i stumbled upon japanese cooking videos on shorts and keep hearing this song. Finally searched it ☠ always thought it's just a fluffy cute song about eating at a restaurant lmao
@@hanabi_12038Yea, I would love to think it that way. It's not supposed to be dark. It's just a place that people have a chance to go before they move on to the after life. It did say that not many people got to go there and the restaurant is hard to find.
on the contrary I still see this as a warm song, like this is a restaurant who served the last meal for you to your last journey to the afterlife, so it's arranged in a shooting manner is just so that the soul go in peace.
I think it meant someone getting lost in a forest, finding an odd restaurant, having fed too much and sleeping on a full stomach, ending up dying in their sleep. Hence, the last stanza saying this is the last full course. Maybe that's a japanese culture, giving a feast to a dying person
Live life to the fullest. This resturant of life wont be found till tis your turn to be found. No need for planning or reservations its not a crowded place but we all get there by and by. Everything is on the menu , no need to wonder about choice because everything gets served bitter salty sour cold hot warm spicy bland but not sweet. While the music of life plays eat up and sleep for tomorrow is another day and the next and the next. We come with empty pockets but we get to taste everything. Not many of us appreciate the beauty of the full course of restaurant of life. We take those experiences and sensations to our grave. Thats all we actually take with us. So Eat up and enjoy the full course that the Restaurant of Life serves us for none of us know how long we are gonna be here. Thats what Ive understood as a non Japanese speaker😊😊😊 I think its a wonderful way to look at life❤
The last two lines may seem grim, but I see as the current restaurant owner paying respect to the now-dying founder by cooking them their last course before passing on. The “I’ll take this to your grave” could be a metaphor to the founder still experiencing their restaurant’s food even in the afterlife.
What I love about real true art is that it's like a Rorschach Test - it is open enough that everyone has a personal interpretation. (Including the original artist.)
Or the song is just a story about lost people who wander in a forest and gets eaten by wild animals. The singer is singing from the perspective of one of the (anthromorphized) animals.
In East Asian cultures, there's a saying on the line of "be a full ghost, not a starving ghost." It's kind of a sad song with warm tones. A restaurant that can only be found by the lost, with nothing in hand. That will feed said lost a feast as thier final meal.
This song simply means that the forest is so welcoming to those who are starving, weary, and battered. There's actually someone who mentioned that this song is based on German folklore. I guess so too. There was a time in their history wherein family relatives were lured to get lost in the forest since there was a great famine happening. And yeah, the house like the one depicted in this song is the one that kids were being told so that they would not resist. No magic mushrooms needed. (Also the acorn serving as pathmarkers, really made sense.)

@@Ask_me_to_go_and_study_pls basically someone gets lost in the woods, scavenges mushrooms since they are starving, the shrooms are toxic and hallucinogenic so the person hallucinates the cute little restaurant and such, and in the end dies from eating poison mushrooms
When I first heard of it, I thought it was a cute song, then when I saw the title, it gave off a bit of a red flag, but it didn't click on me, and yeah, reading the lyrics I got fooled once again, a cute song should have a bit of twist to it if it's in Japanese.
I'll be honest. I dont see how this is dark. The melody and the singing is so sweet. And even the last lines of the lyrics do not bother me. Think of it this way, no matter what happens one day you will have dinner for the very last time. It is an inescapable reality. Isnt it wonderful that your last meal was so delicious? For all you know your last meal could be in some Mc Donald, where youre eating mass produced burgers while the traffic blares their horns till you go deaf. The last meal is coming for all of us, i only hope mine is as wonderful as this
It's heartwarming, really. We're going to meet our end eventually. Wouldn't you want it to be this peaceful and calm? A warm belly full of good food and a nice final rest with a smile on your face?
i think its more like a place for the wandering spirits to have one last meal before they depart for the afterlife , implying the first line "even following the acorn you cant find this place" really means its not a place in the physical world
Came here from Japanese cooking reels. I have to say this is the most relaxing and beautiful horror Japanese song I've heard. The singer's voice is so relaxing I can just fall asleep listening to it. Its like killing wth sweetness. I thought it was a cute song which sounds like it could be in a Studio Ghibli movie. It could still be in a Ghibli movie but a tragic.
Why I stumbled upon this? Love the song, calming but that last part is exactly what my stepdad may soon face. In poor health not not eating as much anymore😞 I would like his journey to be like this and be remembered a great man!
The last line made me experience a feeling that I had long lost... it reminded me of the dark phase of my past... it was a feeling of losing something or someone... I choked on the last line of this song.

I thought this was a children's song about a kid eating at a small restaurant in the forest. He doesn't have money so the owner offered free food to him 😅
I like this tune it’s actually really relaxing and makes you feel like you’re in a Japanese garden and drinking a really good team and eating a delicious fruit sandwich
It’s talking about life.. how random and chaotic and beautiful it is… where every choice is recommended …untill the final meal comes, when you don’t have the time to eat the dessert any more.. and you have to take it to your grave..
Listening to this song somehow gave me a feeling that today's my last day on earth....I don't know why but just got that feeling deep down in my bones.
Heard this song from short cooking videos and found this thinking this is some wholesome japanese version of Ratatouille but noooo it's some dark stuff after reading the lyrics.
Never heard the full song though... But because of a start of the song with this soulful voice... I really thought it's a happy love song😂😂😂... But I feel really fresh listening to this one❤
