【Touhou Lyrics】 Our Hisoutensoku

  / lyricalive  

The pre-battle theme for an unlikely trio of protagonists: Cirno, Meiling, and Sanae. ...In this energetic, anime-inspired track, they debate over the identity of a mysterious figure called Hisoutensoku. Can our heroes chase down and defeat the grand enigma? Stay tuned to find out! (Or just play the funny fighting game, 12.3.)

This one is packed with over-the-top silly personality, and I had a lot of fun doing all three characters' voices. Cirno is always a big fave. And it must be fate that the strongest fairy would help this channel make a comeback on her special day! Happy 9/9, everyone!

Did you see that shadow? As wide as a mountain even.
Did you see that shadow? One no one would dare believe in.
Did you see that shadow? Its figure is quite deceiving.
Do you see it now? It's here… It's here… It's here!
Beware! The shadow is a –

Hey! Have you guys heard of the tale about a monster of epic size? (Oh, my gosh!)
He's got two hands that lift the mountains for sport, a head with bright red glowing eyes. (Daidarabotchi?)
They say… that just the stamp of his foot can make a hole like a giant lake. (That is so.)
But if he tries to take a step into mine, then that'll sure be his last mistake! (Will it now?)

You bet! If I can win right here, then I can prove that I'm the biggest deal.
He'll be nothing left in the end at all: a punching-bag, lousy, ragged doll!

Beyond the foggy horizon, a specter is rising:
Who finds it first is the luck of the draw.
Because power is justice! Believe in what just is!
Obey the pull of the natural law.
Something's causing a fuss now. The strongest of us now
Will beat the odds, as a hero should do.
And I'll be goin' the bold route, for knockin' him cold out.
The legend starts brand new: HI-SOU-TE-N-SO-KU!

Did you see that shadow? Away in the distance, gleaming.
Did you see that shadow? Uncannily human-seeming.
Did you see that shadow? As wild as a dream you're dreaming.
Do you see it now? Wake up. Wake up. Wake up?
Wake up! The shadow is a –

What? If an intruder is all, they are no match for the scarlet keep. (Are you sure?)
Because my wits are trained as sharp as my hits, why, I could even catch them in my sleep. (You can't catch me though!)
But wait… I sense an ominous aura from beyond our realm, I fear. (Whatcha mean?)
Bizarre, indeed. The qi that flows in reverse betrays that something is fishy here. (What a smell…)

Dark fate! Has the Disaster come, and with his minions in disguise at heel?
What truth remains by the time he's done? My so-called friends… I can trust no one!

Beyond the foggy horizon, a specter is rising:
To test us all in a battle of will!
No matter how great the scope is, the ultimate hope is
The heart of a dragon is greater still.
With a spin and a shift, quick, deliver a swift kick,
And bravely face this earth-shattering view.
So like the arc of a rainbow, we go where we must go.
The legend's name rings through: HI-SOU-TE-N-SO-KU!

Did you see that shadow? The sign of a war unending!
Did you see that shadow? The sign of our doom impending.
Did you see that shadow? The sign of a god ascending?
Do you see it now? Oh, no… Oh, yes… I see…
That's it! The shadow is a –

Ah… Let's take a breath of fresh air before the truth ravels out of hand. (*sigh*)
The pieces all have been combining to one, and now I have the faith to understand. (Whatever, lady!)
Our world… is an impossible world, and so my guess must befit the scene. (Go on then.)
There is a long and honored history, once recorded straight from the TV screen! (What is that?)

This form who wears the crown of light could be a super robot legend, for real!
Is its pilot pure? Can we know? The shape that looms may be friend or foe…

Beyond the foggy horizon, a specter is rising:
Transform our prayers into victory goals.
As a hero of justice, a hero we trust is
To take the stand now, and take the controls.
By the power I'm holding, the secret's unfolding,
Where fantasy will collide with the true.
It could be anyone's story, for fame and for glory…
Today, it's mine with you: HI-SOU-TE-N-SO-KU!
