With the recent announcement of a second BBEX international, it reminded me that I actually had some content from the Latin American Touhou community that can count as lost media.

This is an artbook by released by doujin circle Zea Mays featuring illustrations of Venezuelan-themed Touhou girls. Unfortunately, the Mega link to download the pdf no longer works, so this fanbook has become lost media. And for future reference, the other works of Zea Mays can be found on their Facebook page.
From the video game to the convention: the representation of the Yokai and the impact of the Touhou Project on popular culture
Abstract: https://www.ccsu.edu/squid-game-conference/conference-speakers-and-abstracts#heading-108131
Schedule: https://www.ccsu.edu/squid-game-conference/conference-schedule
Yes, that long title describes a Touhou academic talk by Brenda Marina Ayala Estrada, coming from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, who gave this talk at "Squid Game" & Beyond, a hybrid international conference about the impact of Squid Game.
The relation of the Touhou talk to Squid Game seems to be on the impact of video games on Asian cultures based on the talk's placement on the schedule for Panel 112: Video Games.
As for traces of this conference, the best I can find is a video by Bloomfield Public Library, which records the first day of the conference. But I have skimmed through that video multiple times and I could not see anything for a Touhou talk, so unless I missed something in skimming through the recording, this academic talk is lost media.

Hi! I have very little information at the moment, but I might be able to get my hands on AoRY 0.05 soon. I contacted the author and am still waiting for an answer. Right now I can only tell you a little about Magical Moon Story.
This game was discussed in this post on the shrinemaiden forum:
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=17233.0
I also seem to have found the developer's channel and Twitter:
https://www.youtube.com/user/2010gaje
https://x.com/EternalUltima
That's all for now. I'll tell you about AoRY 0.05 soon.

I WAS ABLE TO GET AoRY 0.05!
The author responded to me and provided several builds of the game! All of them are raw and unfinished, so take note.
- Controls
Alt+Enter - windowed and fullscreen modes;
L - starts the level. Or rather, turns off the "Internal level counter". You need to press it once!
F - moves the boss to the next attack/spell card;
ScrollLock - turns immortality on/off;
Esc - exit the game.
There are even cheats:
Q - +10 power
W - -10 power
C - all bullets are turned into stars
V - all enemies are killed/boss killed (if no enemies)
F - next spell of boss!
P - start the stage from the beginning (doesnt destroy objects, only resets stage values)
L - stops/unstops stage timer
1-2-3-4-5-6 - ranA-ranB-yukariA-yukariB-chenA-chenB
7-8-9-0 - easy-normal-hard-lunatic
F1-F6 - stage1..6;
F7 - extra stage;
F8 - invincibility off/on
F9 - turns on/off interface background
F11 - shows collision areas instead of sprites
B - creates empty boss (meaningless for you)
Changing levels, difficulties and characters with attack types does not work! According to the author, he did not implement it.

A few more words about AoRY 0.05.
To play the AoRY 0.08 and Last Version - AoRY stage1 no boss builds, you need to press the L button, and the level will start.
I think that's all for AoRY 0.05.
Zun once made a level in Super Mario Maker, but now it is no longer downloadable, since the editor's servers were closed...

I have decided to go through Sshiori's blog starting from 2010 as way to pass time. I have recently uncovered that from May 2009 to May 2011 that the 月刊ナイトバグ was published on the web for free. This monthly magazine gathered a compilation of art, comics, and writings from multiple people similar to other fan magazines like Another Dream. Of course, what makes 月刊ナイトバグ stand out was that it focused only one character, Wriggle Nightbug.
Noticed how I said they were all published online for free? Their Axfc download links can be all found on the 月刊ナイトバグ website, where pervious issues are found in the third green tab. All Axfc download links use the same password: nightbug
To make it easier, here is a list of every single Axfc download link:
What makes 月刊ナイトバグ lost media is how Axfc is terrible at getting files to download when it comes to older files served on their platform. Most of the time, the Axfc will have the file request hang, but sometimes Axfc works suddenly, and the file will be downloaded.
There is a trick with changing the subdomains as shown in this website, which sometimes works. Sometimes, of course. Here is another list of Axfc subdomains:
earth, mars, mercury, venus, saffron, turmeric, agate, amber, andalusite, alexandrite, aquamarine, cameo, cancer, chrysocolla, citrine, coral, diamond, emerald, fluorite, garnet, gemini, hhematite, iolite, jade, jasper, lapislazuli, malachite, moonstone, obsidian, onyx, peridot, pyrite, ruby, sunstone, taurus, topaz, tourmaline, turquoise, ulexite, zincite, aries, sapphire
Hopefully there is a better way to download from Axfc as currently, I only have the February 2011 issue thanks to peridot, with the rest hanging in Axfc limbo.
Another solution is to try contacting to the people who participated in 東方蛍光祭 or 幻想郷ほたる祭り to see if they have any copies of the magazine left as the newer Wriggle magazines were inspired from the existing Wriggle magazine of 2009-2011.

