Bell of Avicii ~ Infinite Nightmare

-By the Sanzu-

[0:00] (Hatate) Gee, an empty river. Is this supposed to frighten me?
I think that you’re losing it
(Aya) Just… wait and see
(Eiki) Oh, so someone has come on their own
Shall I give you judgment?
(Hatate) It’s that Yama! What’s she doing here?
So that’s what you meant?

[0:31] (Eiki) So, I see your purpose is from rivalry
Both of you have too much pride!
Shall I sentence you to burn your work eternally?
(Aya) You lose if you try to hide!

[0:42] The best picture decides the match and
best reporter! So do you have the guts?
(Hatate) This is child’s play! I’ll get the best shot, so just give up!
(Eiki) Add envy to that! You’ll be forced to read each other’s work
(Aya) She’s being serious
In that case, I must go all out right here
So then, get clear!

-Eiki corners Aya-

[1:55] (Hatate) Look out Aya!
(Eiki) Let me make this clear, Shameimaru
We spoke of this last time
Causing incidents intentionally is a major crime
(Aya) Just get a picture! I’ll bear it for a reporter win
I’ve heard all of my sins
(Hatate) … At least you should know, I respected you
Hands off the Tengu!

-Tengu are fighting Eiki-

[2:56] (Hatate) I got mine!
(Aya) It’s time we both get out of here
(Eiki) You can’t run from all your sins!
(Hatate) Don’t look down on us!
(Aya) You should know that the Crow Tengu
Are all as swift as the wind!

-Aya and Hatate exit-

[3:07] (Eiki) Solid teamwork. Perhaps they will learn some tolerance
But it’s still a problem
After all, it’s time their competition happens to commence

-With Aya and Hatate-

[3:19] (Hatate) Did we get away?
(Aya) I think so. Also, thanks for the save
(Hatate) Of course that’s what I’d do
If I took the shot of the Yama there, it’s be of you!

[3:56] Please tell me that’s it for your subjects
(Aya) What, don’t tell me you’re tired from that
(Hatate) Says the one who’s “starting incidents”
Now I get why your stories are fresh

[4:19] Let’s settle this! It’s time to show off who’s the winner
And better reporter
(Aya) So eager to fall. Very well, let’s go back to our start point
(Hatate) Sure you don’t need to go home to develop your “photos”?
All mine are digital
(Aya) Don’t look down on film. I can view them here inside their roll!

Nemesis Stronghold

-Outside the Myouren temple-

[0:35] (Aya) Well this is the big leagues ahead now
So are you sure you don’t want to go back home now?
(Hatate) There is no reason to
(Aya) Is that so? Well, long ago this monk killed a lot of old Youkai
You don’t need to lose your life for news

[1:03] (Hatate) There’s no way you’ll scare me off
I won’t be scared of some old monk who’s still human
(Kyouko) Oh, visitors? Go in

-entering-

[1:15] (Hatate) A Youkai? So then it’s safe
(Aya) Of course. Didn’t you know I was joking?
The monk is a Youkai… or something

-leaving-

[1:59] (Hatate) Okay, that monk’s weird. But seriously
I’ve yet to see something I’d take seriously
(Aya) I hoped to spare you, but…
There’s no choice. Let’s go see her
Will you stick with it? I may wonder
If you ever will learn when you should give up

[2:25] (Hatate) Pathetic. You won’t scare me. The “Threats” of today
Ended up to be empty
(Aya) Oh, trust me. This one’s real
(Hatate) Sure it is. I’ll call your bluff. Let’s go to your source, that is enough
(Aya) Well, we’ll go if that is how you feel

Youkai Modern Colony

[0:20] (Aya) Come on, it’s only some water here
Don’t tell me you give up now, it’s just a tiny swim
(Hatate) That’s why my power’s better. I can take pictures without going all the way in

-With the Kappa-

[0:33] (Aya) Aya. I’m here to see Nitori
(Kappa) And her?
(Aya) My assistant. She’ll be coming with me
(Hatate) Assistant! As if! I will be coming in to get my hands on her new story

-inside-

[0:46] (Nitori) Aya. Come in!... I don’t think I’ve seen you before
(Aya) Just ignore her. So then, you invited me here for a tour?

