It took just one listen to this song for me to get hooked. These type of vocals are my favorite and in the process of translating I learned more about culture. This song is about a cute Japanese fairy tale that explains why there is a rabbit on the moon. You can interpret this song in a darker way, like this song does.
One day, the Goddess Chang’e looked down at the forest on Earth and saw a Monkey, a Fox, and a Rabbit. Chang’e wondered which one of them was the kindest, so she decided to go to Earth disguised as a poor beggar. She asked the three animals for food, and the animals took pity. The monkey went and got her fruits, the fox went and got her a fish, but the rabbit could not find anything. The rabbit asked the monkey to fetch some kindling (dried vegetation), and the fox to start a fire. The Rabbit told the beggar “I don’t have anything to give you. I will put myself in the fire, and when I’m cooked you can eat me.” The beggar transformed back into the Chang’e and told the rabbit that it was very kind, but it should not do anything to hurt itself. Moved by its kindness, Chang’e took the rabbit to the moon to live with her.

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the original Pandemonic Planet. However, you can really throw out a lot of parts and make it into something incredible, such as this inspiring motivational song. Touhou Jihen completely transformed the theme into something new and I’m a huge fan of it. Also, that’s two songs translated now where Hecatia is bored.

This is the very first Touhou song I translated, which happened over a year ago. Coming back to your old work leaves one feeling uncomfortable with… I wonder if I’ll have the same feeling new year. As for the song, I knew that the song was fairly raunchy, but in my second passthrough I noticed a LOT more dirty language. Not sure how I feel about that but what can you expect from such a song?
