Katawa Shoujo OST - Musicbox

[Ramizman23]

@salvo711 people tried to make me cry for 7 years... 7YEARS IN A ROW i was just emotionally dead. But then when i played through lilly's story... I cried a 7 years of tears...

[Ramizman23]

@baronvonbloodlust i haven't cried in past 7 years,but this... I've cried like never did before

[Gruntlyfail]

The distance between his eyes unnerves me a little bit.

[Redblackk42]

@Gruntlyfail Fuck... I didn't notice that before, and now all I can look at are those fucking eyes.....

[XxLiqHermitXx]

Why can't I hold all these feels :'( .

[tomasbento]

Oh god, i have chills all over my body

[krillindestructo]

The best ending. For the best girl. The feels, man. The feels. :(

[TWSSDanny]

I don't want to lose Lilly. She doesn't want to lose me. God this is fucking perfect.

Lilly made me realize I should open my heart, and let people know how much they truly mean to me. Guys, don't go 'doing it for her', you'll never find a tall, classy blond girl with a 'healthy adolescent sex drive' (funniest part ever xD), feel empathy for the people around you, share the mutual feelings while they're there, and don't be afraid to become attached because sometimes it's not a bad thing at all.

[TalonRoxUrSox]

somebody hold me

[JaimeMello]

I rarely cry, but.. Just, this music in this route.. ;___; My god I never cried that much. NEVER. ;_____;

[TheDeadKid1]

I played all the other routes before this, loved them all, some more than others, just when i thought this game couldn't throw anything at me i hadn't seen them pull before, they do this scene. This is the only video game that has ever made me cry.

[TheDeadKid1]

This has to be one of the most well written games I've ever played.

[innocentgeek]

Makes me want to make my own music box with this theme. And another for Innocence. And another for Painful Memories. And for Aria de I'Etoile, and Three Stars, and Wiosna, and, and, and...! They would be the greatest music boxes in the world, and no one would complain at all if I charged the $500 dollars they would each be worth.

Of course, giving them away to make the world more beautiful would fix so many problems, I'm sure.

[Zharkos]

Hanako had best story. Lilly had the greatest fucking ending in the world.

[IAmSwordKirby]

WAHHAHHAH this is so saddening when you know what the story is behind the music box D: but its wonderful because this is the good ending. i got the bad ending. made me QQ :c

[Grymic]

They need to make another one as they finish Yamaku and go into college!

[purplefishman]

Okay. That ending was cliché. That whole "oh no, she's gone ! Wait, no she's not ! Hooray !" has been done a thousand times. It's as old as mankind.

THEN WHY DID I COLLAPSE IN TEARS WHEN I HEARD THIS MUSIC PLAYING !? DAMN YOU KS DEVS FOR MAKING ME REALIZE I HAVE A SOUL ! DAMN YOUUUUUUU !!!

[lilleborik]

All I wonder is what kind of maniac is capable of going through this game again after this.

[AnotherOneOfYou]

To get this ending, ask yourself this question:

"Can you see what I see?"

Also, follow one's kind heart.

Only then, this ending will be on your grasps.

Also, if you watched Pinocchio, you would know what I'm talking about.

[dracosummoner]

Lilly's route is my favorite of them all, but I honestly feel that hers should be saved for last, because it just feels so much more "epic" than any of the others, particularly in the way that it so effectively recalls the beginning of the game. Gorgeous girl, but more importantly, she was amazingly sweet.

[Hylian100]

I swear I'm not crying. It's just...it's raining, yeah. Raining. Indoors.

[mastahmongo]

hanako>lilly

deal with it.

[sushlet]

I'd like to replay this game 30 years later and collect some nostalgic feels.

[lizafreak]

Lilly is the best IMO, I found the other routes boring.

Her H scenes were so damn sexy holy shit.

[DaHaLoJeDi]

Ok, I will be the first to admit that I have a HEART OF STONE. But playing through this story.... 2 YEARS OF FEELS WERE RELEASED

[Nairdeya]

@DaHaLoJeDi WE ALL KNOW THAT FEEL BRO ):

[salvo711]

@DaHaLoJeDi

I don't think it's ridiculous to say that I have never before been so emotionally affected by a work of art. I have never cried at any of the funerals I've been to, even when I was very, very young. In fact, it's likely that I was more or less emotionally dead for the majority of my life before discovering this game. Twenty years of feels.

[chrnoc]

I got the bad ending on the first try T_T

Luckily it was due to one choice and near the ending too, was upset when it went through the same path as the bad one but then...

CONTINUED!!!

Best moment right there!!!