[1:00] (Nitori) Oh, right. This way. By the way, do you want a snack?
(Hatate) Well, if you don’t mind, yes
(Nitori) Alright then, I will be right back

[1:12] (Aya) You’re too naïve.
(Hatate) Unlike you, the Kappa’s polite
(Aya) Only after you pay
(Hatate) Wait a second…
(Nitori) Well, Aya’s right

[2:17] (Aya) So, what’s this then?
(Nitori) Oh, my secret weapon. Don’t ask
By the way, I noticed that your phone needs a new case and screen glass
(Hatate) For a price, right?
(Nitori) Naturally, there will be a fee
But with my new upgrades, you will never have to worry!

[2:44] (Hatate) Well, you can see how the future grows as we speak
Tell me Aya, when will you trade in that worthless antique?



The Mystery in Your Town

-In Human Village-

[0:00] (Aya) Huh. You’re late. Don’t tell me you got lost on the way down here?
(Hatate) Don’t get too cocky. Humans aren’t worth the time you know


[0:14] (Aya) Oh really? As expected of a novice reporter
There’s always something to see with humans in Gensokyo

[0:26] Oh hello there, Sanae Kochiya!
I was by your shrine earlier!

-Sanae enters-

[0:33] (Sanae) Hello! Please tell me something hasn’t happened again
(Aya) No, no, just stopped by for a quick picture-taking
(Sanae) Alright, so I guess you’re here for something similar
Oh, and who is this?

[0:45] (Aya) This is-
(Hatate) Hatate Himekaidou, Aya’s better
(Aya) What’s that? Don’t you know you should defer to your seniors?
(Hatate) Nope. So I’ll be taking a picture too

-Hatate pulls out cellphone-

[1:11] (Sanae) What’s that? It’s been a while since I saw modern cell phones!
(Hatate) This is the future that some people cannot embrace
(Aya) More like a tool for those who don’t know their place

-after pictures-

[1:39] (Hatate) Point for me. The age of physical photos is over
You should trade that box in before you go under, Aya

[1:50] (Aya) Not so fast. The quality of the shutter’s important
Your lazy power means your stories are you biggest flaw!

[2:03] (Hatate) Hah, stories are also so meaningless
A picture is all that’s needed!
(Aya) Nonsense! The purpose of articles is to describe!
It’s with language that a story’s story will thrive
(Hatate) As if. Words are only for space and looks

[2:23] (Aya) It’s sad, the level of your delusions and fancies
(Hatate) Not bad. You bored me, and it wasn’t even wordy
(Aya) Well then, I suppose that is that. Let’s go

-headed to Youkai mountain-

[2:50] (Hatate) So, what? You’ve given up and headed home already?
(Aya) Of course not. I have an appointment up on the mountain
Oh, right. Is that piece of junk waterproof?

[3:15] (Hatate) You don’t mean…
(Aya) The Kappa are underwater, of course
This baby’s waterproof and the sides are reinforced
Cheap plastic won’t get you far if you’re shooting in the field
If you ask nicely, I’m sure I can get you a deal

Newshound

-Near  Youkai Mountain-

[0:07] (Aya) That’s it for Marisa. Better put these away
And this roll right here’s for everyone else out today!

[0:12] Time to find some subjects. So who might be shooting?
Well, besides me of course. That’s what I’m always doing

-snaps pictures-
-Hatate enters-

[0:28] Augh, what’s with this picture? Did I set the brightness
too high for Marisa? Better lower it
(Hatate) That’s as far as you go! Since I made it out here
(Aya) Hey, aren’t you that one… huh, I guess I forget

[0:40] (Hatate) Well for your info, I’m from the Kakashi Report
(Aya) Oh, that delusional puny column?
(Hatate) Puny newspaper? That arrogance ends today!
I declare war on you! I’ll make you pay!

-Both exit-
-Nearby-

[1:24] (Aya) Oh, so you’re still around? I thought you went back home
(Hatate) It’s a serious challenge! I’m gathering material
(Aya) You just realized that now? That’s part of reporting
(Hatate) Your subjects are good, but your content’s horrible!

