  • so those are how the prismriver sisters were made?

  • 1:45 to 2:00 are my favorite parts in the song

  • oh... now i get it! thanks RoyalEmma3CP

  • Layla was the singer D:

    The Prismriver sisters are a band without a singer

    That's so sad D:

  • Aww, I love Touhou back stories. This video brings a tear to my eye every time.

  • ...

    ...I think this may have been the first Touhou related thing I ever saw. My friends showed me a bunch of PVs, but I think this was among the very first ones. I think it was even the first.

    I'm happy right now because I finally know what's going on :D

  • this video is both saddening and heartwarming if you know the back story of the Prismriver sisters...

  • Even my friend who doesn't know touhou found this endearing and sad.

  • This song is in English! I'm just so used to Touhou video's being in Japanese! O.o

  • @Chocolatewitchbunny

  • @hsbinh1412 Meh, it's close enough.

  • WHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!??

    BAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!???

    。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

  • Why you guys sad? Layla is now in the netherworld and the prismriver sisters are playing there :D

  • @MaronaPossessed Layla isn't in the netherworld. Yuyuko guides people who are staying in the netherworld and passing by her house to go to the afterlife peacefully.

  • レイラ・・・

  • ......*sniff*...too...SAD!!*cr­ys*

  • BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • T^T must. .. . not. . .*starts to cry*

  • This video is really sad...

  • So pretty much this is a video on hoe the Prismriver Sisters came to be?

  • @MST545 yeah

  • goddammit, i cry everytime i watch this

  • 知り合いにすすめられたが、

    普通に良い曲

    

  • everything about primsrivers sister is awesome xD

  • How did she get youg again?!

  • @leopold621 She got young because she died, so she went to Hakugyokurou.

  • @siladel But she were old when she died so...?

  • @leopold621 I dont know, people are usually shown young when they show their "dead forms". xD

  • Wow, there's no much info about Layla, so it's still a bit confusing for me

  • Comment removed

  • I have a love hate relationship with this song. I absolutely love it on one hand, but on the other hand the English is so garbled its almost insulting. Pain and pleasure.

  • It's good to see Layla getting some <3, but i ain't gonna lie, i bawww'd a little...

    But the song is awesome.. over the rainbow SAUCE~

  • かわえぇw

  • so.. if you die. you can get picked to go to gensokyo?? O.O

  • @mykart95 goo thing i am dieing right now

  • @mykart95 so nanoka? (grabs a knife)

  • its Touhou on LSD

  • I thought layla have 3 sisters. anyway good story depicting layla's life and her 3 cute little prismriver poltergiest.

  • This reminds me of my Grandma :(

  • I didnt noticed at first, but at 0:04 you see her sisters leaving.

    This is so sad :'(

  • I cried...

  • 1:10 - Over the rainbow sucks?

  • @MrBlue9020 I heard "Over the rainbow suns"

  • OVER THE RAINBOW SAUCEEEEEE! :D

  • From what I understand in Touhou Wiki, that Prismriver family wants to move, but Layla, the 4th daughter of Prismriver dont wanna to, cuz that mansion have many memories of her with her 3 older sisters. In Layla's full power, she can create poltergeists. So, she somehow created 3 poltergeist, who looks similarly like those 3 older sisters of hers, which is Lunasa, Merlin and Lyrica. And they had so much fun with Layla, until she died.

    Sad story.. 

  • I think everyone is missing the point that the 3 other Prismrivers died way before Layla did...

  • Mortality has a bitter-sweet beauty. A richness that fills every moment, as if it were your last. Such true beauty could never brave the test of time, for time is what makes it grow.

  • aw the the girl [layla] treat them as her kids , layla is the 4th  sister of the primister sisters , it's so sad she died

  • Yuyu makes everything better ;^;

  • @PrismriverLayla She really does. <3

    ...Unless you're Mystia.

  • Aww... that's so cute and sad at the same time T^T

  • Is...is this the actual story? I hope so because this so nice... but so sad ;A;

  • Comment removed

  • why am i crying?

