Afterwards [Youmu/Yuyuko/Yukari]: Party at Hakugyokurou

[0:31] (Youmu) Pardon me, Miss Yuyuko, but Miss Yukari has arrived
(Yuyuko) Send her in then. My, Yukari, this is quite a big surprise
You look like you had a fight. Did humans visit tonight?
I assume their performance had concluded alright?

[0:46] (Yukari)Yes, those three were quite impressive if a little impatient
Overall, it was a battle that was rather well spent
I did what I planned to do, lecture and preach to Reimu
Though I have to wonder if she picked up my intent

[1:00] (Youmu) Excuse me, here is the tea and a plate of other snacks
(Yuyuko) Come on, Youmu. I order you to sit and relax!
So is this Reimu the one you donate to all the time
When you go check on that shrine?

[1:16] (Yukari) Yes, she is someone we need to preserve to guard our precious border
And she’s quite good at solving problems for me
But then you two observed that for yourself just over a week back
She is strong, don’t you agree?

[1:31] (Yuyuko) Yes, I concur. All three of them were quite impressive
Just like cute Youmu here, they were rather good
What did you think of fighting them? (Youmu) They didn’t falter for one step
Though I did all that I could

[1:47] (Yuyuko) Well then I have decided. You have to participate next time
Go out and fight the next time something is wrong
(Youmu) Well then, with your permission, I’ll be prepared to go to battle
(Yuyuko) If it’s fun, I’ll come along

[2:01] Speaking of that, Yukari, I have to ask
Why did you assist me in my recent task?

[2:16] Why did you agree to weaken every border and
Allow Youmu passage into Gensokyo then?
Why were you allowing something like our tree
To be unsealed completely and come to bloom once again?

[2:32] (Yukari) To be quite honest, I had known everything
That is why I let you gather up the spring
You had to see for yourself that one “someone”
So you could comprehend what you once had done

[3:01] You see, in life you had held the same ability
But you had feared what that gift might someday be
So you chose to end it with a final act of suicide then
And were used to seal that tree

[4:01] (Yukari) So, are you going to fix the border soon?
Everyone complains that ghosts keep visiting…

Necrofantasia

[0:01] (Yukari) Beyond the borders of everything that you can see
This is my land of Sequestered Fantasy
Before I think of letting the three of you turn and go
I'd like to test the Miko

[0:11] You know that the shrine that you own is a point on the Hakurei Border
And it must always be maintained with great care
As the last of your line, you must show me that it is in good hands
So be on guard and prepare

[0:24] (Reimu) Why do you care? A Youkai's a Youkai
Everything's fine like it is. It's under control
(Marisa) Well, 'cept no one actually donates
And there's always Youkai there, not humans... So...

[0:48] (Yukari) That's a surprise. Can't you drive them away then they come?
Or are you slacking on your duty? Miko chores require discipline
(Reimu) I get by with some requests, it's not that bad!
You're the one who's causing problems anyway, so let's begin

[1:12] (Yukari) Well then, [Barrier: Curse of Dreams and Reality]
There are many things that you must learn, so it would seem
Once more, [Barrier: Balance of Motion and Stillness]
Sometimes you must idle patiently

[1:37] [Sinister Spirits: Double Black Death Butterfly] card
You must learn to keep fighting on, even when it's hard
Like the life you lead, [Boundary of Humans and Youkai]
Coexistence might be worth a try

[2:01] (Reimu) Well, this is really weird. It's like she just
Wants to lecture us on things she thinks that we should know
(Sakuya) No, it seems like she's focusing on you
All those tasks are things that you should do

[2:24] (Marisa) Nah, I don't just give up, so that lesson
About butterfly swarms' meant to remind me that I'm tough
(Yukari) True. You're quite diligent for a human
Just be sure your power's strong enough

[2:47] If you embrace the duty that's held within your blood
Then you have to fight me using everything you've got
Show me all of the power you have, young Hakurei girl
Are you a Miko or not?

