Touhou Perfect Cherry Blossom (TH7)

Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom. is a vertical-scrolling bullet hell and the seventh official game of the Touhou Project series by Team Shanghai Alice. The full game was first released on August 17, 2003, at Comiket 64.

Initial release date: 17 August 2003

Series: Touhou Project

Designer: ZUN

Developer: Team Shanghai Alice

Publisher: Team Shanghai Alice

Mode: Single-player video game

There are playable characters such as Reimu and Marisa but they also added Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou 6 The Embodiment Of Scarlet Devil as a playable character, also known as the stage 5 boss or second to the last boss of Touhou 6.

Plot:

The heroine follows the trail of cherry blossoms high above Gensokyo, breaking through the greetings of Lily White, eventually reaching a great magical boundary and the poltergeist musicians Prismriver Sisters. ... The heroine defeats Youmu and hurries to Hakugyokurou to get Gensokyo's spring back.

Touhou Bosses:

Letty Whiterock (レティ・ホワイトロック Reti Howaitorokku) is a seasonal youkai who's only seen during winter. She seems fittingly cold towards most of the humans she meets, and is feared by humans as she is known to freeze them. Letty first appeared as the Stage 1 boss in Perfect Cherry Blossom, later she made a brief cameo in Hopeless Masquerade as a background character.

In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it was written that she was a type of yuki-onna. According to ZUN, if she was to show her full power compared to her strength shown in Perfect Cherry Blossom, it would cause an incident.

Ability

Manipulation of chill

She possesses an ability to manipulate chill. It's not an ability to create blizzards or make snow fall, but rather an ability to strengthen the "winter" that exists in the natural world. According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, since this is equivalent to an ability that manipulates the winter within nature, she possesses tremendous power according to the environment, but she is pretty much powerless outside of winter. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, Letty herself said that outside of winter, she hides away in a place where not a ray of sunlight can reach. In Forbidden Scrollery, she is shown spreading snow over Gensokyo.

Chen (橙) is Ran Yakumo's shikigami, who was guarding the village of Mayohiga during the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom. Unfortunately, she could put up little resistance due to being far away from her master.

Chen first appeared as the second stage midboss and boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom, along with being the extra stage midboss and Ran Yakumo's familiar in one of her spell cards. She was also Yukari Yakumo's familiar in Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, and Antinomy of Common Flowers, and was a target on Stage 6 of Shoot the Bullet. Additionally, she made a background appearance in Hopeless Masquerade.

She is a bakeneko youkai that Ran Yakumo uses as shikigami, but since Ran herself is Yukari's shikigami, she is a "shikigami of a shikigami". When possessed as a shikigami, Chen aquires the fearsome power of a kishin, but since her master is also a shikigami, her ability is fairly low. The possession is removed when she is soaked in water, and since she also hates water as a cat, she is in any case weak to water. Her height is "low" and is capable of human speech. She can use impressive black arts, but only possesses the intellect of a human child. Whether she is possessed or not, her personality and appearance don't change.

She ordinarily lives on Youkai Mountain. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, she made the village of cats and tried to stand as the leader, but the progress has been unfavorable.

Ability

The way her abilities show up in the game itself is that she runs around the screen so freely in a way that is not expected of a boss of a shooting game, which is characteristic of her (as one would expect of a cat). This could be considered cute if she were an ordinary cat, but it also makes her slightly more tricky to deal with due to her speed and deceptive movement, which can confuse her opponent. Another characteristic of her is how she spins around and around while attacking, somewhat like her master.

Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド Arisu Māgatoroido) is a doll-controlling magician who lives in her home in the Forest of Magic near the home of Marisa Kirisame. According to ZUN's comments in the Music Room of Perfect Cherry Blossom, Alice is kind of a special character in the Touhou Project.

Alice made her first ever appearance of the fifth PC-98 Touhou Project game Mystic Square as the third stage boss and the Extra stage boss. Afterwards, with her canon completely remodelled, she appeared again as the third stage boss and midboss in the seventh work Perfect Cherry Blossom and as a playable character in Imperishable Night, along with being a playable partner in Subterranean Animism. She was a playable character in Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and was the Final boss of Cirno's scenario in Touhou Hisoutensoku. Additionally, she was a target on Stage 3 of Shoot the Bullet and has made a background appearance in Hopeless Masquerade.

She is a pure all-purpose-type magician youkai who lives in a western-style house in the Forest of Magic without strengths and weaknesses in attributes, but she fundamentally fights in style of manipulating her self-made dolls. With a personality that is indifferent to other people, she is attached to magic, and is usually confident but is also timid in one aspect.

In the games on the PC-98, she lived in Makai calling herself "The Magician of Makai" and had a black book that's called the "Grimoire of Alice". Makai was created by Shinki, along with its residents. She was also a magician that can control dolls. She also created her own "Wonderland" in Makai. In the games on Windows, Alice's book in her character portrait in Imperishable Night reveals that the writing possibly spells out "Grimoire". This is some evidence that the book is possibly the same Grimoire which Alice used in the Extra Stage. In Perfect Cherry Blossom, she said, "at last, former friend, we meet again. Have you only brought me your life as a gift?" which can be considered to be something carried over from the PC-98 games, and ZUN himself said that it was the third time that they have fought.

