When she sang that one part that goes like, _”All I remember is that I forgot_ _Leaving a void within, but now I’ve met you_ _I don’t know your name or what you look like_ _Yet you feel so familiar_ _Making up for what we’re missing_ _We laugh and we smile_ _Within this world,_ _You are somewhere_ _For now we’ll keep going on_ _Without a name_ _Even if all of this turns out to be a mirage_ _I’ll still feel your presence out there_ _I don’t know your name or what you look like_ _Say "goodbye" and it will all be over_ _Without you, this void will only grow_ _No matter what, I’ll find you soon_ _Within this world,_ _Where are you?_ _Right now_ _I’m here,_ _I am_ _Nameless_ _A world of darkness surrounds me_ _As I fall headlong_ _Because I am nameless, this world_ _Will forget me, and I’ll disappear_ _But if I am what you are looking for_ _Through the void of my heart_ _A wind will blow from me to you_ _And a bird will come meet you_ _Within this world,_ _You are somewhere_ _Now, I’ll keep going_ _As Mumei”_ I felt that.

@@DBT1007 To be totally fair, despite the uplifting feel of this song, the embrace of what her name means, it's still pretty dark. I mean, check how the video ends. Soft and sweet, but still very melancholic and not without a touch of existential horror lurking beneath the saccharin tone.

[@stiimuli]

I heard they played this video on the screen behind her. I wish I could have been there =(

[@omenousraven672]

I think the best part of the song is when she says "As Mumei" because the lyrics didn't change, she just came to know herself rather than being nameless.

[@Akaryusan]

Its definitely the most beautiful part of the song

[@gazelle_diamond9768]

I think a better translation for that would be "Mumei is my name" to parallel the first version of that line a bit better, but obviously that doesn't really change anything with the song itself.

[@Kozaki09]

It kinda did actually, at least in the japanese subs it was first written with the kanji "無名" then later on the last part it was written in katakana (ムメイ) like how her name is written

[@mikukumiku]

@@gazelle_diamond9768Not really. まま simply describes a state of being, so Xのまま is to be (or remain) in state X. Since the entire sentence is to live (in the declarative using よ), then both lines will translate to "For now, we are living/I will go on (living) as [mumei]". The main distinction I think here is that the second time around when her name is translated directly, the English decides to capitalize it as "Mumei", making it clear that the persona in the song is, in fact, Mumei. But since the title of the song is a lower case "mumei", this implies that Mumei is encouraging us to self-insert in her story of self-actualization (i.e. going from a common noun "mumei" to a proper noun "Mumei" - an actual name, no longer "nameless". EDIT: quite similarly, the Japanese subtitles does this as well transitioning from 無名 to ムメイ). This is all the more reason why I feel that the song is so well thought out in terms of language, musicality, and visual spectacle. Despite Mumei trying to downlplay everything in her follow up stream, I think she really outdid herself this time. Props to Mumei, TKN, and Ootori-san for doing such an amazing job.

[@thecrazycapmaster]

I just read this comment while listening to the song, and suddenly the whole meaning of the song clicked in my head and gave me a big ol bucket of feels. I didn’t realize how much Mumei’s VTuber name actually means to her. (I know she’s talked about it and someone clipped a 15 minute segment of it, but I haven’t watched that yet. But I bet it’s gonna leave me in my feels when I do watch it.) EDIT: YEP, I watched it and got another bucket of feels I wasn’t prepped for 😭

[@hiroschneider4211]

無名(Mumei) in Japanese =not famous =anonymity =obscurity =nobody knows =without a name =nameless but she sang "as Mumei" because she is Mumei

[@novalisk]

If you can do a breakdown for Nanashi too, as that's part of Mumei's name play (even if has nothing to do with the song specifically), it would help people realize how playful of a name Nanashi Mumei is.

[@Nobody-dd3hr]

Ofc I know her.

