"Sadness and Sorrow"

By Hyrika

The King of Sorrow, or KoS for short, is a character from Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. He only shows at the end of the game, not much is really said about him. However he makes silhouette appearances in the game, asking for help.

He lives alone in a kingdom that was forgotten in the world of Lunatea, covered by the ocean--the veil. (It's been a long time since I've played this game.)

I found this picture from this video, including the song "Sadness and Sorrow v2" (link in the description for the song.) I also found a remake of the song, "Sadness and Sorrow Remake". Seeing this picture and listening to the song, preferable the remake, really hits you hard. It really gives you an image of him wondering around in his forgotten and bizarre kingdom. Wanting something, looking for help--he gets help by entering Klonoa's dreams, calling for help, but not revealing himself who he is.

Personally, I find these two songs my "theme song". I can just picture myself in school, walking slowly in the hallways while everything around me is nonexistence, wanting something and looking for help, when there was never a chance to find what I wanted and get help.

This picture of Augustus also compliments the song. Snowing outside, thinking/pondering, wanting. isolated. It really makes you wonder what his life is like, what he thinks, if what he is showing on the outside is really him or just a cover of who he really is?

Songs like these really touch me, either lightly or hard, but not always. How they're executed is what really matters to me in order to get a "memory trip" or a "fantasy-memory trip*" from them, and if any pictures can compliment the song.