Lily White (リリーホワイト Rirī Howaito) is a fairy who heralds the coming of spring. She first appeared as the 4th stage midboss of Perfect Cherry Blossom, then as a special generic enemy in Phantasmagoria of Flower View and a common midboss in Fairy Wars, each time announcing spring has arrived. She returned as the stage 3 midboss of Hidden Star in Four Seasons.

Ability

Announcing that spring has come

Lily is able to announce that spring has come. Although it's unclear what this ability entails concretely, Gensokyo's residents are made to feel the actual feeling of spring's arrival which makes her very popular with florists. It seems like she is able to provide impetus for flowers and other plants to bloom. In chapter 8 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, there was a depiction of the place she passed by instantly becoming spring.

She can still attack with said ability, but it's mostly due to excitement about the spring as she's not very aggressive. While it's advised not to stay around when she attacks, she has a good relation with humans. She doesn't seem willing to attack even if they catch her. Likewise, humans don't see her as a threat, but rather as a symbol of good luck.

The Prismriver Sisters (プリズムリバー三姉妹 Purizumuribaa San-shimai) are three characters named Lunasa Prismriver, Merlin Prismriver and Lyrica Prismriver, together appearing as the stage 4 boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom. Lunasa, Merlin, and Lyrica are collectively called the "Prismriver Ensemble" and perform at parties and festivals. At first sight, their instruments (Lunasa with the violin, Merlin with the trumpet, and Lyrica with the keyboard) may seem scattered and disconnected, but they still perform magnificent music. There is also a fourth Prismriver sister, named Layla Prismriver.

These three sisters are poltergeists, made by Layla Prismriver to have the appearances and personalities of her three older sisters from whom she had been separated. Thus, they are technically all the same age since they were presumably created at the same time. They only act out the roles of oldest, middle, and youngest sister based on whichever one they were made to resemble.

It is known, based on their official profiles and from comments by Eiki, that none of the original four sisters are still alive today. However, it's unknown how long ago the events that spawned these three poltergeists occurred.

Ability

Performing on musical instruments without hands or feet

In Perfect Cherry Blossom, this is the main ability that all three sisters have been specified to have. This probably derives from the ability poltergeists have, put to specific use in performing with musical instruments. By manipulating the spirits of instruments, they're able to manipulate the spirits of notes to create sounds. Since they needn't have direct contact with the instruments, they're able to play music impossible to play by hand.

Since the three sisters' musical performance is something that they have learned themselves after Layla's death, their previous abilities were probably along the lines of "moving things without hands or feet" or "making sounds without hands or feet". The former is because poltergeists in general can move things and make them float. The latter is because in the general phenomena of poltergeists, they can be heard from anywhere (a rapping noise, for example).

Youmu Konpaku (魂魄　妖夢 Konpaku Youmu) is a half-human half-phantom who lives at Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld as a gardener and swordplay instructor, who also serves for Yuyuko Saigyouji. She first appeared as the Stage 5 boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom, the seventh installment of the Touhou Project, and has since become a recurring playable character.

In Perfect Cherry Blossom, she gathered all of Gensokyo's spring at Yuyuko's instruction, which was the reason Gensokyo's winter did not end. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red and Chapter 13 of Curiosities of Lotus Asia, she took on the responsibility for collecting and returning the phantoms that wandered around Gensokyo as a result of the boundary of the Netherworld being thinned.

She belongs to the subspecies of phantoms called the "half-human half-phantoms" (半人半霊 "hannin hanrei" or "hanjin hanrei"). Half-human half-phantoms are the mixed-race of phantoms and humans (幽霊と人間のハーフ), which have a largish phantom accompanying them and a relativity long life span compared to humans. The phantom that always follows them is called the "half-phantom" (半霊[1]、半幽霊[2] hanrei, hanyuurei), and they are the other half of their body.[3] In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it was supposed that Youmu's human half manipulates the phantom half consciously. Youmu's human half has a lower body temperature compared to normal humans, and her phantom half's body temperature is not so cold compared to normal phantoms. In the Imperishable Night manual, it was written, "she has two kinds of body: human and phantom," showing Youmu to be "human" and the phantom to be "phantom."

Half-human half-phantoms are long-lived, but in Seasonal Dream Vision, since it has still not been 60 years since the time she was born, in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she was not very knowledgeable about the "flower incident that occurs once every 60 years."

Personality

As she has a straightforward diligent personality, she is often manipulated by those around her (especially Yuyuko).[2][7] For this reason, she often fails at her task, but that does not mean that she has no real power, and she particularly excels at instantaneous force and concentration power.[8] In Immaterial and Missing Power, as literally stated by the shishou, "truth-slashing is something which you know", so she often performs tsujigiri-like moves, but Suika Ibuki pointed out that she does not think that Youmu understood her shishou's teachings.

