Reimu's theme, from the very beginning. ...The iconic protagonist is a character with various sides to her, and I wanted this to focus especially on her personal sense of idealism. Also, to appreciate her fundamental importance to the setting and the constancy of her role through the years. This track dates back to the very first Touhou game, and the sentiments still run strong.
A long while ago, I sang partial lyrics to a remix of this song by the talented Frogmask:

/ frogmaskmusic
For the full version now, my partner Lori-hime has taken over the voice of Reimu, and she did a beautiful job. Lori also put together the charming loading screens and end screen as usual.

Touhou Project 01, Highly Responsive to Prayers
Reimu Hakurei: "Eternal Shrine Maiden"
(arrange from Akyuu's Untouched Score Vol. 3)
Original music by ZUN.
English lyrics by me, fandub vocals by Lori-hime ( / lori-hime ).
Official art from "Immaterial and Missing Power" (shrine background), "Antinomy of Common Flowers" (modern portrait), and "Highly Responsive to Prayers."
---
dream is waiting...
A fantasy sealed, in a pure land:
Peace is my frail castle on sand.
Hold the ideal, safe in my hand,
Close to my heart, to the last stand;
Make it eternal, eternal-- eternally, I'll
Make it eternal, eternal-- eternally, shine for me.
My world of perfect balance and timeless tradition:
What lies inside the border is my duty to defend.
Down through those pits of hell, I chase my intuition:
Pure faith that brought me here will be guiding me to the end.
Capture the dream that I see.
By the light of my mind, set it free.
Call a name, and I pray for an answer...
Like a game, and I play ever after...
dream unfading...
It's yin and it's yang, black against white.
Burdens are great, spirits are light.
Bells that once rang, echo tonight,
Sound in my heart, show me what's right;
Make it eternal, eternal-- eternally, I'll
Make it eternal, eternal-- eternally, shine for me.
What makes this feeling more than a vain superstition?
Always, that's just the way it is, right down through history.
Up to these heights of heaven, I'll make this my mission:
Armed here with all I need to be solving a mystery.
If I believe I can fly...
All the same, it's the truth and a lie.
Call a name, and I pray for an answer...
Like a game, and I play ever after...

@jochebedbamboa3901 3 года назад

A refreshing take on Reimu very distinct from the same-old deadpan, serious Reimu usually seen in fanon. While I like that side of her, I also like the side of her reliant on her gut feeling.

@fluffy_cheese7478 3 года назад

Agreed!

@destruction42k 3 года назад

I always thought her deeply serious yet reluctant self was pretty close to cannon. though her more called out playful side tends to come out when she's around friends like Marisa though i could be wrong.

@Set666Abominae 3 года назад

@@destruction42k a lot of fan works take her deadpan, serious side *waaaaaaay* too far. Take Memories of Phantasm: for as great a project as it is, they just make Reimu unpleasant and boring. Contrast to how she’s depicted in any of the manga: she’s a clown; lazy, scheming, ill tempered, hot headed, money-grubbing, overly optimistic and spends more time drunk than sober. Above all else she’s extremely outward with her emotions; screaming, beating up anyone who annoys her, acting extremely cocky/smug at times, chewing her nails with jealousy etc.. Hardly deadpan or all that serious!

@niklasstg6957 3 года назад

@@Set666Abominae Dont forget she wanted to make a 9/11 on the Moriya shrine ropeway. And yes. The newest Memories of phantasm episode is my least favourite since they make reimu look like a weak person. Where we could see in MoF that Sanae was completely outclassed by her in terms of Danmaku battle.

@bleakds Год назад

@@niklasstg6957 Wait, when did she want to do that to the ropeway? I assume it was in the manga, which manga was it in?

@CeruleanSeal 3 года назад

Such a pretty, and deeply underappreciated song. I love the image you painted Reimu in compared to the typical "I'm broke and my job is annoying but I do it anyway" light she is always in. Which mind you. Is fine, but this side of her where she shows how right for the position of a Shrine maiden she truly is reminds me why I love her for more than just being the face of the games.

@houraidinbucuresti3583 3 года назад

What a beautiful cover... There are a lot of individual lyrics that remind me of the things I loved about the Touhou Project series when I was first introduced to it. I think my appearance of the old Reimu was my favorite touch... It's a nice way to remember that, despite the fact that the series has changed so much, a lot of the charm that it originally had still reminds. I really appreciate this because it feels like the modern Reimu is still attempting to carry out the same objectives as she has been from the very beginning and she will continue to do so "eternally". It's almost as if she were paying tribute to her past self, which I respect. Also, the little loading screen thing was pretty nice. Lyrica and Lori both did an excellent job on this one.

@caixagato 3 года назад

I cried. One of the most nostalgia-filled melodies and one of my favorite songs. Reimu has an eternally special place in my heart and the lyrics represent that idealist dicotomy so well. Great job, girls 😌

@bxh3993 3 года назад

"Call a name, and I pray for an answer. Like a game, and I play, ever after." I can't express how brilliant I think these lyrics are. And not to mention the delivery - Lyrica's voice, as always, manages to capture just what makes every Touhou girl who she is. The mysterious yet eternally dutiful Reimu - the soul of the Touhou Project. Thank you so much for this beautiful cover of one of my favorite themes of all time!

@penndragyn3728 Год назад

I'm starting to think that Reimu might be one of my new favorite characters in this series after this. The lyrics really highlighted the aspects of her that tend to get overlooked. Sure, she's usually a bit of a grump, but this shows the side of her that truly cares for her duty. She's gone to heavens and hells to ensure her home is safe and in relative peace. She truly is the eternal shrine maiden.

@maryafantalia8614 Месяц назад

Yes. I never got into Touhou, but Reimu starts making me interested, she sounds fascinating as a character. I saw she was apparently lazy, but the rare scenes I saw from her show her being pretty involved, which actually makes her more interesting than she already sounds.

@penndragyn3728 Месяц назад

@dileblade7659 3 года назад

Yet another amazing song. On a side note, this song made me truly respect reimu as a character. Just sit and think of all that she's done. Gone to heaven and hell, a whole universe full of demons made by a goddess, went to the lunar capital, entered the dream world, fought characters that can mess with the multiverse, among other things. Like in most of any fiction, how many characters have truly done anything close to all the $%@# reimu has dealt with. Many people have achievements but lots of them are maybe 1 or 2 of the things while reimu has them in like a bundle. Reimu really needs more respect cause she really has earned it.

@RyougiVector Год назад

The fact that the original theme underlying this lyricover is the first stage song you hear after the energetic menu theme of the first game makes the gravity of her duties so palpable. Melancholy but dedicated, pained but pious. This is who she is and always will be, even if it takes its toll on her. And these lyrics capture her conflicted feelings between saving Gensokyo and saving herself very well, as well as the resolve she possesses to push through those doubts.

One of the few pre-Windows Touhou stage themes that I love! I'm pleasantly surprised to find this. This portrayal of Reimu might just be able to redeem her completely, given that how often her grouchy, lazy side is given much attention to. This perfectly illustrates her hidden resolve, the one she had ever since she was younger.

Call my name, and I come with the content Like a beautiful game full of torment It's yin and it's yang, actually no What I protect is so much more Without me, they would infight And all would die to outer light Hey Marisa, are you gliding visions of mine?

That's because I voiced both Reimu and Marisa by myself in that old song (it was written before I started working with my partner). This time, my partner Lori has taken over as the voice of Reimu. That way, if there are any future Reimu/Marisa songs, I can continue as Marisa and we can make them proper duets!
