I was curious about the title to this song, and after some hunting, I suspect the intended root word is Paramnesia, which means "a memory-based delusion or confabulation, or an inability to distinguish between real and fantasy memories."
damn I didn't even know what this word mean before, yet the second part of the song itself gave me some kind of a vibe like it's a flashback of thousand memories from someone's life
I'm pretty sure it's an island from susumu hirasawa's imagination. the song title is island door, nesia or nēsoi means islands, like micronesian means little islands or Indonesia means indian islands. and the word para it can translates to many things depends on the language used for this word, or maybe it's just him naming this island paranesia
@@joshuahendra4918 It could also be a pun on the original meaning with your naming scheme in mind He does however name the island in the very first line of the song, "Tobira - A land of 3000 nautical miles seen in dreams" The Paramnesian Circle seems to refer to a ritual, not the place where it happens, at least based on how the lyrics talk about it.
At 10:00 minutes you can hear the song "Murder" from the eclipse in Berserk. His style is so unique relaxing and intense. I haven't been able to stop listening to this recently.
The devs of the game bought a license to the song and use it in the game. The song itself came out before berserk 1997. He basically re uses the synth for ‘murder’ and eventually this song is used in ruiner. Still pretty cool
99% of Hirasawa's songs unfortunately aren't available worldwide on Spotify. I know for sure that albums Nurse Cafe and Technique of Relief are there so it's probably also there but region-locked
I feel exactly the same, I bought this game just before the pandemic when I was going through a real rough life moment, these lyrics became something like hope for a better future
@@freeallfaded Honestly i could sorta tell. mid to late 90s hirasawa has a very distinct sound when compared both to his older and more recent work. The Berserk OST and Kyosai no Gihou have some of the same DNA, as does Electronic Tragedy Enola.
Mine at 44. It's transcendental. I'm a better music producer for it. It's like a Stanley Kubrick film but music. A piece of work that exposes the possibilities of a medium in such a way that it's beyond you. You have to bask in its sublimity. Then the second part of the genius of this song happens. Years later, you love it more. It's alive.
I'm only now realizing that hirusawa was part of this game's ost, I'd listened to it so many times without making the connection between him and berserk, but after hearing the OST from paprika it clicked instantly. This man has transcended beyond artist and has become something else entirely. Bless hirusawa and everything this man touches.
@wrcz animated film from Japan that Hirasawa did the score for. I haven't seen it, but it looks like an interesting movie, same dude that did Spirited Away I think?
Year late but paprika is a mentally stimulating jaunt from a visionary director by the name of Satoshi Kon (RIP) pretty much everything Kon has done has something to do with the human condition. I highly reccomend all of his films.
@@wichitawwojak3786 Make it closer to 40 years. modern "cyberpunk" is just a regurgitation of Blade Runner, with the exception of things like Ex Machina...
I wish there was more of Ruiner. Once experiencing the whole game, the ambience, the characters, that gritty universe, I want more. That ending left me wishing for WAY more. Ruiner is one of those games so unique and different, yet so full of charisma and personality that you just want more. The fact that there are barely any games set in a futuristic cyberpunk universe baffles me Good thing Cyberpunk 2077 is COMINGGG
Ruiner sets up pretty well for a sequel, but if one hasn’t been announced by now I’m not sure if it’ll ever come I don’t want this game to end up like Furi :(
A sequel would be cool because, well, more Ruiner. But story-wise I think it can stand without one. I mean, thinking about everything that the ending led up to... Spoilers obviously below: You've been broken loose the shackles of everything that held you and was controlling you. You're free from who you thought you were, and drive into the night. Will you try and meet Her, at "where heaven falls", and see what lies in store? But remember, in the end it turns out she was deceiving you as well for Her own ends. Does she really have your own best interests at heart? Maybe you'll just keep on driving, and take your own road into the future. Become as free as anyone can be in this world, and choose your own path. But what if your actions have made you some powerful enemies? Can you face them alone? Either way, I like the ambiguity. I wouldn't complain about a sequel though, naturally. It's a damn good game. Hell, it doesn't have to have the same protagonist, though I hope it does because that face mask is sweet.
