Title: 陳腐ストーリー
Romaji: Chinpu Story
Translation: Clichéd story
Arrangement: Comp
Lyrics: Ranko
Vocals: Ranko
Original themes:
- Chireitachi no Kishou – Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism; title screen theme
- Kurayami no Fuuketsu – Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism; stage 1 theme
Album:
- Abyss (track 7)
Sample:
Ranko: It’s from Reimu’s viewpoint.
This time I was a little conscious about writing the lyrics for the first and last tracks of Subterranean Animism.
This song is exactly like the lyrics, the story begins! It has a sprint feel. The sound of the synth is good, isn’t it?
Lyrics
平和なんて何か起こる前のフラグ
回収して、あきれ顔で
湧き出てくる地霊達をぶっ潰した
heiwa nante nanika okoru mae no furagu
kaishuu shite, akiregao de
wakidete kuru chireitachi wo buttsubushita
「こんなはずじゃなかった」なんて
いつもいつでもぼやいてる
レール敷かれて崖っぷち
“konna hazu janakatta” nante
itsumo itsu demo boyaiteru
reeru shikarete gakeppuchi
物語、知らずに始まる
開いたままの幕は閉まり方を忘れ
向かい風めがけて飛んでく
面倒ね全員倒して早く帰ろう
monogatari, shirazu ni hajimaru
aita mama no maku wa shimari kata wo wasure
mukaikaze megakete tondeku
mendou ne zen’in taoshite hayaku kaerou
忌避されてる忘恩の徒よ
厭み退いた過去の強敵よ
唆され夢を抱き墜ちてく哀れな小鳥よ
kihi sareteru bouon no to yo
itami noita kako no tomo yo
sosonokasare yume wo idakiochiteku aware na kotori yo
全て終わり平和になったら
温泉でも浸かりにおいで
それもまたフラグだけど
subete owari heiwa ni nattara
onsen demo tsukari ni oide
sore mo mata furagu dakedo
生きる者すべて物語る
望む望まないと関わらずに進む
紡がれた陳腐なストーリー
終わればまた次が始まっていく
すぐにね
ikiru mono subete monogataru
nozomu nozomanai to kakawarazu ni susumu
tsumugareta chinpu na sutoorii
owareba mata tsugi ga hajimatte iku
sugu ni ne
ずっと、ずっと、続く
zutto, zutto, tsudzuku
物語、知らずに始まる
開いたままの幕は閉まり方を忘れ
紡がれた陳腐なストーリー
終わればまた次が始まっていく
すぐにね
monogatari, shirazu ni hajimaru
aita mama no maku wa shimari kata wo wasure
tsumugareta chinpu na sutoorii
owareba mata tsugi ga hajimatte iku
sugu ni ne
Notes
* the word 強敵 in the fourth stanza is usually pronounced as “kyouteki” and means “powerful enemy”, but Ranko sings “tomo” (friend).
Translation
Peace is a flag before something happens
I collected them, and with a look of disgust
I crushed the earth spirits that came out of the ground
“It wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
I’m always grumbling
Railroaded to a cliff edge
The story begins without me knowing
The curtain is open and I forget how to close it
I’m flying into the headwind
How bothersome, let’s beat them all and go home
The evasive ingrates
The powerful enemies/friends of the past that we have shunned
The poor little bird who has been inspired to dream and fall
When everything is over and peace is restored
Come and soak in the hot springs
Even though it’s another flag
All the living beings tell their stories
I’ll go on regardless of whether I want to or not
A clichéd story spun
When it’s over, the next one begins again
Soon
It goes on and on and on
The story begins without me knowing
The curtain is open and I forget how to close it
A clichéd story spun
When it’s over, the next one begins again
Soon
