Today's broadcast has ended. The most important thing ZUN said is probably this:
"I plan to burn Reitaisai's master disc on the day of Super Conference. If it fails, it's all your conference's fault."While this was said in jest, the message is clear: something new will be released on Reitaisai 11 (May 11).
- The broadcast started with Ban (NicoNico's director for anime/manga/etc-related business), ZUN and another man at a table in a bar of Baird Beer's (the brewery where ZUNBeer is brewed). While I don't know who's the third person, he should be someone in charge of Reitaisai.
- During last year's conference, ZUN sold 7017 cups of beer, weighing about 2 tonnes.
- There will be a score attack contest for DDC at Super Conference 3.
- ZUN: (Reitaisai) is already entering the 11th year. That feels so stupid.
- Two guys suddenly show up behind them with a copy of DDC for ZUN to sign. This will be the prize for the score attack contest.
- Hiroyuki (founder of 2ch) has finally arrived.
- Then came an unexpected guest,
Kishida Mel, the artist known for his work on the Alchemists of Arland games, and recently, cosplay shenegians. This is the first time he met ZUN.
- Kishida: While I've never drawn art [for Touhou], I've always been playing the games.
ZUN: Thank you for playing such kuso games.
(Left to right: Ban, ZUN, Kishida, Hiroyuki)- Ban: The (NicoNico) comments are talking about the new work of Touhou. Is it game or music?
ZUN: ...
Ban: ZUN-san, are you really making a new work?
ZUN: ... It's still really rough. Let's not talk about it now.
The FS manga has been selling fairly well. Vol.1 has sold either 100 or 200 thousand copies, depending on the source. While FS Vol.2 is not yet released, Kadokawa has already announced... a very special edition of Vol.3.

However, the limited edition is for preorder only, and will be manufactured strictly according to the number of preorders.
