Suwawako vs. Touhoufest 2024

Touhoufest 2024 is the greatest event since Dashcon 2014.
It made us cry, explode, lose things; but also learn a little bit more about life and Touhou Project! Touhoufest is an event where Touhou fans from across the (western) world come together and smell each other's armpits and wig sweat in order to have a great time.
In this fantastic tale, Suwawako embarks on his greatest quest yet -- SURVIVE Touhoufest '24. Spills, chills, thrills: every single emotion you can feel? It's in this video. Trust me.

[@maskoc]

Alright so im the type person that never makes comments but this... this is pretty important to me. I want to thank you Suwawako for making me discover Touhoufest 2024. Your video on Touhoufest 2023 had me in tears and made me want to go there. I somehow managed to convensed my parents to go there and it was the first time in my life that I left my country. These two days that I spent there were some of the best days I had in my life. It was the first time that I was participating in a real event of my favorite franchise. It was fun talking and doing stuff with others. I originally wanted to tell you this in person while we were there but I was too shy so instead I leave the message in this comment. Sadly I wasn't able to get the full experience because my parents grew tired and left before the end of the event. So thank you Suwawako and long live Touhou

Yahallo! I’m the Sanae at 37:02 ! I’m glad you had a great time at Touhoufest 2024 because it sure was immensely fun! You summoning me to the artist alley and even meeting you was one of my craziest highlights that made my day there! At least now I can say that Kanako made me cry at Touhoufest too, such a sweet guy! Never stop inspiring more people and wishing to see you again at either 2025 or AX! 🧡

[@burgballs5780]

29:45 "subscribe to suwawako" there i am..... I was also one of the shou cosplayers on day 1 i didn't make it into shot but i handed the parsee cosplayer the ring to propose. I love this convention. 2024 was my first year. I met so many friends that i met online, met so many new people, and made so many great memories. I will never forget this weekend and Idk how they'll do it but I'm sure it'll be even better next year! Thanks everyone!

[@Photasmatic]

TouhouFest was hype as hell, I'm glad I was able to attend this year!

I had fun over there. Got some good loot and stuff over at my First TouhouFest. Was a bit nervous about meeting new people Hopefully I can find a job in California after the Navy to have to stay and go to Touhoufest 2025. (Mostly Federal Park Ranger) BTW I was the "that Soldier is Cirno?" It was an honor sharing my TF2 story with you. So the Chen Grill Master was a thing. Never knew the guy outside grilling was legit. I will see you at Anime Expo bud. #FixTF2 #SaveTF2

[@spyrogall]

06:03 Yooooo I didn't even go but somehow got into the video 😭💖 Hopefully I can come to Touhou fest one day!! I'm doing my first international con (Dokomi) outside of the UK this year so maybe soon!! Gotta meet the Touhou fam

[@shayokonpaku]

This is easily the TouhouFest of all time. It's sad that Mr.E didn't experience the fun that everyone had in this event, but hopefully he's happy that we got together to make a great community. Even though i didn't know him, he's a good guy in both Touhou and Fumo Community Thank you Mr.E and hope you had fun in there, Suwawako!

[@MysticalLala]

Uh he was there this year. (If youre talking about the accident that happened, that was in the end of May) .And he did have have a good time at Touhoufest. He just didnt outwardly show it too much.

[@riotshield2053]

Thank you for making another video this year. I didn't want to interrupt your video taking as I saw that you were busy walking all around the convention. Since I shared my prior experiences in the other video I thought I should share this year's here. TouhouFest 2024 The line to enter this year was faster and more organized. The organization could be said the same about the tournaments. There were still technical problems and delays but there were much less than last year. Unfortunately they didn't hold a PoFV tournament (my favorite game as well), but I signed up for the UDoALG one. We played it using a balance patch made by SuperChrim which nerfs and buffs characters with Chiyari receiving the largest nerfs. It was a fun tournament and I was lucky enough to place 4th out of 29 participants, but because of scheduling and delays I ended up missing most of TAM's concert when we played again on Sunday. The top three were players dedicated to the game that knew the full ins and outs as they are part of a Touhou 19 Discord Server. SuperChrim himself flew in to partake and I had a fun match with him. He said that he is hoping this tournament will help bring attention to the game and he hopes more people will be interested in joining the server. Even though I missed out on TAM's performance I did attend the Eurobeat concert. Eurobeat isn't something that I care about but I thought I would give it a shot. People were having fun in there jumping up and down and swinging there glowsticks. But with people that packed together and not much ventilation it did come with a bad smell. One thing that was impressive this year was the cosplay community. For a 2 day event I saw a total of 99 different Touhou characters. Since most of my interests of TouhouFest are in the gaming hall I know there are characters that I didn't count which means there were easily over a 100 different characters at the event. Here's hoping TouhouFest 2025 goes just as well.

[@CoasterCrest]

13:44 This made me feel empathy on a level I didn't even know was possible, having lost my own wallet while I was taking a walk with my Sanae Fumo. I unfortunately didn't find it, but I did the usual things such as replacing my cards an what not, so I just gotta keep moving.

He made a bunch of little doodles for a lot of us they're so cute!!! Anyway, now that I've been an easygoing egoist for a bit, this is a wonderful recap of what was one of the best moments of my life. Touhoufest really did feel like a community coming together and it has a... well lack of a better word, festival type vibe to it. It's funny seeing something so near and dear to my own heart in a different lens, even though we went to the same place, we had slightly different exprenices, haha both equally as insane. You got that super lucky remi prise and only fate knows how I managed to doot on stage with TAM... despite never played a bugle before. Honestly I'm still in shock at that. I also had a panic where I thought I had lost money... thankfully I didn't but I did also manage to spend way too much so there's that. dw, I cried too. But wait, I'm british too!!! Am I not british enough for you, funny frogge man?
