【Yuzuki Yukari】 DEAD HAND 【VOCALOID Original】 

soviet schoolgirl uniforms are underrated

I like to imagine that she just gets up at 4 AM and runs around, preaching "The end is near", and people are trying to sleep while she just runs on the snow like some sort of wolverine. Everyone else is pissed because they were woken up by a rampaging school girl at 4 AM.

It just hit me that 'snow' probably means nuclear ash not normal snow. Man that's dark.

This song is such a gem it goes so hard It’s also the reason I gave a presentation on the dead hand system during our us history’s Cold War unit bc my teacher didn’t know what it was lol

Considering Dead Hand was a nuclear weapons controller this isnt a bop; its a boom

HOLY CRAP THE TRIPLE MEANING BEHIND "YOU KNOW IT'S M.A.D. AND IT'S ALL ABOUT TO BLOW" SLAPS

Okay, theory time: So dead hand (also known as perimeter) is a Russian nuclear weapon's control system and backup communications system from the cold war, designed to decide how best to retaliate to an all out attack. It apparently was meant to prevent a false alarm retaliation, and could even decide how best to counterattack with no (or at least minimal) human input. So, how does this play into the song? I think the singer is Perimeter. She talks about people being warned through a siren (remember, Perimeter is also a backup communication system) and hiding. Perimeter then goes on to say "oh I cant take it anymore, the grave being all to lonely without your sickly body by my side" I think this is more of a metaphor suggesting that Perimeter has deemed the enemy threat significant enough to issue a counterattack, which is why she wants the enemy dead. Perimeter then continues with "say is this how the world ends, with your distorted voice still ringing from every corner", again alluding to the sirens warning of nuclear attack. Perimeter then says "What a shame you may call it senseless, but I am now devoid of what I would call hindrance of love" I think this part refers to the fact that Perimeter can make decisions without human input, and regardless of whether or not people think it's senseless, she is not held back by a love for people. The main chorus then says "oh this is overwhelming, time for the iron curtain call" the iron curtain call is Perimeter getting ready to follow out her duty and issue a nuclear counterattack. "Iron curtain" was a term used in the old war, referring to a separation between the democratic and communist sides of the world. She then continues "panic seeping through the fractured border wall" suggesting that there is panic, and perhaps that people are breaking through the border. Perimeter then says "My livid heart powers this reactor core, Oh this is all wrong! But I don't mind at all" again Perimeter is the one controlling the nuclear "reactor core", and even if everything is "all wrong" she doesn't care, and is following out her protocol. "Turn up the volume, execute the protocol, you know it's M.A.D and it's all about to blow" Perimeter is giving a final warning before the attack. M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) refers to the concept of both sides attacking eachother with nuclear bombs, killing everyone. "What an unfortunate way to end this show, I'll shed a tear as you vanquish in the snow" the snow is probably referring to nuclear snow, so Perimeter is saying that she will mourn those who die in the nuclear explosion. The PV then shows Perimeter throwing a bomb, and she sings about (successfully?)destroying the enemy. We then see a ruined perimeter, suggesting that the nuclear bomb hurt her too. She then sings about a white line on the horizon, which is the nuclear bomb being fired. Well, thats my theory, feel free to debate and tell me you're thoughts!

"Iron curtain call" was a nice touch, made me smile a little, too. *this* will keep them out for sure!" And then they just went around it lol

*sees notification* *rushes over* *struggles to untangle phone charger* *struggles to untangle earbuds*

Listening this bop 2:50 " I shed a tear as you vanish in the snow" ..... Wait a MINUTE "I have found you there in the darkness, in the snow perfectly liveless" - the faulty feline philosophy CONSPIRANCY THEORIES INTENSIFIES

notif: ferry just upl- me: *clicc*

I actually like how author separates the singer from humanity by saying "YOUR voice on every corner" since when attack strikes they usually have a system that announce it in native tongue for the area(russian Dead Hand is no exception to that rule), it is usually a recording of HUMAN speaking. So from the song we can clearly deduce that the singer is nor human, nor a living thing("greetings from underworld" part hints it).

