The writer observed children waving penlights alongside veteran fans, suggesting Touhou is becoming a common language across generations.
The parent-child tickets, called family seats, were gone by the time the event opened. From the back of the venue, the writer watched children raising arms and waving penlights with the confidence of seasoned live-goers. The audience mixed young players of the smartphone game Touhou LostWord with longtime core fans, and the writer credited Yukkuri videos on YouTube as a likely entry point for younger fans.
Kishida Kyoudan & THE Akeboshi Rockets opened with Scarlet Dance, then played Tsuki to Izayoi from the Touhou LostWord MV project. A-One brought Eurobeat arrangements with vocalists Rute and Aki, and fans spun towels during Scream Out!. Alstroemeria Records featured nomico, Mei Ayakura, and misato, with Bad Apple!! feat. nomico drawing a strong reaction from both longtime listeners and newer fans.
