【English Cover】As the Gods Say // 神のまにまに【ham • Emmy • Cloudy】

[@BuckBlaziken]

The story behind the visuals of this song is one of my favorite stories from Japanese myth. It basically goes that one day, Amaterasu, the Goddess of the sun, became upset when her brother, the God of the ocean (whose also a trickster god) destroyed her temple in an anger induced tempest. She locked herself away in a cave thinking no one found her important enough. Since there was no sunlight shining on the land, people, animals, crops, and even other gods were dying. So Ame, the Goddess of beauty, threw a loud and rambunctious party outside of the cave to lure Amaterasu out. She danced so much that the leaves that covered her body fell off, leaving her naked. Her beautiful body glistened with sweat which reflected the small amount of Amaterasu’s light, which roused Amaterasu to come out of the cave to ask "Who can be so radiant?". The gods grabbed her and shown her a mirror, showing Amaterasu her own face. Ame, who usually don't admit other people's beauty, said "You, Amaterasu, you are the radiant one here, so please come out of your cave and dance with us all!" . And thus Amaterasu, moved to tear by the compliment joined the party as the guest of honor. EDIT: For anyone wondering, Amaterasu is Bisexual as hell, so she saw Ame's beauty and the story literally says she was captivated and enthralled by it. Another Edit: the 2006 video game Okami is also based on this story!

I didn't realize the backstory of the visuals was a different story at all! This song means so much to me, and this adds a whole layer to it. Thank you! :D

[@littleastronaut99]

I really love this myth, especially when the gods showed Amaterasu the mirror

[@rune1994]

Is it only me who loves the added voices (HAI HAI HAI HAI SUYA SUYA SUYA)

[@Zender22]

You're not the only one. It adds character to this cover. It slaps

[@Clamity_000]

@@Zender22I agree

[@Tartar]

Moral of the story: it's pretty easy to beat depression when you're LITERALLY the sun goddess without whom all life the planet dies, and your friends start from you parties to lure you out of your cave.

[@purebloodedgriffin]

Tartar Also dawn is a stripper

[@Mokat-mz1dm]

Lion Hamster Apparently XD

[@rein1600]

[@roseyuen4796]

I only take pessimism in this ...... Why “gods” ?

[@dakotamartinez8310]

I like this cover. It rhymes, and follows the rhythm. It is nice that they threw a party to cheer her up.

[@calista8639]

Heeeeeey, this is based in a Japanese myth! I watched it on Overly Sarcastic Productions- not like I remember much, but aaaaaaaye. And this is such a beautiful collab! Just the beginning got my attention, all of the eccentric emotion is so vibrant!

[@winterspectre]

I love osp!

[@HikaruHikariKage]

This song is so cute, and you all brought such great energy and enthusiasm to this! What a good!! :D

[@SirHamnet]

Ally YES!!! ITS MY LIFE GOAL!! TO BE A GOOD!!!

[@HikaruHikariKage]

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!! CONGRATS!! also fun fact: at first I accidentally typed 'what a god' which is also pretty apt, tbh!

[@ApocalypticOwl]

So I saw this when it first got uploaded and I didn't know if I wanted to watch it; I love all of ham's work, but this song is one of my favourite songs so I was very scared because I didn't want to be disappointed. But... I loved it so much, the amount of joy and love that this song represents was perfectly done and the light-heartedness of everything was present. How fun, hopeful, and uplifting this song is was so well done. I must say that both versions of this song (original and ham's) are beautiful and I really appreciate ham, Emmy, and Cloudy for covering this song. Amazing work to everyone!

[@ApocalypticOwl]

Sorry for the edit, I messed up Emmy's name and put Emma

[@SirHamnet]

THANK YOU!! i've loved this song since the day it came out too~ THANK YOU FOR GIVING OUR COVER A CHANCE! ♡♡♡

[@purebloodedgriffin]

For those of you unfamiliar with this myth, the sun chucks a tantrum, hides in a cave before being lured out by the goddess of dawn and parties giving her a strip tease (Yes, the sun is gay)

[@elysiankentarchy1531]

"the sun is gay" I need to find some way to drop this into everyday conversation. It is too funny.

[@spiralfeather966]

[@smokeynifty4376]

Ok that’s what this song is based on. thanks

[@MafuMorales]

The sun AND the moon are gay? As they should

[@smokeynifty4376]

Space Cadet it more like the sun is gay and dawn strip teased her

Awesome_Potato-Chan W-WHAT A BEAUITFUL NAME////

[@awesome_potato-chan8822]

Are you sure? Cuz I think my name is cringey :3

[@entropyaware]

I love this cover so much. It feels so fun along with providing such an uplifting message. The entire section starting from "The most important lessons that you'll learn in life Will always come to you during the most troubling times" down to "You are lighting up the world in every way." Is my favorite part lyrically ;__; But especially the last part of it, "So now just take this mirror in your hand Do you finally understand? You are lighting up the world in every way." This video and just exudes the radiance that you are meant to find in yourself, ahhhhh

[@entropyaware]

Confession: I've been looping 0:49 to 0:50 because I love the way Emmy does the "sense" in "It makes no sense."

[@senakoshironui]

I saw Ham post a video? Time to replay yet another beautiful masterpiece until I can learn the words and sing along. Bless you Ham! Keep up the good work this was so cute!~

This is like the myth of (insert name of goddess here cuz I forgot) and the cave. The sun goddess hid in the cave then the god of the moon had the goddess of dawn/ parties strip and made (insert name) come out of the cave.

[@enyafeckenham5730]

amaterasu, i think! and it wasn't just the strip dance, it was the party and the mirror they set up so she could be coaxed out be her own beauty

[@thepinapple8829]

@@enyafeckenham5730 Yup, Amaterasu, who threw a fit because of some other god and shut herself in a cave.

[@BuckBlaziken]

@@thepinapple8829her half brother is the other god who made her upset. Being a trickster god and all, he played a trick which backfired and destroyed Amaterasu’s temple.