I miss this kind of music, 90's was such crazy and strange times, full of dreams and nightmares about the future. Susumu Hirasawa is so good, love this crazy, eerie and mysterious music of his! Besides the art style from 90's Berserk adaptation, other reason for that show be so great is the soundtrack, which Susumu Hirasawa is responsible for it.
Since I never had the pleasure to play any Deus Ex game (because I suck extremely at stealth) and I was mainly too young when cyberpunk masterpieces like Deus Es, Bladerunner or AKIRA came out (going to be 21 soon December 30th.) RUINER was an absolute gem in terms of Cyberpunk media and I'm thankful I experienced this game.
Not gonna lie, I used "Toggle Walk" for Rengkok, or just tilted the control stick forward , loved the atmosphere of this stage and I loved the downtime between battles when coming here.
people aren't buying it just because it's actually challenging and fair cuphead is hard okay but not RUINER-hard in ruiner, you literally have to think within milliseconds while that goes upto seconds in cuphead
In case of doubt, enter bullet time while planning dashes. Also, pick up every weapon for more bullet time. Also, the C.A.T.S. reported that you haven't bought and played Ruiner. Do you not want your Karma, citizen?
AlterRektMLG RUINER isn't hard at all. For the arenas, dash behind enemies and melee, rinse and repeat. Then, once you can spec enough into your shield, for the bosses, just stunlock them. The only hard way to play the game is to restrict yourself to dash only, then it's hard, but it's also bullshit.
Have you ever heard a song that better embodies the mood of a cyberpunk setting than this? Would love to hear more of this kind of cerebral cyberpunk type stuff if anyone has any recommendations. Searching this kind of music usually pulls up something a bit too heavy and with too much "thump" to it. The blend of soft synthesizer and that Japanese cultural sound is just too amazing. (Also, this song on repeat just got me through seven hours of writing a research paper)
yes to me it sounds like the perfect Cyberpunk track, not sure why it does, but seems to capture the mood and essence of it. haven't yet heard anything else like it..
Well, you should listen to Hirasawa's other stuff, as well as his band P-Model's music. This song is from Susumu's solo album Aurora, which funnily enough tried to stray away from the sci-fi themes of previous albums, going for more "instinctive" and "mythical" music. I actually never really associated this song with cyberpunk until I heard it in Ruiner, since he has other albums that are a bit closer to my idea of cyberpunk, like Vistoron or Gipnoza, which are both set in a dystopian future, but when I think about it this song embodies the mood of a cyberpunk setting 100x better, since those albums are more on the energetic techno side. So, if you wanna get into Susumu Hirasawa's music, there's Aurora for more laid-back songs like this one, then there's Sim City and Technique of Relief, concept albums with sci-fi settings but not really cyberpunk, as well as P-Model, Big Body and Enola, some pretty energetic technopop albums, the synthpunk/postpunk/experimental trio of Potpourri, Perspective and Another Game and the dystopian trilogy of Vistoron, Gipnoza and Kai=Kai.
It may sound ridiculous, but look up the bejeweled 2 OST. The composer for the game, Skaven, produced music far beyond what you would expect for a timekiller game.
@@lonelyshpee7873 I think trying to stray away from sci-fi is likely why this song works so well. A big cyberpunk theme/trope is loss of humanity. This song, at least to me, sounds like a song of loss, mourning, reminiscing, nostalgia, and celebration. Rengkok South was a great backdrop for this song. It's atmosphere evoked this yearning for something lost, a little pocket of people seeking humanity in a world that you would imagine has been sucked dry of it. A lot of cyberpunk music is thought to be some kind of super bass heavy techno, and certainly that's part of it's identity. But Cyberpunk music should also evoke feelings of loss and yearning, nostalgia, etc.
