Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sound Holic (stylized as SOUND HOLIC in all-caps) is one of the longest-running Doujinshi music circles in Japan, dating all the way back to 2006. They specialize in creating music arrangements of video games like beatmania and Mega Man, but they're best known for their arrangements of Touhou Project music.SOUND HOLIC is known for having a very diverse coverage of music genres which includes Pop, Jazz, Heavy Metal, Rock, and Eurobeat. This diversity makes them stand out among other circles that usually focus on one or two genres, and helps keep their album releases fresh each year. While they have done albums solely dedicated to a single genre on occasion (such as the rock albums done by guitarist 709sec.), most of their album releases have music diversity as their main selling point with several guest musicians and vocalists from other circles offering their contributions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On the Touhou side of things, while not as influential as circles like Alstroemeria Records and IOSYS (the latter two having brought Touhou doujin music into the mainstream with "Bad Apple!!" and "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" respectively), SOUND HOLIC is still a major player in the Touhou doujin music industry for their diverse arrangements of Touhou themes, being very active in their album releases every year. They were also responsible for creating one of the first fan-made Touhou anime called "Touhou Project Side Story: Memories of Stars" in 2007, and co-developed the soundtrack for the 2015 Touhou fan game Gensou Skydrift alongside circle StarDrops and composer U2 Akiyama from Twilight Frontier.They have a sub-branch called SWING HOLIC (founded in 2008), which primarily focuses on arrangements of the Swing genre.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Their discography is far too numerous to list individually on this page. While a complete discography of their Touhou albums can be found here, their discography for their non-Touhou albums like beatmania and Mega Man are too scant and incomplete to find reliable sources of info on, likely due to licensing issues.

Covers Always Lie
 SOUND HOLIC (Music) / int_7315fd38
comment
Covers Always Lie: The characters on the cover are usually relevant to the album. The exceptions are the albums based on bosses from specific stages: The cover of LAST BOSS features Reimu and Marisa. Only Reimu has served as a final boss, and none of the themes on the album belong to her at all. At least both of the girls have fought most of the bosses represented on the album. The cover of EXTRA BOSS features Sakuya and Youmu. Neither has ever been an Extra boss, and they've only faced a few Extra Stage bosses each. The cover of FIFTH BOSS features Sanae and Aya. The latter has — you guessed it — never appeared as a stage 5 boss. At least Sanae's theme is arranged on the album.

Instrumentals: The SOUND HOLIC MEETS TOHO albums are mostly or entirely instrumental. The compilation SOUND HOLIC MEETS TOHO ~JAZZ ARRANGE SELECTION~ consists of instrumental jazz arrangements from this series. Their main Touhou albums start with an instrumental intro. Some of them contain more instrumentals later on as well. The TOHO PIANISM albums are entirely instrumental.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming
 SOUND HOLIC (Music) / int_ac4ac8e5
comment
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Their SOUND HOLIC MEETS TOHO have titles on the form SOUND HOLIC MEETS TOHO ~[Japanese title]~ The Kanji Series and New Kanji Series both follow the pattern [kanji] -ROMANIZED KANJI-: For their one-game albums, the kanji is the third kanji of the game's title (i.e. the first that isn't 東方). If they later make another album based on the same game, the new title will use the third and fourth kanji. Examples: their Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith albums 風 -KAZE- and 風神 -FUUJIN-. In the "New Kanji Series", the kanji are the last name of a playable Touhou character. The Splatoon parody album uses "烏賊", which means "squid". One album uses "令和" (Reiwa). It's SOUND HOLIC's first all-new album in the Reiwa era.note They released two compilation albums at the same event. Their boss-themed albums follow the basic pattern, but still stand out: they all use "強敵" ("Tough Enemy") for the kanji, and replace the romanization with "[STAGE] BOSS" (e.g. "FIFTH BOSS"). All of their metal albums have "Metallic" or "Metallical" in the title. The Featuring 709sec. albums have titles that consist of two English words, e.g. Frozen Freezer and Chaos Bringer.
