Some things worth pointing out: - The sparks in their eyes doesn't come back after the hypnosis scene except for Miku for a small frame before fully succumbing to it - After the hypnosis scene, Miku and Teto are in front of a green screen, which to me is more like they're just acting and they're on a set, based on their expressions they're shocked about something or is just how they look in that small moment where Miku doesnt know she was hypnotized and Teto is terrified of what's happening (theory) - At the very end you can see Teto's eyes going fully dark as she finally succumbs to the hypnosis - Considering there's a small segment in english, I believe Teto's hand being in ASL instead of JSL is to further confuse/make the Japanese audience unaware of the calls for help (considering a Japanese audience is gonna watch these videos first/the video was probably thought with them more in mind or as an easter egg for an international audience)

You should also point out Udin, the person who made this theory, says "for some reason, the sound is muffled for Teto" is probably cause Teto isn't succumbing to the hypnosis. When she's about to, the sound gets louder. Even before that, Udin says the song "sounds mesmerizing & looks hypnotizing," meaning its looks cute but is actually dark. So since Teto wasn't succumbing to the pretty sounds & all, she muted the mesmerizing song that would make her like Miku. And they probably did ASL instead of JSL because the people who made Vocaloid are Japanese I think so, Teto is making sure they don't know. Implying that perhaps the Vocaloid creators are hypnotizing them hence the green screen.

In the OG video, someone commented that miku probably hung herself to escape from reality which is why teto was so shocked, like she saw a dead body. Eyes going black means Dilated pupils. Neck popping is like the neck being seperated. And tongue out is usually in cartoons to show a character has died. So I think teto saw miku hanging herself and was like "Nah, I'd go into denial" and that's why her eyes turned black right at the end.

This is a very shaky theory, but I checked the Wikipedia page and it states that the enzyme Phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide is needed for purine biosynthesis which is vital for DNA synthesis. And I thought, the DNA synthesis part perhaps is a metaphor for the hypnosis, as in the person hypnotised will be changed entirely, from the very foundation of themselves. Take this with a grain of salt because I’m just blabbering lol also interestingly enough, purine biosynthesis might be used in the future to develop chemotherapeutic drugs. One final note, in the instrumental you can hear some gurgling noises, and it sounds like drinking something fast. Or it sort of sounds like a muffled “Go Go Go” so maybe whoever’s hypnotising and directing this whole thing is giving them instructions. Especially with the green screen part that suggests they’re acting/being filmed.

So I looked more into this molecule, which is abbreviated SAICAR. It's a normal part of brain function. But when the enzyme that's supposed to use it stops working, it builds up in the brain and starts turning into the similar compound SAICAriboside. This causes brain damage, mental deficiency, seizures, and lack of control over movements; but also an unusually happy appearance, where patients are constantly laughing or smiling for no reason. Idk I think it's kind of similar

Also, it’s involved in causing neurological illnesses similar to the aforementioned. This is quite the enzyme isn’t it lol

as someone studying biochemistry: phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide (SAICAR for short) (*not* the enzyme that helps create it) is an intermediate compound in synthesising nucleotides (information carrying units in DNA) specifically purine nucleotides (adenine and guanine) which differ from other nucleotides as they have 2 carbon rings instead of 1 and they break down into uric acid from what i can think about (i'm a science student my media literacy is in the dumps forgive me) i think this is honestly pretty relevant, thoughts below in hopefully simple terms 1. SAICAR is one of the last stages before the degradation cycle starts, so not much effort is needed to transform it into guanine or adenine, but that also makes it closer to breaking down entirely 2. purines are found in every domain of life and *literally everything* with genetic material, alive (animals, plants, bacteria etc) or not alive (viruses). you could say similar for pyrimidines but thymine is not found in specifically rna viruses on that, it could show that being hypnotised makes you barely alive and anything but human, since the compound SAICAR transforms into is found everywhere genetic information is carried unlike other choices of random organic molecules 3. SAICAR as a compound itself has also shown to aid in cancer cell proliferation in low glucose environments as most cancer cells can't salvage nucleotides like healthy cells and have to rely on de novo synthesis (where SAICAR comes in) so take that as you will hope this was helpful to you all, may the more theoretical people take over with this new knowledge + feel free to ask questions

