First one (by the catalog no.) is yet another disc in “feat. 709sec.” series. All tracks in this release are arranged by him; there are also four tracks with exclusively his vocals (which is really, really great for a fan like me). Note: track 3 features Nomiya Ayumi (ref.: ALiCE’S EMOTiON’s TAILWINDS album). I guess the genre can be defined as “rock”.

The second disc, 星 -HOSHI-, continues the old title tradition, and as usual, different tracks fall into different genres. All tracks come from TH12 Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object. I personally recommend track 4 (vocals by Nomiya Ayumi).

1. Letty Whiterock You! – vocals by miko (Alternative Ending); クリスタライズシルバー
2. キャプテン・ムラサのケツアンカー (Captain Murasa’s Ass Anchor) – vocals by 山本 椛 (monotone); キャプテン・ムラサ & 幽霊客船の時空を越えた旅
3. 断罪ヤマザナドゥ！(Danzai Yamaxanadu!) – vocals by 岩杉 夏; 六十年目の東方裁判　～ Fate of Sixty Years
4. てんこの恋愛下克上！エクスクラクラ☆ラメーション！(Tenko’s Love Domination from Below! Excla-lala☆love-me-tion!) – vocals by miko (Alternative Ending); 有頂天変　～ Wonderful Heaven
5. 水橋ジェラシックパーク  (Mizuhashi Jealoussic Park) – vocals by miko (Alternative Ending); 緑眼のジェラシー; appeared first on Chaos Flare by ALiCE’S EMOTiON
6. ひなりんのヤクい関係 (Hinarin’s Revelation of Misfortune) – vocals by 一ノ瀬 月琉 (monotone); 厄神様の通り道 ～ Dark Road & 運命のダークサイド; appeared first on Cradle2 by sound sepher
7. キャプテン・ARMのケツアンカー (Captain ARM’s Ass Anchor) – vocals by ARM; キャプテン・ムラサ

Therefore, I convert the cuesheets into unicode, leaving the TrueAudio-encoded files intact – I’m sure that it’ll save me quite a bit of bandwidth when a new version of that said collection comes out by placing the .tta files in their respectable subdirectories. I doubt rwx (the guy who posts the collection torrent) would re-encode something into something, when there are TrueAudio encodes available in Japanese P2P networks.

I’m a fan of dBu music because of their awesome instrumental arrangements of various Touhou soundtracks, mostly because they only do instrumental stuff. I also love Silver Forest, Alstroemeria Records and IOSYS for both their instrumental and vocal tracks. However, there’s a really awesome thing about IOSYS, Silver Forest, Yellow Zebra, and a few others – the CD drama stuff.

Picture is, however, unrelated.

The aforementioned circles do a really good job voicing the drama tracks. I’d say it’s quite as good as commercial stuff. Sometimes I just loop a CD that includes a few drama tracks for hours – and I don’t get bored at all.

“Wriggle-chan, a~so~bou~?”

This magazine subscription can be purchased on a revolving basis (where we’ll reserve and bill each issue as it comes in) or annually (for a flat fee w/ SAL shipping included).

So each issue is reserved. I guess it means that my reserve subscription has priority over normal site orders – J-List probably accounts these subscriptions when ordering from the publisher.

Only not.

It’s not accounted. Either that, or their staff are incompetent, cannot read, etc.

To put it short, I have a reserve subscription, I got my July 2009 issue, as well as the August one. And then I got another package, which I opened to find another July 2009 volume – instead of September 2009 one. Hello, J-List?.. The delivery takes up to one month. So when I got the magazine, and mailed them about “なにぜファック”, they were out of stock. Now, I’m not really sure if that issue ever was “in stock” for me. Something tells me that sending a duplicate of a not-yet-sold-out issue instead of a rare one (and September 2009 issue is of the “rare” kind – because of lots of exclusive stuff that comes with it) isn’t something purely accidental.

How do you put an issue that stands out as having a different cover, and “2009-07″ printed, in a handful of all the same “2009-09″ volumes, for packing before shipping?

A friend of mine who uses subscription (but with credit card payments instead of Paypal) got his issue no problems. Fine; that doesn’t prove anything. And some other people whom I know ordered the exact September 2009 issue from J-List on a regular basis, not having a subscription active… and got theirs. And it wasn’t a “reserved for you” kind of order. They just preordered it on the site.

Thank you, J-List, for your excellent service. I’ll look for a more reliable source for my magazine subscriptions.

…And I still can’t find that issue anywhere.

Have some Nadeko while I’m at it.
