a long mesmerizer analysis and theory vid (because I was bored) 

something i haven't seen mentioned quite yet is miku's collar. it's right over left, which is typically used for dead people. combine that with the ring around her neck, hypnotized expression, and head tilt

And I noticed that when Teto gets scared, she covers it with a smile.

My theory for the confetti thing is that whoever is recording this is trying to hide Miku breaking and (maybe) Teto trying to signal for help(?)

1:28 - Teto also goes "Perhaps acting stupid and surrendering yourself is the optimal solution" whoch could be referencing on giving yourself up to someone else in hypnosis

I noticed the black collar on miku’s neck, this could hint that she took her own life. This is considering the fact the Tetó does not have that on her neck.

You also forgot how we’re already like getting hypnotized by Miku & Teto.. Left and right, like a coin. Like how MIKU got hypnotized..

Another part proving the “advertisement”/ “performance” theory is that one part at the end where they’re both standing with a green screen behind them, which signals that the background is fake

The eyes really do represent they're hope,and in the end where Miku becomes crazy,Teto lost all hope because of losing her friend.

My thought about teto... Okay, so yes, the screen swayed side to side like miku's but as you can tell, Teto didnt follow the swaying of the screen, instead she stayed still and blurred her eyes to avoid being hypnotised, and i thjnk the shut down part was cut off cause Teto's control of her body didnt get shut down unlike Miku's. And the parts where she asked for help WERE calls for help, tand also, when Miku went insane, teto stopped bobbing up and down for a few seconds, and Miku didnt even stop dancing when it was Teto's turn. And if you could tell. Miku was starting to dance off beat and didnt stop dsncing when the screen was covered. Little easter egg at the end, Teto actually got hypnotised as you can tell that her eyes went black, her sweat disappeared and she smiles.

This will probably be buried under all these comments, but I wanted to put it out there: The switch to a phone-sized FOV when the "hypnosis" happens could symbolize that they are being hypnotized by US--or, rather, the online attention that we give them. One of the interpretations of the story could then be that they are numbing their emotions of the every day depressing world by seeking social media attention(Miku going "insane" and overperforming for the camera+extra confetti could be like "selling out")

something i noticed phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide (the super long word in quiz time) is an enzyme found in humans that is essential for DNA synthesis and energy metabolism. i believe a deficiency of this enzyme can cause hearing loss - which could potentially explain why the audio faded out when teto was getting hypnotized (it could also just represent teto blocking out the hypnosis and trying to fight it but idk). also, teto being deaf/hard of hearing could explain why she knew sign language + morse code to begin with maybe probably just a stretch, but i definitely think that word has some sort of meaning considering how random it is

there us also a theory were people are saying teto is the one who brought miku into this and then she is also getting hypnotized, that's why she understands how hypnotize work and tries to fight back + the facial expression of "oh no what have i done" when miku was hypnotized and became crazy

1:43 teto was signing in ASL for “help”. 2:21 teto was blinking in morse code “sos” ( . . . _ _ _ . . . ). 2:43 these four quiz questions? the first letters spell “HELP” and the fourth (excluding hat) spell “SOS”. The last question was also some part of a human’s DNA, suggesting Teto is warning you Miku is not human? 2:48 teto was also signing for “save me” 2:53 Miku sways with the screen, while Teto doesn’t. Miku gets hypnotized. If you also didn’t notice, the clouds slow down/stop moving during Miku’s part. However, Teto resists for a long time, even blurring her eyes. She also blocks it out (hence the music stopping). The final words get cut off since she didn’t get hypnotized. 3:11 i forgot what the stars are called, however they have 13 points and represent immortality. 4:12 The confetti only started falling when Teto danced. The background slowly faded to black. 4:53 Teto is so shocked she stops bouncing for a bit. Miku also has a neck tilt and her tongue out, suggesting she hvng herself. Her arms also bend physically impossibly, and she does a move she hadn’t done before. Miku also keeps dancing during Teto’s part and gets off-beat during hers. She also dances when the stars come up. Also, Teto decides to stop resisting and becomes hypnotized, as seen at the end.