@@HazenMire Perfectly put. I definitely agree that the more energetic "cyberpunk music" does have it's place as well, since a lot of cyberpunk deals with themes of full on hedonism. I feel like that kind of synthetic and energetic music embodies that mix of a synthetic dystopian future full of hedonistic pleasures jacking up your blood pressure, on top of all the violence. But honestly, this song captures the atmosphere at it's best: when it's at rest, and you have nothing left to do and nothing to distract yourself from the weight of a dark and dirty future covered in make-up.
You ever just play a game so different and unique that you just can't stop thinking about it? And you just want more of it? I felt that with this game. After finishing it, I was just left with a feeling I can't really describe. Kinda like emptiness but also joy. I felt that too when I beat a game called Furi. Both were so fun and had great soundtracks and I loved them both so much that when I got to the end, I wanted more of it. Though Ruiner's ending...won't spoil anything but I was left emotionally distraught lol and supposedly there's gonna be a DLC for this game that expands on it so that'll be fun. Idk this song just stood out among the others which were also great but still I love this one. Great game
Furi is great! I love that the storyline is deceivingly clear-cut, which is rare to find nowadays. It also has really great character designs that is just inspiring 👍👍
The question he asked of "what are you gonna do now? Nod or shrug?" and the choices were 'Nod' and 'Shrug' fucking killed me, that was a hilarious little joke in a relatively serious ending, but it didn't feel out of place and try hard-y
Paranesian Circle isn't a new song of his, and it was in the same album Aurora with a "proto-version" of Forces, 舵をとれ, so both of them are roughly from the same time period. New songs of his are both like his 20 years old stuff and different from it...
I feel you. I played RUINER like 2 years before Cyberpunk 2077 came out and I absolutely enjoyed it. It really captures the cyberpunk genre well and the OST is amazing. An underrated gem
Damn, I've waited an entire year to listen to a high quality version of this... Then it turns out it's one of his older songs, after all. :D It's still the best upload quality that I've found.
Hirasawa's album alone should do the trick. The OST is good, but I've spent a fuckton of time with the game and this is the only track that won't ever be boring to me, no matter how many times I hear it.
This song has btw. 4 different version. The first one would be the original on Hirasawa's album Aurora, the second version is on his Haldyn Dome project (good luck finding that, or buying it for ~250$) then there is the 3rd version on his album Hen-Gen-Ji-Zai and then there is this version ofc.
*SPOILERS* Fun fact: The top comment on the video theorizing that the name could be an allusion of the word "Paramnesia" would genuinely fit the Story of Ruiner itself. As the protagonist, being a clone of a different man, literally suffers from implanted, I.e falsified memories. Fun fact x2: I actually listened to Ruiner's Ost perhaps years before actually getting around to play the game. I will not lie, this was one of the first songs that popped up in the ost video after Memories, and I got F L O O R E D, the song itself apart from being just downright beautiful was full of so much unique and surprising moments. Paranesian Cycle Sold the atmosphere of rengkok to me perfectly!
I really want to start sharing this soundtrack. BUT. It's just too good to start sharing it, I don't want to ruin something this good for someone who hasn't experienced it yet. The song and the soundtrack in general is just that pristine and finely tuned. I know I'm not the only one who was awestruck when the 'shift in tone came in. I can't stop mimicking whatever he's saying. It's so fucking perfect. Thank you devolver and raik, you deserve the praise.
I'm just casually listening to various tracks of Susumu Hirasawa, as you do when you've been a fan for many years, and in the middle of work you just noticed it changed in tone and mix you never hear before and what the hell someone put one of the songs in a game?! Is this legit? I recently got the game but hadn't booted it up yet. I will lose my mind if it has this song in it.
The visuals were fucking awesome, the red light, the enviroment, the characters, the music. Just walking around the town made me feel so fucking immersed. Sry for my language, but I really liked that game even with it's fault's tbh
First time I heard it was during my very first time in Tokyo, in a store in Shibuya. It was just...transcendent🤤😌 So imagine my surprise and excitement when I heard it in Ruiner. Pure bliss.🙏
I listen to this song while reading Berserk along with the rest of the soundtrack. This song would be perfect for another Berserk adaptation OST, but most of the soundtrack for Ruiner also fits well surprisingly.
