cuc:
ZUN's interview on the Dengeki Online stream has just ended.
(Some screencaps and info from Tohomemory and Vanishing Hermit)

- ZUN: I don't make console games because it's too much trouble for me.
- ZUN: The magazine is in some way a celebration of the 20th anniversary.

- Okonogi showed a few sneak peeks of the magazine:

- As Okonogi booted up LoLK's music room, they began talking about the game's music.
- ZUN: Writing the Stage 4 theme was a pleasant experience. When I spend time thinking about how to write a song, the song tends to be bad. Writing whatever comes to my mind is pleasant.
- ZUN: Due to the lore, [LoLK] absolutely must be a hard game.
- ZUN: Stage 5 feels like a shooting game from the past.
- ZUN: Extra Stage is Stage 7, thus it is part of the main story.
- ZUN: This time for players, beating Easy is enough. I wouldn't force them to [play on harder difficulties.]

- ZUN: (Browsing twitter on his phone) I see a cosplay of Clownpiece from the American TouhouCon. America has a good fandom environment. I'd like to go there again.
- He recently received an invitation from an event in France. [cuc: Japan Expo 2015, perhaps?]

- ZUN: As for the moons of the Stage 5 boss, I couldn't beat them myself when I tried it.
- ZUN: The writing process for the Stage 5 boss theme was very freewheeling.

- ZUN's food and drink column will continue on Comp Ace.
- ZUN: (Looking at pictures of his son) My son is so cute. Okonogi: You already said that during the interview.

- ZUN: Making the [danmaku] is fun, but dodging them is a pain.
- ZUN: (About the spacey motif of LoLK music) I heart space.

- The next issue of the magazine will be released in spring 2016.
- ZUN: The character introductions [in the magazine] are not written by me. In the past when I wrote them myself, people found them difficult to understand.

During the final audience Q&A session:
Q: Why is Hecatia wearing the weird T-shirt?
ZUN: For the answer to this question, please read about it in Gairai Ihen.

Another reminder to people:
You can preorder the book at Amazon, and it WILL ship overseas (Link)

Artists: Alstroemeria Records, SOUND HOLIC, and Yuuhei Satellite
Kind of a boringly safe selection.

--- Quote ---I wonder if this is ZUN's way of teasing the shippers.

Lol, for the sake of your sanity, try not to read too much into Genji Asai's artwork. He slips all kind of weird crap into his Touhou illustrations.

More sneak peeks:

"Touhou Kourindou ~ Curiosities of Lotus Asia."
Chapter 1: The alone and aloof curio shop owner

I wonder if ZUN will provide a new song on the CD, or is it arrangements only?

I like it that the first chapter seems to be about ULiL.

cuc:
Arrangements only, it seems.

Eh, there's another one from the stream which I wasn't sure about. ZUN said Hecatia's planets do "sink into her head".

That's more than the confirmation anyone would ever need about the planets.

Also, I'm 99% sure I know who this is. If I see her again today, I'll have to tell her.