I just noticed the letters on the missile - мир (read like "mir") is a word in Russian, meaning "peace"

I can imagine this girl at 3-4am running around the city in the most cold winter ever, preaching how end is near, while being only dressed in her school uniform. No coat, no warm boots and mittens or hat, while not showing any signs of frost bite or simply being cold

Любопытно, но на ракете на 1:15 написано "мир". Учитывая, что здесь говорится про "Периметр", который должен уничтожить все в отместку, этот момент смотрится о-о-очень интересно

Пиздец, уж чего , но песню с советской тематикой и отсылккой на систему "периметр" в исполнении вокалоида... Это просто прекрасно, я нашел это совсем недавно, а уже послушал , как минимум , раз двадцать, не меньше.

This song hitting different now

M.A.D..... Mutually Assured Destruction.... Clever

The song makes more sense if you actually know what the “Dead Hand” is.

Super glad Faulty Feline Philosophy blew up and I found you. Looking forward to even more from you in the future~!

GEEEEEZ Your instrumentation is getting better all the time! I love love love that segment from 1:30 to 2:27 - it kind of feels like the escalation of a nuclear weapon in and of itself, the rising, the thudding, and then the comparative silence, god I love it so much And as always your lyrics are top notch too, let's not forget that

your music is so good! you're improving so fast!

Lyrics A siren sings into a studio microphone And just like bugs the people retreat under the dusty floorboards Oh I can’t take it anymore The grave is all too lonely without your sickly body by my side Say, is this how the world ends? With your distorted voice still ringing from every corner What a shame, you may call it senseless But I am now devoid of what I would call the hindrance of love Greetings from the underworld Oh this is overwhelming, time for the iron curtain call The panic is seeping through the fractured border wall My livid heart powers this reactor core “Oh this is all wrong” but I don’t mind at all Turn up the volume, execute the protocol You know it’s M.A.D. and it’s all about to blow What an unfortunate way to end this show I shed a tear as you vanish in the snow A message written in uranium on the rocket fuselage Hey, say, could it be? My mind is playing tricks on me A vision of you fades away like a mirage Oh it’s a beautiful catastrophe Say, the world ends in silence With my distorted image smiling at every corner Can you see it on the horizon? A narrow string of white light splitting in half the melancholy sky Oh this is overwhelming, time for the iron curtain call The panic is seeping through the fractured border wall My livid heart powers this reactor core “Oh this is all wrong” but I don’t mind at all Turn up the volume, execute the protocol You know it’s M.A.D. and it’s all about to blow What an unfortunate way to end this show I shed a tear as you vanish in the snow

A BOP

the fact that this song feels relevant in the current realities is too absurd

it was probably obvious but getting that M.A.D. meant mutually assured destruction after by 3rd listen was pretty cool

Man this combines two of my oddly specific interests [The Cold War & English Vocaloids] in an amazing way! Keep up the good work!

quick update ----> the VSQXs for mr fox and the faulty feline philosophy are up!! they are linked in their respective videos' descriptions! sadly I don't have the older vsqxs anymore, but maybe that's for the better - my tuning back then was even messier than it is now and that's saying a lot lol

Em, fuck Too close for comfort

heck this is good, ?!?the theme is rlly cool too :0c war history stuff is rad

Me: Looking for information about Soviet Dead Hand nuclear missile system RU-vid:

I wasn't paying attention the first time I heard this song, so it sounded pretty normal - dark, maybe, but that's just Vocaloid for you - and then I actually listened, and it's the personification of the end of the world. The name was way less metaphorical that I assumed.

Bro I forgot about this song 😭😭😭 it’s so good

めっちゃ好きだ....

Bro I adore the themes each video of yours has it's like super cool.

Thanks for helping pass my History test. :D

Oof there’s always so much effort in your work, this is great!

A BOP 😍😍 I adore how you use Yukari's voice in this ♡♡♡ I don't often hear her sound like that!

