Hear me out, This is a social experiment video, so what I want you to do is to draw or mention something about Layla Prismriver nonchalantly in whatever place you go to. Whether it be the Touhou discords, Twitter or even on Tumblr (yoinks), anyway we can spread the word about her would be absolutely hilarious!! So ya, if I see a Layla cosplay at next Touhoufest that is how we know we have won.
Whose world is this? (Its yours.) Its mine, its mine, whose world is this? (Its yours.) Its mine, its mine, whose world is this? The world is yours, the world is yours. I sip the Dom P., watching Gandhi till I’m charged and writing in my book of rhymes past the margin. To hold the mic I’m throbbing, mechanical movement, understandable smooth ____ that murders move with. The thief’s theme, play me at night, they won’t act right. The fiend of hip-hop got me stuck like a crack pipe. The mind activation, react like I’m facing time like pappy mason, with pens I’m embracin’. Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets.
Tbh, I think she works best as a background-piece. I like the dark and tragic idea of a girl who couldn't let go of the past and left her creations that really only exist to play music without a purpose. And that is pretty much where it ends. Even them expanding their band is ultimately tied to playing music.
Technically Prismriver sisters aren't japanese mythological creature. Poltergeists and tsukumogami aren't the same. Poltergeist is spirits controlling/possessing things & a tsukomogami is things gaining a soul. Love that Raiko combine those 2 tho she is a thing given life controlling things (her modern drum set)
I am pretty sure when Layla and her family was still alive, Gensokyo was not established yet, it was just a random mountainous area. It is unknown if the time period her family lived in was before or after the Youkai Expansion Project, but only way after that, when the Barrier was constructed was Gensokyo called “Gensokyo”. The place (a Western mansion) their family lived in got abandoned, and I assume (correct me if I am wrong) it got transported into Gensokyo like how the SDM was, since it was forgotten, bringing the three poltergeists with it Edit: That makes it three Western mansions in Touhou, the first one being the place Kana was haunting, the second one being the SDM, and the third one being the Prismrivers’ place
I think a big way to help would be if someone who knows Japanese would translate the only hentai doujin I could find of Layla. Either that or make lewd fanart because everyone enjoys a spooky green haired girl.
-YEAAAAH HE MENTIONED THE FETISH ART!- I always think it's quite interesting when a fandom decides on a fannon design for a character who has no cannon design. I wonder where it originated from.
Maybe mima,or maybe because white,black and red and the colour that remains is blue,or purple.also white hair,black hair and yellow and what is opposite of yellow,green.
@@Reimu_hakurei_vibing_i_r12345 yeah, it makes sense. And green was quite a popular hair colour for anime characters in the 90s/00s (her design looks so very 00s lol). Perhaps a popular artist designed her and it then caught on from that.
@@TheLugiaSong thanks, Touhou was supposed to look like old anime,touhou was supposed to look like old anime.....well that didn't last long,like ZUN's old art(UFO has the best art)
You could said that Layla became a quarter of the person she is. I know my jokes are half funny, unlike her. Anyway, as Touhou lore newbie, it's amazing how big is everything about this fandom.
Layla makes the Prismriver sisters so much more profound and wholesome than what is to be expected from such a premise. Imagine being summoned into existence as reforged copies of someone else. Imagine that person projects her feelings for someone else onto you, then dies to be re-united with her 'real' sisters in death, leaving you behind. I'd expect the reaction of the 'fake' Prismrivers would be resentment to their creator and their existence, but they don't appear at all so. The three of them have continued Layla's legacy by creating new music, and are one of a handful of Touhou characters that are not static, but have experienced growth by incorporating Raiko into into their troupe. I wish these aspects were explored more, and think it starts with re-introducing Layla to the fandom. Btw does this mean there are technically 7 Prismriver sisters?
Also the person who said it is mima's theme is wrong because that song is Marie's theme from SG I voted for Layla in the Touhou popularity poll,so yeah,I knew about both Layla and youki and voted for them to see em again in a manga .Leila is persian pronunciation of the word layl,means night(lol).or the lover in one of the Arabic folklore Why is she cut in half?
If Mima and the PC-98 versions of Reimu and Marisa can get into Lost Word, I think there's a chance that Layla can appear too. We did just recieve an awesome looking costume for Merlin with extremely flashy attacks and a boppin' remix. So who knows if this green-haired girl will get some love.
I haven't played LW in a bit, did the PC98-Reimu and Marisa actually go anywhere yet? Because them showing up seemed contradictory to how they basically confirmed that A1-A5 do not exist.
@@lpfan4491 As far as I know, those alts for the characters never left japan. It's a shame since they look awesome and show some love for the PC-98 Days.
Nice video on Layla! While I do believe she is very cool, unfortunately I do not think too much about her, despite the Lunasa, Lyrica, and Merlin all being in my top 20 Touhous. Although, I recognize your call to action to bring more attention to Layla, and I will try to do that at least with myself! She's already connected to some of my favorite characters (as stated before, I am a large fan of the other Prismrivers), and I can get unreasonably attached to very minor characters (I am a insane Rin Satsuki fan), so I will aim to enjoy Layla more! And just talk about her more in general I do already have a cool headcanon with Layla and her sisters, relating to how Lunasa, Lyrica, and Merlin learned how to play musical instruments only after Layla's death. It's that Layla herself was a musician that played the instruments that the other three sisters play now (piano, violin, and trumpet). After Layla's death, the other three decided to each learn an instrument of hers to carry on her memory. It's just a neat thing I thought of a while ago and I feel it's worthy to share here while talking about Layla
3:59 FANTASY MAIDEN WARS CAMEO! Even it was brief, at least she got a good story appearance in that series too, and they even made her a map sprite in the NG+ update.

