I think I heard that song before except slightly different somewhere else
I looked for a handful of things but eh I could not find it yet lol
I did find one by the same group using same song as a base though
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNxRFx9I_pg
(夢現 mugen - TUMENCO)
nice pv it appears to be related to a doujin that can be found with search engine of your choice
I dunno if the translated dynastyscans one is complete but it's 200 pages so lol
allenemy.fc2web.com/c74/yume.html
there was also this webpage for it I found
I can't read webpage but looks cool lol

I found on interwebs a two book doujin which kept showing up when I tried looking for the one up there

I looked for those two and I only found them in korean not even japanese but they seem to at least have the same artist as the 200 pages one
there also was a tumenco music cd which appears to be related to the three books

bruh lmao I was looking at the guy's booth page and


I have vastly underestimated their power level

my japanese lets me understand about half of that video but tell me if you come across the translation (upon reading further post it seems sponge found the song's translation but if you mean the doujin translation that would be rad)
i am very interested especially since i had heard the song before in stepmania but i didn't know this video existed at all

spongelevator
thank you for the translation my friend

two book doujin and webpage looks cool but well
i'm illiterate
research will be performed to see if i can find any of them with full translations

i have found the same booth and while it seems wonderful i do not have 4000￥ + shipping nor the ability to read but i will save for when i do


考えるな，見よ！, or don't think, look! is a translation group that has been getting in touch with a lot of people who sell their doujins online, translating some of them, and giving the translations to the original authors for free so they can sell the english versions. they seem to have a favor for the hifuu club so i will share this which they have translated and i have been getting (there are multiple parts)
thus, we became the hifuu club by personal-color

You did some skillful investigating there, found out quite a lot about it.
Had no idea it was so large hahaha

A nice looking book, I'm going to try and see if I can't get my hands on a copy somehow. I can think of some shops that may have it.

Edit: Found an online distributor that has it, ￥5,500 though. Bit of an investment, still, I may set aside the change one of these days.

Yeah there was a PDF for the doujin translation, somewhere. Maybe on a hardrive back in my childhood country, won't be back for a while (maybe holidays). Might try to dig up an online file somewhere if I can set aside the time. Wasn't as into reading when I was younger.

[spongelevator]

well if you meant the doujin yeah the first one it's on interwebs
en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Iyokan
dynasty-scans.com/chapters/dream_and_reality#1
I downloaded it from wiki and am gonna read it online because windows 10 has the weird thing with the read only so I'd have to open and close each image and well windows 10 is garbage
the two in the image I looked for on just wherever and a place that shan't be named
those two have korean translations but not the original japanese or an english translation online so probably unless someone scans/translates them it'll only be physically available in a store or something I do not know

oh yeah I remember reading that translation group on the this one
old.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/h9hnll/announcing_a_new_legal_translation_circle/
one day I shall purchase doujin
also personal color never finished the alice doujin man why they do that

[spongelevator]

it's been five years...

[lazulum]

Been a while eh, probably not much longer.
Didn't know that was the name of the most recent one. It's an interesting name, I've never seen 「旧約」refer to anything outside of the Old Testament.

旧約 --> old covenant
酒場 --> bar

Seems esoteric almost haha
It's a cool name

[Aeon]

verbose zun, as always. although i can't think of any place that could be called both a covenant and a bar
i do hope the hifuu two drop by again since that is quite a while
something from one of the older albums became a major plot point in unconnected marketeers, though

[spongelevator]

magatama lady is found in the mine where izanagi objects lie which is an item found in neo traditionalism of japan right
ZUN havin a good little jape

dateless bar old adam is pretty interesting the hifuu club goes to old adam bar and the people there talk about their supernatural experiences (and also the book merry wrote)
I would quite recommend lazulum it is worth
even has pandemonic planet

[spongelevator]

I know only english and I don't have timestamp so I can't confirm it but apparently in this radio/discussion
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnzhDJzwGVk
ZUN was asked about music CDs and he responded saying he is going to make one

this is the quote

it aint gonna happen soon but eh it is news that one is in the making or planned or will eventually be created
pretty good

[spongelevator]

triplepostin out of necessity

ok it seems by "not happening soon" that meant like
not immediately
because a few hours ago (I am late):

it's gonna be here comiket 99
touhou-project.news/news/6165/
3 songs, no booklet or story
one new song (this link is only part of the song), illusionary white traveler (very good), and chima theme I think

last time he released a three song no story hifuu was unknown flower mesmerizing journey over 10 years ago
and these days if you want to get a hold of it physically it will cost you exactly one kidney
that one was right after a really bad earthquake so probably there were supply issues
now it's a really bad virus
but I'm hoping this one actually gets more than like 10 copies released
I don't know if ZUN usually only brings stuff to comikets and reitaisais or if he also allows mail order like back with the pc98 CD and such so I guess we shall find out



okay edit wayyyyyy too late (actually it's only been one day but eh)
but apparently ZUN said it's an event-only album for just this comiket
so it really is the sequel to unknown flower mesmerizing journey
prepare your left lung because that's what this is gonna cost

[Aeon]

you must be joking i get up first thing i see is the announcement posted in a server im in half an hour ago and finally i will be the announcementlad, no more spongelevator monopoly but could you believe it,
i am still too slow

regardless it is the triumphant comeback of maeriberi-san and renky after a solid fffffffive years so even though it is a noninteger album having it is pretty cool. the song preview is fairly jammin, and he made this for, like, a rural town or something? when youre that popular, can't go anywhere without someone asking for freebies, huh? not complaining since new hifuu though baybee!!

[spongelevator]

to be the first you must also be the last
one who exists in america but lives on the internet
a vampire who thrives as others return to the dream world and retreats as the sun goes up

in other words you must run a luck build and pray you accidentally come across the announcement when remembering that tohovote still hasn't counted the votes and checking the tweetor at 06:00 to see if that changed yet then seeing the ZUN tweet on the side lol


it is time for renko-nyan and merry berry han (get it it rhymes rhymes are cool!!!!!!) to not do much in particular technically 
but they'll uhh
they'll make it work

[rys]

Well, I guess that makes it a good time to start going through the music albums then. Haven't really listened to or read any of the secondary works, but the CDs are pretty easy to pick-up, right?

[spongelevator]

yeah all of the CDs are basically only related by setting so you should be able to pick them up with minimal knowledge 
I'm not even sure if DiPP is canon considering ZUN only printed it once and proceeded to replace its story six months later in the reprint (not a fan of grimsokyo but it also sucks because dipp cool and you can tell ZUN was enjoying his mystery novels)
and the hifuu CDs take place in the outside world about 100-150 years in the future (probably)
I can only recall two hifuu reference in any of the artbooks, manga or games 
one is in PMiSS and pretty major in theories 
it concerns changeability of strange dream
the other one is just a joke so it can be ignored

everything else lacks a story so there's nothing to worry about there
make sure not to miss the minor music CDs that came with artbooks/manga there's good stuff in those

[rys]

make sure not to miss the minor music CDs that came with artbooks/manga there's good stuff in those

Just the tracks? Or is there some story with them?

grimsokyo

Heh, that's a good one. Honestly, the original DiPP story didn't feel like it was trying too hard and it was a different look than what any of the games give, though I've heard that Forbidden Scrollery does some of the same. Following the story through the little notes is a little obtuse, though; makes Protomen feel like a set of cliffnotes.
