Translation notes:
A lot of the lyrics in this song are referencing things specific to the Edo period, which is why I left them in their original form.
-Kabukimono were Edo-period eccentrics who attracted a lot of attention with their "slanting, or deviating" clothing, hairstyles, and behavior.
-Ukiyoe, literally meaning "illustration of the floating world", are Edo-period Japanese color woodblock prints of everyday life in the Edo period.

Just played this song on proseka, and is now my top 5 favorite vocaloid song ever

[@maryglaser9256]

me to🤭🤭

[@PengalihKADYUGI]

same it's my #1😋😻

[@KenjaTimu]

Found so many awesome vocaloids from Proseka. I only knew Deco27. I don't about top 5. For vocaloid you need a top 1000 and in no particular order. There are so many. Is this better or worse than Tokugawa Noodles? How do you compare? Completely different songs. What about Rolling Girl? Hard to compare.

[@danii1.]

It’s extremely wild to me that people are just now getting into vocaloid (got into it in 2009), especially bangers like tokio funka, through proseka. Not sure how I feel about it but I’m so glad many more people can enjoy the music now at least ^_^

[@KenjaTimu]

@@danii1. I live in America. I tell people about Vocaloid and they don't even know such a thing exists. I show them video of Hatsune Miku performing live.

[@squiddyproductions2150]

This kinda reminds me of the opium addiction era in china and then they burned it all in the center of the town to get rid of the addiction, and literally the whole town got super high (hence the purple fog in this song)

[@dcgumbrecht]

Squiddy Productions ; This song is about Gumi who is annoyed by people getting drunk and doing immoral stuff because it's screwing up future generations. Perhaps the purple fog really does resemble opium and whatnot, but it could also represent ignorance?

[@abstractotaku8903]

Dacia Gumbrecht 1. Thats looking to far into it. 2. Originally it wasn't a gumi song i don't think.

[@vikli5966]

Abstract Otaku It’s a gumi original

[@that_treat]

Irony, I love it.

[@MolotowCocktail24]

Dacia Gumbrecht i dont know, it doesnt really have a judging tone to it, its more like she just observes the happenings rather than actively judging it. More importantly she seems to enjoy it herself actually, but with the ambivalence of morals at hand

[@parkerdurrington9921]

Doing some background history research this song really shows how dark of a time the Edo Period in Japan was. A whole knew meaning to this song after know this!

[@mabelpines1533]

I hope that one day I can be even 3% as cool as Gumi

[@nxlinx]

Same fam

OMG I FOUND YOU FOR THE 4TH TIME NOW XD

sry but that is humanly impossible

[@tiagoalmeida8549]

Mabel Pines You're mabel Pines. You're already cool as shit. You could say you're on the same level as gumi

[@leenolantern]

noone can be as cool as gumi is in this song

[@am0possum]

I love this song so much a mix of traditional Japanese music and dubstep

[@ThisCanBePronounced]

Though there are a lot more ingredients there than those two!

[@dyssania]

Irene Gamer Try listening to YoiYoi Kokon;)

[@AmandaDixson]

It's actually Chinese.

[@Iamnotfallen]

yeah, because we all know its "Bejing funka" not "Tokio funka" like the name says XD

[@loganpatriquin9443]

@@AmandaDixson I dunno the shamisen and the very obvious japanese drum stile tell me otherwise.

[@STPmanga]

Watching this video makes me wonder, how much of time and effort the artist put in this video and what talent that artist has..

[@SaleenSundria]

The scenery probably took awhile, But Gumi is just a static figure, so it wouldn't be that hard to animate her mouth

[@hawaiidkw1]

Takamatt is the Peter Gabriel of Vocaloid videos. Pretty much everything he does is grand and colorful and memorable. Can't recommend him enough.

[@novakiaki]

you know those songs that just make you feel super-cool. this is one of them

[@afiqh9909]

Im now the cool kid. Cos i just knew of it in 2021

[@vivitapozo]

The best vocaloid.. She is perfect for all kind of music..

[@YuyuHakurei]

Like rap/enka/techno and pop! XD

[@aisekrem3216]

I dunno, man, there are lots of songs where Gumi's just not suitable for (saying this as a Gumi fan)

[@jemajoy8839]

@@aisekrem3216 yeah but Gumi goes well with many than others

[@cristhiantupaznt6108]

If well-tuned, I think she actually does. The only thing I hate of her is when somebody makes she sing very high pitched notes and... Gumi is one of worst vocaloids for very high pitched notes in my opinion.

[@deadaccount5944]

I love the mix of traditional Japanese music and modern music in this song! It gives it that extra flare and makes it more unique :)

[@acertainanimetheorymakingg3875]

Makes it sound like it came out of a really cool anime.

[@deadaccount5944]

LukatheRageKitty I know right! :)

[@Sennith]

BlueButterfly I'd love to know if there is a term for this kind of mash up of modern and traditional Need more of this stuff

[@deadaccount5944]

Sennith Indeed! :3

[@roriitorii]

BlueButterfly pssst listen to MASA-P they have a KZbin channel and make creepy Japanese music with modern beats and traditional styles!

[@monobear7358]

Honestly Gumi is one of my favorite vocaloids.

I know danganropna

[@yukiwatanabe9083]

[@KTheAnon]

*Tokio funka is one of the songs that made me meet vocaloid, and Gumi, the best vocaloid ever, of course. This song has such awesome rhythm and tuning for her, not to mention the MV! It’s incredibly pretty aswell with the art being mysterious,and it’s still one of my favorite songs ever* *I came back here because two characters from a game I really like covered it, and it reminded me of a how much I loved this song back then! Which…by back then I mean 3-4 years ago- so not a lot, still, props to this song!*

[@saracurran4635]

This is a great song; it has a unique and catchy fusion of traditional Japanese music and electronic dubstep, and it has rather convincing rap pieces for a synthesizer.

