【Touhou Lyrics】 Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly ~ Red and White
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2018
- / lyricalive
A duet for the nameless but fascinating girls from Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. ...ZUN's first music CD, an obscure gem, is the only one whose story does NOT follow the adventures of the Secret Sealing Club or any other known character. Instead, it's a dark murder mystery -- with no explicit answer -- about a group of eight "honest ones" who stumble into Gensokyo and then start getting killed off, one by one. Could the culprit be among them? Could it be "the most beautiful" honest one, who you'd least expect? Meanwhile, there's a morally neutral shrine maiden casually dancing in the mist and keeping track of the body count.
This duet features myself as the shrine maiden, while my partner Lori ( / lori-hime ) is the most beautiful one... of course. I'm blown away more than ever by the dramatic power of her voice here. Should I be worried that such a scary character comes so naturally to her? In any case, please appreciate it. She's amazing.
In case you haven't, you should read the original story and see what kinds of interpretations you can come up with: kafkafuura.wor... I don't enjoy looking at Gensokyo in a very violent light, but this CD does offer awesome themes of ambiguity and duality of identity that I always love. For example, I interpret that the beautiful murderer gives up her humanity to embrace the nature of a youkai. It also offers my favorite version of this Dichromatic song, otherwise associated with Reimu or with Seihou, but I'll always associate it most with these girls.

English lyrics by me, fandub vocals by me & Lori.

---
A pack of humans... no, a pack of villains... no, a pack of strangers wander in freely.
Who else would wind up here, inside a land so strange, except the very strangest of beings?
In keeping up a fence, in keeping up an act, one has to wonder, how much longer?
A precious treasure placed before a stubborn thief, the curious eye's urges grow stronger.
No... nothing in this world will remain the same.
Now as we are gathered, time to begin this most beautiful game.
What’s inside the heart of an honest girl,
Drifting like a star in the sky?
Here tonight is one fewer honest girl...
Now that she’s embracing her lie! (Ha ha ha!)
I’m sworn to keep the peace, but can there ever be peace without a fight?
Each story is a dream -- to struggle through the day, dancing through the night.
So... nothing in this world will remain the same.
Now as we are gathered, time to begin this most beautiful game.
What’s inside the heart of an honest man,
Beating at the edge of a knife?
Here tonight is one fewer honest man...
Now that someone’s taken his life! (Ha ha ha!)
I say, what will it take to taint the perfect world, paint it bloody red?
Oh, just the final trace of sympathy in me, long already dead.
I’m sworn to keep it pure, but is there such a thing as the purest white?
Each day, the numbers change -- but always there’s a balance to make it right.
No rest for the wary...
No commendation for the most early to rise...
Here we play like children, until we are not.
Welcome to my paradise.
A pack of humans... no, a pack of monsters... no, a pack of puppets wander in slowly.
Who else would wind up here, pitched on the strings of fate, and act a play out, broken and lowly?
Unlike a human, unaware of even just how monstrous it is to be human,
I’ll choose to take this mask and do the deed myself, become a monster here with my own hand.
I say, what will it take to taint the perfect world, paint it bloody red?
Oh, just the final trace of sympathy in me, long already dead.
I’m sworn to keep it pure, but is there such a thing as the purest white?
Each day, the numbers change -- but always there’s a balance to make it right.
Two colors clash again, though different as can be, never far apart.
No answer purely right, as surely as there’s no purely honest heart.
No pity for cowards...
No puzzle lacking in a challenge for the wise...
Here we are all equals, until we are not.
Welcome to my paradise. (“Paradise.”)
*but is there such a thing as the purest white?*
Yeah.
It's Called Junko.
XDDDDDD
Good One! 😆😆😆
That's a... pretty horrifying prospect, truth to be told... >___>;
Hm, I wouldn't say such a pure white. After all, her Lilies still come with murderous intent. I guess you can say, that Junko was tainted a perfect red. Aahh such a pure being, whose sympathies were long already dead~
Well, there is nothing pure like white, bc the light can't appear without darkness, and viceversa
@Samuel Houlding (except Junko is the opposite of a loli and is a mother)
"No answer purely right, as surely as there's no purely honest heart."
