[KAITO GAKUPO LEN] IMITATION BLACK [English Sub][Vocaloid] バナナイス 

I love how Kaito and Gakupo are singing so beautifully in the chorus and Len's just like "laalalalalala" while wearing a dress

So many years later and I still think this is one of the best Vocaloid songs out there.

Let's just all agree that this paring makes me shit my pants. Their voices blend so god damn well I wanna cry

**Rin stands outside of Lens room and knocks on the door** Rin: Len! I can't find my black bow, most of my makeup and one of my dresses! Do you know where there are? Len: **still inside his room** uh, no sorry. **Rin opens the door and sees Len wearing the bow, dress, and he's applying the black lipstick** Rin: another music video? Len: Yeah

なんか突然思い出して聴きにきた やっぱ良いな･･･ かっこいい可愛い最高

令和になった。平成の曲なんだなぁ… だけど元号が変わろうとこの曲への気持ちは変わらなく 大好き

This is such a nostalgia trip for me, Imitation Black was the first Vocaloid song I had ever heard, and here I am, 11 years later, listening to it once again. I'm glad this song was the one that got me into Vocaloid, the whole tone and visuals are just as strikingly beautiful as the first time I experienced it.

For those saying why Len is in a dress never heard of cross dressing. (And Len rocks it!)

Kaito is a kite? Check. Len is a girl? Check. Gakupo's eyes stare into my soul? Check. I'd say it's an SCL Project song

こんなに海外の方に愛されてるこの曲を好きでいれるのがとても嬉しい

this is really nostalgic holy crap. 10 years later, still a decent song.

*sigh* Visual Kei...one of the best forms of entertainment made for fangirls world wide. Never understood the dress bit, but they are always nice and well Len makes them look good since they are tailored for him. So sad I found this so late...Those three have become my most favorite vocaloids...*heads to import them*

ONCE AGAIN, Len ends up in a dress XD

やっと見つけた！4年間探しましたよ…

I usually scroll through the comment section for explanations or possibly explanations of the songs, so far I've only seen talks about dresses, Black Bulter and the usual fangirls doing what you (we) do best yes I'm new to the Fandom :3

How this happened: Gakupo: Hey Len? where's your sister? We need to do a song with her. Kaito: Yeah, have you seen her? Len: No... But can do it instead? Kaito and Gakupo: but- Len: LET ME DO IT INSTEAD Kaito and Gakupo: Alright... a few hours later... THIS SONG XD

15 years later and it's still a bop. 💜💙💛

When Len is mouthing something, it looks like he's saying "I love you both." o_o

I spent forever searching for this song because it randomly popped into my head after years.

after so many years I still come back to this song from time to time, I dont know why but from all of vocaloid songs I've ever heard (and it is a LOT) this is the most remarkable for me Imitation Black and Alluring Secrets are two vocaloid songs that will always have its space in my nostalgic-heart

12年前だけどほんと神曲やで

I don't know why, but my brain translates the 'SCL' in these videos to 'So... cross-dressing Len???'

damn i haven't watched this since middle school and now im going into college... vocaloids will never leave me haha

Len* Hey Rin me and the guys are doing a song again Rin* nice to know Len* can i barrow a dress again Rin* just don't rip it and bring it back in one piece please

Len is so beautiful!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this masterpiece omg

이렇게 좋은 노래가 있었다니!!😍 바나나이스 노래 중에 이미테이션 블랙은 처음이네요! 실제 사람이 부르는 것도 듣고 싶다ㅠㅠ 진짜 명곡이야ㅠㅠ❤❤❤❤❤ 도입부부터 짱이야!!😍😍😍😍😍

Uuugghh... I can't get enough of Kaito's voice in this song... ~ u ~) Heaven... And also Gakupo... kyaahhh~~~~ and nice dress there, Len~~

I'm back after 7 whole years to listen to this song again after if popped up on my timeline. I miss being that invested in vocaloid now. Well, not like I'm ever leaving the fandom lol.

These lyrics are brutal... Like, I've loved this song just for the sound of it all, and then I see the translation and I'm in tears...

No matter how many times I listen to it, this song never gets old.

2016 anyone?

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS! They all sound so good together, and I'm really loving how Len is in a lolita black dress with black lipstick. All of them are so awesome in this vid :D

Like what is this song even about? Every Len/Gakupo/Kaito song is them singing about "forbidden love" "I want to see you" "My lust for you is so immense" and shots of them half-kissing while one of them has to dramatically stare into the camera... and like that's it. No story or explanation or deeper meaning, that... is all. Like, the PV is good but what am I supposed to do with this now? What is this even about? Why can't they be together? Is Len dead? Again? I have many questions and like no answers rip

9 years later, and I still unabashedly love this

懐かしい😇

好みがクッキリ分かれそうな曲ですなぁ。

So.. Just no ones going to debate about the song meaning?

Oh gosh. 10 years and the switch from Gakupo to Kaito at 2:38 still sends my heart thumping! ((((> /// < ))))

IMITATION BLACKの時のKAITO兄さんの声がほんとに好き…

懐かしすぎて

They should make a kuroshitsuji version of this with Sebastian as Kaito, Claude(or any other male character besides Alois) as Gakupo and Ciel or Alois as Len, im tempted to do it myself but im not good at Photoshop or anything like that

7 years later and this song is still great omg

日本語のコメント！ KAITOさんとがくぽさんかっこいいです (´・ω・｀) レン君は可愛いですね ♥

i've always LOVED len's voice :3 this song caught my breath when i listened to his voice. it's beautiful isn't it!!?????? I LOVE LEN KAGAMINE :D

I am litraly crying right now just go re-watch the video an really think about the lyrics I'll start you off. Katio and Gakapo both absaluotly loved Len and now he's dead but the two of them are still living in this crual world of theirs how do they continue. I'm pretty sure this song is about Katio and Gakapo's lives after Len is gone.

