↑The Game of Life↓ (English Cover)【JubyPhonic】人生ゲーム 

me with my 10 alt accounts trying to win the argument on discord

*If Monopoly was an Anime*

Me, using multiple emails to use a free trial on Netflix:

are y’all kidding me there’s literally a game called the game of life and you’re out here saying monopoly??? smh my head

When someone puts their OC in multiple different stories

fanfiction writers in a nutshell

every one: complicated and crazy theories some dude: *SIMS*

Me trying to come up with an OC, making tons and then dumping their stories and forgetting them:

So do all the Mikus have their own names or do they use the Heather tradition? "Miku, tell Miku over there the tpose is banned from this damned table."

You know it's old if there's no JubyPhonic intro

Maturing is coming back 10 years later to finally understanding what the censored word was-

When you're so obsessed with fictional characters that you have so many AU ideas about them.

Life is just a game? Does that make us sims?

My brain hurts thinking about how many times they went through school

"Life is a game that's never won, you only play." Ouch. That's actually a really profound line, frigon ow.

Rin: Full delinquent Len: Serene blind pianist I like that accurate dynamic.

WHAT IF...ALL THE ENGLISH DUBBERS LIKE ASHE, ROCKEELIST, AMALEE AND JUBYPHONIC AND MANY MORE, CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE A BAD-END-NIGHT??? 

I just imagine someone playing the board game Life and laughing maniacally.

Parents : what an innocent child 8 year old me : this is my favourite vocaloid song!

Don't want anyone to feel old but used to listen to this and most of juby's stuff when I was 12. This was such an alien and different kind of music that it fascinated me so much I just couldn't get over the sounds and words. I would stay up on school night listening and trying to find out what they meant. Thank Juby for getting me into this. Once again sorry if I'm making anyone feel old.

Paradise... *Pair-of-Dice*

Found myself listening to this while playing the Sims.

DnD, that's the vibe I get. The dice, the multiple characters, it just fits so well.

I know we don’t really know much about the 11th life but I like to imagine why she is so terrified is because she was kidnapped and drove insane. And it still haunts her because of the torture her kidnappers did. That’s what I think the 11th life is about-

I've heard so many interpretations of this. But this song is obviously about the sims.

at 2:22, Miku has a thread in her mouth and scissors ready to cut it this is a reference to the greek Fates, who were said to cut your string when you died. clever!

1:50 NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS-

The lyric delivery at 3:14 in particular is fantastic honestly

The comment section is full of theories and jokes about monopoly, but almost nobody talking about how good the English version turned out... Still, it’s a pretty good comment section

A DnD character who realizes they're a character.

"I look down at all the puppets here... I look up at all the puppeteers..." That's still so chilling all these years later.

Okay so I'm sure others have done this already but I'm gonna do it anyway lol 'cause it seems like fun! Here's my little headcanon about what each of the lives entailed and how Miku died: 1. Miku lead a long, if rather boring, life. She always followed all the rules and never did anything bad or dangerous but because she never took any risks she also never really accomplished anything either, or did anything exciting. She was kind of a goody-two-shoes I guess you could say. She died of old age. 2. Miku (Rin) did all of the exciting, fun stuff she couldn't do in her first life, breaking all the rules. She drank, smoked, did drugs, had sex, and just generally broke the law. She might've joined a gang, too, judging by her baseball bat lol (a stereotypical item that Japanese delinquents carry). Eventually she died young, either from gang fighting, overdose, or from some other risky behavior that she engaged in. 3. Miku (Gakupo) was a hateful man who envied everyone around him. Eventually he grew so jealous and felt like life would never be as good as those around him so committed suicide as a young adult. 4. Miku (Len) was a blind pianist. He made lots of money and became very famous but died young again from cancer or some other terminal illness. 5. Miku (Kaito) was a womanizer who slept with a lot of women. He pretended to support women, acting like a gentleman, but in reality all he wanted was to get into their pants. Eventually he died in middle age when a jealous girlfriend murdered him after discovering him in bed with another woman. 6. Miku (Gumi) was a corrupt lawyer who made money by prosecuting the innocent and demanding large sums from his/her clients. She/He also ran for office and became a corrupt politician, once again extorting money, taking bribes, and falsifying documents all for their own personal gain. It was a very corrupt life, but kinda fun. She/He died of old age. 7. As punishment for her crimes, Miku (Luka?) in her seventh life was a depressed woman who spent her whole life crying and mourning. She had a rough childhood and ultimately committed suicide as a young adult. 8. Because her seventh life was so horrible, Miku's eighth life was much better. She (Meiko) was born into a wealthy family and spent her whole life gambling and buying pretty much whatever she wanted. She died in her 40s when someone murdered her for her money, or because she crossed them in some other way. 9. Miku was a mangaka (manga artist) and led a fairly decent life. She managed to secure a job drawing manga for a company but couldn't meet the deadlines. She lived in a small, humble apartment and died from chronic disease caused by her unhealthy lifestyle of eating only ramen (because that was all she could afford) and stress. That or she committed suicide because she couldn't take the stress of all those deadlines (basically death by overwork which even has a term in Japan, karoshi). 10. Miku was a pedophile (ewww) kindergarten teacher and died when he was accidentally struck by a car coming home from work one night (good riddance). 11. Her eleventh life was so terrible, Miku doesn't even want to remember it, it's that traumatic. Considering what she went through in previous lives though, what could possibly be even worse than all of those things she mentioned? I don't know, but judging by the short snippet we see of her smiling psychotically I'm guessing she was a serial killer (perhaps even an especially brutal one) and/or she was raped. 12. After all the crap she's been through and having lived eleven different lives, Miku is granted some reprieve as a shinigami (basically a Japanese death god/grim reaper). She helps the other shinigami to watch over and manipulate the lives of humans, but secretly behind all of them there is another, higher god which is controlling all of them maybe?