月刊ナイトバグ Update
The organizer behind 月刊ナイトバグ was 神楽丼, who now goes by サラマンダ under the Twitter handle of @hopstep3. Currently trying to into contact by the email posted on his Twitter bio to see if 月刊ナイトバグ can be republished. Now, while I wait to see if I can contact @hopstep3, I have some more content relating to 月刊ナイトバグ.
The final issue of 月刊ナイトバグ released with an visual novel game called リグルイ1.5, created by 妄想エリクシル who also created Wrigglui, a visual novel that featured multiple versions of Wriggle Nightbug. This was included as a separate download to the May 2011 issue as another Axfc link, though this link only leads to a 404 error. The best documentation about リグルイ1.5 left online can be seen in this sshirori post, featuring a bookshelf of every issue of 月刊ナイトバグ and screenshots for リグルイ1.5.
まんがイースタン
It turns out after 月刊ナイトバグ was finished, this same organizer organized more Touhou web magazines in the form of まんがイースタン. This series of magazines took the same format as まんがイースタン, but instead focused on a different Touhou character for each issue. In addition, each issue had survey about the works in the magazine, though these contents of these surveys are unknown as the link are now inoperable.
まんがイースタン website
These issues could be viewed by downloading by Axfc or by a online viewer that no longer works, so here is another list of Axfc links.

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
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.

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.

Gensokyo TV CAPITULO Touhoupardy

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.

Created by kuroisakura1000 in July 22, 2008
I don’t have anything on the video itself, but I do have some related records dealing with kuroisakura1000. 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:
橙の幻想郷音頭 THB Wiki Page: https://thwiki.cc/橙の幻想郷音頭
東方活動写真館 THB Wiki Page: https://thwiki.cc/東方活動写真館
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:
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.

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.

I don’t have anything on the video itself, but I do have some related records dealing with kuroisakura1000. 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:
橙の幻想郷音頭 THB Wiki Page: https://thwiki.cc/橙の幻想郷音頭
東方活動写真館 THB Wiki Page: https://thwiki.cc/東方活動写真館
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.

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:
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.

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)

Hello everyone, I finally attempted to overcome my legendary laziness.
Firstly, I would like to thank anyone who posted in this topic. This is a true goldmine!
I'm also glad my previous contributions on /jp (yes, post 33725346 on thread 33578796 was me) proved useful to the thread and actually helped Denist make his lost media video.
Now about [東方] ハルノカケラ by シオビ, I swear I saw the original source posted on post 1 once. Anyway, this was originally posted on a BBS (see post 57), and its download link was thankfully saved by the Wayback Machine. This is actually the original source, before being uploaded to Nico.
The reasons I'm posting are in fact the following:
I'd like to share another very recent meltdown from Japanese MMDer aja. They have been active from 2010 up to 2022 (with a long hiatus between 2014 and 2021). Just like with たぴこ, this is genuinely one of those cases where you really wish the author would never come back rather than do that. While their work were nothing extraordinary, they were one of the very first into making Touhou MMD starting from 2011. This is what their Nico profile looked like (the account has been nuked). Unfortunately, I only saved a few videos, as I was only interested in their (not so bad) 幻想闘演目 MMD drama series. 4 or so episodes were produced with a presumably lost episode (due to HDD failure) resurfaced in 2021. If anyone has the rest (which is very unlikely), please share. Meanwhile, this is what I saved.

Sorry for the double-post. My hand slipped while typing and that resulted in an incomplete post. My bad.
Second reason, I'm currently hunting a piece of MMD animation that was recently reposted on Bilibili and simply named "【东方老物】东方文花帖 附赠CD提取PV". I for the life of me am unable to find anything relevant related to that animation. Search engines are of absolutely no help. There are 2 other reprints on Bilibili but none of them has a source and one of them even states having idea where that comes from. The fact that there are no credits in the video doesn't help. The only thing one can figure out is that it's based on 東方文花帖 (presumably Double Spoiler) and that it apparently was released on DVD. I'm unable to trace back the original product. So if anyone has heard of it and remembers when and where it was released, you're welcome. The music used for this PV is an arrangement of 少女秘封倶楽部 that some of you might recognize.
That will be it for the moment, but I'd like to bring your attention to lost MMD models, in particular those by Mudspike/ImpulseJP. Everyone remembers their Marisa, but less their maid and enemy fairies models. Marisa is still available on 3d.nicovideo.jp but the fairies are lost to time. It's sad to see such iconic models (notably very brilliantly used by カーボン士 on Let's Take This Outside!!) vanish. One of their filenames were:
- zakofairy20131223.zip
- fairymaid20130820.zip
They were also part of a very old torrent named "Touhou MMD model data" which indeed today is broken (only 27.5%). I really doubt someone still have the entirety of this torrent on their hard drive but one can always hope.
In the future, if interested I may share more obscure animation (not totally lost but unavailable in decent quality for 2020s standards).