My theory is that due to reality being harsh, Miku and Teto "escapes" to somewhere better. In the first verse, Miku talks about how reality is just a bunch of fake emotions, and then Teto recommends escapism. However, Teto then says something like 'surrendering yourself is the best solution', which I think, is suicide, due to the world being so harsh. Maybe the hypnotise thingies are the desire to un-alive yourself, idk. In the 'shut down' part, Miku falls into the hypnosis, and following the lines of the theory, Miku gives in and has the desire to end it all. However, Teto doesn't give in just yet, maybe showing that she doesn't un-alive herself and she is going to stay with Miku. In the last chorus, before Miku goes crazy, Teto looks worried, maybe showing that she knows that Miku wants to k!ll herself and she's nervous. But, Miku still looks happy, because she knows that it will all end soon. When Miku finally goes crazy, you can see that her tongue is showing and her neck is unbalanced, showing that she finally ended it all (aka, un-alived herself) with a rope. She also has a choker, symbolising suicide. Teto looked scared from the first few seconds when Miku went crazy, maybe because Miku had k!lled herself. At the very last part, Teto also falls into the hypnosis, aka un-aliving herself, because she can't live without Miku and she wanted to join her. That's all! :D

You know you're in for something when *fiction* starts telling you to Kel yourself.

I thought there was something more about their outfits than just the color so I did some research and saw that scientific research claims that stripy patterns give the human brain a sense of distress and dizziness to the brain. Also stripes or lines that occur in your vision are from the amount of stress that you have. This can be taken in different ways like if we go with the actors theory, they personally have them wear stripy clothing to hypnotize them easier and especially get Miku so that she can be used to get Teto hyponotized also. It can also be said that if we look through the eyes of these two, miku has a lot more stress and she can see lines because of that stress a lot more on her blue clothing while teto doesn’t have as much stress but still sees it on her blue clothing, this can also be a long shot but the amount of stripes on their personal outfits could mean how often they hallucinate. Sorry for this long paragraph, I just was so excited that I could be somewhat smart once 😀.

Also, on the chorus before miku gets hypnotised, he movements already seem to be slurred. Like she's on the verge of being hypnotised. And also, her choker may represent sh/suicide. Speaking of suicide, her body looks dead too. Her skin is white, due to lack of oxygen. Same with here tongue. The slurred movements in her hypnotised state, could be her dead body being controlled by here soul, which most probably died due to well. Suicide.

My first impression of this song was "toxic friendships" because in my eyes, i was in a similar situation a while back. With me being miku and my other bestfriend who was in this friendship, as Teto. 1. In the friendship i was, and still am but just a bit less, swayed/manipulatable. 2. My other best friend (we'll call her Len), Len was the reasonable one. Being the one who ended the friendship for both of us, while I, being like Miku here, was already "mesmerized" by her (ex toxic friend, lets call her Kylie). 3. Len asked for help with her while i didn't. She told people abt the situation, i kept my mouth shut. 4. Continuing off if 3 while being a seperate point, i was very similar to Miku; Gullible, vulnerable, and easy to manipulate. To add more, i was being used for entertainment (with the whole show like theme of the a mv/song) and with being used as a servant(or in other words, a puppet.) in a way. (They also have 90's diner outfits. Waiter Miku and i think receptionist/front desk Teto?) 5. Roles. with miku being a waiter, shes commanded alot, Similar to myself. And Teto being a person who leads you 2 ur table, shes usually saying the commands. But, that doesn't mean she cant be commanded, similar to Len. Well, this is where im gonna end my rant! Bye :3

does anyone else realize the fact that they look like they work at a movie theatre or at a hotel?? idk it just kinda seems like that

The confetti represents their sanity, Less=sane More=insane

So, I notice that at the end (after Miku’s… episode,) Teto does stop bouncing for a while and also STAYS concerned throughout it. Miku is now ONLY DOING the “puppet-like” poses that she hasn’t done before! If you notice, her wrists are completely limp. I think those collars around her wrists are where the “puppet strings” go, controlling her. Also, Teto looks at her funny before her “shut down” because of the pose she did (at least I think). She gets genuinely kind of concerned for Miku, becuase the hypnosis hasn’t worked that strongly before. It’s super interesting how many details are in this short MV! :D

My theory about this song (based on other's observation and my thinking) is that it's also about depression (because some alinements), where Miku is depressed and Teto is like trying to help her out while trying not to follow on with what Miku's experiencing

Their outfits come from like certain jobs you see on TV (ehem ehem Back to the Future) like Miku wearing those maid outfits with rollerskates you see on those 90s bars and Teto wears the other maid outfits but with shoes so referencing that this is a show is possible.

