A message from Toby Fox 【Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost】

On August 7th there was an announcement that Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost will have a collaboration song between Toby Fox & Zun as a free DLC.
Here is a message from Toby Fox himself regarding the song.

[@ShayyTV]

He has fully embraced the TOUHOU PRAWJECT joke and I am here for it

[@kirby47897]

bro how has no one even noticed that ur here

[@sticktheok]

Holy shit is that Shayy from the hit game Undertaler

[@luniredeyes]

holy shit shay deltatraveler???

Toby Fox embracing him saying the sudden perfect English "Touhou Project" is so hilarious

[@IEatSignificantAmountsOfAss]

*BROSKI WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE*

[@alejjtheninja5803]

"Perfect English"

[@crism8868]

Touhou porojekuto said with a thick English accent 👌

[@existenceispain_geekthesiren]

and then he goes "towhow dayn mahkewkahkurra" for touhou danmaku kagura. like WOW that american came through loud and clear

[@arpherdrol]

The sudden switch to perfect English accent in a Japanese sentence lmao

[@kuskus_th13]

I love how he even said "Danmaku Kagura" in his American accent despitr that not even being English

[@chaosomega623]

ZUNさんの『東方 PROJECT 』とか。

[@atwistedb]

Project.

[@homiwoneo]

I am Japanese. I very much agree though. Toby is verlingual...

[@logandunlap9156]

what’s he gonna do as a non-native japanese speaker? say the words with a faux japanese accent?

[@MyrmidonRadd]

And then Ran actually was playable in the next Touhou game. Absolutely incredible.

[@ShorkBoi]

Lmao

[@BrayPlaysNin10do]

And as one of the four main (light blue background) characters

[@indatsukasa]

02:06 The fact that Toby's danmaku here is Ran Yakumo's Normal danmaku in PCB conveys to us that he is quite fond of her.

[@NamekuBushi]

You can even see it within Toriel.

[@Ale_CD7]

You are right... He's definitely a Ran enjoyer

i think it's so funny how toby saw people memeing him going "touhou PROJECT" and then decided to go FULL ON with the joke absolute peak toby behavior

[@gjk-arts5855]

AMAZING

[@scrung]

he was a big fan of the touhou project before he made undertale, so i think it's awesome that he gets to collaborate with a game developer and musician he looked up to

[@maglev957]

Toby's ability to just absolutely roll with whatever the internet tosses his way is impeccable

[@jythmivena6617]

"Battle against a true hero is an inspiration from touhou" *Hearing the Zunpets* Y e a a a a a a

[@TheAdvertisement]

Imagine being so inspired by a guy's work, that you base half the entire combat system of your game on his games, use his famous "zunpet" in your music and just genuinely have a lot of your music inspired by him too... And then one day, you reach so high, that that amazing man himself is on your level, happily remixing your own music while you remix his and working together with you. That'd be a dream come true. Also can we talk about that song in the background, it's like a serious piano remix of Dogsong and it works so well.

[@MagicalFishing]

Toby got to play smash with Sakurai, talk about Mother with Itoi, and now make a song with ZUN. man is living the fucking dream

[@TheAdvertisement]

@@MagicalFishing Not to mention he pulled the creator of Yume Nikki out of his hole somehow for an interview

Ran Yakumo is Toby Fox’s favorite character. Ran Yakumo is a Kitsune. Kitsune’s are nine-tailed foxes Foxes Fox. Toby *Fox.*

[@Kewamane]

Well his full name is Robert F. Fox

[@HyperVanilo]

​@@Kewamane It's confirmed he is Ran's son

[@Kourindouinc]

And that's why both Tsukasa and Ran got to be playable in Touhou 19

[@mimszanadunstedt441]

Kitsune.. Hm I guess cherrypicking a sliver of a memory out is logically improper. Strange things tho. Yeah Im probably crazy. First i heard of a kitsune i was in a particular chatroom. Around when i heard about Ghibli stuff. If memory serves. I was doing some roleplay back then. Hmmm.. Oh well i should pursue my past's heart not my past's atrophy or scars.

[@OctoYT]

I love how Toby embraced the Touhou Project meme here it's beautiful

[@mottosei]

U.N. OWEN WAS HERO?とか言うめっちゃ興奮するタイトルなのがZUNさんもTobyさんも本当に優れたクリエイターなんだな、と心深から思った。

[@Koik1]

I love when he switches to his American accent when he says TOUHOU PROJECT

[@osc-omb47896]

And Danmaku Kagura near the start

[@SlashJaye]

We all know this entire thing happened because of Toby's pronounciation of the word "Project" last time this was done.

[@somedouchemcbag987]

This man here is living the dream First, he made one of the most popular indie games. Then. he met Sakurai and played smash with him in his house. Then, he does a collab with ZUN. All those days of being trapped in Andrew Hussie`s basement finally payed off.

[@reimuthemiko5871]

he also got ZUN to make Ran a protagonist of touhou 19

I’m very excited I loved the Touhou improvs that Toby Fox did a while back. Thanks Tofu Box!

[@proximaeon]

I did know that Toby is a Touhou fan, not that his favorite character is Ran.

[@ssjcrafter8842]

I'm pretty sure his favorite character is Yukari, but the game releasing soon has an animal theme, so Ran fits more. that, or his favorite character changed or maybe I misremembered because he played Necrofantasia and not necro-fantasy

[@khalilbarkallah9998]

​@@ssjcrafter8842before that interview, he said Ran is his favourite So I think they're both his favourite

[@ssjcrafter8842]

@@khalilbarkallah9998 what a coincidence I just decided to fact check myself... his favorite character is Yukari, but before that it was Ran, simply because "she's cute". so while not the favorite, you can easily guess she's up there among the favorite characters.

[@asgeer5351]

He said in an interview before that PCB was his favorite game from the franchise, he loves Ran and his prefered character is Yukari, he apparently made an arrangement of Necrofantasia at the time

[@ssjcrafter8842]

[@randy_hato]

My favorite part is he has a good japanese accent its just that he switches to his perfect english accent so randomly in the middle of his good japanese accent, that it makes it 100 times funnier than him having a Bad accent in japanese or just a good accent in japanese

[@0retro0]

1:57 the return of Touhou Project

And then Ran was actually one of the four characters that counts as main characters in TH19... holy shit.

@@cattokomo Yup!! Already beat the game on normal as her. Given the timeframe I doubt Toby really had anything to do with it through.

The strain in his voice when begging for Ran to be a main character... Yeah, I felt that. Who wouldn't wanna clap that Thiccsune?
