Hello all! This is Bit2 with a short cover of Foxtail-Grass Studio's awesome arrangement, "Eastern Youkai Beauty" titled "導きの調べ Melody of Guidance". This is the Last Word theme from Imperishable Night, and also the main theme of Touhou 東方 LostWord (the mobile game). Not sure why the naming is so odd, you have Last Word, Lost Word, and also more commonly misread as Lost World. I'm quite confused initially. Anyway, please enjoy this arrangement with the Guitar, Piano, and Kalimba!

Lyrics:
Did someone plant the seeds?
I do not know their name
Even so, they spread their roots
In this soil

Then, even if we spent this long, long time together…
Just how, how long… 
Even though they’re beaten up
Over and over 
They never give up

They bloom, offering their lives, their whole being 
Praying that their wish would be granted
But now you are not here 
Right, I knew that all along

And yet, you bud 
Each time you grow
You spread you roots in this soil
Just like they did
And you never give up 
Turning your back at something to make your wish happen

A promised name
Descends from the sky
The flood of thoughts 
Blooms with a “promise of reunion” (Kadsura flower)

Flowers are the home of divine, they carry lives 
Coming from heavens to this earth
Open your leaves- 
face towards here, make the flowers bloom!

And now 
You returned here 
This year as well 
Please, do not forget me! they beg
And someday 
The scenery I look upon will be filled with color 
Filled with multitude of emotions

In this way, both this time moment and the ancient past are here Burying the entirety of this Earth (Gensokyo)
Now bloom, bloom, bloom! 
It’s still not enough!
Not until you prove (understand) the weight of those feelings!
I shall not let you forget the length of a dull life 
Not until the promise we exchanged is fulfilled!

At the end of your journey
–just like the color of the day we met 
At the end of your bloom
–as long as the flowers in my heart love me