Love this phrase,no reason i just... *love it*
Serra?! What are you doing here? (im referring to your profile pic)
@@prismus6520 lalaling as usual and listening some good music
My brain went dumb at that part and felt as though one said "red" and one said "white" mixing the two to make it "right".
So the royal line likes this?
Lyrica must be proud.
(again, referring to Eternal Meek’s prof pic)
@@freshgammerzyt606 THE FUTURE OF INTERPRETATION
DiPP always left me and my friends wondering how many times Reimu and her ancestors have been out on patrol only to come across the horror show of what this story portrayed. How many times has a situation like this been recorded? Where a group of humans falls into Gensokyo and is torn apart from the inside out by one of their own, who found themselves utterly changed... and LOVED IT.
despite whatever fan games, fan manga and fan fictions try to tell you, no one in Gensokyo give a F--k about human outsiders. The only reason Gensokyo Youkai don't attack human village is because they are allowed to prey on human who got "spirited away" into Gensokyo
@@HonestFarmerLigue1Fan Technically a handful of people do. Reimu is (allegedly) obligated to allow anyone that reaches her shrine safe passage out of Gensokyo or to the Human Village. Kanako probably wouldn't mind some new followers who have knowledge of modern tech. And I imagine the Human Village itself doesn't turn down the fresh genetic contribution an outsider can provide.
@@WatcherCCG Sure Kanako would accept potential believers but there is one problem. How would normal human without magic could climb the Youkai Mountain to reach Moriya Shrine? Kappa had stopped drowning humans for their shirikodama long ago since they have cucumber farm, but Tengu wouldn't be that nice to outsiders
@@WatcherCCG So the options for a human entering Gensokyo is death, servitude or a fuck… tough choice.
@Ray Sharrow wouldnt stop you from being eaten by a demon boar
Ah, Dolls in Pseudo Paradise! Probably the single most disturbing piece of Touhou lore that has ever existed.
Nice!
I mean you're right but i still wanna go to Gensokyo
@@RinSatsuki420 let’s hope you get there with some knowledge on how to ward off youkai and proper materials.
I think it was really ZUN testing the limits of how far he wanted to go with the series' new direction. He went back later and chose a more nuanced approach to introduce the disturbing elements of the lore, but it's definitely a period piece.
When you enter Gensokyo, please aim for the village that Keine protects.
There is an agreement that monsters are not allowed to enter there and are not allowed to attack people.
Gensokyo is a land of dreams as much as it is one of nightmares. How much of each it has is up to one's imagination.
But for the moment, nightmares run rampant.
"Here we play like children, until we are not."
this line alone gives me nostalgia
Lori’s voice is so perfect for this role, I might cry
Same... I literally did cry while listening to her record. I'm glad others agree. ;v;
Ahh,Doll in Pseudo Paradise,also known as "Why entering Gensokyo is actually a bad idea".
Also,Lori's voice is really fitting!She sounds quite evil in this one...
Also,did you hear about the theory that Alice Margatroid is "the most beautiful" honest man?What do you think about it?
Criticdraco she looks like Yukari, in my opinion
Probably it’s because of the marionetter’s cross she’s holding.
@@prismus6520 And the Ushi no koku mairi (A voodo ritual wich is what Alice makes in Bohemian I think, that ritual of nailing dolls to trees is performed to kill someone) also, when Reimu said that "She left the paradise" she might mean that Alice entered Makai
I think the backstory of DiPP is dark but fuck it i still wanna go to gensokyo
@@RinSatsuki420 well, if you want to, hope you at least have power. otherwise you're dead
In conclusion some girl decided to play Among Us taking the role of the Pierrot(Imposter)

Dolls in Pseudo Paradise is possibly my most favorite thing in the entire Touhou Project (At least musically talking). It feels melancholical, empty and faded; it's a total dark side of Gensokyo. And this one track is my favorite of them all. Thank you for this
Gensokyo is always a dangerous place. Spell card system makes people go soft. I miss the old PC-98 times when getting bad ending means Reimu got killed.