I know now what I must do... I MUST MAKE A SIMS CHALLENGE BASED ON THIS SONG!

No one: Not a soul: Every single roleplayer: *this song*

At 2:40 it says "Cry out all your eyes or win a new fortune, the chance is one out of six" so by this I think that the numbers on the dice reveal the fate of what the person living will have. In number 1 or 7 (since a dice has six numbers, number seven is the reset part), 1 said it was 'boring' but the background indicates that some sort of job applications or something else were all rejected and the figure there was sad and looked miserable, in 7 the song says that 'I cried so much all I did was mourn" which means that they were sad and miserable too, meaning that number 1 means a life of sorrow and sadness. In 2 and 8 though, 2 says that they were able to to anything that the first life didn't let them, and the image shows us that they were causing chaos and seeming to be happy about this, while what they're doing is harmful and doesn't help others in any way so 2 means that a life where they're happy but others aren't, along with 8 they say that "I could've bought the whole world and everything" which also means a life where they're happy but others aren't, 'cause most people aren't glad of others success. So number 2 means a life where the person in it is happy, but others are not. In 3 or 9, 3 says that they were a "hateful man, a poison to the bone" and the image shows a figure about to hang themselves, so it means that they were harming themselves, in 9 they say that 'I drew some manga but the deadlines left me 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙' and the image shows someone crying in the back and their hands grabbing their hair, there is also something behind the lyrics that looks like a sharp object, the lyrics also means that they were forcing themselves to reach the deadlines, since overworking is a type of self harm, and both of them have the same meaning number 3 means harming themselves. In 4 and 10, 4 says that ''I played piano but just didn't have the eyes to read the notes'' meaning that they don't have one of the important necessities to play the piano, but they're still tying to to it, which means struggling to achieve something or not having the qualities to do it, the second one works better though because in 10 they say that they were a teacher and a p3d0 alongside that they worked part-time, being a teacher and that isn't a good suit so it also means not having the qualities to do their job, so 4 means not having the necessities to do what they're doing. In 5 or 11, 5 says that "I supported girls, of course that wasn't all' which says one thing, but the 'wasn't all' part implies that there were other things too, now we need to chain this to 11, 11 says "Sorry, I try to forget... Never could describe how awful - no, I'm terrified to think of all" which means something horrid had happened. so the 'wasn't all' part may also mean something bad. So even if I'm not 100% sure, 5 means something horrid and awful happening. The 12th life isn't given in the video but, if we use @creampuffster 's theory, it implies that the 12th life is the Flaky God itself, at 3:17 it says "Ah, look down at all the puppets here, ah, look up at all the puppeteers" this implies that the god uses the people in the back as puppets, using them and possibly harming them, and they also seemed to smile at the end of the clip, 6 says that "My life was corrupted, though I guess it was little fun" meaning that 6 means a corrupt and a type of a wasted life, the image also shows papers dangling from the back and a figure with a suit and tie, so it may mean something like a corrupt government worker or something like that, so I think that 6 means a corrupt figure, causing harm to others and taking joy out of this. But these are just my thoughts, please tell me if you have any other improvements about this, thanks for reading!