She has strong sensitivity, and in the good ending of Imperishable Night, her human half was unable to resist the insanity-inducing effects of the true Moon, causing her to become "half-insane". Ironically enough, considering her species, she is afraid of ghost stories, dares, and darkness, but she is calm around phantoms since she is half phantom herself.  In Imperishable Night's Extra. After defeating Fujiwara no Mokou, Yuyuko pretends there is a ghost under a tree, earning a terrified shriek from Youmu. Much further on in Ten Desires, as a result of being mistaken as a hermit, she temporarily mistook herself as being a hermit. Due to artworks and her sprite in the fighting spin-offs, Youmu may be ambidextrous.

Yuyuko Saigyouji (西行寺　幽々子 Saigyouji Yuyuko) is the main antagonist of Perfect Cherry Blossom. She's the ghost "princess" head of Hakugyokurou in the Netherworld.

She first appeared as the Final Boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom, later becoming a playable character along with Youmu Konpaku (as a duo) in Imperishable Night and showing up as an expansion character in Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, and Touhou Hisoutensoku. She would eventually also appear as the Stage 1 boss in Ten Desires, and as a Day 4 boss in Impossible Spell Card.

Unlike many departed spirits, Yuyuko resembles a living human; a humanoid. She is very cheerful and friendly: Her playful, good-humored personality, otherworldly beauty, and courtesan charm can have a disarming effect. She often makes bizarre and apparently nonsensical remarks and sometimes seems to overlook the obvious, leading to her characterization as an airhead or a ditz. As an instance, in Touhou Bougetsushou, she toyed with Youmu Konpaku as a daily occurrence even with Ran Yakumo present.

However, at other times she will reveal an extremely cunning and perceptive side and will also sometimes display an extraordinary level of knowledge. For instance, in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she was the quickest character to identify the culprit as Tenshi Hinanawi when the incident was in the omen stage (Yukari Yakumo spoke of the dwindling of phantoms as Komachi Onozuka's negligence, but Yuyuko guessed correctly). Additionally, in Ten Desires, she obliquely informed the playable character about the location of the incident regarding the divine spirits. She is also known for her incredible appetite.

Ability

Manipulating death

This is the ability to, without exception and without permitting any resistance, end the life of any living being, whether it be human or youkai. The only kind of creatures immune from this are Hourai Immortals. Clearly and simply, it is an unusually and dreadfully powerful ability. Although this ability is what drove her to commit suicide and become a ghost, it seems that she hasn't forgotten this ability since then, and it seems that she can use this ability in a carefree manner (though she doesn't act carelessly in the usage of this ability). However, whether she's able to end life only to the extent of fainting, or if she invites one to death gently, is unclear. During her lifetime, the latter was true. Her Last Word "Saigyouji Parinirvana" is said to be the very incarnation of this ability.

Manipulating departed souls

This is the ability that enables her to manipulate ghosts and spirits, an ability she possessed even while she was alive. Although it's unclear what one is exactly able to accomplish with this ability, it seems to place Yuyuko on the role of the manager of the ghosts who stay for a while in the Netherworld. Because of this ability, she is able to let those from Hell stay eternally in the Netherworld.

Secret Bosses:

I can't post anymore images lmao so just search them up

Ran Yakumo (八雲　藍 Yakumo Ran) is the kitsune shikigami of Yukari Yakumo and is in turn the master of the bakeneko shikigami Chen.

Ran first appeared as the extra stage boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom, where she also appeared as the Phantasm stage midboss of that game, so she has the strong image of being a midboss, but even as an extra boss, she also had abilities not to be ashamed of, as she is also a long difficult battle.

She frequently appears as an attack option in the fighting games for Yukari Yakumo and has appeared in Imperishable Night as Yukari's attack.

Ran is described as being a gentle youkai, who won't start a fight unless provoked. Although Ran is a shikigami, she sometimes "forget" her position as a servant and acts of her own volition, like deciding to attack the heroine in Perfect Cherry Blossom to avenge Chen. Because of this, Yukari punishes her to remind her who the master is.

(still can't post another image)

Yukari Yakumo (八雲　紫 Yakumo Yukari) is a legendary youkai who is able to manipulate boundaries. She is the master of Ran Yakumo. She is called the "gap youkai" (すきま妖怪 sukima youkai), although "gap youkai" is not the name of a species, as she is more of a one-of-a-kind type of youkai.  Regardless of her power, Yukari appears to be the most well-informed being in Gensokyo of any kind and usually achieves her goals through manipulating events rather than direct combat.

Yukari first appeared as the phantasm stage boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom with Ran Yakumo serving her as shikigami. Despite being a high-class boss compared to other Extra and Final stage bosses, she's made occasional appearances in later games. She was a playable character in Imperishable Night, partnered with Reimu Hakurei (and supported her in Subterranean Animism), and was playable in the fighting games, but was only a cameo in the background of Hopeless Masquerade. Also, she was also an Extra stage target in Shoot the Bullet and appeared on the Final Day of Impossible Spell Card.

