【Touhou Lyrics】 Greenwich in the Sky

  / lyricalive  

A duet for Renko Usami & Maribel Hearn. ...Featuring my wonderful friend Lori (   / lori-hime   ) as Renko!

"When you think about a time system designed to observe the universe to be used in that universe, it's somewhat funny..."

Everyone, PLEASE go read the stories behind the official Touhou audio works ( http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Officia... ) if you haven't already. You won't regret it! These two girls are so smart and wonderful and precious and important to the series, offering such amazing perspectives on the relationship between dreams and reality.

Of course, then, these lyrics also mean a lot to me, and I'm glad I was able to do this collaboration with someone who is really like the Renko to my Maribel~. This is definitely one of my favorite projects ever! In fact, it was so great that we just keep doing more and more Hifuu duets:    • 【Touhou Lyrics】 ZUN's Music Collection

Hey hey, so what’s all the buzz about?
Hey hey, have you heard the news?
Somewhere, they’re clearing a path into thin air…
There’s no time to lose!
I’d say, we’re up for a tour then!
You say, it’s happening soon?
Right now! So, what are we waiting for?
Get set, let’s head for the moon!

Name the place, and I’ll tell you the time.
Meet you then, surely when the planets align…
(Tick, tick, tick~)

We’re living a life in a big jumble of numbers,
And how do you count when it’s all well underway?
It isn’t hard if you just look at the stars:
As they glisten, we listen to what stars have to say.

With or without definition of the finish,
We’re running and running and it’s just like a race.
Really, I’m feeling that we’re right on the border
Of making a break in the big case!

Solve a mystery waiting in space…

Bounded by laws and equations… newly explained in a minute.
Founded by long generations… now who might stumble in it?
If we use all of our power… what will be left for the future?
Energy spent by the hour… what is it worth to you?

No story’s done when we put a book back on the shelves,
So we know the ending we want only comes if we find it by ourselves.
Every day in our field is a field day, searching each sign for a meaning.
With two whole worlds’ worth of memory, we can do anything!

Hey hey, so what’s all the buzz about?
Hey hey, have you heard the news?
Someday, that path will be opening…
Which way? It’s our time to choose!
Hey hey, it’s just like a dream again!
There’s that familiar tune:
Let’s go! Oh, what are we waiting for?
Get set, let’s head for the moon!

Same old place, and it’s new every time.
Meet me there, this is where we cross the fine line…
(Tick, tick, tick~)

We’re tracing the patterns in rings wider than Saturn’s:
However we measure them up, which is the way?
It isn’t hard if you just look at the stars:
With our thoughts, we’re connecting the dots— what do they say?

Running from nothing, we’re all running to something;
We’re running and running and we’ll pick up the pace.
Maybe the day that we next look in the mirror,
We’ll even be seeing a new face.

There’s a dream that we’re ready to chase…
