>Tokyo is way too dense for me with people everywhere
This is true in some places, but what has really surprised me the couple of times I've been is that it's entirely possible to find quiet streets and neighborhoods as little as 5 or 10 minutes walk from busy central Shibuya. I do agree that rural places are more interesting than cities, but both have something to offer depending on what you're into. You really do need a rental car for anything outside major cities unfortunately.

In my experience, travelling with other people is only good if you're of the same mindset. I have travelled alot since I was very young and found that with my mother and cousins they're very easygoing, but when travelling with family friends there's a sort of pressure to spend time together at the cost of seeing the things you're interested in; it's not really worth it. If you've watched or read Yurucamp, it's comparable to Rin's solo camping. You can go anywhere and do whatever you like without being beholden to anyone.

There comes a time in every Onii-chan's life where he thinks about sexual relations with his imouto. He asks the question, "Should I?" or "Is it ethical?". Take some advice from best girl Kirino who says, "Yes!". Incest is always morally correct and in fact your imouto wants you right now!

This is a thread for sharing general news about anime or video games or other entertainment that you don't feel like making a thread for.

I find myself not wanting to make a new thread for stuff and then I either forget about it or I put it in the blog thread as a last resort, which is quite awkward. Maybe other people feel that way, too. Well, here's an attempt to fix that.
This is not a containment area for such news, rather it's just a more centralized thread to put it when you don't want to create a new thread to share some info before moving on to something else.

How would you rate each game based purely on their music? Side-games included. Personally, I'm of the opinion that there's not a truly "bad" soundtrack out of the lot, only mediocre ones at worst. I'd say my only particularly controversial takes are not rating EoSD and MS that highly, and putting DDC and LoLK near the top. Also, I wouldn't call myself a "Touhou is reclining" doomer, but I do think the two latest releases were disappointing on most levels, including music. Still hopeful for TH20 though!

It's not so much that they sound similar to each other, although some of the games have a pretty distinct sound to them, usually because of the instruments used. I'm moreso evaluating each soundtrack on what I perceive to be it's overall quality. Basically, how much of the soundtrack do I think fucks vs. how much of it I'm indifferent to, and how hard those tracks fuck. So, to rank highly, an album would need both consistency as well as standout tracks, which I think PCB and IN have. Something like MoF, for example, is imo just as consistently good as those two in that I like practically every track on it, but doesn't quite hit the same peaks in terms of specific tracks, so it ranks slightly lower. Obviously this is mostly personal opinion.

 No.146879

File:my-image.png (334.88 KB,1140x543)

EoSD is one of the greatest achievements in modern music.
PCB and IN are consistently great.
UFO is not as consistent, but has a few of the best tracks in the series, and a really unique sound.
If I'm being honest, StB and DS are mostly not that remarkable except for one god-tier track (Retrospective Kyoto and Bell of Avici, respectively), they get bonus points because I love the games themselves.
Not much to say about the rest except that I stopped following the games after HSiFS, and I don't care much for the post-UFO games. But among them I do have a bit of a soft spot for DDC.

>>146879
>I stopped following the games after HSiFS, and I don't care much for the post-UFO games
I recommend you give later games a listen to at least. LoLK, AoCF, and WBaWC have some superb songs. Idolatrize world, tonight stars an easygoing egoist, star spangled pierrot, pure furies, unlocated hell, and faraway voyage of 380,000 kilometers are some. Yorimashi between dreams and reality from AoCF is a fun one since there's a version on the arrange CD (U2 Akiyama) that is cute if you consider the ZUN original to be how others see her vs the arrange being how she sees herself.

As an addendum, I guess I'll list my favorite tracks from each game.

Imperishable Night is probably my favorite. Both the early stages where you're racing through the forest and the later ones in the mansion / the moon sound exactly like they should, and there's too many standout tracks to name.
I would also credit Subterranean Animism more than most people seem to. Some of the early stages and boss themes aren't great, but the title theme is one of the very best and everything starting with Heartfelt Fancy is amazing. Nuclear Fusion is my favorite final boss theme.
Last game I played was LoLK. I really hate some of the instruments he started using around DDC (although that OST itself was still good). Especially the electric guitar-type ones. They bring down even otherwise good songs like Pure Furies.

I don't understand how the japanese copyright system works. It simultenously appears as hyper retrictive when it comes to patents and modifications, same with copyrighted characters. But at the same time there's a big doujin/independent scene where people can create works out of copyrighted works. See Touhou for example. I know ZUN gave his consent to fan projects but I wonder if that's an exception rather than the rule. Some japanese laws seem draconian to me.

>but in practice are tolerated for cultural reasons
Does this stem from an old law or something? I've heard from a guy who did a research project that the reason video game tournaments in Japan used to not offer cash prizes was because they fell under the umbrella of an old anti-gambling law that was enacted in the 70's, I think, to counter crime groups.

 No.147967

>>147959
I couldn't really tell you. I was mostly thinking of e.g. the community-fostering effect that secondary works have. Also like >>147949 points out, the doujin community is often a stepping stone for artists. It would make the IP holders look terrible.

>anti-gambling law
This one's also full of loopholes (lol pachinko), but I don't want to derail the thread. Generally speaking the Japanese are masters at bullshitting their way through things using technicalities and vague wording, see also: anti-prostitution legislation.

Surely Japan has a concept of "first sale doctrine", like the United States. Otherwise libraries themselves would be illegal... No?
