【Hatsune Miku】 Laika ~English Subbed~ 【Vocaloid PV】

[@MikiNataka]

It's not the death of the dog thats sad, though it also plays a part, it's the idea of leaving your family expecting to come home and see their smiles only to realize, at least we do as viewers, you won't be coming home and you won't see you family again. That's what made me cry.

[@SekaiNoYume20]

I cry everytime I listen to this song... The part she says " When I come back" is really sad.... :(

[@susinko3285]

Heads up to the people who don't know, this is about the cosmonaut dogs that were sent into space by the Soviet Union as some of the first living things in space. Those space capsules were never meant to come back down....

[@martk647]

Susinko Fuck them.

[@flinko99]

Well, they were never meant to come back down /safely/.

[@plushuang412]

Don't know what to say......development of science always comes with sacrifice, its no different between US or USSR, but it really break my heart at this case

[@viniciuspaiva3578]

Well, Belka and Strelka returned safely at least...

[@claire9058]

It's bad enough that Laika was a stray dog on the streets, and yet still had to be subjected to this treatment. I didn't cry when I heard this song, I bawled.

[@moe.4490]

When my sister first told me to watch this, I completely blew her off because I'm not really a fan of vocaloids, but when she was gone, I watched it. I'm glad I was alone because I was crying like a newborn baby. Saddest thing ever.

[@ThePointOfNoReturn23]

Me Throughout The Song: Pretty and sad but...*shrug* End Of Song: And when I come back, everyone's going to praise me!...That's ok...Right?... Me: YEP. THERE ARE THE TEARS.

[@xMasterBeanx]

Before the launch, one of the scientists took Laika home to play with his children. In a book chronicling the story of Soviet space medicine, Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky wrote, "I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live."

[@iipotato]

"When I come back, everyone is going to praise me" . That made me feel weak in the heart.

[@CharcoalNeko]

daaaaammnn.... vocaloid ALWAYS ALWAYS make the sad songs with happy tunes which makes it even more SAAADDDD!!! D":

[@ChaosRat161]

brb emotional breakdown

[@ChaosRat161]

Werner Wolf my comment is 1 year old say hi to it

[@lukasl1890]

hi

[@ChaosRat161]

Flossy smh i love the necro likes. it's now 2 years old! happy birthday to comment.

[@Marquchs]

jeesjees you skipped 3 years but happy birthday

[@gravitythecat3349]

The story of Laika is soo sad D: and the fact that they rushed the ship being built probably played a part in her death. As she died from too much heat because the cooling system thing malfunctioned and didn't work as that's why she died of heat the cooling thing didn't work. Also the fact that they sent poor Laika in a rushed ship that had a 50% chance of not working completely because it was rushed (Sputnik 2 was made in 4 weeks) I wish Laika had made it back she would have been a great pet but no she had to die of heat exhaustion in the first few days up her trip in the vast empty black void of space (where no one will hear you scream) D:

[@insanity9292]

+Gravity the cat Even worse: the ship was never meant to come back down. According to the Wikipedia page, she "was a sacrifice to science on a one-way mission to space".

[@viniciuspaiva3578]

Yes! She was a hero of space... But Belka and Strelka returned safely!

[@flinko99]

Well, never meant to come back down /safely/.

[@flowerfaerie8931]

She would never have come back. They gave her poisoned food to let her die peacefully, but she was so disoriented by the heat that she didn’t eat it.

[@wradford1990]

Laika's fate is one of many reasons I believe that our species deserves extinction.

[@Nintendan95]

This song is a really nice tribute to Laika :) I never heard of this until now. Really sad as to what happened :[ 3:33 is so innocent. It makes me sad :(

[@CandiedAppleSlices]

Last year my science teacher told us about Laika, and I thought it was so sad then. But during the last minute or so of the song, I actually felt tears in my eyes, particularly at the last few lines. I don't think I've ever cried because of vocaloid song before, but I did with this.... It's really amazing, and I'm glad Laika is remembered still. Thank you for sharing the English translation of this song.

[@flowerfaerie8931]

This song is SOUL-CRUSHINGLY sad when I read the lyrics, but without looking at the lyrics it just sounds so nice that I keep replaying it...

