- Touhou UA-cam is a strange place filled with memes and music... but what was it like in the old days?
The old generation enjoyed classics like: Bad Apple, UN Owen Was Her (full version) and even that Night of Nights video. Come on, we all enjoy those songs/videos, but do you really understand the people behind what these masterpieces? You don't? You came to the right place?! :OO
You will learn about various Touhou UA-camrs, their fates and why they were so important to the culture of Touhou Project (east and west)!!
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
You are making my dream of becoming a UA-camr come alive. I am glad to serve you with these video. If you feel inclined to help support this channel, you know what to do!

I am always open to criticism and resolving problems, so if you see a major flaw with my video, do not be afraid to call me out on it! I want to improve, so calling out my faults will be appreciated.
I've gotten into Touhou a year ago and watching these old videos is like walking around a museum of old Touhou videos
Same dude
Same
Same
people are making content that will be considered nostalgic in the future too, youll see.
Same but for me 2 years ago
Out of all of Ciryes's videos, Clownpiss liberats gensokyo is one of my absolute favorites
Indeeeeeeeed
AMERICA RAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Sakuya fucks with time is my favourite
Any clownpiece video is top tier 👌
They’re all great videos
Sidenote on Ciryes, in 2017-2018 they also uploaded some fanfics on Ao3 that are surprisingly sweet.
Yea I remember reading one of them
This was a bittersweet watch, seeing everyone who’s no longer with us, not even on the sidelines. 😔
I can personally vouch for fellow creators in the camp of burnout and/or personal drama: nothing kills your drive quite like having your greatest passion also become the source of your biggest problems.
In the meantime, folks like you and the new gen of Touhou content makers gotta keep the fire burning. 🔥
We are the new generation with only one goal in mind, not to keep the fire burning, but to spread it out of control!
New gen mid af
@@Suwawako thanks bro, magiftw touhousubs harpoonet and many more where my go to touhou content on youtube. I dunno what happend to the gensokyoboys, all i know is that all of them just left.
Regardless is good to see the fire going. It may be burning low for now but is still going.
man
As soon as you mentioned magictw
Man I miss him
I wish I was born earlier so I could experience this old era of Touhou vids. I’ve only gotten really into Touhou since the start of this year, and I feel bad seeing how much I’ve missed out on. Early UA-cam and Touhou go hand and hand
At least basically everything from that time is still up. I still find stuff I haven't seen from way back in the day when I got into it. And really, ZUN and the fanbase are as active as ever, so what's new now will be nostalgic later.
As a person who has been liking touhou for 2 years
I feel you
Touhou hasn't just been synonymous with UA-cam, it has been synonymous with the entire internet. Though the old channels may be dead. There are plenty of new channels continuing to make amazing content. The important thing now is making sure that old stuff isn't lost.
This.
Muchos ya llegaron y se fueron. Pero otros más llegarán. En efecto, Touhou accidentalmente definió a internet, y lo seguirá haciendo muchos años más.
@@HirokaAkita I hope touhou never dies. The community is great.
Its like that one friend you used to play COD/Halo with a decade ago...
It's quite painful and sweet watching people go their ways and eventually getting a wonderful future after or before a fanbase, although it's a difficulty for some people to accept the fact that some people can't stay around too long or for them to find someone close to similarity to the person they're a fan of for (or not) getting them into a fanbase. Rest in peace, AozoraMarket
Hey babe new suwawako just dropped
I like finding old videos I used to watch as a kid, and whenever I recognize some Touhou music I wish I had gotten into the games earlier. I feel like I missed something big...
Ah, the early days of Touhou on UA-cam. It's amazing how many of these channels I am familiar with. Brings back memories.
Thanks for allowing us older fans to relive what being a fresh fan was like.
Magiftw, one of the more influential folks that got me into this beautiful clusterfuck of a series. Mainly the various doujin works countdowns.
Kinda sucks he just... vanished without warning, but life probably had other plans and thus he had to quit. Is it temporary? Is it permanent? Who knows.
Fun fact, I didn't have a mobile phone for a long time, nor a PC/laptop. Meaning for countless years I watched numerous UA-cam videos on my 3DS or Wii U depending on which system was more convenient for me. Meaning if I wanted to view a specific doujin work, fanart or MMD video listed in one of the numerous countdowns Magi had I would need to exit the UA-cam app on my 3DS (prior to the NEW 3DS which had built in video playback thanks to the new hardware it had) and then look it up on the Internet Browser built into the system.
