Pokemon Black/White Music - Tower of Heaven

[@MrLeeBoy1994]

This song makes me feel like there's still unsolved mysteries in this world.

[@enmamu1430]

xd yes

[@marina_96]

Exactly!

[@MagnusTV1990]

This song is so cold, It actually makes me feel cold even if it's summer and we have really high temperatures. It's the first time I feel cold while actually being sweating, and I don't have a fever or anything...

[@clara_bandicoot]

Me: Ooh, it's the graveyard of Unova, time to catch loads of Ghost pokemon! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! Wild Litwick appeared! FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@PrezAhmdo]

You forgot the occasional 8% "Wild Elgym appeared!" which is in fact, not a Ghost pokemon.

[@XochiCh]

Love the Chrono Trigger Guardia Forest music in this tower :D

[@SaiyanZ3]

This sounds like a mix of Chrono Trigger's Green Memories and Secret of the Forest

[@Dualblades47]

also sounds a little bit like the earth palace theme from link to the past

[@tdark987]

And Chronopolis

[@polishedrelish]

Guess who composed those

[@JoJoOscuras]

@@polishedrelish who?

[@polishedrelish]

@@JoJoOscuras Masuda

[@Leafia_Barrett]

This is practically my lullaby, no joke. Just set this to repeat and let the tone wash me away.

[@justinyang6267]

The subtle pan at 0:51 is done really well

[@hailtheheroful]

It feels like when you get to the top of the tower, there should be a cutscene of Link walking in on Ganondorf while playing the organ so gracefully.

[@brittonkirkland3854]

I loved that they remixed this in Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS in the Reshiram/Zekrom battle remix!!!!

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

wasnt on the wiiu

[@zangetsu9196]

Britton Kirkland I would have preferred if this had been its own track.

[@tdark987]

Damn. I can't believe they had the nerve.

[@mcballercheese4679]

My favorite pokemon song.

[@andrewlinzmeier5378]

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR HOURS FOR THIS MUSIC!

[@matics28]

sounds like a mix of 2 of my favourite childhood game songs of all time,zelda link to the past and chrono trigger. I've been playing pokemon since red and blue, but ive gotta say, they REALLY stepped it up in terms of the music in b/w. This gen may just be my fav soundtrack :).

[@SigmaSD08]

This is one of my favorite OST pieces of the game. I dont know why but it sounds an awful lot like the third dungeon from Zelda: A link to the past.

[@_V0RT3X]

1000th like. Using this song for a flipnote actually

[@killerkirbydude]

@LegendaryLunchbox Galvantula is really the best electric-type pokemon ever. It's KILLER. Especially paired up with something like Tirtouga or, as I did after I beat the game, with a pure water-type like Feraligatr, Kyogre, etc.

[@DrKnockOut1115]

@Helljumper91 I agree with you, about half of them seemed to just be meant for filling up the pokedex, though every region had pokemon that people just didn't want

[@Ridorana12]

This music is strangely nostalgic. @ 0:17 - 0:49 it feels like a music from one of the pokemon movies.

[@f17coolplane]

@AnimegamerMaximum The composer of Chrono Trigger is Nobuo Uematsu. He worked on Final Fantasy games.

[@CHESEPOWER]

I was very happy to hear this song, remembering playing Chrono Trigger... oh those days.

[@SkyDragon90]

@theriolu1693able Did you find one? I'm getting a Hitomoshi, too. The chandelier with a blasphemously high Sp. Atk. is too good to pass up for me.

[@truearea53]

Oh this is heavenly I can listen to this for hours :)

[@Redster3]

I discovered a rapper (sorry I forgot his name) that uses this song as the background and beat and his music or at least one of his songs. It was on Spotify. I immediately recognized The Tower of Heaven before the name of the actual song he used it in. I hope I rediscover it again.

