小4の次男坊が、女の子の友達から東方のキャラの似顔絵を3枚ももらってきた。どれもうまいのなんの。驚いて「え、東方知ってるの?」と聞くと、「クラス中知ってるよ」。…東方、あと20年行けまっせ。


>Female classmates of my second son in grade 4 gave him three Touhou drawings. All really good! I was surprised and asked him if he knew Touhou. He says everyone in the class does. Touhou will totally be around 20 years from now.

I thought Touhou was dying due to to its rivals. Help me understand, /jp/. How do children know about Touhou? And how how far doea it go?

That kind of talk only happens among pathetic tribalists trying to validate their own groups over arbitrary metrics such as circle numbers or whatever is convenient to their narrative. The actual cultural relevance of Touhou/Kancolle/Nintendo/SportsteamX or whatever it is they are discussing the "death" of has no relevance to their circlejerk.

As someone who got into Touhou as a child, it's just something you stumble upon.

Watched a few more IOSYS videos and branched out to different circles; never looked back. My 2hu love is going on strong, and I'm nearly 20.

Could be for many reasons:

Many of the Touhoufags from mid-2000s to early-2010s are grown up to the point where they have children now, and shared the Touhou experience with these kids.

Either that, or it could have to do with the fact that the Touhou community compared to other "rivals" (Kancolle, Kemono Friends, etc.) is really spontaneous and more community-driven compared to other fandoms.

There really is something for everyone such as: gamers, fangame developers, litfags, artists, 3D hobbyists, parodyfags, listeners, collectors (fumo, figma, daki, etc.), voice drama-fags, and more.

The fact that ZUN allowed all these fan projects and the community to play in this world that he built has really helped ensure the longevity of the series to come. It's merely taking a break since the internet is taking a break, but I suspect that it'll come back under a new form or direction with the new generation trying to pick up the pieces and continue where the previous one left off. (Let's hope they don't try to infuse the notorious Cookie voice drama into this.)

Also, it's not as controlled as say KADOKAWA and Kancolle, or Namco-Bandai and the Love Live! community (how they're cracking down on doujins and fanworks by the LL! community).

It's because Touhou is iconic. The games and characters have a timeless design that doesn't really pander to say, otaku or anything like that. The problem is that when you pander to a specific market you limit how wide your market can grow.

So while eventually Kancolle and the like will fade away and be replaced by the next flash in the pan title Touhou will persist because it's not tied to servers or constant dopamine-manipulating mechanics.

I wouldn't really say Touhou is iconic outside of a broader niche of Japanese media culture, but it can absolutely both be a niche but have elements that are iconic.

I hope Touhou continues on. It almost certainly has many, many suits eyeing it and wondering just how to make all those neetbux fall into their pockets.

If anything, hopefully the way it is designed helps keep it alive. Fan-creators create content, fans buy the content, fan-creators make more content. It's a self-feeding cycle and with the internet, there's no need to rely on a distributor.