[@hawaiidkw1]

Things I learned from this song: 1. Techno and enka make for an amazing combination. 2. Dubai isn't the only place with a thing for pointless oversized towers. 3. Gumi could look sexy in a garbage bag. UPDATED!: 4. None of the _good_ Vocaloid songs get to be in MMD Cup. Eazy Dance is looking more and more like a fluke.

[@arashineko1434]

7 years later and this song is still soooooo freaking good.

[@carrottop9304]

Anyone else think Gumi could be a mortal kombat character based off this song?

[@0mppuu336]

Yes

[@zakiyahasan4698]

I totally agree with you. We should make a mod that will let us play Mk as gumi.

[@greulich9635]

+Hatsune miku not mortal kombat. but skullgirls would fit her perfectly

[@matrixiekitty2127]

+Hatsune miku YESH PLZ

[@shrekisloveshrekislife583]

+Hatsune miku also include kagamine rin because of all her dark songs XD

[@fake00ut]

THIS JUST CAME OUT ON ENG PJSEKAI YESTERDAY ITS SO FUN IM GLAD THEY PUT THIS IN THERE

[@quartise08]

No matter how much time passes, this song is still such a masterpiece.

[@mintycielle7791]

always come back to this song no matter what year it is

[@rodrigo655]

“The establishment of the Tokugawa order did not happen without protest among the samurai themselves and without the appearance of opposition groups, among which the kabukimono provide a most interesting occurrence- very much like the British “punk” phenomenon of the seventies and early eighties… The verb kabuku, used since the middle ages with the meaning of “to slant,” or “to tilt,” had acquired, by the beginning of the Tokugawa era, a slang usage for any anti-establishment action that defied the conventions and the proper rules of behavior. The kabukimono were therefore people who expressed their anti-conformism through a series of protests against the established order, which ranged from high unusual ways of dressing to shocking hairdos and extravagantly decorated, enormous swords… To the Tokugawa regime kabuki meant subversion and heresy, something immoral and dangerous…” Benito Orlotani, “The Japanese Theatre: From Shamanistic Ritual to Contemporary Pluralism”

[@melancholystreet]

hmm 😊very interesting

[@レン-u6p]

Ok but why is no-one talking about how much work you did crediting people contributed in this vid??/// amazing job!!

[@lordofzooprog]

8 years and i still get goosebumps every time i hear this song

[@LadyIno]

I want an Anime with this setting *_*

[@IceQueen975]

Samurai Jack has very similar aesthetics.

[@victoriagasca6258]

Samurai Champloo, Memoirs of a demon Hunter girl

[@SaleenSundria]

I'm late, but Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East is a good one that's... Well, I can't really tell what era it is, sometimes it looks modern, sometimes it looks really old and sometimes it looks traditional, but it's still a good watch.

[@ethsinkoh]

part 3 of the story i’m working on actually has a moment where the characters are in this kind of area

[@aeiztaloraezi7687]

If anyone is still curious.. The twelve episode anime Mononoke has a few themes similar to this (plus a pretty kickass amv someone made with this song ngl-)

[@DianaBi_L]

This is the one of my favorite vocaloids))) Gumi`s voice is so beutiful! I`m so much like her voice! 😍

[@Akatuski2000]

I find this epic traditional mixed with modern this just to much handle this is just pure genius

[@asyraf14ful]

I got this song stuck in my head like, since last year. And here I am, making the very same song stuck in my head again.. I just can't help it. The song is much epic. And I like oriental music so much~!!!! And here it was mixed with modern music AHHHH eargasm

[@UnseenDanger101]

Honestly, i have probably found some of my favorite vocaloid songs by chance and this definitely goes on that list.

[@WillowHeart]

Wow such a cool song... so many different elements that blend together beautifully.

[@amyg6930]

I've been looking for this song for YEARS after mostly dropping out of vocaloid music, FINALLYYYY IT'S SO GOOD

[@James-gj8rn]

My favourite GUMI song still now, i love the mix of traditional Japanese music and EDM influences :) (and GUMI's tuning is immaculate)

[@LilEuphie]

This reminds me a bit of Okami... just because those green and red creatures look a lot like Imps from that game.....

[@okami6399]

I agree, some of the music sections seemed to he perfect for an Okami boss battle and I always pictured Rao sounding kind of like how Gumi is sounding in this.

[@LilEuphie]

Definitely.

Another song that would be cool to have on a Vocaloid dancing game. You reading this game developers? I would be willing to buy a game that let' me dance to vocaloid, now make it! Seriously I should get a Kick-starter or something for that...

[@Thetiredteddy]

There is .It's called ;"Project Diva".

[@acertainanimetheorymakingg3875]

Back to Black So they made them like Let's Dance now? I know they used to be more of a rhythm game.

[@darkchii30]

Back to Black Except its a Crypton Vocaloid only game and since Gumi is Internet Co. She wouldn't be in it. Plus Project Diva is a rhythm game and not a actual dancing game.

[@Thetiredteddy]

darkchii30 Really?Sorry,I messed up.😖

[@callie5180]

darkchii30 Actually, Correct if I'm wrong but in the newer project divas for 3ds GUMI is in them? Granted its a song where she'd with Miku but?

[@catattack7639]

I LOVE THIS SO MUUCCHH IT ONLY MAKES IT 100% BETTER THAT GUMI IS SINGING

[@GabrielAKAFinn]

Gumi reminds me of a Nurarihyon in the Hyakki Yagyō with all those demons behind her, and the way she dissapears when the sun rises (At least I think the sun rose, things got brighter). I wonder if that was the inspiration? Really awesome song!
