Crusher ft. Hatsune Miku - Propaganda! 

Lyricagandas: Early in the morning, before the sun could rise, Keeping to myself almost felt like a disguise, I couldn't be the one to tell you what was off that day, Opening my mouth is The Most Dangerous Game Once upon a time, I never knew fear like this, I can't remember how it happened, or why it did, Developing an obsession to open closed doors, Gave me a compulsive need to find out even more, And off we go to play telephone, Sharing what we know But how long can we keep playing Until the game Undermines the status quo It's all Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! I have a feeling I'm not alone (Not Alone) Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Don't believe anything you see, or hear Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! I can't be the only one who knows (The only...) Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! If we could go back, back then When it was easier They say ignorance is bliss Why did I pick up the phone? When it was easier I should've stayed oblivious Falling down the rabbit hole and running out of time, Hoping noone notices my thoughts are out of line, I know they know we know that something isn't right, After this my life eclipsed: fear day and night, A call to action, call for passion, call for something more, for war "If you're not with us, you're against us" But I don't like the odds, the score Call me complicit, Give me a minute, Let me decide, it's my own life, I'm not about to pretend these people are close to being my friends Can I do it? (I can run) I could do it (I could run) Should I do it? (I should run) I should do it (I should run) And so I ran, As fast as I could, Through the ocean of trees, Through the sting of the breeze, And so I ran, I ran for my life, And I ran for a dream, For whatever that means, Every thought is sabotage, What a fool I am To keep playing and playing Game after game, No-! Losing game after losing game It's all Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! It's all Propaganda! Prop-Propaganda! I have a feeling I'm not alone (Not Alone) It's Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Don't believe anything you see, or hear it's Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! I can't be the only one who knows Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda! Propaganda! Prop-propaganda!

"For legal reasons, this song is fiction." - The disclaimer

“If you’re not with us You’re against us” Only a sith deals in absolutes.

as someone with clinical psychosis, i live with paranoia every day of my life. i often feel like no one could listen or understand since i don't even know what i'm scared of myself. this song is a REALLY good depiction of what being paranoid just about 24/7 is like and it feels pretty refreshing in a way. i love this song!

Miku: "H-.... hello? Voice on the phone: "...... is this the krusty crab?"

"You Are Not Immune To Propaganda" - Hatsune Miku, 2019

I know this song probably isn't about miku escaping a cult she was raised in but I'd like to think it is

Ok, so this might be a bit off topic, but it reminds me of a story my aunt told me. When she was a student, Poland (where we are from) was under communist regime and the phones were often under surveillance. So one day, the police (well, equvalent of it, anyway) got informed that university students are talking between themselves on the phones and are making plans for something to happen at 9 p.m. There was suspicion that they are preparing a demonstration and officers were sent to the place that was mentioned in the phone calls. When they got there, one of the windows of the nearby building opened, and a polish song "Umówiłem się z nią na dziewiątą" (I planned to have a date with her at 9) played. So, basically, I don't have much to say but have a story about how my aunt's friends pranked the communist authorities in Poland circa 40 years ago.

When a Vocaloid song starts with a disclaimer you *know* it's gonna slap

HEY IF YOU JUST WANTED MY WIG YOU COULD OF JUST ASKED

What I got from this song: The girl lives in a world which has secrets covered up by some sort of organization. It could be government, military, cult, etc. She was called on the telephone, informed of all these terrible secrets by (presumably) an opposing organization. It could be one person or many. She looked into these things, trying to find out if they were true (hence the line "an obsession to open closed doors") and she noticed people were acting strange around her, suspicious and wrong. She realised that they were starting to figure out she was against them. The girls in a circle could be part of the organization, taunting her with their innocence. I was quite interested in the part where the 'leader' or military style dressed singer said that it's a "call to action" and "for something more" hinting that this could be part of some war being planned or a massive invasion. This could also mean that they called her to RECRUIT her, the girl is terrified and the recruitment team now knows that she is aware of them and needs to be silenced. So, two theories. 1) She was a victim of a random conspiracy call. She was given this information by random. Maybe the caller was trying to throw their own scent off or something was happening and they needed to pass their cause/knowledge onto someone else. 2) She was called as part of a recruitment program from some sort of organization, planning to start and war. She was horrified and refused. They are now attempting to silence her and her paranoia is making her see everyone as suspicious and dangerous. Who knows. I wonder if I'm close LOL.

