My interpertation of this song is that its talking about how life doesnt even feel like life anymore. when you are just a little todler you spend most of your days in kindergarten. teenage years hit and you go to school for over 10 years five times a day. you wake up really early, get ready, go to school, spend half of your day (or more) in school, go home, do homework, study, you have little time left for yourself and then repeat everything for litearly years. You graduate and you have to find a job. wake up, get ready for job, spend almost the whole day in your job, go home and repeat. you become old and you need help from others to help you. "Its always been the same, so lets go back to sleep" you become tired of repeating everything over and over and over, yet you cant do anything because thats how society works, so lets go back to sleep... Its all a pettern, schedgule. This isnt life, it doesnt feel like one. Its like you are a robot and not a human.

[@Marcymeatmachine]

I interpreted it a bit like this but the reason it feels the same/kinda different is because the person lost someone and is trying to pretend it is the same(im not explaining it well but your interpretation is a big part of how i took it!)

i agree, but i think it has a little twist of nihilism, with the "go to sleep forever" and such

i love your interpretation... this comment makes me emotional

[@theoneandonlyavace]

Okay this song was really hard to interpret, however, what I got from it is that it’s about somebody struggling maybe with depression, or just struggling in general. The song talks about being tired from school, really wanting to go home. I think: They’re trapped in this depressive state, and the only way to escape is sleep. School drains the person narrating the song, and it’s tiring to even get home. It’s a struggle. Or, home is an escape from school snd then once they’re back they sleep, wake up, and repeat. A tortoise in a shell, as they sleep, they hide from their troubles, just like a tortoise hiding in it’s shell. It feels safe, surrounded by things it’s familiar with, such as sea life or flounder and sea breams.

[@Stelreda]

what isnt it just about a person repeating the same thing every day like wake up go to school eat ramune salad sleep repeat and they dont find any purpose of doing this so they just want to sleep, and their house is the 'tortoise shell' so they want to get home fast and sleep

[@mmm2121]

That’s my interpretation of it too. Exactly what I’m going through right now so it’s so relatable

[@justice999]

i love how Kikuo is using Qi Xuan more and more, it sounds so good and really captivates the Kikuo style!!

[@FoggierDuck]

is qi xuan the voice? if so then i prefer the older one

[@Fikamar27]

Agree. Miku is good, too. But I think Qi Xuan is more succeed to bring the child-alike voice. And besides he already used Miku for a long time (from his 1-6th album)... so I want to take a break for awhile :)

[@Zin_Adonai]

I like both, I had my doubts because I'm used to Miku, but so far I like the mystical, childish vibes Qi Xuan gives. What amazes me the most is how Kikuo manages to make them sound so alive.

[@Otori0]

I love this song so much and I'm so happy that his old style is back. The background sounds are so satisfying. Judging by the lyrics alone it might be about someone with depression seeing their life unchanging and with sleep being their only escape from it. But the feeling I got from the song was actually different, like someone perhaps kidnapped someone or is manipulating them but still convinces that person that everything is the same as always, that they just need to sleep because ''it's all alright'', while actually nothing is the same (the image video changing and distorting) and they are being manipulated. The house imagery might mean that they're kept locked in a house. At least that's how it felt to me, but both interpretations felt right.

[@mooshielove9151]

Once they got to the river I think that was when the kidnapping or change happened and now they’re trying to desperately convince themselves everything hasn’t changed. Everything is as it is when they are a sleep.

[@Doctorqueue]

I think it could also be interpreted as any grief-causing change, it could be losing someone. Maybe someone starts to be/becomes more abusive. Maybe they’re in the middle of a legal despuite and the childs life is being pulled in all directions while they have to still go do their day-to-day. There seems to be a point where something suddenly happens though, and the visuals seem to scew afterward just as you guys said. It could be a kidnapping or the death of a loved one (or animal!). Whether they’re still trying to live life after would tell us a lot, if they really are just trying to sleep it might be they literally have no choice but give into delusion…

[@YiSangLimbusCompany]

also i think that someone may be having depression because of school

[@Em_220]

[@nicetea855]

"flounder and sea breams" "tortoise shell" These phrases also appear in the song of the Japanese folktale "Urashima Taro". At the seashore, Urashima Taro rescued a tortoise picked on. and rode on the tortoise shell to the underwater castle(Ryugu-jo). He was welcomed by princesses and fish(Dance of flounder and sea breams). He had spent only a few days in Ryugu-jo Castle, but in that time 700 years had passed.

"Being run over by flounder and sea breams, Stuffed into a tortoise shell" BRO This is not just a song that represents the cycle of school

[@coolguy-cw7ng]

I absolutely love this vocaloid, it really sounds like a kid that's singing and it just flows smoothly

[@perryfrantz9271]

I agree! But she's actually an ACE Virtual Singer, not a Vocaloid ^^

[@nakumori]

i swear every song kikuo puts out never misses. there is genuinely no song by him that i find mediocre, i immediately like any song i hear from him.