[AnotherOneOfYou]

;-; I cried as I got Lilly's Good Ending on my first blind playthrough... Not externally, but my internal self was crying.

I-I cannot show emotions externally because one day, I plan on becoming a Martial Arts master, but still, being Human is good once in a while...

[chuyaka]

Manly tears were shed in this, even though I prefer Hanako this was the best scene.

[consigliere94]

I haven't cried so hard because of a video game. Ever. Manly tears were definitely shed.

[TJGuitarVids]

That feel when this is like the no.1 feel music for people and it's also like the only non-original piece in the game...

[TheDjpwn3]

Best moment in any video game. EVER.

[leafbarrett]

I actually saw this prior to finishing Lilly's route, so I was slightly spoiled on how it would end if I got the (I presumed) good end. It didn't have any impact on the sheer quantity of tears I cried when I got the ending. You really can't tell if you got the good ending or not without prior knowledge, so I was scared I had managed to fuck it up. Cue happy tears when that music box started playing. I know it's been said to death by now, but these feels, man.

[Tobbywar]

This game makes me so depressed. After completing it, I just want to know more; but can't. I wish I never found this game, I'm hardly able to sleep at night, and it is giving me nausea just thinking about it(which I can't keep myself from not doing). Someone pass me the tissue box, please.

[SecretLugiaPt]

i loved this path it was definitely my favorite ... and the end was like a total mindfuck i was just about to load a new save when lily all of the sudden appears and i was like * well played four leaf studios well played indeed* then a fucking ninja started peeling onions next to me

people who hadn't played this rout yet will never get the felling of warmth and happiness this song brings to the ones that played it

[mementomori39]

Ah, it's raining.

[BaronVonBloodlust]

>"God damnit no. No no no no no. This couldn't have happened. Fuck, no. NO! I got the bad end, didn't I. Lilly, how could you do this to-"

>musicbox starts playing

>jaw drops open

>chills run down my spine

>ITS FUCKIN' LILLY

FLOODGATES OPENED, NOTHING HELD BACK, TEARS ALL OVER THE CARPET, HUGGING MY FUCKING MONITOR. GOD BLESS YOU 4LS

[BlackWraith328]

@BaronVonBloodlust Same with me

[Juruyan]

@BaronVonBloodlust You've read in my mind

[9MinamiKe6]

@BaronVonBloodlust niagara_falls.png

[chronoes15]

@BaronVonBloodlust Same here, i was thinking I have to go back and fix this somehow so I'll get a good ending but damn... I can't force myself to cry out but many tears ran down my cheeks that time.

[stephen3097]

@BaronVonBloodlust I don't know who's more crazy...Kenij Or you...

[thesomeone96]

@BaronVonBloodlust Same fucking reaction *brofist*

[LbeatsKira]

@BaronVonBloodlust fucking yup, all of my feels, yup!

[TWSSDanny]

@BaronVonBloodlust You said all the feels.

[taloscal]

@BaronVonBloodlust

Well said, i reacted the exact same way

[dylanthenoodle]

@BaronVonBloodlust I haven't cried in years, and then THIS happened. I feel you man.

[TheDjpwn3]

>lying in hospital bed

>wake up

>blinded by light again

>hear tinkling music

>huh? this sounds familiar...

>see music box

>how did that get ther-

>the answer to that question walks in the door

>a thousand tears were shed

[helliumsmith]

good thing shes blind, she won't see my tears

[tyvm12]

GET THE FEELS OFF OF ME.

[LiamRiordan]

I thought I was about to get a bad ending, and I felt really gutted for Hisao too. Then my ears picked up and I heard the music box and thought... Lilly?

[Gang3rs]

@LiamRiordan yeah i was thinking the same thing, when i saw the hospital i was all "oh god i messed up" and was just sad, it was then only after when i heard the box i realized.

[Cloud551]

Does anyone know what's written on the inside of the music box? I can only make out the first line, which reads "Love in a song".

[ArchTV]

[spoiler];_;[/spoiler]

[morpheoMancer]

*hears music box*

*tears come to eyes*

Victory...

[Armadan7]

Oh man, I thought I got the bad ending... then I hear this and nearly jump in my seat out of pure joy. I've literally NEVER felt that way about a story.

[wangmsater]

Cherkov's Gun, at its most heart-warming.

[Armadan7]

@wangmsater In-fucking-deed. I just learned that phrase from tropes just on this subject.

[Roflcopter147]

There are quite a few songs that can make you cry just by listening to them. Not many can make you cry tears of joy.