I love how you reveal the secondary interpretations behind the lines: "It's all propaganda," "I have a feeling I'm not alone," and "Don't believe anything you see, or hear" when you put the authority figure behind Miku. It's as though other individuals are telling her that the government as proposed here, is spewing misinformation in the first half of the song and the authorities are accusing the individuals of the same in the second half of the song. Beautifully done Crusher-P.

no one: the lyrics: *vibrating aggresively*

For me my notification just said “crusher-p uploaded propaganda” And I don’t know why but I just think it’s funny

it's so strange to me to see nobody besides me in the comments relating to this song in the literal sense... I'm glad that all of you are safe, it's good to know it's not as bad in most of the world, that things are not so bad for most people. stay happy and healthy and I wish you all the best, genuinely

I like how the rhythm tripped a bit at 2:23 as if the girl ran, stumbled over something in the way but kept running.

Just realized this was made in MS Paint *Salutes*

You know one thing I just noticed that I really like? The other girls are all dressed the same as Miku, but their shirts are tucked in and her isn't. It's really small and subtle but it's cool

As someone who is, to put it bluntly, leading a double life rn to escape an abusive parent, yeah this song really puts the paranoia of maintaining those lies into words holy shit

1984: exists CrusherP: okay but what if I was vocaloid

"Oh a new song by Crusher nice!" *Part 1 of 3* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*ring ring* Hello? There's someone in my house! "...No I'm not"

Person 1 - how are babies made? Person 2 - *actually explains it to them* “I should’ve stay oblivious”

"hoping no-one notices my thoughts are out of line" me desperately trying to stay closeted to my parents lmao

Propaganda has hit 100k views already... thank you so so much i am incredibly grateful for each of you who have taken the time to listen to my song

Im amazed not just by the song but the whole video animations

*Ring* *Ring* "Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night."

The irony of the disclaimer only reinforcing the validity of this statement.

*In another world* *telephone rings* *picks up* Miku:are you talking shit about me? *puts the phone down*

This gives me such 1984 vibes and honestly I’m so in love.

*2020 has entered the chat.*

who else is with me still waiting for part 2 in 2024

Me:"I think i will go to sleep now" Crusher-P: *uploads new video* Me: "Ah shit, here we go again"

A series by Crusher-Queen? My wish is fulfilled

This aged terrifyingly well in Russia.

english teachers should simply assign this song instead of george orwell’s 1984

**Hatsune Miku running** Propaganda : Why r u runnin? Edit : OMG ! I never had so much likes in my whole life 🙌

Anyone else getting a......... Ｂｉｇ Ｂｒｏｔｈｅｒ kind of vibe from this?

No one is immune to propaganda

Its been three years but I still think this song is about crippling paranoia/schizophrenia Imo “Once upon a time I never knew fear like this, I don’t remember how it happened or why it did” is what sold it for me. A lot of mental illness is like that, and as a result, that line hit HARD. This song is so good.

At 2:57 it sounds like "but how long can we keep playing" but the lyrics read "to keep playing and playing"

“This song is a work of fiction not meant to portray and parallels to reality.” Me: *are you sure about that* Edit: *stereotypical thx for the likes edit*

More relevant now than ever, this needs a boost! 😁

こんなに英語がはっきり聞こえて抑揚のあるボカロも珍しいよね、最高です！ そしてサビが中毒性アリ……

This song describes life in Russia at the moment....... Just noticed birch trees. Significant af.

miku: singing about a facistic government or w/e me: ok but im groovin tho

I've been waiting 4 years for the second part of this masterpiece. I NEED TO KNOW THE END OF THE GAME.

