A video of me photographing [s]Will Turner and CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow[/s] Ichirin Kumoi and CAPTAIN Murasa Minamitsu
Murasa and Ichirin (the Jack and Will of Touhou) are the Scene 5 bosses of the game Double Spoiler, the 12.5th installment of the Touhou Project and sequel to Shoot the Bullet. The Touhou Project is a danmaku shooter series where awesome things that no longer have relevance in the Crapsack World that is our world exist. Relevant to the case: pirates and nuns.

It is hard, VERY hard to speak about this two outside of their respective Lunatic video. I feel like I wouldn't make justice to their existence by soiling their persona with a half-assed attempt at describing them in such a short space. Is nearly criminal, may I dare to say. As such, I will restrain myself from speaking much of these two. As such, I leave one final word: There are MANY "interesting" pics of these two despite them being two relatively unrelated characters in Byakuren's crew. I guess Ichirin needed someone to be paired with and artists couldn't find someone, so they went with Murasa. Also, many artists out there are nun fetishist. Just saying.
About the music: This time around I opted for not one, but two arranges done by Liz Triangle, featuring lovely lily-an. I said in scene 2 that if I went always for the best vocal out there, I would end up chock full of Unlucky Morpheus and Liz Triangle in this playthrough. Well, I realized in this video that if I DIDN'T went for the best arrange, I would end up missing the chance to use many amazing arranges. Now, I want to make clear I neither speak Japanese nor am I an authority in the music department, so A) I'm only rating songs on their rhythm and B) this is solely my opinion. That said, unto the songs themselves.
The first song is an arrangement of the severely underrated Sky Ruin, stage 3 theme. Choosing the music for Ichirin's video will be a pain. I love Liz Triangle as a whole for making this arrange. Now, if they make a Last Remote arrange (trust me, by the end of this playthrough, you'll be sick of Last Remote) I will personally write them a letter practically saying how awesome they are. Commit this threat to memory. As for the second song, any hardcore Touhou fan has probably heard it. How can you miss the lovechild of Pirates of the Caribbean's and Touhou's soundtrack? Ay, this is a pretty jolly song, fit of CAPTAIN Murasa Minamitsu. I wanted to use as much as possible of these songs, sorry for the long waits =p
As for the video itself: Now we're talking ZUN. The game picks up at Scene 5, where we are reintroduced to two of the most iconic danmaku in the series: anchors and Brofists. Things also got more challenging, with danmaku generating anchors and Unzan just standing there, being plain awesome. I dare to say this is where the game starts requiring the skills STB was notorious for. Just look at that last scene. Seriously, this is probably one of my favorite scenes in the game. Is a blast to photograph your way through sea, anchors, nun, and clouds. Now things are getting interesting.
