MARETU ft. 初音ミク "Suji" スヂ (English Subtitles)

the last lyric "笑い飛ばしたい"　is translated incorrectly. It does not mean "I want to laugh at you", but more of "laughing away the subject matter", treating child molestation as a joke.

Personally I think the unsettling tone of this song is supposed to invoke a feeling of uneasiness and scared-ness from the listener, just as a victim would when thinking about their abuser, since this song seems to be from the POV of the abuser.

i think the "what the hell" says exactly what the creator was trying to say. he is shedding light on this subject not because he feels this way, but rather strongly abhors it and it disgusts him. this also conveys his confusion about why this even exists. that's just my opinion though

[@turtlebab8781]

Vivi sauce??

[@beanis4022]

As far as "going too far" goes, I really don't think that exploring heavier and darker themes makes Maretu an abuse apologist or even a bad person. He was just trying to write a disturbing yet accurate song about how abusers feel during these situations, and I personally think he did an excellent job. The conflict of the narrator's thought process is really interesting and I personally love the fast pace. If you don't like disturbing songs personally or just have a sore spot for these stories, be my guest, but he really wasn't going too far with anything.

[@blubblubidk]

I think if someone is trying to make a song and puts pedophiles/abusers in a good light it wouldn't sound creepy. They'd try to make it sound nice and romantic, good, or at least try to make it sound good, like how they view the situation. But here maretu seems like they are PURPOSEFULLY making the song sound creepy and disgusting BECAUSE IT IS. They're putting emphasis on the fact that this is disturbing and wrong, and you should hate, or at least not trust these people. It's how an artist showcases a subject shows how they feel about it, and showcasing pedophilies in a creepy, horror song I think should show how maretu feels about pedophilia (creepy and horrific).

I feel like the fact the song sounds so catchy and cheery is the point the song's perspective is trying to make. The lyrics constantly drag towards the point, "Yes, this is right." While it isn't. It makes you feel wrong enjoying this song when you know the lyrics, right? "So many wrongs that just feel so right." Set in the perspective of the song, it's meant to feel right doing it, but we know it's not. This is just an interpretation, though. MARETU is an amazing producer...

[@lelduck6388]

okay okay yes obviously these lyrics are incredibly dark and disturbing but so are most of maretu's songs, so do people think maretu wrote this song about himself/his desires or something? no, this song is obviously from the point of view of a really messed up and practically psychopathic person and i personally find it interesting and creative, considering most songs of this nature are from the victim's point of view. so i really don't understand why people are freaking out about the lyrics so much??

honestly, this song makes me sick, as a victim. things like this can trigger really bad memories for someone without a proper warning. its not that people cant handle reality, its that its just.... gross, imo. im perfectly fine with listening to it (after a while, at least. when i first listened to it, it put me in a pretty bad state.) but some people wont be able to. its perfectly fine not to like a song about a really touchy, triggering subject. especially if youve been a victim of what its talking about.

[@sjnoraskingdom3915]

Well, the thing is that the insulters never stop to think for a second that there's a possibility that he himself was a victim...Really, if this is what most of his songs are about, there's a possibility that he himself went through those things.

[@buddingblossoms]

honestly the lyrics, while very disturbing once you connect them to scrumize, dont faze me all that much looking into the minds of criminals through art has always been an interesting thing to me, and not much of that kinda stuff dares to look into the minds of child molestors. im not saying pedophilia is okay at all, but i dont think this song would make maretu a "pedo". he simply likes to venture through the darkest subjects possible, which is pretty interesting tbh (this specific song is a sequel to another song anyways). i wonder if he went through something that inspired him to do this? i personally really like this song. thanks for uploading :D

[@nerf.ashton]

+Samemae i mean,, a few months ago, maretu's ex revealed (for lack of a better term) that he cheated on her with someone that was underage (however it was mentioned that the person was above 18, as underage in japan is under 20) so,, i guess he kinda has,, experience i guess? when it comes to this kind of stuff but its not like,, really bad tho.

[@uwuangel1998]

Well, interestingly, it was Maretu who made an apology for cheating on his then-girlfriend with a minor before the girlfriend revealed that the minor was above 18 (meaning 19). The thing that disturbs me wasn't quite the age since 19 is considered an adult in most countries but the fact that the minor has a serious mental disorder. I don't know what kind of disorder it is but I just hope that Maretu didn't take advantage of the minor because of the disorder or vice-versa.

