HM Extras: The Lost Emotion (Arrange Version)

This is an arrangement of The Lost Emotion from Disc 2 of Hopeless Masquerade's OST

What a beautiful arrangement... The Lost Emotion is an incredibly powerful piece, and an orchestral arrangement is just the cherry on top of the cake, honestly.

For a song called "The Lost Emotion" it really has a lot of heart in it.

[mothman]

hopeless masquerade gave us an orchestral arrange before anyone had any time to make one themselves

[KokoTehWitch]

I love how it show you about Kokoro's The loneliness, searching for something yet it's beyond your grasp, and

[time-travelingnekomata]

Dude. I almost cried when this started. The original one used to crash the game every time it started, but this one like, crashes my emotions. Forgive the terribleness of that joke. XD

[tgr]

ZUN, the fcker. He beat everyone to an Orchestral arrangement of his own song. Lmao.

[lukasi]

This arrange is glorious.
No, seriously. It's not awe-some. It's the awe itself.

[mizukiyearsago]

What I imagined in this masterpiece:

First is, the loneliness and lost.

It's not a type of loneliness you would feel, not the epidemic or apocalyptic feeling like the song "Lost Within" gives, but the feeling of pure loneliness. Imagine you are in an eerie abandoned building, you are the only one alive. No one else. You're lost within something you're not familiar with.

Second, the hopelessness.

This is where the hopeless kicks in. You were trapped inside a world you don't know, you don't know where everyone is, you feel hungry, thirsty, and of course, scared. You miss your family, but they're gone. Everyone is gone. You eventually engulfed yourself into a ball of hopelessness, slowly accepting the fact that you are lost within a world with extinction.

It made my heart heavy as I write this, Zun you're amazing as f*ck... You win, the world is yours. Anyways, this scene is what I imagined, and I know it is completely unrelated to Kokoro even though this is made for her. But the feels-

[laura.sauraw]

Hata no Kokoro... The expressive pokerface. This piece truly describes the lament she must be concealing deep down. Her distress finally teaches a climax and she unleashes her frustration in combat. Like her, this arrange contains many emotions, but presents a facade devoid of them. How precious you are, Kokoro.

[notchata]

Better than the original. And the original was already fantastic...

[tonick]

I think all the sorrow and anger combined after she lost her hope mask created this masterpiece. I mean, this is the most emotional song zun has ever made. She s just like child lost in the world of emotions, lacking the only thing that kept her safe and sane.

[PikminH]

YouTube, where is the love button so I love this song?

[AHR]

I cried.  Tears just started streaming down my face several minutes in.

This... this is just one of the most beautiful, most heart-wrenching songs I've ever heard.

[insertgenericallyironicnam]

This is one of those songs that truly paralyzes me.  I get the chills, and am forced to imagine something of big importance happening to the tune of it.  I don't understand how you could dislike this theme or this arrangement.

[prismus]

Kokoro: I thank whoever has done this. Now I can be in peace forever.
Scarlet: But... your Mask of Hope...
Kokoro: It's fine. This already makes me hopeful. Hopeful that the beautiful themes from my master ZUN will be extended for the sake of the Touhou fans.

[pramudyajohansyah]

Upon hearing this song, Kokoro's emotion will become melancholy"

[TeamRose]

Kokoro had gotten so much love...
Her personality and this arranged theme of hers really hits the spot!

[captaincraftit]

Not many things can make me feel emotions these days. As a child I was so emotional, that I silenced them as I grew up. Now, where the normal person might be bawling, holding his or her loved ones, I stare blankly. And yet this. I feel sorrow and joy at the same time. Pride and humility. Hate and love. A maelstrom of opposites, emotions which were silenced or held no meaning to me. This is one of the few things that reminds me what true emotions might feel like.

Thank you for reading this, I hope (heh, there's another emotion) that you feel emotion as you hear this song as well. Truly, it is a call to peace and war at the same time, love and hate, etcetera. Choose wisely.

[pockychews]

This arrangement makes my kokoro go doki doki <3







I'm sorry I had to do it XD

[Kurohi]

At least Marisa is an Atheist and fooling around/trying to solve an incident, instead of siding with the Buddhist or Taoist crew. She's probably one of the only few people who could go against Reimu and win, since Reimu is one of the strongest danmaku users out there, other than Yukari, Marisa etc.

[kheasboroki]

I listenned for this music during four hours, and thanks to this wonderfull song, i decided to wrote a story that ended up being the most complete and longest i've ever done. So, i'd say thanks kokoro for having such a nice theme song~
