Once in a faraway, far wrld was a collar that coiled like a snake
"I want someone please - I need someone please" Oh, I listened close as it howled in ache
Please don't be angry and please don't abandon me. Don’t leave me here on my own (kay?)
It wrapped itself tightly, daily and nightly - only with praise would it loosen it’s hold
I placed in the top of my class~ there's no one left for me to surpass
Don't I look cute in this dress? I really, really
Must confess - it’s tightening ‘round my neck!
Give me your love, all of your love, give me your love - all you can conjure up
Give me your love, all of your love, till you go mad with ecstasy
All of the hurt, all of the ache - help me escape! Take it, oh take it away!!!
Is there no end to this pain?
Grow as you may but the necklace will stay just as small as the day it was found
It’s so suffocating, the endless placating - no one is, no one is ever enough!
Won’t lose to anyone, always ranked number one, aren’t I a beautiful child? (Hey,)
I’m better than her - I’m better than him, oh everyone, come round and gawk at perfection!
Meeting you right after school, I’m finally confessing to you
Ain’t it too good to be true? A girl, like me, in love with you - who’s miserable, vulgar, and crude!
Give me your love, all of your love, give me your love - You can have everything
If I have you, I can have you - shoulder my load, now yours to behold
Still not enough, you’re not enough - never enough. Still I won’t loosen my hold
Truly, I’m so sorry.
Give me your love, all of your love, give me your love - all you can conjure up
Give me your love, all of your love, till you go mad with ecstasy
I know it hurts - (it) only gets worse - God how it hurts - Soon you’ll be craving the pain
This is my happiness now! Ah!
This is my happiness now!

I really like this translation. While the original is about a child wanting love from their parents, this one is like a toxic partner helplessly demanding love for their own self-gratification, aware of hurting everyone and themselves in the process. It's very adult and fits Nerissa's voice very well.

[@inky-pj7ox]

I’m just saying that I think it’s still a child wanting love, expect as the song goes on it transitions to a toxic partner

[@Callmehnatalie-cd7tj]

Came back after watching Nerissa's short about how she writes English lyrics. You really do have a knack for creating incredibly good lyrics that hold the same message as the original AND having it fit so well with the original song structure, as you demonstrated with the chorus in the short and how "Give ME your LOVE" lines up with "a-I-shi-TE" in the original. I recall when me and a friend were watching your debut live together and I told him "There's no way, she's doing Aishite, Aishite, Aishite? AS HER DEBUT COVER? That's insane" but lo and behold, you absolutely knocked it out of the park, and continue to do so. Truly the Demon of Sound 🎼

I’ve commented on this video when it first posted, but I just want to say that this is practically impossible to overcome. She set the bar so high that not much can be better than this.

[@GCFandimonium24]

@@TheOwlet22 What are you talking about? How does praising this cover do a disservice to her? I wasn't necessarily saying it's the greatest of all time, tho I've yet to hear one outdo it. I mainly meant I haven't heard a song from her that outdoes this one. She set a high bar for herself. It's partly the fact her interpretation was the first time I've heard this song, but it's all I hear when I listen to covers. And I've listened to plenty of the ones you mentioned. I hadn't heard of Ado, but I listened to it and I don't think it's even close. That just personal preference tho.

[@NJACAD-kx1xv]

Crazy how you or anyone who ever sings this hits the notes gives me chills in a good way.

[@preferablygeneric]

I'm very impressed with Nerissa's localization! There's sooo much here that makes it work so well and I need to put some notes down somewhere First of all, the syllable count in each line matches along the rhythm just fine, but the achievement of making meter and phrasing match to the melody's more than divine! Notice, when reading the four lines I'm leaving, how you could turn them into song? See, you can find stresses in every sentence; poetry and music: the same all along! I just wanna appreciate how much this reads like old, traditional poetry, but that works really well for this song since the original Japanese lines are long enough to allow it, and rhythmic pattern of stressed, unstressed, and combined syllables and accentuates the beat in the song:(assuming the song is in 6/8, 230BPM ) I- *placed* in the *top* of my *class,* there’s- *no* one *left* for- *me* to sur-*pass* *Don’t* I look *cute* in this *dress?* I- *rea*-lly, -*-rea-*--lly, -*-must-*- con-*fess* It’s- *tight*-ening *‘round* my *neck!* (IMO, a good alternative line for "tightening 'round my neck!" could be "choking me to death!", to match the phenome "oʊ" (oh) with its other instances on the first beat of every other line(no, don't, choke), and because "death", sounds closer to "dress", and "confess". "death" also has a particularly strong meaning that matches the dramatic build-up before the Chorus) Speaking of the chorus, Its pretty fascinating how the open vowels (i.e. "ʌ"(uh), "ɒ"(aw) ) land on beat 2, 3, 4 and the last triplet of the measure (assuming the song is in 4/4, 77BPM), Give me your *love* *All* of your *love* Give me your *love* *All* you can *con* - jure *up* Assonance written in this way is especially important for music; since open vowels bring out the most resonance, It can be used to emphasize certain notes and add distinct rhythm patterns. Then, on the second stanza, the phenomes on the down beats in the the third and fourth measure of the stanza (line 3) pleasantly climb up the Scale of Vowels as the melody descends the-what i notice to be a very "blues"-scale, making each new note constant in in tone: its subtle, probably only exists in my head, but it makes for a more confluent phrase The line "Oh everyone come 'round and gawk at perfection!" is definitely my favorite! Ending the stanza with the word "perfection" works so well to accentuate the context and theme of the lyrics: it has such a strong, manic connotation. Its so good at establishing an overwhelming emphasis on the obsessive, _narcissistic_, _*__psychopathic_* state of this character. I could go on about the instrumental part too, the music theory behind this is absolutely top tier but I do NOT have that kind of time, or any sleep truely inspiring, maybe I should try writing/ localizing lyrics, could be a great opportunity there!