Something i noticed was the colors of both characters, teto being mainly made out of red and yellows with just a little blue, with miku being the opposite having lots of blue, yet having very little red and yellow, red usually being used for "STOP, WARNING", with yellow also being applied in that same manner, blue meaning, "Contentment, Sadness.", Miku is content in the reality that was given or created for her to avoid her emotions without realizing the dangers of said reality, Teto being opposite, she is on her feet, understanding the dangers of the reality she and miku were given, however that blue in her outfit could mean that despite her objections and attempts to escape, she is slowly but surely becoming content with her reality.

If you think about it for more than two seconds, the song is and will remain culturally relevant for generations to come. I believe the song represents not only the conflict between blissful ignorance and accepting the bitter truth, but also highlights a conflict between generations. My generation is one defined by nihilism, of acknowledging the cruel reality - Teto. We know the world is screwed, that there are things going on in places we don’t see that decide the course of our futures without our own will or input, and that society as a whole is heading down a course I’ve seen described as “The lamest dystopia ever.” We all exist, working, surviving and like Teto, giving off feeble cries for help; but we never live. Not like how generations before us could afford to. How many young people are trapped working bare minimum wage to pay off exorbitant loans? To put food on the table? To have a roof to sleep under? We all secretly cry out for help, like Teto in the MV. While in the very beginning, she appears to attempt to offer a contrary to Miku’s perspective, calling it the “Ultimate solution,” she backtracks almost immediately and suggests that turning to escapism is probably the only real solution to the problem. I believe this mirrors a lot of young adult’s perspectives when it comes to the problems we face in our society. We can initially go, “Oh, it’s not that bad! There surely is a solution!” But once we think about it more, we start to realize that maybe there isn’t exactly a solution after all, and that the self-preserving nihilism that Miku’s perspective seems to embody is the only real one. Yet, at this point, it is just a suggestion, both for us and Teto. As we go further into the song, we see Teto attempting further to cry out for help, just as we do. We don’t have an answer for the troubles we face in society; there is no ultimate solution. We can just ask for help, but there’s no guarantee of receiving it. At one point, Miku becomes hypnotized into escapism fairly shortly, while Teto resists and resists the pull towards it. This is a symbolism of the individual vs. the surroundings. We see our peers turn their eyes away from reality and slip into that blissful ignorance of escapism, and we feel that temptation to follow; but we resist nonetheless. We don’t know why - perhaps it’s that lingering, unsettling unease behind the very concept of forgoing reality for a sweet dream. We continue to struggle, to ask for help. But we don’t give in. At least, not yet. Eventually, we come to the conclusion: We are, as Miku and Teto put it, “Tailor-made for this generation.” I’ll come back to this line later. We are fashioned to work by the systems that govern us, by the hands in the shadows that play with us as their pawns. To work, to struggle, so that the top becomes increasingly out of reach for us, while we get swallowed by the bottom. Miku breaks at this point - prior to the final parts of the song, she “Shuts down.” Our vulnerabilities become monetized on TV. They give us medicine, but refuse to give us the cure. We become hooked on the drug of escapism, a lie with the appearance of vulnerability - yet still makes our hearts beat arrhythmically. Miku accepts the lie, as do many of us. After all, what’s the point of facing reality if it just hurts? Why face the cold truth and depress oneself, when you can escape into a dream and be happy? What’s the point of resisting? Teto eventually falls into this hole as well. No one is immune. No one is safe. We all dance violently to an invisible song, thinking we’re unbound; but even this “free will” is manufactured. And the way it’s going, I doubt it’ll ever become natural again. Look at gen alpha. They are addicted to the internet before they’ve even hit the double digits. They, like Miku, fall for the escapism quickly and assuredly. Without resistance. Without thought. Because it’s easy, it’s accessible, and they don’t know - they’ve never known - the alternative. When we think about ‘generation,’ what comes to mind immediately isn’t just the generation of people; but also generations of technology. The new generation of iphone, the next generation samsung, the new this, the new that. It can be argued that the song, in a way, addresses gen alpha (The “You” in “You are tailor-made for this generation,”) and claims that they are tailor made for the next product. They were tailor made to consume. As such, they become addicted, hypnotized, mesmerized. Gen Z is afflicted by nihilism because we know that things could be better; they just aren’t. We resist because we know that this is wrong, and that this shouldn’t be how life is. But gen alpha doesn’t know that. They become mesmerized by short-form content, overstimulation, everything; and as such, even their short-term memory lessens to be worse than a fish’s. Miku and Teto symbolize these conflicting generations. Teto is an older generation, struggling, resisting until we cannot resist anymore. Miku is the new generation. The song isn’t just a cry to the individual, but a cry to society at large. Because the way things are going, one day, we won’t be able to cry. We will accept this lie and fall into escapism - we won’t even look at reality in moderation anymore. Our eyes will glaze over from flashing lights and upbeat music, and we will become mesmerized, until we are unable to cry for help.

