Hello. I am sorry I wasn't active for around two weeks, I had to do a lot of work to do IRL and related to the database of Touhou events (it took much more time than I expected). But now I can make an announcement: the database is fully finished. It combines a lot of info collected by TESC, THBWiki and information from other places. I want to thank TESC, THBWiki and other people who tracked Touhou events because it helped a lot. This project helped me to know much more about different events. Now I can say that a lot of things Touhou researchers say about this is mostly true, but some data is outdated or has mistakes. For example looking at the data now I can say that processes during 2014-2019 were more complex than it was described in previous researches (because some data was missed) So now I will cover info which we can get by statistics and info from previous researches. So we can know what happened in Touhou Doujin (major part of Japanese Touhou community) for two decades and its current state. For now I can say say that Touhou-only events in Japan are mostly about offline activities (COVID and Post-COVID times prove this). I will cover mostly sales events, but there are a lot of kinds of Touhou-only events and combinations of them (for example there is an event which combines sales, concert, cosplay and dancing). And now I will publish some teasers:

Hello moriya shrine I am currently about to shower and sleep. I just ate some really good fruit too.

roses are red, what people use to call for others is "hey", it's ten days before my bday

i swear, waiting for my birthday feels like a long hell trip, at best, it's in less than two weeks!!

Hey, i took a break but IM BACK YAY

NO WAY 420 POSTS!!!!!!

THE "THUMBS-UP" REACTION HAS RETURNED!! Seriously this used to be my favorite reaction before the system was renovated and it was technically replaced with the "thinking" reaction, which had previously been requested as well. I'm genuinely ecstatic to have both now!

Hi, I just joined a few days ago. I've known Touhou way before I created this account so, don't expect me to not get short Shkiieiki Yamaxanadu jokes

To anyone who needs a miracle: Pray to this image NOW It is the embodiment of miracle itself, which I have encountered by purely miraculous chance. Thanks to it, I actually re-discovered a long lost song that I like a lot (it's the thumbnail of that song). No seriously, this pic is located at the 876th page of Sanae on Danbooru (during that day) and I acutally found it within 4 clicks. I should have bought a lottery ticket that day...

Hello. I want to share some thoughts I have after observing Japanese Touhou community for some time. I see that a lot of non-Japanese fans do not see some things the same way as Japanese fans see it. So, I think it is important to share such notices to reduce the amount of misunderstandings. It is important to understand that a lot of Japanese people (and ZUN) understand Copyright and respect not in the same way Western people see it, and there are a lot of misunderstandings because of that (and there may be problems because of that). That leads to a big number of unspoken rules (except official guideline) which most Japanese fans understand, but Western fans do not know about them. Examples: 1. Raising money before work's release (for example crowdfunding) is still a no-no in doujin sphere even now. It somewhat changed after COVID (because some doujin circles and even doujin events realized that they need to find a way to survive), so it is not that big no-no now. What about Touhou? In 2014 and 2015 there were 2 attempts to make fan content with crowdfunding. What important to note that many Japanese fans weren't supporting them (especially after ZUN's interview in 2014 (after first attempt) and Ruw's comments in 2015 (during the second one)). For a long time nobody attempted to do it again but after COVID some big circles contacted ZUN directly and he allowed them to do the crowdfunding campaigns. After that ZUN changed this unspoken rule to actual rule: crowdfunding is not very welcome, but if you really want to do it, you need to get ZUN's allowance. 2. If you want to make a new strong, solid or big (and the border of this is very vague) fanwork based on another (fan)work (for example fan album), you cannot steal art and music from the original work (examples: a lot of unreleased scripts (a few examples) (a lot of them were unreleased because of that), TCL, RE: TLC) 3. Most unofficial uploads of official Touhou music and arranges (and doujinshi and paid fan games download links) on Youtube or other sites are considered as piracy (you should ask for allowance from doujin circles, or they may DMCA you (a lot of content from Youtube disappeared because of that (some of them, they uploaded vocal arranges of Touhou songs))) (Also, Japanese fans were surprised when ZUN said that he listened to them to refresh his memory of some his old works (first of all they were surprised that ZUN cannot remember everything, next they were surprised that ZUN listen to pirate uploads of his music)). Also about AI. There is no strict unspoken rule about that. I have covered that before, TL;DR: ZUN don't like AI, but you can use it in your fanworks (even for doujin events). But a lot of Japanese fans don't really like AI. Also there may be some more unspoken rules I don't know or I have forgot about. For a lot of Western fans such unspoken rules are strange and weird, they are not in the guideline, but for many Japanese fans such rules are natural. There are also some other strange official limitations (thanks to Ruw, and maybe ZUN), but they are well-known for fan content creators because they are in guideline.
