Today’s Front-Page Headline (1)

[0:00] (Bunbunmaru) Bringing you recent news, this is Bunbunmaru!
The fastest news in Gensokyo!

[0:05] “The state of matters has not changed, but there are new sightings.
The Leader of Myouren temple has made her move”

[0:11] “Reports say that there are large amounts of Youkai moving all around Gensokyo”

[0:16] “Has the invasion begun? There is no reaction
From the Hakurei Shrine from what we know”

[0:22] “For now, Moriya is busy handling affairs
But they’ll be available later”

[0:27] “Human Village has not moved, nor has its state improved.
It seems the humans have lost any hope”

[0:33] “Perhaps they believe the target is the hermits
And the threat of immortality?”

[0:38] “The Tengu are standing by, ready to mobilize
If Gensokyo is found needing some assistance”

[0:43] “For now, we are here to keep you all updated

On the latest news as the swiftest…”

An Unused Location (1)

-in front of Myouren Temple-

[0:00] (Ichirin) Byakuren! There you are! It’s serious!
(Byakuren) Oh? Did something happen today?
(Ichirin) Look at this! There are strange new rumors
(Byakuren) Hm? Then what does the newspaper say?

[0:17] (Ichirin) “Strange Sightings in the village late at night”
“Humans acting strange with no soul”
“Could this be the Myouren Trump Card?”
(Byakuren) So they think it’s Nue or Mamizou?

[0:35] (Ichirin) Yes, some guests asked me when they came in
Murasa says Nue is out with Shou
(Byakuren) But why would they think we’d do this?
(Ichirin) There is something about faith in Gensokyo

[0:52] (Byakuren) It seems that hearts have now been corrupted
We must restore faith to all those in need
Please check on Nue, then spread the word
We will spread the teachings patiently

[1:10] (Ichirin) Alright then. So what about Mamizou?
(Byakuren) I’ll see if I can find her too
(Ichirin) Should we get the others as well?
(Byakuren) No, in fact, remain here you two

[1:26] Unzan, please mind the temple in my stead
Ichirin, can you hold the gate?
Kyouko said she has a “band practice”
(Ichirin) So she is planning to stay out late…

[1:43] (Byakuren) Yes, that is something I plan to address
But for now, visits are for the best
One problem is faith’s divided
I wonder if those two organized this mess

-Byakuren exits-

[2:00] (Ichirin) Well, I hope Shou comes back soon with Nue
We could use her help for today

As avatar of Bishmonten, she would be the center for those who would pray

Shinkirou Orchestra

[0:00] (Bunbunmaru) “Heads up! There are reports of zombie sightings!”
“Humans have lost their faith in Life and Death!”
“Chaos spreads all around Human Village!”
“Who can we turn to to restore order?”
(Kanako) Listen Sanae… I think that it’s best that we stay inside for today…

-in Senkai-

[0:15] (Miko) Seiga, please tell me that your pet is the only Jiangshi
(Seiga) Of course. How could I replace my little precious cutie?
(Miko) So you do not know anything about this?
(Seiga) Oh my, it seems something is amiss

-in Myouren Temple-

[0:31] (Ichirin) Not good, have you seen Nue or Mamizou?
(Murasa) Nue? She was with Shou and Nazrin
But I haven’t seen Mamizou around for a couple of days
Talk to Byakuren, she was out by the bell
Unzan was going over there as well
(Ichirin) If you see them, send them to me
Thanks for the help!

-in Hakurei Shrine-

[0:48] (Reimu) It’s another boring day, but something feels too weird
All my intuition says that something’s going on
… Oh wait, I can just stay here if it’s about faith
Kanako’s shrine takes up all the faith

-elsewhere-

[1:04] (Marisa) Kourin said the humans were bein’ odd

(Nitori) Come on! My cucumbers are the freshest around!

(Mamizou) Alright, you guys got what the plan is for now?

(??) Oh, look at something someone dropped right here
Oh, it feels nice and warm. This thing I found

Dance of Bird and Beast

[0:00] (Kyouko) Alright, we’re here! So let’s start with the show!
We’ll keep singing out to Gensokyo
(Mystia) Punk Rock is life, Mystia and Kyouko
Hear all the sounds of a frustrated soul!

