Three categories are available for voting :

In the same order as on the site :
Character Poll - Vote for your (maximum of) 5 favourite characters. 2 points for the "first", and 1 for the other four.
Music Poll -  Vote for your (maximum of) 7 favourite songs. 1 point for each of the seven.
Voter Questionnaire - Miscellaneous questions about the games, e.g. which ones have you played / 1cc'ed, which characters do you use, how did you get into Touhou, etc.
Here is a translation of the questionnaire (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,18477.msg1187891.html#msg1187891), courtesy of Drake.

Here (http://thwiki.info/th/vote11/List.php) is a list of the characters and songs that you can vote for. The three first links send respectively to the list of characters, the list of songs, and a list of arranges that will count as the same at their original.



FAQ

(This has been copy/pasted from the previous popularity thread. I added some added information for some questions.)

General

Q. Why 'Touhou Series' and not 'Touhou Project'?
A. It's a tradition since the 1st contest.

Q. Can I vote from my cell phone?
A. It is not recommended, but you can vote from smartphone (iOS / Android).
There are times when a memory error will occur depending on your phone model. Please vote from a different location, such as a net cafe or a friend's PC, instead.

Q. Do I need to fill out the comment field?
A. Filling out the comment field isn't necessary.

Q. I don't have 5 characters (or 7 songs) that I want to vote for.
A. Vote for as many characters (or songs) as you would like, then leave the others unselected.

Q. Can I use pictures I've drawn on Pixiv, etc. as publicity images?
A. Publicity is welcome. In addition, posting with the hashtag "#toho_vote11" and "#第11回東方Project人気投票" is recommended. Registered participants can put a link to their work here (http://thwiki.info/th/vote11/Shien.php) (related to the contest).

Q. Can people outside Japan vote?
A. Yes.

Q. Regarding the voter survey questions on game clear status, aren't frame drop rates going to be included?
A. There are no plans to gather data that strictly.

Q. Will it be okay if I vote from the same computer as my siblings, etc.?
A. While it's impossible to say with 100% certainty that your votes won't be mistakenly judged to be duplicate votes, if you include the voting reason in the comment, it should be fine.

Q. I have no choice but to vote using a free e-mail address; will it be all right if I fill out the comment field properly?
A. As long as it's not a duplicate vote, there won't be any problem.

Q. Will the "highly favored vote" mechanism be introduced in the music section?
A. It will not be introduced.

Q. What is the maximum number of characters allowed for comments at voting time?
A. 200 full-width characters. [or 400 ASCII characters.]

Character

Q. Can I vote for Lily Black?
A. She is included in the "Lily White" option. (Note: In the "Nae Radio" broadcast on Aug 21, 2010, ZUN commented that Lily White and Lily Black are the same character.)

Q. Can I vote for Rin Satsuki?
A. As a character which does not officially exist, she will not be included.

Q. There's no option for the character I want to vote for...
A. As Seihou/Uwabami Breakers characters/ZUN are not characters that have appeared in the Touhou series, they will not be included.
In addition, inanimate objects (Yin-Yang orbs, gameplay items, etc) except for Shanghai Doll will not be included.

Q. Story of Eastern Wonderland's Stage 1 midboss and Stage 3 boss are inanimate objects, so I can understand why they're not included, but can't I vote for other PC-98 midbosses?
A. Considering that they have no proper names and are very poorly known, we have decided not to include them.

Q. Regarding the fairy mooks, will there be separate options for fairy maids, etc?
A. Characters without proper names will be included in the options named after their race.

Music

Q. How will votes for arrangements of original songs appearing on the music CDs be handled?
A. Arrangements will be displayed as separate items on the voting screen, but votes for the arrangements and their original songs will be counted together during vote totaling. Please vote for the arrangement you like the most.
(You cannot vote for both the original song and the arrangement.)

Q. How will "Love-Colored Magic" and "Love-Colored Master Spark" be handled?
A. Please refer to the table of arrangements with different names which will be counted together with their original songs (http://thwiki.info/th/vote11/List.php#COMMENT).

Q. Aren't "Bloom Nobly, Ink-Black Cherry Blossoms ~ Border of Life" and "Border of Life" different arrangements of the same song?
A. In this poll, they are treated as different songs.

Other

Q. Are there any plans to include the spell card poll?
A. It will not be implemented this time.

As usual hoping that Reimu will be dethroned. I'm wondering if I should start a campaign to get Alice to the top or not - seeing as she's come the closest so far. Not because of personal bias.

