東方Project

東方Project (Touhou Project) is maimai’s category for musical arrangements and remixes of the soundtracks from the Touhou Project bullet hell franchise. It consists exclusively of fan-made covers and doujin music based on the original compositions by ZUN, rather than tracks from the official games themselves. In the current maimai でらっくす (maimai DX) song list, this category is maintained as a standalone division, separating these specific community-driven arrangements from other licensed works like VOCALOID or general game music.

Historically, this category has remained one of the most stable classifications in the series due to the sheer volume of Touhou content available. While other categories have undergone mergers or renaming, the Touhou Project tab has consistently appeared as a primary selection since its introduction in early versions like maimai GreeN. In the transition to the DX series, it retained its independent status to accommodate the extensive library of tracks from famous circles such as IOSYS, COOL&CREATE, and Alstroemeria Records. The category continues to receive regular updates with both classic arrangements and new contest-winning entries.
