This song is full of hideous metaphors. For example,"rai rai" is hayashikotoba(meaningless refrain used to maintain the rhythm of song),but Rai also meant Leprosy in the old days. "mata hiraite" is maybe double entendre that means "release again"and "spread her legs". Songwriter of this song is genius.

According to the Japanese folklore, a cat gains supernatural power if they live beyond a hundred years. Those supernatural cats are called "Necomata"(猫又, two-tailed cat) It is said that necomata can be distinguished from ordinary cats by their biforked tail and the fact that necomata close doors before leaving.

[@Ambipie]

and, that nekomata cats grow the second tail at age 10. an underage prostitute with two tails

Facts

[@OcarinaLink24]

For those of you about to fuss about the lyrics not being 'right', just remember, PDF2nd's translators dumbed down all the lyrics that had any sexual innuendos. In Suki Kirai they took the line where Rin calls Len a 'pervert' and changed it to 'weirdo'. There are many other instances, but that's just the easiest one to point out. In short, trust these lyrics more than you trust the 'official' ones....

[@cdm966]

Miracle Paint was filled with sexual innuendos. Which is weird because it is the only one that has any sexual innuendos. The game is rated Teen, I don't see why they changed what they did. Hell, Kagerou Daze didn't get translated at all...which I'm actually kinda happy about, because the dumbed down lyrics would have ruined it for me.

[@OcarinaLink24]

[@samantharenton3084]

I know! The song that annoyed me the most was Romeo and Cinderella. I don't get how that song could get away with "sexy" as it was described at Miku Expo! It's a good thing I'm not the only one who knows those lyrics were dumbed down.

woo... when you understand the true meaning of the song, it's kinda traumatizing...even more when u know it's actually happening right now, at the moment,and everyday, somewhere in the world...

[@avidpaintwatcher]

Whats the meaning of the song?

[@sls9924974]

BloodRedWolfV3 im not sure myself :S , but if you want, you can you go check some of the comments and after relook at the video and read the subs for more infos and details. ^_^ it would seems that it's about prostitution and abuse on young girls. Some of them are under age and become pregnant by being raped. Plus, because there're too young to "make" a baby, what's await them is death, by giving birth... :S about what i said, that it's traumatizing, it's because at the right moment, such dirty things like that actually happens everydays. I know I can be wrong, but i truly believe it happens more often than we would think in the world... :( (sorry for my bad English...)

[@avidpaintwatcher]

[@RingofRoses]

OK so I think this is about child prostitution. The three legged cat could possibly represent all of the 'customers' that Miku has to entertain *cough naked cough*. The 'flowers secretly blooming' is supposedly the pregnancies that the children had to undergo and were unwanted- when she mentions the skull expecting, I think its supposed to be a metaphor for an abortion- perhaps one she had to undergo. As in an abortion, the mothers would give birth to a dead child. The eyes on her hands could be associated with the Tenome- a monster originating from folklore where a blind man was unjustly killed. Then resurrected full of revenge and evil with eyes on its hands so it could seek out and devour the perpetrators. Miku also mentions a pine tree with a collar for swinging- possibly a noose. Therefore, Miku may have hung herself after being forced to have an abortion, and has returned as a vengeful spirit in order to enact revenge on those who wronged her. Or, as Rakshasa are evil creatures driven by pleasure and discontent, they are the the people that Miku and the prostitutes have to serve. Miku has seen the carcasses of many children who herself and her peers had to bear and probably then abandon or abort. She is envisioning herself as a vengeful spirit (Tenome) in order to deal with the horrific things she has to go through and is possibly plotting revenge against them. Sorry for that mind vomit I have spent too long studying ^__^

[@minhhoang347]