  • She really loved her sisters that much...if only her sisters knew this..poor layla :(

  • Comment removed

  • The reason why there are three people in the beginning that look like the poltergeists is because after their, and the green haired girl, father died, they all wen their separate ways. Because of the memories, Layla stays at the house. She has the ability to conjure poltergeists, so she creates 3 in the images of her sisters, who she misses. After Layla dies, the poltergeists still play music to this day in what is now known as "Poltergeist Mansion".

  • That was so memorable for me...

    ... It was sad, seeing her sisters part, but Layla learned magic to recreate her sisters and she knew they would out-live her indefinitely as time passed.

  • well its not that said when you think a about it, i mean the prismriver sisters live right next to the netherworld, so if they want to vist layla they just need to fly over the door

  • 1:31 I never noticed chen in ran's arms

  • But it's Touhou. Very nice and original.

  • As if I have to ask, but... who's more popular, Mima or Layla?

  • @SonividSulegnaEkez

    Pretty sure more ppl know mima more than layla.

  • @SonividSulegnaEkez well guessing how many comments on touhouh videos say "BING MIM4 BAK" layla the least popular one, i would be suprised that at least 10 people like layla, who cares about mima they need layla back as a ghost boss

  • @heart4element ohh but I love Mima...but I never said "bing mim4 bak"...or bring mima back...I love layla too...stop looking at me

  • @SonividSulegnaEkez : I have to say Mima. After all she was in one of the games.

  • Ah yes Layla ~

    She is a sweet , innocent girl ~

    The forgotten sister..~

  • and then PCB starts : > lol jk.

    i love this though i cannot stop listening to it D8

  • Poor Youmu has to clean all that =.=....

  • wow, story with touhou...wow

  • If this were canon, it would make the Prismrivers' connection to Yuyuko as frequent performers a whole lot more understandable. On the other hand, it would beg the question of why they don't just choose to live in the netherworld with their sister; I mean, they are already ghosts, after all.

    Bah, what am I saying? "You can't let yourself be trapped by common sense in Gensokyo, right?"

  • @SpootyBiscuit Maybe... But the Prismriver sisters aren't necessarily 'ghosts' of people who died, but rather figments of Layla's imagination (for the lack of a better term), so I don't quite think they'd be able to enter the next life with her.

    xD;; But that's just a thought.

  • @SoundFive But they DO. The Prismriver Sister are canonically the regular entertainment at any parties Yuyuko has.

  • @SpootyBiscuit Ah, really? Bugger. I always thought that Hakugyokurou was at like... The border between the mortal world and the actual spirit realm, so it was accessible to everyone, both dead and alive. My bad.

  • Her name is Layla=Prismriver.She is creator of Prismriver sisters we know well.

    Her family, which was wealthy but then collapsed and separated, had four daughters and she was the youngest.

    She created poltergeists imitated with her sisters (just imitation) with oriental magic item and entered Gensokyo together with her house.

    She lived out her life. And poltergeists didn't disappear.

    Then they determined to behave like a poltergeists and began instrument.

    The above is OFFICIAL setting.

  • who is the girl with green hair?? Yuka???

  • Now that i think about it...i wonder what happened to the real primsriver sisters.

  • Hope you like stairs.

  • Layla ressurected her sisters and died happily, i believe in it. ^^

  • Gotta love A~YA and her english.

  • Cute > Sad

    wahhhhhhhh

  • You may know Dream

    Yume no Dream

    Coincidence or clever play on words?

  • This is just a crazy guess, but to me it seems the 3 girls in the beginning of the vid are the prism river sisters. Looks like they are going away to live successful lives (successful but unhappy ones), possibly as musicians, and the glass breaking at 0:16 kinda symbolizes their death. Then they comeback as ghosts and are reunited with Layla. To this day they preform weekly at Hakugyokuro with Layla Prismriver :D

  • @SakuyaHasPad close. they dont come back, they are just recreations based on how layla knew them when they were alive. layla was orphaned, and thats how she managed to cope. thats the canon story anyway, this video seems to imply yukari had a hand in it somehow, probably guided the whole process.

