[@ribbonnyao2875]

I may be wrong but Saihara and Ouma both are the same in regards of "hiding from the truth". With Ouma finding it easier to lie to everyone _and_ himself, and with Saihara making himself as small and possible, so he can hide and live with ignorance, away from the truth. Either way, they're both so scared of the truth. Idk it just makes me sad. The only contrast between them is that Saihara had a guide, a light, that is Akamatsu, who made him no longer cower in fear of the truth. While Ouma had no one.

That makes me wonder... What would've happened if Shuichi didn't have this guide? How would he have acted? I can only imagine he'd be even more awkward and quiet, but still. That could've been interesting to see.

[@teenytinytwoo1375]

This is really good. It really set the tone for Saihara's character. Like if you compare this song to Ouma's. Ouma's is fast and the notes are all over the place (random thing but I'm planning on doing a cover of that song once I figure out how to actually sing it cuz it's hard) where as Saihara's is more monotone and has some stuttering and stays at around the same speed the whole time. It really shows that the little details really help 😄

[@meowkittymeowmeow2786]

This song can also seem fairly depressing at points, but 'Cause I'm a Liar only gets depressing near the end. Then again Danganronpa is the embodiment of depressing despair.

SPOILERS AHEAD Among all the protagonists I think Shuichi is the one who definetely carries the most guilt from all the others. Makoto has that unbreakable hope that lets him keep going and Hajime is kinda harsh and not that fragile. Not that he feels nothing it's just that he has a stronger personality imo. And Kaede is out of the contest because I'm talking about the guilt coming from unmasking the blackened. Apart from that, unlike Makoto and Hajime Shuichi is the Ultimate Detective so during invastigations and class trials he was the one who was held responsible for finding the killer. Also, V3 trials were the most unfair, injust and heart-breaking in the series imo. Plus, the executions were the cruelest. Plus, a few times he had to betray a good friend for the sake of the others. Shuichi really had it hard when it comes to guilty conscience...

[@seventeenthletter17]

Hajime is still a chad for basically scoring two girls and not even needing a talent.

[@soupie46]

Understandable, however, Naegi was in two killing games, and with the survivors guilt Naegi likely held from that first killing game, combined with the other, along with being bashed by the Future Foundation for his actions to attempt to rescue the Remnants of Despair, he would definitely hold a lot of guilt as well. Though yes, I agree, Saihara holds a lot of guilt for this..

*SPOILERS* These are absolutely stunning! Everything about these fits their character- the lyrics, the colors, the music, the beat of the song, the voice, and everything else. I can't wait for your next one! What I loved about this one is that at around 3:16 the notes start getting distorted, much like Kaede's execution. And don't even get me started on the "You know what you have to do"- I wanted to throw my headphones across the room because of all the emotions. Some I'd personally like to see are Rantaro's, maybe him having seen the video (thus discovering his talent) and running to the library to see if he can end the killing game, Himiko's (maybe when Tenko got killed and she broke down and had to become stronger), and Kaede's because that would be absolutely beautiful. Thanks for creating these! I'm looking forwards to your next one.

[@shootingstars9763]

The fact that this portrays Shuichi so well is what amazed me! Shuichi was afraid of the truth so he decided to distance himself from knowing too much, he actually was so incredibly smart that he was afraid of putting others in danger with that knowledge because if he made the wrong mistake he could kill everyone. Kaede being there to guide him was the reason he broke out of his shell and decided to face the truth head-on and save as much Ultimates he could, even if the truth is painful, he just had to break through it and create an answer. If he had befriended Ouma faster maybe Ouma wouldn't have died which is what saddens me cause I know Ouma could've been saved if had someone like Kaede to guide him and to show him lying would just let the truth hurt you more once you find out.