Thought this was just generic background music while I was wandering the city hub, but it turns out it's quite good and meaningful when you actually take time to listen.
Bought it on sale of Devolver’s games, just before Cyberpunk 2077 hits the shelves, and I was so blown away by the game... Such atmosphere combined with brutal gameplay and phenomenal music really make it one of the greatest cyberpunk games for me. Can’t wait to try Observer as well (and CP2077 too whenever I get a better graphics card lol). This track is something else
Not only do they use a Hirasawa soundtrack but also SHE has a pin on her collar with the Berserk Brand on it. You know that the devs are unfathomably based

Uhh, he did new music for the Berserk games.
Super Robot Taisen W features his music via Detonator Orgun being in the cast, it's pretty dope
Yup, check out "Sign" for example, it's ridiculously awesome.
All of the Dreamcast Berserk game OST was made by Susumu. Including a new version of Forces, and the opening song, Indra.
Though as epic as Sign was, Sign 2 was probably the best ending song of all time. Well, Ash Crow comes close for me!
Dude how this small ass dev team managed to convince Hirasawa to join their project is a blessing i'm not gonna question
He didn't write the song for the game, they just licensed it; the song was released in 1994.

@@lonelyshpee7873 I think trying to stray away from sci-fi is likely why this song works so well. A big cyberpunk theme/trope is loss of humanity. This song, at least to me, sounds like a song of loss, mourning, reminiscing, nostalgia, and celebration. Rengkok South was a great backdrop for this song. It's atmosphere evoked this yearning for something lost, a little pocket of people seeking humanity in a world that you would imagine has been sucked dry of it. A lot of cyberpunk music is thought to be some kind of super bass heavy techno, and certainly that's part of it's identity. But Cyberpunk music should also evoke feelings of loss and yearning, nostalgia, etc.
@@HazenMire Perfectly put. I definitely agree that the more energetic "cyberpunk music" does have it's place as well, since a lot of cyberpunk deals with themes of full on hedonism. I feel like that kind of synthetic and energetic music embodies that mix of a synthetic dystopian future full of hedonistic pleasures jacking up your blood pressure, on top of all the violence. But honestly, this song captures the atmosphere at it's best: when it's at rest, and you have nothing left to do and nothing to distract yourself from the weight of a dark and dirty future covered in make-up.
It sounds like future music but it was first released slightly before the mid 90's
You ever just play a game so different and unique that you just can't stop thinking about it? And you just want more of it? I felt that with this game. After finishing it, I was just left with a feeling I can't really describe. Kinda like emptiness but also joy. I felt that too when I beat a game called Furi. Both were so fun and had great soundtracks and I loved them both so much that when I got to the end, I wanted more of it. Though Ruiner's ending...won't spoil anything but I was left emotionally distraught lol and supposedly there's gonna be a DLC for this game that expands on it so that'll be fun. Idk this song just stood out among the others which were also great but still I love this one. Great game
Furi is great! I love that the storyline is deceivingly clear-cut, which is rare to find nowadays. It also has really great character designs that is just inspiring 👍👍
I feel the same in Mirror's Edge
The question he asked of "what are you gonna do now? Nod or shrug?" and the choices were 'Nod' and 'Shrug' fucking killed me, that was a hilarious little joke in a relatively serious ending, but it didn't feel out of place and try hard-y
that feeling is called awe: "a feeling of great respect sometimes mixed with fear or surprise"
For me this was first Dragon Age
Hear a lot of the same musical themes that were present in his music for the Berserk soundtrack 20 years ago. Very interesting.
Sounds more like Indra more specifically to me, gives me that vibe.
in the developer's diary they said that they watched a ton of anime to get inspired for creating the game, so yeah
Paranesian Circle isn't a new song of his, and it was in the same album Aurora with a "proto-version" of Forces, 舵をとれ, so both of them are roughly from the same time period. New songs of his are both like his 20 years old stuff and different from it...
