Original Albums

• Touhou Senshi Tamashī ~ Immense Will of a Thousand Swords: With the Great Hakurei Barrier still weakened from a prior incident, an unknown force had entered Gensokyo, followed by the many swords and sharp weapons suddenly flying towards a remote location in Youkai Mountain. With the chaos caused by the sword-based damages, Reimu Hakurei set out to find the culprit behind the odd incident.
• Touhou Shēnhóng Chéng ~ Emergence of Crimson Acropolis: A normal day in Gensokyo gets interrupted by a large structure breaking through the barrier and floating in Gensokyo's skies, releasing a crimson-colored mist blocking the sunlight and altering the weather. Having been warned of the damage to the barrier by Yukari, Reimu sets out for the acropolis in the sky to hopefully resolve the incident.
