This line comes from Atelier Iris 2, the Japanese role-playing game in the Atelier series, where the original Japanese dialogue is rendered in English as Goodnight Forever. In context it marks a parting that feels permanent, which gives the short clip a weight beyond its length. Shared through gaming soundboards and meme edits, it has become a shorthand farewell for creators who want a bittersweet ending without explaining the scene. Its appeal endures because the tone is instantly readable as a goodbye, even for viewers who do not know the game.
About this sound
The Japanese voice line 'kore de owakare da' from Atelier Iris 2, meaning goodbye forever, used as a dramatic farewell sound in gaming edits and meme videos.
A short Japanese voice clip from Atelier Iris 2, this line is spoken as a final, melancholy goodbye and carries the weight of a farewell that will not be undone. The delivery is calm and deliberate rather than shouted, with a soft, resigned tone that makes the moment feel bittersweet instead of angry. Lasting barely more than a second, it lands quickly and cleanly, giving editors a way to close a scene, end a character arc, or signal a goodbye without needing dialogue around it. Listeners recognise the sadness in the voice even without translation, which is why it works so well as an emotional punctuation mark.