1. Alice Margatroid
2. Yukari Yakumo
3. Mima
4. Byakuren Hijiri
5. Nitori Kawashiro

Not much has changed about my character preferences. I'm sure I voted exactly the same as last year. If anything, Marisa Kirisame has taken a jump (I no longer dislike her and I'm closer to liking her now) but she's nowhere near the top 5.

Favorite characters:

1. Sukuna
2. Miko
3. Reisen Udonge
4. Kaguya
5. Tewi

Music:

1. Little Princess
2. Flight of the Bamboo Cutter
3. Kagome Kagome Cinderella Cage
4. Pristine Beat
5. True Administer
6. The Primal Scene of  Japan the Girl Saw
7. Invisible Red Moon

Only some of my votes have changed Sukuna still has won my heart though and love her music.
Title: Re: 11th Touhou Series Popularity Contest: Voting is open
Post by: Silent Harmony on May 23, 2015, 10:18:59 PM
Characters:
1. Wakasagihime
2. Shinmyoumaru Sukuna
3. Minoriko Aki
4. Kagerou Imaizumi
5. Hatate Himekaidou

I was seriously tempted to have DDC sweep the podium, I love the characters that much. Hatate I will confess squeaked in only because I cannot get Gensokoumuten's version out of my head.

Songs:
1. The Gensokyo the Gods Loved
2. Night Sakura of Dead Spirits
3. Bamboo Forest of the Full Moon
4. The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw
5. Vanishing Dream ~ Lost Dream
6. Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being
7. The Road of the Apotropaic God ~ Dark Road


I'm actually shocked by this list. Not the fact that 5 of my top 7 are stage themes, but the songs that missed the cut. Judas Kiss, Little Princess, Dimension of Reverie, and so many other songs came close but sadly could not make it. I seriously could make a mix tape of my favorite songs from PC-98 alone.

Characters
1: Keine
2: Reimu
3: Mokou
4: Nitori
5: Patchouli

Music:
1: Bloom Nobly, Ink-Black Cherry Blossom ~ Border of Life
2: Fires Of Hokkai
3: Night Sakura Of Dead Spirits
4: Gensokyo, Past and Present ~ Flower Land
5: Humans and Youkai Traversing the Canal
6: Let?s Live in a Lovely Cemetery
7: The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw

Some changes from last years, some similarities. Gained some real appreciation for Perfect Cherry Blossom, which may now be my favorite Touhou, but weirdly it wasn't reflected that much in my voting. Not putting Marisa in the top five was hard.

Title: Re: 11th Touhou Series Popularity Contest: Voting is open
Post by: Darkness1 on May 24, 2015, 12:18:51 AM
Voted pretty much the same as last year... I think.

Characters:
1. Reimu Hakurei
2. Kazami Yuuka
3. Ibuki Suika
4. Byakuren Hijiri
5. Yukari Yakumo


Themes:
1. Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Red and White (DiPP)
2. NecroFantasia (MA)
3. Emotional Skyscraper (UFO)
4. True Administrator (TD)
5. Septette for the Dead Princess (EoSD)
6. Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye
7. Battlefield of Hanazama


Except I added Kasen's theme on the 7th spot because why not. Normally I would probably have placed Flower of Japan or Gensokyo, Past and Present there, but I really liked it for a new theme (and the LoLK themes doesn't appear to be voteable yet) and I really felt like "boosting" it in votes.

I didn't write comments about anything. I simply voted on them and they accepted my votes.

Thanks. That's good to know.

By the by, here's who I'm voting for, and the comments that I'm putting in each...

1. Tokiko
A rare kind of bird who reads books. I wish she had a theme.

2. Motoori Kosuzu
She naturally brings trouble to Reimu. She deserves a theme or three to set the mood for her antics.

3. Hidea no Akyuu
Has a theme already, which makes her the only proof needed that characters from only the books can have themes.

4. Lorelai Mystia
Curiously, I honestly believe that her name has more meaning than we know.

5. Fujiwara no Mokou
She is fire. Enough said.

And that's all I got for now. This isn't in any order of preference, and the only one who would be considered popular on this list is Mokou(The "She is fire." is a sort play of the phrase "I am Electricity." from a certain game that I know...)

I think you missed one question in FAQ
The one that says LoLK characters and music are not available in this poll

Anyway, here are my votes

Characters
1. Koishi Komeiji
2. Usami Sumireko
3. Seija Kijin
4. Gengetsu
5. Mima

Music
1. Hartmann's Youkai Girl
2. Battlefield of Hanahazama
3. Last Occultism ~ Esotericist of the Present World
4. Inchlings of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess
5. Illusionary Joururi
6. Bell of Avici ~ Infinite Nightmare
7. Alice in Wonderland

It looks like Sukuna's theme and Byakuren's theme get a lot of attention, I wonder which one will win.
I hope Koishi can stay in 3rd position. People like Seija, Sukuna, Resien and Mokou are going to rise.