[Shaho0]

Lillybros unite! This is without question my favorite route.. everything was just so emotional... cant lie.. i cried at the end too, but out of happiness.

[iamzafkiel]

Lilly is the archetypical fairytale princess.

If you loved her above all other characters in the game, congratulations! A Gentleman on the rise!

Be one, and maybe you can find your lady out there, waiting for you.

[bioblitzer]

i wonder y his heart condition was so much worst in her story. i mean i get emi's route but damn u was just all kinds of fucked up in lilly's route....i wanted to see rin react to him having a heart attack dammit

[blueray222]

@bioblitzer Remember in Emi's route he was always getting exercise and keeping himself healthy which was helping him get gradually better. In Lilly's, he didn't have the same motivation to push himself to get better; he even forgot his medication a few times which wasn't exactly helping his heart.

[bioblitzer]

@blueray222 that doesnt explain rins, shizune or hanko's route. like i said, i get y hes healthly in emi's route but come on he even smokes in rins route >_>

[Omfgwasndasjetzt]

Strong men also cry... strong men also cry...

[gdhuertas07]

I'm not crying

It's just been raining on my face

And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks

Please, please, don't tell my mates

[krakeness]

Oh man. I finished the game and wasn't expecting to react to this. The moment I heard it, my eyes teared up and I couldn't hold back a huge smile. Katawa Shoujo GOTYAY.

[TheEye114]

Why does this game make me feel so... Strange? It's like I want more. More story, more development. More... Feels.

[AnvilMAn603]

i remember this moment when i did lily's route, i thought i got the bad end when he was collapsing. i was getting fairly pissed at how things turned out/getting the bad end when the music box kicks in...took me a few seconds to put 2 and 2 together...after the realization sets in i jumped up and bellowed YES YES DAMN IT YES. cant think of any other VN that made me react that way.

[LCPGAY]

/watch?v=iCdQW3d8wdg Bach - Cello Suite No.4 iv-Sarabande

For those that are interested.

[Girlikesmuffins00001]

It's raining in my house.

yeah. that's it.

[GodSince1994]

@Girlikesmuffins00001 Funny, it's also raining in mine

[xXbutters1234]

>simple ost video

>devolved into "im a gurrrrllllll gamurrr :33333 ;)))))))"

You know.. if I had a cigarette I'd look really cool right now.

[turtlemunky]

Why can't I hold all these feels?

[DracoraiEzekiel]

I think I'm not alone when I say that even though the ending was a tad predictable, it was done in such a way that I was never sure whether or not it would be a happy ending. I felt genuine surprise and happiness when I saw and heard the music box. Classy writing, classy ending, classy girl.

[ohms83]

@DracoraiEzekiel Same here, I think everyone (including me) know from the beginning that this music box must have significant role later on. But at the time it appears, my mind is just so full of confusions that I entirely forgotten about its existence. I repeatedly asking myself.. is this the bad end or the actual ending of Lily arc? Nah, it cannot be like this she should hear Hisao, right? And then this song start playing.. my heart skip a beat, literally.

[Deodinges]

Honestly, i'd marry a girl like Lilly if i ever met one.

[Talis29]

@Deodinges You, me, and just about anyone else. :)

[TheLateNightGamer]

(Me when she left) "Run for her! Run for her!! NOO!!! Get up!! Get u---f*ck...so depressing...so...SHE CAME BACK!!! WOOO!!!!"

[partycakeboy92]

@TheLateNightGamer Waaaaaait girls like VN's?

[eviljoel]

@partycakeboy92 Newsflash: it's not that unusual for females to enjoy romantic fiction.

[partycakeboy92]

@eviljoel I know but most of the time there are some e-scenes in it

[eviljoel]

@partycakeboy92 Many females enjoy sex, too. Related trivia: all erotic scenes in KS except Lilly's were drawn by women.

[Interboredom]

@eviljoel

Related Trivia: Lilly had the best sex scenes.

[eviljoel]

@Interboredom I haven't played Shizune and Emi yet, but from what I've seen this far I'd have to agree. Raide did a good job on it. While I loved Rin's route, the sudden sketchiness and drop in detail in the "adult" pictures compared to the rest of the route gave me the impression that Kamifish was reluctant do draw them. Then again, if you're still playing the game for fapping material when you've reached that point, you probably don't have emotions.

[Interboredom]

@eviljoel

I liked Hanako's route, although not much happened, I can enjoy the fact that I will always have crispiness in life.

With Emi's route, it ended almost completely anti-climatically.

I've yet to try Shizune.

