IOSYS: Alice → Sweet [English Subtitles]

[BORINGGULL]

kawaii

[RemixerAbsol]

2:26 ... is a word misspelled?

[OEGSProductions]

@RemixerAbsol Rhythm is not spelled that way.

Nice catch.

[UberGamer1030]

This has got to be my favorite theme. 

[WitchNiaMoon]

i was playing a sim dating game and started thinking of this song

[Endymion766]

how'd they get 6 yr old girls to sing this well?

[Nazuiko]

For comment sake, Marisa would never actually die. It's what Alice fears greatly, naturally. But, the series greatly hints that Marisa's magick will become so great that she'll develop her own unique immortality and become a Youkai, just as Reimu's faith powers will continue to grow as her deeds pile up and the Touhou Fandom increases/decreases (both means would actually achieve the same end), and Reimu Hakurei will become a full fledged god.

[anihilator100]

@Nazuiko her PCB profile says she was trying to make immortality potion, so...

[Shyreenify]

Why do the japanese love the name "alice" so much? It's in like every anime or game (like Touhou). Can someone explain?

[Nazuiko]

@Shyreenify Alice in Wonderland is a very popular reference in both Western and Eastern literature. It speaks very much of the Western world, simply because she's a little girl who embodies the Anglo-saxon culture in a perverted, macabre way. It's also just a DAMN good story with a lot of unclosed holes, so the character can be adapted easily.

Look at all the English references to it, there are just as many

[BLoodyALiceXseriX]

so cute and innoncent :#

[kiriethecalamity]

..no, Marisa really does die in the end in the music video.

[nanichan123]

So catchy :3

[Naglfar52]

Love the song. Critical subtitle errors are bugging me, though.

[therealsnow]

the kawai factor is off the charts! lol

[jhonjangle1]

its such a sad song what with Marrissa dieing and all

[Crzynoob]

@jhonjangle1 Wait, Marisa dies? OH NO!!! The future of touhou!!!!!

[pixiefairy10]

@jhonjangle1 Marisa doesn't die, that's just how the video portrayed it. the last line is "And the one who cries last will be me" which may mean that Alice gets her heart broken.

[blastrebel]

@pixiefairy10 I think Marisa does die in the end, this is most likely due to old age since Alice is immortal. The reason Alice hesitates so much at first is because she knows this and she doesn't want to continue living after the one she loves dies.

[feelingzwontfade]

watashi wo marugoto dere ni shite!~Make me 100% sweet

My favorite part <3.

[MarieAngel95]

Il download this song and make it in my vid that is coming out today! pls check it out, when it comes xd

[theDrakDraculina]

Where can I find this anime?? And what's it about?

[STangoFox]

@theDrakDraculina

As far as I know..... there's only one episode as an anime (fan made hahaha)

This is based off a game series!!

That is all I know. This music is damn catchy though!!

[DemonedAway]

@theDrakDraculina This is actually a series of games called Touhou Project. There's a fanmade anime but still in the process of making, there's only one episode out at the moment.

[megabenlinksonicman]

Thank you, remix of Alice's theme, for teaching me how to say "I love you" in Japanese.

[gamemastersdred21]

@megabenlinksonicman

daisuki actually means "i like you a lot"

but b/c they dont actually say "i love you" in japan they use daisuki

[megabenlinksonicman]

@gamemastersdred21 Huh, okay. Guess I'll take your word for it (thanks).

[loegdberg]

@gamemastersdred21 I know it's an old comment, but... Daisuki can be used when you're talking about something/someone you like a lot/love, and they DO say "I love you" in Japan. it's "aishiteru" or 愛してる.

[DanielBarusoPerez]

Alice, everyone here in THIS world know that the feeling your having matches the word we have in english: "Love"

[SUlSEISEKI]

*pop*

[GabePuratekuta]

Yaaay I love this song! ^^

[JoannaAnimeLover]

i like this song <3 alice tsundere :3

some parts remind me of trick or treat by len&rin thou o.o

[Thyrand99]

Is so cute Alice D:

[hollyulah]

I'm slightly confused; can anyone tell me the relationship between Alice and Marisa? Are they friends? Also, there is a PV where Marisa is trying to break into the Scarlet Mansion to take Patchouli out of her study. Halp? Thankyou!:)

[InaccurateWeatherman]

Marisa is just sort of the pimp of Gensokyo. so there are fan pairings between her and EVERYBODY. People mostly choose the Alice pairing because they've been partners in a couple different games and have some funny conversations (Imperishable Night and Subterranean Animism).

[x0kamix]

"daikirai"

"daikirai"

"daisuki"

Waaaaargh! so cute!