[2:59] It's not a matter of "might" or "perhaps", it's one of "will"
Although you're human, you can prevail on skill
You are the one that holds balance here, you know
Keeping peace in Gensokyo

[3:09] (Marisa) You’d think that some weird Youkai wouldn’t make sense
But she’s making some sense here. I’d say that she’s right
(Reimu) Hey, I started the Spellcard System! It’s worked out
perfectly so far in a fight

[3:32] (Yukari) Well as long as you understand what to do
I suppose that’s good enough for me. Time to have some fun with you
(Sakuya) Where did such a carefree Youkai just appear?
(Yukari) Somewhere on the North-East edge, but you’re never make it there

[3:57] One more [Barrier: Boundary of Life and Death] now
This is what it looks like if you three were curious
And then [Yukari’s Arcanum: Danmaku Barrier]
This last card shows that I’m serious

[4:21] (Sakuya) So then was that all? 
(Yukari) Yes, I don’t need to go all out
Against an untrained Miko and two unruly thieves
(Sakuya) Don’t call me a thief 
(Yukari) Though my house is rather empty
It’s worth more than what the shrine receives

[4:44] (Marisa) So, what things do ya got, if you’re sleepin’?
(Yukari) My house if filled with nice things like my bed and pillow
Oh, I suppose children sometimes appear
(Sakuya) You’d better put them back where they go

[5:07] (Reimu) So, that’s enough for now?
You were going to fix all the holes, so that just a waste of time?
(Yukari) No, there were things that you needed to hear
So… shouldn’t you head back to your shrine?

Charming Dominion ~ Who done it ~

[0:28] (Marisa) Alright, let’s try again. Time for a round two
Let’s make sure this problem ends today
(Reimu) (She stopped at that one door just like twice before
And now she wants to play?)

-Ran enters-

[0:40] (Ran) Ugh, not you three again. I was just about
To go to bed, not look for a fight
(Reimu) Well as we had promised, we returned
then it became night

-Ran defeated. Yukari enters-

[1:18] (Yukari) Well I have to say that was interesting to see
It’s not often that Ran-san is at a loss
(Reimu) It is high time that the truth announced it’s appearance
(Marisa) So are ya the one that’s going to be the final boss?

[1:31] (Yukari) If that’s what you three came this way for
I’ll be the one you face
(Sakuya) Is this how laws are regulated?
(Yukari) There is no law in this place

[1:44] And it’s not like a death penalty
Cows the evil, of course
(Sakuya) What if one of the Yama came by?
(Yukari) You could just beat them by force

[1:56] (Reimu) Either way, you’ve come
We’ve been searching, you know
(Yukari) You’re the humans who defeated Ran
It’s not like I’d let you go

[2:08] (Marisa) Like ya could if you’re always asleep
(Reimu) And she started it first!
(Yukari) In that case, I’ll continue the rage
I’m sure I’d make it worse

[2:46] (Marisa) So, are ya gonna fight, or ya gonna run?
Either way, just make sure that it’s fun
(Yukari) Oh, you’ve not noticed yet? This conflict of ours
Has now begun

[3:04] (Marisa) What? This little warm-up? That won’t be enough
To make things worth a spellcard or two
(Yukari) It wouldn’t be too fair if I didn’t share
What I can do

[3:37] As you see, my specialty’s playing with the lines of boundaries
Are you from the Glorious Hakurei Shrine?
(Reimu) Yes I am, but that’s not quite the way people put it
I would say that is doing “Sort-of fine”

[3:51] (Yukari) Well, not quite. There’s a hole emerging
In the North-East, you see
Just like the borders between life and death
It might give completely

[4:03] (Reimu) Nice to know, sounds like quite a problem
Thanks for passing that hint
(Yukari) No, no, I see that you’re mistaken
I’m the one doing it

[4:15] (Reimu) Well, then go fix it! That’s the reason we came
While you’re at it, fix the Netherworld. It should be just the same

[4:27] (Yukari) In due time, but something just came up
I think you need a test
After all, you’re exterminators
So, show me you’re the best

A Maiden’s Illusionary Funeral ~ NecroFantasy

[0:00] (Ran) To avenge Chen, I will gladly defeat you
It won’t be a problem for me
You are the ones who had shot her down twice now
To make her a sad sight to see

[0:12] Eye for an eye, I will do the same to you
And Black-White cannot “get” a thing
You three will be too awful to look at
Till you cannot do anything

[0:23] (Reimu) If you are only a mere shikigami of
The person that we now seek
Doesn’t that mean that you are really easy
And overall kinda weak?
(Sakuya) Don’t forget that she has her own familiar
This one cannot be shrugged aside
(Marisa) Either way, I’m gonna go all-out right now
Come on! Show us your Shikigami Pride!

