Let’s leave all the difficult things to do after nighty-nights, ‘kay? I’ve noticed that this world once wanted to be ambiguous, and that no one was able to become a liar. No matter what happened past then, it all became irreparable to us. 2:11 Splitting this quarrel exactly in half, where both sides are to blame. Both the liar and the one being lied to shall swallow a thousand needles. (5) There’s no problem even if you say those disappointing words. These eyes turn round and round, see, they’re in inverse. Please tell me if it’s ✕ or 〇. (4) 2:24 If here and there are the front and back, Then where exactly does the front start and the back exist? If you split it in half, then one by one in halves, the front and back will increase respectfully! 2:36 That’s what it’s like, right? This faker’s dance. See, ratata~ The correct answer is incorrect! Isn’t this laughable? Life is a faker’s dance. 2:48 A series of nonsensical steps ride on with the rhythm; Rata-tatata! Let’s clap our hands. I’ll expose your true face and nature! Rata-tatata! Please tell me about it, ‘kay? 3:01 Please let me hear about it! Before we ourselves in this manner forget even about our own selves. 3:11 In this circular world, I dance along with you.

You understand, right? Life is a faker’s dance. (1) This sentence could be seen in two ways: one with the ending being "もの か" (question) or "ものか" (accusation). The Chinese Translator went with the latter, and I did the same after thinking that it fit better with the lyrics. However, after they consulted some of their Japanese friends, they found that everybody saw the sentence as a question than an accusation, therefore why we changed the lyrics shortly after. (2)「右に同じ」is a statement that means “ditto” or “like he said.” (3) *Mainspring* - the principal spring in a watch, clock, or other mechanism. (4) ✕ and 〇 are the symbols for right and wrong in Japan, respectfully. Therefore, this line could be seen as 「Please tell me if it’s wrong or right.」 (5) This is a reference to a song children sing when pinky-promising: [指きりげんまん 嘘ついたら針千本飲ます 指きった]. I couldn’t find a translation for it, but the general meaning is that whoever breaks the promise has to swallow a thousand needles. _^^^Thank you to uni_JZLSX for pointing these out._ # Please give credit if you are using this for other purposes # There may be mistakes within the translation, so please take both lyrics and interpretations with a grain of salt. # Translation made with the help of uni_JZLSX’s Chinese Translation: mafuclub.com/translation/ikasamadance/

It’s quite obvious that the song shows a theme of everything not being merely black or white, or wrong and right. With the main character dressed with triangles, the shape that is neither 〇 or ✕, being symbols of correct and incorrect as well as the shapes of the previous protagonists in his vocaloid series. We can also see that on her shoes, one of them is 〇 whilst the other is ✕. This can also be seen in her hair, which is split in half with colours to show her duality. Many parts of the song reference contradictions, such as being correct yet incorrect, or agreeing and opposing. There are also many parts where characters are being weighed on a scale, the symbol of justice and balance. These show the reality of our world, where almost nothing is truly right or wrong nor universally equal and it all comes down to perspective. The song seems to be spreading a message of one’s true self not being purely limited to right or wrong. The protagonist seems to be conflicted on whether she should be on the right or wrong side, seen in the line “Please tell me if it’s ✕ or 〇.” However, this mentality is seemingly thrown away later in the song, as she embraces this contradictory identity, believing that one cannot be truly expressed by merely one side. “Life’s just like a faker’s dance.” I believe that this line can be interpreted into many parts. The people, seeing this girl as neither right or wrong would most certainly dub her as the faker, for faking a new identity for herself that’s not accustomed to society. Yet, they themselves are too, fakers in this facade of life, for hiding who they truly are under a mask of extreme duality. And if you haven’t noticed, I would like to point out the fact that Mafu probably spent an extra few thousand yen for the beauty that is 3:46. Background, far right.
I hope Mafumafu makes a version with his voice Edit: *NOW I CAN DIE IN PEACE*

yeah it seems even more upbeat than his past songs!! i might be wrong because i havent read through all the english lyrics yet but the vibe from the art and instrumental are way less ominous. trcoot has improved in her art a lot too 🥺🥺 ive always admired her art ❤️
there is 2 sentences appear after the lyric 「XO頂載」 “ If you're right, then I'm right, too” this sentence should refer to “Merry Bad End”, saying the one who bully others always believe they are right because everyone is doing the same thing “I don't know what's wrong with me” this should then refer to “Hello Dystopia” As I guess, Hello Dystopia is describing the broken heart of the bullied girl in Merry Bad End and the situation of Cyberbullying in SNS. ( Just my guess, sorry if I am wrong ) The girl does not know what is going wrong with her The new song IKASAMA DANCE should be the “happy ending” of the girl, after “Merry Bad End”, “Hello Dysutopia”, “Jigsaw Puzzle” and “Deja vu” I do not sure if “Jigsaw Puzzle” is included. I just see the Puzzle background of the mv and guess it. I like these song and the series it linked, also the words “Are you happy” and those that i just talk about. Thank you for reading. I am sorry if i make any names wrong as i just translated it from Internet. Just my guess above :) Thank you mafumafu for making such a great song for us also.

I think Hello Dystopia is about the bullies themselves and how them living in a toxic friend group is thought by them as sort of a utopia but in reality, is a dystopia since all they are causing is destruction. That line saying "I don't know what's wrong with me" is probably the bullies slowly realizing what they are doing is wrong.

i cant say it very well in japanese , but mafumafusan, your tuning for the kagamines is amazing!!!!! まふまふさんのツニングは本当に凄いです!!!!僕はアメリカ人から日本語は上手ありません。ごめんなさい!!
*Mafumafu-san's achievements in 2020:* - He finally has a playable Vocaloid song of his in a Project Diva game (and he also composed 2 songs for Project Sekai 😊 ) - He and Soraru made a new mini-album - He debuted as a VTuber and held his first-ever singing live stream - He did a surprising face reveal in a music video (without his mask for the first time ever!) - He and Soraru held their first global online live - He composed a Vocaloid song, in which Kagamine Rin & Len sound like how they should 😄 - He does not get sick anymore while playing FPS games (in fact, he got better at playing them 😊) Am I the only one who finds this tuning great? Don't get me wrong, I always liked his Vocaloid works too (that's how I got to like him in the first place), but the tuning here is so different. It's not high-pitched and suits the music so well. Also, I really love the little references to the other songs in this series. I really enjoyed this as I always do! ❤ Thank you so much Mafumafu-san! ❤ (Oh my, I never got this many likes before! Thank you so much! ❤ 😊 )