IOSYS→Great

[creampuffstolemyname]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[Kouran94]

please, tell me!! is this an anime?

i've heard another IOSYS songs and i don't know what it is!!

[ProofOfRemi]

It's a game

[Kouran94]

thank you for your friendly and patient answer, =D

I do not know what would be of the world without rims as you! :)

[Kouran94]

if you don't want to answer, don't. But it isn't necessary to insult me or to be rude. I haven't done anything wrong!! >:(

[mellowsky47]

Lovely and sad at the same time.

[Javeton]

O: pop! :P

[sindaccobutcher]

=,( beatiful

[11gernez]

IOSYS is some of the most awsome thigs in the world!

[11gernez]

this song is really cute! kawiiiii!!!

Its also very catchy... makes you want to listen to it over and over!

[Cambesa]

pua pua :'D too cute

[JonRavenfield]

lulz @ Xfire pop :D

[The1stguy1]

Ah~n Ah~n

[luketorpedo]

Shame there isn't one of that flash with subtitles, as the lyrics really do work with it.

[Owl1222]

are you talking about the flash for this song? because MarisaHanamura has one : watch?v=kLUvv5UPclk

[mew432]

I always wondered about the "A life sized version of me?" thing. D:

[iceonimusha]

Tsundere still has a lot of traits of bipolar, however.

[Bronzecop]

on top jackass

[joyouskagome]

-__- i was talking about a website. way to help.

[CodeValkyRie]

a while ago, I saw a cute little cartoon with this song. can someone give me the link to it? I cant find it. :(

[xBigJuliex]

Just Search 'Alice Dere' (On YT of Course)

Hope that's it :o

that is its Kanji name or something like that.

(I'm not Japanese I'm simply guessing)

[Aspharatos]

Nevermind, the sound just seems to die out once you press the HQ button.

[redflame2000]

Why does Alice keep taking them "dreaming" pills from eirin???

[Sercan1995]

she wants to dream about marisa

[Membrane556]

It probably a very bad idea to get hooked on Eirin's weird drugs.

[droolblanket]

Oh I just wish there are subs from 3:03 to 3:33....

[ILOVETODANCELOL]

pop

[governmentproj13]

Actually, I like the ending. I love bittersweet songs, and this is perfect for Alice. kawaii! ^_^

[BlackSalamander]

At first I was like :D

Then I was like D:

[senguin123]

Really? Why?

[LilyaSD]

He somehow managed to flip his own head vertically 180° because of the song =3! Kyawaii dakara ~°!

[coldio]

and then c: at the end right? love-hate relationship goes to. . . uh, normal. at least from her side c:

[HakuCordero]

Fear not Alice; there is a great chance that somewhere in Marisa's cluttered house various magical items have reacted together causing an immortality-granting elixir. There is a smaller chance that she will discover the formula to it and take it, but it still exists. If all else fails she could just take it and/or the information from Eirin... if all else fails that is... >.>'

[iewgnoix]

The purpose of this video is to sadden fans. In fact, ZUN hints many times that Marisa will become a youkai magician just like Alice.

[HakuCordero]

Fair enough; I was merely consoling Alice since I don't like a sad Alice T-T

[gigaslave]

The latest hint? ZUN is planning to publish a Grimore of Marisa.

[Dryad1989]

:D and that's cool

But still, this video has a feeling that is kinda absent in other Touhou videos... the sadness and bittersweet feeling, D: some melodrama fans obviously love this song, specially the video, maybe I'm into that group, because this one, and Locked Girl (starts sad and ends happy) are into my favourites :P

[dstrbd123]

"Daisuki"

HNNNNNGGGGGGG

[xheatx]

"Daikirai!"

"Daikirai!"

"Daikirai!"

"Daisuki..."

*Pause vid*

HNNNNNNNNNNNRGH

*Resume vid*

[sasukesrosebud]

wait a minute theyre both girls?but i still think theyre a good couple just so sad at the end of the vid

[Nymfipapukaija]

What's so wrong with homosexuality? I'm not lesbian myself but I think Marisa x Alice kinda fits.

[Willldragon]

Sure, just by a different name. In western society it's called "bi-polar"

[hugutaru]

What is "bi-polar"? is it like Tsun-dere?By the way,about moe,there is a bit hard argument in Japan.Assuming that Tsundere includes Moe,You should be a bit careful (in Japan).The argument might go to ancient philosophy(wabisabi wokashi)

[Northbergh]

"Tsun Tsun" is used for cold/blunt/curt attitude, while "Dere Dere" is used when a person becomes spoony in front of his/her lover.

