TOHO CLOCK
TOHO CLOCK was a collaborative fan project, organized by “smlif catic”, that created a Touhou Project version of Uniqlo's UNIQLOCK. The project took submissions from April 1, 2010 to May 30, 2010, then ran until approximately April 2014 as the “boxell.jp” domain wasn't renewed.
Summary
The flash had short five-second movies every ten seconds with one-minute arranges, then the theme would change every ten minutes. There were 431 participants, resulting in a total of 348 movies and 295 songs, though some non-serious submissions were excluded. After it was finished, the project organizer “smlif catic” uploaded summary videos of all the movies1)2)3) and arranges4)5)6)7)8) in July 2010.
Much of the appeal behind TOHO CLOCK is that the five-second movies would give the viewer glimpses of everyday life in Gensokyo, while the arranges were generally 'easy' to listen to that it would lull you into a trance-like hypnotic state as the clock continued to tick and tick. It was a simpler time, but now, we have all of these arrange databases and Touhou Project-themed radio stations.

Spinoffs
Chinese version
On January 30, 2015, the Chinese community launched the “TOHO CLOCK 2015” project, which intended to accept submissions indefinitely as the original was limited to a two-month span and didn't have works past Double Spoiler as a result.9) It had a total of 77 participants. The project died with the discontinuation of Flash and went offline sometime after 2022, then the domain was handed over to the THBWiki.
MMD version
In 2015, the “TOHO MMD CLOCK” project was established with a focus on brief MMD animations. It's been a recurring project, but they're mostly just showcase videos.
