Let me tell a sotry about this song... Had a younger, very nice brother. But he discovered a cancer some years ago. Can remember the day when he had some diagnostics that said it entered remission. That was such a happy day. At that time, i didn't know how i could convey my words of happiness, but we listened to this song, for he was a Touhou fan too and he loved Yuyuko and Youmu. His word: "at the border between life and death, we still dare". It has been a almost a year since he left this world. But i still dare listen to this song. I do always cry, but i still listen to this piece or art. The memory of that day, the smile in his face i remember that all. At the border between life and death, we still try.
I'm sorry to hear for your loss. But in a sense, I guess you're right about "At the border between life and death, we still try". It's human nature to try to cling to life as long as we can, even if it's a desperate attempt to do so. We feel like if death were to show up at our front door, there's no helping but to let him in. But, even when odds seem to be stacked against people, they still try their hardest, hoping for that slim chance to occur. Even if some people don't have the luck that others do, they still try their hardest, giving them hope for better things.
funny how border of life is both my favorite touhou og song and demetori cover. maybe it's obvious why, but i don't think it's that simple, i just really love how they arranged this one here. even though i also love their newest rearrangement of it, id say this one is by far more touching for me
1 word to sum up this song imo, and probably a few other fanworks related to yuyuko's backstory bittersweet in other words it sounds happy and sad at the same time i guess that's the best way i can put the thing lol
@ToraeMoegiirosadly it's mostly gone bc the main people of the dev team kinda left to do their thing which gave birth to -sol's rng: star glitcher edition- zorium reawakened
Danbooru (Which isn't the original source, just a repository). As the "Saigyouji_yuyuko" and "solo" tags gives 258 pages to search for, I'm not going to do it. Also, I'm not near my home PC at the moment to give a direct dropbox link, soo I'll have to... wait... well, it's 2015, there exist image searchs now D: Link (for the second pic) added to description (Thanks SauceNAO). The rest of them (and many more) can be found searching on danbooru with the tags I mentioned earlier.
I would say it's more like 65% NSFW really >.>U... but the remaining 35% it's a little more than what you can find in safebooru, so that's why I use it D:
