人形裁判 ～ 人の形弄びし少女/Doll Judgment ~ The Girl who Played with People’s Shapes was the first Touhou song I ever came across. Although I did not hear the original, but Marisa Stole the Precious Thing by IOSYS, it is what led me into the wonderous world that is Touhou. Yes, unlike most Touhou fans out there, my first was not U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか？. To this day I hold Doll Judgement near and dear to my heart. Not only because it was what changed my life, but also because Alice is one of my favorite characters. She is the other half of my most favorite pair out of all the characters in the world, and no I am not exaggerating. Marisa and Alice make up my One True Pair (OTP for short). Getting back on topic, I wanted the first arrange of Doll Judgement to be one that brought out how I picture Alice to be. This piece exceeded my imagination of what I was looking for in a song. After seeing Alice -> Dere my thoughts of Alice changed quite a lot, though I loved her all along. To me Alice is a quiet girl who is lonely. Marisa is her closest friend besides her dolls, but Alice knows that sooner or later she will pass away. That of course makes Alice cautious of getting close to Marisa because she knows she will get hurt in the end. Eventually Alice and Marisa become very close, but what Alice had predicted happened. She lost her precious person and becomes lonely yet again. That is what I get from this song. I understand if you get something different from it, but I needed to share my thoughts on it since it means very much to me.
Doll Judgement was not the song that made me begin the Nuke-tan Collection. That one is still very far away…
