⑨HAPPY CIRNO DAY! ⑨

:) the STORNGEST DAY.

⑨ "nineball"

To my (possibly) loyal Readers;

Hahahah yeah. So a good friend introduced me to a series of vertical danmaku shooting games called the TouHou Project. Its insanely addicting/challenging/fun. In the game "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" (Yeah I know, their English isn't perfect. But it works.) there is a certain Stage 2 boss. Her name. Is. Cirno!!!! (the Ice youkai). She is a rather weak boss, yet in her dialogue, she claims to be the strongest. She is also known for her idiocy. This has become the subject of many many many internet jokes. In the manual for Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she was labeled "9. Moron".

Copied from Touhou Wiki - The date "09-09-09" (Wednesday September 9 2009 09:09:09 more specifically) has been named "Cirno day" for obvious reasons. This day everything (for some reason) could be translated into nine. For example: September 9 is the 252th day of the year 2 + 5 + 2 = 9, you need 9 letters to type Wednesday and September and Japan's timezone is +9. Other names for this day include "The strongest day" and "⑨ day".

So to all who had no stinkin clue as to what "HAPPY CIRNO DAY" or ⑨ meant, now you should have some sort of knowledge as to what it is :).

Yours truly,

Lunatella.