[0:47] (Ran) Very well, we’ll see. Here’s my card sign [Shikigami]
Feel the honor of being caught in [Fox Hermit Thoughts]
Now [Shikigami], feast your eyes and start to be awed
Here’s [Banquet of Twelve General Gods]

[1:10] Prepare your defense! Here’s [Shikigami Radiance:
Fox-Tanuki Laser] burns away all illusions
Now done once again, here’s [Shikigami Radiance:
Charming Siege from all Sides] now begins

[1:33] (Reimu) Why does she keep throwing puns at her spellcards?
Is that just a personal thing?
(Marisa) Maybe it’s something her mistress has ordered?
At least it makes things interesting

[1:45] (Sakuya) Doing something foolish just for a mistress
That seems like it doesn’t make sense
(Reimu) Oh yeah, let’s look at who’s talking
(Marisa) You’re pretty wacky, Sakuya. But no offense

[1:58] (Ran) It was something ordered when mistress was bored
“Ran-san, if someone comes, just try to make them cringe”
“And how should I accomplish that result?”
“Just keep using puns, it’ll be a cinch!”

[2:21] (Marisa) Sounds like a huge drag. I don’t mean to brag, but taunting
Is something ya hafta do before ya choose a card
(Reimu) Don’t listen to her! Her words are never important
(To Marisa) You’re the reason things end up so hard!

[2:44] (Sakuya) Still your discipline is quite admirable if you can
Both keep track of wordplay and your spellcard’s magic strength
(Ran) Such an exercise is nothing for Shikigami
I once determined the Sanzu’s length

[3:08] [Shikigami Shot: Unilateral Contact] strike
That’s what happens when I’m able to do as I like
… It’s long enough then. [Shikigami: Chen] is ready
Show them your full strength in front of me!

[4:19] (Reimu) ALRIGHT! That’s enough! Three times shows she’s not really tough
Seriously, that cat is getting on my nerves again
(Ran) Well to tell the truth, she’s not quite a Shikigami
No matter what, I’m stronger than Chen

[4:42] (Marisa) Isn’t that normal? After all, you are her mistress
(Ran) Yes, but Shikigami equal our strength when possessed
Though she won’t obey every order that I give her
When it comes to her growth, I’m impressed

[5:30] Now then, [Illusion God: Descent of
Izuna Gorgen] is the last thing that I’ll throw at you
(Sakuya) Ha! That’s no problem, we claim victory!
Now, is your mistress coming for you?

[5:54] (Ran) No, we’d have to leave. We’d have to go back to the hills
To wake mistress up is she sleeps and we’re both not near
(Marisa) What a freakin’ pain. Why didn’t ya try to explain
That before we flew all the way here?

[6:17] (Ran) I guess I won? I managed to irritate you
And that’s what the mistress said I was ordered to do
(Reimu) You mean to tell me… that tomorrow we have to come
Back here and redo this COMPLETELY?!

[6:46] (Ran) Yes, I’m afraid so. I was just shot down for nothing
(Reimu) Seriously, why can’t this situation be solved yet?
(Sakuya) Wake her properly and we’ll visit, definitely
(Marisa) Have fun setting up for your banquet!

