Omg so there's this really awesome pianist called Tomoya. From google translate it looks like piano is only his hobby, not his main job. But yet he is so good and makes so much stuff xD
Anyways I've shared some of his songs here before and so have others but I didn't know it was the same person. I checked his website and apparently HE GIVES AWAY ALL HIS SHEET MUSIC FOR FREE HOLY SHIT! He even gives mp3s of most of his songs, though he sells his albums too.
Here's an interesting arrange. It's a mix of beethoven songs (most recognizably fur elise) with touhou songs mixed in (septete, young descendent of tepes, maybe 1 or 2 more i didn't recognize). It's not great but it's interesting xD
Hi I am back from Saturday. Very tiring day, thanks to 10 hour shift.. I wanna sleep :>
I don't wanna just tease everyone by talking about the cosplayers, but I just have to vent It seems I missed a (female) Youmu cosplayer today 3 different cosplayers told us about the youmu cosplayer, but she never showed up. Late in the day, we told those same 3 cosplayers about the lack of show and they all told us they'd tell the Youmu cosplayer to visit us in the vendor's hall, but she never showed up. :<:<
Okay, done venting. I hope she makes an appearance for Sunday :>

haha good luck hunt her down!
Edit: Oh wait, you actually are working there?? nice
Uh btw what happened to Aeres? his icon has a lockdown, does that mean he got banned or something? can't find anything about him getting banned
I'm not the con staff, but a vendor. Though in reality, I'm just helping out my sister with side stuff, and she's the real vendor for her shop. She makes a semi-living selling doujinshis to the western audience :>
I don't wanna make this into an advertisement, but she does have a small section with touhou doujinshis, and very recently, game and music CDs as well. I don't think most people here are interested in doujinshis though, and we're still very much in the experimental stage with the CD stuff, hence why I haven't really talked about it If people are interested, I can talk about it more :>
I don't usually come with her to each con, but circumstances this time allowed me to come with and lend a hand. I usually do help her with the local ones though (the ones in Vancouver BC).
Anyway, yeah, the vendor's hall was open from 9 am to 7 pm, so a 10 hour shift. I did take an hour break (thanks to kinda crap amount of customers) to attend a panel that was basically an introductory course for convention photography. I'm basically a complete noob when it comes to camera handling, so after the panel, I realized I was taking very piss poor quality pictures. Unfortunately, I had basically already finished taking all my pictures on Saturday as well when I attended the panel, hence most of my pictures will be pretty much crap :> Oh well, beggars can't be choosers I say :D Besides, I can't be sure of the actual outcome until I upload them on a computer, lol.
If I catch any of the cosplayers for the final day, I'll try to have some fun with different poses :>
edit: just so I am clear, when I said doujinshis, the stuff my sister sells is perfectly SFW stuff, in case anybody has an issue with ero content in touhou. My sister is very much against it, so :>

I really need to go to a touhou convention... lol. Don't know what my parents would think of it though... kekekek a costume party i'll say, with lots of piano music xD.
Well i think since most people don't know how to take good pictures they won't be able to tell a difference :D Nice that they gave a convention for free?

Lol yea apparently Ares[Effort] banned him for some BM and bad posting in the last 2 days, and for thinking he (Aeres) is better than him (Ares) wtf? lol
apparently there's this MN-logic24 group which has a whole bunch of random arrangers that released something back in august. and its vocalz rocks. No engrish, though.

Two things, I don't think there are touhou-only conventions in the western hemisphere. Aki-con, and all the other cons my sister goes to are generic anime-conventions. Touhou ends up being a fairly small percentage of content. Basically, the only touhou stuff at this con were the cosplayers, and my sister's booth. None of the other boothes in the vendors hall or even the artist alley had any touhou materials.
These conventions are also never free. They either charge a weekend pass (usually like 60 bucks) or a single day bucks (which I guess is around 30-40). I get my badge along with my sister's table :> The vendor's tables of course also costs money to set up.
What you can do is if you find enough local anime-fans in your area interested in touhou, with cosplayers and photographers, you can hold your own photoshoots (which has the bonus of being free). This ends up more of a friends gathering than anything where people hang out, chatting and posing/taking photos. However, I don't really know if this kinda thing exists yet for touhou.

Haha yeah that's definitely Youmu, but yes just looking at the top (before scrolling down the page, only seeing her head) it looked like it may have been cirno
