A-Bit of Touhou (Chip Clip)
Behind the Bits 70
(A-Bit of Touhou was posted to YouTube on Feb 25, 2018)
At the time of writing this (August 2023), A-Bit of Touhou is close to reaching 1 million views on YouTube. It is by far the biggest surprise to me out of all my videos.
When I make these videos, I endeavour to understand the game/show/movie/meme/artist from the inside. I like to understand what the music means to the fanbase, and hopefully become a fan myself. For most of my videos I've chosen to cover music I was already a fan of, so this was easy, but once I started getting requests I had to work harder to understand the music people were asking for. When you’re holding yourself to a weekly post schedule it’s not always possible to become a diehard fan (not to mention the fact that some things just aren’t for you…).
All of this is to say that I did NOT understand Touhou from the inside, nor how big a fanbase it had, so when I see that it has been so popular despite how little I know, I wonder what I could have accomplished if I been a bigger fan.
That said, I still like what’s there and the relentless beat and key changes are pretty hype.

It’s been 10 years! For the 80th and final ep of A-Bit of 8-Bit I will be reremixing some of my favourite tunes from the last decade. Mario with Queen? Undertale with Harry Potter? The Beatles with Steven Universe? It’s going to be LARGE. In the lead-up, I’m making these 30-second Chip Clip shorts to highlight and reflect on my favourite 8-bit moments.