Charming Domination


-Netherworld-

[0:27] (Marisa) Geez, finally we got back to this place
How the hell were we s’posed to just drop by?
(Reimu) It’s not like we’re supposed to be able
And you forgot to fly

[0:40] (Sakuya) Still we must hurry to fix the border
Else all those ghosts will never go away
(Marisa) Ah, Reimu’s shrine was actually busy
It was popular today

-Chen enters-

[1:17] (Chen) Finally we meet again! I’m much stronger than the last time!
[Oni God: Soaring Bishamonten]
(Marisa) Well it looks like we’re on the right track if we have to fight
Are ya now prepared to lose again?

-Chen defeated, exits. Ran enters-

[1:29] (Reimu) Alright then, why did we all come here
Wasn’t that the familiar?
(Ran) Actually, she’s a shikigami
So why are you all here?

[1:42] (Reimu) What do you mean? Why shouldn’t we be here?
(Ran) Because you are alive
Or… Maybe? I might be mistaken
Are you all ghosts inside?

[1:55] (Sakuya) Appearance is enough for someone to judge
Apparently, you’re a fox Youkai?
(Ran) Are you a dog then?
(Sakuya) Why?

[2:08] (Reimu) Dog, cat, fox, when did this place become
An animal menagerie?
(Ran) I am here on important business
(Marisa) Fancy that! So are we!

[2:44] (Ran) So, have you seen a cat? You mentioned that
You ran into someone on your way here
She was supposed to help set up now
But she disappeared

[2:57] (Marisa) Yeah, we just shot her down, she’s still
On the ground back aways, like 5 minutes or so
(Ran) Hey, you three are the jerks that had beat
Her up 10 days ago!

[3:32] (Reimu) So are you someone who can repair broken borders
(Ran) Why do you ask? What will you plan to do?
(Sakuya) We were supposed to come and try to “motivate” her
(Ran) There’s no way I’d help the likes of you

[3:46] (Reimu) So then, are you the one that can help?
(Ran) No, that one’s my mistress
(Marisa) You can also use Shikigami?
How can that state exist?

[4:01] Is it something like Cannibalism?
(Ran) I didn’t say that I EAT her!
(Reimu) Either way, just call for your mistress
(Ran) She is sleeping for sure

[4:12] (Sakuya) Then, shall we defeat you
And hope she wakes afterwards?
(Ran) I am leagues above the three of you
That idea is absurd!

[4:24] (Marisa) Hey, we just beat up your familiar
This will be a piece of cake
(Ran) I’m different by digits and colors
You have made a mistake

Sakura Sakura ~ Japanize Dream

[0:00] (Neutral) At the shrine the later on, five guests came to view flowers in the sky
A vampire and her maid, and the witch with two ghost passing by

[0:26] (Reimu) What are all of you doing? I have to sweep today
The front yard is a mess from all the flowers. Go away
 (Marisa) It’s not like you’ll get visitors, so
Why don’t ya wait until tomorrow?

[0:40] (Reimu) You don’t know that! And that’s why there can’t be Youkai here
People get scared off, so why don’t you disappear
(Yuyuko) But the trees are perfectly blooming because it’s spring!

[1:21] (Neutral) Though the spring had returned
There were things that left people concerned

[1:34] (Reimu) Well then, how about the gardener
helps me clean up the mess this garden’s scattered
(Youmu) I will not, though your regard is nice.
I am flattered

[1:47] (Yuyuko) Speaking of a little help, I have a job for you
The border between here and home is still gone
(Remilia) How did that become a big issue?
(Marisa, Yuyuko, Sakuya) It was Reimu
(Reimu) Oh, come on!

[2:28] Guess we’ll fix this somehow…
(Youmu) There’s someone at the Netherworld now

Border of Life

[0:00] (Neutral) At last the seal on the tree was overcome
Those four looked on to see who was that “someone”

[0:28] (Yuyuko) Ah, now I see who was sealed beneath this Youkai tree
I understand why I stay here perfectly
Though I have to wonder why it was a mystery
The corpse that was sealed here was the corpse of me!

