It's heavily assumed that he killed himself, and his final tweet proves this a little more. It was something along the lines of, "There is no charm in adulthood. I don't want to become an adult."
PowaPowa-P aka Shiina Mota was probably only about 16 the time he wrote this song, he started composing at the age of 14, he was so talented. To end his life at the ripe age of 20...Its just too sad. Rest in peace, Ryo Mizoguchi(real name) You've set off now, leaving us this song, so we can be smiling. Thank you

I don't know if anyone is going to read this but. I found this song when I was 12 years old. I'm now 18. I can't begin to say how much this song means to me, both this one and strobe light. I learned of PowaPowa-P's passing maybe 2 or so years ago, and I feel like I can only listen to this song very rarely even though I love it, so I never get desensitized to it. This song feels like a hollow, ghost-like version of strobe light, with the hushed vocals and sparse bass. Rest in peace PowaPowa-P, your music will never be forgotten.

I just turned 18 ASWELL and I remember being sad and my friend told me to listen to this vocaloid producer in 2012 during the summer I remember the name and when I searched up I fell in love with this song it holds so many different meanings. each year I played this song and I used to sing this to my little cousin. In 2016 I got recommended his song オカワリヲドウゾ and that’s how I realised he passed away. Life is a blink of an eye away and realy is something to think about . So the next week as I was processing him passing away I decided to show my classmates his work and they loved it . Nobody likes to be forgotten and may we always remember his work

I remember the first song i listened to by this artist, it was pallet full of you, i believe. I remember I put it on a full loop that whole entire night. It gave me inspiration and determination just listening to the lyrics mash with the beat, it was amazing. Then, i looked at the comments to only realize what happened. That first song held so much more meaning now. Another time, i was really sad, i just put that song on only for autoplay to put on "please give me a red pen" it was my first time hearing it, but had the same lovable type of beat. That was 2 or 1 year ago. I still love vocaloid. I was watching a top 10 list of vocaloid artists with unique songs. Half way through the list, i started to get bored until this song popped up. The small bit of the song playing and I had already fell in love with it, so i looked it up. That's when I realized it was the same artist who had gotten me even more fascinated with vocaloid. No doubt, i love all his songs. Listening to his songs fill me with hope for bueatiful vivid world, a one only conveyed through his songs.

Mota-san said in an interview back in March 2015 that he made this song during a really bad time in his life. He posted a tweet around that time saying "I want to die." But he said that he forced himself to make this song even though "it was painful" and that in the end the song did really well and he was happy about that. I think if you listen to the lyrics with this fact in mind, it really shows his struggle with mental health when he was as young as 15-16. Rest in Peace.

@@idontknowwhattocallthis5235 siinamota (also known as Powapowa-P) is a vocaloid producer. He used his songs to basically let out his feelings and his thoughts. Most of his songs included themes of suicide, depression, etc. You could say it was a ‘cry for help’. In July 23, 2015, He was found deceased. It doesn’t give us the exact cause of his death but we assume it was suicide based on his last song (Please give me a red pen/Good bye everyone) and his last tweet (something about how he didn’t want to grow up and he lost his charm when he became a adult) People put lyric analysis is some of his songs eng version if you want to check that out. I just recently found him (as I was 7 years old when he died too) so I may forget to put something. He died young at the age of 20, Rest In Peace.

It's been more than one year that Powapowa-p died, i am still shocked and sad. I really miss him and his song. I still remember a little the day i found out that he died, at first i thought that it was onlu a rumor, and after i seen the video on niconico, and his tweet. I cried and was surfing on the internet without actually knowing what i was doing. It's been one year that he's dead and i'm still listening to his song. But there's something that troubled me for a long time, on the new year, his mom (or someone else) tweeted with his account, she said that he could have been here for this new year, couple mounths after, the tweet was not here anymore. I still don't know what happenned and if it was really a tweet that was on his account or only a dream. I remember that i translated it on romaji and read it like that. I really hope that Powapowa-p is well if he's somewhere else and if he's not here anymore, i hope that he rest in peace. I will never forget him.

The start of the song and the piano keys in the beginning are kinda disconcerting, but they keys are more haunting. Then the beat kicks in, making the song sound less empty. I've listened to PowaPowa-P's songs a couple years back and I only listened to this one once then.
Hard to believe he made this song when he was only 16.. Man was just a couple years older than me and I never knew he was a teen just like me but making great music...

Someone dies and becomes a memory, a name, a word "I can feel myself live on, as if scattering words about" The person is dying, becoming a memory, a word. Maybe even a "not so good" word. Maybe a forgetting word

i'm not really sure what to say, or where to say it. but i figured i would say it here, since this was the first siinamota song i ever heard. it's been six years since siinamota died and i still miss him. he's been dead for longer than he made music. i've never really lost anyone in my personal life so it always feels hard for me to understand how people can mourn for so long but then i realised i still cared about siinamota. i still listen to his music almost every day. i never knew him and never really could have known him, and i had never listened to a lot of his work before his death. but i listen a lot now, and i love it, and he impacts me every single day. i don't think he ever knew or could have imagined how much reach he could have or how much he could affect people but i know i'm not the only one who he has helped. his music is so beautiful to me both sonically and lyrically, and while i don't think i'll ever be able to understand the nuance in a lot of his songs even knowing a little bit of what they're about is so touching to me. siinamota's music is very relatable to me in both the content of the lyrics and the way they're written and it's strangely refreshing. i guess that's part of why i like him so much. i've never really believed in any sort of afterlife but there's a part of me that hopes there is, if only so i can thank him personally even once. but if that never happens then i suppose this comment is going to have to do. thank you, siinamota, for everything you've made. i miss you. next time, i'll try to say it on your birthday instead.
Everything about this song is so beautifully haunting. Everything about it is just unmatched RIP powa powa you'll always be my fave vocaloid producer. I hope you found your happiness up there

I found his music when i was 11 by chance and this song held a spot in my heart for the longest time. With all the trauma and disgust i had towards myself with abandonment, being loved and the unabilitity to understand normal people... It allowed me to cry, it shouted out to me that i wasnt alone. That i wasnt going to be trying to get back to myself alone.. Im almost 21 now. I still havent figured it all out, but if it wasnt for his music and a few others i found. I wouldnt have been here. As i always thought id finish before reaching 18. So thank you.
