I'm not going down until my whole world stays under my feet, Miboobs. But I cannot guarantee anything about being active in Skype. Not sure what the cause is, Skype Messenger is shown to be too 'costly', by the perspective of computer's resource, for a messaging application.

For all of you Touhou fanatics, I just found this from a nice gentleman from another forum. It's the same guy who's been keeping on track with ZUN's status updates.

Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade will be released on Reitaisai 10 (May 26).
Aside from the announcement, Twilight Frontier has also updated the recommended system specs on their site. The only changes are:
CPU has been changed from "Intel Core2Duo 2.6GHz and above, or equivalent" to "Intel Core i7 or equivalent".
The hard drive space requirement has been changed to "200MB or above free disk space (trial version); 1GB or above free disk space".
All the previous Touhou fighting games have been larger than 1GB after installation. It appears this time the game will take up much less disk space.
We should also be able to expect the non-boss characters being revealed one by one before Reitaisai.
While we're at it, take a look at Hopeless Masquerade's cover here: http://d-stage.com/shop/detail.php?seq=39859
Stuffman found something from said cover: https://i.imgur.com/BuzYppW.png
Mima aside, there we (probably) have silhouette(s) of the new character for HM. My expectation's raised significantly.

Actually, the orchid, the bells, platycodons and other details on the background pattern shouldn't be important - they are traditional design motifs ZUN simply draw up from some image libraries, and liberally used throughout the Touhou games. Same for the textures used on the HM game logos (yeah, a Japanese fan has already figured out which library these come from).
Aside from the game logo, the only things that matter are the dark, aggressive and oppressive tone of the cover, the two silhouettes, and the idea that there are "fabrics".
My friend isolated the character after some work:
End-Note: I blame BiBi for the i7.