Ring of Roses OK. How about this explaination? First of all, let's start with the ending speak of the fox-masked men: The rakshasa drinking blood from the python. It could be a connection with the incident of the python dead near the gravestone. I assume that the Rakshasa represented a powerfull figure, who had done something awfull to climb up top.He has been killing one of his henchmen(python) because he wanted to turn-tail and surrendered himself to the gorvener. Because he was dead, he couldnt tell anything he had mentioned to the snake who claimed he had something to say to him. It may happened in a children day( the skull was expected in the belly of carp-streamer which is used in that day mostly). Because of that incident. the girl who was eye-witnessed the murder(may be she was also the daughter of the victim) was traumatized. The three-legged cat, the stupas may represent the minion of the rakshasa, who tried to make her mouth shut by tempting her(the word may not correct but i'm out of words to describe it) with "fun" and "candy". But she refuse. She turned unsocialized with the other. Even in the game of hana ichimonme( they translate it in to flower in sold :D ) she was the only one left, because no one pick her in their team. They harrashed her, "pranking" on her ( for being different i suppose, how "innocent" the kids are,otherwise it's the case of what is the deal of the other'misery). In her mind there is only thing that keeping haunting her: "You think that is none of your bussiness?" But she can not run away from it. The cat from tempting, turned to threatening. "Let's concieve a child". It's a rape threat. Resistance was made but none was effect. She can have only choice:"the belly (which was skulls inside) will empty tommorow. She choose silent for the safety of her own. Nothing she had seen. Nothing she would testify agaist. The silent of the withness is tragic because the murder roam free around. The public seem to be not supported her, which also contributed to her decision.

I never realized that some of the designs in this music video are innuendos to designs found on Hanafuda Cards...interesting... Besides that, I still love Hachi’s songs. Each and every one of them are so interesting, and they’re all still catchy to this very day.

[@dachickensandwich]

"innuendos" imply that it's something inappropriate, I think these would just be "references"

[@IngaAkatsuki]

Guys, all in all, this song is by HACHI. (Panda Hero, Matryoshka, Lynn, Mrs.Pumpkin, etc), so that means not only is there such intricate meaning, but at the same time basically no reason to look for the meaning at all. There's so many ways it can be taken, whether Hachi said what it's about or not - his work ALWAYS has some sort of twists where it bends your mind.

[@roadtriiip]

I think this might be about how at first, the world looks comepletely innocent and fair, but later on it reveals itself to be sometimes violent and cruel. Just my personal opinion here, feel free to have your own.

[@rosen_venus]

I was curious why the title of this song varies so often and now I'm wondering how this translator came to interpret it as "Hold, release." From my understanding it's more aptly translated "Tie, untie" (More literally "Tie" (as in fasten) and "Open" (as in unfurl). And carcasses should probably be corpse since it's referring to human remains specifically. But I still don't understand where "Hold, release" comes from nor why some translations have it as "Open, close" (I mean, I guess it's closer but it's very clearly implying a different meaning?)

[@person4636]

I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to say like “release again” or “spread her legs”

[@LeonKerensky]

i love how this song has a wonderful mixture of a sense of mischif and allurement masking an underlying feel of something horrifying. the lyrics, the tone of the song, and even miku's charming voice with an eerie tune work perfectly, i guess i should expect this much for a theme involving a nekomata

[@selenophilia3945]

I made some lyrics! (Well, I tried anyways..) Late the other night, a cat with three legs smiled at me, “Hello mademoiselle, could you come and play with me?” The scarlet collar wrapped around his neck ever so tightly. Can not serve as his one missing leg, sadly. _Ya ya ya ya iya iya iya_ Late the other night, a rank of stupas sang in chorus, “Hello mademoiselle, could you come and dance with us?” Down on the ground wild flowers secretly flourish Frowning and whining with soft petals so lush On their backs, carp streamers flail in the wind. Skulls are expected to appear again. _Yai Yai_ Lets hack around while innocent. _Yai Yai_ Laughing loudly as you can. _Rai Rai_ Hold it in and then release it. _Rai Rai_ Rakshasa and carcasses. 1 and a 2 and a 3, Release it again softly. 5, 6, and 7 Put your hands up high. On the pine tree, a collar will keep swinging-ing. So let, let, let us hold them close and tight. Late the other day, by a grave, passed a giant python. His relatives nearby started to argue on and on. “He promised that he had something to tell me before he died." But dead men are very good at keeping all their lies. _Ya ya ya ya iya iya iya_ Late the other day, a group of girls had stood in a line. The guys with flowers bought the cute ones off, one at a time. In the very back was a filthy girl that had been left last She wept but no one gave any sympathy as they passed. _Yai Yai_ Let us go and make some mischief _Yai Yai_ Hop and dance around again _Rai Rai_ Hold it in and then release it _Rai Rai_ Rakshasa and carcasses 3 and a 2 and a 1 Kill off your breath quietly 7, 8, and 10 Hold them closely as you can Even the tallest towers could not prevent the scalding A cat softly closes the door behind him as he leaves You should know that all of it is none of your concern! (...) You should know that all of it is none of your concern! (...) You should know that all of it is none of your concern! (...) What’s the point in knowing how sad *all the others are*??!!!! _Yai Yai_ Let’s go have ourselves a baby _Yai Yai_ Mix it well, go up and down _Rai Rai_ A B C D E, Enchantment _Rai Rai_ Rakshasa and carcasses 1 and a 2 and a 3 Release it again softly 5, 6, and 7 Put your hands up high When the bird comes, it will cry out, “hera hera” 1 and a 2 and a 3 Tomorrow, I’ll see you again 1 and a 2 and a 3 Tomorrow, I’ll see you again

