Check out KOH3956's  awesome cover of this song!  _____ Title: 陰日向 / Kagehinata / Double-Faced Band: チリヌルヲワカ / Chirinuruwowaka Album: アヲアヲ / Awoawo Lyrics: ユウ / yuu Composition: ユウ / yuu Japanese lyrics:  http://petitlyrics.com/lyrics/2409582 _____ This song has some really interesting writing. There's a clever use of synonyms that sound similar, but have slightly different meanings all over this song. (隙間/狭間, 衝動/行動/鼓動) The song also uses the expressions 雲行き (Movement of the clouds) and 風向き (Direction of the wind) at different points in the song.

_____ Title: Re:member Band: Re:leaf Vocal/Guitar: 岡本照範 (Terunori Okamoto) Vocal/Guitar: 土屋博幹 (Hiroki Tsuchiya) Vocal/Keyboard: 飯田泰恵子 (Taeko Iida) Drums: 高松延三子 (Emiko Takamatsu) _____ /u/Escrypthia on reddit posted this song to /r/JapaneseMusic and asked to know more about this song and the band. It doesn't say much on the video, and despite the video having more than 100.000 views, there wasn't much information to find. The band members' names are in the description of the video and the channel has a video of Re:leaf's cover of Maroon 5's Sunday Morning . The keyboardist, Taeko, also has a Youtube Channel , with a few other Re:leaf videos. Other than that, it seems certain that this is the final song the band did, written to commemorate their time together. I also really liked the song, so I wanted to gather all I could find about the band here, including a translation of this song. My good friend helped me transcribe the lyrics of the song ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

Song Translation Index: 回路-kairo- / 556t

This list includes all songs by 回路-kairo- or 556t that I've been able to find. Some albums on this list have missing tracks. That's either because the song isn't by 回路-kairo- or 556t, or it appears on a different album on this list. Compiling this list, I felt I got a good look at part of the Touhou community, and especially those with an interest in 回路-kairo-.
