Kagamine Rin- "絡繰賛歌 (Hymn to a Gadget)" English subbed

[@angehair500]

I can already tell after hearing this only once it's going to be one of my favorites

[@CountessDraculaBlueSky]

I still love this song

[@kittykat490]

It really is. Whoever translated it did a wonderful job.

@MyCatEatsBrains I think she KNOWS (at the end) that she should think for herself, yet doesn't want to believe it. If she's only done what she told all her life, then is told to do stuff on her own, she wouldn't know how. Therefore, she would try to convince herself (and others) that she NEEDS a puppeteer, and the last line is just her denying that she can do stuff on her own. I think.

OMGAWSH watching both of the videos i think i understand.... the was an accident, rin could feel anything from the waist down and she loved to dance but cos she couldnt move her legs and couldnt dance she thought she wasnt human.... and len in the accident he became blind and couldnt see anything, but the onlything he was sad about was that he couldnt see rin smile anymore so he thought he was a wooden doll..... wow how depressing...

[@AnimeMangaFanGirl7]

I think this might be a story about a dancer that had always done everything she was told and felt she was nothing without dance. Now that she can't move her legs since they are either broken or she's paralyzed she believe's she's only a puppet no longer wanted by her 'master'. At 2:11 it looks like her left leg is in a cast.

Gimmick-mimic-puppet-- good translation!

[@MyCatEatsBrains]

I think this song is about someone that always does what she is told, accepting orders without question. Then she starts to realize that she should think for herself and not just do what everyone says. Or, maybe she doesn't realize that she should think for herself. That last line kind of confuses me. XD But..yeah. It doesn't have to be about dancing or dolls, that could be symbolism. I guess it could just be about dancing, but I like to think that Mayuko was trying to send us a message. XD

[@TheGreatLestat]

Upload more dark ones like this! :D SUBBED!

[@kittykat490]

Yes, that makes sense because her left leg is in a thing that looks like a brace or something.

[@hitsaru]

aaaw poor rin thinks she is a doll because she can't walk

[@Neverhooder]

Does anyone know if there is an off vocal/karaoke version of this song?

[@GothicKitty1000]

Is there a way to get an off vocal of this?

[@yuracatlv]

is this evil joke ? why so apocalyptic - tragical ?