I thought Raiko playing with the Prismrivers has now clearly proven she's the fourth Prismriver sister.
Actually yeah, I thought that they had mentioned Raiko as also being part of the Band before.

I assumed it was already established, but that the mansion appeared in Gensokyo long after Layla's death as it became forgotten.
Well... at least Mima has a friend in the "non-existence" category...
This girl's schizophrenia was so strong that it created life!
If she were to return, the Prismrivers are a quartet.
got rejected. Suwawako makes a man happy

@@TheLugiaSong one question why Layla is always cut in half
@@Reimu_hakurei_vibing_i_r12345 guilty
she also appeared in touhou the alternative age as the stage 4 boss
and was given marie's theme from shuusou gyoku there
This is some type of death not even yuyuko can match.

"half funny unlike her".
Youmu:"Huh?"
“Died than harder than Layla”
If layla ever existed, she would want to be forgotten but only the music remains
can you make a video explain about little Reimu's ending? Or at least make a video about the little Reimu
Am I the only one who thinks Layla looks like Sanae?
Can you talk about touhou summer days (and when touhou summer days ep 4.5/ep 5 will come out?)
The drummer!?!..But she’s replaced!
Until Flandre dig up a drum and took it to Scarlet Mansion.
Plus Layla met Mima as close friends.
Funky limbs..
😢

Btw does this mean there are technically 7 Prismriver sisters?
:ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Big brain
Also the person who said it is mima's theme is wrong because that song is Marie's theme from SG
I voted for Layla in the Touhou popularity poll,so yeah,I knew about both Layla and youki and voted for them to see em again in a manga
.Leila is persian pronunciation of the word layl,means night(lol).or the lover in one of the Arabic folklore
Why is she cut in half?
Didnt think to see layla on here. Its unfortunate she's not well-known as the 4th sister but then again little is known so it makes sense

@@blockeontheleafeon Huh? As in, they released in japan? I never heard of that.
@@lpfan4491 They have. And they've been released there for a while. Though again, they never got a worldwide release. Only in japan.