My all-time favorites (Youmu, Flandre, Patchouli, etc.) will probably end up in 01~30 anyway, so I decided to vote for some of the less popular characters (according to the 2012/2014 polls) that I like. So without further ado:

- Rumia
- Ibuki Suika
- Kisume
- Nazrin
- Kasodani Kyouko

As for the music:

- U.N. Owen was Her?
- Suimusou (7.5 main theme)
- Otogi no Kuni no Onigashima
- Touhou Yourendan (from 10.5)
- Heartfelt Fancy
- Haru no Minato ni
- Oomiwa Shinwaden

Bolded part = 1st pick.

Numbers 1 and 2 are the same as last year, otherwise my corruption levels have risen dramatically over the last 12 months... Wasn't sure who to put in slot 5, so I went with Sumireko. She deserves it for making me go OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD for about 48 hours when I first saw her name.


This was much harder than last year. Most of my votes have changed too! Magical Astronomy is a stacked album and deserves all the love, and I couldn't decide between Kasen's theme and DDC's Stage 5 theme, but Kasen won in the end. So badass...

I cannot read Japanese, but I think it says something like we have to re-vote the music apartment

Due to a server problem, they had reset the music voting data at May 25, 1:00 AM JST (May 24. 4:00 PM UTC).

If you submitted your music votes before that hour, you need to do it again.

Not much change from last year although I've grow to like Akyuu a lot over time. By now, I'd go as far as to say that Akyuu is one of the best written character in the series if not the best written one. That and reading some of the print works made me like Toyohime a little more than Yorihime.

1. Eirin
2. Akyuu
3. Kasen
4. Toyohime
5. Yorihime

---

1. The Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum
2. Desire Drive
3. The Gensokyo the Gods Loved
4. Gensokyo Millenium ~ History of the Moon
5. The Purest Sky and Sea
6. At the End of Spring
7. A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander

(The reset allowed me to fix 6 and 7 since I forgot about them)

4. What draws you into the Touhou Series? (multiple answer)
5. Currently-subscribed publications:
6. When did you get into Touhou?          *Shuusou Gyoku

7. How did you first discover Touhou?

They have confirmed that in addition to music, some data for the other two categories, "game" and "questionnaire" have also been lost.

If you voted during May 24 and May 25 (JST), you should do the following to check whether your votes have been correctly saved.
The best to do is to try to enter your ID again without inputting any vote. If the error displayed below appears, which means you already voted with this ID, then you're fine. If not, then you need to vote again.

I just realized that most of these songs are final boss, extra stage or extra boss songs. Apparently, I like the late game. xD

I initially wasn't gonna vote this year because I still think the survey is badly designed (at least the music section anyway), but after thinking about my choices I realized how much some of them have changed recently, so I'll share my votes with everyone here.

Characters
1. Youmu Konpaku
2. Utsuho Reiuji
3. Kogasa Tatara
4. Reimu Hakurei
5. Marisa Kirisame

Only who's first on my list has changed. Utsuho and Youmu kinda go back and forth over time anyway, and Youmu feels like a #1 pick to me right now.

Music
1. Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion
2. A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy
3. Beware the Umbrella Left There Forever
4. Sky of Scarlet Perception
5. Magical Storm
6. Absorbed in Curiosity Year-Round
7. Midnight Spell Card

I really like Magical Storm and Midnight Spell Card, so they ended up on my list and bumping some other contenders. In no particular order except for #1.

Post by: kevin1127 on May 28, 2015, 04:49:59 AM
Since the site lost the music voting data of the first day (and characters, for some people) and it can hugely affect the result, they made several changes.
http://thwiki.info/th/vote11/Apology.php
1. Postpone the deadline of the voting ( which is now 6/1)
2. Add a page where you can confirm your ID and change your vote (up to 3 times) (it's under the link where you received your ID)(type your ID in the first blank and email in the second)
3. Send email to those people who have received an ID  but have not vote the music section

Well, it's good that they added these countermeasures, because many people just vote and leave and never return, which will cause a big change to the result.
Although I hope Koishi can make into No.1 spot this time, I don't want her kick out Reimu just because the site made a problem, it makes the result not accurate and many people will complain.

