Mind if I praise the lord?
I am literally a simp for Melissa. Why don't I do more Melissa clips if I love them so much? Because I can't get myself to want to share most of their stuff. It's a personal experience, I don't want to know if people like or don't like the things they say as much as I do, this is a precious feeling to me and don't want it sullied by what others think.
If you read this as "Melissa belongs to me" you missed the point, what I'm saying is "If I see anyone hate on Melissa I'll cry and the fear stops me". Please say nice things on the comments.

This is why I love _Meifu._ Both Melissa and Furen have struggled against something in the past and conquered it in their own way, maybe that's why Melissa and Furen able to become friends pretty fast. For Ibrahim, I don't know whether he has talked about his past or not, but he probably knew about Melissa & Furen's past. Maybe Ibrahim is the "moodmaker" in Meifu? The decision to make these three debut together is like a miracle.

[@PhantomThiefXI]

Ibrahim doesn't talk about it, but from what he shows, he's probably someone like Saegusa, he's looking to become the best at something, so wherever he goes, he gives 200% of what he's got.

[@ChronicalV]

I know nothing about these 3 rn but I'm quite interested, could you maybe provide links

[@Axios_Deminence]

Hey Kaitou, know this is probably weird since I never really commented on this video that I recall but I remember watching this maybe a couple months after you uploaded this clip. I always found myself drawn to Melissa without really knowing the reason why. I just pinned it on their singing and talking voice, but probably thought it was something more even though I didn't and still don't understand Japanese (though I'm making the smallest bits of progress). Thanks to your clip I found at the time, I was probably able to understand a deeper reason why and it actually brought a lot of happiness to my life. To be honest, I don't know how to phrase it other than that. Although life dragged me across the floor, I always found solace and I think Melissa and the knowledge that this clip has brought me is at least a memorable part of that. Even though Melissa has graduated (though I'll still be following their works), I just want to say thank you a lot. I really appreciate it. Thank you! EDIT: Not just this clip. I just chose this clip to comment on and specify since it was the most impactful on me. Thank you for everything!

[@PhantomThiefXI]

my life was changed by melissa, so i understand you actually "i never did anything to pursue a career in music", melissa said, and that made me realize i also gave up on my dreams of writing stories because i never got readers no matter how much i wrote. ever since they debuted ive been working on improving on art and making music to try to take a higher stage and produce games so people will read my stories maybe. sometimes a small spark that ignites what was dying inside us, i wish your choices lead you to happiness

[@_DuongMinhQuan-rb9gh]

3:37 I’m familiar with this as well... Everyone surrounding me is extremely kind to me, and I’m also being wholesome to them. You know, share the stories, laugh and cry together. Stuffs only friends can understand...but for some reaons I always feel out of place, feel like a loner, like...I don’t belong to the group, just an outsider although we hang out a lot. I don’t know how to describe it tho... Or maybe I’m just socially awkward...

[@MilloTKLOL]

br trầm cảm vậy ông......! but y'll know that everything'll come to and end sooner or later! maybe someday you will actually meet just one or a lot of special people that can bring you out of the loop, ur empty feeling gonna disappear soon because of these people lol ( just like me xD ) Be strong boi

[@PhantomThiefXI]

Sometimes it may not be the "true" thing, but it's still a "real" thing. What I think she meant there was something akin to toxic friendships, friends which make you miserable, so if you're enjoying your time with them, but not feeling like you're really a part of something greater, don't let it really get to your head; If the due date comes, each of you will go your way naturally, cutting off is for when they're actively affecting you. Conversely, try to discover what lies at the root of your solitude, what is it you want to change that feeling, what do you think will make you feel like you're not alone? Once you can answer the questions about yourself, you can start walking towards a goal which will truly make you happier.

[@_DuongMinhQuan-rb9gh]

Kaitou Xi thanks my dude, I will try to contemplate the roots of my cause. Hope everything will be sort out soon

[@byron7074]

Maybe you're an introvert and you need time being alone. Although of course you know yourself the most. What you're feeling isn't wrong though, so yeah.

