Given the vast array of Touhou media, including games, manga, anime, and fan works, "Reimu Gets Brainwashed -Final- -Kei kei kei loan-" could be part of an official storyline or, more likely, a fan creation.

The title suggests a narrative involving Reimu Hakurei, a main protagonist of the series, known for her role as a shrine maiden at the Hakurei Shrine. The story seems to imply a theme of brainwashing, a process where an individual's will is taken away, often replaced by another's thoughts, desires, or ideology, typically through coercive or manipulative means.


Dark background on some thumbnails

Clear your Explorer thumbnail cache (see above) or copy the file to a different location.

This is a bug in Windows 10 that also affects other thumbnails – for example transparent PNG images here and here.

I can’t do anything in my program to work around it, I’m afraid. Please use the Windows 10 feedback function to report this to Microsoft. If enough users do it, they may eventually fix it. Windows 7 does not have this bug.
