Nowadays these styles are pretty much gone from the internet and are no longer active, but I wanted to talk about a few of them here for those who might have missed them.

Hello my deers! I have yet another collection of various mori music finds for you all today. As always, I hope you enjoy! Happy listening. 1) 그 밤 /The Night by Lovewave: This lovely song is both melancholic and softly relaxing. It's an easy-listening sort of song, and hauntingly beautiful. 2) Iris (Shiawase no Hako) by SALYU: Although this song was written for Professor Layton, it has long been one of my all-time favorite songs. It is such a beautiful song, with gorgeous vocals from Salyu and some unique chords that really make the song super catchy. 3) Jikan Ryoukou (Time Travel) by Ann Sally: This is another song from Professor Layton.

Some of the themes of the stories can be a bit sad or distressing, as they all involve stories of those who have passed, but each is done is such an amazing and interesting way. It makes you feel as if you are there. experiencing the story for yourself.  Although the stories are great, my favorite part of the game is its amazing environments. As you explore the old Finch home and the forest surr...