[@kuraihikari13]

I love her very much since her debut because how strong she is as a person. She had her problems, but she didn't deny nor ignore it. She confronts it and she would talk openly about it. I love and respect her. That being said, thank you for translating another melissa' video.

[@razorclaw2674]

Melissa creates such a warm atmosphere when talking about their experiences and I’d only get to experience it through translations like yours. Thanks for subbing ! And hope Melissa and everyone reading this continues to live in the present the way they want to.

[@0LIMBO0]

Melissa's cool even when having real moments. Also, don't call yourself a simp. You have good reasons for Melissa being special to you.

[@yd_]

Learning more about her before she graduates

[@XLEZZY_REUPLOADS]

Bro tysm for clipping these moments. I wish I knew her advice 2 years ago

[@lucas1309]

My story time of my life below cause these triggered my memories. Appreciate the content, thanks for the translation and hard work! The hard thing that eats me to this day is the fact I repeated a year to get the chance to be in the same class as my friends and my crush. (I know stupid but, my school divided the school hours by the grade and I barely could see them after I went forward a year and I was also young.) But when I repeated, I didn't get in the same class as my friends and we suddenly lost touch, just like one day to another, I couldn't talk to any of them, not that I didn't want to or tried to but just because they didn't even try to show interest to what I was saying. I got really depressed after two weeks of being ignored and even before that, My family was going through some rough times, my step-father who took care of me for seven years of my life is found out to be cheating for more than two years, my brother at one point literally choked me on the doorway of my home until I let out blood through my throat (I was a shitty brat back then, I deleted my brother's pirated album of music when he deleted my favorite game from the computer without asking me too.) And I was getting isolated by my mother, who at the time was just as Racist as my step-father, yes the same. Not to say, my brother's father always visited him at least on his birthdays while mine barely even gave a call and I was kind of jealous even if it was just to tell him promises he wouldn't even try to complete. Not only that but this step-father at one point began to physically abuse me, he would find things to get excuses to beat me up (There's a law here in Brazil at least, where the step-father can't raise his hand against his children without reason). This got worse too after this step-father left, a year in and I repeated again because I didn't feel well going to school, I was already bullied when I was with my friends and without them, It got worse (The Director of the school also made have a nervous attack when he cornered me to tell me about why I was repeating school again). At one point, I barely cared, I was alone at school, at the streets, home. For one year and a half, I barely felt alive and began to skip school without care until the school kicked me out. At one point, the one thing that triggered me to go back to my own feet was when my mother got another boyfriend (My current step-father[?]) and I tried to play with my mother but he scolded me, and... I don't know, I just burst out at him and he left complaining and my mother went after him after complaining to me. Seeing how I was alone again, how I was going to be alone, I made two options in my head, either I continue to mop or I get myself better and well. I'm here, in a comment section of a V-tuber, without a job, without any idea where to go, what to do, unable to get a job due to the Quarantine and without anyone to talk with or get help. So Basically, if you are still in school, keep it at kid, even in rough times. Or else you'll end up like me, a basement dweller who can't get into his studies because he doesn't know how to. (The teachers explanations were enough for me to get through the year at the time.)

[@PhantomThiefXI]

If you could redo it all, what is it that you'd like to choose, what path would you like to take in life? You've clearly been dealt with an awful hand, but still being alive despite all you've gone through shows your resilience. What is it you're wishing for deep down, do you have any idea?

[@lucas1309]

@@PhantomThiefXI I don't know really. I don't have any particular dreams, wishes to be of a certain career. I just, do what I want, I'm trying to get into drawing, something I hated in the past and enjoy now, but can't due to growing out of my glasses [Almost passed out due to focusing too much]. (My glasses with the right prescription were ready when the Quarantine hit and I couldn't get it [Big oof]) What I want is just a corner to live with a pet or something to care for. I don't care to be alone anymore, I just want to have something to do, something to stop the constant suicidal thoughts. (I'm not religious but really don't think killing myself would do anything, besides, I'm a big coward.) If I could go back in time to fix one thing? I just want to tell myself from back them to never visit my father. The look of regret and disappointment is the only thing that still drills into me to this day.