A cat, who has lost a leg, is snickering this way: "The young lady over there, let's play!" The red string tied to its collar cannot possibly be used in place of its lost leg. Ya, ya, ya, ya, I, don't, wanna! A row of lined-up stupas are singing: "The young lady over there, let's dance!" The flowers sneakily blooming underfoot are grimacing and grumbling. The carp streamers are showing their bellies, inside which heaps of skulls are buried. Yai, yai, shall we go play? Yai, yai, smile, simle. Rai, rai, join up, open up. Rai, rai, the Rakshasa and the corpse. One, two, three, and again open up. Five, six, seven, and raise your hands up high. A collar tied to a pine tree, hanging and swinging, let's all join up together, everyone together! The lowly python dies at the foot of the gravestones. The assembled relatives of the dead have begun fighting. "I made a vow with him when he was still alive!" No matter what you claim, the dead will never talk. Ya, ya, ya, ya, I, hate, this. Please buy all these pretty flowers, one after another, buy away all these cute children. The unsold ones are the unrefined ugly ones; they are crying in a corner, unnoticed by anybody. Yai, yai, shall we play a prank? Yai, yai, dance, dance. Rai, rai, join up, open up. Rai, rai, the Rakshasa and the corpse. Three, two, one, and hold the breath. Seven, eight, ten, and again join up. Bearing burns not even blacksmiths can endure, the cat now goes to close the open sliding door. In the end, it's all other people's business. In the end, it's all other people's business. In the end, it's all other people's business. About others' misfortune, we'll just feign ignorance. Yai, yai, shall we conceive a child? Yai, yai, be lost, be lost, in this world. Rai, rai, captivated by the vanity of the world. Rai, rai, the Rakshasa and the corpse. One, two, three, and again open up. Five, six, seven, and raise your hands up high. Before the rooster can start crowing, my belly will be empty. One, two, three, see you tomorrow! One, two, three, see you tomorrow!

I love this song I dont care if it's really dark and fucked up It's a bop

[@maysar4159]

I listened to this song a million times, then i played Yume Nikki and i see the fanart and i can't stop thinking of the hands XD

[@sabitsukiheck6217]

A bit late but hi fellow yume nikki fan! Also "a rainy town where balloons dance with devils" reminds me a LOT of yn and .flow

[@yansuki476]

Dang it Cecile. This is why we let Victor do things. Go Desert Bluffs.

I can't believe I was 8 when this video came out. How nostalgic 😊

[@Away-Net]

This song just screams MASA to me

[@lianne7976]

i think this music is giving something story i don't know why its so cruel and something terrifying about japans i just hear it up hehe Rakshasa meaning = The Terrifying Demonic Ogre Monster Carcasses = The Terrifying sex kill monster two of them just a very scare monster to woman but this song is absolutely tell something story about cruelly sexual that was do to woman in japan

[@hanahq2132]

the fact that a song about child trafficking got onto project Dva is incredible to me. Like who thought that was a good idea!?

[@tzctlpc]

The author, Hachi, when Miku was talking about babies, literally means the babies have skulls in their chest. Hati is a genius. edit: the kids, Hide, Run, & Escape,from Azakaku No Watashi ni Mirai （痣角の私に未来), had made a group named “Masukiretsu” (demons of short to tall) from, Hide to Escape.

think this stuff is scary? watch ward room 305 and in a rainy town balloons dance with devils :)

Cristiana Lieto YES. THAT was creepy.

[@lenka4554]

Cristiana Lieto I agree~

[@rakurai.densetsu]

I think just Ward Room 305 is enough cause this song is a continuation of In a Rainy Town Balloons Dance With Devils :3 in my opinion they don't even scary :)) just creepy while I lol throughout the whole song :)) Is that considered creepy?

