PoDD Kana's Theme: Vanishing Dream ~ Lost Dream

This is Kana Anaberal's theme from Touhou 3: Phantasmagoria of Dim. (Dimensional) Dream
I found a really awesome arrange of this theme months ago, and I seriously cannot find it again. I'll have to go hunting for it later...

[@shaunfrost720]

Fun fact: this was supposed to be Yumemi's theme but it didn't fit for a final boss, so ZUN created Kana to inherit this track so it wouldn't go to waste.

[@IdiotNo]

I guess Kana is lucky to have such a cool theme!

[@OkinaMatara214]

Love it when ZUN adds a brand new character just fit into the song that he was intended to make it for the final boss but it just isn’t worked out

[@LolitaCraft]

I love how lonely this song sounds and how it almost has the feel of someone who's given up but still continues to go on for whatever reason, perfectly fitting for Kana. She's an unstable ghost bound to a single location and, like the song and her title, she's 'lost her dreams' or doesn't really have any hope for the future until Yumemi comes along and gives her a chance to be free of the place that her entire existence is tied to. Just my thoughts when I listen to the song :p

[@gardenerofthesun]

interesting enough - Kana's theme supposed to be the final boss' theme, but Zun thought that this one is not that fitting and then created Kana

@Marisa Nya That's an extremely controversial opinion but I agree with you, there are so many good songs in there that being so underrated like this should be a crime.

[@blara2401]

This song reveals who Kana really is. Behind that cheerful smile and talk of hers, dwells haunting, eternal melancholy and loneliness. Oh, and on an unrelated note : this sounds eerily similar to "Holiday" by the Bee Gees in some parts. I heard this song on the radio the other day and I was all like "Wait, that's Vanishing Dream.", I swear.

[@mynameismmandimheretosay7979]

Same here for the first paragraph XP

[@SydneyIsSleepy]

Really wish people would give the pc98 themes more recognition because this is genuinely one of the best songs in the entire Touhou series

[@f.u.m.o.5669]

It is good, but not the best. You're probably experiencing the 'underrated makes is better' feeling.

[@GetPsyched6]

​​@@f.u.m.o.5669 not exactly. I've listened to a lot of Touhou music. Like a huge amount. And i find that PC 98 Touhou just had that magic which is no longer there in ZUN's music. In Touhou 18 i barely liked a few songs compared to HRtP, where i love nearly every song.

[@elzer1998]

@@GetPsyched6 Agree. The PC-98 Touhou themes mostly have a distinct "feel" and to them that isn't really present on the Windows games. It's like they are a bit more emotional and tend to fit the scenarios and backstories better than the Windows games. Also, I agree Touhou 18's soundtrack is not as great as previous entries, there's a distinctly different "style" that ZUN uses starting from Touhou 18 that makes the songs not as strong sounding as previous entries. I think Chimata's theme is a fine example, it wasn't too long ago that we had stuff like "pure furies", "little princess" and "idolatrize world" .... and then there's Chimata's theme, which doesn't sound bad per say, but just doesn't have the "WOW" factor previous songs have.

[@f.u.m.o.5669]

@@GetPsyched6 I've changed my opinion this is one of the best Touhou themes. 10th favorite overall.

[@nyukjustacommenter857]

Zun's themes don't often contain emotions such as melancholy or malice, but the ones that do are definitely the most praised ones. Not the most popular, exactly, but the most praised.

