The song title currently has two translations:

Scatter gracefully~The ink-stained cherry blossoms!

Bloom elegantly ~ ink-dyed cherry blossoms!

I don’t know which one you like more.

I’m here to do a little popular science.

First of all, this song is from the game "Touhou Youyoumu" .This is the BGM for the final BOSS battle with Saigyouji Yuyuko in Youyoumu.

Let’s briefly talk about the background of Youyoumu (it contains personal subjective opinions. It is not complete and may contain errors. . Please forgive me)

There is a cherry blossom tree "Westward Demon" in the White Jade Tower in the underworld. For thousands of years, it has never bloomed. The owner of Baiyu Tower, Saigyouji Yuyuko, is very curious about it. It is said that if the Westward Demon can be fully activated, some character will be reborn.

There is a poem saying, "The daughter of Fujimi, when the Saigyou Demon is in full bloom, that is, when the Netherworld separates, her soul rests in the White Jade Tower, and seals the flower of the Saixing Demon as a barrier. If possible, I hope I will not suffer pain again and forget reincarnation forever..."

Yuyuko was quite interested in this, so she wanted to make the Saigyu Sakura bloom again. But there is no spring in the underworld, spring cannot come, and flowers will not bloom. At this time, Gensokyo, which is close to the underworld, is in spring, but there is a barrier between them. Coincidentally, the barrier was destroyed, opening a passage connecting the underworld and Gensokyo (this part is about Yakumo Murasaki). So, Yuyuko followed the passage and plundered the spring of Gensokyo.

On the other side, it was clearly April, when spring was supposed to be blooming, but it was still snowing heavily in Gensokyo. The long-awaited spring has not yet arrived. In order to find out the reason, Hakurei Reimu and others searched in the direction where Haru disappeared.

According to the background of the story, the blooming of cherry blossoms in the west is a theme that causes disputes.

So the translation "Elegantly blooming" is the correct answer.

However. Personally, I prefer to scatter elegantly.

The blooming of cherry blossoms is gorgeous and beautiful, but this splendor is short-lived. The moment the cherry blossoms bloom, they will wither. The withering of flowers often makes people sad, but cherry blossoms are different. Although the cherry blossoms have withered away from the branches, the falling petals can turn into a cherry blossom snow, giving them a more gorgeous beauty than when they are in full bloom.

Life is short, live as brightly as a cherry blossom, and even if you die, you must leave as elegantly as a cherry blossom.

Nishigyoji Yuyuko died thousands of years ago . She has had a special ability since birth, and can inadvertently lead living beings to death. Therefore, people around him died one after another.

This made her very distressed and sad, so she caused her own death and was buried under the "Westward Demon".

However, due to the protection of the White Jade Tower, which sealed her soul, Yuyouzi did not die completely, but became a ghost-like existence, and at the same time she had no memory of her life.

The moment when the cherry blossoms bloom. In fact, it is herself who will rebel.

However, because it has been a thousand years. Youyouzi was just a human being when she was alive. It is impossible for the human body to be preserved for more than a thousand years. Even if she is resurrected, Yuyuko will no longer have a body as a container.

So, anti-soul is doomed to fail.

At the moment when the anti-soul is completed. Yuyuko will also face her real death with the withering of Saigyou Sakura. Blooming brilliantly like cherry blossoms, and scattering gorgeously.

Even in the game. After the Saigyou Sakura bloomed, Yuyuko's counter-spirit failed at the last moment, and the Saigyou Sakura only managed to bloom/scatter eight points. So Youyouzi still "survived".

Anti-Soul Butterfly·Hachisaki. After the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Yuyuko's last spell card. It's a very beautiful barrage. This spell card also interprets the scattering of cherry blossoms.