[@metalmaiden9703]

Cristiana Lieto More like watch Bacterial contamination, Okaasan, and the Spider and the Kitsune-like Lion. =＾● ⋏ ●＾=

[@katerina7264]

MIKU.H None of those are scary at all. After watching the Spider and the Kitsune Like Lion for like a few days, the fear goes away c;

[@WindBelmont3rd]

ive been looking into such legends and trying to find things like this in any kind of legends trying to trace it back to a semi well known character that is seen in videos recently tormenting a certain person.

[@FayeLawnKrack3d]

I dunno, but the "one, two, three, see you again tomorrow" part of the song reminds me of the custom of having to meet an Oiran (Japanese courtesan) three times to get her services.

[@freeeeeeeez]

For whoever doesn't knows, Miku in this song is meant to be a prostitute. And since there's a part where you can hear Len's voice answering her, I imagine that Len would be her boss...

[@furry_trash4542]

Wait... in which part can you hear his voice?

@@arielruh7773 Thank you! It's not really creepy, but I never heard Len in that part.

[@xSkyGyrlx]

There is definitely something sexual going down with this song. Prostitution? Child slavery or pedophilia? The cruelty of the innocent o.o ??? Necrophilia?? I don't think I understand Japanese culture enough to get the symbolism, somebody gimme a hand xD What's going down in this song?!?

[@AngelBeats160]

It's about prostitution basically, child prostitution. In a nutshell, that's what it's about.

[@AngelBeats160]

It's open for interpretation as all music is of course. Some people got different meanings of it. There can be different perspectives. But to me at least that is what it is about.

[@0325hjs]

SkyGyrl Once Hachi said that it was about how childish innocence can become destructive, but many fan theories state that it's about the tragical condition of Japanese prostitutes, especially child prostitutes.

[@xSkyGyrlx]

Cristiana Lieto Is it a dated thing or a more modern thing? Cause yikes that's just.. D: sad

[@0325hjs]

SkyGyrl Well, I don't know. But that's sad, you're right. Sad and creepy. (this actually gave me more sleepless nights than cries in my sleep. but if that's what you think...)

[@caarlacel]

i love the artstyle, i love the song i love everything about this song idk i just love it

[@rinarinarina_]

I know this is a hachi song but, why does miku look like akari from masa works design?

[@Raven-uu7lb]

My mom mad at me and asked me why I listening to Vocaloid becoz of that girl... So I showed her this video with lyrics. Idk why she's quiet now.

[@DarkRuby]

That is agreeable. Cause the younger voices can be pretty talented at providing a 'creepy' effect this video was going for. But since no one really tries with the older/deeper voices, no one really knows well which does better. And you are right, I still enjoy the song despite the fact.

If you have a filthy mind, much of this song could be interpreted as a story of prostitution. (Cat is slang for prostitute)

3:37 - You see at the end where it says "hara hera", that's essentially meaning "womb collapse". These only usually happen old women when the muscles and tissue holding it to the pelvis becomes weakened. However, with a previous line mentioning "let's make a baby" as if it wasn't her idea, and miku in the PV not looking over 60, what other reason is there for a uterine prolapse other than...

[@sakurahonda6347]

"Release" which I regard as this being a play on words means opening a crotch. There are various other plays on words.It is pleasant if it searches. (I am sorry to be poor at English.)

[@comarising6]

This is probably my favorite youtube video. Just the combination of the song itself, with the artwork in this video and the way it was presented was beautifully twisted. I love this so much. Sometimes I stop singing or paying attention to the music just to stare at the artwork, and the converse. All I got left is...wow.

[@freeckotreecko]

After all these years now I came to realize the translations of this song ain't right. I mean, the translation is too soft, doesn't explain much. But, the song reveals itself a much more sinister meaning.

[@keengoon116]

I think the original lyrics are vague and full of double meanings, hence the vague translations. But that's what makes hachi's lyrics interesting. They're open to interpretation and can be read in different ways and mean different things. To me this song is creepy as hell, it's the dark implications that make it extra creepy.

[@keichanzel6336]

It surprises me that there are still people watching this in 2015. But what surprises me more is that I first watched this 6 years ago. I mean, what the heck? It's been six years already???! How dafuq did that happen???! xD
