Who has that video where they play ran and yukari's theme at the same time and there's a picture of yukari as an octopus?

I hope the tengu are prepared for this propaganda war. Mamizou is incredibly powerful and smart so I don't like their chances but perhaps they'll surprise me.

Also, I am very disappointed in Mamizou for ruining Reimu's reputation with like the only person in town that actually has any respect for her at all. It's very rude.

I'm not so sure Kosuzu has any real respect for Reimu. She seems to mentally lump her in with "dumb adults who I can trick just by acting cute and polite". On the other hand, she also fantasized about Reimu's epic battle with the kappa and mentally blocked the idea that Reimu was as petty towards Sanae as she is, so I guess it's complicated.

Kosuzu is probably the only person in the village who would actively go to Reimu for help. Like in this chapter, it seems like Kosuzu asked for Reimu's advice regarding some ovious Tengu bias. And y'know that got to count for something. Sure, she'll also immediately suspect Reimu of working with a Menreiki in an evil plan and think her stupid for not solving the mystery of a fox at the school but she still seems to admire her in some odd ways.

Kosuzu is weird.

I thought it was less that she was a shut-in and more that she just never leaves Youkai Mountain. Though she is a journalist that values honesty and integrity so she would never get involved in this petty race war.

Mamizou is surprisingly bad at impersonation, given what a big-shot tanuki she's supposed to be.

Impersonating Reimu is probably really hard because there's the existential terror behind doing something that could lead to Reimu, so far two-time murderer, being angry with you.

I've wondered how far ZUN plans ahead with stuff. This was probably evident before but the answer seems to be "not at all".

I imagine he has a rough outline in his head but when it comes down to details beyond "Reimu and Marisa beat up bosses based on X concept" he probably doesn't consider them until maybe a game prior. Like, he certainly wasn't going to have Sanae heading into the underground, but when it came to the Palanquin Ship and the Mausoleum, he went "sure, why not?"

Do this interviews typically happen every time he releases a new game, or was this a one time thing?

Most of the recent ones have had an interview like that, yeah, although the format varies, as does whether or not a translation exists. There's a video one for UFO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otIrJdoaITI, for example.

I'm pretty sure ZUN said somewhere that he'd originally thought about creating an original third playable character for UFO, but he just went with Sanae in the end.

They're pretty regular occurrences, yes. There are print interviews on the wiki for two of his more recent games but they haven't been translated yet. I'll probably get to those next.

Starting with House Set of ULiL was a bad idea, because it made Stages 1-3 of LoLK really bland in comparison.

Overall the first three stages were sort of meh, but things picked up for 4-6. Extra was a huge disappointment though.

ZUN, Strange Creators of Outer World interview, translated on the Touhou Wiki posted:

Well, I think it's well spread. This is such a feel. When you dig into the same location, it becomes deep instead of spread, but I don't need so much. Like, we don't do that to the story base, in the Touhou manner it becomes more interesting, I think it isn't so. Speaking of this time and nothing else, I feel like I dug up and spread a few portions of "Imperishable Night" and "Bogetsushou". Maybe there has been a lot of that recently. We are digging up a small portion of something from a long time ago and expanding it.
