- This is the song "Iris (Music Box Version)" from Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. Some of you may recognize this as "Shiwase no Hako" well this is the melody to this song on the piano. This version was made especially for Professor Layton!
Игры
I'll always stand by my belief that this was the saddest game in the series, even more than Unwound Future. At least Hershel and Claire got closure, as did everyone else in the game... Anton and Sophia though? They didn't. Anton went so many years in isolation and loneliness, only to eventually find out the truth, that his wife was long gone and that they had had a daughter he never got to meet, and a granddaughter he didn't get to see grow up. He got Katia back, but he lost so much else. Sophia never got to live out the rest of her life with him. All of that, to me, is just the saddest thing in the world. ;________;
But also why Diabolical Box will always be my favorite game in the series.
I agree 100%.
Also, literally everything he thought was real turned out to all be fake in the space of a few hours, and he had almost nothing beside Katia, and (maybe) Beluga helped him since they were related I think... I mean imagine going from being 25 or something to being 80 almost instantly finding out your whole life was fake
ProPinkist oh shit you right...
I agree. Layton had already gone through the grief of losing Claire and had moved on, so the ending of Unwound Future was him reliving that pain. Anton, on the other hand, lived a miserable, lonely life and lost all the hope he had in an instant.
What about the Azran Legacy?
Heard the first few notes of this song and instantly broke down in tears. The professor layton series holds a special place in my heart. I grew up on this series and each one was so sad. I'll never forget this masterpiece of a game, it means so much to me.
IKR TT-TT I love this series
Spoons Mcgee I totally relate
Spoons Mcgee me too friend
Same , those memories I had while playing it ,it been like 9 yrs since this game released…
I feel you so much! These games are something really special ❤
This ending was so damn depressing, I wish she would've just told him "hey this town is polluted and everyone is going crazy, I'm pregnant and the baby is gonna die if we don't leave now"
i was actually crying
Well, Anton was a character who was pretty stubborn, he didn't want to leave the town but Sophia had to because she wanted to raise her child in a better place, the story is romantic but also sad, a genre where Japanese makers excel, people who played the game and didn't cried at the end are not human!
"The sun rises when you and I meet and when the wind blows, you will know my heart"
I cried at every single layton game especially this one, sobbing my eyes out.
Same omg they're all so sad, but so beautiful at the same time ! Especially this one and The Unwound Future
Tara O'Caster Unwound Future was brutal...
Scratchy Towel It was ! I seriously cried my eyes out like how can a video game be so sad seriously
Same!! I bawled my eyes out at this one especially
Mikaela Griffin have you played the last one? horrific
Who would have thought that a puzzle game can make someone cry...? XD
I cry too when Sophia read her letter and this music is played.
I know right...
Carmen Xerxes the saddest part is the end of nessie in call of the phantom
@@moemuxhagi same
Reaper Leviathan the saddest part for me is Claire’s departure from the present time... but Loosha’s death was heart breaking as well
I really want a custom music box with this song for my child...when I have one, that is.
If there is indeed a music box like Iris, I shall not rest until I find it and buy it.
If you can either find the sheet music or make it, this www.scientificsonline.com/product/sku/3153508 will let you put this song into a custom music box of sorts. You punch the holes into the paper, and this music box reads and plays it. It's so cool, and it's worth the 20 bucks to buy, because it can play any song you can punch into the paper, as long as you punch it properly
Oh my gosh, thank you!!
School Desk Ink. No problem!
Or you can buy a kalimba, you can play many song with practice😉
I played this game when my grandparents died. I was at my uncle's house and my cousin told me about this game... I was just ten years old, but I wanted to solve every puzzle, and know more about the story.
Every time I hear this song I remember some feelings that I used to share with my grandparents and it's kinda nostalgic to me. I just feel like I could hug them, like if they were by my side...