This is a great comment, really good analysis of the song. I hadn't made the connection that Teto and Miku are the older and newer generation respectively. I wanna give my own interpretation on the look at reality in moderation line, the way Teto ends up being hypnotized is because she didn't look at reality in moderation, lots of people have fictional characters, online personalities or personal beliefs they keep to cope with reality, while Miku gave out right away because she actively sought out the escapism, Yeti resisted so much that she tired herself out and went blind from too much reality. Part of the message of the song be it intentional or not is that escapism is a resource used by humans since we became civilization, it's okay to believe in a few lies in the same way you should always reality check yourself every once in a while, too much of either and you end up deluded by your own thoughts, so far I've believed that the way to survive the modern era Is to stay on social media for the human contact and for participating in society and staying informed but also not letting yourself go too much into it, I disagree with the nihilistic perspective on a personal level because everything is gone only if you completely disregard looking at reality and escapism in moderation.

I have an even darker theory to why that happened. As we see miku beeing crazy, it's not that she went insane, it was more because she killed herself since her movements were less human and off beat, as if she was being controlled like a puppet. Also, her neck when seemed crazy was way thinner, as if she hung herself. Also, her black pupils and tongue sticking out are common ways to show cartoon characters being dead. So when Teto's eyes go dark, it wasn't her being hypnotized, it was her commiting suicide like Miku.

Also she poses like puppet in the last chorus) -At the start of the song, there's a split second word that says "HYPNOTISE" in kanji. -Miku and Teto wears normal shoes at the start of the video. In the chorus, Miku is shown to be wearing roller skates (likely to trip) and Teto doesnt change shoe. -Teto almost trips meaning she is almost hypnotized. (My theory for Teto slmost tripping is that since Miku wears roller skates, Teto is trying to save her but almost fell into the hypnotism) -Teto is constantly asking for help -When the hypnotize scene begins, Miku is swaying with the background. The skies also stopped meaning she got hypnotised in just a day. While Teto's background actially changes for 10 times means that she has been resisting the hypnotize. -In the end, Teto still gets hypnotize. (Another theory suggest that she is acting to be hypnotized just to stay calm) Thanks for reading this 😊 Edit: I forgot theres more -In the quiz scene, the first letter for each word spells H.E.L.P and the fourth letter after the Hat one spells S.O.S, also she signals the famous help sign at the quiz scene. So Teto was asking for help 3 times in that scene, showing that she is so desperate for help. -Theory: The diamond shape pupil means that they are under hypnotism, but they don't realize it. The circle pupil likely means that they are aware of the surroundings

I don't know if everyone hasn't noticed this but at1:04 or so, Teto literally said "someone, please help" or smth like that.

