Welcome friends, to the day that will change your lives. This day comes once every millennium in the form of a cold chill that runs through your spines when you realize...

+ Show Spoiler [Day of ⑨] +

Yes that day is finally upon us. We have been waiting for this day since the beginning of time (aka 7 years).

+ Show Spoiler [Cirno] +

However, admist the praise and glorification for Cirno thus far, there is yet another individual that I would like to acknowledge. His name is Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Cojuangco Aquino III. Why is he so significant? Just today, (09/09/09 in the Philippines), he announced his candidacy for the presidency. Thus all Cirno fans world wide must extend our best wishes to him, as he is undoubtedly the strongest of all the candidates.

+ Show Spoiler [Praise be to Noynoy!] +

But, you may ask, how did Cirno achieve this feat? Why is today HER day? The answer of course lies within the game Phantasmagoria of Flower View. Here is a picture from the manual:

+ Show Spoiler [Manual Image] +

Now if you cannot read Japanese, that is fine, but take note of number 9. The two characters there are バカ or in romanization, "baka". In Japanese, this means fool. Thus began her immortality. Her line, "I am the strongest!", also comes from the same game.

Although some may try to slander our Savior and Queen, they are severely mistaken, and will soon come to know her wrath and fury. As "evidence", they have provided this clip of her most dangerous spell card, Icicle Fall -Easy-.

Obviously these videos do not demonstrate her true power. Allow me to show you her true fury.

+ Show Spoiler [Cirno's true power] +

However, to show only her powerful side is such a mistake. We must also appreciate her softer, gentler side.

+ Show Spoiler [Long Comic] +

+ Show Spoiler [Explanation] +

Cirno goes on a walk with two inconsequential people, and while walking, she discovers that the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom. Therefore, this is an indication that spring is coming. If Spring comes, then her mother figure, Letty Whiterock, will disappear (She's the Goddess of Winter basically). Therefore, she wants to give her a cherry blossom in full bloom (which she normally can't see), so she severs a branch and brings it to two different people to try and get them to make the cherry blossom bloom. She succeeds on her second attempt and brings the branch to Letty, who embraces her right when she disappears.

Thus you can see the obviously gentler side of Cirno. We must also consider her fun loving side, which we have all come to adore.

+ Show Spoiler [For Comic Length] +

Thus, we must now appreciate Cirno in all her glory, for this is her day. How can you appreciate Cirno you might ask? Do anything Cirno, 9, or blue related. That is all that she commands. However, I do have some Cirno approved products (identified by the Cirn⑨ logo) for you to use on this glorious day.

+ Show Spoiler [Cirn⑨ Products] +

In addition, might I recommend that you all dress up as Cirno as these people have done.

+ Show Spoiler [No, this is not real life cosplay] +

Thus I leave you, hoping that you have seen the light and are willing to convert to the ⑨, else you know what will happen to you.

To celebrate, you can download the free demo of the relevant Touhou games from ZUN's (Touhou creator's) site. Demo contains the first 3 levels of the game, which is normally 6 levels + 1 or 2 bonus levels.

Touhou official website

Controls:
Arrow keys - move
Z - shoot (generally want to hold down all the time if you are new)
X - bomb (screen-clear, limited supply)
shift - focus (movement slows and shot becomes narrow)

----------
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Demo

English translation patch

Cirno's main game. You encounter her in Level 2.

----------
Perfect Cherry Blossom Demo

English translation patch

Cirno makes a cameo as the mid-boss of Level 1.

----------
Phantasmagoria of Flower View Demo
This game is meant to be a 2-player competitive shooter so it plays a lot differently than the others. Cirno is one of the playable characters. Demo lets you play vs AI.

The .lzh files can be unzipped with 7-zip or probably any other unzipping program.

I'd go look for my Advent Cirno stuff and post them, but I am too lazy. Besides, all she is really good for is comic relief.

That said, good job finding that Cirno dressing in th6 characters style pic, I think it just showed up on pixiv like earlier today :p

IOSYS sucks and always will suck.

InnocentKey also sucks.

The only good Touhou doujin groups are those that don't do stupid music videos.

Edit: By the way, props to El.Divino for being the ⑨th poster! Here are ⑨ pictures for you!

aww some of their songs are good!

border of death, pray, border of extacy (yes i think this song is awesome), some good ones in eternal sparrow peak

and from innocent key, years of cosmogony fantasy, welcome restless souls~the 3rd eye, grilledbird, jewelry magic instrumental (from that forbidden love album)

though i do like some other circles a lot better. tamusic, unlucky morpheus, yellow zebra, sync.art's, to name some. and dbu!

edit - but yeah, those songs sung in childish voices are kinda dumb

Damn there is actually touhou fans on tl? O_O

Iosys is okay. Some of their songs are good, others are horrible. You guys got any slow classical touhou pieces? I know that they are already kinda classical but i hate that 8bit midi sound

Slow classical touhou piece? That goes against the grain of touhou!

TAmusic is your best bet for Touhou Classical, or at that, anything Classical.

Southlight, think it'll stay there tomorrow too? I think it might (finally) slip off #1 tomorrow, maybe :p That artist is one of my favorite ones though.
