[Guest comment]
Tanaka:
Thank you for today. I am going to have the secondary creation of the "Touhou Project" done and I would like to continue my hard work so that I can further boost the world in the east. Since it is a historical game, while keeping the world view, we will make new adjustments as games for smartphones and make it. Continue to thank you

Ito:
I am the one who made the opportunity to launch this game, but since the world in the East is a world where various people challenged various things, including ZUN, and enjoyed with excitement, "Toho Cannon Ball" also , I think it would be nice if it would be one page of secondary creation in the East. If it is okay, I would be happy if you continue to be excited together

Mitsunabe:
I want to make it a purely fun game. We will seriously consider what users and creators will participate in and how to enjoy them. Thank you, continue. Thank you for today

ZUN:
It seems that Nikoniko 's comment was pretty rough, though (laugh) But this is as expected. Among the current trend, neither can not make a smartphone game. If you grant secondary creation like this time, more interesting games may come out in the future, and users can decide how to engage with the game in the future. I think that start line is here and I am looking forward to it. Even if I do it properly, I will not get it right (lol) But if I will officially release STG with a smartphone in the future, please support me at that time (lol)