Thanks to professor layton I managed to take another step and just remember the good things my grandparents left me.
im so sorry about your grandparents, may they rest in piece
I showed my boyfriend the ending and song a few months ago (as I stumbled upon it again) and he actually gave me the latest game and a customized box for Christmas. It plays a quite simple but cute song we came up with sometime and he put a love letter inside that he wrote, which looks old (beause he used special paper). The sweetness of it all and the loving words really made me cry a lot.
Actually, this is "Shiwase no Hako" just without the words! It was a special version of the song meant for Professor Layton.
it's been 8 years and I'm still crying
12
When I first heard this it made me think of a mobile for a baby and I thought that if Anton and Sophia had been able to raise their child together she would have listened to this T-T
Oh god, the crying begins again…D'X
Every time I listen to this music, it makes me cry. It's so sad how Sophia and Anton were separated for so long and how Anton found out that Sophia is dead. *SOB*
I know this is an old comment, but you gotta remember that, when this did play at the end, it was during Sophia's final message. And while yes she died a year prior, she never stopped loving Anton, and despite the horrible reputation the box garnered, was able to finally give Anton some MUCH needed closure, and even allowed the box to fulfill it's original innocent purpose. And I think this being played on a music box only adds to that innocent nostalgia, where sure Anton's almost lifelong crush is dead, but he was finally awoken from his 50 year long delusion and got as happy of an ending to said long unfinished and unfulfilled teenage love story as he could, and could finally let the past go.
Lyrics:
When I think of the memories
We shared long ago
There’s a part deep within me
That what’s you to know
Though I left without warning
Without a goodbye
I have faith that soon someday
You’ll be by my side
I promise you
I’ll answer your plea
I swear it’s true
Just trust in me
My love for you
Will always live on
Like a song
A simple melody
Though we’re apart
You’ll always be in my heart
I’ll dream of the day
You’ll travel my way
And we make a brand new start
Never my oath come what may
The sun will shine someday
With new horizons to pursue
New horizons here with you...
You made the song even more beautiful with these words
@@luke0980 The lyrics are almost the same as the French cover of the song. Might be a coincidence. If you like the lyrics I highly recommend the french cover of Iris.
This is a series that I grew up on, that is something incredibly special to me. And this, this one song, is what embodies the experience of Professor Layton to me. A pervasive, bittersweet sadness that has touches and threads of hopeful remembrance, but also acknowledges that you have to let the past go and move on. A lover’s song becomes a lullaby, and then a sweet, half-forgotten memory of childhood. That’s what this song is to me: something that I listened to and loved as part of the game series that was so important to me. I listen to this while I sit on the brink of becoming a legal adult and having to begin to leave my childhood behind. It will always be there, and there are plenty of happy memories to enjoy, but there’s no way to recreate that experience, and this song is an acknowledgement of that bittersweet truth. I’m laying in bed, listening to this song, and crying alone as I reminisce as I have for a while now, and I let myself think of the short moments that have comprised my life thus far, and how much farther I’ll have to go.
That was PERFECTLY put!
Oh well there goes my soul...
Goodbye soul...
You will be missed.
I'm weeping and sobbing y'all
this game still and always will hold such a special place in my heart
*falls apart*
*drops composure like it's hot*
*cries a lot*
*cries some more*
Thanks Level 5
My eyes have been possessed by squirtle again and I have no control over them oh god and now I'm remembering the ending and oh my gosh *sobs*
*tears up* Poor Anton and Sophia... I freaking love these games. I've never cried more on a puzzle game in my entire life. They gave me so many feelings that I really never want to experience again but alas I have one game left to complete. Give me your worst, Layton!
I recently finished Mask of Miracles and I have to say it's now one of my favorites, with Diabolical Box and Unwound Future, being this last one my most favorite game in the series. I want to play Azran Legacy so much, to see how this wonderful game series ends.
I don't want it to end though, it seriously makes me want to cry like I've had so many memories with it and ugh
Neru Akita I know right. I freaking love the series and the fact that it's ending just makes me so sad. Like I could seriously play a million of the games even if they are repetitive.
