Hakurei

Aaah with this great weather lately it feels good to sunbathe or enjoy a cup of tea in the shades of trees while enjoying the nice smell of spring… uh? wait.
Oi! Reimu-chan what the hell are you putting in your tea!? Gyaa that’s too early for sake… well nevermind *sigh*

I am not particularly into Touhou and I am far for knowing a lot of things about it, but recently I found out by chance that Reimu’s last name Hakurei was also another name for sake. Love this kind of reference ^^
Any Touhou fan out there to confirm this and/or tell me more about it?

  1. Ah! I love that drunk face on both the figma and nendo.

    Yes indeed is that another name for sake, as said by the Touhou wiki ZUN is “quite the connoisseur of ‘spirits’”.

    • Haha ok ^^
      Funny because it can both looks like she is drunk or like she is completely relaxed… one also being the consequence of another ^^;;

  2. I want to get this figma entirely for the drunk face. But the prices I keep seeing are too expensive for only that reason.

    She’s cute regardless, but the drunk face is the real unique bit for me.

    If Hakurei is another name for sake, that’s awesome.

  3. Haha, that drunk face looks cute xD. She seems very satisfied ^^. I don’t think i could drink a big bottle of sake like that lol.

    Happy Birthday lu-k ^^.

  4. Well that’s interesting. It does explain a few things about her. :)

    I can’t say I’m into Touhou myself. Actually, I’ve been pretty out of the scene for a while, if I were to judge myself.

    It’s a beautiful picture by the way. The lighting looks great, and I love the flowers. It certainly gives a sense of relaxing with some sake. :D

    • Thanks =) somehow I really enjoy playing with natural lighting and shades. And the background is just the flowering place I use to relax those days hehe ^^;;

  5. I kinda wish wed see drunk figures more often ^_^

  6. Haha have to say i got the figma for just such scenes xD
    This really is a night photo as well, love the setting! Im in the same boat as you really though, i dont really know all that much about Touhou either!

  7. よっぱらいね!でも本当にかわいい (o^_^o)

  8. I just got mine today, FINALLY! after 2 months =.=
    love your picture =)