[@cupidhoney9783]

Personally speaking you have every right to feel uncomfortable with this song, it heavily implies pedophilia and rape. If it makes you feel unsafe then this song isn't for you. You shouldn't feel pressured to like it. That being said I don't necessarily think that MARETU made this song as a way to air out any ~desires~ they had, but rather venting (as a csa survivor maybe?) and putting their own experiences in a different perspective. If that's the case then yeah we shouldn't be criticizing them about it.

[@cupidhoney9783]

Also I forgot to add this but judging by the "What the Hell"s I don't think maretu is supporting csa

[@FabricFather]

+Kiki Kaai this song is the abuser's perspective of the story between Scrumize and Suji, Scrumize being the opposite perspective (the victim) There are a lot of people criticizing this song for its lyrics, but did they feel that way about, say, monopoisoner? No, because it was part of a story that was being told through that song and two other songs. It's the same deal with Suji, it's bridge is from the ending of Scrumize. Forgive me for going off like that, but I really felt the need to clear that up. People are making a lot of assumptions about this song, but they're not stopping to think "Hey, maybe Maretu is telling a story"

[@cupidhoney9783]

[@Juknn]

I think people are missing the point of MARETUs style of music, It's horror based, Its supposed to be disturbing and eerie, the subjects and content of all his songs either come from a victim or a predator, this one is no different, However it tackles a very personal subject to many. It confuses me though because all of Maretus songs are about taboo subjects like this one. Mind brand is about sexual abuse(rape) and other abuse their partener or someone did to them, White happy is about also sexual abuse, Scrumize sounds almost really close to Suji except its the victim POV. For alot of people who have triggers like these should not be listening to maretu, it will make you uncomfortable and that is the point of these songs, if they dont unsettle yoy atleast a bit. You have got it wrong. Me personally, I think thats what makes him a genius, he is incorporating real disturbing scenarios into music but also that music just happens to sound extremely good. I think the disturbing taboo factor is what makes his music good.

[@artykeldeo]

when i was younger i never understood the true meaning of this song and why people found it so disgusting now i unfortunately understand the complex feelings of helplessness and the pull to want to do exactly what was done to you, your body, your innocence, everything about it, onto your assaulter. it’s an unflinchingly realistic, gritty, and disgusting view into the reality of someone who suffered/survived SA and it’s a really artful way to showcase how someone feels so deeply conflicted that they want to make someone feel like how they did. a fate worse than death.

[@lyrichal0202]

im sO late but i still listen to this regularly so i can completely understand your discomfort translating this as a victim of child sexual abuse myself (i dont think id be able to do this even as someone currently learning japanese), but i honestly believe that when maretu writes these songs from the standpoint of an abuser theyre NEVER from his own standpoint. i actually think he might write about his own experiences sometimes, but maybe because his songs about victimhood resonate so much with me. again as a csa victim i think the topics maretu writes about are extremely important for us as a society to remember exist and not erase, and i think it was good that you translated this as it has obviously sparked a lot of constructive discussion about sexual abuse and pedophilia

[@ca_lcium]

I first heard this song when I was 15, I didn't understand the lyrics at all. Years later, I decided to revisit some MARETU songs despite not liking the guy anymore, and now I finally get them and it makes me feel really uncomfortable... Especially because back in those days I was friends with a guy a year or two younger than me who was dating a manipulative adult. Edit: Coming back to this song and I've realized that "suji" is also a slang word for women's genitalia, namely the "slit" or however you may call it. That coupled with the image that looks like a hand spreading something open 😬

I just wanted to say I really respect your ability to still upload this song even though you did't agree with it or didn't enjoy it yourself, and I agree with your saying of "don't let the songs' meanings make you judge the artist or hold it against them." Personally, I do appreciate the dark mood that maretu has accomplished creating through this song. Almost like when I appreciate a really dark horror film. But I absolutely understand the lines being crossed morally and what not. I think the worst song for me as far as Vocaloid songs go was "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry" (Kikuo is a master but creates some creepy stuff), once I read the translation I felt sick to my stomach. But then, there's several ways to interpret the artists' meaning from the lyrics. I usually end up still enjoying most of these songs just because I appreciate what depth of emotions it paints. Also, they happen to be catchy... but it doesn't mean I agree or follow with it's meanings, like you said.

