Vocaloid songs EVERYONE misunderstands

[@pinkclouds9563]

Also the song sand planet, a lot of people are interpreting it as the fandom dying. It’s not! It’s about how producers come and go their own way and miku appreciating every moment even if it will become one of the memories that she’ll be celebrating (in her concerts). Personally I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s about fans leaving miku I don’t like that kind of guilt tripping mentality and it’s not like the producer to make songs about that

[@pinkclouds9563]

It may not be in a happy tone but It’s still a positive message. I think because even when we love people enough to let them go their own way it’s still sad to say goodbye. That’s why miku looks serious in the music video I think it’s a more mature outlook in life than what some fans are saying. If there’s anything in the song about the fans it’s that they need to move on to the next generation of producers and maybe become one too

[@gryficowa]

For me, "Roling girl" is more about obsessive pursuit of something, ignoring your needs and trying to hide the fact that you are getting worse, maybe I have such an interpretation, because unfortunately, but I am such a person :/

[@another-niko-pfp-holder]

People when Kikuo writes about child abuse and how it destroys and traumatizes children and doesn't romanticize it or portray it as a good thing whatsoever (but he mentioned the topic): :0

[@straw-b6f]

Got someone into Vocaloid. There first favorite song was Aishite, Aishite, Aishite. Had to tell them it’s not a Yandere song but something way more serious.

[@starblaze58]

weirdly enough, i've never heard anyone describe bacterial contamination as anythin other than bullyin, but i do like the interpretation of rolling girl

[@miriamb450]

9:22 The way I've seen most people interpreting it, it's not that she's mistaking the onee-san's kindness for abuse, it's that she's been so conditioned to associate abuse with love because of her father's treatment of her that she genuinely believes that because this brother figure doesn't "eat" her, he must hate her. That's why she ends up running away from him and back to her father.

[@pinkclouds9563]

Any song that people interpret as “the fandom dying” is probably incorrect and I don’t think the producers would ever be that ungrateful to the fans that are still here. So I wouldn’t go with any interpretations like that

[@jaydrawz53]

Regarding Kiko's lyrics, it's not only the fact that some are not reading the lyrics; but, they lack media literacy. So then a majority of the audience doesn't consume the meaningful message that Kikuo is telling throughout the song. . It's a shame because Kiko's poetry, metaphors, instrumentals, and figurative language is interesting to analyze, and discuss. It's funny because "Im sorry, I'm sorry" isn't the only song he's written of that subject matter. "Red riding hood's wolf" and "you are a useless child" are alike. I gotta say however, as much as "Im sorry, I'm sorry" creeps me out, its instrumental fits the theme of the song. Kikuo doesn't glorify the topic at all, he's doing the complete opposite.

[@cyberpeanut4375]

i agree with everything except for your point on kikuo not glorifying the topic, "i'm sorry i'm sorry" always gave me the vibes of someone who thinks the only way to portray the brutality of a topic is to just show it in the most fucked up way possible so it comes off kinda like an edgy teenager writing lyrics. i'm not saying you can't find comfort in the song or think it's a good portrayal of abuse, i'm just kinda sick of people saying it's deep when it's really not

[@Mycorrhiza]

​@@cyberpeanut4375 abuse is constantly minimized in Japan, so he didn't hold back. People call it deep because it portrays the feelings of a victim in that situation scarily accurate (minimizing, and normalizing the abuse) so, they cannot "just ask for help".

[@cyberpeanut4375]

@@Mycorrhiza that's one way of seeing it but for me, it just comes off more tryhard than anything else. especially with how it frames the listener in the position of the abuser, with the singer apologising to us. idk man, it just rubs me the wrong way from a lyrical standpoint

[@Mycorrhiza]

@@cyberpeanut4375 victims of abuse have a ruined self esteem, so they apologize for a lot of stuff not their fault. It's less portraying the viewer as the abuser but moreso showing how ruined the child is.

[@Mycorrhiza]

@@cyberpeanut4375 it's also made in the perspective of the child, so of course it's super "edgy" and dark, because the child in question is in deep suffering.

