Ghostly Field Club - Track 2: Girls' Sealing Club

Title: 少女秘封倶楽部
Artist: ZUN
Album: 蓮台野夜行　～ Ghostly Field Club
I love this song, but it really reminds me of Ghostly Eyes. Don't you think you could switch IN's Stage 1 theme and it would work just as well? I think it's the piano that does it, it's so... well, ghostly.

For people that didn't know, Merry hold a 'lil teapot at the cover of GFC, that's why she has a teapot in this illustration

This song is a reason to be alive.

Yes it is

[@OverReaperCh]

Everybody is thinking what kind of music ZUN try to make, is it rock or not or how awesome it is (TRUTH) and here I am sitting and wondering why Maribel got Fucking Teapot on her head!

[@OverReaperCh]

No, as far as I know, No.

I hear this and imagine an anime where some strange things are happening in the outside world, and only these two can fix it with their studies of the paranormal. And, of course, one of the subplots involves Maribel and Yukari

[@callie_calamari]

RENKO ANIME YES

[@Overlord69]

@@callie_calamari You sure you want to wish for something like that? [imagines Renko's tragic death as a catalyst for a certain transformation that may or may not be canon]

They have their own fanmade anime, more or less fits what you want

[@patrikcath1025]

This is great but why is she wearing a tea pot

[@nannyfunaria657]

She has a 'lil teapot on the cover of GFC I spotted it

[@Crazycolorz5]

Likely a reference to Russel's Teapot

[@Namyag2357]

For when she makes emergency tea. Duh.

[@tamarapanadera7521]

Because in the story that ZUN narrates in this disc, Maribel returns from Gensokyo with various items, and one of them is a teapot (Sorry for the incoherences, my english is not so good)

[@chaosomega623]

@@tamarapanadera7521 so she stole it from the SDM?

[@minepose98]

Sounds like this was just meant to be in IN

[@AzuRemilia]

Yeah, that's because Ghostly Field Club was being produced at around the same time Imperishable Night was

[@jadejacobs2221]

Ghostly Field Club's music is amazing. Probably my favorite.

[@MetalX34]

renko has the expression and look of someone who commits cover-up slaughters in cold blood on a professional basis. these eyes read your darkest fears just like they read the stars. then next to her you got maribel screwing around with a teapot.

[@callie_calamari]

Probably one of my favourite songs from the Renko and Merry albums.....but that doesn't say much because they're all AMAZING! Lyrica Live's cover of it is good as well, actually how I found this song. (and Renko and Merry as well) Love you, Renko~

[@sanae6k]

"Don't you think you could switch IN's Stage 1 theme and it would work just as well?" it does work well as it ended up being the first stage in WNSP

This song is AWSOME!!! I sing this song along.

[@FlandresOldWorld]

@BioBen9250 Hm, I thought the whole atmosphere of the album fit more with Imperishable Night, but now that you mention it, it does sound fitting to PCB.

[@xirinelle]

So this is one of the themes where Farewell Tour came from... Nice.

[@HeartAce59]

Yeah, it's definitely IN-like :D

[@stardustmotion]

ah yes, the teapot, a 3D model classic

[@adaslothland850]

This sounds like Zun’s new style??? Some kind of fusion between Zun’s older style and the newest style.

[@AzuRemilia]

It's called progression

[@aaathoms]

If only he could compose songs in this style 😔 I’m very happy about touhou 18 OST but he used to much electric guitar, the flute is very good balanced with Zun pets. IDK how but it’s new music doesn’t sounds like this...

[@Fishnberg]

@@aaathoms the touhou 18 is more on expriencing the atmosphere, and it sounds weird when he doesn't use Chords like strings as such. (I kinda miss ZUN's classic St Strings😭)

[@WishMakers]

You know why it works as a Stage 1 theme so well? It was in White Names Spoiled Past :P

[@benjamincurran5799]

I thought it would work as a boss theme.

[@HaruTH]

probably this's the original track, but where did i heard a theme like this before ..... is it .... White Name Spoiled Past Stage 1 Theme .... ?

[@teakix6366]

The beginning was in the sealed estoric history opening

[@zskr257]

It is remixed for WNSP

[@IronOnion]

Does the intro to this remind anyone else of We Were Angels from DBZ?

[@blara2401]

We Were ANGLES. Ah, typos, you so genius sometimes. But yeah, jokes aside, I've listened and it sounds quite similar.

[@IronOnion]

blara2401 Well that's embarrassing. Dunno how I didn't notice that seeing as how that's one of the typos that annoys me. I suppose being an angle could be pretty interesting though.

[@lordrichardverania3698]

maribel and renko look like yukari and aya...

[@Leandra_A.J]

Random Nate actually Maribel is the people who chosen by Yukari. Renko is Sumireko.

[@Merry-36280]

That's so egregiously wrong I don't even know where to start. First off, Sumireko is presumably Renko's ancestor, due to living in the present, having the same last name, and a similar hat, as well as being the original founder of the sealing club. And all we know about Maribel and Yukari is that they're somehow related, though I find the most likely theory the one that Yukari is a time-traveling Maribel, due to the note Maribel is found to have left 700 years ago in PMiSS as well as traveling to the creation of Japan before NToJ, plus ZUN referencing Lafcadio Hearn, a man who changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo later in life.

[@momololo3223]

So you mean Maribel created Gensokyo and ate humans in her sleep?