[@TobyEllisSongwriter]

@porygonZ104 actaully, a link to the past dungeon theme mixed with Secret Of The Forest from Chrono Trigger!! Its very Yasunori Mitsuda this track. The chromatic 32nd notes at 00:30 make the melodic gesture so blatantly taken from Secret Of The Forest its unreal. I can't beleive they got away with it. But I'm very glad they did, cause this is an awesome reworking! :D

[@WingZero1223]

@1KingZant It's important to the plot, but not in a direct way. It's important to the region of unova in that it's the resting of most departed pokemon. It's one of those things that while there isn't much you can do there after going the first time, it helps make the whole game easier to accept.

[@AnimegamerMaximum]

@f17coolplane Originally the music of chrono trigger had three composers which were Yasunori Mitsuda, Noriko Matsueda, and Nobuo Uematsu. So your correct about Nobuo being involved.

[@NyuuTheKitsune]

Definitely getting a Final Fantasy vibe from this. It's really amazing how far Pokemon music has progressed.

[@Ridorana12]

The music for pokemon started sounding all platform/ atmospheric background-like to me when I heard the background music for Eterna Forest in Pokemon Diamond. I like this.

[@IndianCookie25]

I love this GMT so much

[@Mobius14]

Love how Secret of the Forest is in the related videos.

[@mrbignerd]

Yes there is Chrono Cross in this as well definitely. Starting at 00:16 you hear the background tones? An inverted version of Chronopolis theme from Chrono Cross. And to those who haven't played Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross give them a shot. They are relatively old RPG's but are very good, especially Cross. Cross is amazing :)

[@halberdierv2]

@SigmaSD08 dang, you're right, the similarity is uncanny. and awesome.

[@MisakaFEH]

@Vidman313 Jasmine being in the game, the connection to the red gyarados which tells us d/p is happening at the same time as g/s/c's red gyarados incident.

[@SuperEvilMel]

It sounds like a mix of Zelda and Chrono Trigger music. Sets the mood very well, considering what happens at the top of the tower.

[@emme0731]

Such a beautiful music track....

[@drunyon214]

@123Masterx The dungeon in a Link to the Past was called the Tower of Hera.

[@TheGundamDude8045]

This song has very unusual elements mixed in, Legend of Zelda Link to the past Light world dungeon, Chrono Trigger Secret of the Forest and the name Tower of Heaven comes from the Tower of Heaven game made by flashygoodness. This ONE song was built from those other ones minus the name of the track. Crazy!

[@PPTVGames]

@asmadeous the Chrono Trigger looks interesting. Also they sound the same. Thanks for showing me that.

[@DancingFlameDragon]

@mikeweedmark It does have elements of Memories of Green in it, but I'm also definitely hearing Secret of the Forest.

[@mrbignerd]

@drunyon214: That was the very first thing I thought of. At 00:16-00:28 sounds almost EXACTLY like the theme of Chronopolis from Chrono Cross. I'm surprised not more people have caught that one. Glad you did though.

[@WingZero1223]

@Likeness404 I'm not saying that the world of pokemon makes a bit more sense because there are details like the Tower of heaven/Celestial Tower that are designated as essentially, cemetaries. At least, I would find it weird if the death wasn't ever referenced in Pokemon games, or what happens to those pokemon even if it is only really done in a couple of places.

[@dball_94]

I remember hearing this at the bottom of Dragon Spiral tower and juts stopping to listen for like, 10 minutes.

[@CombatChuck182]

@Ammit5 I agree. You could also argue that the piano bit is very much like the dungeon theme from "Link to the Past."

[@Tortferngatr]

@zcarnesecca Yes, you can. Best part is that you don't really lose anything by evolving Ranpura into Shandera (dusk stone) as soon as you evolve it from Hitomoshi.

[@DensukeMifune21]

@slightlyoutofreach01 the point is that Noubo didnt make music for Zelda, and he did make the music for pokemon and all SquareSoft/SquareEenix games

[@Zeldatheoristb211]

@kirbyfan1005 Umm, yes it does, from 0:16 is where the ALTTP Light World Dungeon music starts.