[@SammyDaVolt]

This is a really good video and I’m glad the misunderstanding of Bacterial Contaminations meaning is cleared up here, I just wanna say tho that Calne Ca isn’t really Deinos interpretation of Miku, it’s just Deinos original character called Ca cosplaying as Miku, and when Ca cosplays as Miku she’s called Calne Ca (also Deinos Gakupo is just another one of his original characters named Magnesium dressed as Gakupo)

[@HajoonFF6123]

I feel like everyone sees double lariat as just about spinning in a circle. I interpret it as Luka feeling like she needs to be better than everyone and drops them when she feels like not enough.

[@Mycorrhiza]

It's actually about a compared kid, I think.

[@SimplyMariposa]

I don’t think anyone actually sees it like that… When you look at the lyrics (at least in the version I watch), the parts where she sings about everyone being able to reach more fame, you can tell that’s what she’s talking about.

[@HajoonFF6123]

@@SimplyMariposa Oh. I looked at all the comments on the videos of it posted online, and on sub titled and non subtitled versions people were talkong about it being about spinning in a circle. Granted, I am very bad at figuring out when people are joking so it's great to know that's not how everyone sees it.

[@Lady_ETHNE]

Since you didn't mention these songs, I'm just gonna say it here: LITERALLY. EVERY. SONG. EVER. BY. MOTHY

[@WeebaLu]

Really? I would think the only songs difficult to understand is when you get to the songs about Eluka and the entire Re:Birthday project.

[@Lady_ETHNE]

​@@WeebaLu The thing is with Mothy's songs, you rather have to read a bunch of background lore to fully Understand the song, or listen to other songs to get what's going on.

[@ralifano1450]

Yeah, song like tailor shop in enbizaka is hard to understand. But for me, the twin mirror song is most difficult to understand.

[@WeebaLu]

@@ralifano1450 It's really weird but TLDR: The mirror-thing Hansel and Gretel released has a demon of pride inside of it and that demon possesses Rilliane as a child when they find the mirror on the beach except later in life, the demon somehow leaves but the effects of a demon still stay in Rilliane?

[@ralifano1450]

@@WeebaLu not that one, but the song about twin mirror from heaven. The song comfirmly cannon at the steel princess riralune song

[@kawaii33366]

This channel is a godsend. you're saying all the things i've been saying but been ignored. Im so glad that theres someone out here saying the same things. Especially on youtube, where people think the original uploads are BY the producers, when most things are fanmade.

[@tiffany-chan1235]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Alice Human sacrifice While mainly being based on Alice in Wonderland it also is kinda a commentary of Vocaloid itself, with the rise of the Main Crypton 5 in particular.

[@yourlocalbuddyhere289]

I'm sorry but can you elaborate further?

[@Anonymous-bi5pv]

yeah can you give more context

[@becomingpotatoes]

elaborate please

[@mynameskris]

dude you cant just say that and not elaborate

[@mistyisacat8012]

wasn't this a song abt a creepypasta?

[@SimplyMariposa]

0:00 Intro 1:30 Rolling Girl 4:19 Bacterial Contamination 7:39 I’m sorry I’m sorry 11:16 Explaining (?) On a different topic, I do think that people should really do some research before doing a video using different language. Like you never know when you’re dancing to a cheery sounding song, when in reality the song is about a kid who hates his mother, who then decided to unalive her 🫠

[@krisd2518]

Given the lyrics of Rolling Girl, and even the wildly popular PV, I've never really personally interpreted it as a song about bullying, and was kind of confused when I found out the general fan consensus was that it was about a girl who was bullied into taking her own life. To me it's always been exactly what you described, a song about a girl going through some kind of mental illness, trying to take it day by day, pushing herself to get through, even as she starts to spiral. ("One more time, one more time, I'm going to roll today too," sounds a lot like my daily mantra of "I just have to get through one more day" when I'm having an extended episode) It's been a comfort song for me since I first heard it over a decade ago, and probably one of, if not my top favorite Vocaloid song, because I can heavily relate to the lyrics. Of course, I'm not saying the interpretation that it's about bullying is wrong or a terrible interpretation, or that people can't see the song that way, it just doesn't make much sense to me personally.

