Weirdly enough this reminds me of Masada.
Maybe it's just a tiny bit Madotsuki/Masada?

A few seconds of this looped could make a great BGM for a fangame

Listen to almost anything by Pentaphobe. They've got a real Yume Nikki theme going on. (EDIT: It sounds a little like the 24EFFECTS album, now that I've listened to it).

Hell, the girl even looks like Madotsuki... sort of.

I don't understand how can anything featuring any vocals possibly remind you of Y:N.

It fits Masada and Madotsuki. A lot.

Saya no Uta has a feel similar to Yume Nikki; this song in particular:

Time Code by Bright Eyes really makes me think of Yume Nikki, it's got a pretty surreal sound. Plus, the fact that towards the end an alarm clock rings makes me feel like the song itself is just a dream.

Take a listen;

You, sir, you are awesome. I love The Residents, and I didn't think anyone would bring them up here.

Whisper by Evanescence. Especially this:

don't turn away - Away from the five vagina-looking guys to see a blue one
don't give in to the pain - Mado's constant blank espression
don't try to hide - alone in her room all day and night
though they're screaming your name - Well, in a way...
don't close your eyes - Mado's eyes are always closed
God knows what lies behind them - Can't think of anything here...
don't turn out the light - UBOA
never sleep never die - she's always sleeping. Then she dies at the end.

Not so much the melody, but basically all the lyrics.

Imaginary by Evanescence.

There's quitea few Vocaloid/UTAU songs that remind me of YN. I have really bad/weird taste in music so these may not be everyone's cup of tea.

"Putting Aside, Thinking Aloud" by Luka Megurine has lyrics that make me think of Madotsuki, but the general sound of the song not so much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vakuj4eGYzw

However, these ones do have a very YN sound IMO
"Absence" by Yuki Kaai http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6OjjjSBwc

"A Bad Meal" by Nene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KirzoKHaMLo

"TV Program to Easily Operate A Human Being" by Miku Hatsune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgcqQvUL9n4

>>342 and >>78 posted some of competor's work, but pretty much all of his stuff is very YN-ish.
"Arpezzio" feat. Miku Hatsune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_33QU5MIpo

"Jagabongo [jagjag remix]" feat. Miku Hatsune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bbJo7QrhcA

"Miku Hatsune no Animation 2" by competor doesn't have any singing, but just watch/listen because YEAH.

Well first up, i have "Chasing Ghosts" by Nomy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O600-fIIZuI
And you might want the lyrics which are what remind me of Yume Nikki the most: http://www.nomy.nu/lyrics/sid=75

"Herzog" by Clark for it's ambience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En8l_Nsc6I0

The WHOLE album "Haunted World" for it's dark ambience (You'll need spotify for this): http://open.spotify.com/user/matty406/playlist/54nRTEHM0tCslRa6bmyjEp
(Yes, that's my username.)

Dream On by Depeche Mode, maybe?
I'd get a video but the school's computer is terrible =|

Cause in my dreams, it's always there! The evil FACE that twists my mind and drives me to despair!

The Number of the Beast, by Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden has a lot of Yume Nikki-esque music, but this piece takes the cake.

this makes me think of any world in the game...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li_9_PBeMUQ

The Art (Alfred Kubin) AND the music (Steve Roach) remind me of YN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O61LpVrw_OM

I know a lot of people think of competor when it comes to relevant Vocaloid things, but does anyone else think of kiichi/Nantoka-P?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxX64ehMIgU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLCsWfTr9uo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfbU9cmWDQk (On Nico, someone compared this one to Kalimba.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njrg752ZoGI (This one may be a bit of a stretch and probably won't count, because it wasn't really composed by kiichi.)
And finally, the all famous, "Love Love Nightmare." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ElFPu4AJsQ

>>3856
I'm pretty sure kiichi has done some YN remixes for the 24EFFECTS album, as well as cosMo and iroha, so it might not be a coincidence.

Goldfrapp's Deer Stop. The lyrics make no sense but neither does much of Yume Nikki.
Bawwwwwwwwwww...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZTQU64N6aA

>>3863
He actually did. Wow, how did I forget that?