I usually play on Normal, but I'm not good enough to 1cc yet so I spent yesterday playing on Easy to see if I would be able to beat anything so I wouldn't have to put "no clears" on the survey. Then when I voted, I found out it only counts if you clear with each character. Curses, Marisa

I'll have some thoughts on the results when my head starts working again.

A bit off, there. Like, around 257 points off.

Now then, Koishi is the next target.

Other than Reimu dethroned after...a really long time (people really liked Koishi slasher imagery i think), i find interesting:
Rumia conquering places constantly, finally surpassing Cirno after many years. Excluding the midbosses, Cirno is the lowest EoSD boss now.
Renko's huge jump :V

I wished Sumireko did better though. Maybe next year after people start knowing her more.

The Twitter exit polls turned out to be representative, finally Reimu's 7-year reign ended... 

There are two sandwiches this year, a Scarlet-Youmu sandwich (Flandre on top) and an Aki-Yumemi sandwich (with the salad on top).

That's the best I can do for the character poll at the moment. For some reason all the result names are coming up as nonsense symbols for me, so I can't search them to fill in the gaps. I've been using the previous results as a guide, but I'm still missing:

#100, #128, #132(1), #132(2), #136(1), #138(1), #140, #146, #147(2), #150(1), #150(3), #154, #155, #157, #158, #164(4) and #170.

If anyone can fill these in then I'll vote for them in the next poll.

Aw none of my favorite characters even broke top 30. At least Little Princess was top 5. I was shocked to hear that Reimu and Septette were dethroned. I wonder who won...

1   3   14   Koishi Komeiji   7859   1603

#138 (1) is Unshou, the doctor in WaHH 11
#154 is Sendai Shirou
#157 is Enenra, the smoke worm in FS
#164(4) might be a reference to Kasen's ULiL spellcard that was only in the C87 demo version? Tohou Wiki being down is kind of inconvenient

#146 is "Tokage," and #150(1) is "Uwabami." I'm not sure who either are -- the only Uwabami I know is Uwabami Breakers, and that's a game, not a character.

You're both good people. I'm assuming #164(4) is Kasen's tiger from ULiL (Houso) and #150(1) is the unnamed snake youkai from Forbidden Scrollery. #146 Tokage = lizard so not sure what that's referencing. 

Anyway, I've put them all in and someone'll doubtlessly speak up if they're wrong.

Look at what Tasofro had done:
Kororo is the highest character after UFO and managed to stay in top 20 this time
Koishi jumped from 14 to 3 because of HM, and now is in 1st place because of ULiL

Koishi's popularity trend: 35→ 22→ 15→ 14→ 3→ 1
Hartman's popularity trend: 17→ 14→ 11→ 10→ 5→ 3

Anyone's interesting in doing an analysis for Koishi's popularity?

I think that's Kasen's lizard from Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 24. It doesn't appear to be on the wiki right now.

Not really getting the Koishi appeal but I admit her theme is pretty solid and her gimmick in ULiL was amusing.

Doesn't seem like Kasen was helped nearly as much (by ULiL) though.

Uwabami is the snake disguised as a human in FS 22-23. Or perhaps the multiple snakes disguised as humans..

I think that's Kasen's lizard from Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 24. It doesn't appear to be on the wiki right now.

It isn't. I'd recommend adding it to the Dragon wiki, too, since they're said to grow into dragons. The wiki is kind of behind on manga stuff so if no one else does it I'll fill it out soon. Nessie, Okiku, and Hasshaku should be added somewhere, as well.

EDIT: Actually some of it is there under Minor Characters, though it could still be added to.

I can't express how overjoyed I am to see that stubborn, boring miko getting dethroned. :D

and by Koishi? Even better! Only reason I didn't vote for her is because she is not on my top 5. But she is certainly on my top 10.

Also really happy to see Kokoro, Udonge and Patchy on the top 20. ♥ ♥ ♥

I too am out of words and quite surprised. I don't quite understand the Koishi appeal either, guessing HM and ULiL might have influence in this but...!

As a gentlemen, I have to accept defeat to the fact both Hakurei Reimu and Septette being dethroned.

/me takes of his hat.

Congratulations.

ps. Curious about artwork now from artists.

Edit
By the way, curious about the voting structure. I noticed that Marisa has received most #1 votes (favour vote?) among all, but ended up 3rd. Reimu has more #1 votes than Koishi but ended up 2nd. It almost feels like people tried throned Kirisame Marisa as #1 and Reimu as 2nd place but the list turned out different because of the points? Or am I reading this all wrong.

