【Touhou Lyrics】 Reincarnation

/ lyricalive
Mima's theme. ...OMG, DID YOU HEAR MIMA WAS CONFIRMED FOR THE NEW GAME!? ...No? That's 'cause she wasn't~.
It's fitting for someone with a theme called "Reincarnation," whose role as a vengeful spirit is to seek "return," to be associated with a fandom joke about "needing to return." Who knows, maybe she has already taken new form and appeared somewhere? I wrote this thinking of how bits of her old character already echo through the new canon: through Marisa's spell cards and astronomical motifs, certain familiar plot elements... In the end, Mima is most fun to imagine as someone who is always haunting behind the scenes.

“Well, hello there. It’s been a while…”
Sealed in a sacred shrine…
Back to claim what’s mine…
By light of day, I fade away…
But by the night, I come to play…
Because revenge is the end I seek… ((Return to the scene of the crime))
Here I reach my peak… ((Soon is the time))
Those pits of hell to which I fell… ((As the lower you go, the higher I stand))
They can’t contain this magic spell… ((Who cast me down, now fall by my hand))
This dripping knife is the edge of a journey new.
One life would be far too short, far too few…
Strife is the future in store for you.
Death is too easy, too easy to undo…!
Spin for me, spin for me, spin for me! ((Orbit for me alone))
Forever, I’m the center of my orrery. ((A universe all my own))
While darkness reigns, I entrust with the sun ((Reach for a star unknown…))
Those human hands that reach beyond humanity.
My wish fulfilled, you saw the full moon shine. ((You’ve been having your fun))
Some fateful day, the bodies all shall realign: ((Blind to a deed long done))
They’ll SPIN AROUND, spin around only one, ((There’s only room for one…))
And everything - oh, everything - it will be mine.
“...What? There’s no going back now. Isn’t this what you asked for?
Who do you think I am anyway... Just a rumor? Just an urban legend?
I’ll give you plenty of reason to believe… I’m so much more than that.”
More… give me more! Settle the score:
Reborn, twice as strong as before…
I am chained to no body, existing higher:
Take any form as I may desire.
Stake all the doubters upon the pyre;
Then, soon enough I will rise from the fire…!
Fill the gaps deep in your memory. ((Follow the story straight))
Those spirits called my lucky number, can’t you see? ((Surely it’s only fate))
I’ll answer now, ready, I’ll play the part, ((I’ll reincarnate…))
Just waiting on a single word to set me free.
Your mind is as weak as the night is black. ((Remember the forgotten art))
It’s just imagination that you seem to lack… ((I’ll be happy to open your heart))
I’ve BEEN AROUND, been around from the start, ((From the very start…))
And certainly - oh, certainly - I will be back.

[@N0VANE0]

"And certainly - oh, certainly - I will be back." Stop lying to yourself, Mima.

[@SiDEMA.]

Josh29 Who knows.. mabe she will come back? (Those are only my thoughts)

[@alicemargatroid6758]

how did mima return for touhou 16 then

[@gypsysprite4824]

technecally she still exists somewhere since as long as it doesn't conflict with the windows canon, all pc-98 stuff is canon

[@gypsysprite4824]

@Heather Holbrook MY guess is that Mima is currently either Locked away in hell (which would mean she has a non-zero chace of appearing as probably a ex/maybe a new bonus stage boss i WBaWC) or Reimu finally managed to figure out how to seal Mima for more than two seconds

[@9thpotatolordo108]

About the shrine being haunted I think it was referring to kana more than it was referring to mima lol

[@kylefinn5301]

The four horsemen of things that are never going to happen: 1. Waluigi being playable in smash 2. Valve releasing anything with “3” in the name 3. The heavy update 4. Mima appearing in any official Touhou game after the fifth

[@ssaamil]

@@skydub7844 I really wonder what's gonna come after "Phantasmagoria of" if 3rd one happens

[@gypsysprite4824]

btw, Mima technically exists somewhere as of the windows canon since ZUN has stated that, as long as it does not contradict windows canon, pc-98 shit is still canon

[@gengarzilla1685]

In Curiosities of Lotua Asia Chapter 25, Reimu mentions that the shrine was taken over by an evil spirit in the past. Now isn't that interesting?

[@arcanearc]

my friend made a really interesting theory about Mima. I was talking about her and mentioned her theme is called 'Reincarnation' and then she said "Then perhaps she's already back in the form of another character."

Most likely char who she could have been reborn as is Sanae but dont take my word for this im just speculating

[@roslidarose9666]

[@moritamikamikara3879]

And calling us uncreative XD

[@speedstriker]

Mima is the pure embodiment of vindictiveness and malice, no matter how nicely she acts, or feel, on a daily basis. It's fitting for her to continue to haunt the Touhou franchise even after being purged in the Windows era where nothing is taken too seriously by any character.

[@guncatto2625]

4 games is enough, Mima. MIMA CONFIRMED ON TOUHOU 20!?!?!

[@speedstriker]

BONES! THEY SHIVER!

[@gengarzilla1685]

As comparison, Marisa had also appeared in 4 games by the end of Touhou's PC-98 era. And now she's long eclipsed Mima's tenure.