She is one of the oldest youkai in Gensokyo, one of the strongest of youkai, and is praised as one of the wisest of youkai.[3][4]. She was one who proposed the Great Hakurei Barrier, which covers Gensokyo, and is therefore tied to Gensokyo's creation. She is the only known youkai who is able to pass this barrier in order to access the Outside World, although there are a few instances like Mamizou Futatsuiwa who's passed it. She also performs surveillance and safety administration (mainly for Ran Yakumo). She is simply one of the most mysterious youkai living in Gensokyo.

Personality[edit]

Yukari is known for being a very youkai-like youkai who sleeps all day and lives for the enjoyment of life. Though she rarely leaves her house, she's well-connected and is acquainted with most of the most powerful youkai as well as anyone having anything to do with the Great Hakurei Barrier or the outside world, although she rarely attacks humans.[3] She has a tendency to toy with her opponents rather than use her full power from the start. If anyone is suited for the role of "mastermind", it's Yukari. She excels at mathematics and is experienced due to her long life.

She possesses superhuman intellect and especially surpasses in dealing with numbers. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, as Ran Yakumo said, this intellect is something that even Ran is not able to understand, to the extent that for example that she is able to determine the depths of the darkness of Avici or determine in an instant how long it would take for Ursa Major to devour the North Star, as it seems. Concretely to what extent this amazing intellect goes is hard to know, but it would be no mistake to think that this intellect far surpasses that of humans.

She often has a great deal of insight and understanding about whatever happens in Gensokyo, and possesses considerable intellectual prowess, as well. Though she seems flaky and unreliable most of the time, when the safety or security of Gensokyo is at stake, she won't hesitate to get involved, even if it means using others to do the work for her. For example, in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she treats Tenshi Hinanawi with much hostility after finding out the plot of the Heavens. She could easily be either a villain or a heroine, depending on her whims.

Yukari deals with problems by manipulating others to act to resolve things for her. She seems to rarely act directly except in particularly egregious situations. In all cases, she rarely lets anyone know what her true aims or goals are and sometimes these goals are extremely abstract. Yukari has a well-deserved reputation of being fickle, whimsical and lying often and thus many characters in Gensokyo dislike her. For whatever reason, Yukari takes it all in stride and does not seriously deny any of those comments. She seems to actively try to keep her more obviously-altruistic actions a secret, such as her donations to the Hakurei Shrine in Strange and Bright Nature Deity. She possibly cultivates this image to ensure that people continue to fear her as a youkai, as this is what her true goal for a particularly complex gambit is revealed to be at the end of Cage in Lunatic Runagate.

Abilities and strength[edit]

Yukari is with no doubt one of the most powerful youkai in Gensokyo. She has been described as an extremely powerful being more than once,[5][6], with easily enough power to destroy all of Gensokyo if it's needed.[7]. In Silent Sinner in Blue, Yukari claimed Watatsuki no Toyohime was stronger than her and avoided a direct confrontation with her, although at the time she was purposedly letting herself being captured.

Her physical strength is what you'd expect from a youkai. While the extent of an average youkai's strength is never really specified, their bodily ability is typically very high, so her strength is still far from that of a human. There are some examples and statements which show Yukari's physical prowess:

In Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 12, Yukari's hand is able to effortlessly block and brush aside a mallet swung by Rinnosuke Morichika with all his might, leaving him shocked that a small slender feminine hand was able to pull off such a feat. Rinnosuke said that it feels like he hit a pillow.

Hong Meiling, in one of her Touhou Hisoutensoku win quotes, notes that she felt a odd resistance from Yukari's body (presumably after punching and kicking her a lot), to the point where she wondered if Yukari was wearing something else under that presumably delicate dress of hers.

Yukari states in her own win quotes in Immaterial and Missing Power that she has no weaknesses, and even shooting, cutting, stabbing, hitting, or killing her is useless.[8]

By mostly moving around in gaps, one would usually not see her as doing much physical labor at all, and according to Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, since she ends up in blurting out herself such sayings like "to do mountain climbing at such an age", there is the image that she is like an indoors-type youkai, but in the end, she is still a youkai.

Manipulation of boundaries

Yukari's "Danmaku Barrier", as illustrated in The Grimoire of Marisa.

Yukari using a border for transportation in Silent Sinner in Blue.

Yukari's main ability is manipulating any kind of boundaries.[9] This ability has been described as logically being able to affect essentially anything.[10] In her monologue during A Beautiful Flower Blooming Violet Every Sixty Years, she explains that this power allows her to control or remove the boundaries between any and all things, like Gensokyo and the Outside World, the worlds of the living and the dead, humans and youkai and even the day and the night. [11]

