With the recent announcement of a second BBEX international, it reminded me that I actually had some content from the Latin American Touhou community that can count as lost media. 東方 Project-Venezuela Mega Link: https://mega.nz/#!xYhElAyZ!qS9EaEx4p2TZEF7RMcS8wW8HEBctj5a4pnEufgKOZgo Bunbunmaru Forums Link: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/bunbunmaru/zea-mays-project-venezuela-artbook-t6884.html Tumblr Link: https://nesarts.tumblr.com/post/158707452009/zeamaysdoujin-hi-everyone-heres-a-little? This is an artbook by released by doujin circle Zea Mays featuring illustrations of Venezuelan-themed Touhou girls. Unfortunately, the Mega link to download the pdf no longer works, so this fanbook has become lost media. And for future reference, the other works of Zea Mays can be found on their Facebook page. From the video game to the convention: the representation of the Yokai and the impact of the Touhou Project on popular culture Abstract: https://www.ccsu.edu/squid-game-conference/conference-speakers-and-abstracts#heading-108131 Schedule: https://www.ccsu.edu/squid-game-conference/conference-schedule Yes, that long title describes a Touhou academic talk by Brenda Marina Ayala Estrada, coming from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, who gave this talk at "Squid Game" & Beyond, a hybrid international conference about the impact of Squid Game. The relation of the Touhou talk to Squid Game seems to be on the impact of video games on Asian cultures based on the talk's placement on the schedule for Panel 112: Video Games. As for traces of this conference, the best I can find is a video by Bloomfield Public Library, which records the first day of the conference. But I have skimmed through that video multiple times and I could not see anything for a Touhou talk, so unless I missed something in skimming through the recording, this academic talk is lost media.

Apparently ZUN got hacked by somebody and is now promoting cryptocurrencies. (atleast I hope this is the case) It seems like as of time writing this post the posts got deleted, but be aware as the account seems to be compromised. We will probably hear more about this soon.
