Kikuo - MAWARU 

kind of unrelated to the song, but i had a dream that kikuo made a song about someone who kidnapped children and used their blood to create rubies, and using their souls to create gold and silver. when i woke up i was filled with pure disappointment that the song didnt exist and i nearly cried

i'm so sad i discovered this song after the captions got fixed i missed out on "fart" and "blooming like a bread"

You know shits getting crazy when even miku sounds like she's struggling to go so high

the best thing about this song is that at the beginning you think it's soothing and calm, but then you just want to jump and dance like an idiot.

My nerves after hitting my elbow in _that_ spot

when u spin on ur office chair

The music is swirling, spinning, swirling, spinning, and randomly making sound. That's WHY the song call Mawaru, it mean "spinning". I like Kikuo's music, coz his music is different and can change our ordinary music that we listen to the next generation "music the new way". Get it? :)

I may have an idea of what this song is about. 'MAWARU' means 'to spin' in Japanese, when translated. a key factor of meaning is present here aswell as in the first few lyrics, 'blurry blur blur'. The song may be about a person who has a SERIOUS drinking problem and had nearly died to alcohol poisoning. the persons seems to be laughing and crying violently as a result of alcohol acting on the brain. he walks into an alleyway drunkenly before he seems to faint, as he feels a change in heart rate (soul bursting out) and he had difficulty in breathing (supposedly the trumpeting). After surviving alcohol poisoning, he might be repenting to god (the line 'Please forgive me!') and at that point in his life, everyone seems to be looking down upon him (everyone's constellations made black). he may have been praying to god in the form of dance, either stating that he regrets drinking but still does it, or that is just how japanese culture is. (apology dance). In the next few lines, the events may have occured because he drank too much a second time. it seems, that he can feel himself dying/ascending (drilling a hole into the sky). this time, he dies due to alcohol poisoning and tries ascending into heaven, only to be 'killed' by an angel. this may state that he was sent to hell for abusing substances. he is still in a delusion from the alcohol (around and around) and thus ends the story of the drunken man.

Me: *turns on English captions* Captions: I AM BLOOMING LIKE A BREAD Me: o h

“My eyeballs just flip over” Well that can’t be good.

When you stand up a bit to fast and you have iron deficiency:

This sounds like what's going on inside my head during a mental breakdown. When shit fucks you up so bad you laugh at yourself and everything else

this song is SO UNDERRATED! Its the perfect mixture of a peppy, happy song with creepy undertones. Its so unsettling in the best way, It kinda sounds like a villians theme song to me too lol

The tempo is whirring, swirling, rolling, spinning, bouncing, stretching, flipping, and frying up my braincells

MAWARUMAWARUMAWARUMAWARUUUUUWA

I like how people say Kikuo’s getting better but man, he’s been great for a long time

Kikuo's music is a whole entire genre on its own

1:06 I died

あーもうほんと好き、、、

I'm not quite sure what the lyrics are yet, but I'm getting an incredibly ominous vibe from this one that I'd previously only felt from I'm Sorry I'm Sorry. The little instrumental around 1:50 is pretty catchy. This song is definitely growing on me, though I fear for the lyrics.

1:05-1:17 is my favourite part. It’s like something that could be played in an abandoned park. But it’s amazing