Akira Misaki Me too! Just, every single one was so clever and meaningful and beautiful and oh god, I grew /up/ with these games! What is a Layton game without the professor himself?! I'm stubborn but I don't think I'll play the newer games; I don't care how charming his red haired son is or how pretty his apprentice is, because they'll never be the Professor and Luke and ugh
Aidan Monteith Pretty sure there's one more game in the Layton series. The games themselves aren't ending, but the new main character will be the Professor's son.
I remember crying like a baby at the end of the game. I wasn’t sad, I was actually so touched and so happy for Anton. In my opinion I think The Diabolical Box was the best of the original three Layton games.
Spoil :
When at the end we see the face of Sophia in the sky while Katia and Anton reunites, I bursted into tears. It's probably the Professor Layton ending that made me cry the most.
I played this game recently again, and while I definitely felt for Anton and Sophia when Sophia's final note was played back when I first played this as a kid, now as an adult, when I got to that same scene again, I started *sobbing* the most bittersweet tears I possibly could for a video game.
Is it weird how I'm more emotional now over moments like this as an adult?
When I finished this game, I cried. The ending was really touching.
I didn't want to abandon it yet, so I also finished every puzzle.
When all the puzzles were gone, I kept listening to the OST of the game.
This piece is my favourite. I remember that I left the DS open with this music playing on for all the night. It was so soothing and beautiful, it calmed my soul.
This definitely was my "Pandora Box".
Cried my eyes out when I finished this. I replayed the ending over and over again through the week and again I just felt like I had a hole in my heart. Why must u do this video game!!! :,(
At least the ending was overall happy, the Unwound Future was even sadder.
+Tiebe Swinkels Omg ikr. Unwound future was even more sad. Especially the scene with layton and claire. I swear to god my parents thought I was insane because I kept grieving for video game characters xD
+Olivia Davies The saddest part for me is that after everything, the mayor gets away with his crimes while Clive (who lost his parents and his home) is put away for practically his life.
Just ... poor Clive. After everything in the game, he loses everything he started with. His parents, his home, and his family's wealth after he spent it all to get back at the major. And his goal is never even achieved ... :(
Now I'm curious to know how you reacted to the end of Unwound Future.
Nostalgia my dear friend,
I hope you’re doing well
When a light flickers
When a bee flies by
I sometimes think of you
I still think of you fondly
When a light flickers
When a bee flies by
I hope you’re finding rest
Nostalgia my dear friend,
I hope you’re doing well
I hope you’re finding rest
When a light flickers
When a bee flies by
I sometimes think of you
It’s hard to remember
Fond memories remain
When a light flickers
When a bee flies by
I tuck these memories away
-
Nostalgia my dear friend,
I hope you’re doing well
I hope you’re finding rest
When a light flickers
When a bee flies by
I sometimes think of you
It’s hard to remember
Fond memories remain
When a light flickers
When a bee flies by
I keep these memories

I have watched the end of this game several times and it still makes me cry really bad. It's just such an amazing end. Oh and when luke said: I'm not a gentleman yet, gosh, no words, just amazing.
this game is so beautiful. still crying everytime.
this series has always been so important to me and of all the beautiful music in every game, this is the song that always gets me.
Man, this song still gets me to tears even today. It's been so long since I played this game too. I'm praying for professor Layton and luke to come back one day, I miss those guys.
I'll just admit I bought my 3DS to play the last 2 Layton games
No need to feel ashamed, I did too.
I bought it for animal crossing - but the Layton games were a fucking good bonus too
Lazy_Lola Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D but bought Layton 5 and 6 because i love this games
Same :)
Me too..
Omg, I cried so much at the end of this game! :(
At least she had a good reason for leaving and they still loved and thought about each other for 50 years.
