Raiko's theme. ...Welcome to her concert, featuring backup vocals by the Tsukumo Sisters.
Music is the most base and ancient form of expression, yet it never gets old. That's because people are constantly reworking and remixing and reimagining styles, and keeping it alive in new ways. Touhou arranges are an amazing example of that, and Raiko does well to represent that creative free spirit.
Not wanting to rely on the Miracle Mallet, this tsukumogami sought out a new source of energy that would allow her to be more independent. Now, she draws her power from the echoes of musicians in the outside world. ...Hey, that could be us! Beyond her her cool and charismatic image, Raiko's entire concept makes me feel so happy me because... the Touhou character who obtains her power from human musicians… truly, literally exists in this very way. Music really is a "magic energy," just as Raiko says! May it continue to empower us as well as the rebellious youkai tools who yearn to have a voice.
P.S.: Ever since she joined the Prismriver band in AoCF, offering lots of super-entertaining interaction potential, Raiko has sealed a spot as one of my absolute favorite Touhou characters. Expanding further on the confident and passionate sentiment that I interpreted on her for this song, I've been making a ton of art and fanfiction about her, if you're interested~

Something's brewing... have a listen...
Thunder rumble... lightning glisten...
Smoldering emotion that you've bottled up inside:
Becoming overwhelming, now it's time to turn the tide.
Ready to release it, then, you'll have to raise your voice.
Driven by your nature, do you even have a choice?
Even God needs to vent... even God above...
One thunderous cry... in the key of love...
Rebels of the modern world, channel all your feelings out.
Shout with fear, shout with cheer-- no matter what, shout!
Follow where your rhythm flows; only you can play the part.
Amplify the pounding of your very own heart!
Find a new energy to play...
Washed up on a wavelength, carry me away.
So a truth lives on, hidden in a lie...
Echoing it through, brand new, even to the end of time.
With the rhythm and the phrase rearranged,
Still, it's an ancient melody that will never change.
Oh, it's the essence of all life-- pure, pristine--
Go, so the power reaches out to the land of dreams...
Because... even God needs to vent, even God above!
Rebels of the modern world, channel all your feelings out.
Shout with fear, shout with cheer-- no matter what, shout!
Feel the music fill your veins, pulsing to your very soul.
Take it from the top again-- get up and let's roll!
Those who dare to call us weak, ready for a major shock.
Take your chance and stake your ground-- come on and let's rock!
Sun's been blazing long enough; I'll be drumming up a storm.
This has been my calling since the day I was born.
Letting loose the primal beat, rushing through my very core,
Let me shake your spirit till you're begging for more. (Encore!)
