【Touhou Lyrics】 Primordial Beat ~ Pristine Beat

[@pestermaster7617]

During the part at 1:00, if you listen closely you can hear muffled but heavy breath, as she asks for "noise", it actually sounds like she is getting a bit afraid if her performance will yield enough power to keep her alive , which is pretty much her greatest fear from what I know, but tries to hide it. But then, when she hears shouts you can hear her relief and she continues to sing with complete confidence and chill again. She sounds a lot calmer in the second part than in first minute. I realy love this.

[@F1nalVer1dict]

[@gugalaxy7772]

"Even god needs to vent" hit me like a spark of inspiration for a couple of things in life. Really creative lyric right there.

[@lyrica-live]

Wow, I absolutely love hearing comments like this!! Describing it as a "spark" that you got from Raiko is especially satisfying... The power of music to inspire is such a wonderful thing. Thank you very much for listening, and I wish you the very best with your endeavors! ^^

[@kutagari]

Loving the popstar vibe I'm getting from her! And that you left the drum solo untouched, which is (in my opinion) one of the most powerful moments of the original, and you took that and incorporated it into the song very well! Just letting it exist and work its own magic (in the same way that the tools in DDC just start doing what they feel, eh? :P)

The desire to reach out through the comments has been brewing for two months now, and I can't think of a better place than on the video of a youkai that's entirely about human expression! Lyrica - at the end of July, I was looking to link Touhou music to a friend when I accidentally stumbled across your cover of "Catastrophe in Bhava-agra ~ Wonderful Heaven". Within a few hours, I listened to all of your work, and by the end of it, I'd downloaded all of it to my phone. I just want to take a moment to acknowledge how much I appreciate, admire and respect you. You have an incredible talent for singing and writing. The words you put to Touhou songs are insightful: they bring characters to life by drawing on the deepest ideas, ideals and struggles that they represent. In your singing, you harmonise with the music and provide a space where both vocals and instruments can be enjoyed both individually and as a whole. I can really sense the thought you put into what you write, the passion for what you sing, and the generosity you have for what you share through the very act of your self-expression. Seriously - you left an impact on me. I've been listening to Touhou music for over 6 years, to the point where it dominates my music library by a vast majority. I loved playing the games (poorly, naturally) and getting sunk into the story behind the characters - but never did I connect with some of them so closely as I have done while listening to the life you breathed into them. I found myself crying as I sang along to Wonderful Heaven, Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke and even Futatsuiwa from Sado the other night as I saw something personal for myself in chanting out "So many faces here to choose; well today, here’s who I wanna be." There is something so emotively alive in your music. You inspire me. Thank you for what you are doing, how you are expressing yourself, and who you are being. Keep up the sheer brilliance that is Lyrica Live!

[@lyrica-live]

T-thank you so much... ;v; I just keep looking back to these words over and over. They make me feel humbled and powerful at the same time! I can't tell you how much I appreciate being complimented so specifically, and being told I've accomplished exactly everything I hope to accomplish and more. It's a pleasure and an honor to be able to play that kind of role with regard to the series's amazing characters, in the lives of such kind and intelligent fellow fans, and I hope to never stop. Your support really is my precious energy source... (P.S. No worries, I play the games poorly too. It really is the thought put into it that counts, isn't it?)

[@minepose98]

We have a lot of musical characters in Touhou now. You've got Raiko, Benben and Yatsuhashi, the Prismrivers, and now you could have Mai and Satono to dance. Am I missing anyone?

[@ColossatronProductions]

minepose98 Kyuoko and Mystia?Well they're mor like singing but still.

[@minepose98]

Ooo, yes.

[@Lilstarlight_]

Kokoro to can also dance

[@bakoi8575]

well she is a taiko drum turned sukumogami, so it makes sense she wants to be played/playing music and yet again i forgot my profile pic is raiko

[@Umbralon]

Pristine indeed. Nice touch having the Tsukumo sisters be backup here.

"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. " my GOSH these lyrics go HARD

[@joitsjustjo1124]

I have listened to this about 20 times and I don't plan on stopping

[@teirdalin]

"Even god needs to vent." Pretty sus.

[@niajohnson5741]

Omg I just started listening to this and now it’s raining and thundering XD On a side note: I actually never grew fond of this theme but after listening to lyrica’s cover of it a few times I grew to like it a lot!