@@HonestFarmerLigue1Fan that was only in one game and they were very much joke endings lmao
Jesus Christ the echoing laughs are giving me goosebumps... *applauds bewildered*
WOAH I DIDN'T KNOW DOLLS IN PSEUDO PARADISE HAD A UNIQUE STORY
THAT'S HELLA INTERESTING
How beautifully it is implemented into one of my favorite Reimu themes~
i worked 12 hours today in the outsource rice fields and was feeling down. NOT ANY MORE!
also i have to say it was very enjoyable to hear lori improve every time you sang together. she's on your old level already, better watch out for that particular rising star! she might just take over the lead.
also, LYRICA LORI LIVE CONCERTO WHEN
What, did that statue drag you into the fields?
what statue? there's no statues here, friend, h... heh. we're all of legal age and here of our own volition.
HECK YES A NEW LYRICA LIVE VIDEO!!! TOUHOU IS LOVE, TOUHOU IS LIFE!!!
Just Monika agreed!
Wow monika plays touhou who knew
@@moriminoriko2617 magic girls with some dark things
and only one male character
@@VividNorman i uh. okay. thanks for sharing the information i ALREADY know.
@@moriminoriko2617 I was a weirdo before, i know
Didn't know Jacketko was into killing games. Upupu.
"Long Already Died..."
Wow,I love that phrase soo much,dont know the reasen why,but I just.....LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! 😆
Woah~! That's so good!
Reimu doesn't deserve that good theme, unyunyu! >w
>unyunyu
stop that.
Be nice to the bird, Chen. After all they can't help what is said sometimes~♡
Yuuka Kazami i just immediately had a mental image of that managa panel where okuu says "unyu" and satori responds by slapping her and saying "STOP. THAT."
Punished Chen oh god that is really a good meme
Whenever I see a Lyrica upload
Inside my brain: THIS MONTH HAS BEEN SAVED!!!!!!!!!!
Still one of my favorite set of lyrics you've written. I particularly love singing these and the ones you did for Merry, the Magician.
Im impressed you managed to pull off some cool lyrics with a song from an album with a very strange story with no mention of it in the present day.
You could have gone the easy way and use Seihou Reimu.
But you went full challenge and did a duet with the misterious characters of DiPP.
Nicely done~
Lyrica Live back at it with another song I'll have stuck in my head until the next one comes out-
Seriously though, nice job once again! Can't wait for the next one!
i hope the next(the next?) will be "pair of divine beasts", with girls being the aforementioned pair
same!!!!
and i hope the next one will be "deaf but the song". i love it soo much!!!
@@1000niggawatt I thought you said "pair of divine breasts"
Bucket Loli I would expect weeaboo Loli slayer to say that.
Huh , i thought this song represented Reimu as they used it as her theme in UNL and ULiL , interesting . anyways , great video as always .
Actually, it's her music theme in first Seihou Extra :)
saaaame!!!!! i thought the same!!!! exactly the same! i was so curious about it. its not even for renko and maribel. i will start to hate the both if she makes them in the next video.
...@@touhou98soundtracks98, thats not maribel and renko, thats a hakurei ancestor and the "most beautiful honest one"
Nghhhhhh, this is so good!
Your voice is still as good as ever, but I feel like Lori's is improving a lot, now it feels more like you two are on equal footing, which makes the song much more enjoyable. Good job!
There are eight less people in this paradise, "Gensoukyou," and seven corpses were carried off by youkai.
Gensoukyou has lost these honest men forever.
It's just a change in the population count.
Not important news in the least.
GrahamChapman oh yeah, there’s a crazy bird who wants to do nuclear science in hell.
