Title: Twosome
Circle: はちみつれもん (Hachimitsu-Lemon)
Vocal: ゆーな (Yuuna)
Lyrics: あいざわ (Aizawa)
Arrangement: CleanTears
Release Date: October 14, 2018
There haven’t been too many arranges recently where I get the urge to translate it myself. That’s not to say Touhou music quality or quantity has dropped recently, I think arranges in general have been getting more creative and 2018 has been a pretty good year. However, my exposure to Touhou music in my daily life has dropped since the heydays of 2012. My shelves are lined with untouched albums that I just don’t have the time to listen to due to life and work, and all of my translation requests lately have come from my viewers. But every now and then, I come across something posted by Nitori, Alice, or Mayumi and I know exactly what album to buy next time I’m in Japan. I have to admit my latest guilty pleasure of the Yorigami Sister’s theme, Egoist Flowers (and I love Shion’s character too), so Light Night Beat 8 is definitely going on that list. Thanks to Mr. Deagle for supplying me with the lyrics.

語りかけてくる声は内なる共犯者
夢は未だ目覚めを知らず
夜と入れ替わりを待つ
誰かの囁き 音はいつか意志となりて
闇と光 月と場の様に
互いの輝きになる
言葉響くたび 絆深く絡んだ
その目 焼き付けろtonight
負けないこのストーリー
あなたの音感じると 鼓動強く
重ねたその手 輝きつけろtonight
果て無いこのストーリー

Thank you very much! I will update the lyrics with this.
I did a lot better than I thought, but have still a ways to go.

Hey, not sure if you’re responsible, but just a heads up that your translation (and my transcription) made it over to this video as subtitles, but I don’t see any credits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYK03kb38vs

Thanks for that, I’ll reach out to Nitori about credit.