@@Staris4117 "I'd say those old characters have probably retired by now, and are warmly watching over things from various places nowadays." --ZUN, Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Yuuka Kazami Also, "-Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Alice Margatroid and Yuuka Kazami appear. -The Yin-Yang Orb has appeared in every game alongside Reimu, but it's unknown if it still has the same powers as it did in PC-98, or if it's still the Hakurei Shrine's greatest treasure. [Also, Misumaru was specifically written in a way that doesn't contradict even with the first game] -In Perfect Cherry Blossom, Alice refers to previously meeting Reimu in Mystic Square ("At last, former friend, we meet again. Have you only brought me your life as a gift?"). -Alice's sealed grimoire is likely to be the same as the Grimoire of Alice from Mystic Square. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Reimu alludes to a previous encounter with Yuuka ("Everything went back to normal when I defeated you back then!"). In Yuuka's article in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Hieda no Akyuu stated that Reimu has exterminated Yuuka several times (although saying it's "probably bogus"), Lotus Land Story most likely being the first. -In the very same game, Yuuka tells Marisa that she's "grown up quite a bit", referring to her being considered a child in the PC-98 era. She could also potentially be referring to one of Marisa's lines during their encounter in Lotus Land Story ("If it's going to bring me a boring life, I'd rather die!") when saying "Ah, you're still alive?". -ZUN mentioned in at least two interviews that Genjii is "probably living in the lake at the back of the shrine." In Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 12, when Reimu and Marisa Kirisame were talking about "glowing moss," Reimu said it would be nice to transfer it to the pond in the back of the Hakurei Shrine and Marisa responds that she could make it grow there on the turtles' backs. It's possible that one of them is Genjii. -Mima appeared on the cover of Akyu's Untouched Score vol.4. -In the 25th chapter of Curiosities of Lotus Asia Reimu comments that the Hakurei Shrine was once taken over by an evil spirit, most likely referring to Mima who frequently haunted its vicinity and was stated to be somewhat of a cursed deity of the shrine[8]. The fact that Mima isn't mentioned by name, however, might mean it wasn't her. -In Oriental Sacred Place, a ghost similar to bakebake appears on a map that Sunny Milk was holding. It's unknown if it was meant to be a bakebake. -A similar reference is made in Urban Legend in Limbo and Antinomy of Common Flowers - when hit by Mamizou's Transformation "Futatsuiwa Clan's Curse" spell card, Sumireko turns into a bakebake-like creature. -In the above games, Marisa's 8th palette is the same as her color scheme in the PC-98 from Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream onward. -Various spell cards are references: --The infamous Love Sign "Master Spark" resembles Yuuka's penultimate Stage 5 pattern from Lotus Land Story. Given Marisa's borrowing habits (and the only other Love Sign also being a copy), it's potentially meant to be her take on it in-universe, rather than being a simple resemblance. --Marisa's Astrologic Sign "Orreries Sun" uses four magical orbs in a similar vein to her (and Mima's) PC-98 attack patterns. --Fujiwara no Mokou's Fujiwara "Wounds of Metsuzai Temple" resembles one of the attacks of Evil Eye Σ. --Sanae Kochiya's Sea Opening "Moses's Miracle" is strikingly similar to Alice's second pattern from Mystic Square's Extra Stage. --The name of Doremy Sweet's Super-Express "Dream Express" is likely to be a reference to Mystic Square's Stage 1 theme. -There are some musical references, as well: --Reimu's theme "Maiden's Capriccio" in Lotus Land Story, as well as Marisa's theme "Love-Colored Magic" in Story of Eastern Wonderland were arranged in the game Imperishable Night. Also, the music comments for Marisa's theme "Love-Colored Master Spark" stated that Marisa had five themes when the game was released, indicating that the others are from Story of Eastern Wonderland, Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, Lotus Land Story, and the Seihou Project game Shuusou Gyoku (since Immaterial and Missing Power is chronologically before, but released after Imperishable Night). --"Nostalgic Blood of the East ~ Old World" has a part closely resembling "Plastic Mind" from Mystic Square. ZUN alludes to this in Imperishable Night's music comments. --"Eternal Dream ~ Mystical Maple" is a reprise of "Maple Dream..." from Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. -Undefined Fantastic Object holds a good number of references: --Makai made its first post-PC-98 appearance this game, albeit with a different way of entry. Both Reimu and Marisa seem to already know Makai, whereas Sanae feels confused by the world's nature. Also, Makai was again referenced in Symposium of Post-mysticism, providing more information. --Byakuren Hijiri's Great Magic "Devil's Recitation" is incredibly similar to Shinki's penultimate attack. --Nue Houjuu appearance as a ball of light has similarities to the Mysterious Orb; their appearances are identical, and both drop items when leaving the screen, each ending with an extra life. --Marisa commonly used a wand in PC-98, and was seen with one again in this game for the first and only time in the Windows games thus far. --The Stage 6 theme, "Fires of Hokkai", contains a heartbeat sound similar to what ZUN intended for the Stage 6 theme of Mystic Square, "World's End".[9] Additionally, the later parts of the theme follow the same progression as the drum pattern in the intro part of "World's End". -Mountain of Faith's Japanese part of the title, Fuujinroku (風神録), is a callback to Story of Eastern Wonderland's title - Fuumaroku (封魔録)[10]. -While this isn't an official part of the series, ZUN composed Shinki's theme for Magus in Mystic Geometries."

The tone and title of this theme best fits Kana and her past. It pictures the sorrows of neglect and abandonment that she had suffered throughout those many years of her life. This is a perfectly fitting mood for Kana because it tells a story about the pain of loneliness and forgetfulness.

[@oceanman2011]

she really wants to be around with the mentally unstable girl who first manifested her, and everyone else around. sadly, she's no longer alive, thus isolated poor kana.

