ドラマツルギーの絵師さんが同じなのにすごい恐ろしく見える

[@島雅子-r2x]

絵師さんっていうかMahさんが絵と曲両方作ってるよ 凄すぎるね

[@quadreye]

Considering that Mah was the artist of Eve's recent songs, I REALLY want Eve to cover this. It would be amazing. His vocal suits this song very much.

[@dandanthedandan7558]

Quadreye ah that explains

[@cassiusnoel671]

I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?

[@maxwelljefferson2633]

Mahさんの絵が好きすぎてつらい

[@lavenderscare4995]

Mah is such a talented individual. Ironically enough, it was his surreal visuals that got me into e ve...

[@afreshloafofbread629]

I know this comment's two years old, but this was the case for me too!! Like, I KNEW the scribbly art style in Eve's MVs was familiar. I was so surprised and happy to learn Mah was collabing with him

[@無糖-n9c]

VY1の声とめっちゃ合ってる… 中毒性やばたん

[@Solana1412]

The PV is aboslutely gorgeous holy shit

[@みるくいちご-i4c]

学生時代に見つけて当時は不気味さを感じて怖かったけどなぜか定期的に聴きたくなる中毒性がある。「天天」からラストスパートにかけて盛り上がっていく感じが好きなんだよなぁ

[@radiophobia1974]

This song is so fucking chill. Not to mention how gorgeous the animation is.

[@leonardodavinci4259]

Back again. Iconic. Masterpiece.

[@daniell5282]

言語に表せない何かを脳の中に大量に流し込まれる曲。

[@marseatheadrest]

[@leko7071]

これ本人mahさんが作ったやつです。ニコニコで見れるよん

[@びんろうじ]

昔聴いたこの曲をずっと探してた

[@いわい-g5g]

この曲スンごイ中毒性高いですね！ 気がつけば聴いています！不気味な雰囲気がとてもいいですね！ 0:42←ここの唇が大変魅力的…

[@salamipiranha3249]

One of my favorite Vocaloid songs and PVs.

[@バルーン鍛アリアリ]

もっと評価されるべき

[@SahhiiChannel]

ここ一週間で知った曲の中で一番好き

[@StarlitLilies]

Oh hey, thanks for the the subs and romaji~ I don't remember if I've read the lyrics before but this is one of my favorites using VY1. ^^

[@MenchieExtrakt]

this song never gets old.

[@DustyMusician]

I like that Mah actually uses VY1's proper register

[@サクサクパンケーキ]

所見だと寝られなくなりそう...こわかっこいい..

[@user-pc3vv9jv8x]

うみねこのなく頃にを思い出すなぁ 特に0:47 Mahさんの絵好きだなぁ そんで鬱になりそうな神曲

[@xijingpoo7078]

Des is a Argument muss ma schon sagen

[@gachapinn04]

たまらない

[@litchfirmian7562]

This song to me is some kind of drug. This PV is fucking stunning and I can't stop myself from watching it.

[@leonardodavinci4259]

Ever since I found this song around 2 months ago it became my obsession.........Now I'm 24 hour "君だけが知っていてほかの誰も知らない名前......." XD

[@theprocrastinator6813]

saaaaaaaame

[@actuallyasriel]

Dude. This song is fucking chill. And surreal at the same time. read: this is my *shit* right here

[@SaSa-kp4sn]

五年くらいこの曲の名前分かんなくて、やっとわかって嬉しい

[@actuallyasriel]

I'm having an in-depth conversation about polyrhythm with my other music-y friend who knows more about it than I do and the bassline in this song is actually pretty neat to delve into theory-wise after learning abt 3:4 polyrhythm from adam neely, i thought maybe this track had one. i'm just gonna quote what they said: them: not sure either straight away. I think it might be though sounds like a triplet where the last note is tied by a straight eighth, followed by 3 more straight eighths to me ___3___ Q Q Q__E E E E me: would help if there were sheet music for it but it's such an obscure song yeah you might be right either way, awesome riff, love the circular feel of it them: so yeah, it's in a 3:2 relationship with the main beat but has some minor 3:4 relationships with other instruments it is a cool riff, yeah

[@nonsensicalabyss]

It's rouuuuuund, just like the ring : )

[@actuallyasriel]

Haha, awwww, look at little me, first getting their paws on music theory! I'll have to dissect this one a bit further at some point, but I think I actually did an OK job!