[@MarioSonicHQ]

Ooooh this is one I've been waiting on for a while, and you did not disappoint! I've done my own adaptation of this song some time back, but even then I can see myself covering this version in the near future. In particular I really liked how you held out the note on the word love while another track continued into the chorus. I would've never thought of that myself! In the beginning it doesn't seem like your voice is used to singing quite that low, but I understand the feeling as it's a matter of one's own vocal range (though the issue with my range is on the opposite of the spectrum in that I can't sing too high without wearing out my voice lol.) Despite that, you sound quite confident throughout pretty much the entirety of the song, and that's something that REALLY matters (to me at least.) On the whole, great job!

[@GUMPAAful]

Yes!! One of my favorite theme in touhou sing by one of the best vocalist i have hear in the touhou community, this is so good!!! Also even if the Tsukumo sister were the core it would be awesome to put the primsriver too after knowing that now Raiko is part of the group of the Primsriver Sisters

[@lyrica-live]

Haha... I recently read what's been translated of Alternative Facts, adored it, and seriously considered it... Of course, since this is Raiko's DDC theme and references topics from the game proper, I think it's best to acknowledge the Tsukumos. But hey, technically, you can still say this IS a collaboration with Lyrica Live after all!

[@minepose98]

[@giganino10]

maybe now i can get schrodinger's bakeneko out of my head, also like the touch of benben and yatsuhashi being there.

[@lunathick]

Yes! this is my absolute favorite touhou theme and so glad you did a song for it. there were so many things good with this: 1. you keeping up with the beat even at the very quick parts 2. doing it like a concert of raiko's, which was just a little bit I loved 3. letting the taiko drum solo play itself out rather than make lyrics over it honestly pristine beat is such a good piece, especially being completely drum centered, which is quite the undermined instrument, and I'm so glad you giving it the credit it deserves

[@anonymousmonkey9491]

it's very electrifying XD

[@starbowsbreak]

I've been looking forward to this one! Raiko is one of my favorite girls!

[@LucarioDoT]

Probably shouldn't have watched this as it is 1:30am and now I feel more awake than I did an hour ago. No regrets. Keep up the good work, Lyrica.

[@Celalec]

This one deffinately has a different feeling from the rest, i think that's beautiful. The way you can adapt your lyrics and singing to the atmosphere really shows in songs like these. Great job as always!

[@derpyamu6453]

So, this happened on the Touhou Amino. Someone did some fanart of Raiko, and than someone else started a lyric chain.

[@xxSapphirexRyuuxx]

I was waiting for this one for a long while, and it was definitely worth the wait! ♥ Raiko's theme is definitely one of my favorites, and I love what you've done with it! Especially the drum solo left untouched at the end to invoke a concert; one of my favorite parts from the original and it was handled nicely. I always looked forward to new uploads; keep up the good work, have fun with them, and good luck! ♥

[@tgtterrorizor3407]

All of these videos you do sound like part of one big musical. Nice job. 👍

[@lyrica-live]

:D What a wonderful compliment! I love the idea of a Touhou musical, and love evoking the vibe of something that lets the characters perform their own stories~ Thank you very much!

[@ivoryvt]

This made me realize. Back when I did the Touhou sorter. I was wrong to put her as low as I did. She should've been up with some of my favorites, because she is now one of them.

[@acyclicpepper34]

Love the references to the Touhou mangas, especially Grimoire of Usami, and well as the DDC love!~

[@lyrica-live]

Thank you! ^^ Although, I had to check... I actually wrote these lyrics before Grimoire of Usami came out. I remember specifically being pretty glad, when I did read GoU, that it strongly validated the passionate performery personality I had previously gathered from Raiko... So I'd be curious to know what you thought was a reference. (Or maybe you mean there was an allusion to something not related to Raiko herself that was coincidentally predicted!)

[@erosthespy]

AH, THAT WAS AMAZING TO LISTEN TO.

[@CeruleanSeal]

It's a no-brainer why this one took so long. I've always enjoyed the lyrics for this one but never would have imagined such an experience put into the video just from that alone. Love how you involved the Tsukumo sisters as background singers and managed to make us feel like we're actually in the front row of an astounding concert. This just shows how much more quality comes from working on these for so long, and all the more reason I urge to you take all the time you need with each and every song to put your heart into it. I can almost guarantee the outcome will be worth every second.

[@Touhou20246]

Almost all of the songs you make me feel happy in a good way. Is what I typed in just now a nice thing to type in?

[@shinyaltaria1388]

I know it's been 4 years, but what you said makes somewhat sense, and by that the bit that didn't make sense is why did you need to clarify happy in a good way? What, is there a bad way to be happy listening to music?