[@fezsquall9]

*_Kanara "Kana" Anaberal_* _必「カナ」アナベラル_ ¤ Ghost-poltergeist hybrid ☆ Recreating any Outside World object A long time ago, there was a lady in a western land who was forgotten by everyone else in the town, so she went mentally unstable and made a poltergeist duplicate of herself in Gensokyo. When she died, her soul also went to Gensokyo and fused with the poltergeist. She now haunts a ruined shack that neighbors the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Aaaaaaah, PoDD. Playing this game with my nephew is so much fun! I always choose Kana, and he always chooses Yumemi. And we just have so much fun. Of course I do beat him every time, but he has fun too. Ah, man, is this game wonderful.

[@theadorabletk]

A few years back, I was listening to this theme, when it was uploaded from someone else. There was a still picture of Kana where she was looking in your direction. Kana's story, along with her theme, made me feel rather sad for the little ghost. Not really saying it to anyone in particular, I said, "You're very lonely aren't you Kana?" out loud. I swear to *God*, Kana nodded at me. She nodded her head, before going back to being a still picture. I'm not sure if I was hallucinating or not, but that instant has remained with me for a very long time. Maybe Gensokyo is real after all...

I think that Gensokyo exist in your mind. Because we think of Gensokyo, it exists. That's at least what I think. Plus, I believe in surnatural things, as you described, and I love thinking there is "connections" with other worlds. Maybe I sound like an idiot or a crazy guy, but that's what I think. So, in my mind, I think what you saw or think you saw may be real.

PC98 songs have a bitter sweet feeling to them, in a sense that i can't decide if i like modern era compositions or PC98 compositions more. They're pretty different as ZUN had different musical styles between the two periods and they both have different feelings conveying them. PC98 songs seem more melancholic while some modern era songs have a more upbeat vibe to them. Even the iconic 6-7-1 progression that ZUN is known for was born in the modern era of touhou music. What can I say... mood i guess?

Meh, when I first got into Bullethell shooters back when Raiden hit states so many years ago, so I knew what I was up against. Though I have a problem with memorizing the bullets, so I just do pure reflex for Touhou. It works on a few games (EoSD for sure, MoF, and a few others)

[@zwyxYajilon]

Pap pap~ You do realize, Mamizou is one of the hardest Extra stage bosses? Consider yourself pretty goddamned skillful.

[@hamburger_pls7137]

Some of the parts sounds like native faith but depressed

[@benjaminbeneventi1154]

Sad :c

[@rurihime4965]

1:16 reminds me of Satori Maiden

[@krustygraze189]

Reminds me of some dank Mima Complete Darkness

[@raiden8849]

Cuando escucho esto, de inmediato escucho la voz de stack.

[@Vainglory100]

1:21 kinda sounds like satori maiden

[@tailsfoxboy]

touhoumon

[@oildon]

Sounds a little like Reincarnation in some parts. Amazing song...

[@Michirin9801]

I'm here for my daily view ;3

[@powerscoutie]

Oh, me too :3

[@Michirin9801]

***** It's my author avatar, I drew it myself ^^

[@Michirin9801]

***** Thanks! And yeah it was inspired by Reimu with the purple hair and the bow, but that's not my only inspiration you know... And well, sorry, I'm kind of already tangled up in my own projects >-

[@seovania9601]

This sounds like Castlevania.

[@painovoimaton]

Lol, kana means chicken in finnish :D

[@glowson3844]

in estonian too, although to be accurate, it means hen :D

[@RpRm]

I even suck at that. :P So I'm just the silent guy, that watches/hears/reads. xD

[@Dfle_and_--]

Sad touhou song 😭

[@LilyKazami]

Kana is truly the saddest resident of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

[@charles8740]

? I'm confused.

[@LilyKazami]

The small amount we know about her lines up incredibly well with Flandre as her creator.

[@charles8740]

Hieda no Ajuu That's an interesting theory, it could actually work.

[@vavada8288]

But isn't Kana her human-like self because her owner moved away?

[@LilyKazami]

+Vavada I thought it was Kana who was moving, because she wanted to find a new place to haunt.

[@jjwebb232]

hmm .... I started playing Touhou somewhere between 1-2 years ago ...... Now I have beaten Flandre, Ran, Mokou, Suwako, and Koishi ... :3 I'm definitely not the best, though.

[@speedmixcb]

12 years now, are you still playing?

[@gor5179]

1:16 it sounds like clownpiece theme¿

[@hgs547]

Nah it sound like polyushka polye form soviet union in 1941

[@vanessapalisoc4558]

Why does this theme remind me of this song Flower of Dreams by Yuuhei Satellite 😛

[@wingzero7621]

Because Flower of Dreams was a vocal remix of this theme

[@vanessapalisoc4558]

I know =P
