【Touhou Lyrics】 Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion

/ lyricalive
Okuu's theme. ...It's probably the most straightforward, hype-inducing, overwhelmingly high-energy classic boss theme in the series, and deserves lyrics just as strong.
This is one big power-trip song. She unwaveringly believes in the authority of something like a "god"... but once she gets a taste of that insane raw power, she thinks she's hot stuff and basically a god herself. Appropriately, the metaphor of "flying too close to the sun" comes to mind.

Utsuho Reiuji: "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion"
Original music by ZUN.
English lyrics and fandub vocals by me.
Art from the official art book, The Grimoire of Marisa.
---
[ ☢ CAUTION!! ☢ CAUTION!! ☢ CAUTION!! ☢ ]
“This is NOT a test. This is the power of Lord Yatagarasu, the Black Sun.
You don’t believe it? Then you probably won’t see it coming."
Lock on my target, and ready…go!
And it’s not hard to do when it’s all I know.
When a voice from the sky whispers in my ear…
With the stars on my side, I can lose all fear.
TOO HOT? I’ll burn brighter.
TOO HIGH? I’ll fly higher.
TOO CLOSE? I’ll bring it right down to the wire.
SET IT ON FIRE!!
“One chance. Take it and the world is ours!”
Hear, the will of a wise old god.
Look! Truth is in the blazing stars!
True… Then everything else is flawed.
[ ☢ CAUTION!! ☢ CAUTION!! ☢ CAUTION!! ☢ ]
"What? A foreign substance has been detected in the reactor!
Operations are to be halted, and the foreign substance eradicated immediately!”
I can still feel that rumbling deep inside.
Let the dream fill me up till I’m satisfied.
A reaction at ten times the speed of sound,
With a force that can break through the underground!
See the energy boiling, I just can’t lose.
If you think you’re my match, then come on, let’s fuse!
What’s contained under pressure, I’ll set it free-
And at last, I’m as strong as I need to be!
ACCESS: control tower.
COUNTDOWN: your last hour.
THIS IS: the era of a modern power.
EVEN GODS COWER!!
One shot. Take it and the world is mine!
Oh, the rest of you think too much.
Rise! Hotter than the sun, I’ll shine!
You… You’ll burn with a single touch.

Can we talk about how Okuu is basically the swaggiest villain in Touhou history? Her backstory is literally like "Hey, thanks for giving me the power of the Gods - What, you want me to use it to HELP people? No thanks, I'm just gonna take over the world instead, see ya, sucker!"

[@anueutsuho7425]

She just wanted to blow things up because she thought it would be cool. Then she got beaten up and doesn't even feel ill will toward Reimu and Marisa because the fight was cool and awesome. I love Utsuho she's so extra.

[@exumbra1399]

It's also not clear if she understood that burning everything would kill everyone. She and the other underworlders are doing just fine in that sizzling hellscape, after all! "Okuu, that kills people!" "Oh! Well, color me surprised."

[@Ponera-Sama]

If I were to give my serious interpretation of the character and her motives, I'd think it probably has to do with Okuu thinking the people and Youkai on the surface don't *deserve* her help. "Why would she help the ones whose only treatment of her and the people she loves (especially Satori) was with prejudice and hatred? Their actions don't deserve reward, they deserve punishment!"

[@deathserpent9747]

Actually it's cause she's dumb af and thought that blowing up the world was what kanako and other underworlders wanted

Love how she went from "word of god" and "world is ours" to "even gods cower" and "world is mine". Either the power was getting to her head, or the heat was frying her (bird)brain, Okuu was really getting more and more cocky as the song progresses.

(The Yatagarasu is a three legged crow-god whose corpse Utsuho ate to gain her power of Nuclear Fusion) 0:30 "And it's not hard to do when it's all I know." (Utsuho nears Cirno's level of stupidity.) 0:35 "When a voice from the sky whispers in my ear..." (Kanako gave Utsuho her power and wanted to rekindle the fires of blazing hell by building a nuclear reactor, who was Utsuho.) 0:57 "'One chance... Take it and the world is ours!' Hear, the will of a wise old god." (Utsuho's misinterpretation of Kanako's orders, which caused her to decide to try and take over Gensokyo.) 1:11 "Truth is in the blazing stars!" (Blazing star is one of Utsuho's spell prefixes.) 1:20 "A foreign substance has been detected in the reactor!" (This is you, while playing the game.) 1:47 "With a force that can break through the underground!" (Utsuho's plan to take over Gensokyo had something to do with explosions. Lots and lots of them.) 1:58 "If you think you're my match, then come on, let's fuse" (Nuclear fusion. *Insert Jontron's FUN-NY JOKE here*) 2:15 "ACCESS: Control tower," (The giant cannon-thing on Utsuho's arm represents the control and Fuel rods of the nuclear plant.) haz I dun gud?

