2	[[https://www.youtube.com/@lyrica-live Lyrica Live]] is a two-person team who specialize in making covers of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' songs - more specifically, covers WithLyrics in English, offering their own take on the many colorful characters of Gensokyo through songs sung via those characters' points of view.

5	!!Lyrica Live's songs provide examples of:
6	* ArcWords: Given the {{Fanon}}/borderline-canon that [[Music/TouhouZUNsMusicCollection Maribel Hearn]] is either linked to, or is, Yukari Yakumo, Lyrica Live seems to make a point of incorporating references to "boundaries" and "gaps" whenever Maribel is singing.
7	* BadassBoast: Given that most of the songs covered are boss fight themes, it's natural that quite a few of those bosses get some good lines in:
8	** [[VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream "Strawberry Crisis!!"]] sees Yumemi, in the middle of a list of things that are "artificial" in her world, declare that:
9	--->''"Limits that you bother to place... are '''ARTIFICIAL!'''"''
10	** [[VideoGame/TouhouKishinjouDoubleDealingCharacter "Reverse Ideology"]] is Seija's theme song, so Lyrica Live's version has the amanojaku [[LargeHam hamming it up]] as she describes how she'll overturn the order of Gensokyo:
11	--->''"The beggars will rise with the governing voice, and the strongest will drop to their knees!"''
12	** "A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander" gives Nazrin an excellent summation of what it means to be a PintSizedPowerhouse:
13	--->''"Size doesn't mean nothin' when it comes to strength of a commander,''
14	--->''When a bold tiger heart beats in the hide of a mouse.''
15	--->''Greater is thought grander, but just try to withstand her -''
16	--->''[[RedBaron The clever little dowser general]], with a big world to dowse!"''
17	* FoeRomanceSubtext: It's ''Touhou'' fandom, so there's bound to be this in the Kaguya/Mokou duets, such as "Eastern Youkai Beauty."
18	* FoodPorn: "Satellite Cafe Terrace" has Maribel and Renko describing the fantastical space-themed food and drinks on offer at the titular [[ImagineSpot (imaginary)]] cafe.
19	* {{Haiku}}: Befitting a samurai, [[VideoGame/TouhouYouyoumuPerfectCherryBlossom Youmu]]'s theme (specifically, "Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple") opens with one.
20	* HeelFaceTurn: Lyrica's cover of [[VideoGame/TouhouKanjudenLegacyOfLunaticKingdom "September Pumpkin"]] is all about how Seiran and Ringo decide to pull theirs.
21	* HurricaneOfPuns: "Dullahan Under the Willows," being sung by [[HeadlessHorseman Sekibanki]], works in as many "head" puns as possible.
22	* ImageSong: Songs sung about Touhou characters, from those characters' POV.
23	* MeaningfulName: The channel is named after Lyrica Prismriver, a ''Touhou'' character who's known for being in a band. Fittingly, [[EstablishingSeriesMoment the very first song they covered]] was in fact Lyrica's theme from ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', "Ghostly Band ~ Phantom Ensemble." (Although they turn it into a [[IAmSong "We Are" Song]] for all three of the Prismriver Sisters.)
24	* PaintingTheMedium: At one point in "Futatsuiwa from Sado," Mamizou is singing about how she can shapeshift into anyone she wants to, and to demonstrate, her portrait onscreen briefly switches between Reimu, Byakuren and Miko in time with the lyrics.
25	* SanitySlippageSong: Lyrica Live works [[VideoGame/TouhouChireidenSubterraneanAnimism "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion"]] into one, showcasing Utsuho as she gets DrunkOnTheDarkSide.
26	* SdrawkcabSpeech: Several lines in "Reverse Ideology" start playing backwards halfway through. [[PaintingTheMedium Perhaps Seija flipped them?]]
27	* TheseusShipParadox: [[VideoGame/TouhouSeirensenUndefinedFantasticObject Nue]] makes reference to it in "Heian Alien."