Therefore, "Tsundere" is a female character who is usually cold, but she becomes spoony on her lover. Or, she is cold to the main character at first, but she becomes lovestruck later.

-------------------------

From: Urbandictionary

[KrispyDoringo]

Tsundere characters aren't bipolar.

They're just conflicted.

[xPinkCirnox]

Omg... I just typed out a full comment for this and my playlist made me switch to the next video... x_x

Anyway, long story short, bi-polar is a medical condition. Not a character description. Like the other guy said, becarefull how you use that term, it can be inconsiderate and sometimes offensive to some. In "western society" people who are bi-polar =/= tsundere in "eastern society". ._.;

[Priran]

If you're going to pretend to be psychologists, at least get it right. Tsundere would be a kind of reaction formation, not bipolar disorder.

[Rabarberskurk]

saddam hussein was very tsundere

and moe

[wererat42]

there's an animated flash version which is too cute, but the ending is kind of bittersweet and sad.

[conejini12]

its so cute

it make mi criee

[jorel658]

wow SWEET BGM

[Amu1126]

nice song

[Elinie]

Tsundere Alice Is Tsundere~

[CUR4T4T0]

Sooooooooooo SweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeT!

[arcticMUD]

amazin'!!!!

[AzumangaIdiot]

Alice is tsundere!

[boiper]

So cute~~

[yoshiothehedgehog]

You have no idea how much this fits to a situation I'm in, it's scary. >>

Great song too.

[thunderhand108]

Love the song.

[AkumuKeayo]

Wow... the highest-quality youtube video I've ever seen. 5 stars, man!

[litterboxcatz]

oh yess.... O.O

[Passi470]

like it ^^ .

ps: it's not an anime.

[lordknighteliwood]

is this a anime if so tell me the title

[DemonchefSakoto]

I do this to much......

Touhou project is flat bullet dodger with 2 fighting game spinoffs. Their was a fanmade animated version. you can watch it on my favs. But it has a large fanbase on youtube. IOSYS is a famous group who make fan songs and MVs. Hope you enjoy touhou ^^.

[AwesomeKunoichi]

It's not an anime but there is kinda a story with the video game. The game is called Touhou, or Mountain of Faith.

[AwesomeKunoichi]

Oh, I'm sorry! This particular setting was from 'Perfect Cherry Blossom' in which Alice met Marisa. -^_^-

[flurkoneko]

was PCB really the first time alice met marisa? i have a feeling it was in one of the PC98 games.

[Technature7567]

Yeah, alice was in one of the PC-98 games.

I, myself, just have no idea which one, since I havn't played them...

[Dauntaro]

Mystic Square

She was stage 3 and EX boss

[SagashiIndustries]

I believe Reimu's ending is canon, though. Alice remembers Reimu, but not Marisa.

[Dauntaro]

Well, yeah, Reimu was the one who beat the shit out of her. Marisa just made her stop shooting danmaku every and stole EVERYTHING

[crilljr420]

Including Alice's precious thing, hence her actually remembering it. It's just that she didn't realize it at first, because Marisa wasn't just a blur saying "I'll just be borrowing this."

[CrazyTranslator]

lol, the first time they met was on Mystic Square (Touhou 5) =P

was even on MS that Alice fought only once with her book on the extra stage.

its a good game though, its a shame they simply forgot about Mima and Shinki.... at least Yuka came back. Oh well, Alice is still my fav char anyway.

(This was an answer for AwesomeKunoichi)

[iewgnoix]

It's not necessarily true since ZUN said once that Mima is still wandering somewhere around the shrine.

[HydraHunterMkII]

lol i love how the last part takes lyrics from marisa stole the precious thing (or it may be the other way arround)

[Arisedearest]

What a beuatiful song

[IchigoArlekin]

can you tell me how to got this song? I'm a fool and never heard of zamzar XD

[IchigoArlekin]

ah... lovely yuri always calms my heart... AlicexMarisa 4evah!

[sonicbhoc]

What I find funny about most fan material about Alice (and this video is a prime example) is that it's the exact opposite of her character profile.

[ExodusC]

This is the truth, just judging by Alice's official profiles and game dialogue, Alice really appears to be quite the opposite of how the fanbase portrays her.

However, go read Witches' Tea Party, an official comic written by ZUN. This clearly shows the side of Alice that the fanbase has come to love (or hate).

(I've also heard rumors that ZUN hates how the fanbase portrays Alice, but as I said before, he did write Witches' Tea Party.)

[sonicbhoc]

I remember Witches' Tea Party. Didn't know it was official. That makes sense then, I guess.

[ExodusC]

Yes, as far as I know, Witches' Tea Party was written by ZUN and illustrated by Shunichi Fujiwara. I could be wrong, though.

