Nice to meet you! I've been in the Touhou fandom since 2009 and have been an active editor here since 2018. You may know me from my work on doujin music pages where I add new or obscure releases, or update album pages with information from the release site and/or TLMC scans. You might also know me for my work on adding doujinshi to the wiki, or for adding various fanworks from the international fandom. Well, I just add what interest me haha, and there are a lot of things that I'm interested in, so what I do here tend to be all over the place. I do try to add as much info and links possible so other people can easily pick things up and add missing info.


Over the years, I've realized that the fandom is uninmaginably huge, and with that comes with the realization that there's a huge amount of fanworks that aren't recorded on this wiki. There are tons of fanworks recorded on doujinshi.org or Surugaya that aren't on here, and even more that aren't recorded on those sites. Adding them all is something that requires commitment, and definitely something that would go faster with even 10 dedicated people working on it. If you want to help but feel that you can't because you don't understanding Chinese, there's a pretty good English UI translation that you can switch to at the bottom of the sidebar, and I have [[#Reference/Help Pages|some guides on my user wiki]] that can help you with editing. More importantly, you can join the [https://discord.gg/R4zVbde wiki Discord server] for more help. Sadly Discord is blocked in China, so there aren't really any Touhou fans from China you can talk to besides the mods (and if you're lucky, a few other peeps who sometimes chat), but this place is always looking for new editors. If you want, you can even ping me with an edit you did and I can look over it.


Oh, favorite Touhou characters? That changes often, but Sumireko and Junko are a constant favorite. Mokou, Doremy, Narumi and the Grassroots Youkai trio are up there too. 


Beyond that... uh I care a lot about music? I'm not gonna claim to be the type of person who listens to everything, since I'm very much not a pop guy. The types of music I tend to enjoy are extreme, progressive and post-metal, the bass/breaks/industrial side of EDM, chiptune/tracker and -adjacent music (especially digital fusion), the out-there side of prog rock and hip hop, and a bunch of other specific genres that would make this part overly long. I'm also interested in music from all around the world, though it's not a super huge priority for me to seek them out (my motivation for discovering music is personal curiosity, and that can be all over the place as you can see by what I do here). Anyways, just peep my [https://rateyourmusic.com/~Demobanker my RateYourMusic account] or [https://www.last.fm/user/Demobanker last.fm account] to get a grasp of my music taste. Do note that my RYM ratings represent just a small part of my music taste. Anything that I wishlist or mark as owned (with some exceptions where I own a release for archival reasons) are music that I've listened to and liked. Hopefully you can discover something you enjoy! Also, the main writing I do there is on [https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Demobanker/a-trip-through-the-land-of-breakcore-some-drill-and-bass/ this list] where I explore the hardcore EDM subgenre breakcore, a genre that I've listened to for over a decade and one that's not known in China besides a small scene in the early to mid-2000s.

...which probably makes me the most knowledgeable Chinese person on that topic. But who knows, it's a big country so there's gotta be others out there.

A tip if you're new to the site: the lists are the best part. The best album charts are useful for gauging a general music nerd consensus, but don't really convey context beyond the fact that they were critically received or beloved by the site. In contrast, lists offer something more personal and curated, and covers a lot of ground from genre deep dives, local music discoveries, listening diaries, artist/band overviews, and even novel ways to understand music. The lists I [https://rateyourmusic.com/favorite/by?user_req=Demobanker favorited on the site] have been very useful in discovering things. This is not to say that you should avoid using charts at all, but that you should filter things (using genre combos, filtering by country or language, or even changing the release types) to get the most out of it. Even knowing about music cultures in general, like the importance of live perfomances in jazz or mixtapes in hip hop, can help a lot with charts.


Despite having listened to a lot of Touhou music over the years, it's hard for me to call it my favorite type of music. There are many releases I like and a handful that I especially love, but a lot of them just don't feel very interesting to me. It also doesn't help that the scene tends towards the retro and nostalgic (seriously, how does the EoSD cast still rank so high on popularity contests despite their derivative 90s designs that don't even have much to do with the series' Japanese mythology theme? Where's generation of young fans who are interested in new characters?), with a small number people who are interested in doing anything new or unusual. I also don't think it helps that a lot of (non-Japanese) fans of the series are the type of weeby people who thinks Japan makes all the best and weirdest art. I hope to reach people who don't think that way, help them discover each other, and maybe even see a new art scene bloom from it. This applies to more than just music but I guess that's how I'm going to introduce this idea lmao.


I also like video games, though the games I play tend to be on the short side. I like reading about them though, and watching videos too, whether they be let's plays or video essays. There are lots of interesting games out there! Feel free to check out my [https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/demobanker/ Steam wishlist] - consider them my personal recommendations. (Maybe I should get a Backloggd account for the other games I play)

=== Yearly Recommendations ===
A project that I started in 2021<ref>Well, technically 2020, but I was so occupied with writing "grand statement" type of reviews, despite not having much music writing practice at all, that I didn't have anything ready when the year finished.</ref> where I write about Touhou music albums or EPs that I liked or found interesting each year. This is partly so <s>people can suffer my terrible music opinions</s> I have better place to put them than the comment sections, but also to improve my music writing skills. I hope you get some enjoyment out of these.

Read the introduction to the 2021 and 2022 lists for more info.

2024 update: Calling them listening logs was dumb because they were about recommending good stuff, when actual listening logs would include everything I listened to, no matter what I thought about them. Oh well.

=== Focused Listening Diaries ===
More casual lists where I dig into a specific topic, without a self-restriction to focus on the positives like in my yearly recommendation lists. Focusing on the positives is good for discovering things, and I want to help people discover and celebrate good music, but I think having some disagreeableness will make my opinions more believeable and show what I value in music beyond genre categories.

The thing about listening diaries, though, is that the writing tend to be more about quantity than quality. In exchange for more music coverage, you get less useful info from the writing, with lots of one-liners or jokes. I'll try to avoid this.

=== Lists on TouhouDB ===
Yeah I have an account on the other site. I'm not contributing there but I do like the ability to look up non-album songs.

 Touhou music with an emphasis on percussion or a sense of rhythm that tickles my fancy. Also doubles as an idea list for technical rhythm game charting.

== Need to contact me offsite? ==
Please DM me on Discord for wiki matters (e.g. you found a mistake on a page about your work). Same username. I don't use my Twitter account (it's there just to take space). Outside of that, I don't have any accounts on the big social media sites, and I don't check my Steam/osu/Baidu PMs often.

Do note that I dislike chatting over DMs, so it would be nice if you aren't contacting me just to have someone to talk to in the fandom. But if you like metal (especially the prog and extreme side of the genre), feel free to give me a shout in the [[Holmgang Ov Gensokyo]] server.

2023 Update: I've decided to get a [https://retrospring.net/@Demobanker Retrospring account] if you wanna ask me questions and get a public answer. Dunno if I should have made a Curiouscat account instead but whatever lol

== Trivia ==
As of November 1st 2021, [[東方夢旧市 ～ Glory of Deep Skies./设定与剧情/雾雨魔理沙]] is the only page on the wiki with the phrase "among us".

 Heard joke once: Woman goes to doctor. Says she's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says she feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Go read Touhou yuri. That should pick you up.' Woman bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Touhou.'