きくおさんの曲は先の展開が予想できる曲じゃないから驚かされるし好き

a good theory would be that the girl from gommene gommene finally couldn't take it and ran after some time passes and grown up. she trying to remember what happened but only vague thoughts come to mind like how she felt and she got drunk.(unclear, unclear, unclear raging laughing crying alcoholic). lets escape thru the cul de sac which is most likely a metaphor for suicide (her life/road met a dead end/cul de sac/problem and the only way she thought of is escaping/death thru it.) (its dark. i can't walk anymore) in a coma from overdosing she's still confused on what happened (my eyes turned inside out) could mean how she shut herself from thoughts other then herself searching inside her mind for any clue and/or means eyes rolling back from overdosing she describes her actions/emotions in a metaphorical way. (first thing she recalled is rage - my soul blew up like a balloon burst with a bang and went on a journey.) she internalized all her hate building it up till she explodes with with an uncontrolled anger and sets off on a journey/mission (near the ending it explains what the journey was.) second is laughing - the broken rib is referring to adam and eve. eve was made from adam's broken rib so she would be obedient to him. in this case the girl being eve/broken rib and her father being adam. playing that cheerful tune is her celebrating her victory in the previous journey. third sadness - she starts regretting her actions. shortly after celebrating. (what to do?) in the past (gomenne) where she has warm heart and was happy to make others "happy" even though it made hurt her. she noticed her heart is now cold/different of how she used to be. (flipped over) overwhelmed and getting more corrupt and obscure (covered in mud.)she's no longer the "selfless warm hearted child" she thought she used to be. fourth she starts considering suicide and a universe/afterlife made by her new self/tainted blood (could be referring to the alcohol and drugs in her blood stream, or that shes has blood on her hands from the journey). saying sorry again for being "selfish" and only thinking of herself entirely because she everyone else will vanish from her reality as she joins the dead (everyone's constellation will be pitch black). 5 shes getting closer to overdosing but not quite (now dance, dance, dance! - [corpse dance] you cant see this dance, you cant hear this dance) overdose begins and she begins to be trip. she tells herself she will be forgiven if she commits suicide (if you remove your head, the dance will forgive you.) her brain degrades more forcing her to think like the tripping noise. 6 in her final moments so gone lost in her mind her body only repeats the word "Ah." but in her head she dreams of the skys smeared with mud. (her feelings about the love she used to know and the corruption of what it became.) and a drill spinning round and going down could be referring to the sensation you get from being insanely intoxicated while laying down and how shes straying farther down away from her sky (heavens/love/corruption) and drilling downward away into the ground (hell\hate) further from everything she she wants to forget. freeing her but leaving her in a confused cycle of rage, laughing and crying, (spinning round). 7(that time she saw the rainbow sparkle) while drunk she finally remembered what happened. like how once the rain clears a rainbow appears there was a moment where she saw with clarity everything wrong with what her father truly did to her and all the trauma she went throw. enraging her (blowing up like a balloon) to go kill her father (the holy messenger from the heaven/sky she used to believe in.) laughing and cheering that he's dead (the rib playing a tune) turning into regretting killing him when stockholm syndrome begins again and she cant go back to her father for forgiven. since no one can forgive her now she sees it as lifes dead end and decides the only way out is suicide. (escaping thru the cul de sac where the song/cycle/drill spins around and starts again begins)

I really wish I had the ability to subscribe twice.

fighting every urge to turn up in public rn

1:41 1:41 1:41 1:41 （自分用） 踊れ　踊れや～からのサウンドが民族てきでさらにヘッドフォンで聞くと左右に音が揺れてるから好き もう何回も聞いてる なんだかんだ一番好きだな、この曲

I think this might be one of the best songs ever made. I honestly really dont care for vocaloid music, but this is still fucking incredible.

Oh, my god. I think I got it. It's about a guy who's a drunk, maybe he's in his apartment late at night and he's depressed. Maybe he did something really bad to someone and feels like the only way to give them peace ("apology dance") is to kill himself. Just completely done with everything, he sits down and blows his head off. He regrets it as he's dying, obviously panicked and afraid ("What do I do? What do I do?"). The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a wall and ceiling splattered with blood and brain/skull parts. MAWARU could be the sensation you feel when you're extremely drunk. The end of the song is the sound of blood gushing, and then his neurons short circuiting as he finally dies.

この不協音のぶつかり合いが最高なんじゃあ……

どうしようどうしよう~~のメロディーがめっちゃ好き。 ずっとリピートしてると、曲に飲まれそうになる。好き。

I love how in 1:41, the song just involuntarily moves me in a way where I would feel dizzy ... ahh

This song is about going insane probably.

2:33 to 4:29 gave me a weird image, and then turned into a repeat of a girl (in kikuo drawing style) going around a clock upside down. She was impaled like a shoshcabob by a clock handle, She had Large "X" for eyes, pink long hair, and the only body parts we could see was her head and feet because the rest of it was tied up with a shoe string. The the clock was black and white swirls with pink outlines. she was going round and round the clock with each beat, while a big purple cat with large yellow and black button eyes and a large spiked smile that reached to its ears was behind the clock, swaying its head left to right with the beat, resting its paws on the top of the clock. Everything was so off, nothing went well together, and the background was a white circle with different colored lines going around the circle with morfed rainbow like circles inside the lines, kinda like the kikuo miku 5 logo. Very odd.... but I'm gonna draw it. The girl also looked as if she was dead. Edit: there were also a fork on the left side of the clock, and a knife on the right side of the clock. Both moving left to right to the beat. It looked as if the cat was getting ready to eat the girl.

2:50 I suddenly got happy... But thank you for the AMAZING music, Kikuo! :D

The lyrics are quite abstract, but somehow it made me think that it's talking about drunk driving and a car crash. Just that the lyrics kind of portray a drunk person, their whole world blurry and spinning, them getting in an accident, ''upside down'' meaning that the car flipped over, people trying to ''drill'' their way through the sludge (gore) stained rubble to save them, and the ''heavenly angel'' that came after them is probably the last person they saw, which was a worker trying to save them (sunlight illuminating them from behind), but it was already too late so right before their demise, the drunk person interprets the worker as an angel that had come to take them away. Also, the subject of the song here is apologizing for creating ''a messy, bloody universe'', so it fits with the narrative of them doing something bad and regretting it. This song had gone under my radar completely and I just listened to it for the first time today, so I don't know yet if there's an official meaning or a well known/accepted theory for it, but that's the picture it painted for me.

this has to be one of my VERY VERYvery VERY favorite kikuo pieces. it just has so much variety, but it's pieced together so well

Haven't seen anyone talk about the captions yet, but they look incredible, especially when they have a rainbow like changing outline on the words!

