So yeah, let's welcome Momoyo to our channel. I like quite a few things about her. Her design is positively sick and really creative, like, even moreso than most Touhou designs are. Her theme is really good, definitely one of ZUN's better creations as far as modern Touhou is concerned and she's got a pleasant if somewhat simple personality. Not to mention her concept of a centipede that casually eats dragons is just badass. I also headcannon her as being buddy-buddy with the Oni as she also cherishes a good fight and is very direct and blunt. Overall, she's a really welcome addition to Touhou's character roster.

Now, for the upload, first of all, thank you so very much to Teelirium to allow me to upload their brand-new track. Listen to the original here, please; they really do deserve every view for their work:    • Teelirium - Regicide [東方 Midtempo]  

And secondly - holy crap this is amazing. It's hard, it's kinda... creepy, very cyberpunk-esque and has a very pleasant speed. It's not hectic, it's not too slow, it's just the right tempo. I also really like the sampled vocals, with the distortion and how everything comes together to give us a properly tense feeling track. It reminds me a bit of Joy Instated, the Rolling Contact Cyberpunk track I uploaded about ha...whatthefuckthatwashalfayearago. Sorry but my god what is time even. And the snippets from Blade Runner 1982's dialogue is just... ah, so nice.

ANYWAY.
This is just as driving and intense as I expect a track based on Momoyo's theme can be.

So yeah, I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and let's hope I continue to find such bangers.

See you soon,

Minulf
