これはREIさんに派遣した繪です。
STGの自機である霊夢はいつでも空を飛べます。
テーマは「煙草と阿片は吸いすぎに注意」
身に覚えのある方は、今すぐにやめるよう(ぉ
とにかく、色鮮やかに仕上げたかったんで・・・

Characters:

This is a picture of "Rei" off on a trip.
She's always flying in the video games.
The theme is "Be careful of smoking too much tobacco or opium."
If you've ever done it before, you should stop now.
Anyway, I wanted to use bright colors for this...

いわゆる霊夢繪。
これは、いろいろな理由で生まれた繪です(謎)
手に持っているのがなんなのか分からないと思いますがあれは「妖精の瓶詰め」を描こうとしてやめました。
何故、そんなモノを持たせようとしたかというと(略)

それにしても、この服は巫女でも何でもなく中華な服のようだね。でも巫女。

Characters:

I suppose this would be a picture of Reimu.
I drew this picture for all sorts of reasons. (It is a mystery)
Since I doubt anyone knows what she's holding, I was trying to draw a fairy in a bottle but then I changed my mind.
Because if you hold one when you lose all your life, (you know the rest).

Nevertheless, that's not really a shrine maiden's outfit, it's more Chinese-style. But she's still a shrine maiden.

さくっと描いてみました。霧雨魔理沙です。
淡い色に仕上がっているのは、簡単に出来るから
手書き風のあぢを出してみたかったからです。
下の物体は、蓮の花(Lotus Flower)です

それにしてもおとなしそうだね。性格はあんななのに(笑)

Characters:

Just a quick drawing. It's Marisa Kirisame.
I used light tones to make it easier
to give it a more sketchy feel.
The object at the bottom is a lotus flower.

But in any case, she looks rather grown-up. Despite her character. (lol)

さくっと年賀状です。魔理沙です。
妙な雰囲気の年賀。秋霜玉完売記念で東洋魔法使い。
関係ないですが。
今回は21世紀ってことで、ちょっと大人の雰囲気を
出したかったので、口紅がおとな
神社でも何でも無いあたりが、それっぽいです。

Characters:

My New Year's card, right on schedule. It's Marisa.
Kind of a strange ambiance for a New Year's card. It's an oriental-style magician to celebrate Shuusou Gyoku selling out.
But I guess it has nothing to do with that.
For the 21st century, I wanted a bit of
a mature feel, hence the lipstick and
nothing like a shrine or whatever in the picture. Something like that.

久々に巫女さん。なぜか春(^^;
とにもかくにもファンタジーが好き。
手書きっぽく描くのもなかなか難しい(当然)
水上でずっとあんなだったら、足が疲れちゃうよね。

ともかく、巫女らしいこと一つもしてない霊夢(笑)

Characters:

The first shrine maiden in a while, but why spring? (^^;
But regardless, I like fantasy.
It's pretty hard to draw a picture that looks like a sketch. (Of course)
If you sit like that over the water for too long, your feet will get tired.

Anyway, this is a completely un-shrine maiden-like Reimu. (lol)

ちょっと時代風に描いてみました。

う〜ん、まだ原色の残りが、頑張ってもっと色を重ねるべきか・・
って、イラストにはまっている(^^;;

Characters:

  • ???

I was thinking about making a new character and
turned out this mysterious blonde shrine maiden.
She looks like Marisa cosplaying as one. (lol)
It's done in a more classical style.

"Hmm, there are still a lot of primary colors, so I should try to layer them some more..."
I seemed to fall into this mindset while drawing this. (^^;;

もしくは、修行している巫女さんのようななにか。
う〜ん。いいかげんに絵を書き始める。とにかくアニメ塗りが
ややいやなので手描き風で

Characters:

  • ???
This time I drew a shrine maiden in the middle of training.

Even though mountains are usually off-limits to females.
So she's training to ease the desire to go there as a last resort.
Or just training in general, like a shrine maiden does.
Hmmm, I'm starting to draw more properly. But anyway, I don't really like
doing anime-style coloring so I used a more hand-drawn method.

Characters:

I was determined to draw a mature-looking shrine maiden this time but I gave up.
It turned out a little dark.
While I was drawing it, I heard someone whisper...
"Is that a shrine maiden?"
That's a very good question (lol), and I nodded in response to this hallucination. (^^;;

でも、幼女が少女になっただけともいう(爆)
ただ、看板娘にするんで、はっとするような、ドキッとするような繪に
したくて、鮮やかな色と、微妙な表情を目指してみました。
でも、意味のない繪だね(^^;

Characters:

  • ???

I wanted to draw a "poster shrine maiden."
My original concept was to truly draw a sultry, adult-looking shrine maiden for once.
No, really. (^^;
But it turned out to be a young girl. (lol)
It's just that since I was drawing a poster girl, I wanted something that would grab and entice
with vivid colors and a subtle expression on the girl.
But I guess it's a pointless picture. (^^;

メイドさんを描いてみました。なんでって、色々(ぉ
どうも、メイドと言うと暗い室内で監禁されてるイメージがある(いや、嘘じゃないけどさ)
そういう場所でも割と自由にやってる雰囲気を出したかったのですが。
うーん、暗い繪だ(^^;
時代もいつ頃だか不明なあたりも私らしい。
それにしても、このメイドちゃんと仕事してるのだろうか(ヒント、してない)

Characters:

  • ???

