Touhou Geneikyo: Prologue
===
It'd be better if I was contacted personally if there's a mistake in the translation of the text found on the site below. Honestly, I kinda get confused with sentences.
Ah well. Take my translations as done the best I could.
If I leave words out it's 'cause I thought there'd be another wording of part of a sentence. Blah blah blah...
=
Far away from the human village, the remote Hakurei Shrine exists, and Hakurei Reimu, the shrine maiden, lived a busy life settling incidents.
Youkai and humans lived together in Gensokyo, but this peaceful life would not go on forever. All along, ordinary mistakes and ordinary boundaries weren't so, incidents with so-called elongations of ordinary were here.
Reimu : Still....
She said while leaving the shrine to the body with a broom.
Reimu: Recently, there've been a whole load of incidents. They're all kinda familiar...
Marisa: That's just some deja vu.
Playing with such an idea would be uninteresting, the witch said.
Reimu: Where have I seen this... I'm sure this isn't much different than those...
Marisa: Well, what kinda dream are you seeing?
Reimu: Well... maybe I'm wrong...
The shrine maiden in Gensokyo realized she sensed there were incidents,
She set out to solve them as quickly as possible, and carried on with her life.
So, the incidents should've been resolved.
But... the shrine maiden didn't realize the incidents were coming from outside.
She was in the middle of the incidents all along.

東方幻永郷：序
Touhou Geneikyo/ Eastern Illusional Eternal Land.
Perhaps I should just leave the series' english name as "Eternal Illusory Land" for short. EIL. ... which is "lie" backwards..

Song lyric:
今の全て 過去に変えられ
過去の事は 忘れ去られる
どれだけ声を 張り上げても
霧へと散る
All there was in the past is now changed;
The past is something that should be forgotten.
How long should I shout
If it just disappears into the fog?

忘れられた 森の中へ
見放された 過去の私達
決して叶えられない何かを
掴もうとした手を頬に
そっと触れる
Lost in the forest,
Abandoning us in the past,
It would never come true.
I grabbed hold of something
And felt a hand on my cheek.

この両手は
この瞳は　
一体何を守れるだろう
独りで 独りで
神社の木陰で泣いてた
With my two hands and two eyes
What in the world am I defending,
All by myself,
I cried in the shade of a tree by the shrine.

忘れられた 森の中へ
見捨てられた今の私達
だけど 決して忘れられない
互いに手を取り 共に過ごした日々を
信じているの いつか再び
手と手を取れると
Lost in the forest,
We now are left behind.
But never, ever forget; Every day
We held our hands,
I still believe that one day,
We'll join our hands again..

この両手は
この瞳は
一体誰を守れるだろう
独りで 独りで
諦めたりなんかしない
With these two hands and these two eyes,
Who in the world am I defending
All by myself;
I still won't give up.

この胸の中
萃まる想いに
今新しい希望の
小さなひかりが
Inside my chest a feeling collects;
A new feeling,
A sliver of light.

この両手は この瞳は
一体何を夢見ているの
独りで 独りで
涙を流すことは もう無い
With these two hands and these two eyes,
What in the world am I still dreaming of
All by myself?
Are there no more tears to cry?

皆で 皆で
ただ歌い騒ぎ飲み笑い合う
私の 両手は　
いつか見た夢を掴んだ
皆と一緒に笑える
But with everyone I will sing in uproar,
I'll feast and laugh with everyone.
With both hands one day I'll
Take that dream with
Everyone and
We'll all laugh together.

@HikariXSato0764

Wait, you say they haven't progressed the story any further than Episode One?

Where can I watch said episode?

[HikariXSato0764]

Somewhere in my uploads. I abandoned waiting for any more to arrive.

"Hey, dear, when are we getting episode 2?"

[GensokyoGal301]

Must.. find... piano music sheet... to this... epicness... *goes on search-rampage*

[HikariXSato0764]

I uploaded a video with the sheet music and a play along, actually.

[NoblesseGlint1]

Why is everyone fighting their most trusted and mokou seems alone

[HikariXSato0764]

We don't know yet, because they haven't progressed the story any further than Episode One, which still leaves questions.

Mokou is alone because Keine is sick and apparently she disappears.

[GensokyoGal301]

Sounds like the singer is fighting back tears too. I'm with you, singer of this song.

[ArctickSolstice]

@Boromir23786 I can't believe.

[Boromir23786]

Believe it :D. However, then album doesnt has any clear information for the artists and singers on it. I guess they were kinda rushing it before dissolving this and create Liz Triangle.

[ArctickSolstice]

This is Liz Triangle? I don't believe it.

[Ezekratos]

@tankOdrum2 Well, I read in some place (They said it was an Interview to ZUN) that Keine can die, but can't get old. Besides, it would be a bad teaching if she plays with the rules of nature all the time. In fact, she can cure sickness or even create miracles, but that would be a dissorder of the Laws of Life and the Gods. She's pretty smart in that way

[kawwaibunny555]

I heard ther going to try and make it into an anime

[PikBube3]

@LintuWaterfall do you mean this one with teh 16 minutes episode? watch?v=w337ij3wtXA

couse this one has really wel done drawing, animation and voices.

I've seen another, wich wasn't as great as the firt one but still pretty good. But in neither of those episodes they fought against ech other like in this video. And that was my question.

Thanks for the info anyways though.

[LintuWaterfall]

@PikBube3 actually what is out are both kind of closer fan animations. since they don't have a big budget and study backing them it takes longer to release things. plus the main place to release new Touhou stuff is Comiket, which of course comes once a year. So far we have an "Anime" episode which is around 16 minutes and has no voice actors (though someone did fandub it). And the other one made by a different group and actually has voice actors, and that is the one that hinted at another episod

[tankOdrum2]

I wonder, if Keine can control and change history, then she can change it so she won't die. I mean, that is her ability, so theoretically, she can live forever like Mokou.

[TwistedJabberjays]

I was just watching this video randomly...and then "Shikieiki! Stop it!" randomly came up, so I got curious. This seemed more of an EoSD thing...

This is a beautiful song! I'll go print out the sheet music now...