I do love the implication that Karma showed up for the school teacher. Hurt kids? Your next life will so traumatic you'll try to forget

Have to be honest,this sounds like someone telling all the lifes he had on bitlife

Feel like the only one here who wants to know what happened to 11....

Theory: Blindness in the 4th life was “punishment” for committing suicide in the 3rd. Biblical suicide is a one way trip to hell for some reason, and the flaky god controlling life didn’t have their fun, so they punished her

Anyone else picture there ocs in this song? Like your ocs are looking up at who's pulling the strings, which is you. My ocs would absolutely hate me for giving them such a horrible life

Not gonna lie, if I ever gained omnipotent powers I'd probably ended being like this god at some point or another

“Chances 1 out of 6” Pulls out 12 sided dice* Try me

Why does this song fits Yumeko jabami or the President from kakgekurui so well

The "Such a laugh, HAH! Life is just a game!" gives me so much serotonin.

I like how at the end it shows the people controlling the pawns are actually being controlled themselves

If life is a game, that means I play games within a game.... I like this game

I love seeing how people are saying games in which you are pretty much a god who decides to be a bitch but like, I found this song through a Junko cosplay

To everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve To everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down and get some rest, no matter the time. To everyone who is creating, you got this. Your art is amazing. Remain in your flow and get stuff done! These are not my words, but spread these and copy paste

Life is such a funny game... You roll the die. And they all DIE.

Sims 5 looks fun

My danganronpa interpretation of this song! 1 life-Hajime Hinata 2 life-Nagito Komaeda 3 life-Izuru Kamukura 4 life-Kaede Akamatsu ~ 5 life-Tenko Chabashira 6 life-Junko Enoshima 7 life-Shuichi Saihara 8 life-Byakuya Togami ~ 9 life-Ryota Mitarai 10 life-Koichi Kizakura 11 life-Kyoko Kirigiri Notes: 1 life- pre-new world program, Hinata was a boring reserve course student, which is why he agreed to the Kamukura project 2 life- I didn't feel Komaeda psycho enough to be considered the sixth life however he seems to be somewhat opposite of Hajime so I thought it fit 3 life- Bitch please. Name a more hateful character in Danganronpa 4 life- Kind of a no-brainer. I mean, she *is* the ultimate pianist ~ 5 life- "DEGENERATE MALE!" That's literally all it should take to explain this 6 life- I had trouble deciding between Monaca and Junko (sorry Tsumugi stans). But then I decided that Monaca can be a little too chill sometimes. And in dr3 episode 7 she claims it was "this whole phase I was going through" and asks Toko and Komaru to pretend it never happened. 7 life- This role 100% goes to the perverted emo detective 8 life- "so rich I could've bought the world and everything". This one seemed fairly obvious to me. ~ 9 life- I absolutely love Mitarai and also refuse to associate Hifumi with such an amazing song. Don't @ me kinnies 10 life- I have nothing against Kizakura, in fact I actually really like him, however Haiji is not a teacher. Also, he isn't exactly a pedo*****, but he does joke with Jin about being willing to marry Kyoko if anything were to happen to him. 11- "sorry I tried to forget". Perfect for my amnesiac cinnamon roll. If you think differently, debate in the replies!

2:53 I DID NOT EXPECT THAT

Theory: This song is acctually about playing the board game, LIFE

You ever notice that in the end the god was just controlled by another god.

This one of the rare Rare *Rare* *_RARE_* Occasions where the cover is better than the original

When you make many OC's but most don't have personalities so you destroy them:

danganronpa fandom: *its free real estate*

Hmm... there are 11 options, which fits with the possible combinations for a pair of dice (a max of 12 dots, and minimum of 2). The most common result for a pair of dice is 7 (the most possible combinations, and each combination has equal probability). Number 7 is "I cried so much, and all I did was mourn". So, the most common outcome is "I cried so much, and all I did was mourn"... Interesting, no?

Me putting myself into different stories with different backstories: * sweating intensely *

WAIT, SO BASICALLY THE DIE IS CONTROLLING HER LIFE AND MAKING HER DO ALL THESE CRAZY THINGS IN DIFFERENT LIFES? :0

I actually have a theory about this song where the girl (miku) has twelve different split personalities and the last one thinks that it's the leader of all the rest and the die that "decides every day" is actually just representing the chance of which personality controls for each day

