【MARETU ft. Hatsune Miku】Rebirth (うみなおし)【English subtitles】 

Another old translation remade, or reborn even. Please check out my blog post for additional translation notes! karasuhana.jimdofree.com/2019/05/08/rebirth-maretu/ Here is the old translation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMjn9JYGPAE.html

I think this, SIU, and Coin Locker Baby are part of one story. SIU is the childs view, Coin Locker Baby is the mother, and this is either the mother or the father. I think this is about the guilt of abandoning the baby and trying to convince themselves that the baby will be fine to feel less bad about it.

I think this song is about a girl who fell in love in high school/college. She thought her partner was the best person ever, until she became pregnant after they married. I think, as a Japanese person, she was really pressured by society/her family/her husband to quit her job and be a full time mother. She gave birth to a girl, and resented her child for forcing her to only be a mother. She is a slave to motherhood and is expected to have more children, and give up any careers or hobbies that she had. She didn't know her husband thought like that, that "women belong in the kitchen". She's now telling her daughter to just accept her role as a future wife&mother now so that it'll be easier on all of them and thst her child shouldn't be too ambitious, because she'll only be reduced and viewed as an incubator later in life.

A lot of people are missing a crucial point which is that the implication of rebirth is twofold. One is that the mother keeps giving birth over and over again, the second that she is killing her baby. Presumably she keeps abandoning them like she did in Coin Locker Baby, because she wants to have her lover's child but knows (as is reasoned out in this song) that they will only have miserable lives because their father doesn't want them. It's not about the mother wanting to kill herself and be reborn (probably), and it's not about her raising a child, it's about her killing them over and over.

i know this story is about an unwanted pregnancy (hence the uterus as the image), but i like to think it's about someone being reincarnated or someone stuck in a timeloop, and trying to break out of the cycle

I had forgotten how much I loved this song

I like to think of this as another take on coin locker baby. Like the girl is talking about herself and talking to the baby, convincing them that they ought to do their job and die. And at the end, the baby grows up and pushes her into a train (in align with coin locker baby theories). Edit: I really like your translation the one on Vocaloidlyrics is a bit too abstract for my taste

just gonna put this here for me- 3:06

Maretu's songs sound like being manipulated by someone but being aware of it

If Maretu’s music was a video game, this would be the final bosses theme. It just feels like the ultimate Maretu song for some reason.

Maretus songs about unwanted pregnancies and unwanted children suffering are more impactful to me after the decision on roe v wade in the US. Women being forced to birth children into horrible situations are our unfortunate reality

The "Ah, I see!" part is honestly adorable just ignoring the entire context of this song

the "tabun" at the very end gets me everytime, thank you for this!

Is......Is the artwork a ram/goat head or a uterus??

I think this song is about someone who is unhappy with there current life and wants to change and be somewhere else but no one came to help them or accept them, so they told their self to just fake being happy while trying to find a way out and go to a new life(I think thats why its called rebirth) and tries faking emotions even when going threw server depression

yay!!! its back and even better!!!! tysm as usual tegan!

maretu. you are everything.

The two emotions are Netflix and chill and Vocaloid and panic. No I am not ok

If I showed this to my parents do you think they'll understand that me and miku share the same feelings [ about not want to be used and marriage ] Thank you so much, you truly help me to find a way to make them stop seeing me as a doll

This is the first time I’ve listened to this song, and it’s so good!! Maretu does awesome with those lyrics, and thank so much for translating!

Kinda scary how relatable this song can be

Is MARETU not active anymore as a vocaloid producer? He/She is doing something else now? But nice translation btw, this is one of my favourites from MARETU. I do think this song has been translated by someone else tho? Maybe it's my memory.

My personal theory on this (Especially because the cover is a uterus) is here: I think it’s about unwanted pregnancy And how a man and a women loved each other But once she found out she was pregnant she was ashamed of herself and said how she never wanted it and how it could end her relationship with the man/father. She then told the man and he obviously ended the relationship and pretty much said “I’m going to get the milk and never come back” Leaving the mother and the baby The song shows regret most of the time.

Thank you so much. This is one of my favorite MARETU songs. I also appreciate your translation notes; they added a whole extra level to the song~

Thank you so much, this is one of my favorite maretu songs and it means a lot to me!! Aaaa the lyrics are so good

everything maretu is in makes me go nuts

Why is it that every serious Vocaloid song has to have the railroad crossing

*LIKE THIS*

Thank you for translating this song again!

This stuff won't be so disturbing if the music didn't sound like Nintendo & Ringling Brothers Circus got bombed on Absinthe while the lyrics were are creepy dark. And Miku didn't sound like she was stoned out of her twin-tailed mind when singing it! 🤪🤐😬

This song and Coin Locker Baby both have the same "like this" sound thing.