[eviljoel]

@Interboredom Further related trivia: according to Aura (the guy who wrote Rin's route) all the girls except Shizune were originally described as having pubic hair in the script. However, for some unspecified reason none of the female artists wanted to draw it, so it was changed.

[MrRinTezuka]

@Interboredom Indeed



[TheLateNightGamer]

@partycakeboy92 I wouldn't know, I'm not a girl :(

[AlexiaCarcera]

@TheLateNightGamer I am~

[ShadowPhazonv2]

I was crying towards the ending of this story, mainly starting when Lilly says she's moving and that's it. After that the remainder of the game I was bawwing. I wanted to see the ending though. Played on as I was crying. Then this scene. Fuck. Any tears I was holding back let lose immediately as I heard the music box. This kind of music usually makes me cry in most situations though. It just has that ambiance...innocence...it all hit at the perfect moment.

I wish Lilly was real...

[BlackWraith328]

@ShadowPhazonv2 we all do buddy

[S4phyr]

@ShadowPhazonv2 I cried at Hanako's part.. i wish she was real :(

[BDbiogamer]

@ShadowPhazonv2 That might be a problem. There's one of her and several thousand of us.

[IRL337Gamer]

:(

[Nivrinify]

Lily's story is cliched. But it's good.

Manly feels.

[eviljoel]

@Nivrinify Lilly's story is supposed to be cliched, and so is Lilly herself. That was one of the few details left by RAITA that the developers had to go by.

[TheLostSabre]

It doesn't matter if the plot or character is cliche. It's the execution of it is what matters the most. :]

[9MinamiKe6]

holy shit that scene in the hospital T_T

[RaidZeroh]

Starting to regret playing a good portion of this game with the music off. ;_;

[9MinamiKe6]

@RaidZeroh Why did you? ;_;

[RaidZeroh]

@9MinamiKe6 Don't get me wrong--I love the music in this game. I just wanted to listen to some of my own music, which was pretty ambient and fitting (so it's not like it completely ruined the mood of the story). But now I think that this scene would've been so much better and touched me more had I noticed the music box was playing in the background all along.

[9MinamiKe6]

@RaidZeroh Oh, I get you bro. But man, that scene. This game really got me good. Every time I think about Lilly my heart starts beating, and I feel warm from the inside. When I'm at home I actually cry when I think about her, because of happiness. Doing Emi's now. Just got into act 2

[FlashJordan94]

@9MinamiKe6 Emi's story is REALLY good. I'm on act 2 of Lily's right now.

[9MinamiKe6]

@FlashJordan94 I just got into act 3 of Emi's, and it really is good. I cried the Niagara Falls at Lilly's sometimes, even at her sex scene thingies. I'm really curious what happens in Emi's route further on, it's been a while since I played it.

[FlashJordan94]

@9MinamiKe6 Theres two ways to get the good ending with Emi, which I have both but I can't bring myself to go with the bad ending. Shizune's bad one was sad enough. I never thought I could like characters this much in a game, lol.

[turtlemunky]

I love you Lilly

[ralegar5]

just try to imagine how lilly felt when hisao gave it to her, in her bedroom, so romantic and thoughtful, its beautiful.

[TheP3NDU1UM]

FUCK YOU, I JUST HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE LEAVE ME ALONE

[Masterblaster9001]

@TheP3NDU1UM

It's raining.

[DoddyUK]

@Masterblaster9001 It isn't rain-

[gb389]

@DoddyUK No, it's raining.

[MsAnimefan95]

@gb389

A+ reference.

[ISesseriI]

CAN YOU FACE YOUR FEELS?

[techk8]

Oh God, my heart.

[Behemotho]

"We're just two children pretending to be adults, aren't we ?"

; 3;

[Waterlemonish]

That feel when it took you ten seconds to realize why the music is playing.

[eviljoel]

@Waterlemonish I actually put it together after five. And then I started bouncing up and down uncontrollably. Damn this game for making us feel all these feels.

[Quadrolithium]

@Waterlemonish what started as a goodbye gift turned out to be the ending plot mover after all...

[GodSince1994]

@Waterlemonish Oh man, don't bring it up... I sat in my chair with my blanket at night, with my heart beating, when suddenly, you recognize the melody and you see Lilly, standing there... I shed more tears to that single scene than to Titanic altogether.

[copygulzinfringement]

@Waterlemonish that feel when the music box starts playing and you instantly start crying like a little girl.

[sparxedge]

I JUST CAN'T HANDLE THESE FEELS MAN, THERE'S JUST TOO MANY

[JustAnotherPest]

Oh cripes. That song. That ending. That feel.
