Mokou was black-haired before drinking the Hourai Elixir wasn't she ?
-
So that's why Mokou Hates Kaguya.
-
interesting story of Mokou well I now know why she hates Kaguya.
-
Kaguya is the queen of trolls
Those items they had to get were impossible to get XD -
This is why I love Touhou: legends, myths, mysteries, and especially, back-stories. Immersing into the lore can be daunting but rewarding.
-
I'll admit, the Vocaloid music bugged me. Vocaloid music almost always bugs me, especially when used in serious settings.
Yet the video had me so focused it actually stopped bothering me after only a few moments. That takes quite a bit where vocaloid music is concerned.
In short, I complement the animator's skill and very much enjoy the subject material. -
This is pretty much canon right? I've read CiLR and iirc this all actually happened to a degree.
-
And so we meet Fujiwara no Mojito.
-
Odd, I thought Mokou's father was the one sent to find the Fire Rat Fur Cloak, not the jeweled branch.
-
SHAMEFUL LIAR
-
And the truck?
-
wow, that's a pretty deep past of mokou, and it gives a bit more information about what happened even though I did sorta know about the whole father being betrayed/disregarded by kaguya and what lead to mokou's anger towards kaguya, also im always relieved when I don't find any mistakes cause then I can just enjoy the video lol

A-awwwww. Absolutely tragic -
Dem feels
-
This is good! I always surprised about how well you guys animate the emotions of the characters.

(Copying the comment I posted on the first video.)
This is the second in a series of three beautiful videos by maQam that assume knowledge of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Before you watch these videos, please take 20 minutes to read the information below. You should do this anyway since it will help you understand Kaguya's and Mokou's backstory!
(2 min) The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, also known as Princess Kaguya or Princess Moonlight, is a 10th-century Japanese folktale.
* An old bamboo cutter discovers Kaguya as a tiny baby in a glowing bamboo.
* He raises Kaguya with his wife, and in three months, she grows to be a young woman of shining beauty.
* Kaguya attracts many suitors, but she refuses to see any of them.
* Kaguya gives five particularly zealous aristocratic suitors impossible tasks to discourage them, and all fail.
-The second suitor (based on Fujiwara no Fuhito) is told to bring her the Jeweled Branch of Hourai, a branch of a jeweled tree on the legendary island of Hourai. He fakes his voyage and hires jewelers to make the branch. This is found out when the jewelers ask Kaguya directly for the payment.
-The fifth suitor (based on the head of the Mononobe clan at the time) is told to bring a cowrie shell laid by a swallow. He tries to complete his impossible task honestly and dies in the process.
* Even the Emperor of Japan requests her hand in marriage but is refused.
* On a night of full moon, a chariot comes from the Moon to take Kaguya back.
* Kaguya leaves a vial of elixir of immortality with the Emperor, who orders it to be burned atop Mount Fuji.
The Touhou Kaguya is based on this Kaguya. Mokou is thought to be the daughter of Fujiwara no Fuhito. (In the world of Touhou, Mokou became immortal by getting this elixir while it was being carried up the mountain; see Mokou's story in the Bougetsushou novel, Cage in Lunatic.)
(15 min) Read the following treatment of the tale: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/4018/4018-h/4018-h.htm#bamboo
(Or listen to an audio recording: http://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/72/japanese-fairy-tales/4834/the-bamboo-cutter-and-the-moon-child/ )
Mokou's father appears as the Second Knight.