This is like Hachi meets GHOST, and I fucking love it. You're on my radar of fantastic producers now. It's so manic and smooth at the same time like,, kill me. The chirpy little notes are all hopping around in my earholes, and the bittersweet lyrics leave a nice sting.

Я так понимаю, что сейчас все ± современные песни, связаные хотя-бы на 0,0000000001% с войной будут называть "пророческими "

A siren sings into the studio microphone, and just like bugs, the people retreat under the dusty floorboards. Oh, I can't take it anymore The grave is all too lonely without your sickly body by my side. Say, is this how the world ends With your distorted voice still ringing from every corner, what a shame, you may call it senseless, but I am now de- void, of what I would call the hindrance of Love. Greetings from the under- world. Oh this is Overwhelming, time for the iron curtain call, the panic is seeping through the fractured border wall, my living heart powers this reactor core, oh, this is all wrong, but I don't mind at all! Turn up the volume, execute the proto- col, you know it's M.A.D. and it's all about to blow, what an unfortunate way to end this show, I shed a tear as you vanished in the snow. A message written in uranium on the rocket fuse- lage. Hey, say could it be? My mind is playing tricks on me, a vision of you fades away like a mi- rage, oh it's a beautiful catastro- phe. Say, the world ends in silence, with my distorted image smiling at every corner. Can you see it on the horizon? A narrow string of white light splitting in half the melancholy sky. Oh this is Overwhelming, time for the iron curtain call, the panic is seeping through the fractured border wall, my living heart powers this reactor core, oh, this is all wrong, but I don't mind at all! Turn up the volume, execute the proto- col, you know it's M.A.D. and it's all about to blow, what an unfortunate way to end this show, I shed a tear as you vanished in the snow.

Your lyrics are amazing! I don’t think I’ve seen lyrics as consistently brilliant as yours in a very long time!

What the fuck do you mean by "sloppy PV" its not the best PV I've ever seen sure, but its still incredibly good. You've inproved a lot keep it up ♡♡♡

"i shed a tear as you vanish in the snow" OH SHOOT THIS IS FAULTY FELINE PHILOSOPHY 2 ISN'T IT

omg this is so BOPPIN I'm in LOVE

This is M.A.D!

Единственный автор, чьи вокалойдские треки мне так заходят, ещё и из России хд У вас есть паблик в вк? Хотелось бы сильнее следить за творчеством.

i never knew you could speak russian! :0 the fact that you can write music and draw so well is so inspiring

Да, вот чего я не ожидал в своих рекомендациях, так это песню... Через вокалойда... Про "Руку Мертвеца". Нет, я ни в коем случае не жалею, но это было весьма внезапно.

0:27 for some reason this image is super funny to me like the girl is all like “bruh maybe you could tone those sirens down a little more?”

You are improving a lot!!!

Твои песни становятся все лучше и лучше с каждым разом! В особенности музыкальная часть. Текст тоже на высоте: он не просто красиво звучит, но также и смысл в себе какой-то несет. В этом плане мне очень сильно понравилась "The Faulty Feline Philosophy", аж фанфик написать захотелось) Короче, просто хочется пожелать тебе намного больше подписчиков и просмотров! Чтобы как можно больше людей узнало о твоем творчестве) А я буду и дальше сидеть в ожидании новых шедевров)

This is so good ;w; Both the pv and the song

0:43 is epic

The Dead Hand is fucking terrifying of a concept but it makes a great song name!!!! ✨💫⭐️🌟

What a way to find out about dead hand!

Posadist schoolgirls? Based

this is the chaotic version of the song someone did for their history project and im loving it

i'm in love with "say the world ends in silence / with my distorted image smiling at every corner" verse Right kind of creepy and painful

БоОоОже мой, с этими песнями я не узнаю голоса вокалоидов! Это прекрасно, что хоть кто-то может так делать. То есть, по мне так, голос становится более живым и его сложно узнать без подсказки. Это здорово (´∀｀)♡

clap clap clap clap clap CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP *CLAP CLAP*

ゆかりさんが英語歌うとこんな感じなんだな〜 カッコイイ

Forever a bop

shoutout to this bop (boom?) for giving me the topic of my history final research essay

every time i come back to listen to this it's 6x as much of a bop as it was last time

Looks so cool in cinematic mode!

