The mixed up voices and lines give off a surreal feel to me, like it's just chaos, you don't know what to pay attention to and what to ignore... kind of like actual depression. But still, I LOVED THIS VIDEO :D
Xena Sorceress it sorta goes with the meaning of the song. This song IS about suicide and such so, maybe it was on purpose to make it feel like the voices talking to Miku. If it wasn’t done on purpose, it still sounds good. Also, when I mean by the voices, I mean by all the thoughts. Most will be making her more depressed while little are positive.
When the author states that there are no correct meanings, they're not trying to argue with anyone, they're just trying avoid conflict when people fight over which meanings are correct or not.
It's how depression works. All chaotic and it seems that you don't who you would listen too. Sadness, anger, chaos. All you need is someone to stop it all. Such a beautiful rendition. I really like this.
mind people's opinions if we like it then its fine u don't have type ur comment and expect someone to agree disagreeing isn't bad its our opinions but if u just reply to a comment that's saying that its bad ur the bad one then
It took me a long time to realize that the boy who hugs Miku isn't a loved one who is helping her. It's her depression she finally gave in and killed herself
+Krul Tepes yes,that is true.However my theory is that the "boy" is a representation of her mental disorders,and i don't believe she got help,as in the change of the endings of the chorus.(it changed from "for now" to "right now")
Minako The Neko that's also what I believe, but some might think that he's a physical person, friend or bully, and we'll never get a straight answer, so...we're not able to fully conclude that the boy is, indeed, a representation of Miku's depression, however likely it is.
Gotta say Akiakane's voice stands out the most in this song and often rises out over the rest. Not that the other voices are inferior, just that Akiakane has some serious pipes on her and it's hard not to notice her the most.
Even if the meaning was never explicitly stated by the original artist, people's interpretations on the lyrics or the meaning of the song are still completely valid because it is true to them and because they can support why they think why they do.
Exactly. Which is why I'm somewhat bothered by the uploader's rule of "don't post comments about the meaning of the song". It's like they don't want anything important said about it, and instead useless drabble in the comment section. So stupid...
The reason why I love this version is that it makes me feel Rolling Girl's feelings 0:33 - 0:53 Put me on the verge of screaming 1:02 - 1:22 I felt hopeless and small and weak 1:22 - 1:42 I felt like I was losing in a battle but still had confidence 1:51 - 2:01 made me feel like I was in my final moments 2:02 - 2:11 Puts me on the verge of crying and screaming 2:12 - 2:31 Makes me feel more confident 2:32 - 2:50 Makes me feel like I'm still fighting The rest of it made me feel warm and safe
the ten year anniversary of this passed back in march. i feel significantly older. coming back to this feels like coming back to a childhood home. i never stopped listening to vocaloid, but i haven't listened to this in quite a while. thank you for having uploaded them and bridging the gap between international and native fans.
Meaning of the song can be incorrect? This is not 2+2=5, one can interpret lyrics freely, this is the weapon of good author. We don't want to live in monochromic world, where there is only true or false meaning.
Because mysteries and multiple meanings cause confusion and chaos. If everything was ordered, if when something's not right it's wrong, where everything made sense, life would be much easier and objectively better.
+Hampsterman4 Being easy doesn't mean being good. Everything is ordered. But in a fun sort of way, let's say, let's assign meaning of this song to a set. Author could think about one of the element of the set, but other elements also apply. Why other people couldn't think about it? Just because author didn't think about them, they are wrong? And, back to beggining. Only very complicated problems can give high rewards. Easy world would not give satisfaction at all.
We wouldn't be discussing this if one of us was inarguably wrong. This is a matter of opinion, and I hate matters of opinion, because I can't tell you I'm right. Both sides of this debate exist in a state of semi-correctness, and I can't stand it.
My breath always catches when I hear this--it's like a group that came together to stand up, speak out, and give courage. I love it and it makes me want to make a difference. I've already started to fight for a few things on my own, but I'll need help so I don't roll away. And when it's over, the silence ALWAYS entices me to put it back on X3
I love this so much because it illustrates just how much this song resonated with so many people in so many different ways, each interpretation a little different from the next and sometimes clashing with another. It really shows the frustrating, panicked chaos that is at the core of the song itself. It's powerful.