[@hoodiequeen9370]

spoopiighostii Very well explained. couldn't have said it any better

[@teas_otakux3582]

I love Maretus songs they talk about problems that people normally would ignore but Maretu basically makes you look at it. You obviously dont have to agree with the song to like it because that's not why Maretu made it. I think the "WHAT THE HELL" just further proves that Maretu greatly hates these things.

[@ketsuekizz]

The song isn't meant to romanticize it. It's literally an abuser talking to a child, it's going to sound repulsing lyric-wise on purpose. Its okay to feel uncomfortable with the song, but their whole style is talking about real world issues. If you feel "aw damn that's terrible, who the fuck really likes doing this shit" by listening to the lyrics, good, that's the intention. Only saying this cause though most people know this, there is def somebody out there who's going to start raging and trying to cancel MARETU if they get their hands on the translated version.

[@tyrannosa]

Literally because people forget things like SIU and Magical Doctor and Coin Locker baby exist? Maybe they hadn't been released or something because I dont understand how people think the songs Maretu makes are meant to be positive? Almost all the songs I hear from Maretu are 100% about real world issues.

[@Korogunso8]

I think this is hands down Maretu’s best work. The perspective and lyrics are spot on and overall the sound really frantic and unsettling which fitting for the subject.

[@MokoChamaa]

I personally don't know what is "bad" with this song. The lyrics are so dark and fucked up, but Maretu is used to criticize love's aspects, so a song like that should have been "excepted". Because that is also a love aspect. I personally see it as a continuation of Scrumize, but with the guy's POV. In Scrumize I think it was a girl who was forced to do things she didn't want but didn't want to betray expectations.With this song I'm convinced that it was her boyfriend sort of "bullying her". He killed her or she committed suicide. But he still "wants" her and that is what this song is all about. This is a psycho's POV so of course it's fucked up. I personally love this song AND its lyrics. But anyway, I trully understand why one may not like that song though. Thanks for translating it anyways !

+seal I personally got the idea from lines like "you've met a terrible end", "reattach that severed head back to your neck" and "sullied body", to name a few, as well as the sounds of decay and buzzing flies in the middle bit. The lines that sound rather guilty, like "I really, really am the worst", I saw as the narrator feeling disgusted for still being attracted to them when they're dead. I have no idea though, I could be completely wrong, your interpretation fits too!

[@MokoChamaa]

noizoid's stuff Same ! And from Scrumize's end, when the music slows down, could mean that her life is ending.

[@gun3881]

For people saying that they feel guilty for liking the song and that they feel like they should not sing along, think of it as a normal song and vibe, I understand it's a hard song and it talks about terrible things, but so do some songs in english talking about depresssion and people use it as memes, the same thing could be in this case (not a meme, but just a song to vibe to) so don't feel guilty becouse you're not harming anyone by vibing to this song.

[@plebweeb8868]

I know a lot of people would say this is about a pedophile's perspective but I don't think it's exactly that. When you look at the songs in order, it basically details a girl's life. I think that whilst this individual is older, it's in fact more or less about an abusive boyfriend who took advantage of the girl in question; Perhaps he's around her age. He's looking to ''become adults'' together, indicating he himself is young as well and has pressured her into having sex with him (the upbeat and fast music pushes this narrative imo). ''childish face'' ''innocent body'' gives me more the sense that he's not looking at a kid but at an inexperienced and vulnerable girl to take advantage of. He could actually be far older than her though, but it's what I'm getting from the song.

[@jmc7788]

Like always, great work from Maretu. Thanks for translating this one, as I fell in love with it the moment I heard it last night & was dying to read a translation. I actually liked the lyrics. Theres such a contrast between this and his other songs, where somebody is usually wronging him. Perhaps those experiences hardened the guy, making him treat others the way that he was treated.