[@jomon324]

Hrm... as an afterthought, it seems there is a general connection between peacefulness and mystery with the collection of the short all-too-familiar piano riffs heard here. I wonder why...?

[@barelycertain]

i thought this was going to be some kind of mix between black/white and Tower of Heaven. that would be awesome.

[@jomon324]

I was sent here via a link in a Chrono Trigger "Memories of Green" video. This song /does/ seem to be inspired by memories of green, which I think is cool. I need to get this game. >

[@AYUSKO1]

i love this song!!! every time I listen to it, it reminds me of Dragonspiral Tower

[@blue_lux]

Late but it's because IT IS Dragonspiral Tower's music.

[@UltimaSpark50]

@Ochitsuki I KNEW I wasn't the only person who thought of Zelda when hearing this!

[@Ultrasoulstealer]

@asmadeous Your right and it also sounds like Sanctuary Dungeon in legend of Zelda A link to the past

[@V8Arwing92]

I swear, this sounds like a mix between the Forest and Cave music from Chrono Trigger, mainly the piano and flute/woodwind parts. I was half-expecting Flea, Slash, and/or Ozzie to be at the top of this tower, lol.

[@mikesvampire]

This sounds really sad... I love it :D

[@1092cb]

Thank you!

[@DFMike73]

Tower of Heaven is an awesome Indie game.

[@Ariakiste]

@Atma01 Not only Secret of the Forest, but also Memories of Green. But still, it's a very peaceful and mysterious musical piece. I just love the musical influence that Chrono Trigger has. ...Even if Chrono Trigger's music didn't inspire the music composers.

[@LuigiKing2000]

I felt the same! I heard the Tower of Spirits from LoZ: Spirit Tracks as soon as I stepped in.

[@jaden4220]

do not know if this song and happy or sad, but I feel happy when I hear

[@EienOfDark]

@ZeldaTheoristb211 Exactly!! When I was in the tower I noticed that immediately! I was like holy crap this is awesome

[@MorganaBee]

@aneitalt In the pokemon world, humans don't die, they just reincarnate into their own "descendants".

[@emomage101]

this reminds me of cloudy days and the cold or visting the cemetary at cloudy days

[@ChaosChicken200]

@elijahhandley That's why I'm so glad one single Elgyem appeared. Now, it's a Beheeyem, one of my favourite pokemon. It takes hits damn well and destroys pokemon who failed at killing him

[@Bluetailvappy]

I see I'm not the only one who thought Yasunori Mitsuda had taken over composing for these games. But it's still Junichi Masuda. We've gone from the simple themes of Blue and Red to this with the same composer.

[@negatiff3411]

Champion Adler’s mourning his partner, his very first Pokémon.

[@hafr805]

This song also plays on the best wishes anime, a lot of b/w themes do.

[@Helix1101]

I always was so excited to go here because I thought I would finally be able to capture the Legendary Pokemon depicted on the cover. Turns out that wasn't the case, and I was so dissapointed at the time, since the epic music made me expect that event. Still great music though.

[@datdougy2]

at 0:28 secrets of the forest creeps in. clearly a sample riff from chrono trigger. quite clever to add in a a rpg

[@volkerball85]

@Chucknorrisaurrus They're in Related Videos because people have mentioned those songs constantly in the comments this one. If everybody in the comments to this video was talking about Metallica or Pink Floyd, that's who would appear in the related videos sidebar.

[@FrenchyStarFox]

This is the song played when you're trying to fish for a Dragonite. ... Yes you CAN fish a Dragonite outside the Dragonspiral Tower. But it only appears in rippling water, and has 1% chance of appearing (all those informations are from Bulbapedia). Good luck finding it !

[@Rampartwo]

@1KingZant The tower was a place to find Ghost pokemon, of course. Plot wise it's significant to Adler, and it completes the region. Every region has a graveyard. If you want a completely meaningless place look at the Moors of Icirrus. I don't think there any pokemon there that can't be caught somewhere else. Maybe itll have more significance in the future but for right now its the only meaningless place in BW.

