[@user-kv7ou2ou6u]

今日は「春分の日」であり春のお彼岸。 幽体離脱という言葉からこの曲の主人公は亡くなっていなくて、もう既に亡くなっている大切な人へ幽体離脱をして会いに行ったということかと考えました。 最後の「我去看你了」は会ってきました、という意味だからきっと体に戻ってきている。 また会える、という歌詞が主人公が亡くなってから再会できるという意味なのかまたはお彼岸の時にまた会いに行くという意味なのか。 どちらでも亡くなった方を想う気持ちが素敵です。 鶏は仏教では克服すべき三毒の中の貪(必要以上に何かを求める欲望)を表すようです。この曲における貪は「亡くなった人との別れへの執着」なのではないでしょうか。 そんな風に感じました。

[@nagitoluck]

My interpretation of the song is that the person has a dead loved one, and they're singing about how they can't wait to meet their loved one again in the afterlife, or if you take it literally, they want to meet their dead loved one by having an out of body experience (astral projection/astral travel) but in my opinion, I think astral travel is a metaphor for death in this song. I love how this song is honestly really sweet and sentimental, it makes it different from a lot of Kikuo's songs. It makes me feel kinda nice. :) Anyways, if anyone is interested in why I believe this is the songs meanings, I'm gonna delve into some of the lyrics. The first lyrics say, "astral travel, the season when I want to see you, astral travel, I will come to see you" now, these lyrics are much less vague then the rest of the song, but basically, like I said, astral travel is most likely a metaphor for death and the afterlife, and they are saying they will come to see their loved one in the afterlife, through the lyrics "the season when I want to see you" and "I will come to see you". The second part of the lyrics are similar, as they say, "astral travel, the season when I want to see you, astral travel, I love you so much", and that's why I believe that they are talking about their dead loved one, because they want to see their loved one through death, who they obviously love a lot, hence the lyrics, "astral travel, I love you so much". The third section of lyrics say, "ah yes, I've finished it already. it was for such a brief time. flash, flash, upon the road where lanterns come alight, the scent of you smolders, swaying to and fro." This is sort of vague, but I believe this this section is talking about the times when their loved one was alive, such as when they say, "ah yes, I've finished it already. it was for such a brief time." I think they are talking about how they've finished their time with their loved one, and they believe it was such a brief time they had together alive. And by the lyrics, "flash, flash, upon the road where lanterns come alight, the scent of you smolders, swaying to and fro." I believe these lines are saying that they are revisiting memories, or in a place where them and their loved one were before, and the scent and memory of them is slowly fading away from the place. The next lyrics say, "ah, just the two of us, we turned into some smoldering smoke and swelled out until we, with a bump, knocked against the edge of the universe." This one was a bit harder to figure out, but I believe it's saying when their loved one was alive, they were always there for each other, and they cared about each other a lot, but as the lyrics say, "just the two of us, we turned into some smoldering smoke" which I believe means that now that their loved one is dead, their no longer together and their relationship is now smoldering smoke, and the lyrics "with a bump, knocked against the edge of the universe" means that their relationship hit the edge of the universe which signifies death, and so their friend has reached death, or the edge of the universe. Coming up next, the lyrics say, "crack crack, we're cracked, echoing in the universe! a shining light will come-come in with a sparkle making us chirp and peep; at long last, we'll be born all of a sudden and we'll surely meet up, will we not? time and time again" I interpret this as, although their relationship is "cracked, echoing the universe" as they put it, a "shining light will come-come in with a sparkle making us chirp and peep", the shining light meaning death, and it will come in and swoop the person singing this up, and then when they die, they'll be together with their loved one, and it will make their relationship flourish again, or "chirp and peep". The lyrics, "at long last, we'll be born all of a sudden and we'll surely meet up, will we not? time and time again", I interpret it in two possible ways. First, at long last the person has died, and they are "born again" in the afterlife and are able to meet up with their friend again, or second, they died and they are literally born again (past lives sort of deal) and they'll most likely meet up with their friend again. I'm leaning more towards the first meaning, since the second one seems too literal, but I'm not sure. The final lyrics are a montage of the first couple lyrics mostly, but they say, "astral travel, the season when I want to see you, astral travel, I will come to see you, astral travel, I love you so much, astral travel, with you, glitter, glitter, glitter; within the light we proceed." So the only new part is the last part, so I'll only dissect that. Basically, their saying when they die, they will proceed in the light to the afterlife with their friend. Hope you enjoyed my interpretation, let me know what you think! Maybe I missed something or something I said was inaccurate, but this is what I thought! The song was beautiful either way.