[1:30] (Aya) Stealing my subjects? I can’t let that
Happen. Go find other Youkai!
(Hatate) They’re free to take. So the best shots
Well prove the best reporter is I!

[1:47] (Aya) Hmph, Fledgling! Watch my photography and be awed!
(Hatate) I’ll eat your newspaper and win this year!
(Aya) You’re too young to do it. I guess it can’t be helped
I’ll go all out now and crush you right here!

They Need a Leader (A Touhou parody of "I Need a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler ft Miko Toyosatomimi)

Where have all the statesmen gone and where are all the kings?
Where’s the wizened councilor who’s waiting in the wings?
Common folk are useless when it comes to self rule
There’s nothing more dangerous than following a ruler who’s a fool!

They need a leader! They need a leader to guide them through the day and the night
Someone who is cool, and someone who will last, and someone who can handle a fight
They need a leader! They need a good leader to tell them wrong from right
Someone who is just and someone who can lead and someone who has eternal life!
Eternal life…

I will take the reins and rule until I’m overthrown
That will be a clear sign that society can rule on their own
I’m not too invested if they can save themselves
I’ll be an administrator only if there’s no one else

They need a leader. They need a strong leader to save them from Youkai
Though the race lives on, though their heroes are strong, it’s not enough for those who can’t fight
A human leader may be enough if they can protect those with their might
But if there’s no one, then I guess my mission is to get someone to step up, right?

They need a leader! They need a strong leader to guide them through the night

The Tao is the path to the truth, nothing more. Good and evil come equally
I was Buddhist only as long as it could serve me
I could choose to rule people again
But I’m no teacher
I don’t need new disciples like some others

They need a leader! They need a leader to guide them through the day and the night
Someone who is cool, and someone who will last, and someone who can handle a fight
They need a leader! They need a good leader to tell them wrong from right
Someone who is just and someone who can lead and someone who has eternal life!

They need a leader! They need a strong leader to save them from Youkai
Though the race lives on, though their heroes are strong, it’s not enough for those who can’t fight
A human leader may be enough if they can protect those with their might
But if there’s no one, then I guess my mission is to get someone to step up, right?


They need a leader. A leader is needed to safeguard human life…

Style (A Touhou Parody of "Style" by Taylor Swift, ft Reimu and Marisa)

(Marisa) Reimu! Borrowed this from Kourin, it’s new!
(Reimu) I told you that stuff doesn’t interest me. Don’t care
(Marisa) But it says that you can judge people by what clothes they wear
(Reimu) Well, if what that says is true, then what
Do all the clothes that they all wear say?
Let’s take a look at Sanae…

She’s got that Outside Shrine Maiden uniform
(Marisa) I don’t get how you guys can wear that and keep warm
At least that the sleeves cut off seems to be a real norm
I guess that is a “Good Girl” style
That is from her “Good Girl” style

She’s got that Frog-Dress, Eye-Hat, and long sleeve shirt
And she’s got a mirror and ropes above her long skirt
(Reimu) I’d say it’s an act just for faith, but it couldn’t hurt
That is the Moriya Shrine style
(Marisa) It’s part of a weird shrine style

(Reimu) Maybe so, but let’s look all over Gensokyo
Look at those on the mountain, what about their clothes?
(Marisa) Okay, I guess that next we’ll look at the Kappa and the Crow Tengu…
Give me a few…
I guess we’ll start here with Nitori
She wears the same outfit daily
And then the Crow Tengu’s designs…

Well she’s got a backpack, wisp hat and pocket-dress
It’s blue and has a criss-cross key over her chest
With waders even though the Kappa swim the best
What in the world is that style? I guess it’s the kappa style

They’ve both got dress shirts, short skirts, and a tokin
One clicks a shutter, the other flips up a screen
They both wear geta, but still have the fastest flight speed
What’s up with that tengu style? A business-look tengu style?

(Reimu) Alright, who’s next?
(Marisa) Ooh! Let’s do them! The SDM!

They’ve got a French maid, jamies, and Chinese dress
Don’t get me started with Flandre’s wings and the rest
And Remi wears pink because when she eats, it’s mess
(Reimu) What in the hell’s with their style? You can’t read them by their style!
