What is Touhou?My sarcasm radar is bad so I have no idea if it's a joke.
Touhou is the biggest and father of most doujin (jap indie) games (Shmup ranchise). He made the first game because his instrumental music was not selling because jap wants vocals, so he put is music in a shmup so players would be forced to listen to and like his music. He published it under creative commons.
The game was a success and there was a sequel. The music was particularily appreciated, and as it was under Creative commons, a lot of covers started to pop up. There has been a sequel a year since then (15th installment coming august 14 at comiket 88) and the franchise is the most represented at every comiket since then (jap comicon) because creative commons and lolis shooting lasers with great OST. Zun is known for loving beer.