[0:50] (Reimu) That’s not good, this tree feels weird and evil
It must be sealed again
(Marisa) I don’t think it’s gonna be that easy
(Yuyuko) I will not allow that to happen

[1:04] I’ll fight you three here earnestly
[Repository of Hirokawa – False Soul -]
To be resealed, I won’t permit
Increased all the way to [Divine Spirit]

[1:17] My butterflies may fill up the skies
Will you give up if you’re caught where they all cross?
And by design, for this time
[Perfect Ink: Black Cherry Blossom – Self Loss -]

[1:29] (Reimu) What’s that tree doing? It feels like all my energy is being drained
(Sakuya) And there goes any spring that still remained
(Marisa) Can ya get past her spell?
(Sakuya) If we seal the tree, then maybe she will lose her spring as well
(Reimu) Worth a shot. On the count of three, let’s give her everything we got

[2:07] (Yuyuko) That won’t be enough, just enjoy the nice view
I’ll come and join you when I’m reborn anew

[2:32] (Reimu) Well we can’t let that happen, this tree’s and evil threat
(Yuyuko) You haven’t seen what I’m capable of yet
(Marisa) Reimu, slip past and start sealing when I call my mark
Heads up then, Corpse-girl! Here comes my [Master Spark]!

[2:58] (Sakuya) So what’s next?
(Marisa) We have to keep her busy
Let Reimu do her thing
And that means we hafta take this assault
(Sakuya) Well, isn’t this new problem all your fault?

[3:11] (Yuyuko) [Resurrection Butterfly] then
This is the last card before this battle ends
In this grand [Reflowering]
Flowing with the elegant warmth of Spring!

[3:23] (Sakuya) If you’re a corpse, then won’t you die?
(Marisa) I don’t think that tree would let ya revive…
(Yuyuko) …Yes, that looks like that part is true
I’m not really sure what else I can do

-Yuyuko defeated-

[3:36] Anyways, what shall you three do about
Our tree that continues to grow?
(Reimu) [Spirit Sign: Fantasy Seal]
(Marisa) There she goes
(Yuyuko) That’s a shame, there goes all of the
Flowers that were blooming all over Hakugyokurou
It was hard to arrange this viewing, don’t you know?

[4:13] (Reimu) So is the spring going back to Gensokyo?
(Yuyuko) I have no idea, but I imagine so

Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome ~ Border of Life

[0:00] (Neutral) Deep within the Netherworld, there lies a tree
Who might the corpse sealed underneath its roots be?

[0:26] (Reimu) So what are going to do with the spring that you stole?
(Yuyuko) I’ll break the seal and this tree will bloom with life
(Reimu) Doesn’t a seal mean that you should leave that thing alone?
(Yuyuko) Didn’t you just break up our seal on your own?

[0:51] (Marisa) Are ya sure this tree will flower today?
(Sakuya) It appears withered away
(Yuyuko) That’s a seal that’s anchored to a corpse laid
At the roots, or so they all say

[1:04] I wish to bring that corpse to life
After all, both life and death are my right
(Reimu) And why do you think that’s okay?
Do you even know who’s there anyway?

(Yuyuko) Well I invite death just for fun
So I think it’s fine for that “certain someone”
(Marisa) Wait, there’s a corpse beneath the tree?
(Yuyuko) … I think you lagged behind us too easily

[1:29] Well then, shall we settle with
And unmatched graceful magic display?
Either way, spring will be released today

[1:42] (Sakuya) Either way, I will not leave before I see flowers, rotting princess of a soul
(Yuyuko) I’ll unseal the tree, you dog of the devil!

[2:07] That spring will be mine, I’ll meet who lies within
Prepare yourself now! Let this contest begin!

[2:32] [Losing Hometown: Village of Self-loss – Wandering Soul -]
It seems like your spring’s not under your control
(Marisa) What do you mean, is there something like a magic charm?
(Yuyuko) Supernatural Borders shield you from harm

[2:58] (Sakuya) Don’t be fooled! Why should we trust what she says?
(Marisa) Hey, it works! No need to graze!
(Reimu) Seriously, I don’t think we can trust her!
(Yuyuko) But you see it works for sure

[3:11] Now spare a glance for [Deadly Dance:
Law of Mortality – Bewilderment-]
And if it should catch your eye
[Law of Mortality – Dead Butterfly -]

[3:23] These spellcard duels are much more fun
To show off power without hurting someone
And I don’t have to make you die
[Flower Soul: Swallowtail Butterfly]

[3:36] (Marisa) That’s not hard, these borders let me fly right through your huge-ass spellcards
They’re nothing as long as I have some spring!