The most common and visible application of Yukari's boundary manipulation abilities is opening "gaps" (すきま sukima) which act as portals between two places, where she's able to hold, sit on or emerge from such gaps. By manipulating borders in space and creating a chasm, she is able to link together separate places. Because of this, she's able to show up at any place and can freely travel to places like the Outside World. Within these gaps one can see a lot of eyes, which according to the description of Yukari's Magic Eye "Laplace's Demon" spell card she can also use to see. Although Yukari's gaps can ultimately connect any kind of place, in Silent Sinner in Blue she could create a gap to the "fantastic" version of the Moon only during the full moon, which is the only period of time during which the passage is open. For some unknown reason she is unable to use her powers to bring a living being on the far side of the Moon, which is where the Lunar Capital is located. She is, however, capable of freely travelling between Gensokyo and the Outside World. Yukari can create gaps through which only she can pass, or which anything can pass through.[12] Moreover, while the main use of gaps is travelling to different plances, Yukari also uses them in battle either by virtue of being able to use almost any object (such as tombstones, road signs, and even running trains) as a weapon,[13] by retreating inside them to avoid being hit or land unexpected attacks,[14] sucking in an opponent's attacks to throw them back.[15], or merging different gaps to create harmful spatial distorsions.[16]

In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, manipulating boundaries is described as a terrifying god-like ability with no weak points which there is no defense or countermeasure against, capable of fundamentally undermining reality itself and as one of the most dangerous abilities that youkai are known to possess, while Yukari's manual profile in Imperishable Night says that "the danger and potency of her ability is beyond imagination".[17]

Ultimately, everything is built upon the existence of boundaries; if there were no boundaries everything would effectively exist as a single enormous object. Because of this, the ability to manipulate boundaries is logically an ability of both creation and destruction: by making a new boundary is to create a new existence, and to destroy a boundary is to negate an existence. For example, as said in Perfect Memento, if there was no water surface there could be no lake, if there was no sky line neither mountain nor sky could exist and were it not for the Great Barrier even Gensokyo itself wouldn't exist. Furthermore, it seems that not only are physical boundaries, but also the general idea of boundaries can be manipulated and it seems like she would be able to manipulate the boundary between dreams and reality, which could very well be how she was able to drag the real Sumireko Usami out of the Dream World in Antinomy of Common Flowers. Yukari is also capable of seeing (and seeing through) boundaries that are normally invisible; when the Human Village was displaced from history by Keine Kamishirasawa, Yukari was completely unfazed and still able to see it.[18][19] She also tells Marisa that it would easy for her to manipulate the boundary between Winter and Spring.[20]

It's shown that Yukari can control the boundaries and bend them to her will as seen in Immaterial and Missing Power when she adjusted the sky by manipulating the border between the daylight and moonlight to unite the day and the night.[21] According to Marisa Kirisame, Yukari can even control the boundary between "a danmaku for play and a danmaku for battle".[22]

Yukari is also capable of sensing and repairing damage to the Great Hakurei Barrier, and although in Perfect Cherry Blossom Yuyuko Saigyouji doubts Yukari could make such a strong barrier,[23] she has been refered to as its creator in various occasions.[24][25] To add to all this, Hieda no Akyuu writes that "manipulation of boundaries" is theoretically a godlike power which would allow Yukari to create or destroy anything, but that all the stories about it are impossible to confirm.[3]

Examples of the usage of this ability:

Neutralized Suika Ibuki's ability by forcing the oni, which was spread as mist over the entirety of Gensokyo, into her normal form so that she could be seen and interacted with by others.[26]

Adjusted the sky by manipulating the border between the daylight and moonlight, to unite the day and the night. Possibly, this also allowed Yukari to stop the night in Imperishable Night.

Manipulation of the boundary between the true and illusionary moon, which allowed her to open a gap, that lead from Gensokyo to the Moon, on the lake surface. (Lunar War, Silent Sinner in Blue)

By creating the Boundary of Fantasy and Reality, she estabilished the Outside World as the real world, and Gensokyo as an illusionary one, allowing youkai to disappear from the former and thrive in the latter. (Youkai Expansion Project, over 500 years ago)

She is widely acknowledged as the creator of the Great Hakurei Barrier, which isolates Gensokyo from the Outside World. (The Great Barrier Disturbance)

Upon Yuyuko's request, weakening the Border of Life and Death between the world of the living and the Netherworld, making it possible for denizens of both world to easily cross it. (Perfect Cherry Blossom)

When the Great Hakurei Barrier has loosened, she returned Rinnosuke Morichika to Gensokyo who has been ejected into the outside world (Curiosities of Lotus Asia)

Dragged the real Sumireko Usami out of the Dream World (Antinomy of Common Flowers)

By manipulating the border of master and slave during the Perfect Possession incident, she thwarted Joon and Shion Yorigami's scheme that allowed Joon to win any battle by forcing Shion as the enemy's slave (Antinomy of Common Flowers)

Many of her Spell Cards and attacks allude to various circumstances involving boundary manipulation or creation, such as: Barrier "Balance of Motion and Stillness", Barrier "Mesh of Light and Darkness", "Boundary of Humans and Youkai", Barrier "Charming Quadruple Barrier", between many others. The description of Yukari's "Boundary of Intellect and Feet" states that she would be able to cut anything by using boundaries, a motif also used in her Splitter "Thing That Splits All Into Two" Spell Card.

According to herself, when humans have noctambulism it's because she manipulates the boundary between sleeping and being awake.

