This song never gets old. It's got such a distinct vibe to it unlike any song I've ever heard, I know I'll be coming back to it no many how many years pass. That's the Touhou effect for you!
This might be one of the best videos to introduce someone to Touhou with. It's classic, simple, takes its time, and somehow captures the soul of Touhou perfectly.
I've listened to this song for 4 years and no matter the hundreds of times I've heard it, I still love it with all my life Touhou and Alstoemeria Records, you rock!
This song is so beautiful, its so haunting and sounds so depressing, so why does it make me smile and fell like everything's always going to be alright? Pi~hyarara
I've come to deliver to you a ticket for a trip once more down the pathway of remembrance so that you may once again feel that loving feeling of being young
I recently played HPtP and found that the person in 5:29 is probably Reimu as she appears at the end screen which tells you your score, continues used etc. But her eyes are supposed to be purple instead of red over here. Also, at 6:05, it could be Marisa and Byakuren
but the light creates dark (shine light on objects and it creates shadows) because it is like Yin and Yan... Sei and Do, with out one the other can't exsist but yes I agree Long Live Shrine Miku Reimu cause she is awesome (killing youkai since 96)
Coincidentally, this is true in the majority of ways you could interpret it. For instance if, like I do, you think it's about the creation of the Hakurei barrier and separation of the Outside World and Gensokyo (I can explain that if you want, as well as how this would make the Hakurei Shrine a beacon of light), the Hakurei Shrine is right on the border and exists on both sides, so a lot of things cross over there.
CreepypastaMaster7 Gensokyo was basically created as a world that youkai could continue to exist in. Youkai are in general created by the 'darker' and more unpleasant side of the imagination, at least in their classic versions from Japanese folklore. Therefore Gensokyo, a world of Youkai would also be a world of darkness by extension, however the Hakurei shrine still has strong ties to the outside world, thus making it a beacon of light.
Yo man, this is the song that gets in my head whenever I feel like living isn't worth the struggle, like I just want to close my eyes and let it all turn black, forever. The call of this song is strong, and it's tempting. Not only the hot singing, but the tempting message that I don't have to live life anymore. But I must struggle against those thoughts, because ain't nothing a dead man can do for the world, and you know, YOLO, so I gotta live one more day. That struggle is real man.
"Dreaming", with lyrics also by Haruka, has perhaps a more heroic take on it: "Before all disappears, maidens chase their dreams Before all is lost, they walk, forgetting even the beating of their hearts "Keep chasing your overflowing dreams, fighting to pass the seasons The things of the future are beyond sight; if you don't want to break, look straight ahead You're so cold-hearted that you can't heal Pointless things and such have no place on this path "Maidens who dream, forget even the mournful things As for me, I'm not giving up; I'll proceed onward, believing in this path "Keep chasing your overflowing dreams, fighting to pass the seasons The things of the future are beyond sight; if you don't want to break, look straight ahead Your cold heart is hit hard, it doesn't even heal, so Pointless things and such hold no meaning to me "Everything is already disappearing, only the dreams haven't withered and died Are you really giving up after all this time, without catching those dreams you pursue? Are you still dreaming? I can't see the end, so The dream remains [...] "Now, living in this phantom world, don't erase those dreams yet I'm still chasing them; are they disappearing? I won't let them disappear Are you dreaming now? I can't see the end, so The dream remains" (Source: en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_Dreaming_(Alstroemeria_Records) )
whoever wrote this cares a lot about humanity. it takes a lot of strength to see death itself, and come back wanting the best for everyone, even if everything is meaningless and we'll all die just the same. they're only telling us to give up because they don't believe it's worth it for us to get hurt. thanks
Touhou is so valuable thing in my sight - or maybe - my life. I'm so proud in editors' attention in the touhou project - that now , is a very enormous project for all or at less myself. I love to said that I love this PV very mush.
***** Err, I didn't really explain myself that well. I don't remember why he said the pc-98 era wasn't canon, I just know that he said it isn't. You'll have to look for the reason yourself.
0killerx I looked it up, it's because PC-98 was set in the Eastern Country so it's not canon to Touhou because there's no relations. He's also stated that the older characters aren't gone and just don't get to be shown on game-screen.
I love this video; the song is amazing and the lyrics are just... AH! Thank you so much... Now if only someone knew where to find an off vocal of it XD
11 years later and that shot of Shinki standing behind Byakuren STILL gives me chills.

People wonder why I like the songs with dark lyrics.. It's all in interpreting the true meaning of it. Thats why I like it.
I agree, this song isn't dark at all.
I have a bridge to sell you.
I like songs where the lyrics are in a language I don't understand. Then I don't have to worry about whether they're dark or not.
couldn't agree more

Should Touhou ever have a finale, this would be an excellent choice of theme to go over it.

I wish ZUN hadn't wrote off the PC-98 era as non-canon. I feel like that itself is a part of the backbone that is Gensoukyo.
Wait what the hell, when did that happen
***** I think fans were asking ZUN between EoSD a little after the release of PoFV because PoFV had Yuuka in it but not other PC-98 characters.
0killerx So because of that he cut it off? Doesn't that kind of mess up the storylines for some of the characters then..
***** Err, I didn't really explain myself that well. I don't remember why he said the pc-98 era wasn't canon, I just know that he said it isn't. You'll have to look for the reason yourself.
0killerx I looked it up, it's because PC-98 was set in the Eastern Country so it's not canon to Touhou because there's no relations. He's also stated that the older characters aren't gone and just don't get to be shown on game-screen.