Singable lyrics! Because why not? Amateur, incompetent actions but I won't hold back cause I know That fragile body of yours won't stay innocent evermore Let's strip our adolescence and finally become adults here now I'm so used to it Call it a fabulous way to kill time, you won't ever get bored Flaunt it as total convenience, gives you all that you want and more They say I can't, though… Scrutiny covers your callow face (To taste…) Once this passionate flame ignites, it can't and won't fade I know that very well it goes completely against So many wrongs that feel so right You've met with a dead end Wonder what will happen If I reattach that severed head back onto your neck Fantasize I'm faced with your bare and naked body What a pretty sight to see Yes, you are reserved just for me Seems like these urges are constant I try to reject them but I can't, from the moment they start there's no escaping this mindset Everyone must swallow something repulsive to become an adult. I know very well… That it's a passionate end, take my inferiority and turn it around Become a ruthless machine, superior to you and those all around But I don't need that…! Just watching you from afar is enough (Put blunt) Before I knew it then, "I've gotta try, try my best" Became an overused phrase of promises, dishonest (How pitiful of me to be) And so my being is smeared with a feeling so noisome "I know it will be a death so miserable to come" My breath is hitched, I don't know if my heart could ever pump As I think of my complicated arsenal Dreaming of you feels like someone's gnawing away at flesh and bone And all that's left is a lonely, moist taste of love Don't ever change at all, my prize "Just for my sake," look in my eyes! A frigid bite is your only reply… This feeling's something that cannot and won't be replaced Exploited to the point that sweat rolls down my face (Oh, what an awful way to go) You've met with a dead end Wonder what'll happen If I gently sew your stripped nails back into your skin Fantasize of tasting your small, demolished body! Now I think I really, really, I'm Simply the worst…! But it excites me! Ecstasy surrounds me, just to feel your muscles bend in ways that they shouldn't bend To have that image burned in my mind, it’s so euphoric! And my heart will rage on with needing to rob your chastity! (I wanna break you down) (I wanna see you break down) (I wanna touch your skin now) (And laugh as you fall down)

OOH the song "Scrumize" leads into this song right? This gives me a completely different interpretation. At first I thought it was pedophilia, but after reading the translation from Scrumize it sounds like it started off as I sort of mutual sinful relationship, there could have been an age gap though, it sounds like the first person was younger and more naive of what they were getting into. I think the first person from Scrumize regrets what the situation came to or something, but by then it's too late to escape from the person in "Suji". Hm... I'm glad I listened to that song too, now this one makes more sense to me. It's a really dark song, but I love it's complexity.

Honestly, I love Maretu and other dark producers and dark subjects, but the lyrics are a bit much, even for me. Although, I don't think that he went to far with this song. All of his fans know that his songs cover dark subjects, usually abusive or unhealthy relationships. Personally, I think that it's good that he's bringing things like this to light, and letting more people be aware of them.

[@ninlink1smh]

wow this is easily now my second favorite maretu song. And I am pretty sure the end of scrumize plays in the middle of this? Guess he is connecting his songs. Anyway thanks for the great subs even though you don't like the song

hey! im seein a lot of debate going on here abt this song n i wanna say as a csa survivor this song doesnt sound like its glorifying tht at all, to me at least. its using the pov of the abuser to highlight just how fucked up those ppl are(i believe the "what the hell"s are supposed 2 b the listeners own thoughts). this song very clearly paints a negative picture of csa. tht said if this song triggers u in any way thts 100% valid, its probably not the song for u, pls keep yourself safe

[@wetwank]

I'm pretty certain it's a POV switch/Prequel to Scrumize, it's not too hard to tell. A part from Scrumize is featured in this, and the lyrics sync up perfectly with it! It's quite obvious a story is being told through Maretu's series of songs. Even so, the lyrics really aren't even that bad? I may just be desensitized but there is plenty of worse stuff out there, plenty. Eg, I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry. So there's honestly not much to fret about? This song is a bit more lacklustre for me than Maretu's other works but it's still not bad and fitting.

