Gensokyo’s Saviors
Kisume
Th-There are more of them...!
Mystia
Ugh, there's no end to this!
Kyouko
But we're the only ones who can save everyone... We gotta do everything we can!
Mystia
I know, but we've been fighting non-stop... I'm at my limit!
Kisume
I understand, but...!
Kisume
We're Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME! And we're gonna save Gensokyo!
Kyouko & Mystia
Kisume...!
Kisume
*deep breath*
Kisume
A crowd of phantoms is NO BIG DEAL!
Kisume
None of their HEADS are worth a STEAL!
Kisume
I-It worked?!
Kisume
Hehehe... I did it!
Mystia
Whoa, she cured so many of them without any help! Kyouko, we gotta keep up!
Kyouko
Yeah, we gotta show our new member what we're capable of!
Mystia
My voice and my guitar are all you're gonna hear!
Mystia
DIVE TO BLACK! Into the endless night! Hear my NIGHTBIRD SOUL!
Kyouko
Don't forget me! I'm here to stay!
Kyouko
Now listen up, it's sutra time! HA RA! SO! GYAAAAATEEEEE!
Kisume
W-Wow, you guys are amazing!
Kyouko
NOW, Kisume!
Mystia
Take it away!
Kisume
G-Got it! Here I go!
Kisume
HEAD HEAD HEAD! CHOP CHOP CHOP! LEAVE 'EM BEHIND! THEY'RE ALL MINE!
Kisume
*huff* *huff* Phew, it worked...
Mystia
Are you all right, Kisume?!
Kisume
I-I'm fine! I can keep going...!
Kyouko
That's the spirit! But promise me you won't overexert yourself!
Kisume
...!
Kisume
...I promise!
Kyouko
Gosh... A little rest would've been nice.
Kisume
Ahaha... yeah.
Mystia
It looks like they want an encore... C'mon, let's do one more song!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
LISTEN TO OUR SONG!
Kisume
How did it come to this...?
Kisume
...This is a story of─
Kisume
Two music-loving youkai and─
Kisume
A shy tsurube-otoshi trying her best to be brave!
Rehearsal Time
Mystia
C'mon! Let's start practicing already!
Kyouko
Yeah, OK! This is a pretty open space. We'll be able to sing as loud as we want here!
Mystia
I know, right? I come here often. It's a nice and quiet place with not many people around.
Kyouko
OK then, let's make this our new rehearsal spot!
That's great, but people live around here...
Let's not get too loud...
Mystia
Oh, right. I completely forgot about Eientei!
Kyouko
Don't worry! We'll think about what to do if and when they get mad!
Kyouko
I'm sure they'll forgive us if we apologize! ...Maybe.
Mystia
It'll be OK! I'll give them some lamprey!
Kyouko
Yeah, good idea! Thanks, Mystia!
Kyouko
We won't be able to practice at Myouren Temple for a while, so let's just use this place for now!
Choujuu Gigaku
Yeah!
Kyouko
Hey, PLAYER! GOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOORNING!
Morning, Kyouko! Good to see you're as lively as ever!
Cleaning this early in the morning can't be easy!
Kyouko
Ahaha, it's nice to start off the day with a hearty greeting!
Kyouko
It fires me up for the rest of the day. That's why you gotta give the morning greeting all you've got!
Kyouko
Oh, no! Mystia will be here any minute now! I better put away all this cleaning equipment.
Kyouko
Choujuu Gigaku's having a concert soon, so we've been rehearsing whenever we can!
???
Lalala lala lalala!
Kyouko
There she is! Morning, Mystia!
Mystia
Good morning, Kyouko... Huh?
Mystia
Oh, hello, PLAYER! Are you here to see us perform?
I was just passing by...
It's been a while, so maybe I'll watch you rehearse!
Kyouko
Now you're talking!
Mystia
OK, let's get started!
Byakuren
─Hm, that is indeed a cause for concern.
Shou
Yes, I've sent Nazrin to investigate the matter. She should report back soon.
Byakuren
I hope everything's fine─
Byakuren & Shou
...?!
Shou
Wh-What was that noise?!
Byakuren
...We better go check it out, Toramaru.
Kyouko
GYAAATEEE! GYAAATEEE! SHIKISOKU ZEKKU!
Kyouko
I feel like I can sing exceptionally well today!
Mystia
And my guitar is in perfect tune! Let's do a song together!
Kyouko
Sure! You can start first!
Mystia
OK, here I go!
Mystia
Be it hot, be it stormy!
Mystia
I've got you covered with my GRILLED LAMPREY!
Kyouko
My legs are numb from sitting ALL DAY! Your soul will be numb from my awesome song, HOORAY!
Kyouko
Training DAY AFTER DAY, feels so tough TODAAAAAAY!
Byakuren
Then why don't you try a different kind of training? It'll be a little difficult, though.
Kyouko
EEK! Lady Hijiri?!
Kyouko
Um, we were just relieving some stress!
Mystia
That's such a bad excuse, Kyouko.
Shou
I knew you two were behind all this noise...
Mystia
How rude! It's not noise! But I guess we did get a bit carried away...
Shou
Stop acting like it was your first time. You do this almost every day...
Byakuren
Maybe you're forgetting, but this is a temple. It's a place to clear your mind and train in silence.
Byakuren
However, in light of your concert and rehearsals, I'll allow a little noise.
Choujuu Gigaku
Great, then we can continue...!
Byakuren
...But I can't have you being too loud, so you're forbidden from going above 70 decibels.
Choujuu Gigaku
Aw, c'mon! Cut us some slack─
Byakuren
...I hope I've made myself clear.
Choujuu Gigaku
Y-Yeah, OK...
Byakuren
Also, Miss PLAYER, if you've got some time, I have a request─
Kyouko
So she asked you to keep an eye on us, huh...? I'm sorry you got dragged into this.
Mystia
We'll give you the best seat at our concert as an apology!
Yay! It's gonna be fun!
Just let me know if you need my help with anything!
Mystia
Hehe, let's resume our rehearsal for PLAYER!
Choujuu Gigaku
The next song's gonna be─
Choujuu Gigaku
Zen Thunder Break!
Confidence Issues
Kisume
*sigh* Why won't it work? What am I doing wrong?
Yamame
What are you sighing about, Kisume?
Kisume
Oh, hey, Yamame...
Kisume
Um... I was just wondering what I could do to scare people...
Kisume
I've been practicing, but I always get cold feet when it's showtime...
Kisume
The other day I bit my tongue and ended up a laughing stock in front of everyone...
Yamame
Oh, dear. That sounds like a disaster.
Yamame
But you know, I don't think you need to worry about it so much. I'd say you're already pretty scary.
Kisume
*sniff* Thanks for saying that, but it does bother me!
Kisume
Even the tengu reporters called me boring and timid when they came for an interview!
Kisume
Maybe they would've written a big article about me if I had managed to appear fierce!
Yamame
Yeah, that's sad.
Yamame
But aren't they always flying around looking for a scoop? Maybe you'll get another chance!
Kisume
Good point! I'm gonna get them to write a feature about me next time they interview me!
Kisume
"Kisume─A youkai so terrifying that she'll knock your head off your shoulders!"
Yamame
No comments on the headline, but I'd love to read an article about you!
Kisume
Thanks, Yamame!
Kisume
...
Yamame
What is it?
Kisume
Do you think I can change?
Yamame
Huh, what's this all of a sudden?
Kisume
Um, I want people to think I'm scary, but more than that...
Kisume
I wanna be confident!
Yamame
I think you've got the scary part covered...
Kisume
Hm? Did you say something?
Yamame
No, never mind!
Yamame
You should stop trying weird tricks and just be yourself. That'll easily scare everyone.
Yamame
I think you're fine as you are.
Kisume
Why do you think that? Nobody ever notices me...!
Kisume
And I have zero self-confidence...
Yamame
Well, of course, you aren't as imposing as a greater youkai, but...
Yamame
You're kind, and you've never let me down! I really don't think you need to change.
Kisume
Yamame...
Yamame
Besides, I'm sure you don't want the shrine maiden to exterminate you 'cause everyone thinks you're scary, right?
Kisume
Eep... I-I don't wanna be exterminated! But I don't wanna stay timid forever, either!
Kisume
I'm gonna make sure I change!
Yamame
Kisume... You're serious, aren't you?
Kisume
Yeah!
Kisume
And I'm gonna prove it to you with a battle of bullets!
Yamame
Where did that come from?!