1:50 teto says in her hand " help " and miku says " please " on her hands AH! YOU SCARED ME WITH THOSE LIKES

I also realized that they made Miku say the first phrase before entering the dance like "farewell" and before Miku broke And Teto the last it's like Teto is not the priority and indicating Teto is the first victim of the hypnotize

might be a bit of a stretch but i think girls' outfit design choices help push whatever narrative there is: miku's clothes seem like a stylized maid dress - as if she is a servant under someone's control; she has slightly more details n accessories - like a doll, a doll-like puppet*. plus, blue color is often associated with trust, like how miku easily trusted sugar coated words and has fallen to hypnosis rather quickly, or how she is a tool - a trustworthy looking character for others to get hypnotized by. teto, on the other hand, is dressed a bit less open - less trusting maybe, a bit more down-to-earth, structured n stoic (?), and like you pointed out, she's colored just like warning signs! *im liking the theory that this miku already took her own life, hence the black choker thingy - or her human psyche broke/shut down bad enough for her to become something of a soulless puppet of a human.. maybe before her human body got replaced by a puppet replica 😳but at this point im just making shxt up. aaand im leaning towards teto being actually hypnotized by the end of the mv, while it is a bit straightforward and boring, it would make sense for her to snap: she's been fighting hypnosis for a while it seems, crying for help for both of them and hoping to escape, only to see her... coworker? snap, behaving like a broken horror-lookin' puppet. i can see teto's psyche being broken by the end of this as well, succumbing to mindless hypnosis just to escape this horror of an existance. fits this whole song's escapism theme anyways, great analysis!! you pointed out many things i didn't notice or realize, super helpful

My thinking abt this vid…is that they were hired for doing this and when they are talking,they were talking abt hypnosis,and when before the dancing part,teto is doing the help ASL hand and miku is doing the please so it is “help please” when miku is dancing teto is doing the sos in morse code. And when its the quiz the first letter is HELP but the P is some kind of dna bc teto is warning us that miku is not human from later on and miku got hypnotized and teto realized it but can’t get any help,and at the last part we see teto giving up her last egde

i noticed that when miku is hypnotized and dancing, her neck is becoming thinner and thicker

I have my own theory if you care to read. The collar around Miku's neck is only exclusive to her, and it might even be an indirect sign that she could have self-harmed or killed herself by hanging. In the scene where she gets herself 'hypnotised' with her tongue out and black eyes, her collar gets removed and her neck has a purple/red shade instead of a darker version of her skin colour. Those are bruises, most likely a strain on the neck as a result of hanging. As the MV goes on, her skin gets paler and paler with every scene swap, and in the final scene where Miku and Teto are standing side by side, Miku is as pale as a ghost, and has a purple-y hue to her face (a symptom that everyone experiences when they die). I think in the beginning, before the hypnosis, Miku was alive, but she eventually killed herself because of how long she had to keep her emotions and thoughts at bay because of the ad's production. The collar that was on her since the beginning could indirectly represent a noose and her eventual decision of suicide. She was too pressured to be perfect for social media, so she ended up committing suicide, as stated in the first scene shown with Miku complaining about being trapped and needing an escape. Drawing your attention to her clothing, her outfit looks like something a maid or waitress would wear, so it could suggest that Miku she always listens to others' commands and wishes instead of acting independently (peer pressure on social media that caused her suicide). Miku's corpse was probably found over during the 10 days of the attempted hypnosis on Teto, so the producer had enough time to turn Miku's corpse into a puppet without Teto ever finding about Miku's death. Another detail is that Miku's clothing has cuffs with black buttons/holes on her wrists. Those buttons/holes could have been laced or threaded with something (like string) to make Miku a Corpse Puppet. You can also infer with the 'Maid outfit' that she is easily controlled by others _like a puppet_. Miku is still technically new to social media, so she will be more likely to be tricked by the people there, as she sees them as trustworthy because the media made her popular in the first place, whereas Teto isn’t exactly that popular and a lot of people forget about her, which is probably why she didn’t get hypnotised as easily as Miku did. Miku is wearing rollerskates, meaning she is more easy to trip and trick than Teto, who wears normal shoes. In the scene where Miku 'loses her mind', her collar gets removed for a few frames due to an unknown reason (which I assume to be the puppet stings moving Miku's corpse around), and those are the frames where Miku does a new pose, while her mouth goes wide open and her eyes dilate (sign of being hung) so I think that the collar was keeping her mouth closed and her neck stable. After the colour was ripped off, the producer probably scrambled to put the collar on Miku as she ripped it off, not being able to secure it back on properly (which explains the unnatural movements or thickening and thinning in her neck, and also why her mouth is wide open). A hanged person's neck isn't stable enough to hold itself together, which is why her neck thickens and thins over the course of her mindless, offbeat dance with Teto. Teto clearly didn't know about Miku's death, considering her genuine shock/horror at the reveal and over the course of the song. She only found out about Miku's death as the collar was removed. The producer (who probably put the collar back on) didn't have enough time to fix Miku's mouth back in place, so they instead decided to use an excessive amount of confetti so the camera couldn't focus on how dead Miku looked. Miku's arm bends backwards a few times with no wince or reaction of pain. Her eyes don't blink which shows how lifeless she actually is. The deseased can't blink due to having their brain (and muscles) inactive. Think about it, if you were a producer and one of your MC's just hung themselves whilst in the middle of making the ad of escapism, you would try to hide their death, especially because some people view peer pressure on social media as something against escapism (the main plot of the ad).