I drew a maid. Why? Because.
I had an image of a maid calling "Hello." from within the confines of a darkened room. (No, I'm not kidding.)
Despite that, the atmosphere seems comparatively liberated.
Yes, a dark picture. (^^;
The fact that you cannot even tell in what time period this is supposed to be is like me.
But anyway, I wonder if this maid is doing her job. (Hint: She isn't.)

This is just a sketch.
I had nothing in mind, just wanted to draw something a little different,
but for some reason, it brought bad luck. Ever since I finished this, my hands and legs have felt numb.
By the way, Reimu is easy to draw. All you need is red and white, really.

 始めまして、かどうかはこの本を手に取った人に対しては微妙ですがZUNです。

絵も漫画も描かない私ですが、今回この様にスペース戴き有難うございます。
 一応説明しておくと、私は東方の最も熱烈なファンの一人なのです:-P

 さて東方、楽しんで頂けてるみたいで嬉しい限りです。
 STGと言うゲームの性質上、かなり圧縮された内容になってしまっているのですが、
良く復元出来るものだなぁと思いながら見させて頂いてます。>二次創作作者様
 その豊かな想像力は私の予想を超えてます。もう創作物を受け入れるだけは時代遅れ
なのも知れませんね。
 遺物を見てあらゆる事柄を想像するのが知的歴史ゲームだとすれば、ゲームの二次創
作は想像力豊かな方が参加出来る知的創作ゲームって事になるのでしょう。さらにその
作品には創作者がどういう価値観を持っているかが表れている様で、これを想像する事
が私の三次ゲームとなっています。
 ゲームを創る事を楽しんで、それをユーザー様にゲームと創作の二度も楽しんで貰っ
て、さらに私が三次ゲームで楽しめるなんて、想像を超えた素敵な事じゃないですか。
  人間(じんかん)至る所にゲームあり、ですね。
 もっともっと今までに無く不思議で素敵なシューティングゲームになる様、私も祈っ
ています。御利益の少なそうな神社で。なのでお賽銭は入れませんが・・・


そして魂魄妖夢。
普通、幽霊って温かいんですかねぇ。
人魂はドライアイス並に冷たかったのですが・・・
普通、幽霊って重たいんですかねぇ。

This might be strange to say to people who receive this book, nice to meet you, this is ZUN.
Although I can't draw pictures or manga, I would still like to use this space to thank you.
 To introduce myself, I am Touhou's #1 most passionate fan. :-P

 Now, about Touhou. It would seem that it has been enjoyed, which makes me extremely happy.
 When I saw and received all these works, I thought that while it may not have the nature of
a STG game, or while it may have the substance of the game compressed, that they're all still
excellent works. > To the makers of the derivative works
 That abundance of imagination far exceeded my expectations. Perhaps it's old-fashioned to
just receive them.
 Just as historical relics evokes thoughts on all sorts of affairs and circumstances when
looking at them, becoming an intellectual history game, derivative works require exercising
plenty of imagination, becoming an intellectual creation game. And trying to imagine the values
that these derivative works creators hold and manifest in their works, makes it a
second-derivative game for me.
 Games were created to be enjoyed, so with users receiving and enjoying these works and games,
and myself enjoying my second-derivative game, isn't exceeding the powers of imagination such a
wonderful thing?
  Wherever there is man, there are games, huh.
 I shall also pray for more and more, even stranger and more wonderful shooting games to be
created. At this shrine which seems to be lacking in God's grace. By the way, would you like to
donate?... --- So, Konpaku Youmu.
Normally, ghosts are warm, huh.
This disembodied soul was as cold as dry ice...
Normally, ghosts are heavy, huh.
Perhaps Youmu's weight is inclusive of her ghost. --- ZUN

魔理沙

Today's finally the fourth day.

She's always saying that it's one day too early, that's so untrue.
Normally the day you request the work is the first day, no? The day after would be the second
day.

And today's already the third time she's reading books at night, so it's the fourth day.
 ---Wonder if she's gonna say I'm a day too early, again.
--- No need for formalities anymore, ZUN here.
Thank you truly for always receiving and playing Touhou.
When this book comes out, Imperishable Night should be released as well, so that'll be a
relief. (I hope)
It's just a normal danmaku shooting game without much of a story, so I didn't really think
about trying to generate derivative works from others.
But seeing people who finish playing, think that it was made well, then as the games increase,
others play through and receive the desire to create derivative works or other normal works,
then derivative works based off these derivative works are made, and all these works that were
given life and linked to my original desire to create works, I believe it's a minor miracle,
which everyone helped make.
It's often said that games are a bad influence and lead to juvenile crime. This is pretty
obvious, isn't it. It's obvious that games do influence people. But naturally, the influence
that games have isn't only bad. A game that's a good influence to people who play it, is truly
a good product.
If you take away the (bad) influence from games, then logically it would become all about
profits, and therefore games will be made with only wanting to sell it in mind...
Touhou? Ahh, it's a game series with a considerably bad influence.