Marisa #1 would've been quite amusing too in terms of artwork.

Edit 2
Studying bit more the list compared to 9th and 10th. Koishi rose from out of Top 10 into Rank 1 this year. Though we'll have to see whether she holds that spot next year. For the Koishi fans I hope she does, but looking at Marisa's wrath, she might be taking it next year.

Septette being dethroned was matter of time. UN Owen was #2 for last two years and thus competing with her elder sister.

Think that's all the typos sorted now.

- Seija's leap from 56th to 27th and becoming the most popular DDC character is a terrible [glorious] result and the worst [best] change in this poll. Let's aim for the bottom [top] next time.
- Koishi, please stop mindscrewing the voters, thanks. She's not even the best satori, let alone the best character.
- There're a bunch of other things I could complain about, but out of everything, Kanako being the least popular Windows final boss probably stings the most.
- Two of my votes (Seija, Nue) actually ended up causing/resolving ties, so that's pretty neat.
- Mai is more than 15 points better than Yuki.

I looked at the music poll, but 450 results is lol nope.

......First....place...huh...... *rubs eyes*

WAIT REALLY?!

YESSSSSSSSS  :getdown:

The fact that she is getting more spotlight in HM and ULiL definitely raises people's interpretation of her. She's gotten more of a personality(?), and more interesting interactions with the other characters that give her some charm. Also, her Moe Harukawa artwork is just too cute. so no mask of hope shenanigans here :V

EDIT: I guess her relationship with is now okay, as Kokoro has probably mellowed out. Maybe she and her ship is increasing in popularity because it isn't a love(?) hate relationship. I'm just putting some ideas out there.

Of course there is more around and some on Pixiv. But these are always amusing.

I don't know how interested the fandom is with stats, but I'd like to share this (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y7pngkmG9Nvgk0dKqIgR7HvShI4DShWSuj5SjY1YOhY/edit?usp=sharing) spreadsheet. (Warning: Google Drive link, so open Incognito or log out of your Google account if you want to stay an Anonymous Animal.)

I calculated some values such as # of 2nd-5th Place Votes, # of Votes Total, % of Votes Overall, % of 1st Place Votes Overall, Change in Rank, etc. You can sort columns, of course, and see how a particular character fares (I calculate the after-sort rank lazily by looking at the row number and subtracting by 1 :t). You can see some curious stuff such as characters who got points mostly from a sheer number of votes, and those who got fewer but were voted 1st by a larger percentage.

I did this somewhat in a rush, so my thinking can be wrong in some areas.

Edit: To sort, click anywhere on a column, then Data > Sort sheet by column [A-Z], A -> Z | Z -> A.

Edit2:
- Moved the total votes cell to Sheet2; used the vote count given on the wiki.
- Found that sorting by column causes reference errors, because the whole sheet gets sorted, including the total votes cell and not just the table. Fixed by the above.

Congrats to Koishi! Didn't think she would go even higher that her previous placement. Someone please keep an eye on Gpop before he does something rash due to delirious joy  :D

As for the rest:

- Alice after her exploit 2 years ago is steadily losing ground

Post by: Clarste on June 01, 2015, 08:05:49 PM
To be honest, it's always kind of bugged me that Reimu was in 1st place, because I always assumed it had more to do with her being more recognizable, rather than people actually liking her. Which, in retrospect, is really rude to Reimu, but I still think it's probably true. I certainly can't think of anyone who would vote Reimu as their favorite character. On the other hand, I can't help but feel that people are jumping on the Koishi bandwagon because of recent knife-phone memes. Or maybe I'm just a cynical old bastard who has no place talking about character polls.

...I've also wondered why people like Septette so much. It's not bad, but it seems like an odd choice to me. There, I'm confident that the list is mostly due to the songs being older and therefore getting more remixes (obviously, the PC-98 stuff is even older, but gets less exposure than EoSD).

One thing that's interesting in this poll is how nearly all the EoSD, PCB and IN songs gained more votes. Seems like nostalgia is kicking in or something.

On the Reimu part i agree, although Koishi was already very popular.

About Septette, i can only speak for myself: i love it because it's extremely fitting with its related boss, and is a great piece of music even by itself

Well, it made sense to me that she'd get bumped to third place after HM, because she got an interesting storyline and a funny moveset. I don't think ULiL introduced enough new to add to that bump though, other than the memes. Especially since we're talking about displacing the reigning champion.

Again, there's nothing wrong with the song and I can understand people having it as their own personal #1, but the margin between 2nd and 3rd place is pretty huge. Septette has 50% more votes than 3rd place. It's not even close.