On a NEW 3DS (when I eventually got one) I could just open up the link in a new tab while still keeping the original tab open (because original 3DS models literally opened a new tab for *everything* and would delete older tabs if to many were opened at once) but it still meant I needed to close the video if I was watching it to view the link(s) in question unfortunately.
Magiftw was actually in a BeastMaster_zeman stream back in late May
@RandomPerson295 Any specific reason why he stopped? Or was that never brought up?
Magi got busy with education, aspiring to work in healthcare. He was on a streak of daily uploads for YEARS so when he got too busy he broke that. He explained to me that its was a relief and he doesnt really want to get back, and I understand him a lot.
He's doing well though, lost a lot of weight and is still around with us gensokyo boiz now and then.
@@Clownplease Glad to know he is doing well. I only wish him the best, and wish him luck on his future journey.
@@Clownplease Ah, so he pretty much retired after he got too busy with important irl stuff.
Don't really blame him to be honest. Unlike back then which was more of a hobby for many, current day UA-cam may as well be like having a full time job without many benefits.
It's strangely beautiful that these random people who eventually just disappered and moved on with their lives (eventually being forgotten by many) still managed to leave an eternal mark on the Internet, uniting millions from across the world.
This aged well🔥🔥🔥🔥
Context: ciryes came back
Back only to wrap up their channel.
Touhou is probably the most comprehensive community out there, and soon, I want to make my contribution to it.
Shoutout to Moriya Salesman. Consistent source of translation for niche Touhou content.
Yeah, it deserves some recognition. Maybe there is more channel that focused on English translation? Maybe some recommendations? Especially considering there are a lot (I mean, A LOT) of MMDs, 4koma, Doujinshi or animations that spread out on UA-cam that in need of English subtitles for wider audiences.
For me recently, there's channel like Niwatari Kutaka, 流氓桃子, and Shinobu_iw who provide plenty subtitles.
I'll be sure to check those channels out, thanks.
Sometimes I think about what would happen If I were to be born a little earlier and experience the internet from another perspective. Being part of the touhou fandom in the 2008-2013 era would have been crazy! Still I also like the stuff that has been made while I was a teenager like Mister Jagger's videos or Vegetta777 and Willyrex. I guess what I really want ,now that I'm typing this, is to have known Touhou earlier and not feel weird liking it, as my first exposure to it was the Bonkumiru video from TF2 back in 2015 or so
HEY BUENAS A TODOS GUAPISIMOS!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly. I’ve only really gotten into Touhou since the start of this year. I wish I could have experienced that era as well
Mister Jagger's such a chad
Man I miss Magiftw. He was the person who expanded my knowledge of Touhou and it's wonderful world of Gensokoyo. I do understand why he left the series as official touhou content was drying up as the series was becoming really static during those times.
I do love the new generation of Touhou youtubers who now realize Touhou's rich worldbuilding tapestry and real world influences that is comparable to Tolkien. The series always left me wanting to learn more. In my opinion this is the series greatest strength and could launch the it into new heights if given the Genshin Impact/Honkai Star Rail treatment.
TouhouSubs was one of the first true rabbit holes I've gone into after getting into Touhou. I wish there were more channels like his translating MMDs.
Moriya Salesman, Niwatari_Kutaka, and Ken Towho all translate foreign works. Spread the word about them and if you know any other similar channels please reply to me with their name.
My introduction to the Touhou universe was the song "sentimental skyscraper", I found it in the game Osu back in 2018 (meaning I sadly joined when Touhou was already popular), seeing there are people that were into Touhou on youtube even as far as in 2000s kinda makes me jealous, I turned 18 two months ago and seeing those people were in my current age back then makes me respect them, being apart of what back then had to be considered niche community with very few English speaking people must have been exciting, thanks for uploading this video and paying respect to the OG's, they deserve it
J.T Sexkik is one who got me into Touhou but he don’t make vids anymore.
MagiFTW is doing well, he's still around every now and then in our private gensokyo boiz discord.
He was on a streak of daily uploads for years, which is really impressive. He shared some time that life was going to become busy and he was thinking of breaking that streak, which he was worried about. Then when he started pursuing a carreer in healthcare he broke the daily uploads, from which he started uploading less and less.
I can imagine that breaking an upload schedule like that is kinda like giving up, so it's hard to pick things back up and keep going.