If I ever find one, I'll let you know. But this is one of the best songs in the game.
i miss the feeling i got when i used to play this game, and not fully understand the sad bits, and now i have to feel the pain of it all. i miss naivety
The ending was really touching. Listening to this makes me want to play for the sake of watching the ending again. Even with one half of his heart gone, he still loves her, everlastingly, indefinitely.
Anton Herzen is the best illusion, ever.
I cried at the end of this game.
Anton's story is just so sad and beautiful at the same time. He kept loving the same woman for 50 years without seeing her, till his own love became hate... and then, he awoke in a reality where his beloved isn't anymore in the same world... But their dream together continued for two generations, and he can now live with the granddaughter who resemble her love so much...
Aww...
Just wanted to say that I am now re-listening to this with the love of my life 8 years later, and I had totally forgotten about this comment of mine.
Here's my wish to live with her for the next 50 years hehe...
I played this game when my cat died and now 10 years later this song gives me comfort when thinking about my dog who died three weeks ago
“We can’t progress forward without losing something.”
This thought, too, is waiting to be revealed like a magic trick.
Tracing along the railway, the frame carried a new town.
If I could only turn “goodbye” into a song, I could see you again wherever you are.
I learned that even within a different view, the same colours shine.
Between our backs is a warmth that I will feel for a long time.
I cried at the end of the game when the letter from Sophia was being written. So beautiful..... This song just made my day after i heard it for the first time.
I've played every game over and over because I never get tired of them, but when the Miracle mask only came out on 3DS, which I couldn't get (too much money) I came straight back to this song because for me it sums up every game and every story that I will never forget ♥
1:50
The melody touched my heart, she is soft and clear and so full of love🎶
I used to play this to my son till he slept, I am glad I don't need to now, but I deeply miss those times, thank you. I still like it.
I tend to put this song on whenever I'm upset because it sounds quite sweet (the sweetness lifting my spirits) but because of the backstory from the game, it's a great song to just freely tear up to. I just love the Professor Layton games
This makes me cry so much...I love it. It's so beautiful. It just makes me think of sad things that happened to me though...
I want a music box with this music. It´s so romantic & calming. I could listen to this for hours.
Why does this make me cry? It's so sweet. 😭
I will find whoever disliked this and feed their souls to the foulest demons in the pitts of hell, while they can merely watch in agony as their souls are devoured leaving them to slowly die and descend into the firey inferno of hell.
I mean duuuude! This song is feelsy, who could hate this and be dubbed sane?
"My dear Anton, are you well? I received your letter. Though I'd love nothing more than to see you again, I'm afraid I no longer have the strength to do so."
My very best friend made up lyrics to this and sang it to me before she moved away...and listening to this just makes me remember all the years we spent with each other, but I can't stay away from it. I don't want to forget her.
I miss her so much it hurts. TT ~TT
As we say here in the Philippines - "Mabuhay ang Professor Layton series!" (In case u were wondering 4 those who don't understand Filipino, it means "Long live the Professor Layton series!"
ever since i first played professor layton, the day it came out, all i want is a gentleman.
That music is starting to remind me about the day when I was born😌
A mark of good story telling, how it can have an impact on a person. Like me, crying over this sad, yet beautiful ending.
And yet again, my eyes turned into water blasters in which I had no mental or physical control over. T.T Touching, truly.
Thankyou so much! This makes me so sad and happy at the same time
ok but i was obsessed with this years ago- still am ngl hahah
Professor Layton. First time I ever cried at the end. :(
This beautiful music starts to remind me of the day when I was born😊.
I think The Unwound Future was the saddest of them all. But both that one and the Diabolical Box made me cry
This melody is so pretty it makes me cry T-T so beautiful.
I love this version ! She is beautiful !!
You knew better about the things I was cherishing.
Believing that we could meet again, we waved farewell without promise.
The train window is a frame of drifting scenery.
Softly, softly, it starts to reflect a beginning.
With a piercing look, we confirmed the reason for the two of us to exist together.