Also, Iroh-P's songs with Teto and Luka feel very empty, due to the metallic edge of Teto's voice, and resonate well, due to the timbre of Luka's voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acuQTrMtjT4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VaqYuxc_bs Fatal World is helped out a lot by the pv and lyrics, in my opinion. The opening eyes and the groping hands in the very beginning, the simple form of the characters portrayed, and the lack of color add a strange sort of depth, but the part that stands out to me the most is when you see the little robot standing in the void-like darkness, looking off into the distance where there is a small patch of white ground with a lighthouse on it. Gives me Monoe vibes.

Paradox, with the echo and the overlay of melodies to make a harmony, really give a sense of loneliness, and when added to the static background music, gives you a very Yume Nikki feeling song.

He has a few that aren't on Youtube. "Dreamy Dream," sm8858911, with it's Neon World vibes, and Paradox_Re-cord, sm10682088.

Why does everyone associate vocaloid songs with Yume Nikki? Vocaloids are so unemotional, and it really clashes with the amount of emotion more properly associated with Yume Nikki.

well for me, i don't even like vocaloids that much. it's just that song because one the videos for it are creepy, two mado doesn't really show much emotion in the game, and three the "AAAAAA" suits the well...AAAAAA in the game.

Are you kidding me? Vocaloid songs have tons of emotion in them. If the characters singing themselves don't have emotion, it's the user's fault for not having them sing properly. I don't know what you've heard from them, but...

And everyone already took the songs I thought of.

>>3883
I've heard loads of vocaloid. That's why I think they're emotionless.

I don't think I'm the only one who feels like Madotsuki is overly nonchalant, especially considering the content of her dreams. Sure, it's a game and all, but there's gotta be some way that someone could program at least some sort of reaction or the illusion of emotion, right?

Thus, robots who sing. Songs aren't all about the vocals or lyrics as much as they are the sound and feel of the music. Most of the songs I posted are pretty much lyric-less, even, unless you really dig into them, and even then the lyrics don't quite make sense. I was looking more for the feel conveyed through the music itself.

I sound like a hippie.

Walking With Strangers by The Birthday Massacre is a song I listen to from Poniko's point of view a lot. But I guess it could go from Madotsuki's pov too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdxDCM9xoV8
The Dream by The Birthday Massacre. Includes something like the Ending of YN in the lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzhLj8UMOkE
And lastly, Kill the Lights by The Birthday Massacre. Sufficiently epic, maybe....?

So sue me, it's all TBM, but that's one of the few bands that reflects the creepy-girly viciousness of Yume Nikki to me.

>>3891

>I don't think I'm the only one who feels like Madotsuki is overly nonchalant, especially considering the content of her dreams.

By that reasoning though you could argue that vocaloid songs can be applied to, say, the protagonists of Silent Hill. Plus, who can say that she's actually frightened by what she's seeing?

>Sure, it's a game and all, but there's gotta be some way that someone could program at least some sort of reaction or the illusion of emotion, right?

Er, not really. Especially since the game is intentionally kept ambiguous. Intentionally added reactions or dialogue would kill it.

Polite self-sage so I don't bump the thread with an argument.

This one is for Madotsuki, of course.

Not quite the topic, but my buddy swears up and down he heard Yume Nikki's title screen tune, minus the highest note, play in Inception.

Love Love Nightmare, Hatsune Miku.

As well as the seriously creepy tone, the lyrics contain mention of dreaming, an empty world and other themes that pop up in YN as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgzeqwhNTDk

I imagine Masada sounding like this. As a matter of fact, as gay as this sounds, I could imagine this being a song he'd sing while playing on the piano, to serenade, or just to sing.

Pic somewhat related. I think of this picture whenever I hear the song, and vice-versa.

Yyyesss! TBM is the perfect fit to the topic of this tread.

Strangely, something in the Eluvium's Copia is steadily reminds me of Yume Nikki every time I hear it. "Strangely" because no other his album affects me in such way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9Q3XHqvohw

I can't listen to this song without thinking of the guys on the subway looking at Madotsuki.
