Touhou popularity poll 17 – BUTAOTOME-related stats

      Comments Off on Touhou popularity poll 17 – BUTAOTOME-related stats

Updated on January 17, 2022.

The results for the 17th Touhou popularity poll have been released yesterday. You can read here its results here (Japanese) or here (English). Between this and that, I decided to do some stats related to the music.

Here is a list of themes in the top 100 that don’t have a BUTAOTOME arrangement yet. Tracks with a * have an arrangement, but it’s instrumental/has other vocals.

31. Ano Nigiyaka na Ichiba wa Ima Doko ni ~ Immemorial Marketeers
41. Hishin Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons
49. Ryuuougoroshi no Princess
55. Border of Life [okay, does it even count?]
58. Crazy Back Dancers
61. Aka yori Akai Yume *
62. Shigen no Beat ~ Pristine Beat *
63. Kokyou no Hoshi ga Utsuru Umi
68. Kourou ~ Eastern Dream…
75. Sakura Sakura ~ Japanize Dream…*
78. Eien no Shunmu *
83. Shoujo Gensou ~ Necro-Fantasy
85. Hoshi Furu Tenma no Yama
88. Lunate Elf *
91. Unlocated Hell
93. Yume Shoushitsu ~ Lost Dream
96. Demystify Feast

Now, here is a list of themes with a BUTAOTOME arrangement… that are less popular than Enigmatic Doll (which is 186°, btw). Why did I use this specific theme as the cutoff? Because I was really surprised to learn that Muse’s theme (which has exactly 62 arrangements – including best of reappearances – documented on THBWiki) is actually more popular than a lot of Hifuu originals. Compare this with G Free (333) or Izanagi Object (235). And it’s not like it’s because there is a DiPP boost or what: from a quick look, it has been like this for at least the previous two polls.