This song is just so good and full of interesting details that it seems no matter how many analysis I watch, there’ll still be more to notice. It almost feels like everyone’s collaborating to fully understand it and I personally find that very interesting. Thanks for making your own analysis!

Alternate interpretation of "you're made for this era" line: さらば！ saraba! Farewell! こんな時代に誂えた konna jidai ni asuraeta The vulneravilities of the 見て呉れの脆弱性 mitekure no kijakusei outward appearance tailored to you in this age

7:44 seems like she’s motioning her arms in a “KEEP OUT/DON’T COME CLOSER/STAY AWAY” motion This ties well with her facial expression of panic The overlapping of her can also mean that she’s in an edited production, and it could be that she’s overlapping on command (she can do it voluntarily) making herself all the more attention calling like one of these : ⚠️‼️. If anything, you may be more familiar with the ⚠️ with a red exclamation mark, matching her colors, but since red (red and exclamation mark) usually marks danger, that could be why she wears more red than yellow. Her body motions and expressions, her overlapping on command, and colors may be her doing her best to warn you away and be as flashy as she can The overlapping could be an ability she can do very scarcely as we don’t see it often

6:33 - It says mesmerizer in katakana

One thing i though is that the "escape" from reality that miku and teto is promoting is actually the hypnotization that miku surrendered(??) at the end This combines even more with the "acting" and the "comercial" thing that he showed us

1:36 teto is asking for help with the gesture.

I think that miku and teto are actors for like a kids show or something (the outfits, the confetti, the random green screen, the quiz, etc) and the person recording is trying to hypnotize them into making more and more episodes for more and more money. It seems like miku is oblivious to it all, while teto tries to get help from the audience with the quiz thing, the ASL, and the Morse code blinking. The star things may not represent literal immortality but that they’ll never be able to escape, just like an immortal person will never be able to die. The white straps and the puppet like dance moves are like she’s a puppet to whatever company is making the show. Very realistic to how actors are treated now and days, to be honest.

4:27 miku looks like that cause if you hang yourself on something you're tounge sticks outs and you will have a broken and dislocated neck

For the "Prostituting your wounds" lyrics, I think it would be connected to some sort of self harm? Cuz the previous lyrics talk about feelings. If you over think it, eventually you'll connect feelings with mental health issues and some people with those issues tend to harm themselves. prostituting means *check on google cuz I'm not mentioning it* So lets say the *😀❤️😀* as in the feelings and the money as the hypnosis thingy that's mentioned later on. Money can make a person feel happier because well, obvious reasons. But once they run out, they're back to the usual gloom. Giving/throwing away your feelings, or not caring about your wounds in exchange of temporary happiness which COULD indicate that if the hypnosis takes over, you'll be oblivious to your actual feelings. But there's a way to get rid of the hypnosis too. Idrk tho I'm bad at theories (Stupid and makes no sense, Ik. Don't come after me tho, there's been cases 😭✋)

My thought:could be in the beginning, miku entering some "company"to become idol(that why she easily fall in hypnosis), while teto had to work due because pay for ear treatment or hearing aid(that explains why teto knew sign language).maybe the company doing the hypnosis so miku and teto keep working and leaves positive review to avoid company reputation damage, however due because teto has hearing problem making hypnosis taking numerous day(perhaps the hypnosis is fail) . In the end teto fall in despair seeing miku became insane or unstable