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEN IT'S MAAAAAAAAAAADE BY THE SAAAAAAME GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUY!!! (sing that)
Susumu be spittin' dem mad rhymes at 11:41 :P
Indeed
Susumu Hirasawa one of the best I've ever heard, especially his Berserk music.
Damn the lyrics are godly.
Damn, would be so cool to listen this on spotify while playing in cyberpunk 2077
I feel you. I played RUINER like 2 years before Cyberpunk 2077 came out and I absolutely enjoyed it. It really captures the cyberpunk genre well and the OST is amazing. An underrated gem
@@hntr_official yeah hidden gem it is, at least I am glad that some of ruiner gameplay can be spot in cyberpunk 2077
WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS
ExiStrife hello darkness
Damn, I've waited an entire year to listen to a high quality version of this... Then it turns out it's one of his older songs, after all. :D It's still the best upload quality that I've found.
Hirasawa's album alone should do the trick. The OST is good, but I've spent a fuckton of time with the game and this is the only track that won't ever be boring to me, no matter how many times I hear it.
This song has btw. 4 different version. The first one would be the original on Hirasawa's album Aurora, the second version is on his Haldyn Dome project (good luck finding that, or buying it for ~250$) then there is the 3rd version on his album Hen-Gen-Ji-Zai and then there is this version ofc.
Oh.. I didn't know that but thanks for the elucidation. haha
Really ? Susumu Hirasawa in Ruiner ? Well that's cool.
まさか平沢進が楽曲提供するとは思わなかった…
どこにでも湧く先輩
I love susumu and i think it's great games are featuring him, def gonna play this just for it, and the reviews seem good too
first heard it from ruiner and i’ve been coming back to this song for years now and it just does not get old
Wandering In Rengkok South...
Unfortunately we wont live long enough to see that kind of a future. But hey, at least well have sex robots in a decade or two. ^^
Stefan Voorhout We already have that kind of future if you look hard enough.
SikeSplitter Already be taken advantage of without the cool technology
Cyberpunk 2077 would really benefit from this type of music.
*nods approvingly*
*nods vigorously*
There is some japanese reference in every cyberpunk universe, so It could happen
@@unil1015 I want Akira or Ghost In The Shell references in the game!
@@UnofficialJCDeenton Boi I want a RUINER reference on that game!
Yeah, it's almost impossible to happen, but I still want it :)
2am here, need to get up for work at 7 and im stuck here listening to this on repeat..... gorgeous
*SPOILERS* Fun fact: The top comment on the video theorizing that the name could be an allusion of the word "Paramnesia" would genuinely fit the Story of Ruiner itself. As the protagonist, being a clone of a different man, literally suffers from implanted, I.e falsified memories.
Fun fact x2: I actually listened to Ruiner's Ost perhaps years before actually getting around to play the game.
I will not lie, this was one of the first songs that popped up in the ost video after Memories, and I got F L O O R E D, the song itself apart from being just downright beautiful was full of so much unique and surprising moments.
Paranesian Cycle Sold the atmosphere of rengkok to me perfectly!
I really want to start sharing this soundtrack. BUT. It's just too good to start sharing it, I don't want to ruin something this good for someone who hasn't experienced it yet. The song and the soundtrack in general is just that pristine and finely tuned. I know I'm not the only one who was awestruck when the 'shift in tone came in. I can't stop mimicking whatever he's saying. It's so fucking perfect. Thank you devolver and raik, you deserve the praise.
有一个下雨的午夜，我独自开着车穿梭在城市中，窗外有许多的红色霓虹警示灯，我点起了一根烟，然后迅速找到了这首歌开始播放。
我十分享受那个感觉，我好像打开了那扇island door，然后看到了过去的自己。
This is so beautiful. Currently playing on game pass for pc but i should have bought this at launch.
This game was a blast and the soundtrack was *great*
I should play it again and delve a bit further into it.
What's a beautiful song...
WHAAAAAAAT SUSUMU HIRASAWA?!?!?!?!?!