[@imejaraty546]

I like this song.

[@DZSCORNER]

Pokemon tower music sounded creepy and scary. The celestial tower music is very pleasant.

[@somerandome10yearold]

i love this song..........................

[@JoelOnToast]

@asmadeous Sounds like a combination of Chrono triggers ''Memories of Green'' and ''Secret of the forest'' Either they took insperation from CT's soundtrack or this is a pretty huge coincidence. :')

[@DrMarvel123]

This is my 3rd favorite song from the game. 2nd being N's toy room and 1st being n's farewell.

[@SetoKaiba342]

I love this so much >

[@DragonKazooie89]

This song is giving off a Kingdom Hearts vibe, especially at the beginning.

[@enlighteneveryone]

Exit safely from the Light World Dungeon. Pass through the Secrets of the Forest. Enter the Tower of Heaven... and you'll find Heaven itself.

[@kimck]

@wiilover07 FYI, the term "celestial" means "heaven." Hence Tower of Heaven/Celestial Tower. No difference.

[@SaltyBreeze-c8h]

Definitely going to stop by here and hunt for Hitomoshi!

[@volkerball85]

Err... are you talking about Nobuo Uematsu? He did indeed produce music for most of the Final Fantasy titles, but the music composer for Pokemon has been Junichi Masuda, since day one. o_o

[@MidnightWonko]

@kirby401 The repeating bit played by the piano is very similar. It also bears a minor similarity to Memories of Green from Chrono Trigger.

[@ThomBaws]

I just love this music

[@Toadmaster89]

OMG, I'm not the only one that thinks this song sounds almost like from Chrono Trigger. That's one of the reasons I love this song

[@rainechoo]

@Masterge77 I like how "Chrono Trigger Soundtrack- Secret of the Forest" is in related videos.

[@Axelarden]

@ItzmeMasha Yeah, I think every dex has its hits and misses. Also, props on Galvantula - I use him just about every time I play B/W. Spiders freak me out irl, but Galvantula is pretty badass. Bug/Elec is a good type combo offensively.

[@nervousboy1111]

i for one love this soundtrack

[@volkerball85]

@Deboogs No, it doesn't. It's just one section that -sort of- sounds similar between two songs. If you play them together, the differences are clear. The Zelda theme is simpler and there are fewer notes in each progression. Even with the similarities, it's just one part people are jumping on, ignoring the other 90% of both songs to call this one a ripoff. I think that's a bit of a stretch. I wonder if people realize how many popular songs over the years were written using the same 3-4 chords.

[@kellhiro]

@spark0410 yeah got that same feel zelda link to the past, mixed with final fantasy or something beautiful track!!

[@kimatochaos6133]

So peaceful :)

[@Leafiafan]

For a few seconds I thought this would kick into the Legend of Zelda Dungeon theme.

[@JadeIsBunny]

@Hikarekuno One can't steal from himself. But this very much sounds like the Dungeon theme (Colour dungeon in Link's awakening ) at 0:40.

[@Blues_Light]

@wiilover07 In the Japanese version it's called Tower of Heaven.

[@GenteelCretin]

@jricket Very astute observation. I was getting the vibe from the two former, but I would've never made the BoF III connection on my own. Interesting.

[@MrChroissant]

I trained my litwick here. imprison blocks every wild litwick's moves. I had a good time :)

[@cherrypop146]

@Darkwrath20 No, you're right. It's the tower with the graves and bell.

[@RetroLaserbeak]

@GaleofDarknessXD And Jasmine was in Sunnyshore City in Platinum BTW

[@StarKoopaChaox]

I can't wait to see whats the link with the story in this tower.I hope to get cool Pokémon theres ^w^

[@ktofthedx21]

@Darkraimaster89 Correction: You heard that line from a part of Dragonspiral Tower, presumably from N.

[@SkyDragon90]

@TheCrocusBeatle That's exactly why i called it "blasphemously high." It can probably kill whatever it wants in one shot.