Still in here.. Alone... Watching kaito len and gakupo.. How fun

The comments section on this video is like a goldmine of weeaboo comments.

God, I could NOT remember the name of this song for years. I'm glad I finally found it again, even tho I don't listen to vocaloid anymore. It's nostalgic Edit: nvm I lied I'm listening to vocaloid again lmao

oh my god where was this all my life???

After ten years, this song still gives me chills >w

3:13 LEN! That dress barely covers your thigh gap! I like it. =w=

Why Len is always a girl in Kaito's and Gakupo's song?

ひっさしぶりに聞いたな。2019

oh to be a 7th grader listening to this on the school bus on my ipod nano that i wasn't supposed to bring to school seriously tell me why i was literally obsessed with this song at the ripe age of 12 🤨 (because it's a BANGER)

ive avoided this song for a while and i regret that cause this is a bop

めっちゃいいーー💓💓

I legit forgot this song existed despite it having been the only thing that mattered to 13 year old me. How dare I.

bruh i’ve been looking for this song for 5 years now i’m here

Kaito=Sebastian Len=Ciel Gakupo=Claude Kaito=America Len=England Gakupo=France Kaito=William T Spear Len=Grell Gakupo=Adrian ((Undertaker))

Oh boy i miss this

Gay interpretation: In a society where a couple consisting of a man and a woman is only acceptable, anything else is just an "imitation." Despite how real and powerful their emotions and experiences are, they can never fully accept them as legitimate, leading to heartbreak after heartbreak as their love can never be realized by society and instead exists only as a secret, that for their own sanity, they want to forget and "paint over in black."

I saw Len say I love you Kaito

12 years after and i'm still confused

"Loving and being loved, to the point of going mad..." Wow. That line was perfection.

3:00 Fideos con tuco ♡ Love kaito mua mua

what if kaito and Gakupo feel in love with Rin to the point where their obsessive fighting for her caused her death and in grief len began dressing like her in a way to keep her memory alive. Then gakupo and kaito tried to project their love for rin onto len, but at the end they all knew it was an immitation.

This arch of songs are a truly gay anthems. Len Kagamine invented Power Bottom culture.

It's been years and this song is still iconic as ever.

okay, len is a boy.. that's what you call Visual Kei(?) style.. .-.

2018 and i still listen this song... epic ending

i wish i could find this on spotify ;____;

SO MANY MEMORIES. Wow I haven't listened to this in years (probably about 5) and it's so nostalgic.

oh god, i feel so old. 😭 i remember jamming to this as a kid at the height of my goth phase. yikes!

It took me almost a year to figure out the first few (two??) times that there was these two similar parts that went unsubbed were actually the word "IMITATION" in English. And it took me so long!!!

this song is the reason i went on for a few years thinking len was a girl.

now this takes me BACK-

今も聞いてる人🙋‍♂️

Help! I've fallen into a vocaloid tunnel and I can't get out!!!! I haven't listened to this stuff in YEARS!!!!!

wiiuの太鼓の達人で知ったんだよなぁ。定期的に聴きたくなる名曲

This is a classic in Vocaloid world. I remember downloading and singing to this song yeaaaaaars ago. oh, the memories. :')

1:01 Len sounds like spongebob when he was a literally clarinet for squidward in that one episode.

some good memories

THIS IS A GODDAMN BOP

この曲めっちゃ好き神曲❤

just sayin, I thought it said Imitation Crab before i clicked it O-O

When this video came out, I saw it at its first views and i desperately tried to find covers. No one had them anywhere. So as i patiently waited, people made them and now this video has almost half a mil views. Not surprised at good music! i saw it when it had at least 20,000! XD

神曲過ぎて泣ける・・・

This unreasonably made me sad ...

I must listen to music everynight to release my stress.Even taiko I must play it no matter what

People who are freaking out about Len in a dress have likely never heard of Visual Kei

GREAT. JUST GREAT! IN THIS PV, LEN'S COSPLAYING SIDE COMES OUT!! JUST GREAT!!

"len is... gya?!?!?!" "len kagamine commented: EWWW I DONT WANNT TO MAKE OUT WITH THOSE TWO AND WEAR A DRESS WHY!!!!!" "thats not len that rin len cant wear a dress" i feel like this video is my enemy because homophobia and transphobia galore and also why shouldnt he crossdress???? its not even crossdressing she is a confirmed girl in this song it makes me sad because i genuinely love vananice and i own all the albums and artbooks and that one dvd but (SIGHS LOUDLY) all that and rape jokes i need to lie down :/ ive been complaining abou t comments on this video for ages now but i think its time i address them directl y so here i am edit: now people are calling natsup a gross fat japanese man Nice. because only a sick person would make a song where lens like this. Good. i wonder if she knows about this???? i mean i know she got some pretty mean comments about the original upload, but i doubt they insulted her as a human being. at least i hope they didnt shes really nice...

It would be so cool if the imitation black saga was made into an anime and all the songs as the intros

Question : Why does Len have make-up? Answer : Because he is a real man

This is sooo awesomely hot! The picture animation is soo epic. Okay, Len does look a bit strange in a dress, but only he can make that kind of thing work.

my question all the time: *“was **2:32**-**2:39** part really necessary?”* _because i can’t barely hear gakupo’s voice and it confused me when i sing that part. i usually went on silence but there’s a lyric of it so_

omg this used to be my favorite song😭

If you pause at 1:22 and take a good look at that picture it looks a lot like Miku with her ponytail and everything.