Bits you may have missed! 1) look at Teto when Miku is dancing in the first bit, she will blink like this: …,~~~,…(morse code) Translation: SOS. Could this be the second cry for help from Teto? 2) Look closely at the quiz: Hat EraSer LemOn PhoSphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarbo 1st letter: H-E-L-P 4th letter: _-S-O-S What it says: HELP, SOS(SAVE OUR SOULS) Is this the third cry for help by Teto? 3)Look where someone tried hypnotise them: Miku got hypnotised in 1 day. However,you can see Teto fighting the hypnotism for many days. In total she fought it off for around 10 days. 4)Look when Teto dances after the hypnotism attempt: When she dances, the background colour(color) turns slightly darker each time. 5) At the end of the animation, look at Teto’s eyes: They have turned black and her creeped-out facial espression turned to a smile. This signalises she has lost the hope and faith to carry on fighting and has been hypnotised. EN) I know they have mentioned this in the theory, but. Check it out on the real animation, you’ll see it clearer(hopefully) Those trideshapes represent immortality if I am correct.

Tero in the song be like:😭😭😭👃🦻🦶👂🦵🫸✊✋✋👍🤟🤟🤘🤚 help help

The stars at the start represent "immortality" idk about the others tho- The thingy where tetos hand is on a thumbs up and on her other hand is a sign of SOS. She was blinking useing Sign Language to ask for help, . . . - - - . . . To be exact. She did the help sign at quiz time and the first initial of every answer in the quiz spells help. Dont forget she was hypnotized at the end!!

This is the most comprehensive analysis I've seen. Well done. I have noticed something myself that wasn't mentioned: I think Miku closes her eyes in the second chorus in order to conceal what's lurking below I've also heard that the vertical arrangement of both of them could represent the short form content that's ever so common now, you can see people spend hours on those videos in a scrolling loop, thus being in a "bot-like cycle" and hypnotized

In twitter, 32kai and Channelcastation (I don't remember too well their names) made a bunch of tweets about the song, one of those being that the animation didn't fully reflect the intentions of the song because 32kai didn't fully explain it too well to channel (if I remember correctly, he said it was on purpose) Just as a fun fact, take what I said with a grain of salt because those tweets were made some days ago, but they are still up

Ok,so i watch the original mv and i notice this. If you focus at that shape when its spin and dont blink you get dizzy but can get it away by wipe you're face tho you will get the move when miku get hypnotis and blurry vision but,if you do what miku/teto tell you at the end to focus and not blink until the end you will see the shape be 2 part that will go to teto and miku. Maybe it depens but i see there a almost transparant and thick one,the transparant is going to miku whict may repensent that miku is ez to be control fully by whoever that is, as the thick one get to teto whict repersent that teto is stil hard to be control. That its i dont recomed to try what i try but if you wanna try just becarefull. Edit: i got dizzy from early in the morning until evening from try this yesterday.again becarefull this may not safe😢

1:43 teto actually is doing a help sign there and miku the please sign .so it is "help please"

1:46 did anyone notice that Miku’s eyes slightly move back and forth?

Girl tysm for that! your point of view is wise and you told me the whole thing on a way that now i understand all of it! and congrats to the creator that worked on each detail and the puzzles

Nice analysis. 32ki was onto something in this song 👍

A thing I'd like to point out is their outfits. Something about them looks like they're workers in some sort of amusement park. But they're not just workers, they're the mascots. My theory is that they seek escapism by playing these whimsical characters in a whimsical amusement park that provides escapism for the people that visit. I'm still not entirely sure how this could tie into the theme of hypnosis tho, maybe they haven't been performing well due to all that stress never getting resolved and the company that owns said amusement park hypnotises them to play their roles more accurately?

7:44 this could mean that this is teto glitching and her calls for help because she's also crying

When Miku was hypnotised her Neck was actually getting thinner.

At 0:35 of the song Miku and Teto are on the opposite sides, with Teto saying 'help' in sign language and Miku was doing this: 🙏 which basically means theyre saying 'Help please' Also at 1;19 of the song, during Teto's part, the song in the background is muffled/silenced, like Teto's blocking out the song so she wouldn't get hypnotized(?) And at 2;00 til 2:02 of the mv, you can see Teto looking at us then at Miku b4 she snaps(or smth) like she knew something was gonna happen And the confetti thing, maybe it means that more confetti means harder to focus/resist which results in Teto giving into the hypnosis thingy at the end of the song The circle in the middle is a 13 pointed star known as a tridecagram and is basically a symbol 4 immortality(idk what that means though)

1:32 Teto is giving a sign of help with his hands. Just to let u know if u haven’t)- 1:57 here Teto is blinking S-O-S in Morse code

i’m adding on that the confetti in the mv was used to try to hide teto’s hypnotism at the very end perhaps(?) the confetti was also probably added as the editor’s choice(?)