But I can assure you he's doing good. Lost a lot of weight, is busy with his education now (still, i think). He checked in a few times with our Gensokyo Boiz podcasts and I think he talked a bit about it a while back on there.
Nobody is around on youtube or on touhou forever. At some point you just get tired of it and want to pursue different things, but it's nice to dip your toes back in after a few years and reminisce. Good news is that Ciryes is frigging back, doing his own bit of reminiscing.
I'm pretty much a part of this graveyard as well from super early UA-cam. I'd still care about Touhou if it was expanded upon into better things, it's just been stagnant, not much happening to it. The fanbase really carried it man. I'm an Arknights guy now though haha.
It's funny how I've sort of done the opposite. I was an Arknights girl who has gotten into Touhou!
i was expecting to see you there too
i still watch that flowering night remix sometimes
Since you've shown off your investigative skills and ability to uncover so many channels, I'm wondering if you have any future plans of investigative or showcasing some of the current channels out there. They are often pretty small and hard to find so it'd be a pretty cool way to get some eyes on them. There are some really fun one's that are super hard to find like off the top of my head ninoseyasunori's Pichuun Gensokyo series.
This series is so precious, unique, and adorable, that it is an absolute crime it's so unknown.
The amount of work and love they put into those animations is astonishing.
Or, on the more mundane mmd front, Obaniwan and there recent willingness to subtitle their Tengu mmd skits.
Ton more unique mmd stuff out there though.
And of course the legendary "Futo Skates but only once due to unforseen circumstances" by FinalLeet, not to mention their other stuff.
There's probably a ton more stuff out there to be found but those are the hidden gems I've come across,
Though i added FinalLeet, who's admittedly already well known.
the futo video is worth a video on it's own
@DarkSymphony777 I can definitely say the same for Pichuun Gensokyo. If you haven't checked it out before, do yourself a favor and check it out. Its silent animated comedy sketches with wholesome cuteness mixed in. They've been making, full colored drawn animated videos for years and years but have never really get well circulated to the west
Spread the word 🙏
Because touhou is old
Older than some of us
How the fandom evolved from these videos to I want mommy and fumo memes is beyond my understanding.
neckbeards found out about it
nuff said
@@czarnakoza9697they've sadly always been here 😭
@@interlapsed but their influence wasnt as massive as it is now
@@czarnakoza9697 true
@@interlapsed good thing we can ignore them tho lol
Touhou Metal Theatre is the greatest video to exist on the internet. The songs, the action, the band playing War of the Gods by Amon Amarth, Abbath-Reimu and Satan-Marisa. Harponeet is a straight legend.
Man this is like a Trip down memory lane of touhou content, but i cant help that Clownplease should be here somewhere.
your "doujin games" playlist is very strange
I dunno man i seem pretty alive to me 😜
@@Clownplease HA. Nice to see you
Thank you, Suwawako. You’re a true inspiration to all of us. I haven’t been in touch with Touhou community for some time, but your videos really spark my interest whenever I see them. I know I’m only reuploading stuff in both of the channels, but if I was to ever become a content creator, I would love to become someone like you. Thank you! 🙏
As a newer touhou fan / content creator this hits hard
my introduction to the touhou music was with Galaxy Collapse, a remix for Nue's theme
Magi actually was in a Beastmaster stream of Touhou fued, back in Late May
Magiftw is still alive, he is very busy with college
Sadly a ton of 2hu music channels that uploaded music from circles got terminated, too.
My first channel, Aenigma66, was one of them. Pizuya's Cell went on a rampage and flagged a crapton of people back then :/
You will move on too, like all of us. I was only occasional commentator on yt channels. Best wishes to You.
Oh ok
This video hit hard on me,
That flan video introduced me to aozora market, his death made me pursue art as my career path, it really changed my life.
It's like the story of the Silent Ensemble person!
The (old) Touhou channels have fallen…
Millions must graze
Even if you don't see yourself in this light, even if you have to move on, I'll always cherish your content, and the fact that you're one of the reasons why I love Suwako as a character so much. She's one of my favorites from the franchise now thanks to you.