[@wetwank]

Now that I think about it, it's perfectly obvious this song is linked to Scrumize..this is still a great song though

as a person who's been through sexual trauma i agree 👍

[@infochan185]

People call this song disturbing, but if you listen to modern American rap, a lot of it is about murder, drugs, prostitution, sexism, violence, rape, etc... I'm not hating on rap or anything (I'm rather fond of it), just making a statement. If you don't like these topics, then steer clear of this particular artist. It's not for everyone :)

[@aquablue99utau]

Wow, this one's disturbing even by MARETU's standards... It's very catchy, but incredibly dark O.o

[@mikumikuneshiteageru]

I haven't seen anybody point this out yet, but there are many songs in the connection, with the most obvious being scrumize. That is 2. A lesser known connection but still acknowledged is koukatsu, that I don't really understand the meaning to. That is 3. That's most of them right? Well there's another, possibly 2 or more. In suji, if you look at the northwest area of the art, the upside down words read "eye have you" for those who do not know, this is a song in the fried eye album. I don't know how this ties into the story though, and maybe it doesn't. The song is only melody, no lyrics. I heard there was another song hidden in scrumize's art, but I couldn't find it. Edit 1 ] - Fixed some grammar issues.

[@sharpyboy5084]

One of my online friends showed me this. They one day disappeared completely. I still listen to this to remember what it was like before they were gone

[@shinerstheseagull]

I understand your hesitation and since the themes of this song are very dark it's completely fine to be uncomfortable. However, like many vocaloid songs, this song is sung from the perspective of an evil character. Think about this: Stephen King's story "Morning Deliveries (Milkman part one)". The character in it is actively murdering people but that does not mean that Stephen King is a murder or wants to murder.

[@doritodorito492]

One thing I've noticed about Maretu's music is that bad people like bullies and abusers are portrayed through more typical Vocarock or idol-like music while the victims are portrayed through more of Maretu's usual style. Taste of Cockroach shows this really well.

[@30eiyuu]

Just want to say, thank you so much for posting this despite your misgivings about its content; and for that I have a great deal of respect for you.I think It's very important, especially in arts and media, to try to step out of our comfort zones and confront subjects we don't agree with or find disturbing. There's a degree of perspective/introspect one can gain from that, even if it's not an entirely enjoyable experience, and that alone makes it worth it -- that's also why artists create media like this in the first place, when it comes down to it. It's very easy, however, to simply dismiss things we're not comfortable with, and unfortunately that's a massive problem in our culture right now -- a culture of trigger warnings and safe spaces, of people afraid to be exposed to things that make them uncomfortable or hurt their feelings. It's refreshing to see someone showing impartiality for once. Mad props to you.

[@FreedomT1subs]

+30au Thanks, it's really helpful to hear this sort of thing.

+Lolita Lelta I didn't say anything was outright wrong with any of those things, but it's still intensely grating to see a generation of people *insisting* they be coddled and protected from all content that might make them uncomfortable. Either way, that's beside the point.

[@dollblooms]

+30au uh, no, trigger warnings are mostly for people who have been traumatized and don't want to be slapped in the face with content relating to their trauma, so no, it's not just about a coddled generation.

[@sk4dic]

@@dollblooms That's their intended usage and that is fine. But how they are used today as well is just ridiculous: A speaker people don't like comes to speak? A safe space with counseling is set up. This is incredibly counter productive in my view.

[@Melatonin.t]

For anyone who feels bad for listening to it, remember that Maretu's songs are always open to interpretation! Even if some lyrics can be explicit you can always try to imagine it as something else that is not a topic that disturbs you :]

[@munchkinchalateo]

for example, this song can be interpreted as self harming to resist intrusive thoughts ,, maybe not even sh, maybe just anything people would call annoying

[@mllebabylon9270]

What I meant to say is, although you mentioned you weren't totally supportive of this song of Maretu's, I want to thank you for translating it here anyway

[@pearlcore4285]

I personally love it and I mean the music and the lyrics. It's not just a listing of kinks, it also reflects how the protagonist hates himself for having these thoughs and wishes. You're all free to think of this song whatever you want, just don't judge anything at first sight just because the topic is a serious (/psychotic) one.

I have a question: How did we come to the consclusion that the abuser is a pedophile?

He even says "our innocence", which *can* mean that he is a child too. I'm confused.

[@Korogunso8]

“Childish face” and the heavy emphasis on how the love itself is grotesque. The is repeatedly stating they are the worst and they know it’s bad. I agree that this can be any abuser in general, but the attitude and tone of the song overall fits a pedophile but this still can be applied to abusers who think like this in general.