You know Touhou is dying. Those children will mature and get bored of Touhou soon.
Touhou's only popular because of the memes and fan-stuff more than ZUN's works. ZUN was lucky to being born with a talent for music, which is slowly losing by the way, most of his songs are good enough to get ytpmvs and arranges, just see "U.N. Owen Was Her" and "Nights of Nights". Even Undertalefags are using Touhou arranges for their fanmade shit.
The fact that ZUN is very "kind" with the copyright helped Touhou to grow. People took advantage of this to sell albums, merchandise, fan-games, doujinshis and shit. Maybe not everyone buy the fucking fan-games but they're still popular and get some audience since they're related to a series with loyal fans, those fan-games would never have the same attention if they use original characters because people will obviously ignore them so the devs use Touhou characters since there's no big problem and they make sure someone who feels familiar with the characters and the series will take a look at their work. Doujinshis are the same, it's no big surprise that Touhou is the series with the largest amount of works in nhentai.
What does this have to do with Touhou being popular? Simple. Touhou is popular because of the unofficial fan works, if ZUN was more strict with the copyright, this series would be invisible. The series is too mediocre to be alive by itself. Just take a quick look at /jp/, reddit, youtube and other forums and most posts are memes, fanart(20 years and ZUN's art's still worse than MGQ! LMAO!) or some fan work like those NicoNico PVs, some fan-game, an arrange or other shit. There's no discussion about the games or the official works, have you ever wondered why gameplay threads or the Touhou general in /vg/ is always fucking dead?, even more than 50% of fan-games are other genre than bullet hell so I'm starting to wonder if someone unironically likes ZUN's games or bullet hells in general because danmakufu is pretty fucking dead, just with very few exceptions like AJS. Take a look at some other game's community and you'll see a difference. Even games with shit gameplay like Hyperdimension Neptunia has other enjoyable things like characters and it makes fans to like the official games as they are but Touhou has nothing enjoyable, except the music. The characters have no personality, Touhoufags just pick a character and make their personality the first impression they get of the character so if Alice is a tsundere and loves Marisa in the fandom, automatically becomes the canon Alice. This wouldn't be a problem if the characters didn't lack a personality and the conversations in the games weren't just an excuse to have a "story". You /jp/fags wouldn't have too much to post here if there was no fan-art and it makes sense many japanese artists draw shit of the characters, it's the same as the fan-games, Touhou has fans so if someone draws Reimu then the drawing definitely will get attention from one of the many 2hufags and the artist will become famous if keeps making Touhou art, this is why Touhou is also very popular in hentai, everyone gets horny with their waifu and with this many 2hufags, artists have found a gold mine. ZUN's success has also made many musicians very envious of him, that's why there are many miserable ZUN wannabes out there who think ZUN's music is perfect and everyone should learn of him, for example Mikoto Hiroyuki aka Lenk64 or fucking Sylvysprit. The music of these two wannabes isn't too bad but none of them will ever reach ZUN in music quality. At least Mikoto has talent for drawing and could make hentai of their OCs.
It's a weird cycle, ZUN keeps making games, introducing characters and shit and those who create fan content with Touhou can use those new characters, music and all the new bullshit so Touhou remains alive and it keeps ZUN's name relevant and with ZUN being relevant, there's still interest between the 2hufags and ZUN can release his next game, which won't offer anything new but no one will play it anyways, then the japanese devs, hentai artists and musicians can create more content and won't starve and then again 2hufags have stuff to circlejerk about and the series remains alive and this cycle repeats. But it seems this won't last forever and ZUN will have to think of other way to keep his series alive because I can tell Touhou is slowly turning into a dry corpse.
In conclusion, Touhou highly depends on the fan-made works to survive, this is possible thanks to ZUN and his friendly copyright. But I don't see a long lifespan on this niche series so enjoy its last few years, 2hufags.

You're basing it around the western fandom, which was never big in the first place.
You're also implying that when these jap children grow up they're going to grow off of Touhou.
There's also plenty of discussion about the games and the official works, the fuck are you talking about? Literally recently just in /jp/ everyone was fuming about Reimuhater the past few months.
SHMUPs are also popular in Japan. CAVE Shooters and Touhou are probably the most popular Bullet Hells out there, there's a reason how Touhou got traction in the first place.

You don't know what you're talking about and you're clearly a secondary.

This is a big thing in Touhou. And it's not "leaving hints for people to solve on their own" or "creating openings for fanworks to do things their own way"... at least, not entirely. There's also a running theme that very few things in life are black and white.

E.g. FS has that scene with Kosuzu and Akyuu that amounts to:
>"Youkai protect the village? But then are they our enemies or our friends? Which is true?"
>"You're too young to understand. BOTH are true. We humans choose the first answer not because it's more correct, but so that Gensokyo can survive."

Are you seriously using "the modern games are bad" meme? Please kill yourself EoSDshitter/PCBtard. The music and danmaku are the same quality. The characters are arguably better. You do realize that fan works exist solely because their creators love the games so much, right? Just because your EoSD loli porn printer is running out doesn't mean the series is dying.

I mean, Sumi canonically posts about her adventures on Twitter and gets mad when no one believes her.

Though if anything, Rinnosuke might be a better choice. He seems more likely to believe that people would be interested in watching him.

Having different communities is in fact part of the point. With the social aspect, you can always choose not to associate and go somewhere with the people you want to associate with. People that you don't like happening to like the thing you like shouldn't hamper your enjoyment of that thing. You shouldn't even need any social component in order to enjoy something. If you think you have to pretend not to like something (or even avoid it) because you think the undesirables taint people's image of you as a fan of that thing, you are way too conscious about what other people think.
