After many months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears it's finally here! Many of you wanted my Touhou covers to be available in an album format, so it truly means a lot to me to finally release this huge dream project for you all!

"Youkai - Touhou Metal" consists of all my Touhou Project covers I've done so far - I have refreshed every song on the album to match my current abilities and also fully remastered Pandemonic Planet, Septette for the Dead Princess and Youmu's Theme. I hope you guys enjoy my covers of your favorite Touhou tracks. Love y'all!

I'd also like to thank good guy RichaadEB (www.youtube.com/richaadeb) for nailing an absolute killer solo on Necrofantasia and helping me out with further work on the track. Also a big thank you to Wool (twitter.com/moiwool) for drawing the beautiful album artwork. I've also been a huge fan of his work long before I started making covers, so this truly warms my heart! Go check out both of these guys' work. This album wouldn't have been the same without them!

But most importantly thanks to all of you viewers for encouraging me to make this album a reality! The Touhou journey is not over yet! I will continue to make more Touhou covers (Album part 2?) and also many other franchises to reach all of your musical taste buds! I hope you enjoy listening to "Youkai - Touhou Metal". Thank you! ^^

Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egoist ~ Egoistic Flowers

Septette for the Dead Princess

The last few years have been hard on all of us, and the challenging times have definitely shaped the emotion and passion put into this album. After your incredibly generous response to my previous Touhou album "Youkai - Touhou Metal", I bring you this sequel packed with more classic Touhou songs and with all the new skills that I've learned over the years. I'm so excited to finally release this massive labor of love to you!

"Lunatic - Touhou Metal" consists of all Touhou covers I've recorded and produced in the last 2 years, not only including big fan favorites like Bad Apple!!, We Are Japanese Goblin or Flowering Night but also more songs that the hardened Touhou fans might love! I hope you guys enjoy!

I would like to thank RichaadEB (youtube.com/richaadeb) for joining me again to perform his absolutely amazing guest guitar solo on Bad Apple!!, Wool (twitter.com/moiwool) for drawing the beautiful and eye-catching album artwork and also MTB (youtube.com/MTB396) for animating the intro for the Bad Apple!! music video. It was an immense pleasure working with the guys and make this huge project a reality. Thank you so much!

This album marks the first time I have ever sung on a track, which has been challenging, but a very fun and eye-opening experience. You guys seemed to have enjoyed my cover of We Are Japanese Goblin, so I've pushed my limits further by performing Bad Apple!! as well.

I want to thank all of you for your immense support, for sharing my videos with your friends and encouraging me to keep doing my best even during the hardest of times. I'm very proud to present to you this album that is very special to me. Please enjoy "Lunatic - Touhou Metal".
Thank you very much! :)
