Kaito, Hatsune Miku - Cantarella ～Grace Edition～ (カンタレラ)

Disclaimer: I own nothing of this video other than the translation. All credits go to their original creators.
Hooray for my 30th translation video, and for many more to come!
A reboot of Cantarella, nice! I know don't like to upload translations of songs and PV's that are already uploaded, and there are already some subbed versions of this up already, but they're all just the translation on AnimeLyrics, so I thought it was fine to upload my own.
This was one of my first ever favourite vocaloid songs! I discovered it through playing Project Diva 2nd and the snazzy violin work instantly caught my interest, and I've loved it ever since, so I had to get a translation up when I saw this version was released. The PV is so pretty though, can't deal ;_; I love it~
This song will be featured in Kurousa-P's upcoming album 5th ANNIVERSARY BEST. It will be released on the 6th of March 2013.

-'okasaresou' and derivatives translate to 'invade' or 'violate', but I thought that sounded a bit too much like sexual assault, so I went with 'intoxicate'.

Kaito is tuned so beautifully here. I know he is one of the harder voice banks to utilize, but I wish there were more Kaito songs out there like this.

seriously, he sounds so gentle

[@elementalcolors4977]

One of my favorite things about Kaito’s songs is that he seems to have the strongest fictional affinity/appeal imo. It’s like no matter what song he sings, he is either a prince or a knight of sorts. Of course I have yet to hear all of the vocaloids’ songs, but that’s the impression I have so far.

[@user-gj2ei3nz9o]

LOL you should watch Brother is Worried or I Wish They'd Just Die by Kaito HAHAH he's not a prince or knight there.

[@lillyp7208]

Well he had to start somewhere! Check out Knight in training!

[@ShinyPrimarina]

It;s also super ironic too since way back then Kaito use to be one of the bigger memes and less taken seriously of all the vocaloids

[@rjmantis]

He's a knight who sings songs about ice cream

[@mochaite]

Actually! This song is supposedly about a true story, where the brother falls in love with his long lost sister and tries to poison her.

2:14 Ugh, he sounds so nice when deep like this, i really wish more songs used him like this. Normally his higher registers have a Kermit inflection but this song really did him justice.

[@sleepy.minori]

If you like KAITO's lower voice, I suggest listening to "The Spit Thief" by SLAVE V-V-R. It not only uses his whisper voice bank, but also his lower register. It's really an amazing song, I love it so much ^^

[@_doodles01]

It’s almost hard to believe this isn’t a real person (I know about voice providers don’t even bother). Vocaloid has come such a long way from when I started listening 7-8 years ago. I’m so impressed

[@manab6365]

This used his v1 voice bank i guess which was made back in 2006(???). It's not recent. But you're right vocaloid has come a long way haha

[@SonodaSymphony]

So before anyone jumps to the conclusion of Borgia incest, according to the Vocaloid Wiki, the grace edition depicts an entirely different story of a war between opposite adversaries (the war is represented by a three-man chess as pictured in the pv), with Kaito and Miku being the leaders of their respective sides. Cantarella was a poison in the original song, however in this version it takes the form of Kaito and Miku’s chess pieces which may be a figurative representation of their titles as king and queen. Although I still find the lyrics to pertain to the original storyline of Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia’s rumored incest, it would have been interesting to have gotten new lyrics by Kurousa-P to allude to the new apparent storyline.

[@sasoosa1515]

Yay! Thank you! When I read the story on Genius romanization about the story, it kind of destroyed me, I felt bad to hear a song that had a bad meaning like that. Until I finally saw this story, now I can listen to it without worrying. If you want, I can provide more details someone else provided in another video of the song (with credit of course)

[@1bribw247]

@@sasoosa1515 Please do! :D Id love to see it

[@sasoosa1515]

Yaay here you go ^_^ Sorry for the late reply ------------------- This was written by NguyenNguyen-kaimiku2339 I only pasted it here :) One last thing, this comment was from Read through the comment, a lot of people seem to be mistaken that this story related to the original "Cantarella", in fact it's not. This version has nothing to do with the original song and Borgia siblings, in "Cantarella ~Grace Edition~", Kaito and Miku simply are Kaito and Miku. This song is about the war between Black and White in chess style. On the Black side: Kaito is the King of Black, under him is Meiko - the Queen of Black, Len - the Knight of Black and Luka - the Bishop of Black. On the White side: Unknown King of White, Miku is the Queen of White, under her is Rin - the Rook of White. The "Cantarella" here is the chess piece, it represents that person's title. Throughout the song, you can see Miku has thrown away her Cantarella twice aka thrown away her "Queen" title as for she didn't want to join this stupid war. The first time didn't work because she was forced to continue fighting so there was a negotiation between two sides later on where you can see everyone sitting face-to-face (In the Project Diva PV, you can see the royal-ish hall with many chairs). After this event took place, Kaito and Miku had a private meeting in rose garden, Kaito has played a song with piano and made Miku fell in love with him completely. He then promised that he'd throw away his title and abandon his title to be an ordinary couple with Miku but when he threw it, he caught it again, not threw far away like Miku did. Kaito wanted to win this war at any cost and not willing to abandon anything. In the end, this fake love has caused Miku to die (which can be proven with the flash image at the start where you can see she cried, the unreachable hands, the broken effect of "Tsukamaete", the only white rose turned to blue, the fading figure of Miku in the rose garden and Kaito stood where Miku stood in the beginning of the song) but she died with a smile which made Kaito surprise. Miku smiled, she didn't blame him anything, just did it as a thanks him because she was free, no longer suffered, no longer be a pawn (which it's why you only see white pawn when the song title appears and at the end), no longer need to fight. Having her freedom completely. The rose color of Miku, beside from "innocence" also the hint for her tragic demise

When I heard the violin at the start I immediately recognised this song from when I was younger. It turns out I've been listening to vocaloid much longer than I thought I just didn't think anything of it because KAITO is tuned so well he sounds almost human.

[@a.c.e.-6316]

I feel like this PV really tried to tone down the sexual undertones of the song, in comparison to fanmade PVs this one is rather mellow

-'okasaresou' and derivatives translate to 'invade' or 'violate', but I thought that sounded a bit too much like sexual assault, so I went with 'intoxicate'. I'd say sexual assault fits Canterella.