I think this song could also be about karma, because all the lives tend to follow a pattern. For example: the first life was boring, but since she did nothing wrong she was allowed to do 'all the things the first life didn't' in the next. However, as she's holding a bat in that image it probably isn't wrong to assume she was violent and hurt people. So comes the next life - as a 'hateful' man, who looks like he has a noose around his neck, implying he was a bad person driven to suicide. In the fourth, he was a blind pianist - he got to practise a talent. This seems like something to make up for whatever drove him to suicide. Plus there's no reason to assume he wasn't still successful, so he atoned by working hard at something despite not having 'the eyes to read the notes.' In the fifth life, the character was an advocate for women's rights, presumably carrying on working hard from the fourth life. Assuming she was a successful advocate, she probably had to work a lot, which meant little time for fun. So the sixth life was 'corrupted but fun' - the opposite of her previous honest/admirable yet tiring work. But that corruption had to be atoned for in the next (seventh) life, where she cried a lot and was always in mourning. Conversely, the ninth made her rich - money isn't happiness, but it could have been an attempt to give her an easier life. Once she'd lived her lavish life, the ninth came along and made her work extra hard; from the illustration, it could have been a children's manga she worked on. So in the tenth, rather than giving to children at her own expense, she TOOK from them and only gained from it. But this was unforgivable, as any sane, rational person would agree. So the eleventh life was 'so awful' as a punishment for the disgusting things s/he did in the tenth. The whole 'lives' thing is a metaphor. It's a demonstration of how the things you have done, good or bad, will come back to you when you least expect it. Even at times when you might feel safe from the past. Anyone would think that the person in the video would be safe from his/her actions when they began a new life, but actually, karma will always find a way to follow you. But that's just me. I love this song btw!

If I had one wish, my wish would be to remember all of my past lives, if reincarnation is real. and I would want to remeber all the lives for all my future lives, too.

2:41 sounds like she is saying nani 4chan

Boi I jut got a monopoly ad like wtf

**hears the beginning** *T h i s i s n o w m y f a v o r i t e s o n g*

Finding old jubyphonic covers is nostalgic

that song had a huge part in my mental deterioration. i love it

"Just didn't have the eyes to read the nooooooooooooooootes" That moment when your lipsyncing and u yawn at the perfect time

If this was an anime, I would watch it.

What people don’t know is that this is about a cat that lived more lives than what they were supposed to and has become more intelligent than any human on earth.

My first life was so boring just forget i mentioned it And my second seemed to let me do all of the things my first life didn't Third life was a hateful man all poison to the bone In my fourth, I played piano but just didn't have the eyes to read the notes In my fifth life, I supported girls - of course that wasn't all My sixth life was corrupted though I guess it was little fun Seventh life I cried so much and all I did was mourn In my eighth life, was so rich I could've bought the world and EVERYTHING In this life is a game played by a flaky god He gambles every life Try to escape but you know the path you're on is game and set See how the game of life is playing all of us for fools Dancing a string around us, making all these silly rules See how he looks down on us like we're acting out a show Throw the dice and let's see which head will roll… By nine i drew so manga but the deadlines left me dead my tenth life was a teacher, as a pedo***** I worked part time Next life, what, eleven? Sorry I try to forget… Never could describe how awful - no I'm terrified to think of all The things that such a die can do, kinda crazy Deciding everyday Try to escape but the days repeat and keep you here to stay See how the game of life is never won, you only play Bore him and you will find you're crumpled up and thrown away Clinging to fate and blaming it when life won't go your way Such a laugh HA! Life is just a game Cry out all your eyes or win a new fortune The chance is one out of six Try to escape, why not try your luck and see what you may get? See how the game of life is playing all of us for fools Dancing a string around us, making all these silly rules See how he looks down on us like we're acting out a show Throw the dice and let's see which head will roll… Sickly grinning downward, tosses out a pair of dice Cheating way around the board "Ah this is paradise" People praying on their knees but no there to hear Ah look down at all the puppets here Ah look up at all the puppeteers

Almost two years ago I wrote my very first fanfiction listening to this song on repeat. What a mistake that was.

my parents found me listening to this while slaughtering an entire city of sims... they started knocking on the door more frequently from that day on

When you change your header and pfp ten times a month

This sort of reminds me of different D&D things. The first 4 are examples of characters (standard, evil, edgy, detrimentally unique). The next 4 reminds me of different kinds of campaigns (for the good (and money), corrupt, depressing, super wealthy). And the 9th reminds me of the group artist who has to give up because they can't finish, and 10 and 11 remind me of rpg horror stories. Needless to say Game of Life would be a very interesting plot for a campaign.

what if the Mikus _aren't_ the only puppeteers? In the end when it says 'ah, look down at all the puppets here!' different Mikus are shown. You could say it was them looking at their game and gloating at the suffering of their puppets, but I think they _are_ the puppets this lyric talks about. During the lyric 'ah, look up at all the puppeteers..' Miku has a blue string around her neck. Like, a puppet string. So the Mikus are also puppets! What if when it says 'look up at the puppeteers' we should look up a bit more? Someone is controlling the Mikus while they're controlling other people? I'm pretty sure everyone else noticed this but I saw comments theorizing only about the meaning of all the lives.

