IOSYS


IOSYS is a Japanese musical ensemble and dōjin circle from Sapporo, Japan. The group is primarily known for producing remixes of music from the Touhou Project series of dōjin games. They are not signed to a label, instead preferring to release their music through dōjin channels such as the Comiket convention and via their website. Their music frequently parodies characters or themes of games such as those of Touhou Project or Atlus's Etrian Odyssey. Many of the current members reside in the Hokkaidō or Kantō areas of Japan.

IOSYS is generally best known for the Flash movies that go along with their songs.
The first Flash movie was a music video for their original song "You may die 2005" sang 2channel's culture, and was published in April 2006. It was created by a dōjin animation producer Kagi, also known as locker room production.

ARM, a main composer of IOSYS, recalled that he was interested in dojin music circles competed with each other for arrangements of the same original music. He was inspired by the Touhou Project arrangement song "Help me, ERINNNNNN!!" created by the dōjin circle COOL&CREATE in 2004.
In August 2006, IOSYS released the second Touhou Project arrangement CD,. In November 2006, they published a promotional video using the second track of the CD, "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" whose movie was made by Kagi. It had a positive critical reception from visitors. Flash movies were followed by "Stopping at the Diseased Part and Melting Quickly ~ Lunatic Udongein" from their third Touhou arrangement album, and "Rabbi-Tewi" co-worked with COOL&CREATE.. Their Flash movies and fan-made videos were uploaded to YouTube and Nico Nico Douga.