[@JesterzzzXD]

as sad as it sounds - the way you explain rolling girl just makes it more relatable to me 🥲

[@WeebaLu]

It does! I think Rolling Girl is extremely relatable!

[@Beechepisode]

purple butterfly is just kinda,, in this nebulous space where it's a nostalgic song for alot of people who listened to VOCALOID in the late 00s/early 10s. Though the LYRICS they're so sad,, it's like the 4morant of niconico douga in 2009 /hj

[@princesspompom0054]

People also thought that gomene gomene was about cannibalism because of the metaphor used

[@fowyingahviyiff1878]

I love that you mentioned bacterial contamination, it's quite possibly my favorite vocaloid song and I absolutely love dissecting the lyrics and video

[@twofacedmiku]

Calne ca is actually calcium (deino’s oc) cosplaying as miku instead of her own separate character

[@flowerunofficial2723]

Despite having already known all this, I loved hearing you talk about it. I simply watched because I was curious what people get wrong. I was surprised when the reason “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” was misinterpreted wasn’t about the lyrics but moreso the way people see it

[@suraiV3]

doing the work producers have been wishing for, god damn

[@barbiemary67]

One song that pisses me off that a lot of people seem to misunderstand to me is Erase Or Zero. I have seen a lot of people that thinks that it is about a couple (Kaito and Len), but it's a song about friendship, not romance

[@aeriszona]

I didn't know gomenne gomenne was a tiktok trend, that is the only song I refuse to listen to again for personal reasons but I absolutely agree that it has amazing instrumentals

[@wxndplumes]

With gomenne gomenne i always thought that the brother or brotherly figure was trying to help the child but the child has gone through so much that she mistakes it for abuse because shes juat so broken. Tbh as much as a banger the song is i psychically cant listen to it after knowing what it says 😭

[@SourSalty]

Wrote a song about well our mental health issues So I can confirm Art doesn't perfectly reflect the artist

[@phosphatephan]

okay tbh this is a personal bias but i have always seen Rolling Girl as pertaining to suicide especially considering the last line where miku “stops her breath.” the guy in the music video though i have no idea what he is supposed to be. i wish he wasn’t there tbh i don’t think he adds anything since the song is all about being alone. that is probbaly another personal bias though because it reminds me of my ex and how i woulr fall onto him for support and then being abandoned when i needed it the most. i interpret myseld as miku in the song and i don’t want to think about my ex so idk man

[@genzhours9466]

Weebalu back at it again

[@chocolatequente4531]

ive always knew this meaning of im sorry im sorry, to the point i never even listened to the chorus of the song, the farthest i was physically able to go was 20 seconds, i cant bring myself to listen to more than that due to the theme but i really wish i could, this song is famous in the community and i feel like im losing vital experience not listening more

[@CatfactsPW]

7:52 LOL THAT MADE MY MONTH

[@Mynameachefff]

Bro lookes like the secret 4th Carmella Girl

[@Alastherra]

Calne Ca is basically the only "Miku" I actually like ... Never liked her that much. Preferences be like that I guess. But I have always loved Bacterial Contamination, and it was the first song I tried to do a cover of when I got V4 lol Now that you mention it I can't unsee Ito Junji in those headless schoolgirls ahahaha

[@condensed_sam]

Despite the Rolling Girl MV being a fanwork, i feel like your summary of the "misinterpretation" is inaccurate to how people actually interpreted the MV (or at least my understanding of it), mostly in regards to who the other guy in the video is. From he comments I've read, a common interpretation of the man's role in the MV is that he's a representation/manifestation of the MC's mental illness. He's not a literal tormentor, but an internal one of the MC. His act of hugging MC at the end of the video is often seen as MC's illness consuming her, possibly driving her to suicide; this interpretation is also strengthened by the final line being about stopping her breathing. I agree, though, that the reading focused on bullying does not have concrete basis in the lyrics. However, that reading is still valid, as songs can be read many ways, and readings that differ from what's explicitly written shouldn't be invalidated.
