"Stealing? I'm not stealing anything. I'm just borrowing it till I die-ze."
This one took a lot of work! I hope you guys are happy! Ah who am I kidding, it's the joy of making it and looking back at the bio and realizing how powerful someone really is that makes one smile. But yeah really I'm glad I did this. For no reason. Yeah. I'm tired.

I don't own any of the music or images here. They're all just official works of Touhou, or fanworks