[@jouheikisaragi6075]

Interesting Mima fact from your local Akasha resident: Mima was given a Pseudo backstory in DiPP. She is mentioned to be a girl who lives in a western mansion deep in the forest of magic who visited the village. Sounds an awful lot like Marisa eh? The text also mentions something interesting: the narrator claims this lady(Mima) had a daughter. They look so much alike they must he family. So in gives some leeway to think Marisa is Mima's daughter. Kinda makes Marisa seem sadder since she is literally walking the path that got her mom killed.

[@twilitlloyd7167]

Marisa is Mima’s student. It’s actual canon.

[@RazorToaster]

Mima has a daughter????? Milf confirmed?????????????????

[@22dolls19]

[@Inukunai]

@COOLkid123 goodForLife_103 Keine has always seemed like an interesting character, and the ability to manipulate history seems neat, so perhaps I'd be a hakutaku like her. Or if we're going by pure cuteness, a bakeneko like Chen c: I was originally going to say Marisa, but to be fair, she's just a human with too much magic powers for her own good (still my favorite character tho) :P

[@moudutta5023]

@COOLkid123 goodForLife_103 I have chosen Mokou because why not she has a sad story and Keine.

[@Mari_Intothestaircase]

It'd be cool if she did return but I'm not getting my hopes up because it's been nearly 20 years since we last saw her. That aside, I'd sorta prefer Shinki coming back just for the possible Alice connections.

[@CannedPsycho-]

Mima? I miss Kana Anaberal :( having no dreams when you sleep and when your awake is quite annoying and can probably give you unbelievable stress.

Around 1:07, at the section after "Spin for me, spin for me," the melody and the supporting vocals produced a certain kind of dissonance that somewhat reminded me of Attack of Titan's "Yuugure no Tori," which gave me terrifying chills, which speaks about how good this rendition is. It's amazing. Since this was created two years before Yuugure no Tori, it somewhat makes me feel bad that the older song reminded me of the younger one :(

[@wonderlandeldemonanastasi]

Hi LL, this was always my favorite of your covers, and upon recently returning to it after having cracked my egg seven years ago, I consider this one of my trans anthems 💚 so many of the lyrics can be interpreted to refer to being trans, and even the spoken section about being a rumor or urban legend can apply to us trans guys since so many people think we don't exist. Especially since starting testosterone ten weeks ago, "I am chained to no body, existing higher." And the lines "this knife is the edge of a journey new / one life would be far too short, far too few" go really hard because because surgeries are key milestones in many of our transition journeys, and the lives we were assigned to live based on the external characteristics we presented when we were born are not worth living (re: transgender suic1de rate) -- since having started testosterone, my nihilistic thoughts have diminished, and my most recent instance, I felt the desire to fight, to keep going, to bust my ass to survive, because my life is worth living now. I am finally becoming -- reincarnating as -- the true me I have only been able to be in dreams, or vicariously through OCs. I am experiencing for the first time the happiness cis people have experienced their entire lives. The corners of my mouth perpetually curl up now. The morning after my first testosterone administration, I felt like I was feeling the sunlight for the first time after fifteen years spent in a cold, dark cave (I started growing breasts fifteen years ago). Those pits of hell to which I fell (dysphoria), they can't contain the power of modern medicine that allows me to LIVE! Truly and FULLY, as ME! I am more and more in love with my body every day, and my vocal changes are turning me from a mouse to a roaring lion! I want to cover your lyrics of Reincarnation to document my voice change on T 😁 it's such a bop, ma'am, especially since I'm now interpreting the lyrics in this way. So so happy. Thank you for writing these.

[@lyrica-live]

💖 💖 💖 Thank you so, so, so much for sharing this. ;v; The connections that you've made are absolutely amazing!!! I'm so surprised at how well you say it matches up to your experience -- though not impossibly surprised, because I have a lot of stock in the theme of "self-determination of identity," so I'm really glad that the seeds of those ideals can shine through the words even in a song that wasn't originally intended to be that meaningful! I would be very pleased to hear that cover, if you ever do it! I'm extremely touched that my lyrics can be an accompaniment to your story, while I'm also more importantly in great admiration of your own creativity and personal strength. Huge congratulations on your reincarnation!! Also, I might have just gained a new headcanon about why Mima is no longer a core member of Touhou's feminine cast... but surely living an authentically mischievous new life out there somewhere... 🤭

[@gypsysprite4824]

yeah the sprites in touhou 1 were often rather intricate (by 199x standards) and abstract/wierd compared to future games. the worst part with mima is due to a potential graphics oversight, when doing one of her attacks, she gains a third arm wince it never gets rid of the arm with the knife for the knife swinging animation

[@2402Stevo]

This is fucking amazing

[@gengarzilla1685]

Using context given by Symposium of Post-mysticism and Foul Detective Satori about the sheer danger posed by vengeful spirits towards youkai, my theory about Mima is that her decision to become a god in her Mystic Square extra ending led to her being permanently ended by Yukari, without Reimu or Marisa's knowledge since neither could be trusted to do this job, as a pre-emptive intervention before this vengeful spirit's new ambitious path made her too powerful to contain. Yes, I've concluded that she was simply obliterated mere moments after her last appearance by the one who aggressively maintains Gensokyo's order. Sue me.

