Touhou Game Club

Yes yes yes!!...Oriana dominating!!...aaahh~

OMG!...a full version of Touhouvania 2, that will be so awesome, specially with those voices. I should have been like that for the first one. and Marias should had more deeper voice, like a boy. Yukari was HNNNNGG... loved her voice, I wondering what role she will be doing in that game. Flandre's voice was cute and epic. But the voice I liked best was Ran and Chen's...

Ditto. I really want to play that game with Konpaku. It looks like a lot of fun. I'm also hoping for a bunch of Yuyuko doujinshi goodness. :)

Chen and Flan-chan's voice.... *nosebleeds*

Still, I don't know about Ran, well, that's just me, I might end up having a hard on when I'll play hahaha.

The first one was really great, now that they've added voice and probably improved the gameplay a lot further... I just can't imagine how great it'll be!!

Yeah, I didn't really like Alice's too much, but I did, however, like Konpaku's voice. Has anyone tried the first game?

Aww .. passed out in front of my PC last night, sowy.
Thanks for the advice, i will try to implement it next time i can retrieve IN back.


Note :
I love Sakuya's voice. Just saying.

Angel :
Haven't on my part. Maybe i got kicked because of the artwork scares me for some reason, lol.

Aww come on, the artworks were incredible!! I've played it, and it was really great, though I think it has been almost a year since I've played it, or months, I can't recall...

Touche, i just encounter a lot of scary artworks when searching for pics.

and you know, they are like .... umm .. everusing effects ? If that's the word, then it is.

I understand what you mean, although I don't know the word myself... To be honest, I didn't really like the artwork at first but got myself to like it a lot.

I may walking on the same path as you now.

Seeing Sakuya appears at the beginning of the video is sure make me horny excited.

I didn't quite catch that, what did you say oj?

Oh you.

Look at the video up there^. She looks beautiful that way, though maybe that's just me. But yeah.

Playing as her AND hearing her talk will make you cum instantly, pret-ty much sure~ hahaha

Wassup Gugu, care to join?, Which reminds me....

So, because our highlight now is Moriya's household, let's start with Moriyas's Shrine article shall we?

---

The Moriya Shrine (Moriya Jinja, 守矢神社) originated from the outside world and was transported into Gensokyo by Kanako Yasaka during the start of the events of Mountain of Faith. The shrine is now located somewhere near the top of Youkai Mountain by a lake that was also transported with it. As noted in Silent Sinner in Blue, a distinctively thick shimenawa is hung across the entrance of the shrine building, bigger than the one at the Hakurei Shrine. (As an aside, we can see the same design at Suwa Grand Shrine, the original inspiration of Moriya Shrine. The real-world Moriya Shrine—with a different kanji, 洩矢神社—also exists near the Suwa Grand Shrine.)

This shrine is home to Sanae Kochiya, whose role is similar to a Shrine Maiden, and its resident gods Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya.

Oh lawl, I will download the first one in any second now.

Right after i post Kanyanko's article, and i need this thread to reaches page 66 first.

[EDIT]
Ninja poster above me!

@oj, how does one touhou?

@Neo, sure but I don't know much about Touhou

It's Touhouvania, Goo.
and It's just a fanmade, sadly.

It's okay if you still don't know much about Touhou. In here, we try to provide a lot of useful information that perhaps can help you.

Neat stuff, especially since I've been playing a little of Mountain of Faith. Thanks. :)

Kanako was the winner in The Great Suwa War by beating Suwako Moriya more than 2300 years ago. Taking control of the Shrine, Kanako became The Moriya Shrine's Goddess replacing Suwako.

Kanako's trademark 'shimenawa' (lit. enclosing rope) represents the figure of an entwined snake. The snake, which continually sheds its scales, symbolizes resurrection, rebirth and eternity.

However, humans came to know mortality and started disbelieving in eternity.
Even in agriculture, they continued to acquire skills that defied the rain and winds. They learned that mountains were created from volcanoes and changes in the earth's crust. They became able to cross mountains easily and without danger.

Humans had begun to believe in science and information.
In tandem with that, the faith they had in gods like Kanako continued to wane. To anticipate the crisis, Kanako searched for a way to regain faith. She gambles and decided to make the shrine into a thing of fantasy in the world of humans, and collect faith in Gensokyo instead. Although it would mean that she would lose all the faith she still had left currently and thus lose her power temporarily, this way held more potential. She chose a future with potential rather over the crumbling glories of the past.

--And so, her plans seemed to be successful--

Entering Mountain of Faith story ...


Bunbunmaru Trivia

# Her name, Yasaka, can be split up in 'Ya' and 'Saka'. 'Ya' meaning 'eight', and 'Saka', which would mean hill. Yasaka would therefore mean 'Eight hills'.

# Because of her name 'Yasaka' (countless hills), she's been said to be a mountain deity, but she's actually a deity of wind and rain. She controls the rain and the winds. In other words, she's been worshiped as a goddess of agriculture. The sequence of events that led to her being worshiped as a mountain deity are extremely complicated and the only ones who know the truth are Kanako and Suwako.

# In humorous fanart, Kanako is often depicted as a robot, or an RX-77-2 Guncannon from Mobile Suit Gundam due to the Faith Pillars that attach to her back during the final encounter in Mountain of Faith.

# At some extent, Kanako is also called by another nickname: Misae Nohara. Little is known why the Japanese Touhou fans came up with that idea. Perhaps it's due to the fact that Misae and Kanako sharing a similar hair shape, or due to many fanworks depicting Kanako as a somewhat eccentric soccer mom towards Sanae. Another hypothesis about this nickname is related with one of Mountain of Faith endings


# Kanako is the one who give Utsuho Reiuji the Nuclear Power. Though the motives still remain unknown until now. But probably, she just wants to introduce the Outside World's Technology, and Utsuho is the sample for Gensokyo's industrialization.

# Kanako might be named after Princess Yasakatome, one of the gods of the Suwa Grand Shrine, which, on the other hand, Suwako Moriya is named after.

# The shrine pictured in the background image of Kanako's spellcards is 下社秋宮 (Shimosha Akimiya, lit. the Autumn Court of the Lower Shrine), one of the four shrines that make up the Suwa Grand Shrine.

# Kanako is also depicted with Yukari Yakumo and Eirin Yagokoro. This is due to their family names containing the character å…« (pronounced "Ya") which, when misread, can mean old hag.

# Kanako is the only Windows-series character whose stage has no midboss or whatsoever.

# Oddly, Kanako's sprite changes colors in rainbow order during the time between when her theme begins and when she starts to battle. It also happens to another character in the PC98 ages.