[@Wince_Media]

I absolutely love how Shuichi's stutters are implemented as some sort of beat its so cool

[@poshettoposie]

OH MY GODSJHDKGDF I CAME HOME WITH MCDONALDS SAW THIS AND ALMOST BURST OUT INTO TEARS Honestly, brief comment for a small moment, though. I absolutely loved this. Through the visuals and lyrics, you managed to captivate Saihara as an overall character, as well as his gradual development throughout the game. Through the lyrics, Saihara's insecurities and discomfort about specifically exposing the truth is heavily referenced, as well as his doubts and multiple negative thoughts and confusions - I'm so glad that, with such a wonderful, upbeat song, despite the pace you reflected his decisions, hardships and true realisation, despite his timidness. Throughout the entire video, I was eagerly hoping that it'd transition to his sprites without his hat - and when it did, not going to lie, I teared up. This is outstandingly amazing, and really, this has made my day so much better and without a doubt I'll be listening to this countless times. I anticipate your next song, whether you settle on Kaede or Kiibo, I am certain that it'll be astonishing! Thank you so much for making this! Definitely one of my favourite producers!

" I use this shield to obscure the picture. " My take on this line, because it’s literally 3:00 and I’m listening to this song AGAIN and crying as I play chapter one of V3. So. Saihara’s "shield" is lies, deceit, etcetera. The picture, obviously, is the blackened, Or who they PRESUME is the blackened.

[@spongebobfan700]

Chapter 1-6 Spoilers(?) WOAH! I know I'm two years late, but I just realized at the end, he says "Let's destroy the truth instead" and he has his hat off, which he doesn't have on during any chapter other than 1. So what I'm thinking is that the last part was him singing during the *last* trial. Why I think this is because he says he's destroying the "truth", which I think is referring to the truth Tsumigi made them believe. So what he was practically saying was "let's destroy the truth (as in the fake truth)". I hope this makes sense! Great song by the way, I enjoyed it (if you could tell by the whole theory I made lmao)

[@mokyumoguyu1822]

You were somehow able to portray Shuichi's thoughts and emotions very well! And that part with Miku was a nice touch (was that Kaede though? Because then that would be so touching yet a bit sad) I hope you'd do a song about Angie or Korekiyo at some point, but I am also excited to to see one of Kaede or Kiibo if that's what you're planning on

[@sighara-critchep4234]

Dr3 spoilers: ...kinda Shuichi is legitimately my favorite character out of all Danganronpa, and it’s not because he’s usually depressed. I started enjoying him as a character because of what Tsumugi intended. She wanted to make a detective that grew from his faults, and that’s why I believe in him. Even though he is probably depressed, and any dr meme will make a joke about it, I feel a little disappointed because I grew to love him because of him understanding that if he is forced to reveal the truth, he’ll do it his own way, with his own rules, with his own ethics. Like Hajime and Makoto. He was depressed and scared of revealing the truth because of something he had done which he thought was right, but ended up having consequences which he did not expect. Even after all the torment and emotional anguish he has felt, he still decides to fight his friends, for the promise he made. He chooses to make things his own, and to reveal the truth and lies. The ending where he coursed through all possibilities and still found one which only happened because he made it. I feel like a lot of people forget about how Shuichi grew to use his abilities to help and in his own, personalized way. The only thing you see about him is that, yeah he deals with depression and hatred, but he also learns from his mistakes and becomes a more powerful person because of it. this whole thing was pretty useless, I won’t lie, but I’m just really happy to see something about him that showed how he chose to see the truth and lies for what they are, and that he isn’t afraid anymore. Great song (: ...wish I could download on Spotify.

