Wow, having only discovered this film in 2024, and seeing all these comments from a decade ago! Its amazing how timeless this film really was, regardless of when we watched it, we all had the same experience, and that is truly a testament to how good this film was. For me, this will always be better than Inception.
This movie has inspired ''Inception'' who was nominated for the Oscars but not Paprika and got no credit :( Literally Inception has the same scenes (elevator scene or hallway scene)
This song makes me so happy... and then I get sad because I remember Satoshi Kon died. Rest in peace. Thank you. I hope you are out adventuring with Paprika wherever you are now.
michael scalia that is because the songs that you heard in those moments were different variations of Girl in Byakkoya. the slow version for sad moments, and the fast version for uplift moments. actually nearly every song in Paprika is a variation of the main them of the film "Girl in Byakkoya". he did the same for Millennium Actress where every song was a variation of "Rotation" also known as "Lotus", in the opening of the film, you see that the moon base opens up into a lotus flower making reference to the main theme of the film.
It's actually about dualism and how the person we want to be is suppressed to fit into our boring society and is only seen in dreams. I've seen it a few times and I don't really see the 'ode to woman' thing.
Satoshi Kon worked many themes into his works. Womanhood (especially dealing with the male gaze) and how we hide our "true self" are definitely the two most prevalent ones.
@@archivehans Thanks, I'll have to rewatch with that in mind. I wrote that comment back when I had the idea that there was a "correct" interpretation of something. I didn't really know much about women's issues at the time and didn't really see how what little I understood slotted in to Paprika. I still don't think Paprika is an "ode to woman," but womanhood is a part of it.
@@maplebaconz2122 I don’t know who’s been crapping into your brain, but they lied to you. There is, of course, a “correct” interpretation of things. That would be precisely as the creator intended it and viewed through the specific prism that is the sum of his/her experiences.
IMO the sweetest thing in this film is, that Atsuko loves Tokita for who he is inside, without considering his physical appearance and eating habit. if only all women can see the guys in the same way as atsuko did :p
I knew the soundtrack long before the movie and basically just watched the movie because of its awesome soundtrack. I don't watch anime all that often anymore but this one I had to get on DVD.
I remember hearing the first few seconds of this track in a Vimeo video about Satoshi Kon's editing style (Editing Space and Time) which I showed to my film class.
I wish I could back to before I'd seen the movie to experience that opening for the first time. I remember when the credits rolled at the end of the movie I was genuinely speechless
FYI the actual name of this track is "Mediational Field", not "Nigeru Mono". The track number is correct, as Mediational Field ("Baikaiya" in the original romaji) is the second track but "Nigeru Mono" (translated as "Escapee" on the OST) is the sixth track. I guess someone made a mistake before uploading the OST to the internet to be illegally downloaded and nobody gave a shit about correcting all this. A simple trip to discogs can rectify this, but noooooo....
I have to say, paprica and its soundtrack are amazing. This is just my opinion. Though it was a little confusing at times, i find this movie and soundtrack amazing. Id love to see more like this.
Well now that you've put it that way i rather feel that i haven't done the film justice. A rewatch is in order!!! i'll have a David Lynch viewing guide on hand, it shouldn't be too different :p
This track is rearranged ver of the girl in byakkoya, but they sound sooo different every time I listen to both of them, I have to constantly switch back and forth to compare them
Aa mantarou ga jozetsu ni Hi wo hukiagete Suterareta no ni tastsu Hito wo iwau yo Aa sizukana sizukana Musume no shiya de Aa mishiranu miyako ni hi ga tomori dasu~ Kept singing that throughout because I'm so used to the other song ^_^ (sorry for any misspellings)
Yknow what at this point, Oscars don't mean anything anymore, you only win when you're just lucky and gets recognition from "certain important people" and that's just pure annoying. I am grateful and happy for anime that got nominated for an oscar but in the end, that's it just a nomination and the other masterpieces that didn't get any recognition sucks but also who needs oscar when you get recognition and love and appreciation from the entire world.

I had barely been watching the movie for 5 minutes, and I had to pause it and make sure to find the OST
The Paprika OST was recommended by YT after I spamed Forces. Thanks YT!
Same thing here. Paused the film and searched for the song in youtube
HA YEEEE YAYI FORCES!!! HA YEEEEE YAYI FORCES!
OMG!!! No way Me too! XD
Same. 🙌🙌

