Hi everyone! While I was searching for Touhou content I have found a lot of lost media. The goal of this topic is collecting information about lost media and links in one place. There are some categories for systematization. In each category the media goes from more well-known or having more chances to be found to more obscure. If you have some info about this lost media or some other lost media, post it. Special thanks to Pinky Cat, Denist, DestartreK1st, turtlegodking and Dioxaz for finding a lot of information and making corrections.

Great findings, added to the list. Added. I see. Alright, I removed this from the list. Your videos about lost media are good. Thank you for your findings.

Of course, you don’t know me, but I want to thank everyone who was active here, I’m the same person who gave Denist the idea to insert about Mario in the video and I’m extremely glad that Pinky Cat found it) (sorry if it's not enough or if you don't like something else :( )

Wow! I didn't think my video would inspire you to find other things! Thank you so much for finding ZUN's level from Mario Maker!

After seeing Denist’s Lost Media Touhou video, I felt inspired from his visual showcase of several pieces of Lost Media, so I looked at the Lost Media List once more. Enjoy the findings! ZUN’s Super Mario Maker Level As one of the few people that owns an actual Wii U and a copy of SMM1, seeing this SMM1 level was a bit of a shock to me as there was a massive SMM1 level archive on IA online already. Internet Archive SMM1 Levels: https://archive.org/details/super_mario_maker_courses_202105 Except, that archive doesn’t really give a guide on how to import those levels on SMM1, so here is a little guide on how to play ZUN’s level on either emulator or Wii U. Steps to get ZUN’s Super Mario Maker 1 Stage Level Name: ZUN - sky stage Level ID: 8192-0000-02CE-AA88 Have a SMM1 save on PC via Cemu or exported from the Wii U. Right click SMM1 on Cemu to find save directory. Make sure there are some saved levels in the save to replace with the downloaded level. Download HerobrineTV’s SMM1 Level Downloader on Github Search up the level by name or ID. Turn on “Exact Search” to speed up search. Copy & paste the downloaded level folder into SMM1 save folder Play on Cemu or import the save back on the Wii U. That what I did to play this level on an actual Wii U as seen in the above photo. By the way, this level made me felt a tinge of “routing” as I had to figure out consistent ways to avoid the fire bars and dodge the magikoopas’ assault. Pretty fitting for ZUN. ===================================================== The Other subcategory in Lost Youtube Videos and Channel category is lacking a lot information to contextualize what these links are for. Here is my attempt to dig a bit deeper into these links. Suwako Hates Mario Party Lost Video Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201010105030/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of1eL8ML4qY Thumbnail: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamegrumps/comments/16m4oo/suwako_hates_mario_party_youtube/ Tumblr Repost: https://supahbeefcakes.tumblr.com/post/39343348055/ihatebikeshorts-leomodesto-suwako-hates An animation using audio from Game Gumps’s Mario Party 8 session. Created by Lina Clari in December 31, 2012 Thanks to the power of the Open Graph protocol, there is a thumbnail of the video within a post on the r/GameGrumps subreddit. The thumbnail shows Suwako with a money bag next to a monopoly board. Note that the video was only privatized, not deleted. SumireArche Lost Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/SumireArche VioletArche Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@violetarche3746?app=desktop SumireArche’s channel reuploaded Touhou doujin music on Youtube. After the channel shut down, SumireArche created the VioletArche channel that has the purpose to repload Touhou doujin music. Gensokyo TV CAPITULO Touhoupardy Lost Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtmZZIBVZS4 There was nothing I could find by online searches, so I instead looked into the name. CAPITULO means chapter in Spanish. “Touhoupardy” is likely a combination of Jeopardy and Touhou, fitting with the Gensokyo TV framing. silvestole Lost Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn_60fNGzYLIy5ZVVqMlwnQ 5chan Thread: https://itest.5ch.net/fate/test/read.cgi/touhou/1590537909 The only information I could find comes from the 5chan thread, which states silvestole uploaded Touhou arranged medleys.