Also take notice that a part when miku dances right before her hypnosis her limbs are bent in humanly. And teto was probably calling for help because she knew about the hypnosis in the beginning.

I’m all ready hypnotized! I can’t stop watching the original 😭😭😭❤

7:45 Teto is in that pose, and it looks like she's going to trip This could be her trying to tell us about Miku getting hypnotized BTW I'm not sure if this is correct

People tend to like the tune and melody more making them think its happy, but the lyrics arent happy at all. Its like “escaping” reality. The tune, melody, vibe and look are most likely that people think its happy. This way, it also makes us think its all happy! And only the ones who understand the lyrics know its not happy. Just like Miku’s Hypnotization. Also, this video is also kinda a key to find out what its all about. (Uncovering the true meaning). Its the same as “Sad Lyrics, Happy Melody” probably. Sometimes it makes you vibe to the song.

More input: i heard when you put miku teto and the suns colors together u get black... I think

I'm definitely overthinking this, but something else for the thumbnail: If you were to put all three elements in a line, with Teto at the front, then the trideshape, with Mike at the back, Teto would see us/the audience (the people she was trying to warn to prevent them from getting hypnotised), but Miku would just see the trideshape because she's already been consumed by it.

Theory about this - Teto - Represented theory could be a clue of help *colors of the video makes sense* as u see the primary colors are blue red and yellow *the main colors* it means theres a another trick to the hypoisnisim *correct my grammar* which means *focus the main source* means the color are the main subject on this vid *so what does the color mean?* Blue - Stable mainpulation *sadness* red and yellow meant *times we have to be always alramed* i always notice the layout is red and yellow means its a warning but sometimes its blue but in the beginning there were purple green and pink orange stars means the confetti if u don't know the colour meanings or their emotions here pink - cheerful green - be prepared orange - anxious purple - fear meant if pink was first to come out it after yellow red and blue and maybe it may be the parts of the music video *pink and blue - happy *first* red and yellow and green *always be warned* and orange and purple - fear *the end of the music video* how many parts were teto was saying help prob 8 parts but there was a part were miku was saying help but i forgot what's the part *parts about fake charisma* this is kinda releated to a oshi no ko event in the anime about *lie lie charisma* means ur lying about ur true self about the advertisment theory it meant that teto and miku were meant to be saying the actual script but miku had lost it so much that she thought faking her real emotions *but that is a mental health problem* about their eyes going to circle and diamond and circle again means *circle means good diamond means warning* so here :3

at the star part thingy, teto is doing a sign for help with her hands.

one thing I noticed is the fact that they're in these boxes like how social media presents videos to you. So maybe not a show, but an advertisement on a social media app since a lot of people use that for escapism

8:01 at that part , you can realize that's the sign of help but she isn't just asking to save her, she is also asking to save *miku* . Apparently miku can get hypnotized easily while teto is harder to hypnotize, I don't know if teto is a talkloid or a vocaloid. The confetti also distracts you from teto's help/sos signs.

Pretty sure the diamond eyes just symbolize enthusiasm, nothing else.

Their eyes going black may be like them losing their emotion due to the hypnosis , also Tetos eye whites get smaller after the hypnosis,

I feel like Teto tripping might connect to how you said she has shoes instead of rollerskates, like she's been tripped multiple times and people and tried to manipulate her but she fought back and was able to stay herself

imo when the green screen part, i think it's a meaning like hypnotization? (like doing whatever the person wants you to do, like how we move characters with green screen however we want w/o restrictions)

Something I also noticed throughout the song is that teto looks to be getting tired and like exhausted before giving in to the hypnotism

Also the chlothes are worn from employees in for example restourantes. Some people having to work at a 9 to 5 job, even if its unrewarding. Becouse of that they think life is a waiste of time and them wanting to escape the bot like circle of everyday witch could also lead into Depression and loss of hope. Just a theory