[0:12] (Reimu) One more “concert”? Oh, her there, Byakuren
(Byakuren) I see that Kyouko is at it again
I didn’t know that you enjoyed this, “band”
(Reimu) No, I got called cause it’s too out of hand

[0:25] Get them to stop. Their noise is awful
(Byakuren) That Mystia is a bad example

[0:31] (Mystia) Stupid Tengu come by and start a rumor
We need to close the sky above the temple sooner
Claiming that we will start a Youkai invasion
Is just stupid and Shou is losing all her patience

[0:42] (Mystia) Tanuki come and skip out on their food bill
I tried to ban them, but that is impossible
They just come back in disguise, sometimes nightly
I have had it with all of all their stupid tree leaves

[0:54] (Reimu) Well, just go and shut them down
Their concerts are waking up half the town
(Byakuren) That’s not really a right of mine
Kyouko has done all of this only on her personal time
(Reimu) Well then, I guess I’ll do it
I’ll go down and talk to them for a bit
(Byakuren) that would be best. I think this route
Would be best if we all talk this out

[1:19] (Mystia) And the stupid shrine maiden…
(Kyouko) Stupid Miko!
(Mystia) Came by last night to break us up again
She started shooting at the crowd
Saying that the humans said we were being way too loud
(Kyouko) That’s why no one will donate
(Mystia) She has no money too
(Kyouko) Everyone with sense is way too afraid
(Reimu) Oh, that is it. Now, [Spirit Sign]
(Byakuren) Somehow, I find I’m not surprised

[1:43] (Kyouko) Look out! She’s here!
(Mystia) Scatter and get clear!
(Byakuren) I’ll just leave now. She’ll sort all this out

[2:00] (Neutral) All the complaints kept coming to the shrine
So for a month, Reimu spent her time
Breaking it up every couple of days
While getting heckled in all sorts of ways

[2:12] Punk Rock, a concert of frustrated souls
Caused some problems until it got old
Still, over time it was widely ignored
After most of the Youkai got bored

Futatsuiwa from Sado

[0:00] (Mamizou) Alright, come on, no time to waste
Let’s see how you handle a chase!
Come and catch me if you’re able
(Reimu) She slipped right through all that rabble

[0:07] (Marisa) Not a problem! Go, [Master Spark]!
(Reimu) Marisa, that’s not really smart
(Sanae) Sorry, it’s a Danmaku duel
(Primate Youkai) Hey, you should be careful, you fool!

[0:12] (Reimu) Marisa, you’ll start off a riot!
(Primate) Watch it human, you’re outnumbered
(Marisa) Hey, I thought that that’d make them scatter
Or at least fry her with the horde
(Youmu) Didn’t she say she’d use disguises?
I guess that means she looks different
(Sanae) Excuse me, everyone! Did you see
Where that Ring-tailed Tanuki went?

[0:24] (Reimu) Sanae, don’t bother
(Primate) Were you listening to me, foolish human?
(Reimu) You still have your old tail out
(Primate) [Primate Danmaku Transformation]!
(Mamizou) That’s one down! So let’s get serious!
Watch and learn, half-youkai. Ferocity is key!
[Carnivorous Danmaku Transformation] shows a feral beast

-[Wolf] attacks Youmu-

[0:48] (Neutral) Spinning to face a changed reflection
Running to chase an odd stranger
Without a trace, they vanish swiftly
That’s how you lose to a trickster
Leaves made to look like paper money
Bombs made of people marching on
That is the power of Tanuki
Blink once and then it might be gone

-Marisa takes off-

[1:01] (Mamizou) [Avian Danmaku]! Come on down and let’s both party for a bit!
(Marisa) Nah, if that’s all you got then I won’t until you tag me as it!
(Mamizou) Now, what about you then? Oh my, that is a nice looking frog-shaped hairpin…
Let’s make this a [Fourth Duel: Amphibian Danmaku]!

[1:24] (Reimu) Huh, so this is their trump card
(Marisa) Gotta say, you’re really not that strong
(Mamizou) Well, if it’s just power, that’s not why I came along
That saint can hear desires, and it’s said she can hear 10 at once
But I’ve got 10 forms. Now here’s the next one!

[1:48] [Frolicking Animals]! Shall we dance and revel till the dawn?
(Reimu) Well I know someone who might take you on
Still, you should be punished for impersonating a miko
Now, stand and face judgment!
(Mamizou) Really? Is that so?

-Animal Danmaku appear-

[2:23] [Danmaku in Ten Transformations]! Ready or not, now come at me!
(Marisa) I can’t decide which ones to shoot at
(Reimu) Shoot at the ones what you can see
(Sanae) [Grey Thaumaturgy]! Not on the left!
(Youmu) [Voidness Sword: Slash]! Nor on the right!
(Mamizou) [Pseudo-Exorcism of the Stupid Shrine Maiden]!
(Reimu) Now it’s a fight!

[2:36] (Mamizou) [Full Moon Pompokolin]! Can you keep up with a real night celebration?
(Reimu) It’s nowhere near Suika’s pace
(Marisa) Alright, cover me! I’m going in!

[2:47] (Sanae) Which one’s not like the rest? Ah, I see
There’s one that’s moving much faster
Marisa, the left side! The fast one must be her!

[3:00] (Neutral) Let’s spin around in a big circle
Let’s make this night a festival
Let the drumbeats lead you on faster
Till you feel the beat in your soul

[3:05] Ancient, but somehow keeping modern
Archaic speech with lots of fun
Does it matter with this Tanuki
Dancing to the beat of this drum?