Kisume
T-Take THIS!
Yamame
Not bad, but I'm only just getting warmed up!
Yamame & Kisume
Whoa?!
Yamame
Wh-What's that noise?! It sounds like something big is going on above ground!
Kisume
I-I'm gonna go ask them to keep it down!
Yamame
Huh?! Are you serious─
Kisume
They're being too loud! And this is a good chance to work on my confidence!
Kisume
So, um... I'm gonna go...!
Yamame
OK, fine... If that's how bad you wanna do this, then I'm rooting for you!
Kisume
Thanks, Yamame! I'll go right away!
Yamame
Wait!
Yamame
We don't know who's behind this, so promise me you won't do anything risky!
Kisume
Yeah, I promise! I'll stop right before things start going south!
Yamame
That's the definition of risky...
Max Volume
Kisume
Hm... I think the noise is coming from over there.
Kisume
O-OK, I got this! I just have to go tell them to keep it down!
Mystery Voice
GYAAATEEE! GYAAATEEE!
Kisume
EEEEEEEEEEEK!
Kisume
Th-That scared me... Is this the noise I heard all the way down in the Underworld?
Kisume
Whoa, it's so loud! It sounds like a full-blown concert or something...
Kisume
A-Anyway, I'm gonna follow the music and see what's going on!
Kyouko
GYAAATEEE! GYAAATEEE! HA RA GYAAATEEE!
Choujuu Gigaku
HA RA! SO! GYAAATEEE!
Kyouko
Nice! That sounded pretty good!
Mystia
Let's practice our new song next!
Kisume
Isn't that Choujuu Gigaku? They're probably rehearsing here.
Kisume
What am I doing? I need to say something!
Kisume
O-OK... I-I got this!
Kisume? What are you doing here?
Kisume
EEEK! S-S-S-S-Sorrrrrrryyyyyy! Huh, Miss PLAYER?!
Kisume
Phew, I'm glad it's just you!
Kisume
U-Um, I'm here to tell those two to keep it down! They're being too loud!
You could hear them all the way in the Underworld?!
It's great to see you standing up for yourself!
Kisume
U-Um... Th-Thanks...!
Kisume
OK, I'll say something on the count of three! One, two, THREE!
Kisume
...!
Kisume
...!
Kisume
*huff* *huff* Th-They didn't hear a word... Ugh, they're so loud!
Kisume
I-It's time to do this the hard way! I'm gonna throw bones at them!
Kyouko
Whoa, what's this?!
Mystia
Um, were we too loud?
Eirin & Reisen
...
Kyouko
Sorry, we didn't mean to cause any trouble! We're just rehearsing for our concert...
Eirin & Reisen
...
Kyouko
Th-This is bad! Just look at them! They're so mad at us!
Mystia
Y-Yeah, let's get out of here! C'mon, PLAYER!
Kisume
H-Hey! Don't ignore me!
Kisume
*sob* They didn't hear me at all... Maybe I gotta work on speaking louder...
Kyouko
U-Um, Miss Eirin... We'll go rehearse somewhere else...
Choujuu Gigaku
Sorry!
Kisume
W-Waaaaait─
Eirin
Hold it right there!
Choujuu Gigaku
E-EEEEEK!
Musical Mystery
Kyouko
W-We're sorry for being loud! Please let us go!
Mystia
I-I'll give you lots of lamprey!
Eirin & Reisen
...
Mystia
I don't think they're going to let it slide. We just gotta suffer their wrath─
Eirin
I can't stand your songs.
Kisume, Kyouko & Mystia
...?!
Reisen
You sound like an annoying gong.
Eirin & Reisen
Is that really your singing voice?
Eirin & Reisen
All we hear is NOISE!
Eirin
We shall not let this slide!
Reisen
Never, never, never!
Eirin & Reisen
We won't let you get away and hide!
Kisume, Kyouko & Mystia
...
Kisume, Kyouko & Mystia
Um...?
Kyouko
I-Is it just me, or are they acting weird?
Mystia
Yeah... It's like we're watching a musical or something.
What's wrong, Reisen?
Are you sick, Miss Eirin?!
Reisen
I don't know when it began. This was never a part of our plan.
Eirin
No medicine can fix it. But I don't mind one bit.
Eirin & Reisen
Why, you ask?
Eirin
Because without dance and song...
Reisen
Our hearts and souls won't last long!
Kyouko
Um, but what does all of this mean?
Reisen
End of discussion.
Eirin
Now get out. No fussin'!
Choujuu Gigaku
EEP!
Mystia
How are they dancing and singing with such perfection while shooting bullets at the same time?!
Kyouko
I don't know what's going on here, but it looks like we'll have to fight them!
Kisume
Maybe coming here was a bad idea... I better go back before I get caught up in this mess.
Kyouko
Oh, hey, Kisume! When did you get here?
Kisume
Eep! U-Um... I've been here for a while now...!
Mystia
Why didn't you say something?!
Kisume
I-I tried... several times! But you guys didn't notice me at all!
Kisume
AAAAAAAAH!
Kyouko
We don't have time to chitchat! Everyone, get ready to fight back!
Kisume
Huh?! Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you dragging me into this?!
Mystia
Talk later, fight now!
Kisume
*sniff* Why is this happening...?
Kisume
Ugh, whatever! I'm gonna smash everyone's bones!
Kyouko
Phew... we somehow managed to get away.
Mystia
What was with the way they were acting, though?
Kisume
Sh-She said medicine can't fix it, so maybe they're not sick?
Mystia
Maybe not... But something weird's going on.
Kyouko
Hm...
Kyouko
Lady Hijiri might know something. Let's go to Myouren Temple.
Mystia
I don't think she'll be happy to see us back there, but I'm worried about Eirin and Reisen. C'mon!
Kyouko
Yeah, OK. Kisume, you're coming with us!
Kisume
*sigh* What have I gotten myself into? All I came here to do was tell them to keep it down.
Kisume
But maybe this is a chance to build my confidence! I'll tag along with them for now!
The Fairy Opera
Kyouko
Oh, no, the fairies around here are acting like Miss Eirin and Reisen!
Mystia
But they were fine this morning, weren't they?
Kisume
Th-There's singing youkai, too... It's like the whole of Gensokyo has turned into one big musical...
Kyouko
Yeah, I wonder what's going on...
???
Make some NOOOOOOOISE forー
Fairy Opera
The Fairy Opera!
Kisume
EEK! Wh-Wh-Wh-What's happening?!
Mystia
Cirno and her fairy friends have also lost it!
Cirno
Why aren't you guys singing and dancing?!
Lily White
Springtime is musical time!
Cirno
If you're not a part of our musical town, you're going DOWN!
Kisume, Kyouko & Mystia
Huh?!
Daiyousei
P-Please help us, though!
Lily White
And that's the show...
Mystia
What on earth is going on here?!
Kyouko
I hope Myouren Temple isn't affected by whatever this is!
Kisume
W-We better hurry!
A Growing Problem
Kyouko
Phew... We made it to the temple in one piece.
Mystia
We saw some crazy things on the way here.
Kisume
U-Um...!
Kyouko
What is it, Kisume?
Kisume
A-Are we also gonna end up like Miss Eirin, Cirno, and all the others?
Choujuu Gigaku
...!
Kyouko
I-I hope not...
Byakuren
Are you all OK?!
I'm fine, thanks to everyone here!
It's good to see you guys are acting normal!
Mystia
We're all right, but all those people have gone nuts!
Kyouko
Miss Eirin and Reisen were acting weird when they showed up to stop us rehearsing in the Bamboo Forest!
Byakuren
Come again? You were rehearsing in the forest and being a nuisance to the people of Eientei...?
Choujuu Gigaku
Eep!
Byakuren
Never mind. We'll talk about your disgraceful behavior later. We're in a state of emergency right now.
Choujuu Gigaku
Phew...
Um, what do you mean by "state of emergency"?
Are you talking about everyone's odd behavior?
Byakuren
That's right. But we don't exactly know what's happening...
Byakuren
A few days ago, Nazrin reported seeing some people acting strange. We've been looking into it ever since.
Kisume
What were they doing?
Byakuren
It's the same as what you saw on your way here. They were behaving as though they were performing a musical.
Byakuren
They're all suffering from Musical Syndrome!
Kisume, Kyouko & Mystia
Wh-What kind of syndrome is that?!
Shou
That's just what I decided to call it. It's easier if we have a name for it.
Kyouko
Wow, Miss Toramaru! Only the avatar of Bishamonten could've come up with such a befitting name!