[@Mikiglaceon]

ive heard that te spaceship was found months later with Laika's remains in it D': When i heard that,i was all like,covering my mouth with my hands,sniffing,going "Oh my god Laika...."

[@goliathusregius360]

Aww, this song is so sad! I'll always love it. It was the first Vocaloid song I'd ever listened to, and it's so perfect. Poor Laika :(

[@софа-л1з]

Wow! I from Russia! Thank you! We remember and love space animals! Our stars😢

[@flaiirenn]

yes 😢

[@trixiebito7682]

Well at least she was the first animal to go to space. I read laikas story she was a stray then a man adopted laika. Then.... You know she died..... . Before nobody cared about her but after her death everybody started to care so much about her. _

[@samjin4203]

im not crying (yet) but i do feel really sad.

[@samjin4203]

+sar jeb (thelolsj) i did say yet. Im crying now. Jesus christ fucking emotions.

[@WeirdGirl_14]

I love this song so much! I've cried a tear or two (which actually means something big when it comes to me) when I heard it for the first time. At school, we're doing projects about space and satellites and shuttles and everything. I saw, "Dogs in Space--tests (USSR) Sputnik 2" and I knew it was about Laikia, so I made sure I got that one! ;3; Laikia!!

[@riskjoe]

"And when I come back/ Everyone's going to praise me. Is that okay?/ Right?" Manly tears~

[@TENJHOTENGE1]

Manly tears were shed.

[@ShyVioletIsShy]

I sobbed the first time I heard this when rockleetist covered it and I’m still crying now. You were a good girl, Laika. Rest in peace.

[@Haizme]

Damn normally i don't cry so quickly. But this song is a real tearjerker.. damn poor Laika..

[@kei3713]

the last line... *sobs

[@elfiefox]

WHY DO I ALWAYS CRY AT THIS SONG *_WHY_*

[@zahirahvv]

Celestial Ninetales me too T_T

[@elfiefox]

Heads up: It happened again

[@PuppiiiOwO]

The beeps at the start scares me.. It sounds like those alert beeps when something in a ship goes wrong.. Like with Laika :(

[@flowerfaerie8931]

That’s actually the sound of Sputnik 1 communicating with Earth.

[@PuppiiiOwO]

@@flowerfaerie8931 Thank you for letting me know

[@storemanager]

when I saw the rocket launching at 4:30, I felt scary and sad. I can't understand that Laika was alone inside..

[@bunniotomia]

My heart shattered when she went to space because all she wanted was to be praised

[@cherlyrasorafullbuster3958]

This song remind me of late first dog. The lyrics really touch and it's really a beautiful sad song..

[@catmanmenace]

Saw something about Laika which brought me back to this song, I used to cry so hard at it when I was middle school aged. The thing I remembered the most about this song was how she mentioned everyone being nicer to her before they sent her out (to her death). That's what used to make me start bawling lol

[@wingardiumlachancla9078]

Pam palam pam pam palam pam ♪ pam palam pam pam palam ♪

[@flowerfaerie8931]

That part is so addicting. I keep coming back here just to hear it.

[@viniciuspaiva3578]

I heard “Lai Laika Lai Lai Lai Lai Ka 🎵 Lai Laika Lai Lai Laika🎵”

[@hoshi_tsubasa]

That made me cry for some reason....we were learning about

[@Ju5tJaying]

thank you lil lemon for a sacrafice you never knew youd make. you came back a big bright star in our dark little world

[@larhonda41]

"A single death is tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic." Cold words, but true. I believe it applies in this case as well.

[@WardySnow]

"And when I come back.." breaks my heart. Laika, you're a legend 😢

[@usaminmini]

i didnt cry..... im dead inside

[@Promethibot]

ha ha hee hee hoo hoo

[@bratwurstsausage426]

***** edgy bitch

[@usaminmini]

im here like ???

[@samjin4203]

+spocky i didnt cry but i do feel sad.

[@KawaiiChu24]

I love this song, but the meaning behind it is so sad...