Did anyone else notice? Start the song, and focus on Miku’s PUPILS. Focus on what shape they are (a diamond/cross shape right now.) NOW, watch until 14 seconds. See how her pupils change into a circle? Her pupils go back to the diamond shape when Teto comes in at 28 seconds. This all goes for Teto as well. At the start, pupils are the same shape as Miku’s. A diamond shape. Watch it at 28 seconds (focus on Teto.) Her pupils are diamond/cross shape now, but if you watch until 34 seconds, BOTH of Miku’s and Teto’s pupils go into circles. Their pupils change back into cricles throughout the WHOLE song. (The quiz through the whole song is think…)

TW: Mention of hanging At the end, Miku's pupils are dilated, and her tongue is sticked out, her neck isn't in place, your eyes are dilated when you're hanged, your tongue is sticked out when you're hanged, and your neck would obviously not be in place, not sure if this indicates something but I think it does.

I myself thought about how it coud be commenting on the current state of the creative field, since there are several tactics used by, for example, reddit story tiktok accs (several interruptions during the video (the comic style switching into them swaying side by side, the test, the hypnosis segment, closeup where Miku gets "switched") lots of flashing and bright colors, constant bouncing and movement, the divide of the screen) in the mv. The greenscreen after hypnosis suggests they are in fact filming, and I remember someone pointing out that Miku and Teto are dressed like fastfood workers (waitress and manager respectively), and if I were to continue that train of thought, Teto may be more experienced, while Miku is a rookie or somebody still not fully aware of how things work in the industry. Therefore Miku gets hypnotised by what I assume is someone behind the camera (probably a higher-up) faily easy since she had no idea that what's happening could be bad/wrong, and Teto resists because she already knows better or she may know that is not supposed to be happening (in the greenscreen Miku is looking in innocent confusion at the camera, and Teto's expression is saying "hey that was not in the script, what are you doing"). They also start the video with stars in their eyes, but they stop appearing after the hypnosis. Teto's white pupils (possibly simply a light in her eye) also disapear after Mikus eyes turn black, but that's probably because the hypnosis is starting to work. (I don't wanna write more rn, so if anyone could remind me tomorrow that'd be cool, bc I didn't get into the lyrics at all yet) 9:46

As a hypnotist, I'll give my two cents: Hypnosis is not viewed the same way in japan as it is in the west. I think cause japan's society is a lot about conformity, it's seen very differently as almost just a natural thing to listen to societal pressures. There's the phrase "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down" I imagine what the song is alluding to. I'm an american so clearly it's not accurate but societal view of hypnosis is pretty different depending on the country.

There is so much detail and references in the song and MV There are different ways to view the lines as well (but it's gonna get checked too soon so I'll put it here) and I also think you didn't cover much of the industry side of the song so I'm still waiting for an hour analysis with every single reference detail and lyric analyzed in the MV or a 2 hour one... Anyway I thought that the chorus (and some previous and later ones) lines can be interpreted like this: 全てが染まっていくような subete ga somatteiku youna To an event where everything gets tainted, 事象にご招待 jishou no goshoutai You are invited さらば! saraba! Farewell! (The official translation decided this was escapism but when I edited Shinoataya's translation I thought it could be acquainted with the next lines like the original version of the translation) こんな時代に誂えた konna jidai ni asuraeta The vulneravilities of the 見て呉れの脆弱性 mitekure no kijakusei outward appearance tailored to you in this age (reminded me of the selling wounds line, you want to overwork) 本当の芝居で騙される hontou no shibai de damasareru You're deceived by true acting 矢鱈と煩い心臓の鼓動 yatara to urusai shinzou no kodou And your heart beats carelessly loudly all pumped up/This heart’s beating all recklessly too loudly. (Miku is tired of being human and wants to be manipulated or Teto is too nervous and the wrong people will notice despite her doing obvious help signs) 残機は疾うにないなっている;; sangi wa tou ni nai natteiru My remaining lives is dwindling ;-; 擦り減る耐久性 suriheru taikyuusei and my durability is running out. 目の前の事象を躱しつつ me no mae no jishou o kawashitsutsu I'm trying to run away from the event(s) in front of me, but 生きるので手一杯! ikiru no de te ippai Living has me at my limit!