Mystia
The name isn't important right now...
Mystia
If you're saying this "Musical Syndrome" has been around since a few days ago, then we should've noticed it, too...
Kisume
Y-Yeah, I would've remembered seeing something so bizarre...
Byakuren
But maybe that's because only a few people were affected by it.
Byakuren
Even if we ran into a couple of people acting strange, we wouldn't have thought much of it.
Kyouko
Th-That's true...
Shou
There weren't many, but it was still a matter of concern.
Shou
That's why we sent Nazrin to look into it.
Shou
Till yesterday, there was only a slight increase in the number of people affected. But there was no way to be sure...
Shou
We never imagined it would get this bad. We should've taken it more seriously.
Nazrin
I'm sorry, Master. I should've been faster.
Kisume
Wh-What's wrong with Miss Nazrin?! U-Um, is she also infected?
Shou
Unfortunately, yes...
Nazrin
It happened on my way back. The cases suddenly skyrocketed, and before I knew it, I was also out of whack.
Kyouko
Oh, no!
Mystia
But wait, how come you guys are fine? There's nothing wrong with us, too... at least for now.
Byakuren
I'm not sure why, but no one in the temple is affected by it.
Kisume
Um... D-Do you have any clue why? It might help us prevent this thing spreading...
Byakuren
I'm sorry, I don't. But the only thing I can think of is that we chant sutras all day long.
Shou
That makes sense!
Shou
Nazrin isn't usually here, so she doesn't listen to sutras every day.
Nazrin
True, very true.
Kyouko
Sutras, huh?! If medicine won't fix it, then maybe sutras will!
Byakuren
Let's give it a try.
Byakuren
It looks like it doesn't work on those who are already showing symptoms.
Kisume
Th-That's not good...
Byakuren
There's a lot we don't know, but based on your observations and Nazrin's report, we can be sure about one thing.
Byakuren
This Musical Syndrome is running rampant through Gensokyo.
Byakuren
We'll continue looking for the cause and a cure, but I wouldn't be surprised if you all end up getting infected.
Byakuren
Please proceed with caution. If you sense you're at risk, you can come back to the temple at any time.
Kisume
Th-Thank you! Maybe I should go back to the Underworld...
Kisume
What are you guys gonna do?
Choujuu Gigaku
...
Kisume
(What's up with them...?)
Changing Opinions
Kisume
This whole Musical Syndrome thing came out of nowhere... Th-There's so much confusion 'cause of it...
Kyouko
Yeah, everything was fine until yesterday... Or at least I didn't notice anything.
Mystia
It's scary to think infected people might start showing up at my restaurant.
Kyouko
But you know what's weird? You guys aren't infected.
Kyouko
I usually visit Myouren Temple, so maybe that's why I'm fine... But what about you three?
Kyouko
Did you guys do something different?
Mystia
Hmmm, not really. I worked at my restaurant and sang songs as always.
Kisume
M-Me neither... I just hung out with Yamame in the Underworld the last couple of days.
Kyouko
Hm, nothing makes sense. We don't know what caused it, nor do we know what's keeping us safe.
Mystia
Let's just pray everyone goes back to normal soon.
Kyouko
We can't even practice with everything that's been going on. Maybe we should put our band activities on hold for now.
Kisume
Huh...?
Mystia
I'd love to make everyone feel better with our songs, but I guess no one's in the mood for that.
Kyouko
I really wanna do something to help our fans, though.
Mystia
I can't think of anything right now... but let's work something out.
Kyouko
Music can soothe the soul. Let's be patient and do what we can.
Kisume
...
Kisume
Um, Miss PLAYER... I think I made a mistake.
Kisume
I don't know much about music, so when I first heard Miss Kyouko and Miss Mystia perform, I thought it was just noise.
Kisume
But after spending time with them, I realized it's a beautiful thing.
Kisume
These two really love music. They care about their fans and work hard to put on great shows.
Kisume
So, um...
Kisume
It'll be kinda sad if they put everything on hold 'cause of this...
I agree. I'm sure they're not happy about it, either.
Maybe we should talk to them about it!
Kisume
M-Miss Kyouko, Miss Mystia!
Mystia
Hm? What is it?
We don't know how long this syndrome will last...
Do you really wanna stop playing music 'cause of it?
Kyouko
I don't think we have a choice. I'm pretty sure Miss Reimu or someone will get involved and solve this at some point.
Mystia
It's not like Musical Syndrome has any negative effects on people's health.
Kyouko
Some are even enjoying it. But I guess there are many suffering because of it, too.
Kyouko
It's best we take a break! We'll do something else to help─
Kisume
But...
Kisume
Y-You can't quit music!
Banding Together
Mystia
Wh-What's gotten into you?
Kisume
Um... I mean...!
Be confident, Kisume. I'm here with you!
Kisume
O-OK...!
Kisume
Miss Kyouko, Miss Mystia... Let's do something about Musical Syndrome together!
Kyouko
Of course, I'd like to do something to make it go away, but...
Mystia
We've got no clue what's causing it, nor do we know how to fix it. What can we even do?
Kisume
I-I know it's not gonna be easy...
Kisume
B-But... don't you guys love music?!
Kisume
Don't you love Choujuu Gigaku?!
Choujuu Gigaku
Well...!
Mystia
Wait a minute! Where did all these fairies come from?! They all seem to be infected!
Kyouko
And there are so many of them! Kisume, be careful! It's dangerous to take them on by yourself!
Kisume
I know I'm weak. I lack confidence, and nobody ever notices me...
Kisume
But that doesn't mean I'm useless.
Kisume
And I'm gonna prove that to you!
Choujuu Gigaku
Kisume...!
Kyouko
C'mon, let's go after her, Mystia!
Mystia
Yeah, we can't let her do this alone. That's not the Choujuu Gigaku way!
Kisume
*huff* *huff* W-We did it...
Kisume
I thought I could do this alone, but you guys ended up helping me. Th-Thank you!
Mystia
Not at all. We're the ones who should be thanking you.
Kisume
Huh?
Kyouko
You and PLAYER have opened our eyes. We shouldn't have given up so easily.
Mystia
I'm sure we'll get through this if we work together. That's what we've always done.
Kyouko
We gotta resolve this syndrome for all our supporters and for all the music lovers out there!
Mystia
What good are we if we just sit around and wait for someone else to fix everything?! Let's do everything we can!
Kisume
You guys...!
Kisume
...
Kisume
U-Um... Can I help?
Kyouko
Of course, you can! Right, PLAYER?
Yes, we'd love to have you!
With all of us together, there's nothing we can't do!
Kisume
Hehehe... Th-Thanks!
Mystia
Let's do this!
Tragedy Strikes
Marisa
Sup! What are you guys doing together?
Mystia
Oh, look, it's Marisa and Alice. You guys seem to be acting normal!
Marisa
Well, about that... I'm fine, but...
Alice
...I'm not.
Alice
Argh, why is this happening? Dancing nonstop is maddening!
Kisume
A-Alice is infected!
Marisa
Have you guys seen this happen before? I guess it'd be weird if you hadn't, huh?
Alice
All the youkai and fairies have been acting strange.
Alice
Even my dolls have become deranged.
Kyouko
And it looks like you haven't found a cure...
Marisa
Yeah, though I did try using a bunch of magic items and some weird stuff I had lying around.
Kisume
Wh-What weird stuff?
Marisa
You know, stuff... Never mind that!
Marisa
The point is I tried everything I had, but nothing worked. I was on my way to Kourin to see if he's got anything useful.
Mystia
Oh, OK. We'll let you guys know if we find something that can help Alice.
Alice
Thanks, that'll be great...
Alice
'Cause there's nothing I can do, but cry and wait.
Kyouko
She's got it as bad as Miss Eirin and Reisen...
Marisa
But it's kinda funny the way she's dancing while talking in song!
Alice
Stop taking pleasure in my misery!
Alice
At this rate, I'll soon be history!
Kisume
W-We gotta find a cure soon...
Marisa
How come you guys aren't infected? And what's the difference between those who get infected and those who don't?
Mystia
We don't really know what it is, but PLAYER isn't infected either.
Marisa
Hmmm, maybe it's got something to do with being human or youkai?
Marisa
But I guess it is what it is. Either you get infected or you don't!
Kyouko
That doesn't tell us anything.
Kyouko
We don't have much information. It could be something very simple for all we know.
Marisa
I know, right?! I don't wanna end up like Alice... Huh?
