English lyric translator here. There's a really cool wordplay in the Japanese where "bonds" (縁) is spoken as "Yukari". Just though that was too cool not to mention.
@@PennsylvaniaJaguar176 and thats exactly why, i am still to this day waiting for them to remaster the song and make a pv for it. i mean if it can happen to Bad Magus then i can't see why Samurai Ghost Girl Kill! Kill! can't get one
The parts with Indian and Buddhist phrases in Akatsuki music are always awesome. The "gate gate paragate" in Shout it Out Loud and "maha acintya" from Rock'n'Rock'n'Beat immediately come to mind
So powerful... gave me the same chills as Lyrica Live's cover. Shining within your own borders... it's a beautiful message. We may never achieve unbounded, godlike perfection, but we strive for the best we can. The sooner we accept our nature and limitations, the sooner we can work towards self-fulfillment. And, of course, it's Yukari we have to thank that we have a "self" to work on.
The message here on the surface is very confusingly negative, but as we've come to expect with Yukari, nothing is as it seems with her. The message she's sending is simple. "Don't try to 'fit in', because your boundaries, your gaps, your *differences* are what make you special, unique, and you."
LOL I find it hilarious that the lyrics highlight the fundamental difference between the philosophies and metaphysics of Eastern and Western religions. In Eastern traditions, the state of nirvana is perceived as breaking free from the cycle of reincarnation/Samsara, achieved by becoming one with the universe, and functionally losing personal identity as one fades into the background noise of the universe (several reasons why I could never be Buddhist, I like being myself/existing). In Western traditions (namely Judeo-Christian ones), there is no reincarnation, individuality and division have a divine purpose, and one's personal identity is retained after death. And here, a youkai of extremely dubious moral fiber is calling for upholding/more differentiation/boundaries within creation, the inverse of the teachings of most Eastern traditions. And as someone operating from a Western mindset, I concur that the spice of life is the result of boundaries (and occasionally breaking them).
@@Xbalanque84 Short only of outright explicitly saying it, ZUN has very very very heavily implied that Maribel Hearn becomes Yukari-She's a Westerner and both 'Yakumo' and 'Hearn' are derived from the real life figure of Lafcadio Hearn, who was an Irish-Greek globetrotter who settled in Japan and became naturalized. He was the first person to really translate tales from Japanese mythology into English in a book called Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things.
Yukari SUPOSEDLY being Maribel's alterego People really need to stop talking about fan theories as if they were common facts, we don't know what is the actual relationship between the two
@@akiradkcn correction: Maribel's alterego is Dr. Latency. Superego is disconnected from one's consciousness, they have completely different personalities, but Maribel mentioned she sees Gensokyo in her dreams in relative close perspective, which wouls mean she uses somebody's eye or spy from the gaps, which connects her to Yukari.
@@blandon93 it connects her to yukari, period. We literally know nothing more except that the two are connected Said connections could mean that Maribel is her daughter, sister, alternate personality, or just very distant descendant ( It could anything and people can believe any of these possibilities but talking about them as if they were a confirmed truth will just confuse new people who are not familiar with the series You should not lie to others
@@akiradkcn in an interview ZUN being asked "What is Merry's relationship to Yukari" answered "How should I say this? In the past, there was this Lafcadio Hearn...". The answer implied that the relationship between Yukari and Merry was the same as between Koizumi Yakumo and Lafcadio Hearn so I would think by that answer it's pretty clear that Yukari IS Maribel but how exactly we don't know
o.0 it was kind of hitting me that as the controller of "boundaries" Yukari's power is actually over duality. It reminded me of the meditational traditions..... and then the lyrics were tat tvam asi, a sanskrit mantra. I guess that is exactly what the lyrics were going for.
Oh, I see how the song's title is "anti-oneness." What a great song idea!!! Yukari must intrinsically be opposed to the non-duality schools that byakuren or even miko must believe in because she is intrinsically an entity that splits non-duality.
I think the theme of the song is interesting, where she refutes the idea of becoming one and talks about the importance of boundaries that separate things. I feel like Yukari is actually the opposite of that, she is the Youkai of Gaps/Boundaries because she likes to break those boundaries, not because she supports them. For example, Necro-Fantasia itself describes being in a state that blurs the borders of Life and Death, which is what she did in her debut game, weakening that border until visiting the Netherworld was a simple flight, which it shouldn't have been allowed to be.
But she also protects the boundaries that are responsible for Touhou's existence, such as the Hakurei Barrier. She is the major supporter of boundaries. She might break them, but she always protects the ones that truly matter. (Gensokyo)
The existence and nature of boundaries is what makes breaking them meaningful! Touch wouldn't be special without the boundary of the body, love wouldn't be special without crossing the borders between our hearts.
Yes.
YES !
MANLY?

Thanks for all your translations!
Just according to Yukari (Translator note: Yukari means "bonds").
Thank you for the translations!!!
thank you for your work comrade
thanks bro!
八雲紫の考え方の解釈としても結構面白い歌詞だなぁ
「幻想郷は全てを受け入れる」とか「圧倒的な権力者を望まない」っていう部分を能力でもある「スキマ」と絡めているのが凄くオシャレ
現実と幻想の狭間にあるからこそ、実存と想像の往来にも寛容なわけか…
If your house has too many physical gaps you get ants. If it has too many metaphysical gaps you get Yukaris.
Is that good or bad? You decide.
Pretty good. Maybe I'll ask her to send me to school with her ability in exchange of somedonuts.
Wait, is it Yukaris, yukurris, or Yukari yukurris?
Good AND bad, on one note, who wouldn't want a beautiful woman looking at them, on the other, little to no privacy
Love for Yukari💜

so this is what they mean by "Gap Moe"

I’m so glad I found stacks all those years ago before quarantine.
Tat tvam asi is a reference to Collective unconscious "that is you" from buddhism school. I think it's about Yukari being Maribel's superego.
isn't it about everything and self being the same thing?