you think you control but you control US ALL
Like a shared dream? 😉
@@voodoovixen666Yes
Gotta say, the vibrant colours and cheerful music give the film's darker moments a wonderful edge.
Satoshi Kon. Rest in peace.
wooki33man 😿
I wasn't aware he died... that's sad R.I.P. indeed
@@datei03 Yeah, he died in 2010 before he could finish his next film, Dreaming Machine.
Oh noooo... :(
I loved this film and watched it ages ago. I had no idea he died :(
There is just something so hipnotic in "Paprika"'s design....
She looks so beautiful and having this "curious and cheerish girl" mood
yeah
Its just a cartoon don't get obsessed
@@tigarasab784512 Nah, let them get obsessed. If it's a great cartoon, it deserves. Also, what they said is true
Like all japanese girls uwu
@@obama-bin_laden Cringe
Everytime i watch this film i recognize more details than i did before. To me, Paprika really is a masterpiece.
Thank you and rest in peace, Mr Kon.
Where can you watch the movie??
@@janfiloute_the_noob4045
Did you watched it ?
This song and film should have been nominated for an Oscar !
so true
This movie has inspired ''Inception'' who was nominated for the Oscars but not Paprika and got no credit :(
Literally Inception has the same scenes (elevator scene or hallway scene)
Pray4Harambe and the mirror breaking scene
Lots of hollywood stuff are inspired by japanese animation
Animes will never win Oscars. It's all about the hype, the famous actors, the money.
This song is so stupidly positive and optimistic and energetic.
... I love it.
It makes me happy. ;u;
なんだろう。
爽やかなのに不気味さが同居していて、それでいて聞いてるとワクワクしてくる。
新時代を切り開く太陽の王子様みたいな曲だ。
五人官女もね
@@kuroneko_raiti まるでコンピューター・グラフィックスなんだ、これが！
This song makes me smile and feel that i can do everything... I love it!
Ana Gonzalez Same ! hah
I know right
so happy for u!!!!! i hope ur having a good day today💟
:(
The ecstasy that blooms in synapse is Paprika-brand milk fat. 5% is the norm!
This song makes me so happy... and then I get sad because I remember Satoshi Kon died.
Rest in peace. Thank you. I hope you are out adventuring with Paprika wherever you are now.
Freedom. Freedom for our madness.
can we thank Studio Madhouse and the composer and the director and everybody who worked on this masterpiece to bring life to it?
The composer Is Susumu Hirasawa.
He made the music for Berserk1997 aswell
Can we thank director, composer.and staff that worked on this masterpiece to bring life to it? Not a building
this song is so good omg
Amazing how this song can make me cry in certain moments but laugh so hard in others.
Yeah me too, I think i was the only one !!
Alejandro Maceda i will join ya
Have you watched the movie? The entire thing is one long trip. And surprisingly, you like where it leads.

Wow. Seems like you really know your stuff.
I remember the opening credits and get chills everytime I hear this. This movie is such a beautiful ode to Woman.
It's actually about dualism and how the person we want to be is suppressed to fit into our boring society and is only seen in dreams. I've seen it a few times and I don't really see the 'ode to woman' thing.

@@maplebaconz2122 bro Kon loved using women and the shit they go thru as a massive theme thru out all of his work. Paprika is no different.

I love Susumu Hirasawa work since Berserk.
He was incredible in Paprika too!
I love his work too, Berserk is what made me love his work, "Run" is better, though.....:D
I watched Millenium Actress after Paprika, "Run" is awesome indeed!
Millenium Actress? Run is awesome! Do you know any other ones similar to "Run?" I really liked that one.
Millenium Actress is the movie "Run" was made for, the OST is awesome.
Sorry, I can't remember any...
David Y Rotation Lotus is pretty cool, check it out! Also I recommend Switched-on Lotus
I want a bunch of crabs to sit on me while this music plays
I have a bunch of crabs sitting in my crotch area.
Brendan O'Neill i don't think you are referring to the crustacean are you
Why crabs?
ggutu wait what
早朝の高速道路で爆音で聴いたら気持ちよすぎた
よく考えたらパプリカのオープニングと同じシーンだった
Paprika expanded my mind. Concept of dreams being an alternate physical reality, albeit temporary is fascinating.
what genre of music would this even be considered? Euphoria Overload?
Paprika.
Susumu Hirasawa's music is impossible to categorize
Japanese Electronica. Actually, Paprika. 100%
@@karhu7581 this is why i so love it.
Meow Meow genre
めちゃくちゃ清々しいな
Goddess of songs.