I just wanna point out something: Both Shuichi and Kokichi try to hide from the truth, just in different ways. Kokichi finds it easier to lie and keep up a confident persona. (Thats what i personally do) while Shuichi doesnt want to lie so he still tells the truth, but at the same time he kinda hides away from the truth from fear. I feel like almost everyone does this at some point, just some more than others. Its kinda sad but at the same time just plain true and relatable

Destroying the truth of the 1st trial where Kaedes the culprit, and going into a new truth where Kaede was framed by the mastermind, who is the true culprit.

my teacher: where did the war take place? *me : **3:11*

[@emichaki6602]

0:15 I enjoy the instruments here

[@theonetheonly.7799]

2:28 timestamp for all the shuichi screams you could need

[@aquaphoric4526]

Heheh I actually checked ur channel a couple days ago wondering when this song would come out and lo and behold I liked the small-kinda-perhaps-maybe parallels to Ouma's song, mostly the lyric "peek-a peek-a boo/ haha I found you/ hiding from the truth/ well it's nothing new" bc of the few lyrics in this song about hiding from the truth, now when I listen to Ouma's song and hear that lyric I'll think he's singing to shuichi (and maybe himself too) I would definitely love to see a Kiibo song, he's my fave and I'm interested in what the lyrics of his song would be!

[@undavid_]

AH! MY HEART WHY

[@limonleme2739]

Clicked as soon as i saw!

[@MephistoFowl]

gosh i really needed something like this today. you did an amazing job with this song. the lyrics fit shuichi so well and i love the emphasis on the stuttering.

[@christinafrazier1364]

I love your icon~

[@MephistoFowl]

Christina Frazier thank you! my name is also christina btw!

[@bella_daze3092]

This song has still head up even after five years. It’s depressing but it’s ending is somewhat uplifting knowing how Shuichi’s character is. He’s one of my favorite protagonists if I had to be honest

[@Selewq]

2:17 *when I made a mistake on the same layer on the coloring and I accidentally leave my drawing app*

[@alisakoroid5816]

IT'S HAVE BEEN 5 YEARS, BUT IT'S STILL NICE!!

[@sleeeepyy_]

"You know what you have to do" *_KAEDE PLEASE STOP MAKING ME SOB_*

[@karmahurb6238]

"You know what you have to do" Jesus... I'm crying but this song is so well made and beautiful. It really shows one side of Saihara that he has in the killing game and after that being the protagonist...etc. YOU ARE AMAZING AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR OTHER CONTENT!!! (i wrote that in a hurry plus i'm tired... haha... but i mean it!! I totally love it!!! You're great!!)

[@noelle8016]

Song: **saihara** Comments: **ouma**

[@itsmemia2334]

Shuichi:lets hide from the truth instead Me:omg thats sad-

[@ryanhightower1341]

I think the next step would be K1-B0. Lyrics about his inner voice and the struggle caused by it.

[@MephistoFowl]

also for suggestions a song about kaito or korekiyo would be really cool

[@midgetman9127]

So much yes for Korekiyo, there is so much material to make a really creepy song.

[@Kokichus]

OR MAKI ROLL

[@IchibanOjousama]

Abstract Chameleon YES KAITO

[@TheGrinningHippo]

Korekiyo would be great, his song would be creepy but awesome XD

[@shush9071]

yEs THeY MUsT dO KiYO

[@samthebananacat]

YES THANK YOU THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THAT MONTH LONG WAIT WAS WORTH IT YOURE CONSIDERING A KAEDE SONG AND A KIIBO SONG YES FLIPPING PLEASE THAT WOULD BE AMAZING *continues flipping out because the characters you did/are considering doing songs for are literally my top fave characters*

[@undavid_]

Yep. Good job.

[@UrLesbosFaveLesbo]

Makoto: HOPE Hajime: FUTURE Shuichi: DEPRESION

[@dum7782]

No one: Me: * Saihara posing along with the song *

[@memphismacpherson8850]

This song series is my favourite Vocaloid series at the moment. I'm probably missing something since I've not played V3 but these songs are so so so so amazing. I'm def in love with this!! On the edge of my seat for the next one

[@yumemitai612]

3:22 sounds like the beginning of one of Monokuma's punishments...