I've always thought this was the story behind this song: The first life was a normal girl. She was tired of her lame life so she made a deal with a trickster god to make her life interesting. He agreed and made her a deal he warned her there was a catch. She died from a heart attack Her second life was what she always wanted. She was a daredevil and did everything she never did in her first life. Her second life died from a car accident She found the catch was she would be reborn 10 more times somewhere between her 2nd death and 3rd life and thus she was bitter and hateful about it to everyone around her in her 3rd life. Her third life hung themself. It was between her 3rd death and 4th life that she discovered that what she did in her previous life would decide what happened to her in the next one. As punishment for being hateful and spiteful, in her 4th life she was blind but still tried to remain cheerful and played piano as her way of apologizing for her 3rd life. Her 4th life died from being hit by a car. In her 5th life she tried to give back to the world be trying to get rights for women and people with disabilities in thanks for the woman in her past life who taught her piano in her 4th life and wanted to give back to society to continue to apologize for her 3rd life. Her 5th life died from old age Her 6th life she was a politician and at first, did help a lot but, soon became corrupted. Her 6th life was assassinated. Because she both helped and harmed in her 6th life, her 7th and 8th were affected. She was punished for her corrupted in her 7th life by everyone everyone she married or fell in love with seemed to die. She was constantly a widow. Her 7th life died from depression. She was rewarded for what she did before the corruption by her being a millionaire in her 8th life. Her 8th live was poisoned In her 9th life, she was given an option. She decided to be something she had always wanted. A manga artist. However, she died in her twenties from stress. In her 10th life, she became a teacher. Mentally affected by the manga, she had written, she was a cougar when it came to her students. Her 10th life was killed by diabetes. In her 11th life she was punished for this by her life being to awful to even describe. Her 11th life was brutally murdered. This song takes place between her 11th death and 12th life as she is singing about what she was experienced as she walks to the door to her 12th and final life.

Why is no one talking about how in the end you can see that Miku is controlled by another god that holds the blue string she has around her neck?

Even after 10 years this is still a masterpiece

8th Life: When you type motherlode 10-15 times.

Miku, I think you should stop playing the Sims for awhile.....

Me: ugh music class sucks, we have to learn songs by heart Also me: *knows the lyrics of almost every Vocaloid songs by heart*

Can't believe this is free to watch

I knew I shouldn't have clicked it, I can't stop listening, Ugh!!!

*_Ah,look down at all the Puppets here..._* *_Ah,look up all the Puppeteers..._*

every now and then i get the sudden urge to listen to super old vocaloid songs/covers and this time its this banger

Came her from the danganronpa animation of this and I must say I am happy I came across this. This is one of the best songs I have ever heard

My sixth life was corrupted, though I guess it was a little fun. Nagito, is that you?

So, a standard game of DnD?

this video is almost 11 years old by now and i still find myself regularly comming back

Don’t you love it when you find a song that matches your own beliefs

I think of this song as the unfortunate story of a Timelord who's slowly becoming more and more corrupted as his/her lives run out...

"Ah this is paradise" (3:11) "Paradise" "Pair of dice" ...

My ocs while I'm still making them: My immortal OC:

I am rewatching these old covers because I always loved them back then. I still do. BUT WHAT THE HECK THAT TEACHER LIFE-

1.) Is when your young and your innocent 2.) Is when you get a bit more rebellious 3.) Is when you start getting a bit depressed 4.) Is when you start to just give up and do something to distract yourself such as learning to play an instrument 5.) Is when you may start to date 6.) Is when you start maybe not doing your schoolwork. 7.) Is when depression can spike and you cry 8.) Is when you are fresh out of highschool and your parents may give you some of money 9.) Is when you may get a job that you despise 10.) Is another job that you may like better than the first 11.) is when your maybe older and start going a bit crazy But these are just theories

I think someone had an existential crisis writing this, aha.

This cover never gets old. So great and honestly i almost prefer it over the original. great lyrics and very well done. it hasn’t gotten old after all these years. it will be ten years old in 2 weeks from now but it’s still like it’s fresh!

OH I HAVENT HEARD THIS SONG IN A HOT FEW YEARS