[@rattydearest6784]

Ok first of all how dare you

[@xMasterBeanx]

Oleg Gazenko, one of the scientists responsible for sending Laika into space, expressed regret for allowing her to die: "Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We shouldn't have done it... We did not learn enough from this mission to justify the death of the dog."

[@vocavox9275]

I've listened to this song dozens and dozens of times and felt nothing. :) Of course that was before I knew the lyrics. 0_0 Curse you English sub-titles. T_T

[@1kbear1995]

Translation to the Russian. It may not be completely right, though. "The Earth is a cradle of the mind, but we cannot live forever in a cradle." -Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky Start at 2:30 p.m. November 3, 1957 She left land and went into space. Sung by Hatsune Miku. Dedicated to the memory of Yazdovsky Vladimir Sergei Pavlovich Kvanoich. I had nothing better to do, so I decided to translate it, plus I was wondering what it said.

[@visheshsinha4825]

She was a good doggo...... May she rest in peace.

[@AoiSuu]

;u; P-poor Laika

[@KagamineKataRINa]

Wow I dont think ive ever actually sat down and starting crying because of a song before? This is a first. Love you Laika

[@yuumeko]

I can't watch this too long, I can really spend the day crying and thinking about Laika.

[@Xstreambreeze1X]

I'm just gunna go curl up in a ball in the corner and die now byyyyeee!!

[@whatisthisaccountlol-c8s]

Memorable...

[@Rinrinribbon]

This song 🤧💓🎶

[@Louchan2]

@TheKanonHara Lmao, "billions"? Take it easy with the numbers there.

[@schneiderallen4481]

y'all need to listen to this song and read the real story about what happened to the dog laika

[@cherlyrasorafullbuster3958]

Yeah.. feels like we can understand what the dog feels right on that time.

[@jello9256]

aww..i cant stop tearing up tears.. xC

[@RiikosCovers]

@EpicFailStorm This song is in reality a song about a russian dog named Laika, who go in the space for the sake of science, after 5/7 hours in the space, she died from stress and an other thing (don't remember") if you want details, google is your friend. Well, it's a really sad story.

[@TheMelonody]

This is like the 3rd time I listened to this song... Idk why but I feel so attracted to the tune and the message, its really touching ;w;/

[@Karin55Chan]

oh gosh, i'm trying not to cry! for a dog lover like me, this song hits the heart instantly.

[@BattleGirl00]

When she said 'Right?', my heart just shattered...

[@amirakitty]

This makes me soooo sad, poor Laika, if only she had lived then this song would be happy! T^T It's a great song, especially if you know the history behind it.

[@apple-blossom9246]

I first read about Laika when I was only about...7 (It was in a school reading book about space specially for that age group) I felt really sad and angry about what happened to her, I’ve always loved animals *a lot* (more than people XD) I feel she really doesn’t get enough recognition, it’s all about some human. Honestly, if they wanted to send some(living)thing into space, send a human! If you guys want to do this for the benefit of *your* own species, then send one of your own kind! Don’t just choose an innocent dog, her life means just as much as yours! That’s just selfish. Seriously though, humanity just makes me feel sick sometimes.

[@trixiebito7682]

Right now my eyes are dripping with liquid pride

[@Shimanet777]

Good Job Thanks!

[@SP00PZ]

WE DONT DESERVE DOGS

[@HiKoURoMaN]

So adorable...

[@ramendik2]

чччёрт подери! Спасибо. Lots of Russian love to the original author.

[@redmoonfoxx4415]

Makes my cry everytime

[@remis.2020]

It has been years ever since I first heard this song, but this hits me right in the kokoro everytime and makes me cry like a little bxtch D':

[@p.m.-b.1557]

-I never cried so hard...-

[@lusoulius7346]

It's 2024. I listened to this song in 2016 and I didn't understand English at all. Until this year, I understood :")

[@shuttup_n_kerry_on]

You were awesome Laika!~ everyone is praising you!!! R.I.P.!~ :)

[@XxShugoSoraxX]

When I watched this, I didn't know the story behind it, however half way through I started crying in realization. For 5 hours after this, I researched as much about her as I could.. I told everyone about her - I wanted to let people know how much pain and suffering she went through in her short life span of 3 years. Laika, may your soul rest in peace. We will always love you

[@ChocoletoChan]

waaaaaa..... so beautiful T^T I knew about Laika and when I heard that's a vocaloid song about her, I searched it ^^ Is sad that she died T^T The cool thing in the PV is that all the names are written with Russian letters ^^ (at the begginig it's wrote Sai On -Саи Он- and Hatsune Miku -Хацуне Мику- ^^ and after that is Laika ^^)

[@ShelledPenguin]

@leafpool4eva Actually Thefirstpancakeful is right. At first they said she died because her oxygen ran out, but in 2002, they said what really happened was that she died because of overheating and stress.