At least speaking from my circle of friends, I can say that it's because EoSD is one of the most well known touhou games, so I feel that people don't take much interest in many of the newer works.

Said friends of mine don't really feel like knowing the newer cast and end up sticking to the characters up to IaMP.  A few like MoF/SA too but that's it really.

Bonus point: An otaku mutual once came to chat, telling me he discovered "This new character from one of the newer touhou games, a white haired nurse with a bow called Medicine."

Yep....

Koishi's Last Word in Urban Legend in Limbo is a reference to the "Mary-san" urban legend. Mary-san is an abandoned doll that returns to its owner, making phone calls to announce its location as it gets closer and closer. The final call is "I'm right behind you." Here's (http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2008650) a related picture from the game.

If you're favourite character is Renko or Sumireko you'd be smart enough to know the difference between the two. Not the mention the fact that the characters were sorted by game, voters for Sumireko just went to the ULiL part.

My thought is that she just became more popular over time. I noticed a rise in Sealing Club related fanworks past few years.

Sumireko may also have simply reminded people that Renko exists. "Oh yeah, I liked Renko, didn't I?" I don't think most people keep a full list of their top 5 in their head at all times, so it might have affect the 2-5 slots significantly.

Looking at that stat sheet, I can only guess a lot of people never bother to revote if their vote was deleted from the Music votes.

I mean the character vote count increased, but the music vote count decreased by over 10%. I can't imagine people just stop voting for music and only for characters.

I think it's the latter. Just count the total of first votes for all characters. Each of those should count as one for each vote/form.

Also, it's important to note that, it's not just the votes for Music category that was lost, but also the characters and misc votes as well.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/tohomemory/archives/44188530.html
Due to the crash, ALL music votes were reset, AND part of the other two category votes were also lost.

I'm quite positive that it won't change the top 15-20 characters much, but after that I'm quite sure it changes a lot. This should be even worse in the music votes, since the end count (20000~) is actually lower than last year (23000~), when there's more people voting the character section now.
(I'm actually quite confused how there's a 10000~ difference between the Character and Music Votes. Does that mean 10000 people didn't vote for the music section? Why?)

It's understandable that some people may not be satisfied by the current result, but I think we should just let it be. I admit there are some points that disappointed me. However, it's not something that can be settled with just complaining.
I dunno, maybe if they redo the voting? It's not really a nice solution, but perhaps it's worth considering.

By the way, personally, Last Remote > Hartmann Youkai Girl. That's one of the few things I'm not okay about with this pool results.

Post by: Silent Harmony on June 02, 2015, 04:58:42 AM
Personally even with the loss of votes I don't see a re-vote happening for at least two reasons. First is the fact that the votes loss were likely proportional to the totals, meaning unless your song was super low on the listI highly doubt its placement was affected much. Honestly, if your favorite song had so little votes that the loss potentially affected their placement by several spots, then it was low enough that in the end it doesn't matter. It'd be like me complaining about how Bamboo Forest of the Full Moon fell 30 spots; yes the loss of votes potentially hurt it, but honestly  potentially barely breaking top 50 or 60 is still not impressive. At the top I'd be shocked if one song outside of the top 2 lost so many votes that it affected its spot by more than 1 place, if at all. For instance, do you really think Cosmic Mind or Lost Remote lost hundreds more votes than HYG?

Second is the fact that a re-vote this close to the results being released has limitless potential of being influenced by the results. For instance, if you didn't vote for a top-5 character before but hate Kioshi, then you're more likely to vote for Reimu or Marisa in an effort to dethrone her. The same can be said about Septette and U.N. Owen; people who didn't vote for Septette before may be more tempted to do so now.

I hope at least some of that made sense.

Thanks for correcting.


and I just realize I have not post my thoughts yet.