[@NerissaRavencroft]

Love love love this analysis! Was fun for me to read, so thanks for taking the time to write it out! I actually thought of "choking me to death" as an option, as well! The reason I didn't go with it is because tightening sounds less odd with a pause between it since it goes tigh-ting vs cho-cking. It transitions better and sounds less awkward when sung due to the pause! Glad to see someone passionate about poetry and lyrical flow 🖤

[@valeriezorn9420]

As a music theory nerd, seeing this comment does make me happy

[@artemaleshkin543]

Regarding "good alternative" i'm not sure since in this exact stanza dactyl and trochee are well intertwined: I- *placed* in the *top* of my *class,* there’s‒ (dactyl) *no* one *left* for‒ (trochee) *me* to sur‒ *pass* (dactyl) *Don’t* I look *cute* in this *dress?* I‒ (dactyl) *rea* ‒lly, *rea* ‒lly, *must* con‒ *fess* It’s‒ (trochee) *tight* ‒ening *‘ro* ‒und my *neck!* (dactyl) So rhythm-wise last line should be in dactyl as well, hence I'm on Nerissa's side on this one. Edit: my personal war with youtube comment formatting

@@artemaleshkin543 That's an interesting observation that I hadn't really picked up on! Though, when I listen back to that last line, it really sounds like trochee to me. I think if the lyrics were supposed to follow the dtd,dtd pattern, wouldn't the syllables in "tightening" and "around" not be conjoined? *tight* -en-ing *a* -round my *neck!* it sounds pretty fluid to me, and even matches to the 2nd pre-chorus too! Though, that comes with the big draw back that there would be less rhythmic progression to surprise the listener. I understand why it's written the way it is, it's because in the original song, the lyrics follow the pattern dtd,dtt due to frequent use of the 『ねえ、ねえ！』（hey, hey!） phrase: いー *い* せ い *せ* き で *しょ？*　ねー (dactyl) *え、*　ね *え、*　いー (trochee) *い* こ で *しょ？* (dactyl) *か* わ い *い* こ で *しょ？*　 ねー (dactyl) *え、* ね *え、*　い *こ、*　で *しょ*　くー (trochee) *る、*　し *い*　ね *え！* (trochee) I appreciate that she was as faithful as possible to the original rhythm and made it work as well as it does, but honestly... I don't think anyone but us would notice-let alone, care-if it were changed up just a tiny bit, would we? Edit: seriously, why can't we just use ctrl+b? it's 2023! grammar and clarification too

[@izora_chan]

You guys are so much more knowledgeable in music than me I'm only just a higher music student right now.I can't really provide explanations as detailed and amazing as the ones you guys have written above, but I can't shut up about this. This cover remained so loyal to the original song(I really appreciate that), the phrasing and emphasis on certain words is spot on, I liked the arrangement, and my choir friends told me her falsetto is super good.(I don't know if they were overreacting though) We never heard a vtuber with a voice as good as hers, except maybe Enna, and hearing this cover made us so high and excited for what's to come. I really enjoyed reading the reviews you guys above made!!You got all technical and I was barely keeping up, but I liked that I learned a lot from what you guys wrote.Thanks!! ❤

Oh my lord, Rissa nailed this cover. Really captured the emotion behind the song with her powerful voice. Really looking forward to hearing her sing more.

[@TheOriginalLokisam]

I've listened to this song on repeat for literal days now, and I think the thing that stands out the most to me is that, throughout the entire video, the placement of the hands never changes. The facial expression changes, but the body position stays the same. Hands always at her own throat. Your eyes are drawn away by the bright highlighting of the eyes, or the animation of the heart, or the scratch-outs. Sometimes they're hidden by the shadows, but the hands do not move. Thanks for hurting me this way

[@disky01]

[@randomchumbud121]