[@KanonHara]

@Louchan2 obviously I was exaggerating because i don't know the number. my point still stands.

[@Anakondaa72]

I'm crying.

[@ButterflyUta]

Why the heck did I listen to this twice in a row? I cried both times D':

[@daisydavis1978]

"Right..?" MY HEART

[@nerdwantbrains]

I started crying the second the dog came on screen.

[@PicoPicoHammah]

First song ever to make me cry, not tear.

[@koikoi3808]

every fucking time Christ 😭 I love this song so much but i get so sad when i hear it so i don't listen to it often

[@TekunikuraKaze]

My guess for the text would be the date & time of the launch, and then "she left into the new space" (according to Google Translate, sounds OK though.) The word next to the star, well, I've no idea what the third character is, so problem there. The next two words are probably "sung by" since the next ones are "Hatsune Miku".

[@sonic5577]

I can't watch this without crying

[@1kbear1995]

Oh and the part where there are words crossed off are Laika's possible names.

[@HonkifULuvBrownies]

Rest in peace, Laika :'(

[@loveandbrainwashed]

This feels nostalgic

[@ellenprutske]

When I heard this song somewhere I was just like. heh, nice song. But now I know the story behind it, I start to scry immediately TT^TT Laika didn't deserve a life like this, she didn't deserve an end like this... TToTT

[@ShaydraSilversky]

This song is so pretty to listen to but whenever I think of the meaning I get sniffly... Reading some of the previous comments, I'd like to say that what's sad and wrong here isn't the fact that a dog died from overheating. The fact is that humans sent the dog out alone, knowing she would die, and not even bothering to try to bring her back alive.

[@AlotikaFui]

oh geez, this was adorable but very sad. I started crying halfway through the video. ;_;

[@gwdone]

wow!!! what a story, and what a miku!!!

[@Louchan2]

@TheKanonHara A pretty damn big exaggeration, yes. But aside from that, I think your point is a rather cold one. What, are people who hear about the story of Laika and feel sorry for her just supposed to say to themselves "hey, I shouldn't pity this dog, lots of dogs all the time so it doesn't really matter"? All animals and humans as well die all the time, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing to feel sympathy when you hear the story of one of them.

[@sugarycream]

@Louchan2 I agree 100% with you on this. Kanon seems pretty heartless to comment something like that on such a sad song.

[@hiyamikaris]

M-Me?! Cry?? No! *My eyes are just sweating.*

[@Exelius]

In fact she IS a hero, she stands next to Gagarin in the monument to the conquerors of space, and also have her own statue

[@Karin55Chan]

@theeFri I know, that's the part that really made me want to cry. TT^TT

[@halla4763]

oh this is a vocaloid song i saw the rockleetist version and thought wtf?but no there really is a song about a dog that died some decades ago. laika died in reentry into the earth atmosphere,i guess that would make him a "hotdog"....

[@chizusan308]

Love u Laika!!!!!!

[@Twardz]

They mentioned Laika on 'Animal Planet' and my tears streamed anew! ;__;

[@matiqueee]

Очень круто!

[@hannahsaurus20]

Thank you laika

[@KaiiViskei]

I just happened to purchase the book that told the story about Laika/Kudryavka 2 weeks ago, read it,, and touched, very touched. Later I found this and.. "Japanese people sure are crazy (in positive way) because they can make song out of many unique unpopular worldwide hidden stories and make it, SPECIAL"

[@ClaireyBiearyPotter]

The real dog, Laika never returned.

[@RainbowHana]

@LunaTemari look i read about it in wikipedia
