Once, I chronicled the incidents in which Touhou gets into unrelated places on Twitter. It's still there, but I mirror the posts to here. Submissions open in BlueSky DMs or the Discord! Operated by @deltapie.bsky.social discord.gg/TMnxvXNZQV

Lovely, that's where the online listing was from too. Good to know, thanks!
Sorry for late response. What country is this in? An online version of this was sent to me a few years ago.
Next episode of the Touhou Hijack Field Club is out. I interview Chrysoberyl, instructor of CS99 - a Stanford University course that could be called the Perfect Math Class, ft. Cirno and Rumia! We talk about type theory, cosplay, Airmoto MADs, and more!

To learn more about the backstory behind this project, I traveled to Stanford to interview one of the instructors of the course! Check out the video here!

Cirno is used for tips from the mathematicians perspective, like how certain mathematics concepts are implemented in Lean, while Rumia is used for tips from the computer scientistβs perspective, like syntax help.

The Stanford University class CS99: Functional Programming and Theorem Proving in Lean 4, taught by Leni Aniva (@aniva.bsky.social), features Cirno and Rumia as teaching tooltips throughout the slides in the course about the proof assistant Lean.

Australians be aware - this exhibition is only open for a little while longer! Come find Marisa while you still can!
Thanks to @That_Paperbag for the photos.
Hello all! Sadly I must announce that I am temporarily putting the Touhou Hijack Archive on hiatus for the rest of the academic term. HOWEVER, I will still be monitoring submissions so please keep them coming! There will just be no new threads. Thank you for your understanding!
Journals with the hijack.
My copy of the hijack
You just don't stumble upon a stray hijack in a local supermarket everyday...in Europe! Got a copy of that immediately.

Happy New Year! Thanks to BADCATBAD for answering my questions. Itβs been fun hijacking with everyone and building this city of ours. Also, Australians, itβs your time to shine! The exhibition closes April 13, 2025, so go visit before it's too late! Please share clips/photos!
For Touhou fans, cosplay and hijacks are a way to patch discontent with the world of Gensokyo. And as seen here and with other examples Iβve covered, this has been quite successful. Like Cao Fei, Touhou fans have built their own ecosystems wherever they are around the world.
Cosplayers (2004) is also exhibited. In a 2008 interview, Cao Fei says that cosplayers βlet the characters replace themselves in their everyday lives and routines...[reflecting] the younger generationβs discontent with their actual roles in real life.β

The final production cuts between all the scenes filmed across Sydney with many different people. Marisa and the rest of the cosplayers pop up at various times.

The project had a casting call for cosplayers. BADCATBAD applied with a photo of her Marisa cosplay and was accepted. This costume was hand-made out of cotton, making it very easy to wear and dance in.

The Marisa cosplayer is Australian cosplayer BADCATBAD (www.instagram.com/badcatbad_/). She, along with cosplayers Spreekit as Seraphine (League of Legends) and taoruwu.cos as Ahri (League of Legends), were featured in the video, filmed at Million Life Sydney.

The Sydney edition (βChinatown Shuffleβ) was directly commissioned by the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The video features 60+ people of all ages dancing in more than 20 different Sydney locations opened up by local store owners and organizations.