[@vergillives9890]

I didn't know thank you so much

[@user-mo1ko1ta5n]

"七詩(nanashi)"ってのは日本語でそのまま七つの詩(seven poems)って意味なんだけど これはnamelessを意味する"名無し(nanashi)"と発音が同じなわけ ちなみに"ムメイ(mumei)"はカタカナなので音を表すだけ 漢字と違ってカタカナ自体に意味は無いからね 無名(mumei)を意図してつけられてる名前ではあるけど つまり 七詩/名無し(nanashi) ムメイ/無名(mumei) 性と名どちらもnamelessという意味が込められてる そういう言葉遊びによる名前だね 日本語って面白い

[@hiroschneider4211]

in addition: Nanashi(名無し) = Wago(和語), Mumei(無名) = Kango(漢語) Simply thinking, "Wago(和語)" means Japanese traditionaled word "Kango(漢語)" is Japanese but Chinese-origin word There actually isn’t much of a difference between those, but if i had to say, When to Use: 和語(wago)→ Casual, Daily 漢語(Kango) → Formal, seriously hope this helps

[@dudeguy1894]

According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the human soul is divided into five aspects: The ba is your personality. It's the closest thing to what we would call the "soul" today. The ib is your heart. It also represents your morality, the sum of all of your good and bad deeds in life. The ka is your life force. It could also be described as your "energy". The sheut is your shadow. This is your entire impact on the people and world around you. The ren is your name. It's the sum of your life experiences that make you who you are today. I think the lantern Mumei is carrying is her ren. One day the world will forget about her completely, and her name will be lost to time. But no matter how small and insignificant her flame is, as long as someone is out there to remember her, that's enough to keep her going. 3:18 "Within this world, you are somewhere / Now I'll keep going as Mumei"😭

[@panagis630]

I don't know, Mumei is supposed to be the Guardian of civilization, I kinda doubt that her lantern has to do with anything metaphysical. If I had to guess Mumei is using her lantern in this MV to look for humans (civilization), much like the Philosopher Diogenes did, heck even the opening lines of the song "all I remember is that I forgot" are very close to Socrates's "I know that I know nothing" saying. As for Mumei's name, as she has stated she has had many names over her lifespan that she forgot(presumably given to her by the current civilization's "inhabitants" ,names that were forgotten as the civilizations fell.), and so long as humanity exists ,so will civilization and in extension Mumei to carry on her role as its guardian. And if Mumei's lantern has anything to do with her role as the guardian of civilization is that it houses fire, that is arguably one of Humanity's most important discoveries and an essential factor for civilization to thrive.

[@orangeapples]

My interpretation of the song’s story: Mumei was lost and alone in the world, not really sure what to do. A nameless person will never be known or loved, destined to be forgotten. It hurts, because nobody wants to be alone, so she desperately wanted to find someone. The only clue she has is a lantern and a letter she found in the darkness. She doesn’t know the name or the face of the person who wrote the letter, but it was all she has, so she clings to it and it pushed her forward in the hopes of someday finding the letter’s author. In her head she’s imagining all the fins things they will do together. In her travels she meets the lady on the water. Who is this lady? She was someone else just like Mumei. This lady tells her to stop chasing shadows. This is when Mumei’s eyes are opened. You will never find someone chasing the idea of a person. Only by putting yourself out there to be seen will people find you. Looking at the lantern and no longer hiding under a hood she changes her position from a seeker to guide and is able to be a light in the darkness for others who were like her. She knows what it is like because she was just like them. She journeys across the darkness and other mumeis see her. The truth is that the world was never empty. She had focused on this one person in a letter that she could not see all the people who were around. And one day someone in the darkness finds her. Is this the person she was longing for? No, but this person is real and here now and that is worth so much more than some idea of a person. Eventually endings happen, but the world keeps going. The whale isn’t gonna stop swimming just because a light has gone out. The whale probably doesn’t even know it crossed the lantern holder’s path. You’re going to need to be okay with that. If you feel alone in the darkness desperately looking for someone, at the end of the song is a lantern left for you. It even has your name on it. Stop hiding your face, pick up that lantern and hold it up for someone to find you. It may not be the person you were looking for, but it will be even greater. It’s not a self titled song. It’s a song for you.