2:57 "but how long can we keep playing" Subtitles: to keep playing and playing Hmm... suspicious...

The way the words shake and move is absolutely amazing!

NASA: *uploads video of earth* Flat earthers:

This aged well.

I want this song on spotify I like this song yees

ECHOとかAgainとかもだけど 曲名を何回もリピートするの好こ

I asked my Russian friend how they where they sent me this it got a chill down my spine

EDIT: quick disclaimer: I know that this is a 3 part story, I just wanted to pitch in with something small. The story might come together with the rest of the songs, but I felt inspired to theorize with this song instantly. EDIT 2: thanks to crusher-p for giving this a heart! super cool to see that you read this :) EDIT 3: i've revisited the song a few times and this has always been in my mind, but take note to the backing vocals throughout the song. not only is the visual we're given clearly or at least hinted towards rin kagamine, but her backing vocals are there throughout the entire song, almost as if mocking miku for her story. it seems that way to me at least, either rin is mocking miku's story/perspective or perhaps she's been watching miku all along. This song is really creative, so I took some time to come up with a possible theory. The name of the song in and of itself is "propaganda", attempting to make Miku seem like a paranoid lunatic spouting random conspiracy theories. Seeing how Miku's character was designed in this mv, we see how paranoid she looks and many times she repeats the word "fear". This may be both to portray her genuine fear and paranoia, but I believe it contributes more to the suggested idea that Miku is just a lunatic who's spouting conspiracy theories. I believe she works/worked at a low-level facility that takes much bigger part in some sort of scheme. If you're familiar with the SCP foundation this might make more sense. There are low-level lackeys and office workers that work in offices/labs for the SCP foundation that have no idea about the dangerrs being locked away at other facilities in more dangerous and obscure locations. My theory is that Miku works at a place similar to a low-level facility for something possibly similar to the SCP foundation, either as a simple secretary or as a regular office worker. She must have found out more and more as time went on, either from misplaced files or eavesdropping. An alternative to this theory is that the "phone" Miku picked up was a phone call she didn't mean to take. She may be a secretary for an office (my reasoning for the office-working theme is her outfit and the outfits of the other females at the beginning of the mv) and perhaps she listened in on a call her authorities were having (and was caught, since old time wire phones sometimes show that there's a second phone connected to the line), or maybe she was supposed to redirect the caller to her higher ups, but didn't, because her curiosity got the better of herself. Eventually she realized how deep she was in the mess and decided to "run". This may not be literal, but because we're given the imagery of the trees, maybe she was discovered snooping or gave herself away accidentally, and when her higher ups attempted to capture her (either to erase her memory or silence her permanently/otherwise) she ran from the facility. A lot of these SCP facilities are believed to be kept in secret locations, so an "ocean of trees" makes perfect sense. The general facility may be located in a forest of trees that Miku never gave much attention to until she realized what was happening at the facility. I tried to focus this theory less on the general conspiracy theory shtick most theories have when it comes to being paranoid and fearful of believing things told to them by authorities. If you have anything to add or agree with this, feel free to reply and add on to it!

ECHO: im Crusher-P Most Catchy Song Yet! Propaganda: Hold my Propaganda.

I've had the "so I ran" bit in my head for ages, and I just remembered the name of this song. I'm so glad I found it.

Приехали.

This is why you shouldn't stalk every crypton or piapro post about miku The song version

for real though you killed it with this song and the pv is amazing good job to everyone involved and i am so proud of you always cien

Актуальная песня, как никогда раньше.

This song so relevant now, ya know? 🇺🇦

New bobblehead Miku and emperor Rin toys coming soon! But seriously,this song is so good!

