【Staff K Chapter 2】With -KAKARI- / SOUND HOLIC
It's been a while. My name is K, a store clerk.
The second recommendation from Clerk K is "Possession -KAKARI-" by SOUND HOLIC.
The reason I recommend this CD is because it is an album that can be enjoyed even by people who are not familiar with Touhou Yuika's songs. It's fresh and fun, and you can learn more about it here.
Also, since it contains arranged songs of various genres, even if you are already familiar with Touhou Yuika's songs, you can meet new music genres and circles.

7 Necrophantasia
This is a vocal arrangement of "Possession Between Dreams and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia."
A yorimasha is a human being who acts as a medium for spirits or gods to possess someone.
"Ripples just spread quietly" "In the darkness"
How can we be aware of our own existence in the absence of sound or light?
The chorus features a familiar melody that you've been waiting for.
I've been waiting for this! Hanatan's vibrato is so cool!
8. Ship of Dawn
The sacred ship is the name of a ship that also appears in Touhou Seirensen. It is pronounced the same way, "Seirensen."
The melody has a somewhat irregular 3/4 beat and is addictive.
It's a song that gives you a sense of the anticipation and determination before dawn.
I really love the unique atmosphere that's reminiscent of a certain long-shot anime.
11. Colored Landscape
Vocal arrangement for "Eternal Steam Engine"
The sound of the steam engine at the beginning is enough to get you in the right direction.
The anticipation of an unknown journey!
The lyrics conjure up a variety of images.
"The view from the hill on a sunny afternoon
A colorful town, a cove landscape, and a wide gradation of blue
Can you see it in your mind?
The sense of immersion in the music through the scenery and sounds is like being possessed.
And the crystal clear singing voice of Yukina from TUMENECO.
The chorus really hits home! Awesome!