[@YnMillion]

Jesus, that's really rough. Having a poor family background is one thing, but not feeling safe either at home or at school really fucks you up in the head. But you've made it this far, you've made it this far by yourself. That action itself is worthy of praise, so please don't give up. Prove to those around you that you deserve respect. Of course, success won't come immediately, but you'll get the ball rolling, and each attempt will get you closer to where you want to be. Good luck

[@Yamaya2_Haya]

Man I could feel what Melissa is saying such philosophy

[@Necroneer]

Feels like she's opened her heart towards her sister, don't know how that feels but it must be nice. Maybe I should be more true to myself I feel like I'm only myself when I'm at home. I love clips like this that shows the opinions and ideas that Vtubers have towards life in general hope to see more if there are.

[@ZigZagKangaroo]

I feel most of this talk on a spiritual level. I wish I could get to know people like Melissa's sister. Now I listen to this story I noticed that I'm someone who enjoys being with people but can't be close with people. Above all I treasure my time alone. I always seem to vibe more with people that have screwed morals probably because they care less about the people around them, although they do care till a certain extend. Of course at times I miss the feeling of being close to people. My parents love traveling and camping (in tents). I understand the feeling of freedom and refreshment that comes with it. I still live with my parents (although I'm searching for an appartment right now) but my unusual working hours make it so that I rarely see them. They never really understood me and I see them more as distant relatives instead of father and mother. The feeling of eating a meal on your own is great. That's also my life philosophy take your life at your own pace and enjoy. Thanks for clipping Melissa! She's awesome and feels very underrated in my opinion. Defenitely one of my favorite Vtubers. Edit: i just read the description and want to say it's okay. I totally get you, that's how I feel about Rindou Mikoto most of the time. Let's all appriciate Melissa together by watching her streams. ❤🐝

[@CecilyRenns]

that's rough. i've had my share of panic attacks in public, but not really because of social anxiety, just general depression and some bipolar stuff. it's sort of a completely different problem, but like she said, i can still totally understand it

[@ancikiritod342]

Thanks for the translation!

[@andr__c10h12n2o]

I love many different Vtubers, for many different reasons, but few feel as relatable as Melissa

[@ricky-uk7in]

thanks for translating this meaningful clip.

[@alianar.d.8724]

I've only seen 3 clips of Melissa, but man they are so relatable

[@ninety5878]

shes such a good girl ; ;

[@Maruieieieieieie]

Thank you so much for this translation! I had to pause several times since a lot of things she said hit home and I started crying w

[@WillowMeow]

This is the fist video I saw of her but if anyone touches her, I would kill the entire town then myself speaking seriously. I got nothing but respect for this person for being able to face her problem, even adults run away from them and some just spent their lives being miserable. A real inspiration I must say now I'll go back to the closet

[@kiryucoconutstatsunoko1403]

i have found that meli is the same person as i am now 😄

[@natsood9030]

I really love how down to earth melissa is

[@bt8559]

Honestly speaking, I can relate to her so much. Being scared of what may happen. Being paranoid of very difficult situations... Just being paranoid of life itself. A difficult feeling to express. Thanks for the subs!

[@dinozero2]

3:55 This really hit close to me.

[@AnomalousMats]

That cutting ties but keeping the ones that matter runs really true for me although I take it a step further and focus on making those bonds worth keeping even stronger. Quality>quantity when it comes to relationships

[@inui3387]

welp this is relatable af

[@belacanepik1983]

Lol I can totally relate to her til it makes me scared

[@ledaupt1448]

So every vtuber has a deep and hard life behind of avatars??, anyway this stuff puts a inmortal smile in my face, support them ultil death :)

[@denifirman3280]
