The virus that spread like wildfire. IOSYS is famous for making flash animation shots to go along with their doujin music for Touhou, but this remains one of their most memorable work. Before the legend though, the theme was originally in Perfect Cherry Blossom, the seventh Touhou shooter game. Actually, the animation didn’t make a lot of sense, neither does the song itself which is full of Engrish lyric mockery. Despite that, the song is a tremendous hit, and it may have kickstarted the once-limited doujin music industry into one that can take on the big guys. This song is still on my music playlist after more than a year. It’s catchy, it’s cute, and it’s mindless fun.

Moar:
Doll Judgment ~ The girl who played with people’s shapes – This is the original theme. It’s the boss theme for Alice Margatroid. You can hear it has a dark and ominous tone, very unlike the hectic remix.
The Shinigami Stole The Precious Thing – JUST AS PLANNED.

    They exist, but they merely re-used the first half of the original video for the second half, no new scenes. It’s not an official IOSYS edit too.
