There were some Touhou-only events which have no admission for general participants. There were also some early events with free admission for circles, but nowadays such things are rare (at least there are no recent Touhou-only event with free admission for circles).
There are small Yuru Camp only events which combine doujin activities and camping. And there are a lot of other events like this.
From this side there are many different doujin events. There are events indoor and outdoor events in public areas. Touhou Doujin is not exception. There were even...
They also organize doujin events in mountains (general admission is free).
There are also other events like this. For example Flyingtown organizes events in shopping malls. They also organized an outdoor event.
I don't remember if Comiket has ever been free to admission for general participants as Comiket catalog is the ticket.
A funny thing is that today there is a "probably a world first doujinshi sales event at a pro wrestling venue, and the location is Shirahama Beach" (general participation is not...
There is the venue map of Wuhan THO. There are stage, and zones for different activities unrelated to sales.
There is the venue map of last year Shanghai THO. Even though there are some activities unrelated to sales, there are less of them anyway and there is no stage.
That is a term by Circle Goka for events similar to Shanghai THO. Those are events which combine classic market (without other activities), live and possibly other subevents. All of these events by the same organizing group. They are hold in a short period of time (2-3 days). From this side...
I haven't seen any articles related to the topic, but it looks like Yoshika is most popular among female fans by ratio (according to 2025 results, as for some reason I cannot see details for this year results). Next are Seiga Kaku and Tojiko. Only after them go Miko, Mamizou and Futo. I really...
For now it is unlikely. Holding such events is expensive and the current organizer didn't have enough money for that. It is possible that he will have enough money next year. Or a new organizer will appear.
There was one year when Reitaisai wasn't held (yeah, it was during Covid times) and I...
I agree with you. Some characters from the second generation have really good designes. But I think Underworld without manga and later games wasn't that interesting back then. We have Orin, Satori and Koishi doing nearly nothing outside of game plots. The only actual important character was...
Interesting topic, but I think such problem began to appear during the second generation. Let's take the first generation for example. Red mist incident happens, Sakuya and Remilia are introduced. They are relevant to PCB. In PCB Youmu, Yuyuko and Yakumos are introduced. They and Sakuya with...
I would like to thank 不人气的大狸子 for making Chinese translations of my articles. I am grateful for his work.
It is fine to translate my articles if you want. I can add links to your translations if you share them with me.
Well, at least we got FLAC tracks and JYUNYA accepts proposals for fixes and adjustments. If they have plans for Satsuki Rin they may publish it as a major update or as DLC. Not sure if ZUN really wants to bring her back. Perhaps in case more fans ask questions about her we will get some hints...
At least she is still in the code of classic version (open exe in hex editor and you can find 8D E1 8C 8E 20 97 D9 (冴月 麟 in Shift-JIS encoding).
She is also in New Classic version code, but scattered.
As there are some planned updates there is still a chance that she may be added. But I doubt...
2026 Update
The original article studied commercial development from the early 00s to the end of 2025 and it was finished in early 2026. There were some new related updates in the first half of 2026. Even though they don't change the trend they are still noteworthy. So there is an overview...
But there was a much more complicated incident related to commercial activities. The next year the 4th Houraisai (a Korean Touhou-only event) was held. Since 2023 Houraisai was openly supported by Doujin Co. but as the crowdfunding page for the third event says Doujin Company also supported the...
Talking about other Touhou collaborations BANDAI NAMCO added Touhou tracks to Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher; Touhou tracks appeared in Arcaea. Phoenixx published AoCF on Nintendo Switch and distributed a special Touhou controller, published Touhou Gouyoku Ibun, supported Unknown X.
Playism...
During this period other companies made Touhou-related products too. For example SuperGroupies began to sell Touhou watches, backpacks and other things. Doujin stores continued to sell Touhou goods. Toranoana opened a Touhou portal on the site. Akiba Hobby was selling a lot of Touhou works and...
Formation of commercial network coordination
During this period many semi-official groups were formed and all of them were related to commercial activities. In addition some commercial gacha mobile games began to emerge.
The first group was Touhou Station. It was formed in 2017 and was...
But there were other incidents related to ZUN. In early 2011, Kousikibakat (カネコトレーディング) registered trademarks for Touhou Project (東方プロジェクト) and Team Shanghai Alice (上海アリス幻樂団). Their site was empty, and there was no good public information about their activities. Some people accused them to be...
