What do you think is the best lead instrument used in touhou songs, and also give examples of it being used! Actually I'm not sure if you can respond to a poll For me I would probably go with piano, because most of my favorite themes use it (beloved tomboyish girl, alice in wonderland, etc.). But damn Raiko's theme makes me want to choose drums

is it pronounced 2hu, toho, 2hao, teehee, tawhaw,...? please help me.

(Ahem)... As the title says, hello, hello! I've come to realize that I don't fully enjoy the prospect of having my one and only post on this pretty welcoming place be me asking for help, so I've decided to make an introduction. It just feels right, and I've got enough to say, so... here I am. Not to sound like a broken record, but... hello!!!!! So, I should probably begin with what first introduced me to Touhou. To be honest, I... don't, uh. I don't actually know?? I assume a lot of people here can empathize with this, but throughout my entire duration on the internet, I've just seen a ton of stuff from the community circulating about, not really knowing anything about the series. Sometimes, I saw content from Touhou without even knowing it belonged to Touhou. Despite how many things that I saw about Touhou, whether it was music, art, even gameplay, I was never able to really decipher what it was. I searched Touhou on google one year, found out it was a game series, and just... didn't really internalize that information. I didn't get what the series was, and instead of trying to figure it out, I kinda just let it sit in the back of my mind and stopped caring. Well, hey! Don't worry, past me, because years later, you figured it out! ...but we're not there yet. We'll get there, though, trust me. I know this is a lot of words. So, last year, I got into a habit of consuming, like, basically every single "Bad Apple but it's (x)" video you can think of. The song was really catchy, and the videos looked cool, what can I say? Around this time I finally decided to put my foot down and start doing some actual research on the franchise. I stumbled upon multiple YouTube videos (you can probably infer which ones), and from there, I... hit another roadblock. ...Jeez. Let me explain. At the time, my main interest was getting to know the stories and characters of the franchise. That being the case, I decided it'd be best for me to start from Touhou 6, as I'm sure is the case with many others on this site. Unfortunately for my young, naive self (literally me from a year ago), I was unable to figure out how to english-patch the games, let alone download them in the first place. So!!! What did I do? I gave up and forgot about the series again... for a few months! In around May of this year, I FINALLY got a working english-patched copy of EoSD, and got to work on playing. It didn't go so well, but, hey. That's the new player experience, right? Since then, I have, on normal mode, """""beaten""""" (2-3CC'd) Touhou 6, 7, and 8, as well as gotten to stage 6 of both 10 and 11. They've all been relatively fun experiences, except for... Touhou 10. I don't wanna talk about it (joke). I've also started reading Forbidden Scrollery as my first Touhou printwork, and it's been pretty fun so far. As for fanworks, I've not really consumed any fan-games, except for like, one or two? But, I've consumed PLENTY of community-made music, animations, art, memes, and the like. Being honest, I feel somewhat "behind the times" with this franchise, as not only am I a decent bit younger than a lot of Touhou fans, it just generally feels like I got into it a bit late, but whatever!! I'm still enjoying it!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Phew)... I need a water break. Give me a sec... ... ...Okay, there we go... So, yeah! There's my unnecessarily long-winded introduction to how I found out about Touhou, as well as how I got into it. But we're not done yet! Let's talk about a few general things about me, since it'd probably be way less complicated to explain. Once again pulling out the "probably like most people here" (sorry to generalize), but I like Japanese culture a lot. It's very fascinating to me, and is probably a big part of why I was able to so easily start enjoying Touhou once I started. Especially learning about the mythos and whatnot that the characters are based on. I've actually somewhat started learning the Japanese language! In terms of the types of games I enjoy, I'm a really big fan of, well, bullet-hells, but I also naturally gravitate towards RPGs. They're just really fun to me. I usually prefer things with lighter tones, but I do like darker media, too. I'm a very amateur programmer and even more amateur musician, but I'm hoping to get better at both of those things. A few more things about Touhou. My personal favorites of the games is Touhou 8. It was VERY fun to me when I first started grinding it out, and I personally love the OST the most out of everything I've played so far!! Practically every single song is peak classic era. My least favorite game is..................................... Mountain of Faith. Honestly, I'm mostly just biased because of the continue system, but Mountain of Faith put me through hell and back when I first played it. As I said before, I still haven't even cleared it with continues. Stage 4, man... My favorite character is... well. I'm sure you can probably guess. As for the runner-ups? Pretty standard choices, like Marisa, Remilia, Koishi, Cirno. You know the ones. Anyhow, that's really all I have to say. Thank you to anyone who actually took the time to read this word vomit, I know it's a lot, lol. I don't know if I'll be too active, but I'm hoping to make a few more posts at some point, hopefully ones that aren't stupid questions about patches like my first post. Maybe by the time I post again, I'll have finally accomplished a 1cc? Who knows, but until then... Goodbye!!

Hello! I just recently joined the Moriya Shrine (Hello to everyone else reading my comment!) and have gotten into Touhou after finally founding a Touhou song that I listened to a bunch when I was younger :) I just started to play the games for the very first time, and I am... Not that good so far. I keep dying around Stage 3 - 4, and since there are so many Touhou games, I don't know which ones are good for beginners when they first try. Any suggestions will be helpful. (And yes I do know that the fighting games exist, I'm just not playing them at the moment) I would love to practice my Touhou skills so that I can enjoy this series as it is :)

this is a place where you can share cool songs in rock style I'm fond of 暁Records, so I'll mostly share their cool songs! Don't forget to love hakurei shrine

Who do you think has the best hat in Touhou and why? Anyone's headgear/hat/headdress in the th universe is open for discussion on their own unique traits Have fun and don't quarrel over a hat!

I'm thinking about showng Touhou to my older sister, who's never heard of it before. What is the best way to introduce it to her, and what game should she play first?

just looking for some touhou games to play because im bored and im kind of new and dont know which ones to start playing :)