The enoglish captions I'm crying it's so bad

This song is the pinnacle of abstract tonality...

1:45 *melts*

what kinda stuff they put in this i literally can’t stop listening because it’s so good

0:30 涙が出ました。溶けそう…

Probably it's useless,but I held myself for too long and I just need to talk about how important Kikuo is for me! Even if it's been 5 years since this song has been released I can't stop listening to any of his songs! I love Kikuo so damn much. He ispires me,everytime I felt down his music always save me! I have no words about it...I- I just appreciate him so much. I never ever tought a simple artist could make my life so much better... I also never took a break from his songs. They're so unique,it's like they're something my ears have been searching for my entire life!! I still have no damn words,but I hope you all that read it can get the idea...also Kikuo,if you'd ever see this (probably not) I wanna thank you soooo much for existing! You're such a wonderful person.. I love you and your hard work,please don't ever let us down or give up! We all support and love you! Hope you all have a great day ;)

*When u finally found the only song in vocaloid that you really liked a long time ago*

Congrats on 1 million!!! I remember when this song only had 500k views and thought it was his most underrated track

kikuo is so underrated i almost cried-

if you think about it well, the song is spinning, it has cycles with specific rhythms/styles to each of them. it starts with a "normal" part, then it enters a style, then another, then another, then another, etc. then at the end it repeats mawaru. it's like a wheel, because they feel connected, but they're very different.

歌詞も音楽もよく分からない。でもその不思議な世界観が好き！ 塵塵呪詛とかてんしょうもこんな感じだよね

thus is literally my favourite kikuo song its so nice and textured oml

可愛くてノリノリで好き、頭に残る

きくおさんの曲ってもれなく全部、音がすけべだよな

Damn it was kinda trippy for me, being sick and all o_0

Kikuo is coming to my country soon, i hope he plays this song on his showw omg

I definitely recommend driving to this song on blast at night, literally a whole new experience.

この曲前から好きだったから最高だねー

Something about Hatsune Miku's voice is so comforting-

who needs acid when ya got this song

0:30 - 0:48 is so good @__@

This song makes me dizzy! Like I'm spinning! Kikuo really made me become the song's title.

最高に脳みそが気持ちいい……きくおさんの音楽が大好きだ❤

What a beautiful song! Instant favourite! Thank you for the amazing release on my birthday, Kikuo! Best Birthday present ever

I love kikuo

spain without the a

WE DID IT WE GOT TO A MILLION VIEWS!!! AND I MIGHT BE THE MILLIONTH VIEW!!!

I’m so glad this random day where I put shuffle on my playlist and it came with this song (which I never put it in Spotify just enhanced it) and I was so happy

I've been playing it on repeat for days now. Too much of a bop

this is a super interesting song, GJ Kikuo!

何気にこの曲が一番好きです。いつもありがとう、きくお。

CONGRATULATIONS on 1M VIEWS!!

i have literally been looking for this song for a year now, you don't know how happy i am to have finally found it omg

ポワポワしてる摩訶不思議な世界観が大好きです…!!!!

すごい好き

1:41-2:15 Miku’s arabic part😂💖

Kikou comforts me its like there is someone who can relate to me and it he helps me kikou deserves more

Nice job! Yet another amazing track!

i love this song there is always something refreshing about listening to kikuo's music. It's so abstract and beautiful bro

This song made me imagine myself in mario kart....

最後の”回る”毒性高い

this song makes me feel like i can’t breathe

oh my god why did you make all my favorite music i freaking love ur songs

これめっちゃ好き もっと伸びろ〜!!!(*´Д｀人)

something tells me the captions are wrong about the beginning being fart, fart, fart, everything become fart lmaooooooooo

Love this

I've been a fan of Kikuo for almost 4 years, he has evolved quite a lot! Love your music Kikuo! Keep it on! ^u^

Someone changed the english captions to "fart fart fart fart fart"... for the first line

this song sounds like a crystal cave. it has huge crystals and they’re pastel pink blue and purple. there are little diamonds on the ceiling (like the tiny ones in the shells u get) and there’s light shining through a tiny hole. the hole makes everything have a reflective rainbow light. i love this song sm.

AMAZING

OKAY BUT WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE CAPTIONS CHANGING COLORS???

i cannot get over this song

It took me years (actually 2 years) to really like this song. I must admit, although I’m a Kikuo’s fan, not all songs of his make me like them in the first time I listen to them.

間違いなく、ミクさんの叫び声はきくおの歌にとって常に完璧で必要なものです。たとえ音楽が下手でも。

2:45 I love the drop on this!!!!!

Kikuo's music is literally art ^0^

0:57 I’m in LOVE WITH THIS SONG another masterpiece thank you kikuo

I really love this one!!

hermosa música gracias
