Title: A Portal to Nico Nico Douga
Post by: tohosubs on November 18, 2013, 07:21:47 PM
Expanded, reorganized, and moved to the /r/touhou wiki (http://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/wiki/nico/index) for ease of organization.

I actually use Pixiv Translation Plus (Greasemonkey script) to navigate myself trough Nicodouga. Before the update the most recent site update it was also easy to do a quick search, where several "tags" would pop up. Anyway, I'd recommend using it for the site (and any other Japanese site with tags). It is extremely helpful, and much better than those independent English tags on the English version of the site.

Anyway, also useful, I guess:
野生のZUN
ZUN絵
東方再翻訳
東方曲○○風アレンジリンク

Man, this sounds awesome, but I can't get it to translate any tag on Nico Douga, and barely any on Nico Seiga. It's true, the best thing would be to have something like this working well for Nico and to throw translations into a database....

I'll add these. Thanks! [edit] Except 東方再翻訳 is like the most useless thing for non-speakers.

You might want to add the gensouhairi(幻想入り) tag.  Overall though thanks for the long list for us english speaker and for translating touhou niconico videos for us.

That's a nice list.
I didn't see the ☢caution!!☢ (http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/☢caution!!☢) tag for Utsuo fans so I add it up here. ^^
Also, using the Japanese name of any game or even fan game will usually brings you video of that game.

Uh, I`m sorry if this is not where it`s supposed to be.

Two finds that I wanted to kind of share.

One is a 14 minute, 21 MIDI? ear-copied medley.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2515783

The other is a mini-project they have with various artists. I don`t know if they still are working on it, and/or if it`s just a compilation or a actual project.
(So it`s not a single circle.)

After reading descriptions and tag, the first video is under the samidare (http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/samidare) tag.
Basically, (assuming my translation capacoty didn't fail me) a samidare are midis of touhou music done by hear, trying to get as closs as possible to the original.
Fist link is a video of such a samidare where the author made a medley of 21 touhou melody which also include at least 3 ending themes at the end.
The video was apparently popular enough to generate related videos and by extension a tag, the Touhou 21 songs medley (http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/%E6%9D%B1%E6%96%B921%E6%9B%B2%E3%83%A1%E3%83%89%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC).

About the second link, basically, there was a project where people posted their own videos which must follow a specific theme :
starting and ending with a circle (Japanese version mention the term "Baton Pass)".
Afterward, they were made into a single video and music was added.
Interestingly, said video also have the samidare tag. ^^
Perhaps that for details it would be better to ask the person directly so here is its nico nico profile page :

Also, welcome here. ^^

Good finds! I want to encourage more people to look through Nico for its many, many gems, so this sort of discussion is very welcome.

Actually, samidare (http://www.nicovideo.jp/user/320741/video) is the name of a Nico user who has submitted many ear-copied midi Touhou songs as well as some original songs. The music medley in the second video was also by him, hence the tag.

This is incredibly helpful. I'm posting here in case you'll update it sometime. Sorry if you hate 14 day bumps.

This post is really full of information that it is relevant for a lot of Touhou-addicted fans and it seems that it can be updated infinitely. Should it become a sticky post in this section?