すごい…ミクちゃんの声綺麗だ… 相変わらず曲調が素晴らしい

As someone who has really bad anxiety, I understand the characters paranoia. I used to have really bad episodes of paranoia. I covered my cameras on my computer and phone, constantly checked if any microphones were on, and I even covered my window with foil and I turned off all location services on my phone. I even refused to answer any phone calls unless it was from my parents. I slept with long scissors every night and locked everything I could. Heck, I even carefully listened to any voicemail I got. Same thing with emails. I still have some of these episodes but they aren’t nearly as bad.

Usually I don't particularly like non-Japanese vocaloid, but this is gold and some of the lyrics are so incredibly relevant. Where tf do I find the other two parts tho

Like lots of people, I first discovered your work with "Echo" a long time ago, back when Vocaloid was really famous. I want to say that I admire your dedication and the more you create, the more I'm in awe. One of your toughest song : "Would you rather be" really resonated with me. Thank you for your amazing work and for giving us hope :)

is it just me or does 2:57 sound like it doesnt match with the lyrics on screen.. edit: sounds like "but how long can we keep playing" but the official lyrics say "to keep playing and playing" im so confused

歌詞もだけど曲調とかイントロとか全てが好きすぎる。神曲

This song hits so different now 🇺🇦

Nobody: Not a single soul: Notifications:Crusher P uploaded Propaganda

0:34 This part reminded me SO much of "kagome kagome" :'D

This song is about a British Person getting glasses and finally being able to see everything around them