[3:48] (Reimu) … Marisa, how much spring do you lose when you put up another border?
(Sakuya) And where does that spring go when you take another blow?

[4:14] (Yuyuko) Thank you for all the spring to release the seal
Now let’s see who the tree’s blossom will reveal!

Ultimate Truth

[0:18] (??) Can you three clearly see how this world now is lively and so gorgeous?
But even now it is missing one thing
(Marisa) Oh, that’s right. Youmu said that was why she went and attacked us
I’ve got it right here, that last drop of spring

-Yuyuko enters-

[0:36] (Yuyuko) Ah, so then would you like to take Youmu’s place by my side?
(Sakuya) I warn you, it’s no use. She cannot clean
(Marisa) No way, I’d hate this place
(Yuyuko) How about just a temporary job?
(Marisa) (Somehow I don’t think she’s listening to me)

[1:12] (Yuyuko) Did you come for the view? We still have many empty spaces
(Reimu) Oh, really? Well then, let’s go have a look
(Yuyuko) You’re still not invited
(Reimu) Oh, right now I had just remembered
I’d rather go home with the spring you took!

[1:30] (Sakuya) So that dead girl back there says that we’re now supposed to fight you
(Yuyuko) I guess that Youmu thought this would suffice
(Marisa) If you think we’d give up all this spring without having a fight
You’re dead wrong and you’d better think thrice!

Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?

[0:31] (Youmu) I am the shrine’s half-human gardener
And Konpaku Youmu is my name!
So then I ask, who are you three?
Because it seems our goals are the same

[0:42] We all want to gather up all the spring
In order to have a flower view
So you should yield that spring of yours
And it will be returned with no issue

[0:55] If you do not surrender up your spring
Then I’ll have to take it all by force
Here’s [Fasting of the Young Preta]!
(Marisa) Sounds like it’d break with a second course

[1:00] (Youmu) ! I-I’m not sure what you mean when you say that
(Reimu) Ignore her, she’d just cracking a joke
(Youmu) … Well then, [Ten Kings’ Retribution]
Then [200 Yojana Slashed in 1]!

[1:20] My other sword can show you Nirvana
Past [Obsession with the Present World]!
[Fantasy of Enlightenment]!
Cutting through confusion that you just saw

[1:32] Now you are [Approaching Disillusion]
Your [Acceptance of Eternal Truth]!
[Displeasure of Seven Hakus]
For my mistress I swear I won’t lose!

-Sakuya charges-

[2:15] (Marisa) Geez, now it sounds like there are two of them
(Reimu) Okay.. what are you talking about?
(Marisa) Those servant-types who go through fights
Praising their mistresses all throughout

[2:29] Seems like with a maid and a gardener
The mistress makes them do everything
Sakuya cleans, and now it seems
Like Youmu had to gather the spring

[2:41] (Youmu) [Heaven God Sword: Three Kons, Seven Hakus]!
I won’t yield now that the goal’s within reach
Time for the end!
(Marisa) Time’s stopped again!
(Sakuya) No… It’s just something about perception

[2:52] (Youmu) [A Single Thought and Infinite Kalpas]!...
Well I guess that you have bested me
But I don’t have any more spring
(Marisa) Then take us to see that Youkai Tree!
(Sakuya to Youmu) So will my silver knives cut your mistress?
(Youmu to Sakuya) Wait, why are you planning for a fight?
(Reimu to Marisa) Hey are you sure this plan will work?
(Marisa to Reimu) Don’t worry, it’ll probably be alright

[3:18] (Youmu) Either way, my job will soon be fulfilled
When we’ve brought together all the spring
(But still I feel like something’s wrong)
(Reimu) So is a full bloom a… pleasant thing?

Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple

[0:00] (Neutral) High, up in the clouds, there is a door
What’s held within store?

[0:12] (Reimu) Hey, something’s not right here
The air isn’t clear. Is this Gensokyo? And where should we go?

[0:45] (Sakuya) Didn’t those three sisters say that they were bound
to head out to the Netherworld to play?
It seems that we have just arrived
Among the dead even though we are still alive
(Marisa) Geez, these ghosts are cold
Can things warm up? Because this winter’s getting old
Which way to go?
(Sakuya) Let’s find a foe and force directions from them

[1:12] (Reimu) Hey, look! Up there on that hill
It looks like those cherry blossoms are now in full bloom
(Marisa) Didn’t that magician say
That the spring should be over that way?

[1:26] (Reimu) Look up there! On that stair
There is someone standing up there, standing in our way
(Marisa) Maybe she’s in charge here
If so, we should go beat her up, ~ze

-Youmu enters-

[1:38] (Youmu) So you three are the cause
All the local spirits are in a frenzied uproar
It looks like you’ve brought spring
What is it that you have come here for?

[1:52] (Sakuya) Finally at long last
We have reached the source after a whole day came to pass
Now return all the spring
That you may have stolen and amassed

[2:06] (Youmu) Wait a bit
(Sakuya) That’s too long
(Youmu) Just a bit more and the Ayakashi will bloom
(Marisa) So what’s “Ayakashi”?
(Youmu) Our Youkai tree that will bloom soon

[2:19] So, how did you get here?
(Marisa) We just flew in
(Youmu) That shouldn’t work. We’re sealed off from you

[2:32] (Reimu) Oh, I took that seal down
It opened right up
(Youmu) That meant “Don’t Enter”!
(Sakuya) Clearly it was not enough

[2:46] The dead do not speak
(Reimu) You’ve talked all along
(Youmu) I’m only half-ghost!
(Reimu) That was what was wrong?

[3:05] (Marisa) Anyway, I want to see
What you’ll do to view this Ayakashi tree
(Youmu) You three have not been invited
(Marisa) Oh, come on! I am really interested

[3:20] What if I took all of the spring
And I made everything bloom by myself
(Youmu) That won’t happen, I will not yield
My spring over to anyone else

[3:32] Now then, hand over your spring
That’s the last bit that my mistress ordered me to seek
(Sakuya) Oh, you’re not the mastermind?
Then there’s no more reason we should speak

[3:45] (Youmu) Were you not listening?
I will cut you down if I have to to get your spring
(Reimu) If we died here quickly
Where would we be sent eventually?

[3:58] (Youmu) You would be sent to hell
(Marisa) Oh, so this isn’t hell. I really couldn’t tell
(Youmu) It’s “Hakugyokurou”
The place where the dead and spirits go

[4:12] (Sakuya) So shall we settle this?
I am prepared to fight now if you three are now done
(Youmu) The things that can’t be cut
By my Roukan-Blade are good as none!

[4:25] (Neutral) In this place in full bloom
The Saigyou Ayakashi will flower fully soon
What would that event bring
With the power of the stolen spring?

Phantom Ensemble


Lyrica (Keyboard and guitar bottom)
[0:00] Well the keyboard works the best for the prelude
It sets the tempo and the tone for the mood
My illusion weaves phrases here
And new motifs can now appear

[Nether Keys: Fazioli Nether Performance]
Starts the song and gets the attention of everybody
Then [Bosendorfer Divine Performance] sets the key










[0:36] These two parts built tension for
This piece’s score. But do you know where this motif will go?
Merlin’s got a part that’s yet to start
Enjoy the show!



[0:53] Now let it out!

[0:57] and so it goes!

[1:00] Now take your seats!





[1:08] Where do you think this melody will go?


















As all our instruments now sing!

[1:40] So that is all of part one
Don’t you think that song was fun?
Now the part that comes next will start soon after a small rest
This the place you should take any needed short break
Because after this intermission we’ll begin

[1:52] Luna’s back with support
Harmony for the bass
Though her part has these depressing notes all over the place
We’re setting up again for the main theme once more
So get ready to listen!

