I've been listening to 3 of your albums "Quiet Voices of The City", "Winter of My Heart", and this one. They are all great to be fair, but this is my favorite so far. I even recommended this to my non-touhou fans friends and they like it, said it's cool and hit the right spot. Keep up the good work I'm looking forward for your new release!
I'd say it's a mix of infrequent uploads, me not doing enough in terms of self promotion, and bad luck on algorithm RNG. In any case, thanks for your kind words, as long as I get some of those it's all worth it
Have had this on loop several times! I love how you did each of the Touhou themes, my favorite being either "April Nights" or "Eternal Shrine Maiden is Searching for Answers", it's hard to choose! I've been listening to the album in the background while drawing, reading a friend's writing (funnily enough, it's Touhou-related), and doing school work. This album is very nice to listen to and isn't too distracting when I do other things. I also love the artwork! I haven't taken a look at all of the text or cool comics that appear throughout the album, but I will try to do that at some point! Also! I'm surprised this just has 3k views and you only have 300 subscribers?! You deserve more attention! Gonna introduce this album to a friend who likes rock and Touhou, I hope he likes it :O
Hey! Thank you for your comment and the efforts to share my music. Yeah it's not very easy to grow on social networks these days, gotta learn how the algorithm works and all that. By I'm glad with any numbers I get, as long as people enjoy my music.
Wonderful piece my friend with all the visuals connected, the story and beautifully crafted soundtracks that accompany that! Much love! thanks for sharing such a mesmerizing experience!
I've listened to this album a few times already, and even with the sneak peeks of April Nights & Eternal Shrine Maiden I couldn't grasp how great of a listen this would become... Something about the songs' sound, they perfectly captivate the feel you envisioned for the album, together with the story included! Great work as always! I wonder, will this become the standard for future albums, where they'll include an extensive story of their own, or is this more an one-off? Certainly can't wait for future ones, should they happen!
Thank you for the kind words! Now regarding your question, actually a lot of people seem to be interested in that. Thing is, the decision to unfold an entire story here was rather spontaneous one, it wasn't really planned from the very beginning. So, with that in mind, I cannot know for sure if things like this happen in my future albums. Having said that, now that I've had the taste of this kind of storytelling, which everyone seems to like, I certainly want to explore more of it. Will see how it goes!
@@akanethetengu5780 That's amazing to hear! Really, this storyline of sorts gave another medium to take in the album with, beyond the feelings conveyed by music alone - Also feels like it pays a homage to ZUN's music CDs by following in their footsteps, right? We're sure it'll turn out amazing the next time and another just as well!
What a truly captivating experience that was! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and stunning story. Your music evokes the imagery so seamlessly. I was surprised how quickly the video ended. It is evident that you spent a lot of time and effort on this, and I am certain that none of it was wasted.
Nothing to say, it's awesome and it's real art, last arrangement/story is incredible. More kudos to the world building and emotions conveyed, I didn't see the hour pass. You are really good with the timing of music with story, it create really much more impact. The "last word" got my mouth open, I did NOT expect that, but it makes so much sense, story or artist wise. I guess it will be quite difficult to top this album ^^
Yeah with that last part, idk it awakened something in me, you know, and the words just kind of started flowing. And at that point I simply knew that I HAD to include it in the album in one way or another.
The answer to that question is that I'm bad at marketing x) especially when it comes to Social networks and their algorithms. But I do notice a tendency that the more stuff I make the wider the reach gets, so at least there's some positive trend. But in any case thank you very much for kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
Альбом отличный. Даже немного сомневался просижу или час, но прослушал с удовольствием. Добавить текстовую дорожку было хорошей идеей и изменение градиента цветов на фоне. Буду переслушивать❤
Could you link the song descriptions in a Google Doc or something? The music is great, but at my reading speed waiting for the captions is like treading through tar.
Sorry, but I just had to make sure that even the slowest reader gets all the captions, plus a lot of the times they're synced with music, so making them faster wouldn't really work. In any case, I haven't yet uploaded descriptions to a Google Doc, but you can find them on my Bandcamp page here: akanethetengu.bandcamp.com/album/dreams-from-the-world-of-spirits just click on the track name, and you'll see the full description.

crazy album wow you are so underrated
Love the art.
Saying it's good is ridiculous. Saying it's great is an understatement. What it really is.. is Akane!
I love this album so much
Why are you underrated?
I'd say it's a mix of infrequent uploads, me not doing enough in terms of self promotion, and bad luck on algorithm RNG. In any case, thanks for your kind words, as long as I get some of those it's all worth it
found you from twitter i think this is pretty beautiful......
i love your work!
Really brings out the best in both the style/genre and the original compositions.
Love the arrangement
Banger, I've listen this masterpiece a dozen of times now
06. Eternal Shrine Maiden is Searching for Answers is my favorite!~
Truly an excellent work. The bits of story add a great deal to the full experience.
Always glad to hear your music. Thanks for another great album.
Charming Domination AND Hourai Victim???? amazing choices
SUPERB MUSIC!

April Nights hit different
Wonderful piece my friend with all the visuals connected, the story and beautifully crafted soundtracks that accompany that!

Yeah although I wasn't actively trying to do something like ZUN's music CDs here, those are super underrated in my opinion, a big of them.
What a truly captivating experience that was! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and stunning story.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am really glad to see the work I put into this piece have such effect on the listeners.
that’s amazing, guys! thank you for your creativity and this excellent work!
This is a masterpiece! I'm in love with your arranges!

Пост-рок по Touhou - прям редкость (по крайней мере, мне почти не попадался)... Спасибо.
I won't be able to catch this live, but I can't wait to listen for afterwards!
Maybe I'll be washing dishes, I think that will fit well 😂
It's okay mate!
Yeah, the struggle of washing dishes goes hand in hand with an album like this 😂
I looked at the first few minutes only, and how can you have that little of visibility here, really
Wonderful story and album, that's a 👍

What an amazing vibe.
I love this. I hope you keep releasing music.

Душевненько.

шедевр, я похлопаю
кстати, ты можешь залить их все на ютуб по отдельности?
Спасибо!
Да, я на неделе их буду потихоньку заливать по отдельности.
