【Touhou Lyrics】 U.N. Owen was Her?

Flandre's theme. ...Three...two...one little soldier...and then there were none?

This is as creepy as it gets within the bounds of canon: She's not a psycho murderer, just a little girl who wants to play, but who can't control her own strength... and who's been locked up so long that she can't quite distinguish between a person and a plaything. Isn't that more terrifying, after all?

Thank goodness for the introduction of spell card rules, just in time for the heroines to meet this little devil. Now, the pattern-game really is just a game! Danmaku, a lovely game where two maidens dance on the border of death. A "death waltz," you might say. *rimshot*

10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3-2-1!

Ready, ready, are you ready?
One more round of hide-and-seek.
Make this match a good match for me.
I don’t need a friend who’s weak.

Oh my soldier, where are you hiding?
Mirrors within mirrors all around, and no reflection cast.
Your misguiding makes it exciting:
I can’t even tell what I’m looking at!

Oh my soldier, where are you going?
I should know that this is the kind of place that can’t be left.
Like fresh blood, once spilt, gets to flowing:
Our little game isn’t over yet!

( “Patterns… The patterns are so pretty!
Here’s another! Can you find your way through this maze?
A maze like this sometimes gets a little tight and scary.
And if you touch the edge, you’ll…
Well, don’t touch the edge, okay? That’s part of the game!” )

Seven colors~
My rainbow misses something still.
My favorite shade of scarlet will
Increase until I have my fill—

Lonely, lonely, I’ll be lonely,
If you leave me like before.
All forbidden in name only,
There’s no limit anymore.

Shame, for now, this playtime is ending;
My new toy is broken again, like everything I touch.
If it snaps with such easy bending:
Well, I guess it was never worth that much!

Oh my soldier, where are you going?
Hungering for more, as the number dwindles down to one.
No fear showing, deep in un-knowing:
Glanced again, and then…there were none?

[Zellig]

Love the abrupt "And then there were none" Seriously you have some of the best lyrical intent I've seen in any touhou song adaptation!

Teacher: what's 5+5?
Quiet kid: 10

[myri_the_weirdo]

Fellas I think I just can't leave the early 2000s

[trimmien]

aha, flandre's quick counting down (at the begining of the song) is like a child playing hide and seek, and wanting to get the countdown over faster. it's the small details that make something much cooler.

[AgentSapphire]

I love this one so much. It's like
[LITERATURE REFERENCES INTENSIFY]

(not entirely sure they were all intentional but I do appreciate them regardless :P)

[wessltov]

If Flandre exists in real life, I quit!

[makise-homura]

Another excellent song. Another fantastic fitting into character that even could make Flandre more 'natural' than she ever was in the EoSD plot.

[frostare]

Only you could have pulled this one off! Besides, this is why Flandre is charming to me: Not because of the extreme powers her fans claim she posseses, but because of her playful, unstable nature the centuries in seclusion created for her. Nice job!


1:40 -1:50 this line is killer, even more than the Agatha Christie refrences.

[CannedPsycho-]

I wonder if Flandre would have fun cooking with a cast iron pan. Those things are like indestructible and can last more than 495 years probably

[Pastel_TJ]

I always lose all my continues on stage 5

[sleeplessnarcolept]

I Love how in most of these songs you'll make the occasional reference to their spellcard (Ex. the maze part being MAze of LOve)

[nori]

I JUST realized all the allusions to And Then There Were None in this. God, I appreciate this so much more now that I understand.

[miyukiaizawa]

I have a request. Do Septette of The Dead Princess?

[HiroariHourai]

Hide and Seek but if you got found, you won't come out alive

Tag, but if you're tagged, you'll lose a limb

Catch, but if you miss, the ball goes through you

Legos, but if you step on it, you explode

[denpadenpa_]

i had so much fun singing this! your lyrics are truly wonderful!! i look forward to your future uploads ♥

[pain]

I'm sad I discovered your channel only now. Fave songs by you so far are Necrofantasia (omg best <3), Heian Alien and Emotional Skyscraper. You really are talented to enough to be writing lyrics for Broadway, musicals and somesuch and I wonder if you write fiction of some sort too. Would like to know if you have links. Am deeply into the study of literature and would love to get to know your work more.

[Lily-white]

Deep in un-knowing? Wait un-owen... UN-OWEN?!?! THAT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN HOW HAD I NOT REALISED... It better not be... LYRICAAA!!