[@orangeapples]

⁠@@meh6513i’ll be honest, this comment scared me to post. It had been turning in my mind since the video came out and I knew I had to write it eventually. I didn’t want to write it too early because if people liked it my thoughts would end up in the top comments somewhere. When I saw she was gonna have a talk about the song i thought, “oh thank goodness. She’ll set the record straight and I can comment guilt free knowing I’m wrong.” But then her thoughts were, “wouldn’t it be a cool if a whale was there?” Mumei! What are you doing to me? Plan B now was to post the comment at an inconvenient time in hopes that it is both late enough to not be in the first wave of comments and late enough to be buried in a wave of new comments. I kinda wanted my comment to be thrown into the sea never to be seen by anyone, least of all Mumei herself. Imagine my surprise that not only did I get a reply, it has way more likes than I was expecting. 3 was my high estimate before it should have been buried from sort by Newest. But I am glad it resonated with people. To anyone reading this, when the day comes you pick up your lantern, it may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, it may not even be next year; i have no idea when it will happen, but hold it up with pride and someone will find you. I was trying to not be seen and people found me, coward that I am.

[@TempRawr]

Appreciate how you ended it. As someone who works in helping people heal and reconnect. The hardest lesson is getting people to find the courage, strength, and flexibility to pick up that lantern and go live life. Life is full of unknown but just like mumei, there is a lot of life worth adventuring for, just remember you're doing it for your own smile.

(I'm lonely and it's my fault LMAO) but semi jokes aside many people who want to substantiate the feelings they get from the song but can't quite use it as a motivational song I think this comment slots in well enough... I mean society won't let things go your way and so I'm sure you will keep getting likes I imagine, since i saw you with 10 likes and made my comment after having found your analysis and final statement befitting a standard that people with hundreds or thousands of likes deserve... I hope you find a settings to mute the like milestone notifications if you can't get over the attention...please just don't delete the original comment or delete the comment just cause you dislike the notifications I'm sure somewhere in the settings you can find a middle ground for us and your feelings...

[@orangeapples]

⁠@@meh6513 don’t worry. The truth is that I am afraid of not being seen. It isn’t a dislike of attention. When you put a piece of yourself out there like that it hurts when it isn’t acknowledged by others.

わためのLIVEで聞いたけど 聞き心地良すぎるて

[@shin-dh9kf]

最初この曲はムメイちゃんのための曲なのかと思っていましたが、聞いてみるとこれは私やあなたに向けた曲、私たちのための曲でもあるのだと思いました。曲名がMumeiではなくmumeiなのは、固有名詞ではない、名もない者たちへの勇気づけるための曲であるからなのだと感じました。そしてmumeiであることは決してマイナスなことではなく、可能性に満ちたことなのだと言われているように感じました。この世界に住むほとんどの人間のことを私たちは知らないし、知らないまま生きていくことのだと思いますが、重要なのはその誰かの名前がどうなのかではなく、私という存在がいることであり、あなたという存在がきっとこの世界にいるということなのだと。それをムメイちゃんが微笑みながら寄り添うように歌いかけてきてくれることがとても素敵だと思いました。 At first I thought this song was for Mumei, but when I listen to it, I realized that this song is also for you and me, for us. I felt that the reason why the name of the song is "mumei " and not "Mumei" , because it is not a proper noun, but a song to encourage the nameless. I also felt that being a mumei is not a negative thing, but a thing full of possibilities. We don't know most of the people who live in this world, and we will continue to live without knowing them, but what is important is not what someone's names are, but that I am here, and you must be in this world. I thought it was wonderful that Mumei sang to us with smiling and like standing close to us.

[@NousagiMechanic]

​@@SenseofNoneYTI almost didn't believe this, but holy heck it is.

[@mikukumiku]

@@SenseofNoneYTIt gets better. "Nanashi" is written using the characters 七詩, which literally means "seven poems". This is likely in reference to "The poem of Seven Steps" of Chinese origin (七步詩). This is an allegorical summary of major events in Chinese history and was referenced in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It basically illustrates the irony of a situation where a pot of beans are being cooked using fire stoked by the stems of the same plant where the beans came from. It highlights the farce of human conflict and I think is a very apt summary of Mumei's lore as the Guardian of Civilization. Everything about this Owl is just amazing.