YEEEEEES SUSUMU HIRASAWA!!!!!!!!!!
This song really made the games atmosphere.
I'm just casually listening to various tracks of Susumu Hirasawa, as you do when you've been a fan for many years, and in the middle of work you just noticed it changed in tone and mix you never hear before and what the hell someone put one of the songs in a game?! Is this legit? I recently got the game but hadn't booted it up yet. I will lose my mind if it has this song in it.
Yes this song is very much in the game.
It's in there but the lyrics are cut and it's just the ambient music in the hub city. It still suits the atmosphere of the city though.
God I hope this'll be a good game.
It's great honestly. It's hard af on the highest difficulty, but I love it.
Spicy Chicken God it is a good game
Game is amazing !!!!!!
It's freaking awesome
Straight from Poland dude!
4:47 damn bruh the hiiiiiiiii really hits different in the game
Shame, When I saw him in the credits I was hoping he'd write some new music. Still, good on them for using this
Same. Maybe just one track, I thought.
One of my favorite tracks from this game. Soundtrack and game are both amazing!
The visuals were fucking awesome, the red light, the enviroment, the characters, the music. Just walking around the town made me feel so fucking immersed. Sry for my language, but I really liked that game even with it's fault's tbh
Just imagine how more trippy it would have been if celldweller or blue stahli helped with this album
Such a good game with such a good soundtrack
I love this game to death. The music is fantastic
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists. Maybe I should take another look at this game
This is the definition of a masterpiece!
I've never played Ruiner but the ost that comes from it, is great. Amazing stuff
I knew I recognized that voice from somewhere! That godlike voice
First time I heard it was during my very first time in Tokyo, in a store in Shibuya. It was just...transcendent🤤😌
So imagine my surprise and excitement when I heard it in Ruiner. Pure bliss.🙏
I would die for a Ruiner Jrpg just so further generations would have it.
The very moment of The Eclipse in Berzerk.
After all these years i finally realized why this song was Simmiliar to some tracks BERSERK used
I just realized.This track reminds me of Berserk!
LookADistarction It's the same composer.
It really does sound a lot alike doesn't it, especially the part towards the end. Kinda like Murder.
I'm so excited to play Ruiner!
*This song always makes my day.*
If i was thinking if should I buy this game this is the answer
I listen to this song while reading Berserk along with the rest of the soundtrack. This song would be perfect for another Berserk adaptation OST, but most of the soundtrack for Ruiner also fits well surprisingly.
i like how the song gets intense on the 2nd half
FROM MINUTE 9:49 SOUNDS LIKE BERSERK SOUNDTRACK
yes i thoug that too, when i heard it its the end game credit in RUINER i was like " wait i know this artist, is he the one making berserk OST ??"
I think it is the same composer
Because is the same composer.
Just amazing!
s-SUSUME HIRASAWA IN VIDEO GAMES!?? *instant like*
he did a soundtrack for god eater i think, i actually don't know
I appreciate the lyrics thanks man !
This game is just tooooo goooood!
Thought this was just generic background music while I was wandering the city hub, but it turns out it's quite good and meaningful when you actually take time to listen.
i still come back to this song every now and then
Bravo what a rendition of the song. When i heard it in game i just stood and listened was awesome
waiting in a boat in Rengkok
Bought it on sale of Devolver’s games, just before Cyberpunk 2077 hits the shelves, and I was so blown away by the game... Such atmosphere combined with brutal gameplay and phenomenal music really make it one of the greatest cyberpunk games for me. Can’t wait to try Observer as well (and CP2077 too whenever I get a better graphics card lol).
This track is something else
This game is fucking amazing and the soundtrack too.
I was listening to this song before this game came out so I am quite surprised that it appeared in a new game
Weirdly enough, the last part of this reminds me of a sped up, synthier version of Pruit Igoe by Philip Glass.
Not only do they use a Hirasawa soundtrack but also SHE has a pin on her collar with the Berserk Brand on it.
You know that the devs are unfathomably based
Can’t believe this was released in 1994.
