Introduction.
Pretty useless information, but for some reason the questions "How many touhou songs are there ?" and "Why are there so many anime songs ?" pop up quite a bit.
Betting I'm not the first to produce something with the figures and since osu! grows at a fairly constant rate, this information will be invalid in a few weeks or months. But I am pretty certain the ratio will look the same over time. Without another snapshot however, I cannot be certain of this, so I'll leave that as qualified speculation.
Method.
I've tried to keep this as clean as possible by using the genres. But I've added the count of maps matching 'Touhou' because that creeps up every now and again.
All data can be found by simply using the beatmap listings page.
If any of these numbers are wrong off the bat, I apologize in advance. For those interested or lazy, I can attach the worksheet.
Addendum: Motive and Scope.
This is nothing more than a snapshot of the current database of beatmaps on osu! divided into genres. The purpose of producing this was to illuminate the variations seen in the current layout. I am not directing criticism against how X genre is larger or smaller than Y, a question I find irrelevant. It should be noted that, as Luigihann has explained, Techno incorporates all electronic music styles. I would like to encourage the reader to not jump to conclusions and maintain an objective and open mind, these are raw statistics to provide a broad answer to a question I have seen a number of times; but never had the energy to produce statistics for.
In short, this was produced because it seemed like no one else had the initiative to do the research. Pure information, useless as it may be. No ulterior motive from my part.
Snapshot valid 2010-03-07.