The star shapes seen in the video actually symbolise immortality, which may lead to later theories. Also, at the very end of the video, she closes her eyes and opens them again but they’re black, like Miku’s, showing she gave up..Another thing, is in the Greenscreen scene, it shows that even their background and place they live in is fake. And the last thing I noticed was that when Miku was hypnotised, there was a black choker around her neck. Maybe that’s where the strings from being ‘a puppet’ was??

the red/blue pill comparison is really good! I honestly forgot about that. I really enjoy the animation in the music video, the entire thing is giving me digital horror vibes, especially the quiz scene that reminds me a ton of early flash games with screamers at the end. Finally, I don't think that Teto "can't hear" the music and avoids being mezmerized. She gives me more of the vibe that she's type of person that "knows too much to be happy". When we talk about cults for example, there's a resistance we all have to indrocination. When that resistance is worn away though, you're more likely to lose yourself into said cult. Generally, knowing more about the world and socializing with more people will help with increasing your resistance, but it comes with the pain and weight of reality becoming too much. Teto is calling for help, but she also knows it's in vain as help is not coming. Her only connection left is to someone (Miku) who's already given into being mezmerized to a non-existent world. As some people would say: do not give into astonishment.

Actually I kinda relate to Teto, aware of the painful reality we all live while you don't even try to find meaning in it but instead to be safe from the daily hypnosis via diverse analogies of the same faulty logic, not fully complying whilst wanting to let the one on your front see through reality's lies but while they're hypnotized they can't see beyond the one concept that has been put on them. I hope y'all understand what I mean here

Ever since the second hour the song has been out, I’ve been viewing it from a contextual perspective (aka wondering about what the heck is going on with Teto and how we can save her from the world the two girls got thrown into), so much to the point where I didn’t even look at the song from a literal perspective of what it was trying to say! I love the layers of the song plus the music video, even little things representing the two girl’s arguments on reality such as in the thumbnail Miku being behind the star (escapism) and Teto being in front of the star (realism), so thank you for commenting on the song! Love your analyses!!!

Some stuff yall's might not know abt this animation :3 In the thumbnail,if you look at the body shape of miku and teto (and the 13 pointed star) The confetti represents sanity. Few confetti means they're still sane. A lot of confetti means they're insane Also,teto's fighting the hypnosis. That's why after miku gets hypnotized,she's standing still,from day from day,trying to endure it. At the end of the animation,teto gives up fighting the hypnosis,ans her eyes turn black. A three pointed star (or a tridecagram) Represents immortality,so maybe miku is now immortal in the part after she gets hypnotized (???) Miku wears rollerblades,which is unsteady and doesn't have brakes,which most likely means if she falls into a "sweet trap",she can't turn around because rollerblades don't have brakes. On the other hand,teto wears normal black shoes,which are steady and have brakes,which most likely means she still can turn around when there's a "sweet trap". If we look at teto's pupils,at the start,it's a star. After the part when miku gets successfuly hypnotized,her star pupils turn smaller. Also,after miku succeeds to get hypnotized,her body bends backwards

But with psychological tricks, corporations know exactly how to hypnotize us, to make is fall into meaningless noise over using this tool to speak up. I also like bow Miku’s outfit looks kinda waitress-ish? I don’t know if it’s relevant, but when we talk about the psychology tricks used by media, fast food commercials are the first example. And just… love the idea of the music being what’s hypnotizing and Teto being deaf as a way to show immunity.

Also the 4th letter in each (not including the 1st word) spells sos in the quiz Also the star is a tridecagram which represents immortality which I guess could be a reference to how all vocaloid characters are immortal (Miku, Teto, etc...) or something else Idk ALSO the thumbnail of the song looks like an SOS, Miku and Teto as the S and the tridecagram as the O ALSOOOO, Miku seems to be on the layer behind the star which could mean she has already chosen to be ignorant while Teto is on the layer infront of the star which means it took a while to fall into the sweet trap Plot twist! Teto is probably high asf and this is just what she is seeing, but she realizes things aren't normal and is asking for help in the "trip" (kinda useless no one can see it except you) which could also explain the weird things she be seeing like DEMON MIKU (I WILL refer to her as that) and Teto falling into the "sweet trap" is her getting overdosed | Secret ending! : Drugged Teto ending

Even at the game segment, they're simple words kids can easily spell, well. Except for that last one, of course. Not sure if it's really important, but i just wanted to share! Oh, and also their outfits, I know it's usually for aethestics for them to be wearing outfits, but it reminds me of those Japanese kids program where the adults would dress up as like daycare workers, an apron/overalls.