The first time hearing this be like : "There to many chaos, and they are messing up the lyric. Totally not enjoyable." And then you just kept coming back to listen toward this song because the chaos is not a bad kind of chaos but a good chaos, and suddenly hearing the normal cover isn't that fun anymore.
Your continued efforts to transfer these videos are really appreciated. This particular one will continue to be stuck in my head for the rest of the week.
loved this. added the element of pure insanity that rolls in rolling girl's mind. that and all the pretty voices coupled together and you have one hell of a video!
That annotation in the beginning is kind of rude. The author probably didn't say the meaning, because they wanted people to draw different interpretations with it. Don't take that away from us.
@@oatmeal3013 There used to be an annotation where it was requested that people did not insists that this song is about suicide as that was not the definite intention of it's creation. It came off as a bit ruder than the request actually was and became a bit controversial. Must've been removed comparatively recently.
It's like a classroom of english and japanese men and women were tasked to sing rolling girl and all of them tried to sing it simultaneously so they overlapped so much yet it still made sense
I love how you described the people singing. It's like your hosting a cooking channel and the singers are your ingredients and then WALA a perfect song/dish:D
Why are you telling us not to talk about the meaning? Even if there is none, it's fun to speculate and debate. Telling us to not have fun is kind of a dick move.
It's people either start arguing or getting upset and even offended. The main idea behind it is also sad, depressing and triggering. But that's really just my thought.
I absolutely LOVE this!!!! Rolling Girl is one of my favorite songs~ Also, Rolling Girl was in this year's concert, and it was the full version and everything. I was delighted :D
this....is....art. its so beautiful and if i cant help but sing along to the origonal then i cant stop listening and singing to this version, it is EPIC.
I love the fact that this song is so busy. It's like, you just fall into the song and listen to it endlessly, since there's something new every time you listen to it... /is totally hooked, by the way.
owo I love this song, and Love is war... I don't know what song I'll do for my next cover but this is one possibility, because I think It represents very well the feelings of lot of people, like mine....
Truthfully, I like this version a LOT. I like to think that all of the singers are the many voices in the rolling girl's head, that are all singing at once. I think it's good that it's so chaotic and mixed up.
I like this version, actually, despite how so much is going on. It feels like there's so many point of views yet they're all connected somehow. It's so...emotional :)
My interpretation- Lonely Girl is lonely in World until comforted by Guy That, or she killed him and is lying to herself. I love making crazy interpretations! :D
I think the guys her suicidal thoughts and the girl asks to roll one more time every time the boy (her thought) grabs her.and at the end she gives in to her thoughts and kills herself
I think this wonderful mix fits with the part in the song where it says: "The overlapping voices inside her head keep echoing. So she mixes them around. She mixes them around." ♥
Now it all makes sense... I remember hearing a very good version of Rolling Girl... I had forgotten to check another nico uploader again, lol. This is probably one of the best versions of it.
this song is one of the most suited for nico nico chorus-ing, I think. the way the emotion and speed just builds up and builds up works really well for this style of combining voices.
Holap~ Alguien aquí habla español? ;-; PS: I FRIGGIN' LOVE THIS CHORUS! *sings and dances like a stupid* -Sorry for my bad english- Ahora, voy a suscribirme. Now, I will suscribe.
+Mei Misaki He's speaking English ("She said that I don't give a damn so let's come make some mistakes with me she tempts me on *sakamichi*"). I can't remember his name but it started with 'k' I believe, I'll do some looking around.
+Mei Misaki The singer's name is Mi-Chan. You can find his solo version here -> /watch?v=xW6ebVi_pr8 Or if you want the female English singer's (Mitsu Mushi) version thrown in too, you can find it here -> /watch?v=p0f-6-F8HtE
I instantly fell in love with the original, the lyrics are very relatable for me, and this one is so emotional at parts that I get goose bumps. Amazing
