harmonia (SHIKI, emi vocals and FAT who does the head composing) released a CD, Novelty, which hit the stores:

http://www.akibaoo.com/02/main/b/0/actionNameTxt/search?srchWordTxt=Harmonia

The first is the emi version, the second is the Hatsune Miku version.

Edit

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I was reading ゆうゆP's page just now and noticed this in one of the comments:

bakerｻﾝ引退のショックが癒えるくらいゆうゆｻﾝの復活がうれすぃ

baker's retiring!? nyooooooooooooo

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Baker is a moody person. As Yuuyu states, there is a good chance that he'll be back in like a month or something. Baker's site doesn't look like it's closing anytime soon.

IMd Tass to update LUV2 info.

Anyone know how to make Firefox read all Japanese unicodes? It reads only half. Like Yuuyu's homepage, OSTER's homepage etc. are all scrapped up, while muzie reads fine.

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

LUV2's stuff, which I'll be throwing into the main thread shortly. Didn't get around to SUN3, as I got distracted by LUV2's songs and finding CD info (as well as finding LUV2's mixi profile page ). Oh well, here's this for now

LUV2



official page: http://ctbr.jp/
muzie: http://www.muzie.co.jp/cgi-bin/artist.cgi?id=a006432

mp3 pack download:

None yet

CD info:

Rather long list of CDs:

http://ctbr.jp/content/works_c.html

あきばお~こく has the latest one, "僕は東方を「いい、見てる。」" plus a few others:

http://www.akibaoo.com/02/main/b/0/actionNameTxt/search?srchWordTxt=CTBR

Videos: http://www.nicovideo.jp/search/LUV2

Has some stepmania / beatmania videos, plus a few mentions in a couple of compilation videos

Regarding Permission

Already in FFR

Profile:

LUV2 is mainly a trance / house style song writer. Inspiration comes from hearing other music and thinking "Hey, wouldn't it be fun to make something like this?" Also understands that everyone has their likes and dislikes in music, but to at least take one listen before judging (which is awesome sounding ).

Most recent work: 僕は東方を「いい、見てる。」 if you're talking solo, オレノ嬢　if you're talking colab

Edit: With ゆうゆ’ｓ page in Firefox, you have to force the character encoding to SJIS for it to work. This is why I use Opera for all my Japanese artist browsing, as it doesn't seem to have that problem. This leaves Firefox to handle Gmail and Digg (which have weird side effects in Opera), plus IE for the sole purpose of viewing SHIKI's blog (it only works in IE :P)

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

LUV2 himself doesn't make bms files right?

SUN3 does.

Too bad MUN1 doesn't exist.

EDIT: I'm just looking around for more IIDX material. Which you can add to this... Yamajet, nekomima, Yuuyu, Shiki, all have bms. You can add that info somewhere for LRO players.

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Tossed LUV2 into the main mix. Don't see any mention of BMS files, but I could always send a mixi message / email or something and ask if there's a personal stash around or if he has a friend that does them. It looks like there's some stepmania / beatmania vids on nico nico. Unfortunately there's no links to the files used anywhere

[Xx{Midday}xX]

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Suggestion: Why not add a game subsection for each artist?

Many artists have simfiles for stepmania, as well as .bms files for Lunatic Rave Online. They should be mentioned. We should definitely add a FFR songs section too. Maybe even as detailed as already stepped files, files in queue, and files currently being stepped.

I can do that, just is going to take some time to research everyone and find out their files. Some I remember having them right in plain site, others I remember having to look for them.

In other news, livetune plans to re-release Re:Packaged to the masses on 8/27. The real kicker? You can pre-order it on AmazonJP AND it's currently ranked 19 in the ENTIRE music category. Like.. it's above Perfume and Capsule... Nuts.. plain nuts. That said, AmazonJP does overseas shipping, so here's the link for everyone interested:

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Actually, I'll sort that list out for you, and you can just relay it onto the main post. It'll include FFR, SM (to the extent of the major packs in jx's thread), and Beatmania (bms files are clearly stated on the homepages if existent).

FFR sources: FFR Songs List, FFR Queue Sticky, Token Level Ranks
SM Sources: HSMP, ODI, PPP, RF, SMG, SS, Toph, Touhou, Touhou P, Touhou PP, VGMP
Beatmania Sources: Every .bms file I have.

I haven't visited livetune since Light Song came out... should go there nao.

Also, think of adding AKHT and Saitama Saishuu Heeki, who already contribute to FFR.

EDIT: I have no idea what RSS Feed is except that it's the orange box with circular wave patterns on it. I sort of understand it's function, but I don't know how it works, and I've never used it before.

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

I just tossed his RSS feed to Opera (has a built in RSS reader) so I know when to visit the site again. In fact, that's how I manage going through all the people in the artists thread Occasionally I check their main pages too, just in case something goes up on there and not the blogs.. Fortunately for livetune, the blog IS the homepage, so it makes things easy

Edit And this just in... another OSTER PROJECT deal. This time without baker though :X

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

OSTER should focus more on originals... =_=

awk: rofl Rozen Maiden

I've got nothing to add atm.

I didn't know Ryu had 2 more songs going. WTF am I doing at this time of day? No idea.

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

OSTER should focus more on originals... =_=

OSTER might be making originals on the side. Remixes give you content to work with right away, originals ... whole new world of fun. I think it's a good way to keep fans entertained while you work on the larger stuff on the side.

awk: rofl Rozen Maiden

I totally want the VSQ file for that That's just nuts

I didn't know Ryu had 2 more songs going. WTF am I doing at this time of day? No idea.

Yeah Black Rock Shooter came out about week and a half, two weeks ago. Same with World is Mine.

Just to give an idea of how popular Ryu is:

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3825509

127 people singing it lol

[Xx{Midday}xX]

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Should add stuff about Worf.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/3799059

Lots to do with OSTER.

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Okay, now that that week of hell is over with, time for a few updates:

• New cranky collab album announced, "history Two"
• Cyber-Rainforce releases "under the aurora" on the muzie page
• livetune releases "Re:Packaged"'s new cover art on the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B001BOBYO0/. Artwork done by redjuice
• Phantasma is still alive, releases "Everlasting"
• rakia announces "Shiner", and I learn not to trust rss feeds for new release announcements
• stereo-chip announces work on newest song, yet to be named
• よよP　releases some pretty sweet track tests on his voice blog
• ゆうゆ is working on new songs and preparing for summer comic convention, so site updates will be sparse now.

So basically summer is full of win Even if I still have to work, at least some other people get tons of free time to make sweet new music. Summer comic convention.. also means new CD's might come out soon. I still can't find out where the ($($(($($($ I can buy Lunatic Phaser from D:<. It's driving me nuts..

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

Ah, didn't see rakia's new thing yesterday... must've missed it.

Glad to see you alive n kickin.

Re: Midday's Japanese Amateur Artist Intro

What's this? Our friend cosMo decided, hey let's release a CD album! So here you have it:

http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/cit/pagekit/0000/01/55/0000015520/index.html

Just threw in an order for it a few hours ago. btw, for anyone that's interested and doesn't have strong Japanese contacts (or does and feels bad bothering them all the time like me ), I've been using a nice service Celga to buy my stuff.

It's pretty much a proxy service. You order through them, they buy from Japanese websites, auctions for you, then ship it to you. You pay for internal shipping, the product price, shipping to US and of course service fees. However, I use them for とらのあな stuff a lot, and it's worked out pretty well. I find the stuff I actually want is generally not available through AmazonJP. Might add this to the main thread for people like me who were trying to figure that out at the time.