Seriously now I like to hear the analysis of Vocaloid songs even this song after I read the comments about what's going on inside the MV. In my opinion, it is so true that kids nowadays are hypnotized by the device (gadgets like phone, tablet etc...) and they can't observed what's going on around them in reality. Yet, personally I did hypnotized myself with the gadgets in the past (during my teenage) my dad was found out that I keep my phone on my hand 24/7 and he snitch it from me. Thankfully I took a Red Pill like Teto to wake me up to reality world.

My thought about teto... Okay, so yes, the screen swayed side to side like miku's but as you can tell, Teto didnt follow the swaying of the screen, instead she stayed still and blurred her eyes to avoid being hypnotised, and i thjnk the shut down part was cut off cause Teto's control of her body didnt get shut down unlike Miku's. And the parts where she asked for help WERE calls for help, tand also, when Miku went insane, teto stopped bobbing up and down for a few seconds, and Miku didnt even stop dancing when it was Teto's turn. And if you could tell. Miku was starting to dance off beat and didnt stop dsncing when the screen was covered. Little easter egg at the end, Teto actually got hypnotised as you can tell that her eyes went black, her sweat disappeared and she smiles.

Honestly the mental health section hit hard. What stuck with me was the part about how are reason to keep pushing life out is because of small things. As for many (including myself) it’s even closer than that as we only survive because we don’t wanna feel the pain of death (mentally and physically) we don’t want to mentally feel the pain it causes others knowing they couldn’t save us. Knowing that we won’t be able to live life to the fullest. None of us want to mentally hurt anyone. That keeps us going. As well as physical we don’t want to physically feel the pain of dieing.

So this song about how reality places a significant focus on superficial appearances and deceptive behaviors, rather than on deeper qualities or values. This is why people turn to escapism when they become disillusioned. However, indulging in escapism for too long can lead to falling into another illusory trap. On the other hand, if you focus on reality for too long, you can also become disillusioned. So, it is important to strike a balance and engage in moderation. That's probably why Teto was asking for help silently. She was just as confused as Miku about what to actually do, and to outright ask for help is 'a feeble cry, shameful conduct,' as Miku put it. That's why the lyrics 'optimal solution…?' is ended with a question mark. Also, that's probably why she wasn't hypnotized as quickly as Miku, since she was still seeking help. Eventually, she too was hypnotized into shutting down. But hey that's just a theory! A music theory!

I always interpreted Teto's eyes going black and her smile not as her giving into the hypnosis, but rather wearing that false facade everyone wears when they have to face reality. Also known as: Fake it till you make it. Look closely. Her face doesn't go slack like Miku's when shes hypnotized. Her smile is controlled. She doesn't have those flashing eyes, none of it. She's not hypnotized, but she HAS given into something, and that's the motto she's representing: Reality. While Miku gave in completely to blissful ignorance, by allowing herself to be hypnotized and giving up all semblance of control over herself, Teto swung too far in the opposite direction. Initially, she was holding out hope for someone to save her, which is why she shows all those signals, but at the end of the song, she does what most of us do when we try to live but find it so difficult. We shut down. We give up and just trudge through the days in abject misery. Instead of relying on false happiness and fake beliefs, we pretend that reality is better and wear a smile, even when it's not and we're just deluding ourselves. That's what Teto does at the end. She doesn't believe she can be saved anymore, but she won't give into the hypnosis, so she just smiles and continues to play along, pretending everything's fine, sucking up to her horrible situation because that's the only thing she can do.

11:03 this hits hard, i found myself willing to live just because "imagine how many songs you will lose" or "how will that anime ends", idk it's weird, i know someone that is on this world today just because no one would feed his cat if he passed away, reality sure is dark