The title focused me to Rei Links, he was the first youtuber that i watched since 2020 until his channel dead. I am not hating him for the past drama by his members but everything that happened to him inthe past drama is all misunderstood. I pity on him but now we dont see him anymore
This video shows that this fandom NEEDS new people to survive further. Gotta get slightly louder sometimes
Most including new touhou fans feel like they aren't living up to the standard of the past. Something I think is probably due to the fact that the creatives of the era deemed the Golden Age had less social pressure, more of a wild internet, and weren't already bombarded with memes from the start of their internet search. I see some channels that seem to carry the spirit of this creativity but it feels like a situation of less compared to before.
My introduction to Touhou began from a very old U.N. Owen was her upload. I've heard the melody before in one YTP and was searching it since then, and on summer 2 years ago I finally found it, and couldn't stop re-listening) Memories of that time are still very pleasant, although I was involuntarily far from home then
You bring joy to those people who have done so much and could have been forgotten. I thank them and you earnestly.
I once ran a semi-successful (for my understanding, I had like 2500 subs) channel that uploaded Touhou music, called Aenigma66, from 2011 to 2018.
Man this video threw me for a loop. Those are names I haven't heard in a long time but who played a big part in my own descend into the Touhou rabbit hole.
I got back into uploading Touhou music again like half a year or so ago, but it's not the same, I really miss ye olden days of TouhouTube.
Honestly a huge part why i can't get back into the touhou youtube community was every creator i watched was a part of the grave yard when i was no longer dealing with burn out but it's great to see that the community seems to be doing well.
Great video as always!
Pretty much everyone from the Gensokyo Boiz or altleast most of them.
Some people did die during the events of 2012 to 2018. I’m not sure why but some believe they died too late to become famous but too early to be unknown I hope the homies from this fandom rests in peace 😢
I'm just getting into tohou, I suck at the games right now but I'm loving it all
Ciryes made their last video a week ago 😢
Hey man, when I saw your notification I thought one of the touhou UA-camrs you were going to talk about was going to be called "MeganOmega" I really don't know what happened to this guy because he It just disappeared after the middle of 2020
New job, and also SoHW being a nightmare, hopefully he's back soon.
@@sacrificedgoat77 oh, thanks for say, I hope he comes back this year or next.
I was expecting to see Kappashiro on here since they had that weird hacking incident recently but that lead me to acttually find out that they aren't dead. Just very infrequent with uploads haha.
also talk about a walk down memory lane. i forgot several of these channels. very interesting
better quality upload than usual. like the direction you're going in
Dave strider jumpscare
7:20
I miss Harponeet. He was my joy source back in 2015...
Man. I used to fight for views against Natsu Ame and Hiroshi Li. Our rivalry (as i want to see it) was quite short lived, but i wonder what did happened to those guys.
And... it seems im one of the remaining Alstroemeria reuploaders out there in my second channel. I also wander... what major music circles are simply fading or already faded into the past now.
Wanna give two shoutouts to LikeThisRLYMatters and Tarmo Flake. Probably the two Touhou shitpost channels that impacted me the most in the early 10s! Their humour and creativity has barely been met again in my eyes.
MarlyFlowerXI is another notable loss :( they vanished over a decade ago and never uploaded any more music
touhou.
Touhou.
Touhou.
If we get a version of bad apple with every character the world will become golden
that version actually exists, but it's lost media
the real version was only available in the bad apple live concerts
I hate feeling nostalgic, but I love it at the same time.
God bless Touhou and its community o7
Alway rember happy day.
They will always remain in my heart.
Oh man I just finished reading little reimu on UA-cam. I really love the story. But so sad（ ; ; ）
Oh yeah! It’s because of bad apple I learned about the name Touhou
Making a timeline
Bad apple
Gangnam style mmd (looks pretty familiar)
Sr pelo animation of touhou embodiment of scarlet devil
And lastly little reimu
Gotta thank the dude who reuploaded bad apple. Without him touhou wouldn’t be what it is today.
Magiftw is definitely what kept me inside the Touhou fandom long enough for me to stay in it.
was ChaosAngel205 ever mentioned on this channel before? he used to reupload a lot of touhou remixes and had playlists by genre, I discovered some of my favorite fan work through him when i was young
channel from 17 years ago??
I love those kind of videos. Massive blast from the past : D
Thanks a lot!
The game and fandom really have gone a long way. Im excited for more
Really gotta honor these touhoutubers for their work, keeps us entertained and content
Magi, TouhouSubs and Harpoonneeet were my favorite channels to watch back when I just became a touhou fan. Hell Magi even replied to some of my comments on his videos
I'm waiting for kkcwkoh to show up.