[2:04] Without Merlin, it’s calm, but it’s boring that way
I gotta admit that some mania’s okay
Solos are Luna’s thing, and I find them boring
So I’m only going to be vamping

[2:17] Back to theme A once again, it’s the pattern
That we decided that we should have to learn
Part two is next, are you all set
To listen yet? 4,3,2,1

[2:29] Since we play for all the ghosts, since they’re the hosts
We’re used to playing like it’s a funeral
But though they’re dead, it gets real lively, don’t you know?
















[3:13] And now she’s back
Lunasa (Synth? Off to the left)

















[0:24] [String Performance: Guarneri del Gesu] sings
The role of strings is to add voice over the keyboard baseline
[Stradivarius] adds somber tones
But that is fine

[0:36] These two parts built tension for
This piece’s score. But do you know where this motif will go?
Merlin’s got a part that’s yet to start
Enjoy the show!



[0:53] Now let it out!

[0:57] and so it goes!

[1:00] Now take your seats!

It’s written out on three sheets
in this music trio




[1:10] Raising tension is fine.

That responsibility is mine


[1:14] Though our song may not be strong
It should make you want to sing along
Though it won’t matter anyway
Because that is how we play

[1:28] [Noisy Sign:Live Potergeist]
 Before this fight, you should have thought about it thrice
Although this practice doesn’t mean a thing
As all our instruments now sing











[1:52] Well it’s not a … solo…, but I guess it’s good enough






[2:00] Now I guess I should show off my stuff






















[2:40] Now for [Funeral Concert: Prism Concerto]
We let all of these cadenzas all flow
The ghosts listen to the sounds our song can provide

[2:54] Though our 3 parts each may have a different time
Some thing that each of us have made on our own
We play as one at the [Stygian Riverside]


[3:13] And now she’s back
She doesn’t change. She’s always been kinda

Strange even after we play

[3:20] I’m pretty sure she is crazy anyway
[3:23] Still we don’t make a fuss
Because she is one of us

Merlin (Trumpet on the right)


































[0:50] The fanfare starts now with a manic shout!

Throwing our notes in a crescendo all about!
[Trumpet Sign: Hino Phantasm] completes!
As this main melody once more repeats!

[1:03] Now [Nether Trumpet: Ghost Clifford] responds!
Echoing the sound of the mansion that we haunt!
Now layer new themes in the background lines!
To increase tension all the time!

[1:14] An octave jump shows progression unfold!
It shows what the other parts may hold!
Parts lose focus over time!
Passing to another line!

[1:28] Right now Luna’s got hold of the main theme!
Making the tone paint a melancholic scene!
 Now for our [Noisy Sign: Phantasm Dining]
As all our instruments now sing!


























































[3:10] And now I’m playing! The fanfare is back!
Did you miss how my staccato beats would go?
Some mania needs to excite the crowd
That is why I play all my notes so loud!

[3:23] [Ghostly Wheel Concerto Grosso: Revised]!
It’s back again, aren’t you three now surprised?
This spellcard’s harder, so this card is new!
So I don’t see an issue!
[3:33] (Sisters) Now time for the finale
This is the part that you’ve come to see
Our [Great Funeral Concert] played by us
[Ghostly Wheel Grosso: Wondrous]

[3:44] Well then, time to take a bow
You three can go, we’ll let you in now
(Lunasa) Well then ,I guess we’ll see you
At the promised flower-view

[3:57] (Sakuya) So, then. That was rather odd
(Merlin) Don’t you mean “I’m over-awed”?
(Reimu) Don’t decide what we day if you get it wrong anyway

[4:03] (Marisa) That’s just some Youkai stuff
(Sakuya) I think I’ve had enough
(Marisa) You’ll get used to it eventually, ~ze

-Reimu and Sakuya exit-

[4:09] Okay… hey guys, this door won’t budge no matter how hard I shove
(Merlin) It won’t open. We just fly over above
(Marisa) Oh, right… got it. Hey guys, found another way instead
(Merlin)… they both went ahead

-Marisa exits-