Doctor: You have 4 minutes and 5 seconds left to live. *Me:*

getting some real 1984 vibes here XD

Still waiting for a sequel. 9/28/21

I got a theory, please ignore. This is like a fricken story I made up So judging from their clothes, it looks like this takes place in a school setting. As school can be a breeding ground for rumors, it would make sense (?) in this particular school, people have one thing is common. At least more than half, share a group opinion, most likely they were all raised on the same idea. (What the idea is, doesn’t really matter but you get the point) they seem very defensive about it too *”if you’re not with us, you’re against us”* and *call for passion, call for action call for something more, for war* they’ll probably fight to the death, (metaphorically) and may get very offended when somebody disagrees with them. They mention the game Telephone, and *how long can we keep playing until the game undermines the status quo* in that game, if you change what the person before you said, you might get a weird look. (because you tried to, or did change what the original message was) in this case, it might be representing people trying to speak their different opinions and change something. The other students may see it as disturbing the peace because somebody’s not agreeing with them, so those other kids just go along with it to avoid getting bullied or something. Miku seems to be someone to just keep her head down and follow along, The actual story kinda looks like she gets tangled up in a popular clique, who have strong influences on students. Rin (at least it looks like her, I’m not sure) is dressed in almost militaristic type clothes, so she may have a lot of social power. When she stands over a Miku in a few scenes, that could be that Rin’s trying to make her believe everything she says, and be almost dictatin. Sounds like Miku just wants to peacefully live with a different opinion though... As she hangs out with this clique, she develops a love for gossiping about others, and digging up their dark secrets *developing an obsessional open closed doors, gave me a compulsion need to find out even more* (most likely from social media) When she says *why did I pick up the phone?* that might be referring back to their games of Telephone, and how she consistently changes, or repeats changed versions of the original message. Which could be bad things being said about people. *when it was easier, I should’ve stayed oblivious* Miku brings up things “being easier” a few times. Possibly she’s thinking about when her and her peers were younger, and didn’t care about much, or before she joined a Rin’s clique, and “staying oblivious” she’s probably wishing she didn’t follow along with the rumors, gossip, and overall learning terrible things about people in risk of damaging her reputation. Let’s go back to the start when she says *I couldn’t be the one to tell you what was off that day* I feel like she’s expressing that all the pressure kind of caved, and she unintentionally acts significantly different from how everyone’s been viewing her. *hoping no one notices my thoughts are out of line* well she still doesn’t want to be seen as the rebel against the common idea. It sounds like Rin tried to approach her and ask if something was wrong, but Miku didn’t say anything because (maybe) she didn’t feel strong enough to say to her face that she just didn’t think the same way. Over time, Rin might have gotten the idea that Miku was much different from how she thought she was. So she begins messing with her head, getting her to practically admit things in hopes she can expose her. It’s like when your hiding a secret and you tell someone something you think wouldn’t give anything away, but that other person had gathers information about you that made what you said a dead giveaway. She spreads rumors about how Miku disagrees with everything that everyone thinks, but also stretches the truth so much that it makes Miku out to be the worst piece of human scum on the planet. in the chorus, she’s wrapped up in phone cords, so this might symbolize being stuck in a constant game of Telephone, and changing the message 24/7 to fulfill the demands of a clique that has the power to take any and all of her social standing away. She tries to convince everyone that *It’s all propaganda* in hopes that she won’t be an outcast if they believed Rin lied about everything.“don’t believe anything you see or hear*. When she says “give me a minute, let me decide, it’s my own life. I’m not about to pretend these people are close to being my friends* that might say that she’s gonna stop being friends with people who can’t get passed a certain opinion she’s not even trying to force on anyone, In the next scenes *2:01* and *2:12* she might have LITERALLY ran away from everyone and everything, or just started skipping school and isolating herself. Though at *2:45* it kinda looks like Rin stalks her and just wants to make her life a living hell even more because Miku basically lied just to get in her clique so she would be superior to other students… *Every thought is sabotage, what a fool I am* she might have tried to come up with ideas to make things better, but only makes it worse. And *what a fool I am* might either mean she finds herself dumb for trying, or sees that she’s put herself in the shoes of the people she spread rumors and gossiped about, so she might think it’s what she deserves. (Plus in that scene *2:51* since we get a pretty clear shot at the bandages on her hands, that might suggest something very bad...) the video ends with the chorus, and Miku most likely has had her reputation destroyed, and she lives in fear of people actually hurting her over something that just doesn’t matter too much. I feel like a cool sequel would be Miku either getting revenge on Rin by ruining her life, or starting over and finding friends that can live with each other’s different mindset :) Although I probably got the entire meaning wrong so that sequel wouldn’t even make sense XD

一瞬で頭にこびりついた プロパガンダ プロ プロパガンダ

THIS IS SO GOOD. Thank you for this great song, I always await for you new works. This one certainly did not disappoint.

man, this song could inspire a really good anime

I think the thumbnail is hilarious because since it says "I should do it (I should run)" mixed with the art for Miku mix so well for many reactions that I have for everyday things.

初音の英語版が狂おしいほど好きなんだが この曲の初音の声が狂おしいほど好きなんだが というかサビすこ入りからすこ 絵もやっぱ好きですうぽつです ……これを英語に出来たらどれだけ良いだろうか。

ok, so the way i see it, is that this is about the draft. she’s being called to “serve her country”. the propaganda part is that they’re playing it off like a game. nobody sees the war as serious. they all see the draft as just a game. go serve your country for a little while. Miku was the same way. she answered the call, also not taking it seriously, until she entered the front lines. she saw horrors. but even then, those above her still just called it a game. losing game after game would be the numerous battles that she was in. ones where she just barely managed to escape with her life. even so, they keep calling her back. she keeps going because she herself has also tried to convince herself that it’s not real, but deep inside she knows the truth, and eventually she can deny it no longer, so she deserts. she refuses the last call and runs, but her higher ups won’t let her escape that easily. so they capture her. i think at the end they’re trying to forcefully brainwash her into believing it’s just a game, and the last chorus of just propaganda is her trying to fight it.

i come back to see if any other parts have been posted every once in a while. and you know what? this shit still slaps every time i check

Well, we are living the real propaganda now