Yes this was all mostly from the Touhou Wiki because I can't explain this any better

Shoulders Together

Evening Its Ishida Ayumi

 Tomorrow at Miyagi’s Sendai Sunplaza,

Is a Hello! Project concert

 Miyagi!

 Speaking of!

  Date Shimai……

 Is this Date Kyoudai (siblings)? Lol

On Dance Chanel’s Hello! Project Dance Academy,

We conveyed a comedy dance story,

 That’s when I challenged that role

 The popular boy in class (Rikako) and,

 The shy girl that can’t talk (Ishida)

 What is the outcome of their love!?

 That feeling, eeh, I got to do it

 It was embarrassing

 Please definitely watch Hello Project Dance Academy ❤

    Tiny tiny

 Was uploaded!

 I’m not todays studio guest, I talked about this a bit ago,

 The first work I did with Yamaki Risa-chan!

 #YamakiandIshidaWorked

 Its that!

 Bothering seasonal cuisine Chikusen-san,

We got to try Miyagi cuisine ❤

 My hometown is Miyagi,

 More or less, it was an introduction to Risa-chan,

 Is what it should have been but,

 I listened to talks of things I didn’t know about my hometown of Miyagi,

 More than me guiding her,

Risa-chan was good at listening to the stories!

 It was the first work we’ve done,

 As expected, she’s skilled,

That’s how I was able to feel,

 Those are words that came to mind

 It’s an amazing thing,

To convey to the person,

 Risa-chan told me a similar story,

 It made me happy!!

 Please definitely check out this kind of appearance? On tiny tiny

 Today this is good, and Instagram is good, I ended up just wanting to eat

 However it seems like I liked taking photos of food

 Honestly! on Instagram!

 I wonder what will be good to post,

 I really mull it over

 What will look good and what won’t look good,

 I wonder about it myself,

 I end up thinking about it! Recently! Wao!

 What would I want to see…

 But! All of the fans! Certainly!

 Ayumin’s photographs… Photos Ayumin likes…

 Those are things you’d certainly say right!?

 Really---!

What else would you like to see!

(pressuring person←)

 I don’t like it, writing something like this,

It will end up being difficult for everyone to answer (lol)

 Ah, I’m lost but,

 I’m of course happy to be able to Instagram

 Thank you for checking it out

 Today was a shoot with everyone! It was for the day, so the blog was late!

 Thanks for the hard work today

 I’ll prepare for tomorrow! Good night!

 See you ayumin ❤

ENGLISH:

I drown myself in cheers as I felt the curtains opening.

Can you hear the thrill? The wave of lights is shaking!

  When our eyes meet, a dream for just the two of us

will end up taking us in. Sometimes, that kind of thing is good, isn’t it~?

  Let’s do a high-five on our 3-hour date!

See? Just over there! (Just now!!)

With just the two of us (Right now!!) in front of thousands!

I feel like I’m gonna fall in love~

(Let’s get it love!!)

  Be Sweetie Sweet with me~

Let’s connect it with our non-fiction everyday lives!

Let’s sing the secret we share right up on stage.

Yes, Sweetie Sweet~

Just like magic, we can become who we want to be.

Going on dates here and there is fine as long as it’s with you~

Forever and ever… Let’s do it?

  When the curtain opens, we’ll put on our bravest smile!

Affection and loving, all of those are sentimental deep in my heart~

  [I can’t let you know that my heart beats so loudly for you…] you say?

Yet it’s obvious on your face how worried you are about it~

  The matinee and the soirees are all yours!

The (jewels!!) we gathered, the sweet lines (Sweets!!!) We sing!・And take a step…

All those will be our engagement ring~

(Let’s Twinkle day!!)

  Being Sweetie Sweet with you~

The bells will ring and our marriage will be brilliant!

Let’s slow down a little and walk down a flowery path.

Yes, Sweetie Sweet~

Let’s do a bouquet toss towards the audience!

Let’s decorate our nest for the sake of our love.

Yes, under a pink-colored roof~

  Show me Show me… you know…

I Love you Love you… you know…

Magical girls of 2018

Here’s a little compilation of magical girl stuff I’ve consumed this year:

Matoi The Sacred Slayer

Finally bothered to finish this one. Found this one mostly forgettable and generic and at times poorly directed, but it did have a couple of fun ideas and some of the more epic scenes worked really well. But still wouldn’t recommend unless you’re really into the magical girl genre.

Magical Girl Raising Project: Restart (reread)

Liked this a lot more on a reread. Lots of good character relationships and powers, and great character designs. Didn’t care too much for the video game elements.

Go! Princess Precure

Favourite Precure so far. Characters range from the upper tiers of alright to great, and actually uses the princess/dream theme fairly well. Best Precure henshin.

Fresh Precure! (ongoing)

The current background noise for drawing practice. At 17 episodes sits at the second best Precure I’ve seen slot, though I’d say that it has a lot to do with the faults of the competition... As of now feels like an alright kids’ show, but doesn’t really have anything that stands out about it.

