Butaotome (ぶたおとめ) is a prolific Japanese doujin music circle that has been creating music since their formation in 2009. The group consists of Comp (the leader, composer, lyricist, and arranger), Ranko (vocalist), Paprika (pianist and arranger), and Ranko no Ane (lyricist and album art designer). Their musical style is diverse, often infusing rock with traditional Japanese instrumental elements, and primarily concentrates on creating arrangements of music from the Touhou Project, a popular bullet hell shooter game series known for its rich music composed by Team Shanghai Alice's ZUN.
Butaotome's discography is marked by a strong adherence to the themes and aesthetic of the Touhou Project, with albums often paying homage to the game's characters and stories. Their varied releases, like "Best," a compilation album, and "りていく+," showcase their evolution over time and ability to incorporate different genres and influences. Titles like "獣神," "壺中天," and "似非葬列指南" reflect the group's continued commitment to the doujin community, offering fresh takes on familiar melodies to fans worldwide. With a passionate fan base and a steady output of albums, such as "東方猫鍵盤20," which keeps up with their tradition of Touhou arrangements, and "少女煉獄第伍巻," Butaotome has solidified their presence in the world of doujin music and continues to engage audiences with their unique sound and artistic vision.
