Man, I love Madotsuki. I feel connected to her unlike any other characters in video games. This music is nice to listen to when I'm feeling like a complete shut in, and just want to sleep.
i've never played yume nikki and i only got into the fanbase recently, but for some reason this song makes me feel nostalgic update: i played it and dang, what an experience. its amazing how a game with no story, dialogue, or main purpose at all, can be so incredibly powerful. goodnight, madotsuki
I'm amazed at how old this game is, I'm just 15 but I was able to enjoy this game and it is very special for me, I hope more people get to play it with the years...
Despite only recently experiencing this game, this song feels quite nostalgic... It almost feels.... Personal.... God, what a great piece of art this game is......
Here's the full lore behind the game, and it's actually confirmed: She's not conscious, she's still in her mother's womb, both of them are sharing the same dreams and that's why the mother could be seen in the manga saying "I've promised to give birth, and when I do...I'll finally hear your cries, your voice for the first time..and say good morning" Because the mother already met her baby (which is Madotsuki) but only in her dreams without even hearing her voice, and that's why Madotsuki can't get out of her room, She Only will get out when her mother gives birth, which means Madotsuki's apartment represensts her mother's belly. Also the video game (the red console) that could be played next to the tv, represents the baby eating his mom's left overs. That's why a red creature looking exactly like a new born could be seen eating certain stuff falling from above. And btw the mom wasn't assaulted at all she was just lustful, and all that was confirmed in the manga. Madotsuki didn't die at all, she's just unborn. And that's why tons of reproductive organs are seen throughout the game, It's the only piece of reality that Madotsuki could see. Also, Madotsuki's eyes in the game are shut, because her mother is still in early pregnancy, the unborn child had already experienced depression without even opening their Eyes throughout it's mother's dreams and memories. And btw, yall guessed it right..the Mom's name is Poniko, she's the girl with the blonde appearance. That we'll eventually meet half way through the story. That's basically the story, Madotsuki didn't die or anything like that, she's just waiting for her birth, and while doing so, she's reliving memories...
Being confirmed in the manga doesnt necessarily mean that it is canon to the game's lore (Remember that the official manga was made by other authors, although supervised by kikiyama). That's why it's somewhere in the grey area whatever if we can correlate what's happening in the manga with the game at all. Some fans (including me) think that we can only make theories or conclusions on what's being shown in only the game, because this was the only official and canon media made by kikiyama himself regarding Madotsuki's history. Just my two cents tho, not saying that the theory of the womb couldn't be indeed real.
@@cristiankusmodi1638 I honestly agree, the thing is, we'll never get to know for sure since kikiyama himself probably moved on but the closest we could get to the truth is by making theories for the most part.
@@indigowendigo8165i never heard of it before either, but honestly it’s interesting food for thought, i kind of like it. It’s a bizarre and whimsical lil’ “official” interpretation in a sea of far more unflattering and sometimes slightly distasteful ones.
Almost 20 years…. God so much has changed, and yet each year i love both yume nikki and the countless things its inspired more and more each and every year… I really do wish every one drifting back to here the absolute best.
I just played some game with sounds and the sound pattern was almost exactly this one. I couldn't help but play this and listen to this for a moment... this melody is ao serene and jist so calm to listen to... and tho it loops, you almost don't feel it.
I kinda feel like this would have made a better end theme though. Imagine, this plays as some jellyfish things dance around Matsudoki's bloodied corpse. Nothing against the actual end theme, but wouldn't that be better?
This music is just so comfortable, yet melancholic at the same time. I play this game from time to time, it's not exactly a FUN experience, but it is a good one, a relatable one.
Unforgettable Your image like a photograph ingrained Your eyes, like a novel I want to read A forest of questions to explore What lurks beneath them, shall perhaps remain mystery Like little beams of light they dart around Like raindrops unsure where to fall It was by chance that you would look at me A raindrop would land and startle me Like a summer storm I fell To run out, jump into the open air To swim to an island ashore To share a dance with you It was a vivid dream, then It was but a dream I looked away But did not forget Your smile, A childish grin So subtle, and foolish, and carefully sly I’m watching like a quiet lake, so still My reflection of you, is fading ever so Into little ripples of the lake I looked away But did not forget Your voice, When I heard it first It wasn’t vast like the ocean Nor was it like the sky or clouds Not like the sun, or the trees, or their roots below Not like thunder or lightning, not even rain But rather, like a treasure hidden in the sand Its rhyme, its rhythm, lost in my brain Still I remember when it called my name Each grain would fall Slipping through my fingers, before my eyes I longed to hold it my hands But I looked away Still I did not forget Your laugh, It was like the rain at night It pitter-pattered, rumbled and echoed as it fell I watched and listened through a window, a sheet of glass A barrier, a wall, I dare not cross Like a child and its bedtime story, I was drawn to the sound of it And never would I have enough But I looked away And still, I did not forget Your hands, They were distant planets foreign to me I watched them, through but a telescope, wistfully If only I could reach out, if so I was willing To somehow venture through the void But the void, it grew only more as time and space led on And soon, I knew, you would be gone So I looked away But could not forget Your shoulders, Not bulky, not broad, not epic, nor monumental Nor lean to be exact But strong, and lightly tan Like an architect’s design Like a smooth clay figurine I glanced upon your physique, your frame But only for a moment, a secret glimpse Then I looked away But did not forget Your hair, Sometimes hidden beneath your hood Sometimes messy and unkempt, disorderly and disheveled Always fell perfectly around your eyes Framed you, beautifully, charmingly Like a work of art, calling out on display, That stood out from all the rest I loved all your colors and depth And when I looked away I did not forget Your kindness, It wasn’t anything extraordinary or strange Nor was it the least fake or false It was quiet, sweet Like hot chocolate, filled with a rising, gentle steam It came when least expected, Like a tiny flower, perhaps a wild one, that grew between the cracks It was cautious, almost awkward, but it was lovely And like a flower myself I bloomed, like a star I beamed My heartbeat quickened, rushed by butterflies My mind raced with thoughts and jumbled with words And all I said was the very least, though I longed to say much more Perhaps, again, it wasn’t much you did But with it, you stole my heart You were the only one And all I did was look away Though, never forget You were at last, a beautiful sunset, so surreal An experience to have again and again, new to me everytime Underneath it all, I longed for your ray of warmth and security I could never step into the light, no matter how I tried I was glued to silence, held down by gravity And like that, Gone all too soon, Your glow fell beneath the earth, Your colors faded into the sea, But still, an image I can recall You were unforgettable.