[@lyrica-live]

YOU DID VERY GOOD!! That's pretty much all the game references. The spoken part at 1:20 was more specifically taken from her dialogue in Hisoutensoku, but the intention was exactly that: *you* are the foreign contaminant. The only way I'd be happier is if you mentioned the Gurren Lagann reference in "Go beyond the impossible!" being shouted alongside the mention of breaking through the underground.

There were some parts in this that I didn't QUITE like, but it's still amazing, especially the power from the chorus. Both Okuu and her theme are one of my favorites from the entire series, and you DEFINITELY delivered the shit outta it to me. You're awesome.

[@fangzhang9376]

Can we just talk about the lines _What’s contained under pressure, I’ll set it free-_ _And at last, I’m as strong as I need to be!_ Okuu just wants to break the barrier between the underground and the above-ground Gensokyo --- what is essentially a barrier of miscommunication and prejudice --- *by brute force.* Well, as someone who is not good at communication, sometimes I want to do that too.

[@youmukonpaku3168]

bit of a necropost here, but also quite a few of the lyrics are both describing Utsuho's actions/desires...and also failure modes that resulted in nuclear disasters. Radiation exposure or overheating (Slotin's demon core accident or Chernobyl #4 elephant's foot; too hot/burn brighter); coolant loss (Fukushima Daiichi; too high/fly higher), control rod combustion (Windscale 5; set it on fire), SCRAM (many; bring it down to the wire), pressure containment failure (Chernobyl #4; set it free...)

[@shinki5361]

Considering that Utsuho is my favorite character my expectations for this were pretty damn high I gotta say, nuclear physics just ionise me (get it ? ) However this IS exactly what I feel when I listen to solar sect of mystic wisdon, it fits just perfectly, the excitement thats building up during the song are just overwhelming, and I could enjoy the rhyme pattern just as well, I wouldn't mind listening to this all day it fits just as it is supposed to be Thank you Lyrica

[@shinki5361]

By the way, the sun fuses around 600k tons Hydrogen to 570k tons Helium in just a second, the rest is transformed into energy the scary fact is that one square meter of the sun would be enough energy for one year here on earth And the sun is nothing compared to R136a1 What I wanted to say is that Okuu wouldn't have much of a problem to do what she wanted if it wasn't for the spellcard rules if I calculated it right you would make more energy with 25 grams of helium an hour than a coal-fired power station in multiple DAYS

[@MECHDRAGON777]

Looks like we both like Utsuho to much (She used to be my favorite until recently) so yeah. If the spell card rules were not there, I would love to see what she is capable of.

[@shinki5361]

MECHDRAGON777 Just let me tell you that the energy she could release would like it has been said so many times before be enough to evaporate the whole planet so many times over and over again that it makes no sense to count

[@MECHDRAGON777]

That is quite shocking to hear, but not as surprising as most would think. Lord Yatagurasu truly is powerful.

[@shinki5361]

MECHDRAGON777 Strong but Yatagarasu himself won't make it beyond Carbon in the case of fusion, the fact that Okuu's ability herself of controlling nuclear fusion isn't determined this could mean she would go till iron and unleash even more energy through a supernova (which can eradicate life in the radius of a few hundred lightyears ) if she had in fact enough mass to fuse

[@kirankumar9434]

“This is the Era of a Modern Power! Even Gods Cower!” Do you know what those lines remind me of? The Soviet Union! Its emergence as a “modern power” put a heavy reliance on nuclear energy, and it was also heavily opposed to religion as an atheist state too. So nice allusions here.

[@lyrica-live]

I'd been working on this for quite a while already, and the way I usually decide what to work on next is just back and forth between whatever random WIP I feel most capable of or confident in at the time-- but maybe that video was somewhat of a subconscious influence for me to focus on this one in particular. I am definitely a fan of MinusT's work and I loved it. ...I'm also a fan of Gurren Lagann, yesss.

*+Lyrica Live* Heheheh, well, judging by the amount of fanart Subterranean Stars has already produced, you clearly wouldn't be the only one who was inspired by watching it if that indeed was the case. ^__^ Who _isn't_ a fan of Gurren Lagann? xD I mean, yeah, those who have never even heard of it obviously cannot be fans, but they are sunctimonious (urgh, that pun hurt) heretics so they don't count. ...wait a second. You say minusT's video might've been a "subconscious influence" for you to focus on this song? And if you're perceptive enough, you might subconsciously notice a certain little sister sneaking around in minusT's video... and _you_ are pretty well known for squeezing in quite a lot of little bonuses in your texts as well...

Glad to hear I'm not the only person inclined to make an evil laugh when I hear the beginning of this song.

[@Ciurk]

the beginning i'd say is a bit rough but it gets way better

Good job keeping up the rhyming all the way through! Maybe one thing I would have adjusted is the announcement at the start, just to make it a little more cackling - something like "in the event of a nuclear emergency... YOU CAN KISS YOUR LIFE GOODBYE!" or along those lines. That's only a subjective niggle though and the lyrics themselves are all characterful, so good job.