Normally I'm not one for 2 things. The music in the phantasmagoria games, and the PC-98 era. but I am in love with this song! Personally I believe while it's not direct reincarnation, I get the feeling Sanae has some sort of inspiration from Mima, and was meant to be ZUN's way of bringing her back to the modern era... Shame most people hate the wind priestess, (speak of the devil I know you don't take requests but God I hope to eventually hear something of Faith is for the transient people sorry) Either way I get the feeling She's fallen farther than just a spirit. RIP Mima, of course I could be wrong and ZUN has plans to bring her back behind our backs... Okay I'm not gonna lie, I looked away for a s econd and had to rewind to find out the lyrics were "The center of my orrery" as opposed to what I heard, "The center of my ovaries"...

[@bryceisender9142]

I have a theory that keine may have been responsible for the pc-98 characters dissappearence. I think at some point Kiene must have erased all of them only leaving vague memories. This would explain why the pc-98 timeline and the windows timeline conflict. And also why the characters haven't appeared and only have been mentioned. ( To be clear the timeline would of been eaten rather than just the characters.) This could leave a potential of them returning if the pc-98 universe is reattached.

What's with "spin around"???

[@lyrica-live]

Odd Wright ? What's with it? That whole bit is playing on the metaphor of an "orrery": a model of the solar system, as seen in her spell cards. Mima is saying that she will make herself the center of the universe, so that all the planets ("bodies") will orbit around her and her own desires. -"Spin around" also cleverly rhymes with "I've been around"-

[@oddwright7913]

OOHH!! i didn't know what orrery meant.. thanks!

So many requests in the comments... Perhaps you should place a disclaimer on the fact you won't be taking any in the description?

[@cirnobaka8948]

Hello Lyrica! Do you think it'll be OK if I make a few Vocaloid covers of your songs? Of course I'll credit you and everything. :D

[@lyrica-live]

Ohhh, of course~! That sounds awesome! Honestly, if I had a Vocaloid that I knew how to use skillfully, I probably would have had them sing for me from the start, heheh... Thanks so much, and please tell me if you do!

[@cirnobaka8948]

Lyrica Live I'm not that good at it though since I've only started actually making Vocaloid music the other day. I'm currently doing Kogasa's theme. I'll try my very best with it though, so I'm sorry if it'll not be as you'd hope it would! :D

[@cirnobaka8948]

Lyrica Live Also, I've done to part of Kogasa's theme, but Luka's voice doesn't go that low. Well it does but it doesn't sound as low as you do. I'm stuck on "cling to that umbrella so tight." I've also done part of Sakuya's theme with Luka. The first few parts sound good, but then it sounds like gibberish afterwards. I don't know how to fix this. Do you have the link to the slowed down version you used? Perhaps I can use that instead of trying to make Luka sing _"The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku"_. Heh.

[@lyrica-live]

Ohh, I see-- well if it doesn't work out, then that's okay! Ahh, for Sakuya's theme, I just used the "Change Tempo" tool in Audacity to slow it down! There is no actual slow version.

[@cirnobaka8948]

Lyrica Live Ah right then. I'll have a go in Audacity if I can slow it down. If not, it'll have to do. It would be my second attempt after all. Perhaps I'll make an updated version in the future when I get better. :)

Reincarnation AKA what Mima will never achieve

[@sonnywijaya1112]

I was heartbroken wen Mima didnt came back in other Touhou games

[@GrahamChapman]

Oh, but she did come back... It's just that, these days, she goes by the name "Marisa Kirisame."

[@WatatsukiNoToyohime]

​@@GrahamChapmanMake sense since Mima back then was Reimu's rival just like Marisa

[@GrahamChapman]

@@WatatsukiNoToyohime Quite. And, back then, Mima used to make outrageous lies for no reason. And she was a little off her rocker, too. All in all, if Mima made a return, we'd basically just have two Marisas.

[@prismus6520]

Hey Ririka. Ca you make the full versh of both "Treacherous Maiden ~ Judas Kiss" and "Crimson Maiden ~ Crimson Dead!!" next time?

[@wdg2384]

Okay, now do "Complete Darkness" (Mima's original theme)

[@examswillkillmeoneday1265]

ZUN knows how much everyone wants Mima back... I guess maybe he's not one to give in to fans :( it's a shame~

[@nintendash9943]

Quick question, wasn't she the original user of the master spark?

[@ColossatronProductions]

Omnimon What about the Twilight Spark?( I bet it's even canon though)

[@22dolls19]

Colossatron Productions That's the question.. So, the current users of the Master Spark or similar are Yuuka, Marisa, Gengetsu, and Mima. As far as I know, Gengetsu used it because of some dream stuff from Yuuka (similar like when Doremy could use everything in dreams, I guess). Also, Marisa either copied it from Yuuka or learned it from Mima.. Don't know which one. But between Yuuka and Mima.. Also, thier sparks have different names. So both may have invented thier own style.

[@hereLiesThisTroper]

I await the return of the dark mistress...