But now, this gasping pain is something more than a memory; it’s a pledge itself
I honestly didn't think the Layton series could get any more touching than the story with Flora and her mother... Then I hear about Anton and Sophia... DAMN YOU LEVEL 5, MAKING ME SO EMOTIONAL D:
Wow this sounds so lovely❤️😍🥰🎶🎵
I beat this game when it came out in America, I was so psyched for the next Layton game. But this story was so, so sad. I cried. I mean seriously. It's so touching and moving. I never thought Layton could make a game that moved me so much. Can't wait for the Last Time Travel.
Anton and Sophia. It's too tragic. ; A ;
21 people disliked this song because it made them cry.
It's the most epic puzzle and riddle solving game ever. There are 4 or 5 games and a film, all of which are simply amazing. The first one is Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
ㅠ...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ진짜 잊을 수가 없는 훌륭한 엔딩...엔딩 보고 한동안 후유증에 시달렸지요ㅠㅠ
god i remember crying so hard when i finished this game the first time years ago
*pats back softly*
there, there.....
omg lost future's ending was the saddest thing i have EVER seen!!!! i renember when i first played it, i was DEPRESSED (which is a rare thing for me) for about a day and a half!!!! even thinking about makes me sad!!!
i love this music :)
sometimes i nearly cried.!
the songs are just so harmonious!
It is as if you were in a film ...
this is just sooo sad! its beautiful! it reely brings tears 2 my eyes because it brings back so many memories from when i was younger. *sob sob*
This reminds me of my grandma who past away.Becouse we used to walks to the fountion park a bit far from my home.I love this music anyway.'It has a nice ring to it...'
i have all 3 professor layton games and i love love love love this theme!!
Why do professor Layton games have to make me cry?!?! I love them so much they just remind me of my childhood, when everything was carefree. And the only thing we worried about was what we were gonna have for dessert hehe. I miss it so much
It´s such a lovely song.
I was crying at the end of the nintendo ds game, because it sounds so sad.
Or was it a moment of joy?
It was so cool that the letter in the box arrived the old man and he was found his beautiful granddaughter.
Yes it is! It is a special version of "Shiawase no Hako" just meant for Diabolical Box. I really enjoy this version!
This is amazing!Love this *:*
Oh how I love these games. Not only are they fun and challenging, but they each have a story behind them. This is such a beautiful song. T_T
that whole part in the game made me cry D; with the note and everything D; so sweet :')
This is so gorgeous. ♥
Only two games have ever made me cry.
This, and Explorers of Time.
Both of which have beautiful music at the end.
das ist so ... wunderschön *schnief*
i just beat it.
The tears wont stop!
it was sooooooooo good!
It's like this song is a crying song if you understand, it's so beautiful it makes you cry! 😭
This game had such a great ending to it. All of the Layton games do. The Unwound Future had the best of them, almost without doubt. I remember tears falling onto the screen as I watched the ending unfold. These games had some of the best plots and story lines that I've seen in games. I will always love the Layton series
the way it should b! cuz this is so nice!
I started to cry when I first heard this song...thumbs up if you did the same thing...
Professor Layton endings are always so sad and tragic... :'(
You don't have to be a PERFECT gentleman if you can pull off being as super dedicated and true as Anton was. I think a lot of girls would go for that too.
why did i have to listen to this to make me cry again
i love this song *hugs piko utatane plushie* i love this song sooo much *falles asleep*
Just finished the ending a few days ago... It made my heart feel warm.
I cried at the end and I cant stop replaying the ending. :$
soo a beautiful melody and the story of the game is it too *-*
I love this game... And the music is fantastic!
I almost cried at the end :( Beautiful.
Who would have thought a game where the main focus is puzzles could be so moving, and have such good music?
*sniff* :(
I'm not a gentleman yet *cries*
Not ashamed to say I still cry to this song, despite it having been so long...
Professor Layton, and its a series. There's five games out now, Curious Village, Diabolical box (what this song is from), Unwound future, The Last Specter and Miracle Mask. :)
