Touhou Chouhatsuyou (Long Hair Beautiful as a Jewel) ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity (東方長髪瑶 ~ Burgeoning Tresses of Longevity) is a fan-made Touhou Project game developed and published by Drillimation Systems in collaboration with Studio Emiko and E. Enthusiasm. Like Song of Divine Tempest, which released a year and a half prior, the graphics and sound are modeled after a Super Nintendo Entertainment System game.

Story

Main articles: Story and Characters

On a busy spring day, an experiment in Gensokyo causes a mysterious scent to spread all over Gensokyo. The scent makes every girl's hair grow to the height of their body. Unsatisfied by the effects, Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Aya Shameimaru, and Sanae Kochiya set out to find the origin of the scent, which appears to have started in Eientei (called the Palace of Eternity in this game).

Music

Main article: Music

Like Song of Divine Tempest, the soundtrack for this game was composed by "Prophet Driller" (under the name Susumu Takajima). The samples for the instruments originate from keyboards and synthesizers from the late 1980s and early 1990s and are compressed to fit within the Super Nintendo's audio hardware. Many songs in the game's soundtrack started off as PC-98 originals and a few were first composed for the albums Prelude of a Joyous Feast and Mystical Towngirl and Transcending Heron, both of which were also produced by Drillimation Systems.
