I am just curious if other people thought this stage was completely out of character for the game. I thought the tone was weird and the storyline for that stage was too serious. Every other stage has a great sense of humor, but they added this one "real" stage that just made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I am just wondering what other people think...

Yeah, it was weird, why was it so serious? It's so damn slow as well, so your meter thingy goes down a lot because you aren't hitting the notes all the time.

why so serious?

Playing that level made me feel all dirty. Before that level everything had been so ridiculous and over the top and that level just made me depressed. I was worried that there were going to be more levels like that, but luckily I was wrong.

It seemed really out of place. I wonder why they made the shift from insane stories, to this serious one, then back to insane.

Ya it's out of place. My sister played it and told me she was about to cry when it ended. Did the developer ever say why they put that song in there?

Yeah this level is really sad.. it's easily one of the more memorable though!

There was a similarly "serious", slower song in Ouendan.  The level where the guy came back from the dead to say goodbye one last time to his wife / girlfriend.  Very touching and such and such.  Not saying that it wasn't out of place, but, perhaps iNIS feels the need to have at least one "serious", slow, moving song / story.

That stage was so fucking tragic. Seriously, I almost shed a tear on that song. I thought it was really well done, and broke up the silliness perfectly.

Yes a very sad song...


until you see the screw up scenes to it xD

then it's really funny

for those who are wondering what we are talking about, here is a video of it.
Its is about a girls dad who died, how she and her mother miss him at Christmas.
