For added atmosphere, play this music while reading on. Specifically using music for nostalgic reminisces or flashback scenes, in the form of a music box. There's usually a fair amount of pining for lost innocence and/or love. The opposite of Ominous Music Box Tune when the tune sounds much more sinister...though the two dovetail into each other quite often. See also Snow Globe of Innocence. Examples |

Midori Days: Midori has a music box on her bedside table where her real body is lying comatose. Its melody is heard once or twice coming from the box itself when her mother opens it, but the rest of the time the melody is used in Midori's flashbacks. | |

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island has an opening theme that sounds as though it is being played on a music box (it even slows down at one point, and has to be rewound).

Anastasia, like the movie it's adapted from, features the Orphan's Plot Trinket music box given to the title character as a child; the entire score was expanded or re-written to make the score more fitting for a fully-fledged stage musical but not only did the music box's theme stay the same, it became a Leitmotif that reoccurred several times and in several songs throughout the show. | |

Speed Grapher: When alone, Suitengu obsessively plays a music box with a melancholic tune and thinks about his past. This ultimately leads to a flashback indicating this is the only possession left from his happy childhood, which was destroyed by loan sharks. Making things interesting, Saiga, the hero, independently whistles the same tune, foreshadowing the fact there's a connection between himself and Suitengu. | |

The Muv-Luv series of visual novels has A World To Protect, a rearrangement of the main theme. It first plays in Unlimited when Takeru realizes that his memories of his home world and Sumika are fading due to him "going native", it then plays in Alternative when Takeru, suffering from PTSD, breaks down and cries in Marimo's lap while the latter comforts him. | |

Undertale has two music box-style themes on its soundtrack: The minor-key "Waterfall" theme plays through many of the areas of Waterfall, particularly those with the inscriptions and Echo Flowers recording the monsters' memories and unfulfilled wishes. Another such motif, "Memory," can be heard coming from a certain statue in Waterfall. You have to play the tune on a piano in order to access a secret item. The leitmotif it plays, which receives a more upbeat remix in the final area as "His Theme," belongs to Asriel Dreemur, Toriel and Asgore's son, the former identity of Flowey, and the True Final Boss of the Pacifist route. |

One or two of the minigames present outside the main adventure of Super Mario 64 DS (such as the Loves Me Not game) have a music box arrangment of the water level theme from the original game play in the background. The Lumas' theme from Super Mario Galaxy is a bittersweet music box tune that plays when Rosalind reads the Lumas the story of how she came to become their queen when she was a child. Bonus points for being played as the universe is crushed into a supermassive black hole. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island has an opening theme that sounds as though it is being played on a music box (it even slows down at one point, and has to be rewound).

In Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, one of these plays during The Reveal. In this case, the music isn't the symbolic part, it's the Elysian Box itself, which finally fulfills its original purpose of carrying a message from Anton to Sophia and back. Of course, it's less on the nostalgia and more on the what could've been. The music box track, Iris, is used a few minutes later in orchestrated form for the end credits. | |

Final Fantasy Final Fantasy V: Bartz has a music box in his old home in Lix. Never mind that he's listening to it and recalling the night his mother died while a squatter bard sits there impassively . . . it's still a pleasant tune. Final Fantasy IX has a phonograph music box at the Inn in the Black Mage Village. If you have certain special items purchased at the auction house in Treno, it will play pieces from earlier Final Fantasy titles corresponding to the special items. |

For a Few Dollars More used two pocket watches, one belonging to Mortimer and the other carried by Indio, that played the same haunting melody, which was incorporated masterfully into the Ennio Morricone score. As it turns out, Indio's watch once belonged to Mortimer's sister, whom Mortimer seeks to avenge. | |

Sad and sentimental scenes with Ilya in Fate/stay night (including her flashback as she lies dying in UBW) uses a music-box version of "Die Lorelei", a German folk song, as background music. It's used to underline Ilya in her innocent and humanizing moments, which becomes a source of Lyrical Dissonance since the original song is about a siren who uses her beautiful song to drown sailors. | |

Chrono Trigger's nostalgic theme is eventually expanded upon in at least one of the endings, in a song called "To Good Friends" - it starts off identically but eventually segues into a fully-orchestrated arrangement of the same theme, and it is beautiful. | |

Used frequently in the Klonoa series. Fitting, considering the games' theme of dreams: Door to Phantomile and the Video Game Remake: The main menu music is a relaxing tune played on what sounds like a cross between a music box and bells. "Grandpa's Chair", the Leitmotif of Klonoa's kindly grandfather, is a very calming, yet sad, music box song. It plays again, only this time, slower, when Grandpa is dying after Joka's ambush. A music box is also used for many short jingles, such as when Klonoa and Huepow first discover the magical Moon Pendant. Empire of Dreams: A slow, whimsical tune is played for the main menu music. A much sadder music box is played during Emperor Jillius' Disney Death. |

Professor Layton: In Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, one of these plays during The Reveal. In this case, the music isn't the symbolic part, it's the Elysian Box itself, which finally fulfills its original purpose of carrying a message from Anton to Sophia and back. Of course, it's less on the nostalgia and more on the what could've been. The music box track, Iris, is used a few minutes later in orchestrated form for the end credits. In Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, a music box tune plays when Henry remembers the time when he and Randall first became friends. |

Dōkyūsei uses one such track, titled "Graduation", as its main menu music. This is quite fitting, since DÅ�kyÅ«sei is fundamentally a story that plays on nostalgia for summer vacations back in one's youth, as well as the game itself being a remake of a classic game that many players would probably have fond memories of. | |

The monkey music box in The Phantom of the Opera. It comes up in the prologue as the first item associated with Christine and what happened in the bowls of the opera. The tune it plays is "Masquerade", the opening number for the second act. (In that big dance with massive decorated costumes, some dancers wear monkey costumes in reference to it.) It is used as a nostalgic music box during the finale, when it begins to play down in the Phantom's lair and he, despairing, remembers the words of the song: "Hide your face so the world will never find you." | |
