Favorite Doujin Circle if You Even Like Doujin Circles?
« on: July 11, 2017, 04:50:22 PM »
For the record, here's mine:

1. Yuuhei Satellite (My first doujin circle. They're, from what I can see, very experimental in their arrangements.)
2. TAMUSIC (I've always been a fan of classical or orchestral-like arrangements.
3. Yonder Voice (Can't really think of a reason... maybe it's because of the oriental sounding pieces they put together?)
4. Akatsuki Records (Engrish for the win.)

But ZUN will always be the best.

Oh, there are so many, and they have affected me in very different ways.

I?ll mention the ?classic crazy voices? of Tōhō fandom for starters: Nest (Verynezumi?s circle) and KamS.

As for music, I like many different arrangements, but rarely the majority of any circle?s works. Gu Xiang De Ge just might be an exception. If only their arrangements were easier to find.

Hm, for music, i will forgot about a LOT, but Liz Vocal, Magnum Opus, Sonic Hybrid Orchestra, Diao Ze Yong and Tutti Sound are what comes to mind there.


For art/doujinshis, my first place will always be Zounose, followed by NITRO UKNOWN, Drill Chichikuri/Lunatic Reformatory, ACID CLUB EAST, Tonohifun and DYNAMO.

I'm only into music but here ar ethe ones I like the most. Most of them are centered around Eurobeat.

Halozy
A-One
SuganoMusic
CrazyBeats
Eurobeat Union
Sound Holic.
Used to like Digital Wing, but they dropped the ball hard. I really wish their Raver's Nest series would be offered in Extended and not have to be lucky to get said CD-R disc from the convention their first sell it in.

The only other memorabilia I bought were either bundled with music from purchasing on Melonbooks (Digital Wing pen, etc), given or just an exception. In the exception, it was the set of button pins sold by Forza's circle. They were just too cute to past up. I don't wear them, I just put them on my bed's head to "awww" at them once in a while lol.

Oh, there are so many, and they have affected me in very different ways.

When it comes to fan-made music videos, I should also mention Kinema Kan.

Sure, their achievements have been surpassed by many. Yet no other circle has produced such upbeat videos that cheer me up in the same way.

By the way, could anyone share even basic info about Kinema Kan? The Touhou Wiki has almost nothing on them.

Yeah, they really made some great stuff.
Their site has long been down, but there's an archived version here:

Butaotome

Hey, what does that name stand for?

(Also, are there any Hungarians around? If yes, do you feel about that name like I do?)
