Hatsune Miku - Strobe Last (ストロボラスト) - English/Romaji Subs

Author's Comment (translated):
This is the sound I've wanted to create.
I have nothing to tell anymore.

Translated Lyrics:
"Don't you notice it yet?
I'm starting to walk in ways I believe in. There you go again."
Right.
I knew it.
I'm the same as ever.
Maybe I'll try to start walking.
In that distant time
See, what you touched is
Your own mind perverted by pain. There you go again.
Now, I was smiling.
I was breathing with a foul mind
That's all there is to it
If I (we) can put every second someone lives on into words,
I feel myself live on. (We feel ourselves live on.)
As if scattering words about
If I (we) can put every second someone lives on into words,
I feel myself live on. (We feel ourselves live on.)
As if scattering words about
When I (we) leave to set off
Even if we have no words
Here's this song (the answer) for us
so you can be smiling

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.

[@Daiki0391]

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

[@CreepergeddonTheGamer]

Rest in peace, I grew up listening to many of his songs when I was 11 and now I'm 19. I only learned he passed away from your comment. He will be remembered fondly, may the gods treat him kindly.

[@Jay-ti7wm]

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.

[@lai.4129]

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.

[@Mika-xd6jw]

@@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. Edit: there are some songs that his friends finished/uploaded after his death

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.

I hope he rests in peace, knowing that all of his fans are showing so much love towards him even after death.

[@soraxvi]

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.

[@crystalzye3450]

When you really think about it, this song is dark. "If I can put ever second, every person lives on into words" Every second someone dies. 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 still can't believe he is gone....Hope you rest in peace PowaPowa P.Thank you for encouraged me those years. ;__;

[@kuroshinko427]

Looking back at the Strobe series of songs, I think it describes well Powapowa-P. The Strobe series is a journey of the author's thinking, from the first to the last Strobe where he finally found his sound and has nothing left to say anymore.

[@catcactus1234]

“When I leave to set off Even if we have no words, Here’s this song (an answer) for us So you can be smiling” Damn that’s heartbreaking to read after finding out he committed suicide. Definitely sounds like he was planning to die for awhile before he actually went through with it, but he didn’t want his audience to feel bad about it. Rest In Peace, Powa-Powa P.

[@user-hr3gv1iv6q]

悲しい。 ただそれだけ。 いや、 ありがとう。

[@lakuronekobaka3951]

I never really listened to powapowaP's song before their death, sadly, however, i would like to thanks them for what they gave us. May you are in peace where ever you are

[@Calo95-pq2cf]

I found PowaPowa-P's songs 3 years ago. I'm grateful to be alive and to have seen his songs, even though it wasn't at the time, these songs help me a lot to move on with my life :)

いくら椎名もたさんが好きでも、 人生はどうしようもないよ。 だって、どんなに頑張っても僕らは椎名もたではない。 椎名もたさんの人生はもたさん自身が決めなくちゃ。 人の人生には口は出しちゃダメだ。 その人がどんな人生を選んでも僕らの言葉は只の一意見になるんだ。

[@user-jq4im8nx2d]

私はだいぶ大人だから、分かる、もたさんの気持ち。ボカロが衰退して若いもたさんは行き場が無くなったんだと思う。今ならもっと他の方法があったし、もたさんより辛い人生送ってる人沢山いる。亡くなるのが早すぎた…

[@frostyclouded]

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.

この曲、昔よく聞いてました。 もたさんをぽわぽわPを知るのがもっと早かったらなと思いました。 素敵な曲を残してくれてありがとうございます。大好きです。 やっぱりいつ聞いても涙止まりません。まだ貴方が同じ世界にいるような気がして。

[@user-xr1sq8iz5t]

すごく繊細で儚くて、それでいてサビのキラキラ感が綺麗すぎる音楽だなと改めて思います。あちらに行くには早すぎて悲しみが大きいですが、あなたがこちらに遺した音楽はずっと生き続けます。これから先もずっと大切な曲です。

[@katje0109]

The Strobe series is really one of my favourite! Even though the lyrics keep the same, I so love how they all sound so fabulous and different.

[@Leopro20]

I'll allow myself to copypaste the last part of this song. In the past made me happy. Now i just hope people remeber the one who wrote it. "When I (we) leave to set off Even if we have no words Here's this song (the answer) for us so you can be smiling"

[@wanderingsoul4103]

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

Crying rn ;-; this song always gets me emotional, R.I.P. Powapowa P Edit: this song is tied with so many sad memories, but I still love the song from time to time it gives me a neutral feeling :)

[@halokinger]

What? Powapowa P died? What.

[@ticzo9031]

He wrote his last song, the red pen song, and then committed suicide just a few hours later after uploading it. The Red Pen is what you use to write the names of the deceased in Japan, he died in 23th July 2015. Rest in Peace His last tweet was posted before his death and it translates to: There is no appeal in adulthood. I don't want to be an adult. He died at the young age of 20

[@amaranthabowl2708]

+TicZo Was it confirmed that he commited suicide? I thought it was just a theory because of the way the lyrics were in Red Pen?

[@evanc2185]

Well, Red Pen isn't actually his last song. There was one uploaded by his friend after his death, called Healthy End, which actually gives more evidence for suicide.

I first found this song when I was 14. Listening to this song now, eight years later gives me such a melancholy feeling, it makes me want to cry. I'm only a year older now than he was when he passed. PowaPowa-P, I hope you're resting peacefully now.