・Music vote is screwed up. Top 20 might be fine, but everything after 20th jumped or droped 20+ position.
・I have no idea how Hartmann got into 3rd. Looks like people vote for it just because they like Koishi
・Fortune teller in 100th. I wonder he is part of the reason why Reimu dropped, although I was not very surprising or shocking by the event.
・Aki sandwich - strawberry flavor
・I feel sad for some of the low popularity characters, and most of them are from newer games, PC-98 era, and printwork
・Sumireko in 47th, not bad I suppose..
・I don't know why some of the characters got benefit because of ULiL (Miko, Futo) and some of them did not (Byakuren, Nitori)
・The most unexpected jump in this poll - Usami Renko. I know WHAT made her this popular but I don't know WHY.
・Another unexpected jump by Kogasa, which made her the most popular character in newer games (any games after UFO, include UFO itself) (exclude Kokoro)
・It's good to see that Kokoro is a newer character but managed to stay in top 20. oh hey look at that low 1st place vote percent.
・Seija made a big jump, Reisen jumped to top 20, Mokou got into top 10 for obvious reason.
・I get tired of that huge EoSD fanbase. Come on, UFO, TD, and DDC have great characters and musics, too.
・Congratulations, Marisa. You got the highest number of 1st place vote.
・ALL HAIL TO KOISHI KOMEIJI. This is somehow expected. Many people believe it's becuase people were thinking " Reimu is going to be 1st anyway, so I will just vote for other." I hope that Koishi can sill be in top 3 next year.

I hope at least some of that made sense.

Don't worry, I got your point. I was just trying to find an explanation to the random changes on lower ranks. Just hoping that at least the people confused by the odd changes can feel a slight relief. I also think that redoing the vote isn't exactly a good idea, I agree with you.

Though I want to comment on this in particular
For instance, do you really think Cosmic Mind or Lost Remote lost hundreds more votes than HYG?
Actually, it's nothing weird that Last Remote didn't get much raise, since people associate Koishi with HYG, and that's where the popularity boost goes.
As for Cosmic Mind, it's not about the relation with Hartmann. I thought it's no wonder that it'll lose to Hartmann and Reach for the Moon, because those two has their respective popularity boost, so losing 2 place is almost guaranteed regardless of the lost votes and all.

However, what you said there piqued my interest. I honestly didn't think of that until you mentioned it, so I went to check. It was quite a shock, really.
Cosmic Mind scores 3213, while previously it got 3827.
Compare Border of Life, which scores 3862, while previously it got 3836.
Either 600 people changes their preference this time, or the lost votes just happen to be a good chunk that picked Cosmic Mind, even if that seems unlikely. Who knows?
I won't be surprised if that get  noticed.

I'm quite positive that it won't change the top 15-20 characters much, but after that I'm quite sure it changes a lot. This should be even worse in the music votes, since the end count (20000~) is actually lower than last year (23000~), when there's more people voting the character section now.

For characters, we don't know what was lost, so no data to compare. I would guess there aren't any changes.

For music, the lost votes are too large to not make an impact, even among the top ranks.
If we are to use pattern guessing, the music vote count should have been increased between last year and this year. however, between last year and this year, we lost about 2,500 music votes.
Conversely speaking, we gained about 1400 character votes between last year and this year.
So, going by pattern, we lost 3000+ votes in the music category. 3000 votes is a major change to all ranks, including the top ones. We are talking about approximately 15% deviation here.

However, what you said there piqued my interest. I honestly didn't think of that until you mentioned it, so I went to check. It was quite a shock, really.
Cosmic Mind scores 3213, while previously it got 3827.
Compare Border of Life, which scores 3862, while previously it got 3836.
Either 600 people changes their preference this time, or the lost votes just happen to be a good chunk that picked Cosmic Mind, even if that seems unlikely. Who knows?
I won't be surprised if that get  noticed.

Ok, that is a good find I admit. But then again just looking at the results (not total vote count) I notice 2 songs jump out at me: Hartmann Youkai Girl and Reach For the Moon, Immortal Smoke. Both finished higher than Cosmic Mind this year and both have seen huge jumps within the last couple of year (especially Immortal Smoke, which jumped 5 places this year). Hartmann I can speculate that its popularity is in part related to Koishi's sudden, surprising rise. Immortal Smoke? My only guess is that Mokou's reappearance in ULIL boosted that song. Yes I know Cosmic Mind is also in that game (and HM as well) but if you look it's been dropping steadily since finishing 3rd two polls ago. Chances are that voters just are not as into the song as when it first came out. While I'd admit it's a better song than, at least, HYG, being better has nothing to do with being popular.
Just look at what won this whole thing [/salt].

For music, the lost votes are too large to not make an impact, even among the top ranks.
If we are to use pattern guessing, the music vote count should have been increased between last year and this year. however, between last year and this year, we lost about 2,500 music votes.

So, going by pattern, we lost 3000+ votes in the music category. 3000 votes is a major change to all ranks, including the top ones. We are talking about approximately 15% deviation here.