Alice
Marisa... How can you be so insensitive?!
Kisume
EEP! Look at all the fairies swarming around Alice!
Marisa
C-Calm down, Alice! I'm doing everything I can to find a cure, ya know?!
Marisa
I don't think you realize how hard it is to focus when I'm trying my best not to laugh at you!
Kisume
S-Stop adding fuel to the fire!
Mystia
The fairies have surrounded Alice!
It's like they're in a musical!
And Alice is playing the lead role!
Marisa
This ain't the time for quirky analogies!
Alice
I think a good beating here is imperative!
Mystia
EEK!
Kyouko
W-We're innocent!
Alice
Blame Marisa!
Marisa
Sorry, but you're gonna have to lend a hand!
Kisume
N-Nooooo!
Alice
Let's begin a new tale. One filled with your screams and wails!
Marisa
Whoa, where are all these fairies coming from?!
Kyouko
There's no end in sight!
Kisume
AAAAAAAAAAH! I-I'm trapped!
Mystia
Wh-What do we do?!
Alice
Sorry, but it's time for this tale to end. It's sad, but I don't need such an insensitive friend.
Alice
And so...
Alice
You have to go!
Everyone
EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Punk Rock!
Kisume
*sob* There's no end to these fairies! And Alice is showing no signs of tiring out!
Mystia
Argh, I've had enough! This should work better than bullets!
Kisume
Wh-What are you gonna do?!
Mystia
LA LA LALALAAA LA!
Kyouko
The fairies have stopped running amok...
Marisa
They aren't dancing and singing anymore. Have they gone back to normal?
Kyouko
Does that mean Mystia's singing is effective against Musical Syndrome?!
Mystia
Maybe... but there are still lots of fairies dancing around.
Alice
We may have lost some of our cast members, but our musical is one to remember!
Marisa
Alice is still acting weird.
Kisume
B-But things are better than before!
Everyone who's infected is singing...
Maybe singing back will cure them.
Kyouko
Yeah, maybe!
Mystia
But they won't all be able to hear me if I'm the only one singing.
Mystia
Besides, it isn't working on some of them...
Kyouko
Then I'll sing with you! It'll have double the effect! ...Maybe.
Marisa
Can't you do better than "maybe"?!
Mystia
It's worth a try! C'mon!
Choujuu Gigaku
No BEGINNING! No END! Just sermons and LAMPREEEEY!
Marisa
Whoa, it's way more effective this time!
Kyouko
There are still so many of them! Let's give it all we've got!
Kisume
They're amazing...
Kisume
...
Kisume
I know I'm weak. I lack confidence, and nobody ever notices me...
Kisume
But that doesn't mean I'm useless.
Kisume
And I'm gonna prove that to you!
Kisume
I can't just watch from the sidelines! There's gotta be something I can do!
Kisume
...I know!
Kisume
U-Um...!
Mystia
Kisume?! Leave the rest to us─
Kisume
I-I wanna sing, too!
Choujuu Gigaku
Huh?!
Kisume
You don't want me to...?
Kyouko
It's not that! We were just surprised, is all!
Mystia
Go ahead and sing whatever you feel like!
Kisume
O-OK!
Kisume
*deep breath*
Kisume
Is...
Marisa
...?
Kisume
Is THIS the body you DROPPED?!
Marisa, Kyouko & Mystia
...?!
W-Was that... punk rock?!
That was some hardcore punk!
Marisa
Really hardcore...
Choujuu Gigaku
...
Kisume
Wh-What's wrong...?
Kisume
D-Did I suck?! Was it that bad?!
Choujuu Gigaku
A-Amazing!
Kisume
Huh...?
Kyouko
I didn't know you could sing! That was impressive!
Mystia
I love your voice! You were screaming from your soul! That was some awesome punk rock!
Kisume
R-Really?! Hehehe, thanks!
Marisa
Wh-Whoa, look at the fairies! The song worked!
Mystia
Wow, I think we can cure them all!
Kyouko
We'll sing with you this time! Are you ready?
Kisume
Y-Yeah!
Choujuu Gigaku & Kisume
QUIET! It's bone-throwin' TIME!
Alice
What a tragedy! How did I lose? Wait a minute...
Alice
I-I don't need to sing anymore! I'm fixed!
Kisume
W-Woohoo! Miss Alice is back to normal!
Mystia
Everyone's cured!
Marisa
Thanks for helping Alice!
Alice
My ears hurt a little, though...
Alice
But I'm all better now. I feel oddly reenergized. Thanks!
Kyouko
We're glad we could help!
Kyouko
Apparently, the more aggressive the song, the more effective it is.
Mystia
So basically, songs that are the complete opposite of musical numbers. That's why hardcore punk worked!
Kyouko
OK, now that we know what works, we need to get things ready!
Kisume
For what?
Mystia
Isn't that obvious?!
Kyouko
We're gonna save everyone in Gensokyo!
Choujuu Gigaku
We're gonna form a hardcore punk rock band!
Kisume
Um... am I also a part of that band?
Mystia
Do you even need to ask?!
Kyouko
C'mon, let's go! We gotta hurry!
Kisume
Um... where are we going?!
Marisa
Good luck, I guess!
A Legend is Born
Kyouko
We're gonna do this ALL DAY LONG! Let's start with a GOOOOOOD MORNING!
Mystia
Guitar, CHECK! Mic, CHECK! Eel restaurant, CHECK! Surely you meant to say all day AND all night!
Kyouko
Everything's looking good! I'm really excited now!
Mystia
Me too! And we've got the perfect outfits for our new band!
Kyouko
What are you doing in the corner over there, Kisume? Come on out here!
Kisume
B-B-But I feel so embarrassed in this outfit! I've never worn anything like this before!
Mystia
Wow, really? Then you better start wearing clothes like these more often! You look really good in them!
Kisume
F-For real?!
Kyouko
Yeah! Have some confidence!
Kisume
O-OK...!
Kisume
Your HEADS belong to US! We'll drag you down to the depths of the UNDERWORLD!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME is gonna blow everyone away!
Wow, you guys look so cool!
Your outfits are perfect! Even I'm excited now!
Kisume
Hehe, that made me smile!
Kisume
And I look like a part of the band now!
Kyouko
You don't just look like it! You ARE one of us!
Mystia
Yeah! You're our lead singer! This new band exists because of YOU!
Kisume
Miss Kyouko, Miss Mystia...!
Kisume
I'll do my best for the band!
Kyouko
Look, we already have an audience... an infected one!
Mystia
This is perfect! Let's do a mini-performance for practice!
Kisume
I-I'm kinda nervous... but I'll give it a shot!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Here come some rocking bullets!
Kisume
Take that! Don't you ever come here again!
Mystia
Nice, you guys! That performance was loaded with passion!
Kyouko
My mic stand is as roughed up as the broom I use for cleaning!
Kisume
Hehe! I had a lot of fun! Let's cure everyone with our rock music!
Kyouko
Let's go!
Mystia
I can't wait to perform!
Kisume
GAHAHA! Where are we going next?!
Battle of the Bands
Kyouko
We've already cured loads of youkai!
Mystia
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME is working wonders!
Kisume
...
Kyouko
What's wrong, Kisume?
Kisume
Um... It's just that...
Kisume
I was wondering how someone like me is able to sing and help people...
Kisume
I'm surprised I'm not just holding you all back!
Mystia
You're doing great, you know? You should have more confidence in yourself!
Kyouko
Yeah! I'd love to see you believe in yourself!
Kisume
I-I think I've gained a little confidence...! C'mon, let's keep going!
???
Wow! Guys, look who I found!
Kisume
EEEEEEEK!
Kyouko
Oh, hey, aren't you─
Mystia
─Masked Dancer Rebellion?!
Kokoro
I can't believe Choujuu Gigaku is here!!
Yatsuhashi
It's a blessing in disguise!
Benben
We wanted to have another concert together, but we can't with all this musical madness.
Mai
We even got permission from Master for our concert... but we're stuck dealing with this nonsense instead!
Satono
It'll be fine! We can have our concert once we fix things!
Kisume
Are you guys also trying to get everyone back to normal?
Kokoro
Yep! I take it you are too, then. But wait... why are you with them?
Kisume
Wh-Whaddya mean...?
Kokoro
Are you a member of Choujuu Gigaku now?! I'm a little jealous! Just a little!
Kisume
EEEEEEEP! I-I-I-I'm sorryyyyyyy!
Kyouko
Stand tall, Kisume.
