What is "Live With Phantasma"?
Live With Phantasma is an ongoing live event hosted in the official Touhou LostWord Discord Server where Phantasma and guests from GamePress and the LostWord Discord Moderation team discuss the state of the game, new and upcoming content, and answer questions.
New Music Video
To kick off this week's Live With Phantasma event, a short version of the new music video, Lost Word Chronicle, in collaboration with German Frozen Starfall, was announced!
You can check out the music video here:
The song will also be available in-game when the full version has been released.
Everyone Wins Campaign
Touhou LostWord Global has hit one million downloads! To celebrate this unique occasion, an immense amount of new content and rewards for the community have been revealed.
To hit it off, the Everybody Wins Campaign makes a return! To those who log in all 30 days of the campaign and have cleared the prologue, a gift of 300 God Crystals and a Divine Paper Doll await you! The campaign will last until April 28th, 2022, 23:59 UTC, with campaign gifts being distributed the next day.
Arena Daily Clear Event
Along with the Everybody Wins Campaign, there will be an Arena Daily Clear Event which will provide those who complete the challenges of the Arena with bonus incense! This event will last until March 24th, 2:59 UTC.
Yuuka Kazami Re-Run
Perhaps you don't have a friend to help you overcome the challenges the Arena may provide? Fear not, the Flower Master of Fantasy, Yuuka Kazami, is making a return with her re-run banner! Starting from March 17th, this re-run features an ascending God Crystal Step-Up along with a normal banner, with both methods of obtaining Yuuka Kazami providing double Fortune Dust! Don't miss out, as Yuuka is only here until March 24th, 2022, 2:59 UTC.
Watasuki no Toyohime
What's that? More firepower? Perhaps, a lollipop for your efforts? Don't worry, the Lollipop Princess of Plenty, Watasuki no Toyohime, is arriving on the 15th of March! Similar to Yuuka Kazami's re-run banner, this Ultra Festival banner provides double Fortune Dust on every prayer. Act quick, as she's only here until the 31st of March, 2:59 UTC.
For those looking to have Toyohime as your background forever, whether it be on your desktop or mobile devices, we've got you covered.
Fire EX
With the Moon EX event come and gone, Fire EX is here to... prove that they are the strongest? That's right, with Fire EX brings Cirno, the absolute strongest, as the Fire EX boss!
This event also brings with it a new shop, providing challengers with necessities such as Spirit Points and the Fire EX Story Card: Worlds in Hand.
Fire EX Banner
Just like the Moon EX event, Fire EX brings with it a corresponding elemental banner, featuring powerful friends, such as Suika Ibuki, Kasen Ibaraki, Rin Kaenbyou, and Shion Yorigami, until the 24th of March, 2:59 UTC. This banner will also feature two God Crystal Step-Up banners, instead of the traditional one. This means there will be 100 possible Step-Up summons available versus 50!

Live Stage Questions
Here are some questions that some of the listeners had for Phantasma & guests! Tune in to the next Live With Phantasma in the official Touhou LostWord Discord Server to possibly have your question featured here. Please note that questions pertaining to future content regarding the story, characters, etc., will not be answered.
Q: “Has there been an increase of players farming the event stage ever since the Story Card rate up?”
A (Phantasma): Waiting until the event finishes to check that data.
Q: “When is the next Dev Letter? They are the best way to spend one hour of my life.”
A (Phantasma): Next Dev Letter is when the next Dev Letter is. No answer for that one.
Q: “How was your day?”
A (Phantasma): Magnificent.
A (EcoMaster21): I’m good! I slept way too much.
A (Nekomaki): I woke up 3 hours ago (4 PM).
A (Neku): You guys are amazing.
Q: “Will the Nemunoki re-run event shop feature Story Card-enhancing medicines?”
A (Phantasma): Yes. It will have medicines and mirrors in it.
Q: “Will the Fire EX boss really be Cirno?” (Asking as if it couldn’t have been anyone else)
A (Phantasma): Yep, it will be. It was destiny.
Q: “Did [Phantasma] work on the EX challenges, and if so, what did [Phantasma] think while making it?”
A (Phantasma): Uh, yeah, I make the EX challenges. As for what I think about making them: we have a lack of mechanics in this game and I want to do more stuff.
Q: “Do the people who work on LostWord get free fumos?”
A (Phantasma): Uhh… no…
Q: “Do you [Phantasma] have a fumo?”
A (Phantasma): …I don’t know.
Q: “Will the daily reset time ‘drift’ relative to Daylight Savings?”
A (Phantasma): No, as the game is in UTC.
A (EcoMaster21): Those affected by Daylight Savings will see reset times change relative to their location.
Q: “Who are the Rebirth Mirrors in the re-run event shop for?”
A (Phantasma): They’ll be in order, so Reimu and Marisa.