Mary and the Witch’s Flower

If Kiki is relevant to this blog, surely Mary is as well...? This was an alright movie with great animation, but in the end it left very little impression on me. Shame we didn’t spend more time at the magic school.

The closing thoughts posts for KiraKira and YuYuYu s2 appear to be dated on January, though they’re more 2017′s stuff since that’s when I watched >90% of the episodes.

Overall a pathetically small amount of new mg content. Hopefully next year will be better!

Plans for 2019:

Star Twinkle Precure (I’ll try to follow this one as the new episodes come out)

A new Precure season that I haven’t seen yet to follow Fresh in an attempt to watch them all.

Finish with all the MagiPro content that’s already available, I’m still stuck at Aces. Also a reread of Limited is in the horizon as well once the official translation is out.

Magia Record (the anime will come out in 2019 right?)

I have Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya, Majokko Shimai no Yoyo to Nene, Pretear, Twin Angel Break and Zettai Bouei Leviathan on my Plan To Watch list on MAL, but who knows if I’ll ever get there.

I’ll try to catch up with Sleepless Domain.

Top 15 Albums of 2018

My favorite albums of 2018, arranged loosely and noncommittally. Numbers are aren’t real.

Hiragana Keyakizaka46 - Hashiridasu Shunkan will I ever be free from the cruel, clammy grip of aki-p

LOONA - ++ suddenly I like kpop

Maison book girl - Yume I feel like this album is Maison book girl reaching the full potential of their concept, a strange idol fever dream

There There Theres - BRICKS love these weird crow girls turned idols

ZOMBIE-CHANG - PETIT PETIT PETIT I wish I was as cool as ZOMBIE-CHANG

Soccer Mommy - Clean wish I was as cool as soccer mommy

Wakusei Abnormal - Watashi Wa Ikari De Dekiteiru the album title means “I am made of anger” and I feel like that says it all, a powerful return to form

Kinoko Teikoku - Time Lapse I like to listen to kinoko teikoku late at night when I really should be in bed and this album is perfect for that

Florence + the Machine - High As Hope Florence Welch makes me feel at one with nature. Like I can run away to the mountains and become a feared but respected forest witch

Hitsujibungaku - Wakamonotachi e this album is making me nostalgic for things that haven’t happened to me

Oomori Seiko - Kusokawa Party party at the end of the world, meet me at 4 am in the parking lot behind 7/11

Mitski - Be The Cowboy this album came into my house and punched me in the face

The Top 3:

Yoshizawa Kayoko - Joyuu Shimai Yoshizawa Kayoko is an actual angel come down to this sinful Earth, and her music is her gift to us. I think this is her most cohesive album to date. I love the concept, and it is executed near perfectly.

Togawa Jun avec Ohkubo Kei - Togawa Jun avec Ohkubo Kei Togawa Jun’s return to music has been one of the more surprising but welcome happenings of the last couple of years. Ohkubo Kei’s piano arrangements are beautiful, and Jun’s voice is so raw and full of emotion, this album hits me right in heart

Haru Nemuri - Haru To Shura I’m gonna sound like such an elitist snob for a moment but I need to say it: I knew Haru Nemuri before the youtube man. I saw her at a live house when there were like four other people there to see her! Okay, that out of my system, I am so so happy that she’s gotten so much well-deserved attention for this album! She has so much passion and energy and it comes through so well. I hope her momentum this year carries over into 2019, and that it also translates to more attention in Japan as well.

If it's not too much to ask, what's your Kami7 of best/worst songs and lines?

I’m guessing by Kami7 you mean out of 48G?

I’m sure I’ve blocked some of them out, but my Kami7 worst in terms of lyrics would be:

7. Yuuwaku no Garter: “Even if you accuse them of being unfaithful, women are honest in feeling a whirlpool of desire” Cheating is such an ew taboo personally and ymmv regarding that but I feel like Yuuwaku no Garter tries to make degradation sexy and it’s just...not? Again, ymmv.

6. Shimai Donburi: The title itself and the overall concept–not sure if there’s an English translation out there, but basically it’s two sisters making peace with dating the same guy (the lyrics are relatively tame, but the phrase shimaidon heavily implies nsfw activities with both) and the laissez-faire attitude of both siblings (“I intended to view him as a big bro I got to see often, but by the time I realized it I was already kissing him”)  (“oh well my little sister apologized so I can’t be mad”) is just...really male gaze-y.

5. Joshikousei wa Yamerarenai: “We're not adults and we're not kids–we're chameleons just this side of legal age. Teenage, teenage, teenage–our calves are tantalizing!” (Saying “it’s a seller’s market!” when talking about high schoolers’ bodies and stating men–not boys–go gaga over them is also pretty iffy.)

