Though the Scent Lingers, the Flower Scattered
Vocals: senya
Lyrics: Kamasetora
Composition: ZUN
Arrangement: Iceon
Circle: Yuuhei Satellite
Adapted from Touhou ~ Mountain of Faith: The Gensokyo Gods Loved

Though the scent lingers, the flower scattered one day
It couldn’t even allow me to wander…

The flowers in full boom
taught me one day that living just for the sake of it is a sin
We can’t be parted and I can’t part from you
The feelings I hold only make my heart excited

Touhou Felsic Mirage – Yuuon Zekka, Ryouran no Sai

Lyrics: Izumin
Composition: ZUN
Arrangement: Kurodori
Circle: EastNewSound
Adapted from Touhou Phantasmagoria of Flower View: Past and Present Gensokyo ~ Flower Land

The names of flowers that stained my field of view
Vanished into the ages

Together, we looked up
At the sky where petals fluttered and colors danced
And simply gazed at them wordlessly
It’s a dim memory

Nevertheless, humans try to live, even wretchedly.
I think that is very beautiful.
The timbre of memories is carried by the wind, soaring up into the sky,
dancing freely without being pounded by the rain, and eulogizing life that is short.

Arrangement: Minami Yasuhiro
Circle: M-style
Adapted from Touhou ~the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: U.N. Owen is Her?

In the room where I can’t see anything, not even the flow of time reaches here
My throat grows hoarse and I forget words, unable to even speak
Years and eras pass, yet I don’t realize my own sins
“I’m here,” I cried with a hoarse voice
“I’m here,” …wanting you to notice me, I slash your throat
“I’m here,” …I don’t reach anyone
“Hurry up and find me,” how long should I cry for?
The room is cold and dark, so hurry up and let me out of here

Ascertain that the moment will come
By its warmth

My dewy eyes are deep crimson, I ruffle my sweetly colored skirt
My childish cheeks are flushed crimson, my legs collapse in tingly pain
You’re controlled by a sweet hallucination, the tune blooms when my fingers play it
In the sound of the red black tea dripping, I gouge you deep when I toy with you

A perfectly round scarlet moon appears, shining in from outside the window

That shatters just by touching
I’ll fully envision the future ahead of those fragments

Even if I’m in the midst of flowing time, I feel languid, look, spinning around and around
I can’t even see my heart that leaves me; didn’t you know that?

Unable to move myself away, I continue to be washed down the cracks of time
I don’t know about my surroundings; I am who I am, that’s it

Let me fill you with ephemerality and painfulness, and scatter

The needles of the clock that keep spinning mark the moments