Now for the weather!
eh, no worries, they were just a random group of humans who were spirited in for some friggen reason
@@gypsysprite4824 Probably to entertain Yukari or some other youkai.
@@ianraymo350 obviously they are "spirited away" to become food. preying on outsider humans is not against the rules
It wasnt even a change in population.
They were spirited away to gensokyo
I'll always have a special place in my heart for these two...
Goodness gracious, Lori sounds beyond amazing on this one! (also it's one of my favourite Touhou songs so I'm literally shaking with excitement here)
I'd definitely suspect the most beautiful one, because sometimes there's not always a pure honest one
God the vocals are amazing in this video. It’s nice to see how far you and Lori have progressed throughout the videos. Lyrics amazing as always. Keep up the good work!
Woah!
I was certainly not expecting a cover of this song, both of the voices have grown so much!
...I'm honestly getting a couple Danganronpa vibes from it too lol
This is canon now and I love it
Haven't watched danganrampa, but same
You both popped off with the vocals on this one 🙌🏼
An underrated Reimu theme. Ah but I love how you used it here to represent the story in this CD. Your songs really makes one want to pick out each part and make a theory out of it.
Finally. I literally worship the hour when an upload drops on this channel.
THEORY
A shrine maiden allowed a yokai to possess one of the men in the group and allowed it to wreak havoc on all the others.
Maybe something diplomatic regarding humans that don't belong in gensokyo?
It could be very similar to the situation with Yumemi, how she tried to kidnap Reimu. What if the group of men were there for nefarious reasons.
will reimu ever get to actually sing to (one of) her themes (remember, Marisa jacked cuppachino)
find out next time on Dragon Ball GT

Thank you for reminding me of how disturbing and unique the original story of DiPP was. God, I need to read that again. And now I also need to hear more vocal covers from the album. Japanese Flower, Legend of Hourai, Witch of Love Potion...all so good !
I had...always assumed the lethal nature of Gensokyo was just fan-work... Well, time to go look into the actual lore for once!
Well then, another great cover made by Lyrica, the timing was perfect too!
Timezones all formed a line to make me see the release of this great duo cover really late in the night;
Aside from that, once again, thanks to your covers I discovered another part of the touhou series, again thank you!
And congratulations to your partner too! You both did a great job on this one!
*Another great song that I won't easily forget~*
Your voice has grown a lot since you started these covers! As a fairly new fan of these i truly love how you make your voice fit the characters! your covers were what have fully pushed me into the community! i Thank you for making all these cover that i enjoy listening to on a nearly daily basis! I hope to see more from you! (*edit, i literally first wrote this when i first woke up so i rephrased it and such, still tired though so idk if i fixed it or made it worse)
As disturbing as the included story is, I do enjoy Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. Because it was released only shortly after ZUN made the switch to Windows many of the tracks are remixes of PC-98 Touhou music (although they're just the midi versions from the old website).
I've never played Seihou, but this song really does fit Reimu. Despite that you decided to base the lyrics off DiPP's story. Nice.
Thank for introducing this awesome story to me, it's always intetesting to see a new, unexpected side of your favorite franchise.
I promise i'll find out the culprit!
I didn't expect you to go for the DiPP story for this one, but I am glad you went with this angle. Definitely great voice work from both of you!
I've been dying for new Lyrica Live video, I almost forgot about her channel. I love this lyric :)
*pushes repeat aggressively* that sounds so perfect, one of the best songs!
Lyrica is literally perfect. The cackling, the lyrics, background, the nostalgia. Incredible.
You two have improved alot since ''Greenwich In The Sky'' The lyrics is awesome you girls are sounding nicer each music keep it up \o/!
God both of your voices in this are so beautiful I'm gonna cry
I used to think Gensokyo was a land of serenity and beauty.
Now I see it as something worse than the backrooms. I can only hope that I’ll never get no-clipped in there.
Lyrica... These are some of the best lyrics you've made. Very riveting.
I knew i heard this somewhere but i couldn't remember where, god damn antimony of common flowers has this remixed and put into the game as Reimu's theme!