4. Teacher Teacher: “Well, it’s alright, you’re still younger than my dad–you’re slightly sexy.”

3. Hoshokushatachi yo: “C'mon, predators: silently come closer and devour this young fish” Like, this would normally be yet another Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru/Inochi wo Tsukaimichi-type song if it weren’t for the fact that the song is LITERALLY a call to predators (real subtle there AkiP) and that predators literally use this type of thing as a defense

2. Einstein yori Dianna Agron: “Until I become a mom, it’s okay to be a child” or “No matter how hard you study, it’s meaningless if no one loves you”, pick either

1. Dear My Teacher: I mentioned it before, but “in this world, there’s only men, women, and gays” is probably my most-hated idol lyric for a variety of reasons, but “this kind of thing is easily forgotten, it happens all over!” also deserves credit for being a really awful line

My 48G taste skews to golden-era, so I’m sure there’s recent gems I’ve missed, but my Kami7 favorite:

7. Okidoki: “If your heart is on the verge of caving in to the sadness, try and take a look around you. Even if there aren’t any amazing people, even the careless people show tender care. Even the unreliable people have an earnest serious side. Look—the world isn’t all bad,  there are good stories there too. (Don’t cry).”

6. Beginner: “Do we dream? Do we believe in the future? Knowing no fear, knowing no limitation, still as reckless as before? Right now, do we dream, with the newness of a child...? Let's tear off the chains that have controlled us! Change your mind—it's okay not to know anything, beginner.”

5. Himawari: “The sunflower swaying in the wind blooms with its face towards the sun; it stretches its hands up towards that endless blue sky. Even if it gets struck by rain, it doesn’t wipe away the rolling tears—it keeps believing in the future beyond the sadness.”

4. RIVER: “In your mind too, there’s a river flowing—a river of hard trials. Even if it doesn't go well, even if you drown in it at times, try it again, don't give up. The riverbank is there—you'll reach it at last someday.” Like, I usually translate kokoro as heart, but there’s something really great about reading this as mind and how well it (likely inadvertently) addresses mental health

3. Max Toki 315gou (Mahohon/Rittan/Renapon live performance): My favorite lyrics are a three-way tie between “‘Love’ means being able to shed tears for others, doesn’t it?”, “Even thick snow melts at long last, new buds sprout out from the ground–pain and sorrow too will change into joy and turn into smiles. Tomorrow will always come.”, and the bittersweet “the future is always kinder than we think.”

2. Kaze wa Fuiteiru: “Despite it all, love continues into the future—people are looking for it, in one another. Despite it all, I will take a step forward. Why don’t we pick up the hope left forgotten here and begin?”

1. Yuuhi wo Miteiruka?: “You don’t want to worry your family, your friends, and everyone around you, so you force a smile and lie a little.  Stop shouldering it all alone!  Feeling the direction that the season’s wind is blowing, noticing the flowers at your feet—if we can be grateful for small encounters that way, we can be happy.”

And JK, this is a Kami8, so

0. First Rabbit: “I’m not afraid of getting hurt. No matter what happens, I won’t be daunted—I’ll go and search for my dream even if something tries to block my path! We grow up each time we get hurt: my tears will flow, my chest will hurt. But even so, I won’t give up my dream—I will become the first rabbit.”

#not a translation #I'm not counting stuff like Kuchiutsushi no Chocolate or Dokugumo where the grossness stems from the performers' age #Akai Pin Heel to Professor narrowly escapes my personal Kami7 because it’s a college student and the prof’s age is never specified? #He’s also apparently rubbish at having an affair and has to be told to be subtle so the power dynamic leans stronger towards the singer #On the other hand: he’s cheating #And ‘the adult me’ implies the singer was very recently a minor #So maybe this should be a worst-Kami8 #I struggled as to include intense lyrics like Jun'ai no Crescendo or 1994nen no Raimei on the 'favorite' list #but as expected idol lyrics for me embody hope at their peak so

Watching The Game!

Evening Its Ishida Ayumi

 I went to the Tokyo Dome,

 Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles

Vs. Hokkaido Nippon Hamfighters

 I watched the match

  Date Shimai

Last year together,

 Worked as an Eagles Girl,

With Angerme’s Sasaki Rikako-chan❤

 Also,

 Angerme’s new members, Ise Reira-chan, Oota Haruka-chan,

 Morning Musume ’19

Fukumura Mizuki-san, Oda Sakura-chan

 Everyone went to the match!!!

 I thought, let’s go, let’s go,

Although there just wasn’t an opportunity to go,

I’m happy I was finally able to go

 Today my hands got sweaty a lot

 Nah, often or little, I don’t know as I don’t have a lot of experience going to baseball matches, I enjoy every moment when I go see baseball,

 I thought it was fun!!

 Every moment, whichever team as well, all of the players were cool!!

 I also like getting into the rhythm of it, the cheer songs, the calls, I get into them both

 Ah, nah, I’m still no match for Rikako,

 Perhaps I was…getting into it lol

 I want to go to another match!!! Cheering on,

The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles!!!

 Thank you for the wonderful time! During the day I had voice training,

 I was really vocal so, I realized I was cheering a whole lot lol

 It was really fun to cheer,

 Everyone as well, cheering for Morning Musume,

 In a way its “fun”,

Is that how you think about it?

 I’ll also do my best

 First of all today, My excitement is high from Tokyo Dome…

 Amazing…!!!

 See you ayumin ❤