This is the best translation I’ve seen so far! Great job uwu

im binge listening to maretu songs and this one reminds me of tiara newmaker

3:24 - 4:08 the best part, in my opinion

Has anyone noticed that the image with the words in it is shaped like a uterus?

Denial(否認) and contraception(避妊) are the same sound in Japanese.

It took me a long time to figure out what the word art for the background is. Like I knew, but I wasn't 100% sure.

2:19 just letting this to myself here

thanks for bringing this back 💖

daily reminder that that image is not an animal's head.

2 months of searching and I finally found it

Could you translate some of Carlos Hakamada's songs? The PVs seem amusing but i don't think anyone's translated their songs yet :3

I know what this song is about, but i can’t help but think it as being transgender, like in the start with “born a boy” and then “playing a lady”, wanting to be reborn and not feeling right with “born a failure”. And the “born in such an unshapely form, chased by a sick-feeling directed at myself” not being able to love yourself and stuff. Idk that’s js me tho

I cant read Japanese but I saw the Japanese written at the end of the credits of a video that had a song going I liked but idk what the song said so I couldn’t search it up but I looked for songs by maretu and clicked like 3 until I found this one lmaoo

I know it's about birth and parent/child relationships and stuff but this "rebirth" kinda looks like a person putting on different masks in a desperate attempt to be safe and loved by someone who possesses power. Or something like that

Love it

I'm listen this song every day

is that anime-sounding stuff in the first 17 seconds from anything in particular? cuz it sounds really familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it..

I know that this song is about struggles of womanhood and stuff, BUT. Imma bring up my old theory now. This song is somehow connected to coin locker baby, and SIU. The woman from the coin locker baby gets pregnant for the second time and give birth to a child, SIU is the mother's point of view and rebirth is the child's point of view, but still, i can't change meaning of this song and all my theories have to die

3:05 my favorite part

I love maretu now

RU-vid link to the original upload doesn't work.

for me 0:49 to 1:04 is the best part

3:07 3:22 There you go buddy *pat pat*

for a very long time i thought the image was some kind of demon goat and that the song is about being cursed to be reborn. now that i read the the comments i....

1:33 O K A Y !

Nobody is really talking about Coin Locker Baby was connected to this song?

.......good

I know what the 'cannon' interpretation of this song is. But for me it is about not being able to live up to expectations. To feel older than you are, a child forced to grow up too fast. Who has realized how cruel the world is. "It's too late to stand still" I've grown up now I can no longer live without awareness of the evil around. "You've done nothing wrong" it's what everyone says, that you are doing well in this world regardless of your mental state. "A life of abject misery" this is all there is. There is a slim to non-existent chance of happiness. "You were born useless" there is no path that will give you happiness or make you feel accomplished. But this is just my interpretation

残念に 生まれ損なったあなたには どう足掻いても 見るも無残な生き先しか 残っていないから。

What happened to all the old translation videos from other people? Copyright? There used to be one for all songs and now it looks like they're all missing. But good translation!

2:19

The image of this song made me uncomfortable for reasons so now I’ll try getting over it

3:22 Just ignore

I like this part 1:05

:) 3:05

i will fucking love this song forever

I will forever LOVE this song

3:22

1:07

Interp: it’s about a woman who was forced into marriage and parenthood extremely young telling her kid that they should basically end up as a miserable baby incubator like she did at their age. Rebirth could just mean passing generational trauma onto her kid which they would end up doing the same to theirs.

Pls why is there a uterus on my screen

Song plz

I WANT A MALE VERSION SO BAD 😭 I THINK I'VE ALREADY HEARD THE MALE VERSION BUT I CANT FIND IT ANYMORE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 SOMEONE PLS TELL ME WHERE IS IT.

Tbh this song reminds me of Petscop

Maretu needs Clearsight

2:49

Is this about a child who is always reborn and suffers

Almost searched up maretu train but I searched up maretu shed

EVANGELION!?

Is no one gonna talk about the image that is on the video? Just me ok..

why does the thumbnail look like an uterus💀

1:06 IDK Why I Put This XD-

You know

3:45 wha, wha,... that's a mistranslation right there, it suppose to be you've instead of you'll.

Rika Furude in a nutshell:

the lyrics triggers me so much because it reminds me of my mother....

Who else is here because @猫ゴコロ's Scourge video

i need an explanation / backstory

**reads some of the comments** Wait, this isn't about the tribulations of a trans girl and how she feels like a slave to heteronormativity and her amab body?

The picture low key looks more like a moose head or something than what it’s supposed to be

Is it about the mother of the son who would've been the coin locker baby being a closeted trans man and an abusive mother? I don't think he pushed her. I think she stood in its path.

Tenko Shimura died seeing green.

Normal People:Use Piano Normally Maretu: 0:10

What's maretu's pronouns?

i legit can hear someone pissing at the start n the end