Kyouko
It's in the name, after all. We're Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME!
Kokoro
Wh-What?! We have a new band in Gensokyo?! I'm so looking forward to your concert!
Benben
Gosh, Kokoro. Calm down...
Kokoro
Oops! I lost control for a second there!
Kisume
D-Don't worry about it!
Satono
Let's get back on topic. Maybe it's fate that we ran into each other here. Why don't we exchange information?
Mystia
Sure, we're working toward the same goal anyway.
Kisume
W-We'll tell you everything we know!
Kokoro
Hmm, so that's how you ended up working together to cure "Musical Syndrome."
Kyouko
Yeah, but we still don't know what's causing it.
Yatsuhashi
But punk rock is effective against it, right? That's pretty good to know.
Mai
Don't you think it's strange? It's not a disease, but it's spreading like one. And people like us are completely fine.
Satono
Master might know something... Maybe only the youkai above ground are affected by whatever this is.
Kyouko
That would make sense considering Kisume, PLAYER, and Marisa are showing no symptoms...
Kokoro
And maybe we're fine 'cause we're all connected to music in one way or the other.
Hm, so the syndrome is linked to music?
But there's still a lot more we need to find out!
Kokoro
Yeah, all this complicated stuff is going to make my head explode!
Kyouko
Same here! Why don't we freshen up with a little battle of bullets?
Benben
Ooooh, a battle of the bands! I'm in!
Kokoro
Now this is what I call a gekokujo! It perfectly suits our band name─Masked Dancer Rebellion!
Kokoro
So... what are we waiting for?!
Masked Dancer Rebellion
Let's begin!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Bring it on!
Kyouko
Phew, that was fun. I feel much better now!
Yatsuhashi
Yeah, thanks for the music battle!
Kisume
S-Same here!
Satono
Why don't we have a concert together once all this is over?
Mystia
That's a nice idea! Let's do our best to make that happen!
Kokoro
Great! Now let's go somewhere we haven't already checked for clues!
Mai
Hm, that'll be around Nameless Hill or Hakurei Shrine.
Mystia
OK, you guys go there, we'll go check the mountain.
Kyouko
The Youkai Mountain is pretty huge. I'm sure we'll find something there!
Kokoro
All right! Let's catch up later!
Kisume
S-Sure!
Spin Spin Spin
Kyouko
Ugh, there are so many youkai affected by Musical Syndrome here!
Mystia
It's like everyone on the mountain is having a huge concert.
Kisume
Look, there are more of them over there!
Hina & Medicine
Spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin!
Mystia
I'm getting dizzy just looking at them...
Hina & Medicine
Spin around, spin around, like a Medi-go-round!
Kisume
They seem to be having fun... Should we really stop them?
Medicine
Please make it stop, my ears are ringing!
Hina
But it's fun, I wanna keep spinning!
Kyouko
Let's just hit them with some punk rock for now.
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
This one's called Genbu Ravine in the Youkai Mountain!
Hina
Th-That was too much spinning...
Medicine
Thanks for making it stop...
Hina & Medicine
*collapse*
Kyouko
I'd say we successfully took care of that.
Mystia
Yeah, but this isn't over yet. Let's go further in.
Kisume
We gotta keep this up!
Rocky Mountain
Kyouko
Hm, we haven't found any information that can help us put things back to normal.
Kisume
Isn't there someone who knows something...?
Maybe there is!
But they might be out looking for a scoop...
Mystia
Oh, yeah! Aya or Hatate might know something!
Kyouko
They're probably already writing an article about all this!
Kisume
...
Mystia
What's wrong, Kisume?
Kisume
Huh?! N-No, it's nothing!
Kyouko
Are you tired? We've been running around all day, after all...
Mystia
Why don't we take a little break, then? We're not that far from the Waterfall of Nine Heavens.
Kisume
I-I'm fine! Really...!
???
YOU THERE!
Mystia
EEK! Oh, it's just Momiji. You scared me!
Kyouko
All the patrol tengu are here. Have they tightened security because of Musical Syndrome?
Momiji
The security is tight all day and all night―
Momiji
We maintain law and order for all those within our borders.
Kisume
Uh-oh, I've got a bad feeling about this...
Kyouko
She's infected, isn't she?
Momiji
Your crude lyrics sound like screeching spirits! And don't get me started on your outfits! I'll only end up throwing a fit!
Momiji
They're so unruly! You've left me appalled... truly!
Momiji
I'm a proud white wolf tengu, and there's no way I'm gonna spare you!
Mystia
Hey, that's not nice! I'll admit we were a bit loud, but hardcore punk and rock songs have their own charm!
Kisume
A-And we aren't randomly going around performing! We're helping everyone who's infected like you are!
Momiji
Enough with the excuses. Leave, before I show you how short my fuse is!
Kyouko
*sigh* Sorry, but that's not gonna happen. Now move!
Kisume
We'll show you what happens to anyone who gets in our way!
Momiji
Thank you for fixing me.
Momiji
I don't understand why I was acting that way.
Kyouko
It sounds like this syndrome is affecting the mind rather than the body.
Momiji
I'm not really sure, but it suddenly started when I was focused on patrolling. I couldn't resist the urge to sing.
Mystia
Hm, so even after you developed symptoms, you weren't physically hurt and you didn't lose control of your body!
Kyouko
I think we've made some progress! I just hope Aya and Hatate are fine.
Kyouko
By the way, are you sure you don't need to rest, Kisume?
Mystia
Yeah, I'm kinda worried about you. You're awfully quiet all of a sudden.
Kisume
Um, don't worry about it! C'mon, let's keep going!
Kyouko
I wonder what's wrong...
Mystia
Beats me. Let's just go after her for now!
Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
Kyouko
There they are! Let's go ask them what they know!
Kisume
Um...
Mystia
Kisume, are you acting weird because you're not on good terms with Aya and Hatate?
Kisume
Th-That's... Um...!
Is it because they published that picture of you?
Or is there something else?
Kisume
Yeah, there's more. They once came to interview me and─
Aya
Why if it isn't Miss Kisume!
Hatate
Oh, hey! It's Kisume!
Kyouko
Gah, they've got such bad timing. And of course, they're infected.
Aya
Do you want another interview?
Hatate
You definitely should start anew.
Kisume
...You!
Mystia
Huh?
Kisume
How dare you say all those mean things about me?!
Kisume
You called me boring and timid and said no one fears a youkai who sits in a bucket all day!
Aya
Y-You added the bucket part there.
Hatate
M-Maybe we should restart this affair.
Kisume
You didn't think I was worthy of an article... so I think you deserve a beating with my bones!
Kisume
It's only fair if I chop off your HEADS!
Hatate & Aya
E-EEEEEEEEEEP! HEEEEELP!
Kisume
GAHAHA! OK, I'll spare your heads. But instead─
Kisume
I'll show you the true meaning of FEAR with my song!
Hatate & Aya
AAAAAAAH!
Mystia
I-It looks like her past trauma has been triggered... and now she's ready to shoot.
Kyouko
She's gonna finish them off before we can get any answers!
Mystia
Let's join the battle and beat the Musical Syndrome out of them!
Aya
Miss Kyouko, Miss Mystia!
Hatate
We could do with a little help here!
Mystia
Sorry, but we're her band members! And as you can see, she's far from boring! She's a rockstar now!
Kyouko
This song will prove it to you! And when it's done, you're gonna tell us everything you know!
Hatate & Aya
Wh-Why is this happening?!
Kisume
HA HA HA! Be careful not to lose your heads in the process!
Aya
Th-That was amazing! I haven't felt like this since the last time I saw Masked Dancer Rebellion live!
Hatate
We've got two big stories! The Musical Syndrome that's spreading through Gensokyo, and now this band!
Hatate
I'm gonna interview their lead singer first. Don't you dare get in my way.
Aya
Are you so afraid of losing to me that you need to call dibs? Geez, that's why you'll always be a third-rate reporter.
Hatate
What did you call me?!
Kyouko
Um, sorry to interrupt, but do you have any information on Musical Syndrome?
Mystia
Have you seen anything odd these last couple of days? Or did something strange happen when you developed symptoms?
Aya
Hm, I haven't seen anything, but I did hear something.
Hatate
Yeah, same here. I heard music... coming from the sky.
Is that when you started showing symptoms?!
Aya
That's right. We started acting weird after hearing that music.
Hatate
The same thing happened to all the youkai around here.
Kyouko
So now we know what's causing it.