[@lonelytuning]

oh man i really love cause im a liar and I'm so excited you did my second best boi!!!!!!!! you should definitely do kiibo soon hes my fave character and i'd love to see your interpretation of his character! (also the piano when shuichi decides he's going to reveal the truth? such a nice touch)

[@kylethebel0ved]

IM SORRY WHAT? (hhh kinda spoilers for chapter 1) "Tying around my neck, killing me" IM CRYING, THATS A REFERENCE TO KAEDES EXECUTION OH MYGOD

[@theusualthirdwheel6075]

1:37 "Looking to the ground and never looking ahead" : Me when i started to ride a bike

[@bellasruby7]

Ahh I love this song! You made Len sound so clear^^ And between Kaede and Kiibo, I would have to choose Kaede. I'm pretty excited to see which VOCALOID you'd use for her!

[@konpeitojellie]

I love this and Kokichi's song! I can't wait for Kaede's song! As the detective, it's his job to expose who the murderer is. Yet, everyone is his friend. It's a job he doesn't want to have but must accept. :>

[@Chai_ST]

I was today years old when I realized “veering to the wrong side” is a reference to the psyche taxi mini game

[@YourLocalCringyKid]

spoilers? I DKNT KNOW IF THIS WAS INTENTIONAL FOR WHAT IM THINKING BUT 3:18 SOUNDS LIKE A PIANO DYING OUT?? Might not be a piano but gosh that sent chills down my spine anyway 😭

[@acatonceattackedmeandscrat6302]

NAH THAT WAS A PIANO

[@Xeorboom]

finally listened to this, I eonder if we'll ever get a protagonist Shuichi song?

[@ShuichiSaihara-U5D3]

This song fits me perfectly and im glad i heard kaede's voice in the song its such a nice touch. I also like how at the end after i decided to stop hiding from the truth i took off my hat. I love this💖🎉😅

[@jordie9706]

The music behind the lyrics is always amazing, the lyrics are also soooo good U HAVE A TALENT!!!

[@_snowy_weather_]

Mcki Robyns-P is the Ultimate Vocaloid Songwriter.

[@wendykasa]

How many times has Sushi Saihara had a heart attack?

[@j.mattlakes7792]

Sushi? 🍣 LOL (I know it looks like sashimi but the emoji's name said it was sushi)

[@Lunar_Benevolence]

The fact that Mcki always makes all the Danganronpa connect to another song or another character is one way or another is so fun. It's like finding an easter egg almost, and piecing them together is so much fun. Especially when it's so accurate to the canon.

[@rhealbutler]

Guys... His hat disappeared at the end. That was such an important detail that I didn't even notice at first.

[@sabrinamartinez8212]

this is a really good song and captures shuichi's anguish really well! i really like the lyrics after "no, thats wrong" keep up the good work!!

[@poltertronic4338]

Shuichi, Kaede, and Ouma's songs all tie into each other- have a good day :D

[@bluemew32]

Is it weird that I nearly cried?

[@riceeater33]

the music starting from 3:17 and ending at 3:21 sounds like a piano. i think it resembles kaede being happy with shuichi, but since the key turns minor i think it resembles her getting executed, and kaede is a pianist after all

[@alleniumcos]

love the little “you know what you have to do”

[@Jujumonkey]

in my opinion this is just shuichi's thoughts at the first trial because he was scared to reveal the truth and the last part where he took of his hat was at the last trial

[@sainttsukua]

Shuichi: "I can't see." Me: "Maybe you should actually *open your eyes* Shuichi."

[@theinfantmetroid]

man i sure do love the idea of a detective who not only shows emotions but is also actually scared of unveiling the truth. so much room for cHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

[@pastelhime9852]

I love how this song's instrumental sounds like the exact opposite of Ouma's and how you can hear Kaede in it. It also is a perfect fit for our Ultimate Detective, perfectly showing how he has doubts in his own abilities and thinks of them as a burden.

[@buzzlebee69]

This is practically perfect oh my god. First off the lyrics are really accurate to pre-protag Saihara and god I LOVE IT. You’re music style is also really nice??? I always find myself my humming this and Cause I’m a Liar. It’s so catchy! (PS Cause I’m a Liar is god tier too I love it thank you for blessing us)
