Huh, a bit lack luster for a third stage boss, but it's still pretty nice. A bit strange that she's carrying Benben around though...

[@Naudiz]

Awesome character, Fun boss fight, Astounding theme.

Benben: Oh yes Tsubame, tug on my strings, harder baby, harder, oh yeah... (What have I done)

Oh f- (“What have I done” indeed sir)

Now that I've seen it in the comments, I can't help but notice the similarities melody-wise between this and Mysterious Mountain. But hey, it's only for half of the song. Besides I think this leitmotif-borrowing works in MB's favour, to this date it still has one of the single most Touhou-like OSTs in a Touhou fangame. As for the song itself? Love it, definitely a favourite boss theme in MB. Its relaxed nature makes a good mood shift from the previous two pumped-up boss themes, and it sounds like a bard recounting a story, which really suits Tsubame.

[@Tynorg]

You've created the start of a glorious new era of prosperity in the land of Gensokyou - The Grand Relation[ship[ping]] of Benben and Tsubame!

[@luckluster]

Tsubame!! Stop looking at me like this!!!

[@awesometrick]

I feel like this was made in garageband, judging by the instruments that are played here.

[@RaysonWilliams]

+awesometrick The whole OST was.

[@Juhtuhhuh]

Yeah, I find it amusing how similar Benben is to her :D Marine Benefit's themes seem to mainly be mash-ups of ZUN's songs, this one has at least Mysterious Mountain @0:15, @0:41 and @1:08 it sounds a bit like SWR's Title Theme (Evening Sky, also Did You See That Shadow? from Hisoutensoku), or maybe it's just me hearing it. Anything else? :D

[@whiteskimo64]

Who drew these characters I can't find them anywhere!!!

[@xXNightSparrowXx]

wait i thought Tsubame has a mandolin on her back

[@Tynorg]

Of course. ^-^

[@TheForgottenCherish]

Tsubame, Tsukumo, hmm..

[@Naudiz]

Nice Description. XD

[@StinkBugWizard]

Yabsame Touhoulen

[@joegamewaffle5967]

Who's theme does this remind me of...

[@AquaLugia]

She looks kinda like Momiji to me.

[@ryujisimp5835]

What is she IS Benben?

[@lucasx268]

I keep hearing One Way Accelerator at 0:51.

[@mocchite]

mysterious mountain?

[@haifafarras8540]

Yeah ikr!

[@acanine8526]

When did Benben and Yabusame conjure up a lovechild, anyways?

[@robotron6420]

Yabusame?

I know right

[@golden_alee]

Peaceful and calm yet cheerful and happy :')

[@Bravidunno]

1:13 Border of Life ?

[@Naudiz]

It's been bugging me how much I hear Ballad of the Goddess from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword... Also, the flute at 1:44 sounds almost EXACTLY like the trumpet intro in The Shining Needle Castle Sinking in the Air.

[@FlandresOldWorld]

Exactly as flanned.

[@JonathanKanelis]

She's an Umi zatō

[@yehwat527]

Sounds like Aya's theme from MoF