Mystia
And who it's affecting! C'mon, let's go right to the source!
Kisume
U-Um...
Hatate & Aya
Y-Yes?!
Kisume
Th-Thanks for the information. See you later!
Hatate & Aya
W-We should be more careful when interviewing her...
Stairway to Heaven
Violin Player
The songs they use for musicals are so calming.
Keyboard Player
Yeah, we've learned quite a few of them these past few days! What genre do you wanna play next?
Trumpet Player
Hm, comedy, tragedy... they're all so good! But I want something happy! Something that'll get everyone pumped up!
Keyboard Player
Yeah, that'll be nice! So... something like this?
Violin Player
But I gotta admit, I never thought I'd get so addicted to musicals.
Trumpet Player
They're so layered. You can never get bored of them! I could literally play them forever!
Keyboard Player
How about we perform songs from musicals for our next concert? I bet everyone will love it!
Violin Player
Good idea! I'll get the flyers and posters ready─
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Hold it right there!
Keyboard Player
Whoa, what was that?! Oh, hey, it's you guys!
Violin Player
What's up? You scared me there for a sec.
Trumpet Player
Yeah, me too. Can we do something for you?
Mystia
I'll give it to you straight. We want you to stop playing.
Lyrica
Huh, why?! This music is so good!
Kyouko
You guys may be having fun, but your performance is causing a weird phenomenon in Gensokyo.
Kisume
Y-Yeah! For the past couple of days─
Lunasa
Musical Syndrome? Wow, I didn't know something like that was spreading across Gensokyo...
Merlin
Yeah, we had no clue. We didn't mean any harm...
Mystia
The feelings you put into your songs are really powerful. That's why it's been spreading like wildfire.
Kyouko
It should stop once you stop playing.
Kisume
It'll at least prevent more people from getting infected... So um... please stop!
Lyrica
Well, in that case...
Prismriver Sisters
We gotta keep playing!
Mystia
H-How will that help?!
Lunasa
Musicals are awesome!
Merlin
It's making everyone in Gensokyo happy! Musical Syndrome is the best thing that could've happened!
Lyrica
If our performance is helping it spread, then we gotta keep playing!
Kyouko
There's nothing good about it! It's only causing problems for everyone!
Merlin
But you guys seem to be fine. Or are you not?
Kyouko
Mystia and I weren't affected because we sing all the time, and Kisume's fine because she was down in the Underworld.
Mystia
Humans also seem to be fine, but the youkai are showing pretty severe symptoms.
Lunasa
I see... So that's why you guys aren't singing and dancing.
Kisume
Th-There's nothing wrong with enjoying something, but not when it's driving everyone crazy...
Kyouko
And there's a difference between having fun and being forced to have fun.
Merlin
I agree.
Lunasa
But who says they're being forced to enjoy musicals? Maybe they're actually enjoying it.
Well, we haven't asked, so we can't be sure...
Lyrica
Then aren't you being too hasty in telling us to stop?
Lunasa
For all you know, they're having the time of their lives.
Kisume
B-But some of them were pleading for help! So, um... can you please stop─
Merlin
Ugh! There's nothing happy about all this arguing!
Mystia
Yeah, if neither of us is gonna agree...
Everyone
Let's settle this with a music battle!
Lunasa
We'll show you how awesome musicals are!
Kisume
We've come this far, we aren't gonna back down now!
Lunasa
You asked for this!
Prismriver Sisters
Now drown in subtle melodies of serenity and joy!
Lunasa
How did we lose in a battle of music?!
Kyouko
Maybe it's about time you give up.
Lyrica
*sob* But we were having so much fun...
Mystia
We aren't saying musicals are bad. Nor are we asking you to stop performing forever.
Kisume
Y-Yeah! I'm sure we'll find a way to get everyone back to normal, and then you can play whatever you want─
???
Those beats were fire. You guys seem to be having fun.
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
I-I know that voice!
Another One Bites the Dust
???
Listening to Choujuu Gigaku's passionate beats with the Prismriver sisters' splendid melody was just spectacular!
Raiko
And you have a new member! Are you guys rehearsing for your next concert?
Kyouko
That would've been fun, but that's not what we're doing.
Kisume
U-Um... everyone in Gensokyo is acting crazy, so we're here to fix it!
Merlin
We didn't even do anything. We were just enjoying musicals, and then we got dragged into a battle.
Lyrica
I guess we'll have to stop performing musicals for now... even though they're so good!
Raiko
Hm, I don't know what's going on between you guys, but...
Raiko
I don't think you need to stop playing music.
Lunasa
Huh...?!
Mystia
Wh-Why would you say that?!
Raiko
I mean, I saw your music battle! You guys were truly having fun!
Kisume
I guess... that's true.
Mystia
We were focused on resolving the Musical Syndrome problem, but I did have fun.
Kyouko
Yeah, it felt like we were simply performing as a new band.
Kisume
I didn't know you guys felt the same way...
Raiko
You aren't done yet, are you? I wanna play, too!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Huh?!
Raiko
I promised Reimu I wouldn't go wild unless I was performing at a concert!
Raiko
Remember when we played together against Kokoro's band?! I know we lost, but it was still a lot of fun!
Raiko
Losing was frustrating, but I'll never forget the passion in our performance!
Lyrica
You're right! It was really exciting! I'd love to do that again!
Lunasa
We haven't had a Prismriver With H concert in a while. Maybe we should have one soon.
Merlin
Yeah, it'll be nice to win against the Masked Dancer Rebellion this time!
Raiko
I know, right?! C'mon, let's start practicing!
Kisume
W-W-W-Wait a minute!
Raiko
What now? Do you wanna join us?
Kisume
Thanks for the invitation. I get that playing music is a lot of fun, but...
Kisume
We can't just ignore everything that's happening in Gensokyo!
Raiko
That's too bad 'cause we even have an audience here...
Mystia
Whoa, where did all these fairies and phantoms come from?!
Kisume
M-Maybe they were drawn here by our music battle earlier!
Mystia
There are so many of them! How are we gonna deal with them AND Prismriver With H?!
Kyouko
Stop panicking! We'll cure the fairies and phantoms first!
Raiko
If you're up for playing, then why not just play with us? Why put up a fight?
Raiko
You're doing your instruments a disservice.
Kisume
Even so... this is something we gotta do!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
We won't STOP! We can't STOP! Rock's all about pushing forward NONSTOP!
Raiko
Tired already? The concert has just begun!
Lyrica
It's only gonna keep getting wilder!
Mystia
Th-This is tough... The cards are stacked against us with so many of them working together!
Kyouko
Not to mention, more and more infected phantoms keep showing up!
Kisume
...
Kisume
(Is this it? Is there nothing I can do to help...?)
Encore
Kyouko
...Maybe we should give up.
Mystia
I don't wanna, but I'm at my limit...
Kisume
I know... B-But I...!
We've come this far! We can't just give up now!
I believe in you guys!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
...!
Kisume
You're right!
Kisume
We're Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME! And we're gonna save Gensokyo!
Mystia
Kisume's right! We gotta toughen up!
Kyouko
It's not over till it's over! C'mon, let's keep pushing forward!
Kisume
Who says boring and timid people can't do anything?!
Kisume
I can... and I will SING!
Kisume
A crowd of phantoms is NO BIG DEAL!
Kisume
None of their HEADS are worth a STEAL!
Mystia
My voice and my guitar are all you're gonna hear!
Mystia
DIVE TO BLACK! Into the endless night! Hear my NIGHTBIRD SOUL!
Kyouko
Don't forget me! I'm here to stay!
Kyouko
Now listen up, it's sutra time! HA RA! SO! GYAAAAATEEEEE!
Kisume
W-Wow, you guys are amazing!
Kyouko
NOW, Kisume!
Mystia
Take it away!
Kisume
G-Got it! Here I go!
Kisume
HEAD HEAD HEAD! CHOP CHOP CHOP! LEAVE 'EM BEHIND! THEY'RE ALL MINE!
Kisume
*huff* *huff* Phew, it worked...
Mystia
Are you all right, Kisume?!
Kisume
I-I'm fine! I can... keep going!
Kyouko
That's the spirit! But promise me you won't overexert yourself!
Kisume
...!
Yamame
OK, fine... If that's how bad you wanna do this, then I'm rooting for you!
Yamame
We don't know who's behind this...
Yamame
...so promise me you won't do anything risky!
Kisume
...I promise!
Kyouko
Gosh... A little rest would've been nice.
Kisume
Ahaha... yeah.