TW: MY THEORY, MENTIONS OF SH, SUICIDE, AND DEPRESSION! my honest theory is when u mentioned them being actors, miku and teto are getting controlled and being forced in a way that miku becomes depressed and is always pushed to be perfect (like what happens irl, ppl get pushed too much to the point they commit suicide) and when teto tried to "advertise" this to miku, its like a sign of doing drugs/drinking? and the getting hypnotized part, is the getting pushed too much to the limit to the point youre getting starved, getting plastic surgery(their pupils changing shapes), etc. and when miku gets hypnotized, like i said before, her neck gets thin, i think it means that miku committed suicide? while teto is actually going through depression too and is trying to fight the urge to get "hypnotized"(drugs/drinking/suicide) but in the end she gives up. the confetti thing is like trying to cover up and pretending to be all colorful and happy but in the inside theyre actually suffering. another thing is that when miku gets hypnotized, her neck gets really really slim in every move and her joints are like bent in a strange way, also the way miku wears a collar is like a sign that she hung herself. idk this is just a theory. and for the help signs that were made by teto, i think its like a sign of asking for therapy for the both of them? trying to escape depression by "hypnotizing" (drugs, drinking, pills, etc.) themselves. but when teto realized that it was a bad thing and tried to stop miku, she gets a bit too obsessed with it.

My suggestion/ theory is.. : When miku is facing us at her hypnotize part, i think its bcuz she is reacting / face to the circle sharp spinning thingy, bcuz what else couls make ppl get hypnotizes.. and teto are not really focus or facing through the circle sharp spinning thingy, bcuz she might said smth to make her focus in her mind she didnt facing anything that time i think

I have a little bit to add on. The background starts to blur when Miku gets mesmerized because when you look at a watch or a necklace swing around your vision gets blurry. The only thing that doesn’t get blurry is something close, that’s why we only saw Miku instead of the whole screen getting blurred. The reason Teto’s doesn’t blur is because she tries to fight it. Every day she tries to fight it, but she quit at the end. Also, if you stare where it says to focus your vision also starts to blur a bit. This video is meant to hypnotize you, to experience what happened to Miku and Teto. That’s all

Something I noticed is how in the end part when we can clearly see Miku is hypnotized, Her neck goes from thick to thin which is very abnormal.

1:30 help in sign language 👍 🫴 2:49 "help" sign. pay attention to teto's hand (left hand from her perspective) the sign for help with your hand is usaully this. 1. put your thumb on your hand. 2. with your other fingers, trap your thumb and release it two times. also, the quiz, look at the words. Hat EraSer LemOn PhoSophoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarbo (some type of human dna, maybe teto is telling us miku is not human?) look at the first letter of the words. its spelling out "HELP" now every fourth letter of the words, excluding hat. its spelling out "SOS" 2:55 these lyrics are weird.... yeah you already know shes uhhh getting hypnotized. teto, on the other hand was resisting for a long time. 4:25 teto is suprised. teto looks at the viewer with the face that says "help, please save me" when you hang yourself, usually your tounge sticks out and your head is tilted. miku goes offbeat for a sec. 0:33 right over left on her shirt is usaully associated with dead people, signalizing shes already dead..?

What I think is that Teto and Miku were hired by a company to do a commercial but the company likes the actors and decided they want they to preform more so they hypnotize they to stay and do more. Teto knows what’s going on tries to get help from the audience but Miku does not know what’s going on and thinks it’s a normal commercial which is why Miku doesn’t resist when they hypnotize her cause she thinks it’s all part of the show.

Short Version: The Circle Of Japanese translates to "mesmerizer" I don't know if anyone has done it yet but I tried translating the circle thing with the Japanese text (featured near the beginning of the music video part) The text is in katakana (Japanese character type) and it says メズマライザー/mezumaraiza- repeated four times in a circle which translates to mesmerizer. It isn't much and was excepted from the parts good translate did detect but it moves it out of the way I guess.

1:35 here it shows Teto making a hand gesture which means *"help"* 2:48 and over here she (Teto) uses her hand as another signal for help Also the the first letters of the words in the quiz spell "HELP" Great detailing :)

Miku's neck gets more smaller and smaller when she is already hypnotized

heres all the things that i understand!! (in order)| the stars represent immortality miku and teto were actually talking abt depression and escaping hypnotization teto was doing a help hand gesture teto was saying sos in morse code by blinking (. . . - - - . . .) the quiz spells out " H E L P" teto did the american help sign notice how miku was moving along the camera? that means miku was being hypnotized+the lyrics were litreally talking abt it teto was trying to resist and ended up standing completly still+ the background was getting faster which means she was resisting for days the green screen means that everything is fake the focus thing became a hypnotization video, which means that they were inviting us to get hypnotized miku looks like she is being hanged, when you hang yourself your neck becomes broken, and mikus neck is sideways, your tounge sticks out when your hanged, and her pupils dialated, that happenens in death, miku has also lost her mind, she doesnt stop dancing in tetos turn miku didn't stop dancing tetos dancing is slightly offbeat execsessive confetti teto gets hypnotized at the end