  • @Rampartwo It's more "we must include yukari where it is even remotely plausible that she can be there"

  • Does Yuyuko guide ghost towards heaven?

  • @dundeecake i think when people die over there they go to pure lands instead cuz that were yuyu lives and heaven for people like iku who were enlighten O.O heven more a a tropical vacation place rather then a resting place there O.O so it either pure land or hell which im sure satori and a crew and do :D and the angle of death :D

  • YUYUKO ATE HER OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­G

  • Anyone knows if you can get the actual song of this video? If so, what album?

  • @KitsuneSefam

    I'm guessing the song would be "You may know "Dream" " just like the PV is, as for the album, I sadly can't help with that; apologies.

  • Lol. It'd be epic if ZUN released her in a game.

  • Comment removed

  • When cherry petals were falling at 3:40 I knew that Yuyuko would show up :D

    It's a beautiful video but kinda sad~

  • I know it's a huge lolduh moment , but I just realized the song was Ghostly Band - Phantom Ensemble, haha.

  • and here I thought I'll hate this because of the art style... but I guess I was proven wrong... this is just awesome... XD song and vid is just awesome.... ^__^

  • @GenesicShinZyraelKai I shared your thoughts, actually. But it was just so adorable that I couldn't hate it. xD

  • And of course Merlin plays the trumpet only to have it come out sounding like an alto sax.

  • @UncleShoveit During the chorus parts it's distinctively a trumpet. They put the saxophone bits in randomly, but that doesn't mean it's Merlin's. There's also a percussion in the background that obviously can't be from any of the three.

  • @PlayingWithMahWii I was talking about her solo at the end where it's plain and clear an alto sax sound was coming out of her trumpet.

  • @UncleShoveit Oh yes, that part. That is really weird.

  • @PlayingWithMahWii Not really. It's Merlin.

  • You know, I felt pretty sad until the end of video, my thoughts turned straight into: Man I'd hate to die in Gensokyo, *ahem* I hate stairs...

  • @Sparkhandler

    She died in the real world, she just went to Gensokyo when she died.

  • @MaroonBlue64 Awwww man, does that mean I STILL gotta climb all those stairs when I die?

  • @Sparkhandler Statistic show that you are 5 times as likely to die in a car accident than in Gensokyo...

  • @Sparkhandler

    You could always let Orin carry you off instead, unless you hate being gently roasted by nuclear fire more.

  • Merlin's 2ch faces are hilarious LOL

  • Holy crap! A video where Yuyuko isn't acting like a ravenous vacuum.

  • ;_; sooo sad...

  • 感動した!!

  • Comment removed

  • I like the short people animation it also tells a nice story on layla and hher creations.

  • The art and animations are...strange. :x And I always kinda pictured Layla with long light brown/silverish hair...

  • The ending is pretty sad when they're dancing alone ;_;

  • @hado123

    But Yuyuko is here for collect her, so it's good isn't it?

    (i'm french so if my english is not good, sorry -.-")

  • @jumamei

    wait yuyuko doesn't collect souls. orin and komachi does.

  • @maosama013 i thought they decide who goes to hell or heaven o-o

  • @TheMoonBunnys

    no that's shikieiki yamaxanadu's job.

  • @maosama013 oooohhh

  • this is so adorable~ The engrish hurts, and it's kind of weird how lyrica is wearing pants, but otherwise it's really cute.

  • WHYYYYYYYY DAMNIT!!!

    Bravo Bravo!!!

  • Baaaaaaaw~ ;_;

  • Aww..... so cute.... T_T

  • Oooh~ Layla finally gets some love <:

  • @ChinaD0111

    Now if she could just get a decent chunk'a fanart... or, hell, I'd kill for a Prismriver origins manga (doujin or official).