[xRockyyy]

Alice is singing to Marisa, the one she loves. x3

I love this song! Especially the "continue to grows" part.

[MayrinFlew]

The song is very nice and cute!! But I don't understand any of the characters. Which person does Alice love or is she just singing a sweet song?

[Darklinkshorty]

alice loves marisa

But so does Patchu

akward isn't it

[Akumasama]

If the fans are to be believed, so do Flandre and Reimu.

Meh, stealing "precious things" is Marisa's specialty after all...

[Darklinkshorty]

yeah

[FluffyTenshi]

awws shes soo kaiwaii~ ^___^

[ramdomperson13]

daisuki~ make me 100% sweet <3

[NaiKeZ]

daisuki! Cute lyrics!

[Ikaritheflamezephyer]

alice is my favorite touhou character X3 such a good song

[dxd2006]

same xD

[shikiku]

This song is adorable. :3

[Chocochanx4]

Ahhh! Kawaii!!x3♥

[LilyaSD]

It's all because Marisa stole the precious thing T_T! This song is sooo cute =3!

[FuzakiRyu]

Awws this song is so ute!^^

[RelativelyBest]

Sweet. X3

[KOKOA4496]

♥So Kawaii~!!♥

[Celaw123]

I was playing Day of Defeat: Souce and sumone played this and I had fucked up dreams that night LOL but its a pretty wild song i don't know how to explain it.

[Jazz4YourSoul]

Did he play alot of IOSYS songs? I think I know him. I know I play something like this, while I'm sniping in quiet servers. They don't complain. :P

[Celaw123]

:P his name was Detri or sumthing like that

[GaaraXCookies13]

This is my new favourite song now! I love it sooooooooooooooo much!

Subtitles rock, coz I love to sing along. ^_^

x

[EmperorFranky]

this song is very very nice! I love Iosys! I like touhou game! me and my friends play it everytime at college.

[cosmosofinfinity]

I know I've commented on this video before, but I just want to say that this is my favorite song from IOSYS. And that says a lot, considering how much pure awesomeness they produce! ^_^

[ExodusC]

I don't care what anyone says, IOSYS is still one of my favorite Touhou doujin music groups.

[cosmosofinfinity]

I wasn't dissing them or anything, I was complimenting them. IOSYS rules! I'm just saying that Alice → Sweet is my favorite song from them. Just by a little bit though, since they make so many awesome songs.

[ExodusC]

Oh, I know you weren't. I was just saying, as many claim IOSYS is not great. I will admit their albums don't have as many great songs per album anymore (in my opinion), but I still think they're great.

[cosmosofinfinity]

As long as IOSYS makes good songs, they rule! I wouldn't think IOSYS is bad just because of how many good songs are in their albums. I care about how many good songs they make in general. I don't albums is a good reason to say they're not great.

So basically, I think IOSYS is great because of their songs, regardless of how they do with their albums. :)

[Aeraknight]

Alice is the best!~ Soo cute!~ Nyao Nyao!~ "Daikirai" and "Daisuki" are the best parts!^~^

[hailey910]

is this a show!!?

[Gulverr]

No. IOSYS takes characters and music from the video game series "Touhou" and remixes the songs and puts them with flash animations

[hailey910]

thank you!!

[darksidepunk]

mp3? :C

[karsten69]

you want a link? I have it. PM me and you will get it.

[darksidepunk]

ah nevermind. I found one ^^ thanks though.

[yosimune99]

0:30～、2:00～

There are lyrics.

[ivuwMerupo]

In case if i remember correctly, Alice is human that became youkai trough studying, and Marisa just gets her power from magical objects, was that right?

[Keyasan]

It could be about Marisa, due to the fact one is human one is magician if I'm correct with the different kind thing, but DarkraiDemon has a point, try looking at it through Shanghai's view.

[ExodusC]

I'm not sure how one can assume it's from Shanghai's point of view, but I guess that's up to the listener. I'm fairly sure it's supposed to be Alice.

[Azazlam]

seeing as how its Hate in the beginning to Love at the end, its Alice.

[grgspunk]

TSUNDERE!!!

[Chinchilliott]

wow, the HQ version really makes a difference compared to other HQ vids out there

[Maraqtic]

My fav. song.

[Yaridovichz]

I liiike this song... Didn't know it was about love, but it did sound like that... cheerful yet somewhat sad...

[NaiKeZ]

This is great! Anyone know more cute bands like this?

[Zairamink]

O.O that's disgustingly cute... Favorites >_> no, I'm going to listen to it over and over and over again... >_> the lyrics are kind depressing though...