[@kangarookohai]

Oh golly. That was. Realllly good.

[@PsychoBabble2168]

That was really fucking weird I love it

[@チョコクロワッサン-m8f]

神曲だな

[@mizu239]

やべぇリピ止まらん……

[@user-my6mf9gu7r]

Mahさんほんま大好きや♡♡

[@あい-m4x1w]

見れば理解できるやつより、こうゆう考えさせられるやつの方が好きだけど難しい！考察班が欲しいぃ

[@Sickyyyy]

This is honestly so cool

[@SerialExperimentsKon]

[@くりがしら-b3k]

怖くね

[@miyadera5757]

wtf im such a fake fan i didnt know mah madesongs im sorry mah

[@ohnoreno]

does anyone know where I could find the off vocal of this song? I know it exists, I've found _covers_

[@mari0n333]

If you ever manage to find it, let me know!

[@deborahhaddick3616]

leeeah you and op should look on the producer's piapro, if they have one.

[@ohnoreno]

the creator seems to go under the username mah_hirano in most places-check that twitter handle for some goddamn _gorgeous_ art. That being said, their piapro is entirely empty and neither their nicovideo nor youtube accounts have any info regarding alternative websites that it might be on. _the search continues_

[@ohnoreno]

additional note: with a little more twitter stalking, I learned that the utaite who made a cover of this (Miyashita Yuu) is doing an extended collaboration with Mah and one other person. So, it's entirely likely that they were friends beforehand/one of them specifically reached out to the other and that's the only reason Yuu was able to make a cover.

[@mari0n333]

Hmm, yup, I remember when I looked I also found them to be sort of elusive. A damn shame tbh

[@leehitashi2621]

*OMEGOAT*

[@G_taren]

あ、この絵柄...ふーん

[@leonardodavinci4259]

AAAAAAAAAART!!!!

[@Nfnkepzhdbela]

Dxm in one song

[@senpai7705]

does anyone know the meaning of the song?

[@actuallyasriel]

a theory is that it's a political protest as has been coming increasingly prevalent in underground Japanese music in general, inside of Vocaloid and out about the Japanese hikikomori epidemic spurred on by the stigma of mental illness and the misanthropic sex-sells industry creating that very mental illness that drives them into an endless spiral of consumerism and self-isolation. that's one possible way to look at it at least.

[@obscuremist5195]

I... think it's probably meant to convey a bunch of ideas rather than tell a story. Kinda' left up to interpretation... (?) What I take from it is that the songs describing some kind of recluse (maybe suffering from extreme paranoia?) that refuses to leave their residence. In the tone some of the lyrics give off, it sometimes seem as if the singer is taunting whoever this reclusive person is. But that's just my take from it.

[@saxa-uta]

On the French translation of Utaite Yuu's cover (made by kurostuki91) there's someone explaining all of it perfectly, describing the possible meaning of each line. I'm too lazy to translate all of it though, so you might wanna look it up.

[@saxa-uta]

@QingXian Liu I can't find it anymore either : ( It was probably deleted.

[@leehitashi2621]

I don't get why vids like this only get like views in the 100k or 10k's while shit like despacito get fucking bIllions of fucking views!! THIS STUFF ACTUALLY TAKES EFFORT AND HAS SYMBOLIC MESSAGES IN IT UNLIKE A CERTAIN VIDEO THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT S E X!!!!!!!!!

[@夏さん-q4k]

児相とかネグレクトのことかな〜とか思ってしまうな

[@心月-m1d]

ニコ動のコメだと中絶、流産、宗教勧誘等の説もありました！｢頭をすぱっとカットして君を引きずり出していく｣と3分28秒の絵だと中絶かなーと思って考えたんですけど｢エレベーターのドアが開いたよ｣で児相なのではと全然わからなくなりました。あとヤギはキリスト教に関係していて、手の合図はヤギの足の指と同じ分かれ目?だから宗教勧誘とか････深いですね書くだけ書いてで結局なんだと思わてしまいそうですが

[@Pupcat]

Thissss aRT/////// and motttionnn
