This is a song I came across during a random spotify shuffle a while ago, and I was instantly taken by the near immediate combination of urgency and anxiety, the latter mostly coming through in some of the strange melodies and discordant clashing of some sounds. KAFU is a voicebank I haven't come across as much as nearly as often as the classic Vocaloids but I find the general tone especially when used in a song as chaotic as this to be very interesting. There's an inherent clash between the feel of the instrumentation and the voice for the most part, barring a few moments where the voice comes down a bit along with the rest of the song in a very melancholic sort of way, which, looking at the song lyrically is fairly fitting. Despite the fast paced somewhat light(?) energy it seems to present at times, this is definitely not a happy song, though, and the listlessness and depression of the singer along with their strong desire to not let anyone know about their struggles are on full display.

mystia's izakaya & fossilized wonders

17 Sep 2025 - digitalily

I found myself getting a pretty major Touhou kick earlier over the past year, which started with Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia, which is a retro dungeon crawler ala early Shin Megami Tensei (something to discuss more another time), fuelled further by going a bit too hard in a Minecraft server, and then getting really solidified by my decision to give Touhou Mystia's Izakaya a try. I started back in April of this year, and finished it up in late August. I did have a few long sessions towards the end to wrap everything up, but this is the kind of game you could drip play for a long time.
