Reitaisai 5 Releases
It’s that time of year again— Reitaisai Season.
Seems everyone’s releasing something this year; it’s the first time Reitaisai is going to be at the Big Sight. A much larger venue than last year’s means an overwhelming increase in participation.
++GAMES++
First off, we have the two biggies:
Twilight Frontier has announced the release of Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. You can read more about the release announcement here.
Team Shanghai Alice has announced plans to release a demo of Touhou Chireiten~ Subterranean Animism, the 11th game in the Touhou canon. You can read more about this here.
Finally, on the doujin game front, the final version of Marisa & Alice (Mariari) will be released by Desunoya.
Read on to see what else we’ve learned.

Finally, a bit of sad news: Spiral Music will no longer be participating in Reitaisai 5. According to their blog, all data was lost or corrupted during a computer crash. The one track that was undamaged is available for free download on their site. They will, however, be participating in Comiket 74. We here at Gensokyo wish them the best of luck.
That is all we have for now. If you would like to be constantly updated, please feel free to check the forums.

IOSYS is doing some stuff with Locker Room Studios among a bunch of other known flash and music artists. It seems to be a collection of mini-games and music videos. http://mesopota.net

Yellow Zebra is releasing 2 albums: “Touhou Kensaika -Touch of Air-” continuing their usual stuff, and “Touhou Association” which seems to have new vocalists? (Didn’t heard it a lot though.) http://yellow-zebra.com/
That’s all I remember for now…
Typo above:
“Akatsuki Dou” should be “Asatsuki Dou”
> “any other genre you can possibly think of”
Afrobeat, trip hop, tango, baroque, raï, gamelan, minimalism, and more? Hooray!
Flowering Night 2008 DVD is being released too. Look forward to it. http://www.flowering-night.net/index.htm
CROW’S CLAW are releasing a new album called “Crossfire Barrage”. Hooray! http://cb.crowsclaw.info/

REDALiCE and DJ-Technetium are also doing a double release, “Fanatic Hardcore” red label and black label. http://redalice.hmc6.net/fanatic/
MyonMyon releasing “蓬莱姫譚”…a lot of rock arrangements coming this time now, which is awesome. http://hourai.myonmyon.com/
More rock with pizuya releasing “SYMMETRY BURZUM”. This circle was behind “Eternal Circle 9″ so if you heard it you should know what to expect. http://www.pizuya.com/psyc0002/SB.html
AZURE&SANDS big releases are “TOHO JAZZ 2008″ and “マサミカウトガリア” (Masamikautogaria?). Good news for jazz fans at least. http://bunbun-aya.ath.cx/~tainokobone/JAZZ2008/index.html

No news from RED-SIGHT?
RED-SIGHT commented that they don’t have anything new to release in this Reitaisai. Too bad.
Finally,it has been so long since Tako release something.
>>”Asatsuki Dou will be releasing a doujin entitled Happy End, about Koakuma and Patchouli”
I laughed way too loudly at this.
boo to the MoF bombs. I want unique bombs for each character!
I’ve got news on my blog as well (just check the website link for more info since SWR infos come in by the day)
Touhou Dai Udoukai is also present. Looks like a party fight game as Tenka Seiha says. Touhou Chinkara Hou!, a game that seems to be about shooting up Marisa’s skirt. What? Bloomer fanservice game? THIS IS GREAT! Lion Heart (of Touhou Rekkaden fame) is up with Mystical Chain: 体験版2, a 2-way 4-way royal rumble game, using a horizontal interface. And last for now is Weaving the Blue Orient, a horizontal shmup by ELField.
As for SWR, new playable characters are currently Sakuya, Youmu and Patchouli
Looks like a really good line up so far, looking forward to ~xi-on~, Tako and Hawian’s Store stuff… and of course SWR and TH11.
Countdown to Reitaisai…

I want “Personal Color” !! It looks good. .
What ? No Tohonifun doujin this time ? T_T
This doujin line up looks good very promising. I’m especially wanting to see Happy End.
I would like to mentioned also about Hot Dog Chuck’s Ride on Shooting Star will be out on R5 too. Meaning more eyebrow Yukari goodness.
