...yeah yeah, there's nothing Bandai Namco-related for this year's main Hakurei Shrine Reitasai convention, but nevertheless other major music game series are coming back for some more Touhou action! Let's see what's in storm this time around.

It has become a tradition for us to start with the Groove Coaster corner, seeing how it's usually the most active of the arcade otoge rivals on the promo-Touhou floor, ... and boy, does it reclaim that spot with a bang! Together with a Touhou-focused event running in public GC arcades from May's beginning, the 15th Reitasai will be the first place to have the latest Touhou arrange album tie-in with the Taito music game series, with the main focus being on vocals-led songs.
If it's a song made for the music game series that was based from a Stage 2 theme in any non PC-98-era Touhou game, chances are you're going to find inside this upcoming album!

For those who hadn't enough of the Irorimidori April Fools shenanigans, the 15th Reitasai will also be the first place to purchase the fictional band's latest tie-in Touhou album, starring this year's April Fools song parody with a selection of drama tracks to give it a more rounded story setting.