Again, that's only true if those 3000+ votes were all towards the same small sample of songs at the top of the list. As far as I'm aware, all of the music votes were lost and the poll was extended as a result. Keep in mind I had to re-vote for music as well, and my choices didn't change at all. That would mean that either a) a lot of people changed their votes this year compared to last or b) a lot of people who like Cosmic Mind (continuing using that as an example) voted at the same time at the very beginning and then didn't bother to vote again when their votes got deleted.

Honestly given those two options I'd say (a) is more likely. I mean the idea of hundreds, if not thousands, of votes in the first 24 hours going to the same couple of songs, then getting lost and screwing up the top of the bracket that badly is...I'm sorry it's crazy to me. No offense but I just don't see it. Maybe, maybe a top-10 song dropped a spot or two lower than it should've, but that's it. I still think it's more likely that the lower parts of the music poll, where there were massive gains/drops as kevin1127 pointed out, were affected more than the top because the lost votes were spread out.

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I just have a hard time seeing otherwise though.

Hmmm I wonder though if it would've been wiser for thwiki to nuke the entire poll when the data loss happened and simply restart both the character and music poll? Of course way too late now.

Things I noticed while reading the survey results:
1. The survey had even less responses than the music poll.
2. The majority of the fans who answered the survey were young men.
3. For many of the games, the top two answers were "cleared normal" and "haven't played."
4. 2008 was a big year for being a new fan.
5. Almost half of the responders found Touhou through YouTube or Nico Nico.
6. Everyone loves the music, characters, and setting.
7. Google translates "amanojaku" as "perverse"

・I get tired of that huge EoSD fanbase. Come on, UFO, TD, and DDC have great characters and musics, too.
So this ^. Though IMO the huge fanbase also supports PCB and IN in addition to EoSD
Meanwhile, in music I made unpopular choices. And that hurts me. My favourite song is 131...
I feel your pain man :( That song is literally one of my absolute favorites too. Last year I thought it'd become a classic in the polls so I gagged when it was 3digit rank



(Meanwhile Sky Ruin is #228 ... and I voted for it)

Edit: Magical Storm is #223 and I voted for that too, lol

Huh. I don't like Koishi that much. Oh well. Could be worse I guess. Congratulations to her (apparently legion) fans.

Keine went up four places, that's cool. Wonder what caused that.

To be honest, it's always kind of bugged me that Reimu was in 1st place, because I always assumed it had more to do with her being more recognizable, rather than people actually liking her. Which, in retrospect, is really rude to Reimu, but I still think it's probably true. I certainly can't think of anyone who would vote Reimu as their favorite character. On the other hand, I can't help but feel that people are jumping on the Koishi bandwagon because of recent knife-phone memes. Or maybe I'm just a cynical old bastard who has no place talking about character polls.

If I had to guess, the number of people who rank Reimu first is relatively few, but a ton of people voted her in their top five. I did.

Actually, Reimu had a few more 1st place votes than Koishi (1648 vs 1603), and Marisa got more than either (1719); but Koishi had more than enough not-first votes to make up for it and surpass them.

I am not talking about all 3000 votes. I am talking about a difference of 400 between 1st and 2nd place. It won't change the outcome of 2nd and 3rd (difference is like 1000 votes), since the numbers are too far off. 3rd and 4th, is possible, but not likely. 4th and 5th (difference is like 200), so that outcome can change. Pretty much outside of 2nd and 3rd, the outcome of the top ten songs can change.

The main issue here is the lost votes are theoretically fairly large here. And while you did revote, if we were to follow the pattern and make some estimates, about 3000 people did not revote. So, those votes do not count.

It is quite clear majority voted for Koishi, even though Marisa has lots of #1 votes. It doesn't really matter any more.

I think I've seen a graph on Twitter showing sudden rise of Koishi compared to the last 11 years.

I see some people (like Youmu) have had some pretty big ups and downs but Koishi has had a journey! From 35th to 1st, wow. Is the first huge jump around the time HM was released? I'm really curious how she managed to reach the top since she's only appeared in two games since her introduction and even though I love her I have to admit her importance or presence in the series hasn't grown except for HM. Maybe fans just love her super adorableness  :3

You guys are silly... Koishi's always been number 1, I guess you just never noticed her.

I'm pretty surprised that U.N. Owen took this long to beat Septette. I personally don't like it much, but I feel that it's one of the most iconic themes in the series.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about character votes. We have no comparison for lost character votes. I was talking about music votes.

I believe these 2 songs switch around from time to time. Usually Septette takes first, but U.N. Owen takes first from time to time.

Your post somehow reminds me of the Nadia omake short (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdKSamxS0cY) where the narrator examines the heroine Nadia's horrible personality.