[Verse 1] Once in a faraway faraway world was a collar that coiled like a snake I want someone please, I need someone please Oh, I listened close as it howled 'n ached Please don't be angry and please don't abandon me Don't leave me here on my own ('Kay?) It wrapped itself tightly daily and nightly Only with praise would it loosen its hold [Pre-Chorus] I placed in the top of my class There's no one left for me to surpass Don't I look cute in this dress? I really really must confess, it's tightening 'round my neck [Chorus] Give me your love, all of your love Give me your love, all you can conjure up Give me your love, all of your love 'Til you go mad with ecstasy All of the hurt, all of the ache Help me escape, take it oh take it away Is there no end to this pain? [Verse 2] Grow as you may but the necklace will stay just as small as the day it was found It's so suffocating, the endless placating No one is, no one is ever enough Won't lose to anyone, always ranked number one Aren't I a beautiful child? (Hey) I'm better than her, I'm better than him Oh, everyone come 'round and gawk at perfection [Pre-Chorus] Meeting you right after school I'm finally confessing to you Ain't it too good to be true? A girl like me in love with you who's miserable, vulgar, and crude [Bridge] Give me your love, all of your love Give me your love, you can have everything If I have you, I can have you Shoulder my load, now yours to behold Still not enough, you're not enough Never enough, still I won't loosen my hold Truly I'm so sorry [Chorus] Give me your love, all of your love Give me your love, all you can conjure up Give me your love, all of your love 'Til you go mad with ecstasy I know it hurts, only gets worse God, how it hurts, soon you'll be craving the pain This is my happiness now Ahh Is this my happiness now?

Jesus. I'm blown away. She got all the pipes in the world. As expected, Holo won't label someone a 'singer' so easily right off debut. Just finished looping it for an hour. Really great cover lol.

[@a.k.a.5757]

元々きくおさんの楽曲の特徴としては「狂った舞踏会」「ひっくり返ったおもちゃ箱」「正気の消えた遊園地」 のような軽やかで可愛げもありつつどこかおぞましく狂ってる（誉め言葉）曲が多い。 実際プロセカでの歌唱や氏が担当してるユニット、きくおはなでもそのような歌い方の傾向が強い。 そんな中、ネリッサの唄声はそんなきくおさんの曲を崩さずに自己表現が強い化け物のような歌唱力で歌い上げている。 だからだろうか、ガラスのような鋭利なビジョンが見えつつある。曲に新たな一面が表れている。 彼女は、本当化け物だ……

[@Uehahahara]

As someone who is just watching mostly clips and memes from Advent, I forgot that Nerissa is The Demon of Sound. She really sounds incredible.

[@amelia_rk]

This is one of my favorite cover from you. Congrats on 8M views Rissaaa

[@TemsAccepted]

I love how you focus on keeping the same rhythm instead of just focusing the words! It makes the song sound so much better!

[@Abyssionknight]

This is such a great song choice. Not only does it show off your voice and your lyricism, but the meaning of the song perfectly syncs up with your lore as a musical demon that drives people insane with song. Honestly don't think you couldn't have covered a better song for debut.

[@riniseiraayanami]

I like her lyrics, but... wasn't the original song about a girl who is pressured by her parents to get good grades and be a good girl? Shiori's version seems like to be about a yandere or something.

[@Abyssionknight]

@riniseiraayanami3961 she wrote the English lyrics and tweaked it to suit her lore. Also this is nerissa

[@riniseiraayanami]

@@Abyssionknight Oh, I see! Sorry, I still confuse their names XDD

[@Hardcrafter2807]

@riniseiraayanami3961 Actually, the view that the song is about a girl wanting acknowledgement and love from her parents is just one interpretation of the song. The other interpretation is that a girl demands love because of the cursed collar she wears and as she grows older the curse gets stronger making it so that no matter how much love she receives it leaves her unsatisfied.

[@princeofcats331]

​@@Hardcrafter2807 Therefore, that's why the chorus tends to end with a sustained G5 vocal note with a minor sixth chord in the background because it vocally represents the mental pain that the girl in the song felt when the aforementioned collar tightened stronger around her neck. The first verse of this song states one specific thing about the collar: *' It wrapped itself tightly, daily and nightly, only with praise, would it loosen its hold.'* If she were to receive love from anyone at any point, the collar would loosen until it was broken. But keep in mind, the collar has a curse on it that tightens it around the neck of the person who is wearing it as long as they do not receive positive praise at any point in their life, or in this case, love. (That's just my interpretation of this song. No need to judge me.)

[@alexscholz3438]

I've never heard an English cover of this song before, but you absolutely SMASHED it! Subbed!

[@umbaupause]

Hmm. Nobody will read this, so well. When this song first came out, I was actually beyond amazed at how raw and just awesome it was. I kept listening to it again and again, and I really like getting lost in music like this cause it makes me get into little worlds in my mind, let the creativity unfold. Music makes me experience things, and I'm very glad to have that ability. But when I showed it to others, all I got was stuff like 'oh nice'. That's not fair, this isn't 'nice', this is amazing. Nerissa is an amazing singer, and this song invokes such wild emotions in me. But now, I feel like this song can only make me imagine a wild beast, chained down and caged. I feel angry when I listen to this, just cause I had myself caged by those responses. My mind has locked itself away. That sucks. But this song is awesome. I still love this song. It's that negative emotion I hate. I'll keep that dumb beast locked up. Nobody will read this either. Good.