They had a deviantart account, but the account was deleted and IA doesn’t have anything noteworthy saved. There are some Nico Nico reuploads of their Walfas videos from searching up kuroisakura1000 on Nico Nico, but none are about Donations Please. [アニメ] 東方 - 東方活動写真館「橙の幻想郷音頭」 Lost Video Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20120421173016/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu9d4M81dZ0 橙の幻想郷音頭 THB Wiki Page: https://thwiki.cc/%E6%A9%99%E3%81%AE%E5%B9%BB%E6%83%B3%E9%83%B7%E9%9F%B3%E9%A0%AD 東方活動写真館 THB Wiki Page: https://thwiki.cc/%E6%9D%B1%E6%96%B9%E6%B4%BB%E5%8B%95%E5%86%99%E7%9C%9F%E9%A4%A8 This video is simply a 1:36 reupload of橙の幻想郷音頭 by the animation circle 東方活動写真館. Now in my opinion, there isn’t really a need to have this on the list since the animation東方活動写真館 are very popular with Touhou fans, to the point they have been illegally uploaded online multiple times over across multiple online video websites. Of course, since their animations were originally released at Touhou doujin events as physical DVDs, a more legal method to obtain the animation is to buy secondhand stores online. ===================================================== 永遠亭訪問ゲーム Java Version 永遠亭訪問委員会 Website Link: https://houmoniinkai.ninja-web.net/ The last finding once again relates to my exploration on sshiori’s blog, with the website 永遠亭訪問委員会. It’s an artist website that all about Eientei featuring art, animation, doujinshi, and a character guide. More interesting is it hosted multiple versions of a game called 永遠亭訪問ゲーム that was about living in Eientei and chating with its inhabitants. See the NND video for gameplay footage. Java Gameplay Footage on NND: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20292376 永遠亭訪問ゲーム Game Link: https://houmoniinkai.ninja-web.net/gameselect.html Now, the game was first developed on Flash then changed Java for farther updates. The flash version is still available online, but the flash version tries to call on missing files, rendering the game unplayable. As for the Java version, it is unavailable as the Javascript file for the game cannot be found be the web site. There was also a downloadable Java version released in 2015 though a Twitter post as browsers lost support for Java applets. Unfortunately, the link in the Twitter post is no longer online and IA has nothing useful archived. Twitter Post: https://x.com/Houmoniinkai/status/610125458831577089 The closest lead I have so far on the Java version is Twitter user @nochrom, who has made multiple tweets about playing 永遠亭訪問ゲーム up until 2019. Unless this contact goes somewhere, the java version of 永遠亭訪問ゲーム is lost media.

Orin’s Story Genre: Comic Pages: 32 Release Date: ??? Language: English By: Anniptrnn (@homokommari) Book Source: Gumroad =========================== This comic is about Orin’s perspective on when Okuu ate a god to become a nuclear bird. What I love about Orin’s perspective is that its describes what happened to Okuu’s body after eating that sun god as eating a god that supposed to represent a ball of over 15 million Celsius has consequences. Okuu is lying in bed with a scarred front, a missing right arm, and a newly formed eye that pops out in the middle of her chest. Orin worries over Okuu, they fuss over Satori’s rebuke for Okuu’s actions, and then they sleep together warmly to heal their damages. Afterward, Okuu figures out a right arm prosthetic, Okuu and Satori find new clothes for Okuu, and Orin does the final cuts on Okuu’s new clothes to breath air into that chest eye of hers. It’s lovely seeing essentially seeing friends taking care of their injures together, and seeing Okuu’s appearance by the end of the comic makes me appreciate what Orin and Satori have done for her. It is not often we see Touhou characters get injuries that are drastic like losing limbs and having permanent scars; that just won’t happen in canon for how impactful it would change a character to lose so much by injury to the body. That all I have to say for a lovely story that brings its own dose of originality as a derivative work of Touhou. =========================== By the way, a reader that goes by the username kymoh commented that their favorite work on the reading log so far is the comic Manjuu because of the artist’s exaggerated style. To me, I agree with that statement seeing how that exaggerated style gave the comic a unique design that stands, plus the Myouren Temple’s were expressions humorous to me. Now, to connect this comment back to today’s entry, Orin’s Story, I say both Manjuu and Orin’s Story both messed with the usual proportions of Touhou characters. While Manjuu gave the Myouren Temple atypical expressions for humor, Orin’s Story goes though a body healing process to narrtively express the love Orin and Satori have for Okuu. All of these artistically different designs on Touhou character reminds me of artist もりっしー, who draws Touhou character with differing proportions. Take a look at this artwork featuring the Subterranean Animism characters reading the artist’s doujinshi. Note the giant hairy arms of Yamame in the background. See how small Okuu and Orin are in comparison to Satori. Does Yamame feels more like a monstrous spider crawling underground? Doesn’t the small statue of Okuu and Orin make them more huggable? By messing with size, the artist has given viewers one more characteristics to get the feel of a character, and this is all in addition to the artist’s well-rounded approach to expressions. Also, this artist like to employ some jokes with their character depictions, for example Okina is always seen by their back. No exceptions. Not even when the artist created an artwork featuring Okina in a grand slam against the fairies when she is surrounded on all sides. All in all, もりっしー is a favorite artist of mine for his character designs the same way Manjuu and Orin’s Story messed with character design to create unique comics. More artists should try to experiment with Touhou character designs in more ways than their clothing. ZUN already changes clothing design with his characters, so how about trying a different way to mess with character design? It can be more than eye candy as seen with Orin’s Story, and having narrative reason for character’s visual appearance is taking the extra step.

@koakumas your days are numbered >:D