Mystia
It looks like they want an encore... C'mon, let's do one more song!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
LISTEN TO OUR SONG!
Raiko
Wow, not bad!
Merlin
Your performance has gotten better!
Lyrica
But as proud band members, we can't let you win!
Lunasa
Let's have one more round!
Kyouko
Bring it on!
Kyouko
We're gonna resume band practice once this is over! Or even better, we'll have a concert with our new band!
Mystia
For our fans!
Kisume
And to keep my promise!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
We're gonna win this!
Raiko
Now I'm excited! Let's have this showdown!
Prismriver Sisters
Get wrecked with bullets of exquisite music!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
We'll shake you up with our soulful screams and bullets!
Grand Finale
Lunasa
That performance was brilliant. We admit defeat... We'll stop playing for now.
Raiko
I didn't know you guys could be so passionate...
Raiko
Hehe! You've made me want to perform against you!
Kisume
U-Um, but there's no reason for you to fight us!
Mystia
Yeah, you can perform at concerts if you really wanna play.
Kyouko
And if you're into musicals, you can talk to the Prismriver sisters about Musical Syndrome before─
Raiko
Huh? This has got nothing to do with any of that.
Kisume
Then why do you wanna battle us?!
Raiko
'Cause I was moved by your performance, and I wanna scream my lungs out with you. That's all there is to it.
Mystia
As someone who loves music, I completely understand how you feel.
Kyouko
If that's the case, then we'll battle you till you're satisfied!
Raiko
I knew you'd understand!
Raiko
What about you, Kisume? This battle is just to appease my selfish demands. You don't need to do this if you don't wanna.
Kisume
I-I...
Don't be afraid to be honest, Kisume.
You can tell us what you really want.
Kisume
I, um...
Kisume
I'm the lead singer of Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME! I'm gonna sing with all I've got!
Raiko
Good decision! You guys have got a gem of a member right there.
Mystia
Hehe, I know, right? We wouldn't have come this far without her!
Raiko
Now let me hear the beats of the bonds you've formed! All set?!
Kisume
Yeah!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Get ready for our song to ROCK YOU TO YOUR CORE!
Raiko
That was epic! Thank you for giving it your best!
Kisume
Y-You were pretty impressive yourself!
Mystia
Are you satisfied now, Raiko?
Raiko
Yeah! I had a lot of fun!
Kyouko
Great! I guess we can move on from this now.
Benben
Look, all the youkai affected by Musical Syndrome are returning to normal!
Yatsuhashi
Wow, how did that happen...?
Satono & Mai
I bet Kisume and the others found a cure!
Kokoro
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME beat us to the punch! But I'll admit, they did a really good job!
Reisen
Master, what was that weird syndrome that spread all across Gensokyo?
Eirin
I've got no clue. Let's just be glad it's over.
Reisen
Yeah, it was kinda embarrassing...
Marisa
The way you were acting was just hilarious!
Alice
Shut up, Marisa! It's not that funny! You're making me want to scream!
Marisa
Scream? You mean you're gonna sing rock songs this time?
Nazrin
M-Master!
Shou
Nazrin! You're back to normal!
Byakuren
What happened? Did someone find a cure...?
Byakuren
If they did, we must thank them for their gallant efforts.
Rock Till Ya Drop!
Kyouko
I was really worried there for a bit, but we did it!
Kisume
Yeah, I'm glad we managed to put things back to normal!
Mystia
I still can't believe the four of us fixed everything... Hehe, things always have a way of working out, don't they?!
Kyouko
I can't believe it, either! I think it all worked out because we did our best and didn't give up till the very end!
Kisume
Y-Yeah! And all of this has helped me gain a little more confidence...
Kisume
I-I'm still a bit of a scaredy cat, but I'm really glad I got to hang out with you guys!
Kyouko
All the credit goes to your hard work!
Mystia
Your singing packed a lot of punch! Maybe you should be more like that in your everyday life! A makeover might help!
Kyouko
Yeah! You'll be like the scary youkai from hell!
Mystia
And your costume is perfect! It's more rock and roll than what you usually wear.
Kisume
You really think so...?
(I kinda wanna see Kisume get a makeover!)
(She'll be scary if she dresses like that all the time!)
Kisume
It'll make me really happy if people think I'm a cool and awesome youkai!
Kisume
But I've been wondering if that's what I really want...
Kisume
Yamame once told me that she thinks I'm fine the way I am.
Kisume
Back then, I insisted that I wanna change... But now that I think about it, I like being the way I am.
Kyouko & Mystia
Kisume...
Kisume
D-Don't get me wrong, I'd love to keep this band alive and play with you guys every now and then!
Kyouko
Of course! We're not gonna disband just 'cause the Musical Syndrome problem is resolved!
Mystia
Yeah! We gotta do tons of concerts together!
Kisume
S-Sure!
Merlin
Your punk rock music was really impressive!
Lyrica
The hardcore lyrics completely blew my mind!
Kisume
S-Stop it, you guys! You're making me blush!
Kyouko
Your performance was also pretty impressive! It invoked all sorts of emotions in me. I could picture a whole story!
Lunasa
Thanks. But I gotta say, I didn't know punk rock could be so aggressive and yet so cool. It's quite fascinating.
Raiko
I know, right?!
Raiko
It's like the intensity of the music burns right through to your soul! Now I wanna play some punk rock!
Mystia
Why don't you perform with us at our upcoming concert?
Merlin
That'll be awesome! Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Lyrica
I can't wait to perform together!
Kyouko
Why don't we play a little something together to plan out our concert?!
Raiko
Great idea! Let's pump out some hardcore beats!
Kisume
Are you guys ready?!
Everyone
YEAH!
Everyone
Here goes... Barrier of LIFE AND DEATH!
Satono
Um... are you seeing what I'm seeing...?
Kokoro
Yep...
Fairy Rock Opera
It's time to ROCK 'N' ROLL! Get ready to feel it in your SOUL!
Masked Dancer Rebellion
First, musicals, and now everyone's a rockstar...!
Making Rock History
Kyouko
It's finally concert day!
Kisume
I-I never thought I'd be a part of such a huge live show! I hope I don't mess up...!
Kyouko
Don't worry, you'll be fine! You've worked really hard! And it's OK even if you do slip up 'cause we're here to have fun!
Mystia
Kyouko's right. We're musicians, so let's just enjoy the music!
Kisume
O-OK!
Kyouko
But I gotta say, I never thought the whole Musical Syndrome fiasco would lead to something good.
Mystia
There was music everywhere in Gensokyo while it was going around.
Mystia
And that probably made everyone want to perform and go to concerts.
That was nice and all, but...
Then we went and caused Rock Syndrome!
Kyouko
Ahaha... Yeah, I didn't think that would happen just 'cause we played punk rock for everyone.
Mystia
But it makes sense if you think about it. If the Prismriver sisters' songs can cause Musical Syndrome...
Kyouko
Our punk rock can definitely cause Rock Syndrome.
Kisume
When we got back to find everyone was infected, I couldn't believe my eyes... or ears!
Kyouko
Well, everything's back to normal now, so let's just enjoy ourselves!
Kisume
Y-Yeah! I'm kinda nervous, but I'm really looking forward to this!
???
Same here!
Kyouko
Hey, I was wondering where you were!
Raiko
Sorry, we're a bit late! It's been so long since we last wore these outfits that it took us a while to put them on!
Lyrica
Too bad we couldn't get some rocker costumes ready...
Kisume
B-But you guys look really nice in the ones you've got on!
Merlin
Hehe, thanks!
Mystia
I think what we've got going on here is perfect for today's fusion between rock and orchestral music!
Lunasa
Well, that's good.
Lunasa
But I'd like to dress like a rocker someday...
Kyouko
Did you say something, Lunasa?
Lunasa
N-Nope, nothing at all!
Merlin
I'm amazed you guys managed to set up a concert so soon!
Lyrica
And it looks like it's gonna be a pretty big one!
Mystia
I should hope so. This is our first ever live performance together!
Raiko
I can't wait to see the audience enjoying our music! C'mon, let's go to the venue!
Kisume
L-Let's give it all we've got!
Everyone
YEAH!
Everyone
YEAH!
The Power of Music
Kisume
Whooooooaaa!
Kisume
A-Amazing...!
Merlin
I'm so happy we get to use this stage again!
Lyrica
Yeah, the Garden of the Sun is a nice location, but there's something very special about this one!
Lunasa
It's perfect for today's concert.
