Hiii besties i'm doing it again.
Look. This has now become my life's legacy so of course i'm keeping those coming! I think i perfected my craft along the years. Somewhere in between volume 1 and 2 i found some time-accurate CD rips that i could use instead of imitation vsts, and my collection keeps growing as more volumes come out
basically my sample variety doubled since vol 2 teeeehee those samples are older than me for the most part and i'm putting them to their best use yet (touhou) i think.
Check out the first volume (2021):

Fun fact for those who scrolled down this far: My mother is also somewhat of a touhou fan (we often trade interests like this and have done so since i was tiny) and Junko is her favorite character (whom she cosplays regularly), so she went ahead and picked the time accurate outfit for her based on clothes she owned and wore in that time period! I vividly remember that faux fur coat it captivated me as a kid. She actually still has it!