-Mamizou defeated-

[3:12] (Mamizou) Now you are getting it. Don’t forget the fierceness of Youkai even now
(Reimu) If you start something so soon, I will come over and drive you out

[3:23] (Mamizou) Hey, I’m not here to act. I was called in from an old friend, a just-in-case
And it’s quite peaceful here, around this temple space

[3:35] So you don’t mind Youkai?
(Sanae) Our shrine caters to the whole mountain
(Mamizou) I must say, you’re strong, even for humans
I once held sway over a third of all Japan’s Tanuki
Perhaps that’s the past. I admit defeat

[4:00] (Sanae) Um, may I say something?
(Mamizou) Is this a call for Tanuki stew?
(Sanae) No, it’s not that. It’s regarding you…
Getting depressed like that won’t solve anything if you are weak
(Mamizou) I think you’re confused. That’s just how I speak…

Die Die Die (A Touhou Parody of "Bye Bye Bye" by N'Sync ft. Mukou and Kaguya)

Mukou… die, die, die!

[Boom!] Huh, is that all you’ve got?
Hey, come on, give me your best shot
Now, give me one good reason not to go home

Well, so you understand
You look just like a man, so
Maybe that’s a reason you live alone

Say, you remind me of this man, a suitor of mine
Hey, what was the name of that guy?
That’s it, die die, die!

And I wouldn’t mock friends if I were you
Far as I know, you are stuck with only two
Being exiled for your whole life
You should die, die, die!

So what? I did well enough back in the day
Almost became your mom in a crazy way
… Need to forget that. Just, really? Why?
Haha, die, die, die!

… Hey, you know it’s the truth, but
Really I didn’t want to, still…
Yeah, I know that much, but really? Come on

What? I’d be a good mom!
Oh? What planet are they on?
You… life would be much better once you’re gone

Hah, no chance of that. You forget why I’m still alive?
I’m sure that I can find some way, so then die, die die!

[Die Die] Endless murder over centuries
Every couple days ends in fatalities
I still hate you!
After all this time?
Of course! Die, die, die!

[Die Die] You know, my old life was really tough
Why’d you send my father out to get that stuff?
You don’t know what all those men were like
So just die, die die!

I’ll never give up, I am sure
That killing Kaguya’s the purpose that I live for
Mukou’s too frustrating, but I don’t want to end this too soon
So I won’t give up

There’s no one else who will do
In our game for two
So don’t you leave me behind

Don’t tell me you’ve had enough
You think you’re hot stuff?
Give it one more try, ready?

This matchup here is nothing new
This is just something that works, a game for two
I don’t care about the duel
It’s just you and I, so just die die die

The routine is part of my schedule
Isn’t immortality just wonderful?
You’ve gone crazy, so just stand and fight
Ready? Die, die, die!

Those two need a hobby or a job
No chance of that happening. And now they’re off
They’re quite happy, so just let it lie
Die, die, die!

Punk (A Touhou Parody of "Pop" by N'Sync, ft Choujuu Gigaku)

[Youkai Punk]

Sick and tired of sweeping stairs and being chased around
Welcome to the Punk Life and Bird and Beast’s new sound
We don’t care about complaints and who the song might offend
“Just a Stage 2 Boss” is good enough, so all you losers should listen!

It doesn’t matter about my sales approach or the stuff that my stand sells
It’s an eel stand! If you want chicken, then you can go to hell
It doesn’t matter about the venue or when we play and why
And everyone says it’s too noisy, but yelling “Hello!” is fine?!

Choujuu Gigaku’s on stage!
So hear how our souls rage
Punk is the newest craze
It echoes till we cover Gensokyo
Mystia and Kyouko
Are you ready? Here we go!
This might be Punk

Youkai come up to the temple every day
But they don’t want to learn to pray

Why’s enlightenment a type of fad to Youkai and Fairies?
We don’t have time for your jokes. Come to take it seriously

Tired of greeting idiots who only want to see
I'm not supposed to fight our visitors, but it gets too tempting

It doesn’t matter why they come over or if they pick a fight
Byakuren says that the Dharma wills that violence isn’t right
I got knocked down by that foggy cloud. They say it’s that oni
Wouldn’t you know? Everyone else was just fine that day, it was just me!

Cirno’s always picking fights
and throwing around ice
It shuts me down all night, and Wriggle’s no help
Bugs don’t seem too clean
So people just blame me
My stand’s getting too empty
This must be Punk

What do you guys think then?

It’s the Dance of Bird and Beast
So come and sing with me
Let your soul roar freely and let them hear you
Voice all your complaints
What’s the point of restraint?
We’re all Youkai anyway, come on now
This must be…

Do you hear that, Gensokyo?
We won’t just let it go
Listen to this echo
Eat Grilled Lamprey Eel!

Wait, that’s not the point
All of us are annoyed
Our feelings put to noise
This must be, Punk
