[東方 Post Rock/Vocal] Akane ft. m19 [kei] - Worship Your Goddess

Well hello again, everyone! Can't tell you how excited I am to release this song was being slowly cooked in my mind for literal 6 years. In 2018 I came up with lyrics, and since then I was slowly moving towards realizing my final vision for this song. So, finally uploading this video really does mean a lot to me.
As always I believe that everyone did fantastic job this time around, but I want to give a special shout out to Gruntyy, the artist behind the artwork. I gave him an incredibly hard request, and he went ahead and absolutely KILLED IT. I mean LOOK AT THIS ART PEOPLE. It's a damn masterpiece, it should be displayed in a Louvre or something!
Anyway enough rambling, enjoy the song everyone!

Lyrics:
Thousands have fallen with wave of my hand
Fools believed they could defeat me
Before my perfection no power could stand
Now they're on their knees with their plea
To serve me and honor my beautiful name
For their belief I will bless them
With all of my wisdom and sovereign fame
I'll guide every poor soul forever
Till the end
Battles going on and on
So many wars that I have won
In faith of my people I find strength
With them I will go to any length
When in my shrine
You will do the right choice
Let your faith shine
And you'll hear my voice
Keep your prowess
Unleash your fire
Worship your Goddess
And feel her power
When you're far away
In your darkest day
Don't forget my name
I'll ignite your flame
I hear your prayers
In the end I will be the one who cares
I'll watch over you
Believe, and you will break through
Battles going on and on
I'm falling from the pantheon
I barely hold in the final hour
Losing faith in my own power
I am fallen
But not defeated
Voices are calling
I am still needed
Keep your prowess
Unleash your fire
Worship your Goddess
And feel her power
You have saved my life
When my state was dire
I will not forget
I'll repay my debt
I hear your prayers
In the end I will be the one who cares
I'll watch over you
Believe, and you will break through
Everything living will come to an end
That is the rule of our nature
My own time will come before you understand
Till that day comes you will make sure
To pray

The opening of the song gave me some deep chills. Dawg this is amazing! M19Kei has a powerful voice that fits Kanako extremely well to me. The art is phenomenal as well.

[@xbolt90]

Kanako looking like a right proper goddess. This is epic!

[@akanethetengu5780]

Her look is purely the artist's initiative by the way! When ordering a commission, I told him "I would love her to look a bit like a Greek Goddess, but I'm afraid people will confuse her with blue version of Hecatia, so maybe we shouldn't go that route after all". But then Gruntyy like the absolute Gigachad he is actually went with this idea, and casually cooked the best design of Kanako that I have ever seen.

[@Aurachan787]

Oooh, I really like this song! Glad that you gave Kanako some love. She's a really underrated character! 😊

[@akanethetengu5780]

Thank you! Kanako will always have an honorable place in my top-10, from my earliest days of being a Touhou fan that strong woman has my respect. And I always wanted to do her theme justice 🫡

[@nadox5259]

YOOOOOOOO
This is so powerful!

[@priscilasinaga]

Woahh the art complements the music supeeeer wellll

[@akanethetengu5780]

[@whitefox2974]

С вокалом творчество преображается. Очень круто что ты теперь на таком уровне

[@akanethetengu5780]

Спасибо! Приятно понимать, что людям нравится, когда я выхожу из зоны комфорта и добавляю в музыку что-то новое :)

[@Pandemonic-Planet]

This is AMAZING! Everyone did a great job! It's sooo GOOD!

[@909mcronald]

Dang this is fire🔥

[@corbeauwrite]

That's fucking awesome lmao, we still hear the melodies of the original theme, but switched power for grace! Seems the gameover leitmotiv behind too? nice lyrics, nice story too! The singer got a nice voice for Kanako honestly.

[@akanethetengu5780]

Gameover leitmotiv is actually directly taken from Kanako's theme, it's just slowed down. And since my arrangement is actually in lower tempo compared to original, it makes sense that these moments feel more like a gameover theme compared to Kanako. The gameover leitmotiv also kind of makes sense in the context of the song's lyrics sooo yeah, basically, a lot of things going on here haha!

[@Skalbo_of_the_Evernight]

Oh my, what a great day to open youtube to hear this ^^

[@Skalbo_of_the_Evernight]

Тохо-Гадес-пост-рок... Офигенно же!

[@siestagogoroku489]

Арт шикарный

[@Chiosint]

Канако, не выделывайся, мы все знаем, кто засунул ту ворону в Уню, и к каким последствиям это привело!

[@akanethetengu5780]

Хорошо, что есть Рейму и Мариса, которые любого бога на место поставят :)