I'm here after researching DiPP to try to figure out Murder in Pseudo Paradise. Let me say, it's so awesome how this slots perfectly into the vibe the whole thing! I'm examining two creators making a tribute to a third's work and they all just flow with each other! It's so cool!
I wanted to make Spanish Subtitles, but RUclips's random timestamps is making my mind crazy, but i keep *determined* , did i say something bad?
I endend if and send it! Please accept it Lyrica :'3, it took me some time..
Please Accept It :'(, it took soo much time
Oml these voices ♡□♡
Aaaa lyrica did it again!!! I love the duet ones, there's a lot of characters like the Yorigami sisters that would totally rock a duet.
HELL YEAH! Another great video from Lyrica Live! I really love this theme and the lyrics are great, good job.
Oh my god.. How did I miss this cover over the past years? I always liked this song from DiPP, so I’m surprised I missed it.. This cover you guys did is probably one of my favorite songs now.
0:52 “Get these emojis away from me!”
You and Lori vocals improved much. I really like it!
I alway love trying to find secrets and references in your lyrics it’s really worth the wait
Omg! I really want to make a spanish cover of this! the lyrics are so pretty and i love this song 💕
X2
Are you still interested in making a Spanish cover of this song, I can help translating the lyrics.
@@eirinmessi My first language is Spanish but i kinda know English, but some help will be great anyways :D
@@kana_chinchilla Yo también hablo español xd, tienes discord para poder hablar mejor? Ya tengo unas ideas para la traducción.
@@kana_chinchilla Si lo prefieres podemos comunicarnos por algún otro medio, también podemos seguir conversando por los comentarios, no creo que Lyrica se moleste por dejarle unos buenos comentarios que alimenten al algoritmo.
"I’ll choose to take this mask and do the deed myself, become a monster here with my own hand."
Did you just put a jojo reference in this song?
IS THAT A FUCKING JOJO REFENRENCE?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
I REJECT MY HUMANITY, JOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Oh fuck you i didint see that
Touhou is JoJo and JoJo is Touhou.
Personally I always tought one of the 'honest ones' was Mokou
Her spellcards do certainly hint at her being the culprit
to this day. it is awesome
Wow this is a really amazing lyrics you guys did!✨️✨️
So DiPP is just danganronpa in gensokyo
omg, now this song gives me among us vibes...the most beautifull person is kinda sus
*There is 1 imposter among us*
WHEN THE IMPOSTOR IS SUS😳😳😳
When the coward is mokou (sus)
You should try Strawberry Crisis.
SHE ADDED MY LYRICS YEEES
I'll have to watch this later, i bet it'll be fantastic, but in the meantime, is there a reason as to why you haven't uploaded your gorgeous cover of eternal shrine maiden yet?
Thank you... I haven't uploaded it because it is set to another talented fan's (GORGEOUS) remix, rather than to the original track -- and it also only covers half of the lyrics that I wrote for the full song. I've always intended to go back and record a full version to the original track... but, when I've tried, it doesn't turn out as good as that partial one... ^^; It's still on my list of things to do; I'm sorry for taking forever!
Lyrica Live i figured that was the case, i see! I literally play that song every time it rains, and YOU HAVE MORE LINES FOR IT??? OMG, I'M SO PUMPED ALREADY.
About this song. It was absolutely wonderful and great. There was a huge amount of reference to the story and what happened, and i love this story a lot, so i appreciated this immensely. I was only a bit sad there was no agatha christie references, but doesn't matter, they were in flandre's song😂.
My only nitpick is that i actually prefer the "ancients" version of this song, but oh well😂.
Speaking of theories, I like making theories and such about this story, and i am 95% confident that the "not youkia nor human" in the alternate story is actually VIVIT, which is pretty obvious seeing reimu's different thoughts toward the beautiful one.
I will found a wonderful agatha-christie-level analysis of the story, and damn if it was interesting. I'll probably use it in my theory/analysis of the story i'll soon write
Ah!-- remind me to remix that again...
