I'm not too sure how I will handled this one.

I opted in for some Cytokine this time around as you can observe. Unfortunately, there is a time in life when a man's got to make decisions and y'know, opting between 2 arranges of the same theme by the same circle is too much of a dreadful fate for me to face up to D:

So there's this one I'm upping along with the other one from Virtual x Real which I am not upping for the time being. The reasons are clearly moot and truthfully non-existent. Simply my Touhou senses tingled in this direction, the other one is a bit more jumpy while this one feels more oriental so I suppose we could go with that.

Incidentally, by the beginning of the Retrospective trip in the Hiroshige our two girls are headed towards the east (Tokyo from Kyoto), isn't that right? So an oriental theme is only natural here.

If there is a good way to kick off an album I suppose ZUN just nailed it straight off the textbooks and fanciful manuals for us in Hiroshige 36. The engaging and bold beats at the beginning set up a mood of discovery and journey, while the incoming upbeat melody sends the listener into a landscape of wonders and mysteries that is our "Wonderland".
Perhaps it could be truly what our favorite necromancers witnessed as they went across the breathtaking blue sea coast, as they crossed the underground of Fuji and the daunting paths of Aokigahara.

Yes, they saw it.

They saw rabbits making medicine, kappas building toys and red maidens sipping their tea. They saw beyond the kaleido-screen in Hiroshige.
The two girls saw it.