1:49 is when teto does a thumbs up with an hand under it It is an call for help Many people seeing it normal Bc of the thumbs up

I think the thing about Miku's rollerskates isn't that deep. She wears it because she's a waitress/server judging from her outfit. While Teto is like a manager or something idk the position name

also guys the 4 point star (in the eyes at the start) represents like hope and truth, so their eyes turning to ovals could represent like how they slowly lose hope and their sense of reality and truth

I noticed that in the part 5:55, Miku was moving in the same directions that in cartoons how they hypnotize other characters. That is why Teto wasn't moving when it was her turn. The song also became muffled because she wasn't moving while she was supposed to. I also noticed that Teto and Miku were doing hand signals showing Help Please SOS! Thanks for reading!!

Maybe they are just an actor but the producers are hypnotizing them like for fame and keeping them as puppets

my theory about the tridecagram (immortality shape) represents how in the mesmerizer world, you don’t have to worry about problems in life such as aging and inevitably dying

I think someone alr mentioned this but during miku's transformation, her neck changes sizes during her dance, sometimes really thin and sometimes thicker. Just thought it was worth mentioning lol :)

when Teto was doing the ASL for help, Miku was doing the ASL for please, so it's "Help please" but most people just ignore miku's hand position in that part

When miku gets hypnotized, teto stop bouncing at a moment

I just realized that miku when she got hypnotized doesnt have the pink blush anymore.

Don’t know if anyone noticed but yeah we saw the collar, the neck also got thinner as well which is abnormal to the human body. According to somewhere on google, it states “Over time, repetitive movements thicken the muscles. And then your neck loses fat and the skin thins out.”. This could be referencing to Mikus fast a repetitive dancing as she doesn’t stop.

My theory about the confetti when miku was hypnotized she lost her mind and didn't stop dancing on tetos part

maybe the "your extra lives disappear so fast 'cause your durability is down" part might be a nod to what teto's outfit means or smn. you said that blue might mean hypnosis and all, but teto is trying to stop it with her own mental fortitude (red) but failing, since the blue isn't fully covered up

Another thing about Teto's resistance part, the background changes from night to day 10 times for each, most likely meaning that Teto was holding on for TEN DAYS to not get hypnotized.

have you seen the theory that it's about the idol industry yet? it's pretty cool :D

What she means by the safety zone is shrinking is that more people are getting hipnotized the same way she is or she is slowly getting hipnotized but not saying it all the way

For my interpretation for 8:25 is that They're mostly are being hypnotized, since Miku had been hypnotized before this happened.. Miku basically came back from the hypnosis for a bit before she got hypnotized. For Teto, I believe she felt sick or wanted to puke hence she covered her mouth while showing discomfort. Following that, I theorized that Teto is aware that Miku is hypnotized as she resisted as much as she could.

1:53 look close ly at this part and focus at te to, you see, if you look closely teto is blinking this “. . . _ _ _ . . .” Which it means SOS or help, and the quiz part too, teto is making a hand signature, look closely to her hands! Hope this will help you out!

some things: teto used signs in some parts of the vid trying to ask the viewer for help what sos means: save our souls teto is maybe warning us that miku isnt human anymore teto tried to ignore the music to not get hypnotised at the end teto got hypnotised teto resisted the hypnosis for 10 days if u count when teto is standing and it turns day and night very fast miku mightve hung herself cuz when she gets hyponotised her neck is more thin in the end part when theres a lot of confetti maybe the creator of the animation is trying to hide some things the music might actually be trying to make you stress out more including the animation cuz i got stressed out by the animation and music the video and music might be trying to hypnotise you (idk) my theory abt the vid rq before more things: teto and miku might actually be in a fake world and the world is trying to trick people and teto and miku back to somethings: tetos eyes slowly get darker more the video goes on teto may be very stressed about what was going on with miku and her surroundings at the end when miku is hypnotised when its tetos turn miku dances still and mikus dances are off beat end i got the info from thus vid and other vids abt memerizer and this may continue soon!