At 5th fes I burst out crying really hard. Mumei's tender voice, the venue full of lightblue and green colors, and slow penlight wave, all of there made me very emotional. That was really great performance. Thank you Mumei. Big love from Japan💙

[@stiimuli]

Wish I could have been there. This song is so good.

[@chronicspook]

LETS GO MOOOOOMS

[@TheGreatSammyJack]

Mumei, This is a very touching song. Having your name being "Nameless" has a melancholic feel. We all know you as "no one" in a sense, but i promise you are quite a "someone" in many Hoomans lives. I know the journey you've had up to this point has been rough at times, but the perseverance and dedication you show is deserving of the support you get Keep Moomin.

[@azuciddo]

I started crying so hard at 3:10-3:25. At first you think she still has an emotionless face but then it zooms in and then you see she's smiling. The lyrics right before this part also hit home.

[@Baneenzo]

This song was so beautiful . Little Mumei holding up her lantern and waving it around kinda makes me sad but happy at the same time. While it's obvious that lanterns do help you see a little better and provide a sense of safety while you're wandering around aimlessly in the darkness, that light also acts as a beacon, too, so that anyone else out there who also may be wandering aimlessly in the dark can find you and offer help

[@dasterd5706]

I actually cannot get over how hard the shot of Mumei waving the lantern around and smiling hits me. Some of my favorite imagery to ever come out of a hololive music video.

[@yuting.]

We cried again today. Thank you Mumei.

[@ejune98]

We often joke around how weird and different Mumei is from the rest of the world, but the truth is we deeply associate ourselves with your thoughts and experience. We finally found someone who may actually represent us and that is why so many people love you and will love you forever.

[@JarenceThatShowerGuy]

Mumei has always been a consistently talented singer in HoloEN... but with this? She's gone over and beyond. It's like listening to someone sing about herself. The depths of her identity. What it means to be the Speaker of Civilization. It made me cry a bit - and I think, while it's an unintended emotion, it's me resonating with the emotions brought about by this song. That, combined with the animation, makes for an amazing MV. Thank you, Mumei. Thank you for reminding me why a departed friend of mine considered you as his oshi. Never stop being amazing. 🤎🤎🤎

[@jrtime228]

Lonely but not alone. Look at what you became part of! A story cannot exist without it crossing through other stories. So keep going, keep living. Your story will cross others, even without a name.

[@user-lx7xt4tb8x]

巨匠ですら容易に到達できない、そんな芸術の1つなのかもしれない。 ムメイという言葉は人や物、あらゆる「無銘」への祈りの言葉のように聞こえる不思議な世界を作り出している。 曲、歌詞、唄声、どれか一つでも欠けていればただの作品となっていたかもしれない、見事なハーモニー。 音楽という芸術はこれほどの可能性を持っていることを改めて知ることができた。

[@BenBenBenBenBenBenBenBenBenB3n]

I don't know why, but four months later, the image of Mumei waving her lantern on top of the hill still makes me cry

[@yumemaboroshi2249]

[@Ijir0]

[@DomoArigatoMrRobaito]

Mumei's lore is so sad. Nothing more heartwrenching that loneliness and being forgotten. Very well done animations and the music of course was off the charts.

[@Terralventhe]

Honestly, I always get some strong To Your Eternity vibes from Mumei's lore and this new song only reinforces it for me.

[@tuliomesquita1294]

Don't worry, Council now with hope fully integrated has become Promise, and i find it very fitting with their lore

[@Nephetes]

I sometimes forget how sad Mumei's lore really is. She's a pretty tragic character canonically

[@arizeta3540]

at first glance of her...I thought she just an funny owl or something...but man....after learning the lore and name...it feels like.....man.......

Im a grown man in my 30s. Im a mechanic and pretty much am set in my ways. I have a pessimistic way of looking at life and have been told by many i have no empathy. But this... this song first thing this morning had me emotional lying in bed. In a good way. Mumei amidst all the funny, twisted and down right bubbly personality you choose to show us; these soft, caring and optimistic songs hit hard. I am greatful for you and your staff for your hardwork and care you put in for us.