[@alyssadanielle2336]

Kikuo, thank you for making music, I've been listening to you since I was in elementary school and now I'm 25. Your music has become an integral part of each phase of my life, thank you for sharing with us

[@rinne0]

May I join you?) Kikuo's music has been helping me to cope with depression and hard times for more than a decade. And this song was released on the day after another mental breakdown. I'm so grateful I can't find the words to describe it

[@alyssadanielle2336]

@@rinne0 thank you for sharing! It’s so hard sometimes, but we can get through this!! I’m proud of you for keep moving on!!!

[@Al-db9qg]

So happy to see another person in their mid twenties :')

[@everyonesplace1267]

where was kikuo uploading his music before youtube?

[@alyssadanielle2336]

@@everyonesplace1267 I feel like he’s always been uploading to Nico Nico and KZbin

[@atlantic85]

Kikuo, thanks for giving me the idea to get my new song out tomorrow! It’s been in the works for ages, but I finally got around to releasing it thanks to you! This bit was translated by DeepL/この部分はDeepLが翻訳しました： キクオ、明日新曲をリリースするアイデアをくれてありがとう！ずっと構想中だったんだけど、君のおかげでやっとリリースすることができたんだ！

[@wevebi]

i have a similar story. i made a song with qi xuan a few months ago but i went through a bunch of bad experiences while making it. the lyrics and melody ended up sounding too much like kikuo and other's songs. now i just realized it's okay for that to happen since i'm only starting with originals and i'm proud of my work sounding like one of my favorite producers!! if kikuo really does see your comment and this reply, thank you for inspiring me to make more songs and even release them!

[@ReferToAsQuote]

Aaaa i love reading this and the reply above you ( @wevebi ) it's always a great compliment to an artist that they inspired someone to make music!

この感じ好きすぎる永遠に聴いていたい

[@user-es9cj4wi5z]

ここのコメ欄で見た気がするんだけど 「ラムネのサラダ」ってのがレスタミンだって言うのが個人的にしっくり来てる レタスでODした時、 確かにずっと眠気に襲われて (歌詞で言うと、ずっと寝ていてね、とか、おやすみ、とか) 何にもわかんなくなって、幻聴、幻覚、 めまいとフラつき凄かった (歌詞で言うと、なんにも分かんない、とか、タイやヒラメが僕を轢く、とか、頭の道路が腐って崩れた僕にずっと話してる、とか） だから個人的な解釈としては レタスでODしてふわふわしてる人の曲なのかなって (レタスじゃなくても症状的に言えばダウナー系は殆ど当てはまるの思うけどラムネのサラダって歌詞だけはちっこくて白くて丸い、甘いレタスしか当てはまらないなって思った)

[@Rin-oh8oq]

やっぱりレタスですよね ｢やっと終わるんだ｣とかも、レタスやってる時はすごくつらくて早く抜けろ早く抜けろってなるから、それを再現してると思いました。

[@user-re9dt4qi8m]

久々にきくおさん聴きに来たらホントに変わらずに大好きな感じだ

[@breadisnice]

im so happy!! i love all of kikuo's songs and im really excited for this one to come out. sadly we need to wait a bit but it will be worth it

[@user-qz1rz2nw7t]

イラストも歌も音楽も神 そして今回は考察とか何も考えないで聴くのもあり （考察が全く出来なかった）

[@user-mc7vd6xx1w]

なんかめっちゃオシャレな音楽！！！不気味とオシャレが共存してる！！

[@user-xd2jx9jh6n]

穏やかに眠るようずっと声を掛けてくれてるのは『きみ』なのかな 頭の道路が腐って崩れた『ぼく』はもうきっと目を覚まさなくて 安らぎを願いつつも疲弊して終わりに安堵している様子がなんとも切なく不思議と心地良い

新曲ぶっ飛んだ､｡｡ きくおさんの曲はハズレどころか大当たりの曲しかない大好きです

介護疲れした人間みたいで最高だな

[@vitalkin8839]

absolutely obsessed with how this song pushes the new and old together, i love how much kikuo has grown with his skill and style but this gave me a huge nostalgia trip. it's obviously his newer instruments and style of tuning but idk, something about it feels so perfect for the song, especially with the name of it and the lyrics. it really is a reminder of how far kikuo has come as an artist !! love it!!! can't wait to see what the future holds..

[@super_nh]

glad to see kikuo draw again! I see so many houses

[@user-kb7ck1bc3x]

きくおさんの曲をまた1つ聞けて嬉しいです！ ありがとうございます！

Kikuo's songs has always been giving me wounded inner child vibes.

绮萱ちゃんの声の無邪気さがきくおさんの無邪気さと狂気をはらんだ世界観に溶け込んで素敵です……

Both old artstyle and music style. The title is literally called "As it is, as it is, without change."

i love this!! it sounds like an old kikuo song but with all the improvements in skill that kikuo has acquired over the years!

[@dahrd5087]

Kikuo, Your music is beautiful, but I have epilepsy, and it’s a little difficult for me to watch your music videos, I think I’m not the only one. Could you please release a separate video without flash if possible? I don't expect this comment to be noticed, but it's worth a try.

この曲聴いてたら寝たらいけないような気がして勉強頑張れます
