362 24/05

I wanted to have peace and quiet, turns out RU-vid wasn´t the best solution.

Haru desu-yo!

HARU DESU YOOOOO~!!!!!!!!!

Because of the power of Yuyu :3

Dominates? I think you mean, Consumes it. (She a glutton)

​@@BakaCirnofumo9 By the way she is not :)

I guess this is more of a springstorm song

@@woodward4789 nice one there

LESSSSSSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Seems to be the lore of Tohou, yokai do an oopsie woopsie and a shrine maiden has to go on very enthusiastic walks.

Me too.

worry not she is probably the one shredding that guitar

@@arcangellord5372 My cope is that she'll get the stage for the song about Yukari's fight.

It does fit Reimu personnality tbh to be forced along. She is kinda straightforward, violent, and kinda dumb. She will beat up everyone randomly until she finds the information she wants.

TBH the biggest difference for me is the lack of the off-putting growly screechy voice that you can barely understand. Though it does come at the cost of sometimes not being able to figure out who's meant to be speaking a given line since they sound pretty similar XD

We are circle nine

NO WAY

BAKA

@@BakaCirnofumo9 OMG CIRNO HIIII

This is of the "Perfect Cherry Blossom Incident", to sum up the lore there is a super evil tree in the Nether world that never blooms (for good reason as that would kill a lot of people) due to being sealed by the sacrifice of a woman who's body is sealed beneath it's roots. The Ghost of that woman, Yuyuko (the pink haired girl), has forgotten why the tree never blooms and desires to see it (plus learn who is buried beneath) so she gathers the Spring from Gensokyo to concentrate it into the tree to break the seal and force it to bloom. You stop her and return the Spring.

This takes place in Touhou 7, where it's already May yet the weather is still winter. Pink-haired ghost girl (Yuyuko) wants to make her giant dead cherry blossom tree (Saigyou Ayakashi) bloom to release the body and soul inside it (Yuyuko's corpse and soul, but she doesn't remember that) and is collecting the spring in Gensokyo for that purpose. The protagonist (either Reimu, Marisa, or Sakuya) starts beating up suspicious people until they find and stop Yuyuko and return spring back to Gensokyo.

So, Perfect Cherry Blossom is the 7th game in the series. I haven't actually beaten the game myself, but I know the story, I'm sure any other Touhou fans will jump on and correct any mistakes I make, but here goes. Short version: a ghost princess stole spring to try make a tree bloom. Heroines apply violence until problem goes away. Long Version: The story of the game is basically, the heroines Reimu Hakurie (red shrine maiden), Marisa Kirisame (the witch) and Sakuya Izayoi (who's not in this song, but did show up in Skarlet Sky due to being the 5th boss in the 6th game), notice that for some reason winter isn't ending and set out to find the cause. In classic Touhou fashion this actually means they brutally assault anyone they come across until they find the culprit. First they find Cirno, an ice fairy who despite all evidence to the contrary believes themselves the "The Strongest" and is determined to prove it. Then they find Letty Whiterock a Yuki-Onna (Snow maiden youkai) who they assume is the culprit due to having snow powers. Then a random bakeneko (shapeshifting cat spirit) called Chen who canonically has tried to raise an army of stray cats by bribing them with Catnip. The Girls then stumble across the Youkai magician Alice Margatroid, who is one of the few characters to come over from the re-boot at the 6th game. Alice is often shipped with Marisa by fans, in cannon I believe they have a friendly rivalry as fellow witches. She points the heroines up into the sky, where, in the song at least, cherry blossom petals have been falling from, despite only blooming in spring. Flying up into the sky, passing a fairy called Lilly White (who has the stated ability to "Announce that spring has come", she's the fairy who briefly shows up at the 4:06 in the song), they encounter a trio of poltergeists playing musical instruments and then find a portal to the netherworld, which is I believe stated to be a broken boundary. In the Netherworld they encounter Youmu Konpaku, a half phantom gardener and bodyguard of the spirit princess Yuyuko Saigyouji. Yuyuko reveals that she has stolen spring itself to try and force a magic cherry tree called the "Saigyou Ayakashi" to bloom to resurrect the corpse buried underneath it, apparently unaware that it was her own corpse. Despite Yuyuko having the cannon ability to just invoke death on her enemies (Thankfully spellcard rules prohibit straight up killing your opponent), the heroines defeat Yuyuko and return spring to Gensokyo. The two women at the very end of the song are Yukari Yakumo and her nine tailed fox shikigami (think a familiar spirit, but much more powerful) are the two secret bosses of the game. Chen the cat from earlier is revealed to be Ran's Shikigami, and Yukari is revealed to be the one who opened the barrier to the netherworld. The heroines defeat her and request she repair the barrier, which she kind of does... not enough to stop Youmu and Yuyuko from crossing over sometimes (such as in the 9th game as playable characters). Yukari likely broke the barrier in the first place due to being close friends with Yuyuko since she was alive. Yukari is a fairly big deal in the overall cannon of Touhou, often brought up as one of the most powerful characters in lore, and one of the founders/creators of the setting Gensokyo. Hope this overly long ramble helps

Cool stuff! Always appreciate knowing the Lore thanks to the people who know the setting. Gotta say the song is still amazing even having no idea what it was about!

@@Shadow-ck5vc Wait. What are spellcard rules. Why do they prohibit killing an opponent?

Uhh that master spark

Is that not her mini hakkero?

​@@Hakurei_Reimu_lostwordprobably but still from the side it sure looks like some rock she picked from the ground😂.

That actually is the Mini Hakkero, it just looks like a rock at a certain angle... or maybe because it's not brown.

​@@schwarzflammenkaiser2347 to be fair, that is definitely a Marisa thing to do.

:3

Storm! you forgot a piece of lyrics into the bandcamp, the very end part with Yukari.

3:38 was she looking up their skirts?

@@averageexistenceenjoyer3950 Of course.

Alice... My dear little girl? *ALICE!?* *ALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICEALICE* *IM GOING TO ALICE!!*
