Things have been going well! The hotel bar stocks Kirin, which was a pleasant surprise. *laughs*

What do you mean, Meowth, Reimu’s in my pocket! It’s actually quite simple though: Gensokyo is separated by the Great Hakurei Barrier. There’s no way to guarantee that mail can be delivered there, unless it gets lost in transit, so unless you find some way to cross the Barrier, there’s no method to deliver an invitation. Even if that wasn’t the case though, this tournament is primarily focused on the musical aspect of the series, so even if someone like the Prismriver Sisters got invited, it might make more sense to have the music represented by the composer rather than a character.

I actually learned quite a bit of English before entering last year’s tournament; in the past, when I travelled outside of Japan, I usually brought a translator, but in the doujin spirit, I decided to take it upon myself to learn the language.
