9/10 i like this (This was requested by Riolucario, the author of this map and the composer of this music himself!) Filename: Rio_Piano2 Note: This music is played 40% slower than normal.
There's something so desolate yet beautiful about Urotsuki traveling so far to see two isolated performers all the way out here. She's the only one who showed up. Nobody else is here. Do they need her? Or does she need them?
Every time I want to reach tomb of valleities, I see this event. It seems like there's no one left in the world to watch their act and the dancers are just waiting to be forgotten, but then YOU appear and change that horrific destiny, at least for a little while. They are happy to perform once again, and they do the best they can to entertain you, but they're sad at the same time, fearing that this is gonna be the last time they will perform for someone ever again. It's so bittersweet.
this song makes me feel like this is my last day alive. i'm remembering everything i've done in the past. i feel this nostalgic feeling. but at the same time i feel this dreadful feeling, like i'm about to die. i wanna say goodbye to my family, just in case this gut feeling is right, but if it's not, i don't want to scare my family.
this reminds me of this one steampunk ya novel i read when i was little, and i remember a scene where the main character found her brother, but his heart had been replaced with clockwork and he was stuck performing for the mayor of the town or something. i don't remember the title but hopefully someone out there remembers
It's really interesting to me that your first trip to the forgotten megalopolis (and thus the tomb) will almost certainly go through here, and that this is a mandatory event to view in order to gain access. You can't even get past the room without looking at this first. It feels like a warning of some sort, or maybe a disclaimer that what you're about to see and experience comes from the heart, and is in some way an act of it. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much. Either way this makes me feel deeply.
Currently in a dark and maddening period of my life. This song brings me bittersweet memories, it helps me get thru days like these. I really relate to Yume Nikki since I suffer night terrors since I was a kid. The "dreamscapes" convey pretty much the abstract nature of my nightmares.
This song and Antiquated Resthouse help me sleep at night. It's always hard, always need to distract myself from thoughts, and this one helps me just fine with that it's yume 2kki soundtrack's feature to be made of short loops. I was always impressed with how much these short loops are relistenable for a long time and this loop in particular feels heavy, almost like a weight in my chest. almost makes me cry. this is just the thing to get comfort from, even if it feels like desolation from the outside world sometimes
Attempt at a lyricisation (?) of this awesome track, because I'm mentally ill. Through the dim spotlight's glow, together, yet alone, Going in circles, yet never finding a stop, Chasing still after your saddened and lonely Soul, Following footprints we left centuries ago. Just like the Sun (Moon) and the Moon (Sun) and dance around the Earth, We are forever attracted by distant warmth. Knowing, our eyes blind, and hearing, our bodies numb, Still pushing through after rust overtook it all. Love of mine, can you hear distant and lonely hums, Grinding of gears, sorrowed cries of a precious heart, That you and I once created, just for this act? Stop, if you hear me, for you I'm still reaching out. We have completed our circle, I beg you, halt, You are so near, but our dance yet again must start. Through the dim's spotlight's glow, together, yet alone... (And the loop begins anew, and will continue, until the performance ends.)
Wow, this is beautiful!! You really captured the feelings of this event and song. I love the similes/description you used, it reminds me a little of Renaissance poetry with the astrological imagery. :)
Every now and again when my college classes get too much, I end up coming here and using the song as background music. It's somber, but in an odd way it helps me finish my stuff. I'm thankful for this existing.
I'm gonna be real blunt here, for the longest time I HATED 2kki, I can't emphatize enough how much I used to dislike this game when I first played it, I only softened to it very recently with the online version and thanks to that I found this guy's maps (and I'm glad I did) And honestly this event hits hard, even if it's an extremely basic cutscene of two npcs following a simple movement pattern without many fancy details, as someone who used to be a performer (nothing big, I just played percussion in a local music academy :P) when I was in the stage it felt like it was only me, the rest of my group and the few people in the audience I cared about, be them my parents, friends or whatever, the lone theater reminds me of that feeling of "Idc if only that one person looks at my direction, as long as I can brighten the day of someone I care about I'm doing well" On the other hand one of my biggest interests has always been urban exploring, even though I can't do it a lot 'cause I'm scared I'll get in legal trouble (lol), I always liked the feeling of seeing life finding a way and thriving in places that were abandoned by people, and from Urotsuki's perspective this event evokes that same feeling to me, it's a feeling that, in a way, nothing gets truly left behind It's just neat how this event managed to capture the feelings I have towards two entirely different things so perfectly
They're not too sharp its just a piano pitched down. The notes are the Bb > F > Gb right above middle c on a keyboard, slowed down to 85 bpm from about 145 originally