I adore the themes of this it’s super cool!!! I’m dead this is great, thank you for this

Wow, I really like that! I didn't even know of Perimeter system before, truly it's M.A.D. rule incarnate. A very interesting idea for a song, with a perfect result. I'm really glad I found this channel.

I swear i've had this on loop for so long it's the only thing playing in my head. This song is a pop!

I adore this so much?? It looks and sounds gorgeous.

A plane flew over my house as I got to the end, and I'm not gonna lie, it kinda spooked me!

Another cool song! :0 Прелестно, просто прелестно :3

I really love this character she's so pretty! Also I like this song it's nice

This is really late but I have a dumb theory, most of this is based off of the “greetings from the underworld” line, essentially they decided to take the girl when she was still human and built her into the system itself, integrating her body and mind into it somehow, maybe even used her image in some propaganda though of course no-one knew what actually happened to her, so now she is the core of this thing

This is really good!! The rhymes and diction you've chosen for this are really lovely and captivating -- and I know *I'd* be hard-pressed to find a compelling and melodious way to present the concept of a nuclear weapon control system! So good fucking job, you!!! :D

God I love this art style

The bass starting at 1:49 is the nuclear missiles blowing, right?

You improve with every track, wow. Especially how you made it a little louder with a clearer voice

All your songs are ultra earworms and all the art in your videos is BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait for the next song!

ＰＶとてもいいですよ！気に入ってます♪

This is still one of my favorite vocaloid songs.

i like a lot Yuzuki Yukaris Voice and i guess im fascinating how she sound in english

"my distorted image smiling at every corner" = "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls"????

О да, это то настоящее, которого я хочу! Компьютерный алгоритм готов стереть весь мир в труху, если это не смогут сделать его создатели; нейросеть поёт об этом песенку. Осталось только дойти до того, чтоб текст песенки был сгенерирован этой же (или другой) нейросетью. Что ж, это они уже умеют. И картинки тоже подготовлены какой-нибудь машиной. Да они и это могут! Получается, объединение нескольких машин уже способно с нуля сотворить новое произведение искусства! Это уже вплотную интеллект! Увы, до настоящего интеллекта не достаёт одной маленькой детали. Все эти машины, которые могли бы и сами написать песенку... не могу сами принять решение о том, что надо бы написать песенку. Ну, думаю, уже через считанные годы мы познакомимся и с таким творчеством :) P.S. Сделать весёлую песенку про систему автоматизированного ядерного апокалипсиса - отличная идея!

Was looking for Zelda Theories, found this was not disappointed.

this song is so cool! would love to see it on spotify :)

idk but this gave me Panda Hero energy

love your videos! great music with great videos and creative directions. :)

Did you draw the art in this? If so, its very cute. Soviet school uniform is the best

Ironic since I have a Cold War test tomorrow.

"The hindrance of Love" always makes me think of the song "Love Deterrence"

that moment when you see a Ferry song, listen to it once, listen to it again, break the replay button

Актуальненько

BANGER

Always knew that Yukari's Engrish one of the best

Oh my god, I really love this song. The beat is really good and the lyrics are enticing! It's really interesting how you dedicated this song to the Dead Hand system. I don't usually listen to vocaloid songs very much, but dang, this is definitely a great song! Planning to listen to this over and over for a month. Keep it up!

При словах: "Привет тебе из преисподней" мурашки пошли по телу ;З Спасибо за анимацию, она хоть в какой-то мере и лёгкая но вместе с песней смотрится просто восхитительно! Сам образ Главного персонажа очень понравился :з Ещё раз спасибо за такой клип, берёт за душу ^-^

your vids just get better and better like look at the still images then mr fox and the disheartened girl then FFP now this fuckin great one ontop of the gr8 music good job

i like how you drew yukari here. she looks good

Another of your songs that I could listen in loop for the rest of my days