[@NousagiMechanic]

Hail, fellow mechanic! 7 year VW/Audi tech myself. Couldn't agree more. I don't know if it's the melody or her singing, but this had my eyes leaking like a TSI water pump. 😭

[@TamJeong_]

This song and MV hits really hard to me.I will listen to this song every day from now on. Mumei is a Guardian of “Civilization”. She will guide humanity not to get lost with lantern. Mumei, It took really long time for you to reach from 'nameless' to 'mumei'. I've been watching you for a long time, So I know there were a hard times. And now, I'm so proud of you for having your own name. As always, I will follow your journey gladly. And no matter what, I'll always cheer and support you. 사랑해요 무메이!

Thank you mumei! This was the last song I listened to before I fell very ill a few months ago. I couldn't see, couldn't even remember my wife's name. But this tune stuck with me the whole time and helped me remember who I was. I'm a lot better now, but I'm forever grateful for mumei getting me through a whole new kind of loneliness.

[@eventhorizon28]

Also, she's an owl, and her name can translate as "Who? Who?"

[@Eiji475]

Shes mentioned it on stream a couple times but ya its not a very well known tidbit of info if you can't read Japanese.

[@edenromanov]

Kind of, it was mentioned a bit during her debut by some Live TL guys giving context in chat but rarely brought up after that so if you weren't there during debut it's totally understandable that you didn't know that.

[@andyjo7838]

Saw a clip from Kiara pre-debut, post-announcement, talking about how Nanashi Mumei means no name, no name, anonymous anonymous, and then made the Who Who joke, since owl noise. It just depends if you find the right stuff at the right times when peeps are talking about it. No worries.

[@JimmyBoombox]

I learned about a while ago from Mumei herself who mentioned it on occasion here and there.

[@imhappy._.]

This is probably the first HoloEn song that made me cry during my first listen. The pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has made a toll on my mental health. It was the worst headspace I've been in. And that's when CouncilRys or I should say, Promise debuted. They genuinely have saved me from the worst hole I've been in and since then, I've been trying to find who I am and my purpose. This song reminded me of why I started. My true self is still out there and I'm going to find it. Thank you Mumei.

[@JustUnderAverage]

Decided to try out music in the VTubing community, saw Mumei thinking "I didn't know she did music". Didn't know hololive members all sang. It probably doesn't mean much, but This is Truly Beautiful, & Genuinely Soul Touching. The Singing, Composition, the Art and Illustration. An Ironically Resplendent and Radiant feeling of Hope is felt. To be born in a world so full of Darkness & Cruelty. Looking for someone or something, a purpose or a person, to truly connect with feels bleak, even impossible. You could spend forever only hoping to find a glimpse or a remnant of what makes you feel truly alive. You cannot control the people around you, the environment you have to start growing in and get through, the circumstances that affect & can determine most of your life. How the void in oneself that constantly eats away at you, how long it stays, how much it takes and tolls your mind and body. Yet somehow when you are faced with this strife we experience all throughout life, we grow. A spark of joy in knowing the lives you can affect along the way. The smiles you can bring, the tears you can shed, the burdens you can share. No matter how small you feel in a world as huge as we live in. Maybe names are forgotten, but memories are shared, your name and face can be forgotten but does that mean you did not live life? No, the lives we've touched, the light we've shed, the places we've nurtured and built, everything will go on. To know a face, or a name, to have met or not. To find happiness in knowing you've shed a light for others to see its shine, feel its warmth and experience its awe and inspiration is a wondrous feeling. That in your pursuit of purpose, meaning, or a connection to or with others, that somehow you are what someone else was looking for and hoping to find. It's Magic. For those who read this, I Thank you for your time, Sorry I got carried away. I try to avoid commenting & writing things especially like this. I didn't want to waste my time alive not saying how I feel. I wish you the best, and for Hope to have found their way to you. Thank You to everyone that worked on this song as well, it helps a lot when you come together to make something as inspiring as this for others to see and hear. TKN-Tokkun, Mumei, and Otori. 💛
