Clownpiece's theme. ...That other strongest fairy's day is over! It's clown time now!
Only the most obnoxious references are suitable for the gremlin child from hell who literally exists to make fun of the American flag on the moon... And only the most genuine gameplay footage is suitable to express just how horrifying it is to fight a manifestation of impurity. This is my own personal footage you see in the video. Please appreciate how I suffered to make this possible.
As a crazy joker, I imagine Clownpiece to have a very unusual and expressive voice. I don't know that I captured it, but I was trying to take inspiration from the delightfully idiosyncratic voice of Akatsuki Records' Stack, who became my favorite Touhou vocalist after hooking me on Clownpiece's theme via the arrange WARNING×WARNING×WARNING.

I pledge my allegiance... to a land of total freedom.
And the world should know it plenty well.
We love to party, shout and yell.
The citizens will proudly call it Hell!
Oh... Say, can you see by my torch's crazy light?
Tell me, do the shapes and colors ring a bell?
For just today, I'm feeling swell.
I'll let ya have a whack at my new spell!
So you say you wanna, wanna piece of me?
I'll let everyone, everyone know my name!
Look out, I'm as ready, ready as can be.
Come and join in my lunatic game!
'Cause I wanna, wanna play with you!
Tell a joke that I'm making up on the fly.
Promise it's a funny, funny punchline, too --
I'll be makin' you laugh till you cry!
You pledge your allegiance... to whatever god you wanna.
But I'm pretty sure that mine's the best.
A cuttin' edge above the rest.
You don't believe me? Put it to the test!
My flag has been raised on the battlefield tonight!
Don't be underestimatin' fairy wars.
Go all out in this match of ours.
You'll earn your stripes, or wind up seein' stars!
Ain't it seemin' we've been at this for some while?
Y'know, maybe you, maybe you may be right.
You can keep on turnin' back the ol' moondial,
But the show will last only one night!
In this valley where the shadows fall,
You'll be swearin' you're rarin' to go insane.
Freedom will be ringin' in your head is all,
But you're gonna be feelin' no pain!
Take one small step...
And you can graze by the heat of the fire.
Now, can you feel it? Yep!
There's nothin' quite like the forces of nature for takin' you higher.
Yeah, take one big leap...
And you can stream past the waves like a breeze.
It isn't all that deep...
Unless you happen to trip, and you go for a dip in those traitorous, craterous seas.
Kyahahahaha~
Say, can you see by my torch's crazy light?
This is how it goes when someone goes my way.
My mission status: ALL OK.
My number one directive is to play!
Oh… Say, can you see that my chaos has arrived?
Showin' you the purest way to be impure.
What's that you're screamin'? I'm not sure!
Why, could it be you're beggin' for some more?
So you say you wanna, wanna piece of me?
I'll let everyone, everyone know my name!
Look out, I'm as ready, ready as can be.
Come and join in my lunatic game!
'Cause I wanna, wanna play with you!
Tell a joke that I'm making up on the fly.
Promise it's a funny, funny punchline, too --
I'll be makin' you laugh till you cry!
I'm so, so strong...
Just don't be boring and give up too soon!
You knew it all along...
The only choice that you had after all was to shoot for the moon!
Yeah, it's as they say…
The hero just doesn't know when to quit.
But by the break of day...
Another star will be born, and the crown will be worn by the head that's the biggest to fit.
Kyahahahaha~
