IOSYS (イオシス, ioshisu^?) are a Japanese musical ensemble and dōjin circle from Sapporo, Japan. The group produced the majority of remixed 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.^[1]

[edit] Flash videos

IOSYS are generally best known for the Flash movies that go along with their songs, the most widely known of which are "Stops at the diseased part and melts quickly ~ Lunatic Undongein (患部で止まってすぐ溶ける　～ 狂気の優曇華院, kanbu de tomatte sugu tokete ~ kyōki undongein^?)" and "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing (魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました, Marisa Stole the Precious Thing^?)," both of which are popular on the Japanese Internet forum 2channel, Nico Nico Douga and in other otaku internet circles.