Raiko
We're gonna rock Gensokyo with our passionate beats! Let's light up this exceptional stage!
Mystia
It's not every day we get to play here! It's time to have some fun!
Kyouko
It wasn't easy getting it set up, either.
Kisume
Y-Yeah! But we're having such a huge concert, so we went all out! It seemed impossible, but we got it done...!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
...With the power of music!
Nitori
I already told you it's not possible!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Please, you gotta help us!
Kyouko
You've already built it once before, so it shouldn't be that hard to do it again!
Mystia
It's gotta be a piece of cake with the technical skills of a kappa and a yamawaro put together.
Nitori
Yeah, easy for you to say... But I guess it's not impossible if we use all our resources.
Takane
We're running a business here. No one's gonna say "Yes, of course," to doing extra work without decent compensation.
Nitori
We've already got plenty of other requests to take care of. It's better if you just give up and go away.
Kisume
Th-This can't be happening...
I know we're asking for a lot, but please...
It'll take their concert to the next level!
Takane
We don't wanna be rude to you, PLAYER, but...
Nitori
Yeah, we're really pressed for time. Please go with another venue.
Kyouko
We understand you're busy, but we can't just give up.
Kisume
Everyone's really looking forward to the concert!
Mystia
We're gonna change your mind!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
With the power of music!
Takane & Nitori
Wh-Why is this happening?!
Nitori
You got your point across. We understand how bad you want this, but setting up a stage isn't easy, you know?
Takane
And you want one that floats. We gotta procure materials and people to help us build it all...
Kisume
Y-Yes... we realize we're being unreasonable.
Kisume
But lots of people are gonna play at this concert! And many more will watch it! We wanna make it special for all of them!
Takane
Did you say lots of people are gonna be there?
Nitori
Is it that big a concert? That means─
Takane & Nitori
It's an opportunity to make money!
Kyouko
So now you're interested, huh?
Kisume
Um... does this mean you're gonna do it?
Takane & Nitori
Yes, of course!
Mystia
But I thought you said... Never mind. I guess it's only fair you two get something out of it.
Nitori
Come on, Takane! We've got no time to spare!
Takane
I'm way ahead of you!
Kisume
And they're gone...
Kyouko
Yep. They're off to build our stage!
Road to Redemption
Kyouko
Getting here wasn't easy, but we made it! All that practice and the trouble we went through for the venue was worth it!
Lunasa
Our performers and audience are slowly starting to show up.
Merlin
We've still got some time before the concert starts, but I can already feel the excitement in the air!
Kisume, are you looking for someone in the audience?
I can help if you are!
Kisume
Huh?! Um, no never mind!
???
Why if it isn't Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME and Prismriver With H!
Mystia
I knew you'd come!
Mystia
Masked Dancer Rebellion!
Kokoro
I can't believe you got Nitori and Takane to build this stage for you! Hats off to you guys! That's why you're our rivals!
Mai
The stage is impressive. I wonder if Master will come to the concert.
Satono
She'll probably be watching from somewhere like she did the last time.
Benben
But we all know why you guys put in so much effort to get this venue...
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
*gulp*
Yatsuhashi
You put everyone through hell with Rock Syndrome.
Kokoro
We were so shocked when the fairies and youkai suddenly started screaming their lungs out!
Mystia
Yeah, we heard what happened...
Benben
It's good that everyone went back to normal once you guys stopped performing.
Kyouko
Ahaha... sorry about that!
Raiko
We just couldn't help ourselves. It was like everyone's souls were rocking out together.
Mai
But at least people were introduced to different genres of music because of this whole fiasco!
Yatsuhashi
And this grand concert is also a result of it. I'd say it all worked out well.
Kokoro
On that note, why don't we have a battle of bullets? It'll be like a rehearsal before the concert!
Kisume
What?! You wanna battle us again?!
Satono
It'll be a good warm-up!
Kokoro
Don't forget, we're your rivals! We won't go easy on you!
Kisume
B-Bring it on!
Mystia
We don't plan on holding back, either!
Raiko
This is our chance to redeem ourselves!
Lyrica
Let's do this!
Masked Dancer Rebellion
Gekokujo time!
Kisume
Let the battle begin!
On Stage Antics
Kokoro
Wow, that rehearsal was fire! It felt like we were performing live!
Mystia
That was some next-level performance. Well done, everyone!
Mai
Now I've got no doubt that we're gonna rock this concert!
Satono
I'm sure the other performers are also gonna bring their best to the stage! Tonight is gonna be epic!
Merlin
Yeah, I'm so excited!
Lunasa
Hehe, now let's check our instruments one more time to avoid any accidents on stage.
Raiko
Good idea! And I'll make sure our setlist is in order!
Kokoro
We'll go check the spacing on the stage for our performance!
Kyouko
We should also test our mics and stuff just in case!
Kisume
O-OK!
Mystia
Let's meet up later─
???
Whoa, is this where the concert's happening?!
Kisume
Huh...?
Lily White
Wow, this stage is huge!
Daiyousei
Hey, I don't think we're allowed to be up here! They're gonna get mad at us!
Cirno
No one's gonna say anything! You need to learn to chillax!
Lily White
Ooooh, what's this shiny thing? *touch*
Cirno
Whoa, look at that mic! It's gotta be for me!
Daiyousei
Stop touching the lights, Lily! And Cirno, stop playing with the equipment!
Cirno
Who wants to hear the STRONGEST fairy sing?!
Lily White
MEEEEE! ...Uh-oh.
Daiyousei
Oh, no, the lights!
Cirno
Huh, what's wrong? ...Uh-oh.
Benben
What's going on here?!
Kokoro
Stop wrecking the stage, you pesky little fairies!
Raiko
I get that you're impatient to see the concert, but can you please go back to your seats?
Lily White
O-OK...
Daiyousei
Sorry, we'll go right away─
Cirno
WHAT?! Are you telling me you don't wanna hear me sing?!
Lily White & Daiyousei
Cirno!
Kyouko
Looks like someone's asking for a scolding.
Kisume
GEHE! Let me give you a choice. What would you rather part with? Your head, your bones, the mic... or all of them!
Fairies
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Kisume
Um... We'll be starting the concert soon, so please go back to your seats!
Lily White
S-Sure!
Lily White & Daiyousei
Sorry for all the fuss!
Daiyousei
C-C'mon, Cirno─
Cirno
...
Daiyousei
...Cirno?
Kyouko
Oh, no...
Kisume
A-A-A-Are you OK, Cirno?! She just fainted out of nowhere! What do we do?!
Raiko
Um, let's carry her to her seat.
Cirno
No more stage pranks... for now.
Yatsuhashi
I didn't expect something like that to happen. But the stage is ready now!
It's all thanks to everyone working together!
Mystia
Being able to work together is what makes us such great rivals!
Kokoro
Hehe, that gives me an idea!
Lyrica
What is it?
Kokoro
He he he. Are you sure you wanna know? It's pretty out there!
Kyouko
Just tell us already!
Kokoro
Well─
A Concert to Remember
Everyone's going crazy over the concert!
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME are up next!
Kyouko
Are you guys having fun?!
Mystia
Thanks for coming to the concert today! There's a lot more to come, so stick around and enjoy yourselves!
Kisume
...!
Kisume
(Yamame's here! And she brought everyone from the Underworld with her!)
Kisume
...I've got this!
Kisume
You guys better keep up or I'll have your heads!
Audience
YAAAAAAY!
Lunasa
We're gonna play a cool and fiery melody for our special collaboration today.
Merlin & Lyrica
Better get ready for our happy marching band and─
Raiko
My electrifying beats that'll shake up your soul!
Kyouko
Don't forget your rivals!
Kisume
Come on out and show us some gekokujo!
Masked Dancer Rebellion
Masked Dancer Rebellion is here!
Yatsuhashi & Benben
Tonight, you'll witness a gekokujo with our magnificent performance!
Satono & Mai
You better not take your eyes off our awesome dance!
Kokoro
Our songs are gonna tug at your heartstrings!
Kyouko
Everyone's hyped up! Are you guys ready for the sutras?!
Audience
GYAAAATEEEE!
Mystia
I'm gonna give you songs hotter than my lamprey! It's time to get fired up!
Audience
Baked lamprey, broiled lamprey, grilled lamprey!
Kisume
C'mon, Misty Lake! Scream your lungs out!
Audience
DROP THOSE BONES!
Mystia
Music START!
Kisume
Take off those masks and let your screams echo through the chambers of hell!