今年はその六十年目

Every 60 years,
Gensokyo undergoes rebirth. ---  Touhou has gotten so large, and all it's forms of make-believe have been enjoyed.
Thanks to everyone, it's been a very fulfilling year. Thank you very much.
 There's an inexcusably large amount of products that fundamentally do not think
about the user, but I'd like to think that this is unrelated as to whether the
product is a doujin or commercial one.
 If it wasn't, and the commercial side doesn't change, a dislike for the commercial
side would fester, but that would be a burden carried by both sides. And some might
think of trying to cultivate a discerning eye as to which is which. Thinking like that
wouldn't make life very fun, would it?
 Well then, best regards for next time as well. --- ZUN

To those who drew Reimu Hakurei, you are now the most fortunate.
No matter what kind of bullets are coming at you, you'll dodge them all with ease.
There is no reason to be scared when running into them.
If anything, it's the bullets, not you, that should be doing the dodging, supposedly.
Don't get too ahead of yourself, though; fortune, especially monetary, is earned by working hard.
This isn't really an issue for the luckiest shrine maiden of them all, however.

(Well, fortune is to be earned, not given)
Fortune
Good Luck
To those who drew Sakuya Izayoi, you have the power to draw fortune to yourself.
With your efforts, there is no doubt that this fortune will reward you for whatever you have your invested yourself into.
However, this fortune can go south the instant you stop working hard.
This is a good time to feel fulfilled about your life.
It's time to put life in your own hands now.
Fortunately, you have all the time in the world to make that happen.

Small Luck

Small fortune omikuji

Name: 上海アリス幻樂団おみくじ (小吉) In image text:


(やったね!) (明日は休みだわ!)
小吉
A Little Luck
魂魄妖夢を引いた貴方には、これから小さな幸せが訪れるでしょう。
派手な変化などなくとも、日常の中にちょっとした幸運に恵まれると思います。
例えば、急に明日が休みになるとか…。 しかし、幸運は長くは続きません。
貴方のどうにもならない力によって、
小さな幸運は奪われてしまうこともあります、
例えば、急に庭掃除の仕事が入るとか…

Comment In image text translated:


(Yaaaay!) (No work tomorrow!)
Small Fortune
A Little Luck
To those who have drawn Youmu Konpaku, you will soon find a small piece of happiness.
Nothing's gonna change dramatically, but I think you will find yourself favored by fortune in more trivial ways.
For instance; you'll suddenly get one day off from work tomorrow, etc.
However, this small luck won't be with you forever.
There will be cases where your fortune is taken away by inevitable events.
For example, someone will suddenly want you to clean up the yard...


Character:


Uncertain Luck

Ending fortune omikuji

Name: 上海アリス幻樂団おみくじ (末吉) In image text:


(まぁ未来は明るいぜ!)
末吉
Uncertain Luck
霧雨魔理沙を引いた貴方は、暫く苦労するかも知れません。
中々、幸運らしい幸運は訪れないかも知れませんが、
実は貴方の周りには幸運が転がっています。
中々貴方がそれを掴めないのは、欲が強すぎるからかも知れません。
ただ、身内に常に幸運が転がっています。
長くみれば、未来は明るいでしょう。

(Well, the future's bright, at least!)
Ending Fortune
Uncertain Luck
To those who have drawn Marisa Kirisame, your life may become a bit rough for a while.
This fortune, which you could, at least, call a fortune, may not visit you any time soon,
but the real fortune is probably within you somewhere.
The reason why it never comes to you, is probably that you’re trying too hard to get it.
Remember; fortune is always within those who are close to you.
So, in the long run, your future will certainly be bright.


Character:


Miserable

Great curse omikuji

Name: 上海アリス幻樂団おみくじ (大凶) In image text:


(お前はラッキーだ!)
大凶
Miserable
依神女苑を引いた貴方は……、
ご愁傷様です。
疫病神に取り憑かれた貴方は、無駄に浪費してしまうでしょう。
即売会で散財し、スマホのアプリで重課金してしまうかも知れません。
それも全て疫病神の所為です。受け入れましょう、現実を。
強く生きればきっと良いことあるよ!

Comment In image text translated:


(YOU’RE lucky!)
Great Curse
Miserable
To those who have drawn Joon Yorigami...
...please, accept my dear condolences.
As you’re possessed by the god of pestilence, your wealth will be gone in a flash,
such as wasting money at conventions, buying too many microtransactions in mobile games, and so on.
This is what the pestilence god has brought upon you. Accept it and move on.
Stay strong, and one day, good luck may be knocking on your door!

縁がありまして、鎌倉の鶴岡八幡宮のぼんぼり祭に奉納させて頂きました。

8月6日から4日間ぼんぼりに点燈されていると思います。
結婚式を十年前に鶴岡八幡宮で行いましたし、やっと御恩をお返した気分です。
