Do you see black on all sides or just black on the left & right sides?
Black on all sides can be resolved in your graphics driver settings. Change your screen resolution to 1280x960 and make sure the scaling mode is set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio" or something like that, then go back to 1920x1080. Relaunch Touhou 16 and it should be properly fullscreen.
Black on just the left & right sides is normal. A 4:3 game should not be stretched to fill a 16:9 monitor.

>4:3
>normal

What year is it?

Seriously, though. If the highest res available was 1280x720 instead of 1280x960, that'd allow the game scale properly for the majority of 16:9 monitors in fullscreen mode. Why this isn't the case already is beyond my capability to comprehend.

And yes, Zun is drunk when making this. Don't think about it too much.

oh. huh.
Try making a custom 1280x960 resolution in your graphics drivers.

It would be nice to have, but consider the fact that this game is a verticle shmup. Having the increased resolution not being used would seem like a waste of effort to an indie game dev.

How is going from 1280x960 to 1280x720, increasing the resolution?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ duh, I think I misread your post. Still, an indie game dev should know why 1280x720 is a better option, instead of putting effort into something that'll scale pretty bad on the vast majority of modern widescreen displays.

Uh... in actuality it would actually decrease the resolution. The fact of matter is, 1280 x 960 is an uncommon resolution in monitors. I'd prefer 1280 x 720 of course, but since ZUN is drunk when making this, best not to think too much about his decision.

Yea, I misread that, whenever I hear 21:9 ratios my thought process suddenly goes towards bigger resolutions.

What I meant to say was increased horizontal ratio in a verticle shmup.

you think 1280x960 is uncommon, try the 960x720 resolution in the config. Guaranteed to not work properly on any PC.

Ha, I can't argue with that.