How are you so amazing at this!? Love this, as usual♥ Sorry I don't have anything more constructive to say, but I just cannot say much about these perfections of yours except how awesomely good they are
Quién tradujo "pack" como "paquete"? 😭 Esto es inmirable. Dejen de traducir con Google y respeten el trabajo de Lyrica.
Another amazing theme from Lyrica! Definetly great!
A theme I do want to see in the future is Ringo's! I feel like you could make it something really cool! But until then, I think this'll defiently be a great song to be listening to! ^^
"Here we are all equals until we are not" Sounds like America.
Perfect, as always
Thank you for you work and creativity
LYRICA IS LIVE AGAIN!
Your vocal cover is amazing! :D I wish know the two girl's names because for me they are new characters (Literally). Your vocals are beautiful, Miss Lyrica and greetings. :3 ❤
Thank you so much, and greetings back to you.~ Unfortunately, the characters have no official names. Fans tend to refer to them as Labelko (the shrine maiden) and Jacketko (the beautiful murderer), deriving from the fact that their pictures appeared respectively on the label/jacket of the Dolls in Pseudo Paradise CD. Those names feel rather cold and impersonal though -- like, it takes you out of the immersion of the narrative -- and I'm sad they don't have better names. But that's what you can use if you wanted to talk about them! Always good for more people to start talking about them, building awareness and appreciation.
0:50 is best part
Oh God i love this laugh so much
Well done. No complaints.
Just saw that you covered Impeccable Heights on your tumblr. You did a good job, as always.
Anyone know of a peach tree with a hole near it in Nagano? Preferably one near a shrine. Asking for no particular reason.
(a pack of villains)
This song Stuck in my head,idk how. When I first saw it,I start singing it without looking at the lyrics! 🙌
A yeah,we are very sorry again,can we continue doing videos an reuploading your videos?🙏
Uuuuh,ignore what we said. 😅
"No lavish praises for the most early to rise..."
Was this an earlier draft, I wonder? After all, I see it's been fixed.
Smile ghost moment
You really need to do a Live Perfomance, *im talking seriously*
Hi I am back now and I love your videos keep up the good work p.s this is a new account because I messed up the old one by accident.
At 1:55 the line should be subtitled, "No rest for the weary..."
"Wary" means "alert, on guard against danger."
"Weary" means "tired, exhausted after working a long time."
Unless you were making an intentional play on words, the correct expression uses the second term.
I was indeed making an intentional play on words. One of the "honest men" whom she kills in the story is described as "the most wary" of the bunch, and there are references to each of the other men scattered throughout the lyrics as well (the most curious, the most cowardly, the most wise, etc). The references are aimed at emphasizing how none of their traits will help them in the end, so that line is implying something like that even the most wary can never be aware enough of what's really going on and will never catch a break in trying to figure it out. Sorry if it came across as confusing, and thanks for pointing it out. ^^
You're welcome. My familiarity with Touhou works is limited to secondhand sources and fan works, and I imagine many other Touhou fans would be in a similar position, so thank you for explaining it to me.
Oh and please don’t give up like I said I love your videos and keep up the good work please.
I got this notification right now and I was about to do my homework. Screw this, homework can wait! I think you should do Mystia's, Sanae's or Kokoro's theme next, tell me what you think of my suggestions :3
This speaks to me on so many levels.
but who was pierrot
I think it was Alice Margatroid
half of the murders are probably random youkai, the other half are the coward's work, who might be (according to multiple theories) alice, mokou, sakuya or one of alice's dolls
Wow I like it soooo much
Another day has been blessed.
This was made in 2019 which is hard to believe
It says 2018
PogChamp new lyrica video!!
I mention it, within days she returns!
I touht they were Renko and Maribel! The look kind similar to them... One of them looks like Yukari! And their description is like Reimu and Marisa... what if they are their ascensters? Or maybe Yukari before becoming a youkai was this girl?