Both his channels are inactive.
Same thing with EpreTroll, who also primarily posted Touhou piano, who coincidentally, made two channels and also became inactive.
Also is Ciryes' name pronounced "Cheeryes", "Chiryes", "Chiruyes", or "Siryes"?
Rest in peace all Touhou creators....
Good video bro
Man i also miss alice's channel and miracle in gensokyo.., they got the worst fate
Speaking of Linkstarzelda, Touhou arrange/remix re-upload channels Kappashiro and Kogasa54 being the most notable besides Link.
The Touhou fandom has a sub fandom of people who post Touhou remixes and arranges from doujin circles.
Some even could be a candidate for "Touhou Inactive Channels" Moomar2 got deleted so MrTimelessWinter re-uploaded their videos but is inactive. 8 years ago last upload. Crystal Memories last upload is 4 years ago. Advance495 (Nazrininator) last uploaded 3 months ago, but it had a somewhat large gap of time from 1 year ago. The Bishamounten (not sure how to spell it) channel that posted the touhou arranges that deleted so they got re-uploaded by "Touhou Restoration Project". There was also a channel that posted a "Touhou Sexy Jazz 69" remix of Night Falls ,Flamenco remix of Kogasa theme,Latin remix of Minoriko and Shizuha theme, and Cirno theme as a sultry jazz song. However that channel is deleted but the Yukari remix was re-uploaded.
I wonder what was people's reactions who heard these kick butt songs like at 6:21 were when they start finding out it came from a game franchise with CUTE ANIME/MOÉ GIRLS DODGING BULLETS AND WEIRD FANART...💀
Also, who voiced Byakuren at 8:58 and is that Ciryes herself?
Glad I have never played any Touhou games or interacted with the fandom, and just stick to listening to the legendary musics
7:12 DAVE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE
do u kno reddevils500b/a/c (they have 3 channels with those name) and they have reuploaded multiple niconico vids touhou vocaloid and MADs. they is active but, i pursonally loove their vidos! amd channels!
1:05 that from kanpyo midi remix
the title have "hardcore.edt"
and i have 1 album from that
I also miss Alice Margatroid, Marisa Nya and Kakashi (that guy with a Snake Profile Pic)
truly one of the videos of all time
I’m not a smoker, but everytime when someone mentioned them. I feel an obligation to grab a smoke and grief them on the night sky alone.
Ah it hurt 😢
While maybe not on his last video, but wasn't one of the last on his channel (or around it) about him saying he's going back to college? It hasn't been THAT long, so if I'm not misremembering someone else, he's probably too busy with that to do UA-cam right now. Hopefully someday
If you talk about TarmoFlake, that would be very baller. I'd understand if you didn't though, lmao.
EDIT: You didn't. If some could consider Cyres's humor crass, then Tarmo was downright raunchy. Bro was insane and let everyone know.
what about the Touhou remix channel Bishanonten? their channel got deleted but someone has reuploaded some of their vids
your tl;dr at 0:40 was so fast I didn't understand a single word
Hello
"i'm just suwawako"
OH COME ON
You dissapear and in 10 years you WILL be in a video like this
we ain't forgetting
What about Miracle in Gensokyo? While its sad to see some creators to stop uploading, the Miracle in Gensokyo on is truly tragic as one day suddenly all the videos (Which were MVs with multi-language subs, including a lot of KamS videos) got deleted because the channel was deleted. To this day I can't still find those videos and most importantly, the translations because there have been no reuploads and those subs were the ones integrated within youtube.
I still see magiftw in UA-cam comments on new videos every now and then.
This is so nostalgic
bet
Now you're not just the master of hilarious videos but also of funny comments.
WHAT THE
You've talked about the popular Touhou UA-camrs
You then talked about the Touhou UA-camrs that used to be popular and then become lost to history
I guess the next thing that I could predict you talking about are Touhou UA-camrs that no one talks about
Time to introduce people to Atomic Puppy and PossessedbyPheonix.
Is Touhou even still Relevant in 2024? If so, TOUHOU HAS BEEN RELEVANT EVER SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN IN 2007! That...or is it only a meme?
That's very Touhou
shoutout to my old favorite music channels mimikku89 and taboovampire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 I miss those two so much!
Oh...
I bought a Suwako Fumo today :D
I want TouhouSubs back so much....
Touhou 17.5 was so bad it made some UA-camr guy quit Touhou forever
