  • Tomorrow I will go to Shanghai THO, which is the largest Touhou Only exhibition in China, with about 3,000 participants. Shanghai THO has a history of 16 years and is the oldest Touhou Only exhibition in China.

    that reminds me, why hasn't thbwiki seemingly been unable to record the number of circles for it since post pandemic? Can I ask if there's somewhere else that managed to record the number of circles for the china's largest touhou convention?

    Well, there's actually a bit of a misunderstanding here. Originally, Shanghai THO hosted the Doujin Market in the morning and live shows in the evening (inviting performances from Chinese and Japanese clubs). However, it gradually transitioned to a live-only event. To fill the void left by Shanghai THO, 囧仙 launched the 魅知幻想博览会. While the two are actually unrelated, people have become accustomed to referring to the 魅知幻想博览会 as Shanghai THO, and Shanghai THO's current organizer, 氧气, has a close relationship with 囧仙.
    Alright, I know I already asked in discord (and I know how your work isn't helping), but I still wanted to ask again:
    Can Fate and Type Moon as a whole be considered more or less popular than Touhou in china as a whole? Since you know in-depth about china's acgn markets, I thought you may know, and among other "comiket dominants" (Blue Archive, Kancolle, Imas, Umamusume), these two seem to have the highest worldwide popularity outside Japan. So I just wanted to see once and for all which of the two is more popular, since people have a hard time answering that.

    Yes, in my opinion, Fate is more popular than Touhou in China. Because Fate is a commercialized IP, the audience is very wide, especially when Bilibili is an agent for Chinese servers, it is almost the main source of income for Bilibili.

    Touhou is considered to be a representative who is unwilling to commercialize in China. Many fans are disappointed by this, believing that the failure to commercialize like Fate has caused Touhou to miss an opportunity to absorb young fans.

    Probably around 2017, Fate's popularity in China reached its peak, especially the performance of TH16 was unsatisfactory, which was also the biggest decline faced by Touhou in China.

    As for the areas outside China, I don't know very well, because in fact, I'm just starting to do research similar to "game sociology".

    alright, thanks for the reply, and guess I'll be waiting for your report on game sociology.
    Touhou Only tickets are between 7-10 USD all over China, I love the market economy.

    I think it sounds more like fixed prices.
    That is a normal thing in Doujin.
    I will attend the regular meeting of the Touhou community among universities in Dalian on April 13. This meeting is intended to unite the Touhou community at the university level and can be regarded as a preview of Dalian THO. In fact, if you are struggling to establish a local Touhou community, you might consider developing it within the student population (especially university students).
    I will receive my custom Mamizou Fumo tomorrow (cost me about $15), thanks to Made in China, some less popular characters that don't have official Fumo can have the same status as those more popular characters.
    In the QQ groups of Touhou in various regions, there is often a robot responsible for forwarding information about Touhou Only in other regions and promoting the products of the Doujin club. I think this is very cool and reflects the cohesion of the Chinese Touhou community.
    I think there should be Chinese Touhou fans here, so it shouldn’t prevent me from writing some content related to the Chinese Touhou community here.
