Tenshi and Iku (the something and something uniting them) are the Scene 10 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 that sometimes is a normal danmaku series, sometimes a photographing game, sometimes a weird versus games, sometimes a fighting game, sometimes a Arkanoid game, sometimes a Mega Man game, sometimes a Mario game, sometimes...
I'm quite amazed how long it took for me to feature this circle, but I guess it was inevitable. It is hard to say if Kraster is a good circle or not, since some of their songs are cringe worthy. When competing with all circles, vocals and instrumentals, they probably rank somewhere in the middle. However, they are one of my favorite vocal circles and Atsushi Haneoka probably my favorite male vocalist out there, although he is mainly the main arranger of the circle and a pretty good one too. Although in this two songs Ne;on and Haji are the ones featured. I can't really speak much, since I have a hard time figuring who is who. They sing pretty similar, at least to my untrained ear. Maybe if I listen carefully to their songs. Well, Ne;on also does some of the lyrics while Haji doesn't (or very rarely). Whatever -_-
The songs' genres vary greatly. Can't call them by name, but trust me when I say it ranges from stuff you expect from Unlucky Morpheus to stuff you expect from Silver Forest and IOSYS. Or maybe I'm thinking of Liz Triangle when it comes to IOSYS ^_^'
Either way, after listening to their songs again, they are not bad, but calling them objectively good is not that easy. I'm starting to contradict myself, aren't I? Whatever, I like them and trust me when I say this isn't the last time you'll hear of them in this playthrough. "But raak, there's only 4 videos left to this playthrough." Precisely, this means that if you know Kraster's discography, you must have a pretty good idea of the song that will be featured. Here's a hint: Their positioning in this game allows for each one specific song. Told ya' I was going to beat you to a bloody pulp with the song. ;)
Hmmm... Tenshi and Iku... I like to call "Iku" "Nagae". She looks much more like a Nagae than an Iku. Hmmm... Tenshi and Nagae... what is their relationship? And I don't mean it like I meant it with Yamame, Kisume, and Kogasa. I mean seriously, they know each other, but what is their relationship? Iku is an envoy from the Dragon Palace, Tenshi the eldest daughter of an apparently powerful Celestial family. Hell, how does being a celestial works?
*Checks Perfect Memento*
Uh, I see... I guess. Did you know there is some kind of long-lived human known as Hermits? And I don't mean Hermits like Obi-wan Kenobi. I mean a Hermits like another class of human, like Lunarians and Celestials. So... yeah. There are a lot of things in Perfect Memento that aren't even mentioned in the game. Is all there in the manual.
Back to the celestials. There isn't much I'll like to say about them. They aren't that featured either in Canon or Fanon. Like other fan interpretations, I hate masochist Tenshi. If any commentary, being a celestial must be badass, since you have to periodically beat the crap out of a shinigami to continue on living. But seriously, I have no idea what to say about them. I guess Tenshi and Iku rank pretty low on my character preference list, down there with Alice and the Aki sisters. They simply aren't that interesting to me. Maybe if I ever get around doing those SWR playthroughs, maybe then.
