Rumia ~ Apparitions Stalk the Night ~ Touhou 6 With Lyrics ~ Raiko Rhythm

Introduction ---------------------- I've always wanted to make a video with lyrics for my favorite video game series, Touhou, and here it is. Since I've also just started my Touhou 6 playthrough, I decided to write lyrics for Rumia's theme song, "Apparitions Stalk the Night," which is used as the boss music in Stage 1 of Touhou 6. I really enjoyed doing this, so I plan on writing lyrics for other songs from Touhou 6 as well. However, that will take some time, as creating videos like this takes a lot of time and effort. But anyways, here's some information about the character in this song: Rumia. Song Information ----------------------------- Rumia is a Youkai of the Dusk, which means she can manipulate darkness. Because she's a Youkai, she also tries to eat humans. In the song, she is singing about the atmosphere of the night and her desire to devour you. I also tried to implement many references to the game, such as the scarlet sky and the theme of night blindness. Last but not least, I liked the idea of ​​making her sound like a friendly little child while simultaneously saying dark and threatening things. General Information ---------------------------------- Character : Rumia Original music : "Apparitions Stalk the Night" (妖魔夜行) by ZUN First game apperance : Touhou 6 ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil by Team Shanghai Alice Lyrics, vocals, gameplay, art : Raiko Rhythm Lyrics ---------- Dark yet darker, the atmosphere darkens scarlet red. Bit by bit, lack of lumination will spread. Here in this forest filling you with dread. Who do we have here, all alone in the dark? In my shadow sphere, you won't see a single light spark. Welcome to this romantic night, were only rays of moonlight shine bright. Fear the dark! Your vision’s shrinking! In darkness you are sinking. Is the absence of light not sweet. It’s way better than sunlight’s heat. Don’t you think? I’m becoming tired and my hair’s turning dry in a blink. All kinds of monsters come out to play. Play with us till the bright day. There’s no escape! Waves of bullets, build a lovely shape. Be cautious you might get bite. creeping Spirits hold you tied. You’ll end as food! For everyone. Hahaha! Dark, darker, yet darker darkness swirling eerie around Uncanny creatures creeping in this forest fully unbound. Be on your guard, cause no one’s feeling save and sound. Humans never learn, They get lost and come to these woods. With no hope of return. You’re prey and end as tasty goods. Even though I am a midnight bird. Here in this sphere my vision is blurred. Do you see? Beings can be night-blind. Youkai and mankind. Does my pose make you shake in fright? Like a saint that’s been crucified. Are you afraid? Run all you like but none will come to your aid. Enjoy with me this midnight tune. Come to the dark side of the moon. Be carefree! Demarcation approaches. Apparitions are stalking. In gloomy darkness they’re walking. Lumen arises! Darkness finds it’s end soon.