[@momofuru]

日本語でごめんなさい。あまりに熱いメッセージだったので、返信してしまいま した。 日本の文化や仏教観から紐解くとより面白い考察ができるかと思いますので、私の考えも少し紹介させてください。 “会いたい季節”　“灯篭” これらはお盆（８月）をイメージしていると思います。 お盆は死者が残された家族や親類に会いに来ると考えられています。残された人は、家の内外に灯篭を置き、故人が迷わず家に来れるよう準備し、迎え入れます。 “煙”　“香り” 日本では煙は死の暗示としてしばしば文学的に用いられます。また、香華といって、仏前に（線香）香りと花を供えます。仏教では人は亡くなると線香のよい香りを食するという考え方があり、亡くなってから極楽浄土に旅立つ四十九日までの間、故人は線香の香りを食べながら旅をするのです。そのため、亡くなってから四十九日までは故人の好きな香りを絶やさないようにします。 “くゆる　きみの香り” これは、前述の通り君が個人にむけてあげた線香がたちのぼっている様と、故人がきみの香りを“くゆる”（ 思いこがれる）思いを表現していると思います。 “きっと会うのでしょう何度でも“ 君が死んでしまったあとの輪廻転生への希望が込められているかと思います。 宇宙の果て、や星の描写も、宗教的なことからつなげてもう少し深堀りできるように思われます。自分が詳しくないので申し訳ありません。 私は、全体が３つのシーンで構成されていて、 ・自分だけが死んでしまって、君を恋焦がれている状態 ←実際はここ ・君も死んで、一緒に生まれ変わり来世でも出会う（ことへの期待） ・だからこそ、君は（自分も）こわがらなくていい（というなぐさめ） と解釈しました。 愛する人ともう一度会いたい、もう一度共に生きたいという気持ちを煌めく星の光の中でせつなく描いた、美しい歌詞だと思います。

kikuo really can implement his style into any sound he wants. i’m convinced he just owns music. music was created by kikuo.

THE CHINESE BIT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@Regothelego]

As a Chinese person, thanks for putting in part of my culture! 🦭

[@_r_lio]

今までと違ってソフトなテイストかと思ったら、ふわふわした雰囲気の中にきくおさん特有の儚さがしっかりと含まれていて何だか安心した…きくおさんは本当に常に進化し続けているイメージがある。変化するところの良さと昔から変わらずにきくおさんそのままのところの良さを両方持ち合わせているのはもう神の領域。

[@ossana913]

I am just so excited!!! I discovered Kikuo a month after they posted their last song, from there, I had 55 Kikuo song in my playlist. I just can’t wait to lisent to this one!!!! By the way, the images is pretty funny, I like it

[@monowoparaparakowasu]

i’m so glad you found the world of kikuo!!

[@erinsneedham]

I’m not sure if y’all know what this game is, but the world of OMORI brought me into Kikuo. People do these really smooth music videos with the characters in the game and one of them used Hole Dwelling. Once I heard it, I was like “Dang, this song is great!”, so I checked out the created. After that, the rest was history.

it’s very good but i can tell kikuo is going for something different, it sounds a lot more modern than his past songs. it feels like something you would play on a car ride when you’re in a good mood on the way to the beach or something ☺️

[@rise1504]

KZbin開いたらきくおさんの新曲が！早速拝聴しました。 今回の楽曲、とっても可愛らしい雰囲気で ミクちゃんの歌声、ハーモニー、使われている音色（おんしょく）も可愛いですが またまたそれだけではないという… 歌詞の 「きっと会うのでしょう　また会えるでしょう 　なら怖くないでしょう　また何度でも」 が、特に震えました…！ 曲の長さ、5：23の間　たっぷり別世界に浸れました。感動をありがとうございます！

i think this is a really pretty and unique song, and it sounds like a sharp contrast to kikuo's other words, at least, in my opinion! i would love listening to this on a warm summer day while laying out by the beach or the pool or something - nostalgic in some sense? can't wait to see the translations to see what they are, i'm super curious! and like always, kikuo has outdone himself!! thank you for the new song, it sounds amazing

[@super_nh]

kikuo used to make softer songs like this until the edgy, loud, intense ones got really popular. check out their less noted works such as kikuoworld and kikuoxsi_ku collabs

This song gives me big Kikuo Miku 0-1 vibes and I LOVE IT I was expecting something different but it's so refreshing and relaxing to hear a song like this! It reminded me of Tengoku e Ikou, Makkura Kurakura, Infinite Dreamer, and lowkey Pokkan Color. edit: Flat Line and Mizu no Naka de too!

[@tipotimidoalt]

wasnt able to come for the premeire, but i started listening rn and this is such a cool song as always! also i think the mixture with japanese and chinese is very interesting, makes me wonder if this song has to do something with chinese culutre... but i guess we'll never know until someone translates it!

[@monowoparaparakowasu]

i want to try and translate it, though my japanese is,, underwhelming at most (＞人＜;)

[@maddrumsticks]

I don't know a lick of Japanese, but I know a decent amount of Chinese that I could try translating 星 generally means "star" 体 commonly refers to the body 身体literally means body I don't know the rest of that sentence But 我去看你了means "I'll go to see you" I've seen other comments that translate much better than I can

[@michaelwolfe7970]

the Chinese section just says "astral, astral, astral, astral, astral projection/astral projection, I'm coming to see you" it doesn't have a lot to do with Chinese culture as far as I can tell

[@pottsun]

@@michaelwolfe7970 I updated the translation (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) MadDrumsticks is right. I changed the “Astral”s to “star” but “Astral projection” is still the same… I may be worrying too much about the translation, I knew 星 means star because I’m learning Japanese but I thought astral would sound better…. I don’t know T^T

[@neorbit808]

I don’t think it has any relation to chinese culture, however the lyrics are still very meaningful and beautiful!