if only all women can see the guys in the same way as atsuko did :p
The facial expression of paprika is kind of like she's inviting you on adventure. Just look at it!
I'm hearing it with my headphones and it sounds so cool
Especially when it pans back and forth quickly like at 3:13
I love this movie with all my heart.
I knew the soundtrack long before the movie and basically just watched the movie because of its awesome soundtrack.
I don't watch anime all that often anymore but this one I had to get on DVD.
Probably my favorite paprika ost
This song is so magical and nostalgic, it's like a good dream it would sound if it had music.
I remember hearing the first few seconds of this track in a Vimeo video about Satoshi Kon's editing style (Editing Space and Time) which I showed to my film class.
every frame a painting??
Mohamed Umar That sounds about right, yeah. Naturally it's been several months since that comment but it's likely that video.
+XXLYS i also found satoshi kon through every frame a paintings video on editing space.....
I wish I could back to before I'd seen the movie to experience that opening for the first time. I remember when the credits rolled at the end of the movie I was genuinely speechless
Amazing film, amazing soundtrack!
Christopher Nolan's *Inception* movie is basically Satoshi Kon's *Paprica* anime, but final and better.
Five minutes of amazing.
Nmh brings me here♡♡
I can feel my heart beats every time when I listen this
Indeed... it was an amazing soundtrack and an amazing film.
This is why anime is wonderful
Oh damn it, I can't just love one thing about this movie about itself it's gotta be the whole thing!
Hirasawa is a living legend.
yes Susumu Hirasawa is the best I love this OST and also the movie Paprika is my favorite anime movie as well as Studio Ghibli ^.^
FYI the actual name of this track is "Mediational Field", not "Nigeru Mono". The track number is correct, as Mediational Field ("Baikaiya" in the original romaji) is the second track but "Nigeru Mono" (translated as "Escapee" on the OST) is the sixth track.
I guess someone made a mistake before uploading the OST to the internet to be illegally downloaded and nobody gave a shit about correcting all this. A simple trip to discogs can rectify this, but noooooo....
I was wondering why they were calling it Nigeru Mono
あれ？なんでだろ、涙が出てくる・・
寝る前にきいてます
夢が侵されないように、どうぞお気を付けて・・・！
あもぉれ パプリカが颯爽と守ってくれますよ、きっと:)
I cannot describe how wonderful this song ..
Thanks for sharing...
Singing into my soul
This song is infinite beauty!
なんかの遊園地での体内BGMっぽい。
楽しいことが始まって、
終わりの時間も来る感じー！
respect this anime..
Dream and memories.
I have to say, paprica and its soundtrack are amazing. This is just my opinion. Though it was a little confusing at times, i find this movie and soundtrack amazing. Id love to see more like this.
I really love this movie, is easier to understand it when you have read about lucid dreams, and about dreams even their meaning, is an amazing movie!!
Satoshi Kon was a genius....and a great artist!
There it is, my new ringtone
This got removed off spotify and i am PISSED
Great movie. outstanding soundtracks
when i listen this song i feel free like i can fly
The girl in byakkoya is other beautiful song:)
NO PLEASE DON'T JUMP OUT THE WINDOW
YOU ARE DREAMING
爽やかなリズムの中にちょっとの狂気が滲み出てる...
Thank you ❤❤❤
なんか洗脳されそう
オセアニアじゃ常識なんだよ！！

Well now that you've put it that way i rather feel that i haven't done the film justice. A rewatch is in order!!! i'll have a David Lynch viewing guide on hand, it shouldn't be too different :p
One the best soundtrack wich Susumu Hirasawa as made!
The Best of paprika
Im feel free to do what im want
노무현! 누구게~
"Was it worth it?
It was worth every goddamn second"
i fly with this song
Unforgettable 🎶🎶🎶
this anime is masterpiece.
🇰🇷 코리아 등장
퍼레이드 송은 이상하고, 기괴하지만 들여다 보고싶은 의구심이 드는 꿈속으로의 초대라면, 파프리카 송은 꿈속으로의 여행이자 현실로 돌아오는 양면성을 가진 느낌이다!
I love this music it's nostalgia memories
When I first heard this song my ears suddenly felt happy.
이 노래를 듣고 있으면 다른 세상속에 온거 같다
this song makes me so happy C: thank you shrapx
It for the reason because it's simple too much for the first time... you have to watch and listen it over and over again...
Grazieeeeeeeeeeee Thanks!!! I love PAprika
So wonderful!
This track is rearranged ver of the girl in byakkoya, but they sound sooo different every time I listen to both of them, I have to constantly switch back and forth to compare them
I loved
August 2024, afer so many years i saw this movie... Masterpice❤❤❤
I heard someone say this is mainly a VOCALOID called Lola
It's the first anime movie to ever use a Vocaloid to make the songs, so yeah, that is correct.
That Susumu dreamlike feel
Love this film
The guy who composed this also did ‘Berserk’ two extremely different genres, however, I hear the resemblance.
I can definitely hear the resemblance. That man is truly a great musician.
i am cry when i hear that song. amazing~
Aa mantarou ga jozetsu ni
Hi wo hukiagete
Suterareta no ni tastsu

Kept singing that throughout because I'm so used to the other song ^_^ (sorry for any misspellings)
this song is so fucking good
this film what an amazing eye opener, also
the best song from a really fuck up but stil good movie
RIP SATOSHI KON 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Yknow what at this point, Oscars don't mean anything anymore, you only win when you're just lucky and gets recognition from "certain important people" and that's just pure annoying.

Gonna make this my ring tone. :3
Without the lyrics you need the feel to fill the blank space by singing and it mane you more hapoy than the original
Joyfulness song!
the English dub of this was actually really good! ^ _ ^
