東方[Piano / Instrumental] Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's Kappa ~ Candid Friend 『5』【Winter #15】

[topguntin]

click on the snow flakes, it looks really nice for the song

[westtxtapper]

I have a definite love/hate relationship with winter. On the one hand, it's the time of Christmas and New Year's. I love watching the occasional snowfall and the scenery that comes with it. But on the other hand, I absolutely hate it being SO FREAKIN' COLD!!

[AmvFr34k]

@westtxtapper Isn't that the relationship *everyone* has with winter? I know I do.

[kitkitizer]

Snowflakes~!

[overwhelming12]

This, plus new effect in Youtube = Beauty to the fullest

[AmvFr34k]

@overwhelming12 I'm surprised by just how well it works with the song. O.o

[ElZenom]

Touhou music is magic. No matter what season we're in it will always sound beautiful. For my case, living near the countryside and the river this theme is just perfect yet "Lunatic Princess" makes any night a good night (and so on).

cucumber eggnog

gross drink or grossest drink?

[negikuri]

Ahmaigah the pictures are so epic.

[GiyomuKun]

I always thought of Nitori's theme to be more Spring-ish. The ice melting away, the strong flow in rivers and the return of life, that's what it reminds me.

Also, I ~love~ the picture! :D

[TheDefinedGamer]

feels like im standing in front of a blue colored lake and just green grass around me with a blue sky.

[AikawaYumekui]

Am I the only one who feels a little of sadness in this song ?

[rollonfloorlaughing]

has a tone reminiscent of certain final fantasy title screens

[AmvFr34k]

@rollonfloorlaughing It's the bells and the echo. Let me guess, it reminded you of "Memory of Lightwaves"?

[rollonfloorlaughing]

@AmvFr34k The kick, too, and yes.

[duoname3]

How i spend winter?

:TouhouALLtehtime:

[Fiorion]

Calm, relaxing and lovely music.

[Mushyrulez]

I'd argue on the contrary. The fullness of the strings accompaniment makes it feel too cozy for winter, unless it were in a warm, snow-covered house. Yet, the piano bass's speed makes it feel too energetic for that 'plump' feeling you'd get from being warm and inside with a cup of hot chocolate. The bells hardly help...

It feels more like a warm house on a rainy afternoon. But oh god what am I saying this doesn't make sense

[shenung]

its like standing there and lookin into the distance...

[AndrewFMs]

This is so relaxing...

[fffianist]

Enjoying the weather.

[HaloGnerd]

The first picture is an absolutely lovely work of art capturing the Pixiv headquarters.

See? It says "Pixiv" on the sign. :P

Additionally, I would like to give my best credits to this song; it is truely beautiful work that I hope will decorate the domain of my room for the rest of the winter as I play is over and over. Bravo, and my best of thanks to those who were able to bring this gorgeous work before me. :3

[AmvFr34k]

My my, "Candid Friend" as an elegant, calm "winter-y" song? I didn't expect that. The groups creating arranges never cease to surprise me.

and...

@214CIceCar make nothing out of it. Snow might be a beautiful thing to look at, but it's also a lot of work. Plus, most of us don't have snow by now either. ^^'

[214CIceCar]

@AmvFr34k Yeah, a lot of people tell me it's more of a bother or hindrance than it is a joy. That being said, I've never experienced a "real winter" before and want to have one. It gets boring to have the same weather every day of the year.

[Raptorjesusface]

@214CIceCar I suspect you would likely remember it as a "real shovel" to be honest. And an expensive electrical bill :)

[MasterBurner777]

Currently, I spend my winters being extremely cold.

But I'm not sure how I'll spend my winters when I move...

[MiniChan96]

❤-❤

[arieFrenzyKill]

how to spend winter when there is no snow TT TT ...

[214CIceCar]

"So guys and gals, how do you spend winter?"

Well, I do live in Hawaii, so no snow... I'm sad. Nothing there to really remind you it's almost Christmas.

[sexystealthninja]

beautiful



[ParanoidNEET]

Sadly, homework.

(And playing TH games and listening to TH music, but that's pretty obvious and not relevant)

[HarukaKishin]

Oh snap...a Mountain of Faith song, a game mostly associated with autumn, transformed into a wintery version?  Oh the innovations of the kappa! :3

[Ashvinoth]

Wow, I loved the original but this just sounds so beautiful. Amazing job dood.

[beefslasher]

Been playing LoL to this all day its perfect <3

[elminster09]

ohhh nice Christmas feeling. These types of musics become my instant favorite without a second thought. I m definitely playing this whenever I m relaxing to a good book. =D

[SheepDiAsia]

I heard this on another Touhou channel (Naturalistick?) a long time ago, and it has been a favourite of mine ever since. Good to see this arrangement being spread around. =)

[zerospicon]

Thank you as always. This is exactly wanted I wanted to hear before I go to bed. Good night!
