...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
@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.
I just noticed that "You May Know Dream" sounds an awful lot like "Yume no Dream" which would mean "Dream of Dreams"in Japanese. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but I just randomly noticed it lol
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.
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.
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.
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".
... 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
@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
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.
@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.
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.
@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
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.... ^__^
@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.
so those are how the prismriver sisters were made?

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.
