Gilde:
Long time no see! I have a couple new updates to post.

東方覇天港～ The Garden of Sinners (part 2/2) by sisyou02 / 風雲.

No story or characters, but the tracks are evocative enough to picture a whole game in your head anyway.
The Google Drive's also been updated with the new tracks by now.

--- Quote ---1. A Sky Blanketed in Natural Catastrophes
2. Tiny Birds and Thunder Peals in a Rainy Sky
3. Heavenly Lightning
4. The Shadow of a Sky Colored by Filtering Sunlight
5. Parasol Waltz
6. Youkai Megalopolis
7. Silhouette Standing Against the Light's Glare ~ Funny monster
8. Touhou Hatenkou (Eastern Sky-Conquering Port)* ～ Empty gateway
9. Northern Storm
10. Severed Otherworld ～ Lost Heaven
11. Scarlet Weather Immaginazio*
12. Reality and Wisdom of Dreamlike Non-Self*
13. O, Thou Who Bears Knowledge of Samsara's Interstices ～ Traitor's Requiem
14. Barrier Aureole
15. Undead Girl in the Lingering Glow
16. Today's Weather: Sunny With a Chance of Shrine Maidens
17. Twilight Shrine*

*(same as the album's JP title, in the vein of eg. PCB's stage 5 theme)
*(lit. 'scarlet heaven imaginary/fictional song'; creator comment says it's a play on the English title of SWR, backported into Japanese)
*("reality and wisdom": 境智. homophone pun on 'muga no kyochi' ("state of non-self").)
*(pun on 'Hakurei jinja' / 'hakumei jinja')

S1 boss: Mitsuki Yotsume, a moon jellyfish who spends her days aimlessly sleepwalking. (Or sleep-floating, rather.)
S2 boss: Mashu Tenhyou, a sea angel who's friends with Mitsuki.
S3 boss: Ayuka Choubane, a lantern fish (and kemari champion) who communicates via writing on a whiteboard.
S4 boss: Fue Kyourou, a sperm whale who uses her species' amazing diving capabilities to serve as a deep-sea tour guide.
S5 boss: Mirei Utsuhora, a giant moray pianist who reincarnated from a human girl. Used her "ability to seize one's heart/body and never let go" to open a portal to Gensokyo, and stole all the sound for her and the S6 boss's concert.
S6 boss: Shiwina (= Shiina) Umisedo, a coelacanth who reincarnated from a sickly human girl. Uses all of Gensokyo's sound to conduct an undersea concert that she and Mirei had promised to in their past life.
EX boss: Eve Dolan Hikage, a blind cave fish. In an inverse of the main game, she steals all of Gensokyo's silence to make things noisy (and therefore easier for her to "see").

Popcioslav:
Thousand times thanks Gilde, while I did know about the release of both of said albums I didn't really had the time to post and cover about them. I'm really happy how composer behind TGoS has improved in the latter part, especially with extra boss theme. I'll try to cover both albums on the first post. I also wonder where did the second part of SSaFE go, but Burnyuho can take all the time they need imho.

Anyway, Khirio is back with yet another game-stylized album, similarly to Brilliant Works! For now, trial version up to stage 3.
The name's 東方章真洞　～ Acquisitive Invader.

Here's the YT video, Pixiv gallery and Soundcloud with each song.
I feel like I know what most of the OCs are based off (kodama, ho-oh and some kind of hermit? maybe a construction worker/architect/witch? idk), but always, more detailed descriptions and translations are welcome.

--- Quote ---1. 杯盤狼藉のナブラ (Title Screen)
2. 薫風のロンド (Stage 1)
3. ダンシングリーブス (Aoi Fura's theme)
4. 夏空に響く笛の音 (Stage 2)
5. 地上のヘヴンリーノイズ (Nemuro Ohka's theme)
6. カースドリージョン (Stage 3)
7. ブラックシャーマンガール (Kambe Fumi's theme)
8. (Game Over)

Gilde:
The Garden of Sinners has been released with several updated tracks, 4 bonus remixes by guest artists, and a full set of characters (who were secretly in the making the whole time lol). Yay!
Crossfade here, full .mp3 and image pack available for anyone with a BOOTH or Pixiv acccount here, very detailed JP writeup of the characters' source material here.

--- Quote ---Story: There was a huge earthquake, and now it's raining buckets out of nowhere! What the heck,

S1 boss: Shirane Koshino, a youkai rock ptarmigan (ie. 雷鳥 / "thunder bird"). Despite being called a thunder bird, she only manipulates the *sound* of thunder, not the thunder itself. Popular at festivals.

S2 boss: Yuunagi Masumida, a rain-woman (w/ fox and courtesan motifs) living on the Youkai Mountain. Actually the cause of the rain incident; the Stage 3 boss recruited her to redistribute water from a particular location that's been flooded.

S3 boss: Chie Sengetsudou, a daruma tsukumogami who can bring paintings of youkai to life (much in the vein of famous woodblock artist Toriyama Sekien). Mainly sells friendly paintings that assist and protect their buyers. Fought inside a Youkai Mountain cave, where she's doing flood prevention work on orders from the Yama.

S4 boss: Satomi Iwakura, a deified boulder youkai (based on both the boulder that blocked Ama-no-Iwato and the god who hurled it aside). Serves as the gatekeeper for one of Heaven's main ports of entry above the Youkai Mountain.

S5 boss: Nadeshiko Nawi, the divine spirit of a Nawi clanswoman, who uses her ability to sense underground veins to issue directions to the keystone-placing Hinanawi. (Also partly based on Kushinada-hime.) Usually located in Gensokyo, but came up to Heaven to observe the situation there.

S6 boss: Inasa Oomuranokami, a.k.a. Takemikazuchi. A god of thunder, earthquakes and war, with legendary exploits that include suppressing an earthquake-causing catfish and subduing Takeminakata (ie. Kanako). After discovering that Heaven was invaded by a pack of beast youkai aiming to steal the weather-controlling Yata-no-Kagami, she caused an earthquake and raging storm in order to flood the Sanzu River, therby cutting off their escape route (Heaven → Netherworld → Sanzu River located below).

EX boss: Hiyori Chigayama, a drought-causing beast youkai (魃 / batsu) who temporarily becomes a drought-causing goddess (魃 / hiderigami) with the power of the Yata-no-Kagami. Invaded Heaven to steal the mirror, got trapped due to the Sanzu River's flooding, made her getaway while the protagonists fought Inasa, then uses her souped-up drought powers in the EX stage to cancel out the rainstorm that awaited her back in Gensokyo.
