Btw you did react to something by Kikuo which is Love me, Love me, Love me. KikuoHana is basically the duo formed from Kikuo and that amazing vocalist Hanatan. They're like match made in heaven with Kikuo fuzzy and experimental music and Hanatan's empowering voice that can maintain itself over that.

@andromxda Год назад

As a fan of Kikuo (and KikuoHana), your commentary showed me parts of the song I'd never noticed before. I don't know if you ever got around to looking at the lyrics like you said, but the song is about being trapped in a nightmare and not being able to wake up. You pointed out that the vocals often are being overpowered by the instrumentals, and it clocked for me that it's likely Kikuo did that to depict how the singer feels so small in this big nightmare world full of monsters. Very fun to see your takeaway.

@pofficial3345 Год назад

It's actually just a metaphore, the song is about schizophrenia

@andromxda Год назад

@@pofficial3345 That's not necessarily true. It probably is a metaphor, but there's more evidence of the metaphor being about a school girl who got into a car accident and was put into a coma. Symbolized by the way she holds up her hands over the deer in a triangle shape, like the "watch out for deer" sign on the road. Although, it could be about schizophrenia, kikuo songs can often be interpreted in many ways.

@pofficial3345 Год назад

@@andromxda it could be, but at the same time she talks about salvation and illusions, also even if i find the deer part really interesting Kikuo never really says things as they are, i don't think that she means "wake me up from this nightmare" litteraly. Whatever the actual story of the song is. There's also the tentacles always lurking in her shadow and a weird sort of ripper ??? Idk the meaning of those tho

@andromxda Год назад

@@pofficial3345 people in a coma are often plagued by nightmares and monsters. Also, holding up your hands in front of a deer is more symbolism rather than directly stating something, which kikuo is known to do.

Man the pipes of that vocalist. I have a feeling she's done some Touhou stuff before, she sounds familiar. Edit: She usually goes by YURiCa when she works on Touhou stuff, she's worked with Cordelia and I think mostly with Sound Holic.

@Caca-yq2di Год назад

10:27 I’m glad you felt that. The first time I listened to the song I cried without understanding a single lyric either. For me, that was enough to make the duo my favourite artists for a very long time. Although they’re both incredibly talented and match so well musically, I especially adore Kikuo as a producer. Really love the tone of each of his song. Thank you for reacting to KikuoHana! They’ve got two full-length albums and you should definitely check more of that stuff if you liked this song !!!

@vodkasvoice 6 месяцев назад

Months old video but I couldn't rest until I pointed out that the mixing of her voice was definitely intentional, given the lyrics literally talk about how the singer can't raise her voice and be heard in "this world" that she feels trapped in. It was absolutely Kikuo invoking her inability to be heard over the chaos of the world and her feeling of helplessness.

@Comhead1234 Год назад

@emberwoodruff9698 Год назад

The fact that in the lyrics she keeps mentioning how she can't breathe or talk in this world really makes the mixing make sense - she's trapped in this nightmare that's overpowering her to that extent, of course the instrumental (representing the nightmare) would be mixed further forward than usual. absolutely amazing song I love when artists really put all their emotions into it, and the instrumental has so many details and layers which makes it so interesting to listen to

@SomeGaymerNerd Год назад

kikuo sometimes collabs with hanatan to make original music or covers of their own original music- iirc the hanatan version came out before the miku version when it comes to this song

@Rj-27 6 месяцев назад

I believe the reason the music overpowers the voice is because the song is about being trapped in a nightmare that you can't escape from. So the music feels like it's trying to suffocate and suppress the singer as they're both battling to be in control.

@ira__s Год назад

I truly love how Kikuo can make his music so out there and try so many different things and somehow they always work! And Hanatan's amazing vocals fit them so well too. Would be super cool to see other Kikuohana's songs covered. I knew you would really like them!

@esoes835 Год назад

Fancinating is that Kikuo have zero music education, he don't even understand chord progression. He just makes music as he think sounds good.

@DrumRollTonyReacts Год назад

Lol of course they understand a chord progression! You don't need "music education" to understand the basics of chord functions and harmonic moment. This idea that folks who didn't study theory in a academic setting don't know it...is minimizing to those musicians. They clearly understand it quite well 🎵

@esoes835 Год назад

@@DrumRollTonyReacts No. He literally said that he don't understand it. His music teacher in school told him not to learn music theory because it could limit his imagination. He is making music since he was little, doing stuff like recording sounds with mic in a corner of room to make them sound diffrent (limitations of old and free DAW).

@Hikari12217 9 месяцев назад

@@esoes835He can say whatever he wants, but he must understand it subconsciously, otherwise he wouldn't be able to compose at all, saying that someone can compose without being able to comprehend a cord progression is like saying that someone can write a book without being even able to read, It doesn't make sense.

Kikuo is infamous in the vocaloid scene for his very dark, chaotic, artsy, and unconventional songs, sometimes straight up shocking and traumatizing (stuff like "I'm Sorry I'm Sorry" and "Hitogawari"). Glad that you were still able to really appreciate the piece tho despite it being incredibly unconventional! And yeah, Kikuo absolutely loves his sound effects. In fact, he has a song that uses tons of goofy cartoon sound effects that still manages to sound serious and tense lol. (It's called "Emptiness, Emptiness, Emptiness of Emptiness" if anyone here's curious)

The chaotic sound is pretty Kikuo standard, you can hear it similarly in Kara Kara Kara no Kara, which is a song that seems to depict a disorder in which one can't identify their emotions correctly. The chaos of the music reflects the trouble this disorder causes. Similarly since there are some dramatic feelings in this song, Kikuo has returned to this composing to reflect it.

This is one of my favourite vocal performances from Hanatan, but honestly, my favourite by far is her version of Red Riding Hood's Wolf. The problem is, it hasn't been officially uploaded on either Kikuo, or Hanatan's channel. The only ways to listen to it are through the single RU-vid reupload, or by going to Kikuo's website, and downloading the backing and vocals and mixing them yourself. Another really good vocal performance on a Kikuo song is Histrionic, which was made for Miyashita Yuu to sing, his vocal range is incredible.

Correct me if I'm wrong as someone already stated the surface level meaning of the song but I believe this song is about the young girl losing her parents to a car crash. You see her create a street sign, then witness a burning deer, facing death reaper himself, and I am not Japanese but jellyfish and tentacles often represent death and maybe guilt in japanese culture. So basically she is constantly reliving the moment in her dreams hence why she wishes to wake up from "this nightmare" but sadly the reality is her parents are gone and she is alone.

@forgottenmemqries 5 месяцев назад

Based on research I've done (And what people have said), This song is about abuse and/or schizophrenia. The video has English subtitles, If you put them on, at the ''For I believe there is salvation for me'' I think this implies that the singer/character believes that they can heal from all the abuse they're enduring, It could be abuse from parents, abuse from bullies, or even sexual abuse. Whatever it is, the speaker believes they can find ''salvation'' from it. ''Please wake me up from my nightmare'' The speaker might be hallucinating or dreaming, This makes a lot of sense given the schizophrenia theory. The monsters, the hoodie monster is one of their many hallucinations.
