I think the story kinda goes like this. Girl is a loner and was often bullied, but then she met this nice boy who she eventually liked. Therefore, she confessed. But based on the messages the guy sent her, it looked like he rejected her. Proceeding, the girl was pushed onto the train tracks by the bullies, the guy came to rescue but she chose to let go and die, turning into a soul. Ever since then, she (ghost) is always watching the boy hoping that he'll smile again after being sad upon witnessing her death. The boy is able to move on so it's some sort of reconciliation for the ghost girl. This way, she is able to pass on. Because all she ever wanted was to see him happy.
Omega-Xis honestly though, not to be rude to anyone's "theory" for this song but the story for this song is way obvious from the PV lol I even already get what happened the first time this video got posted on NND sooo--who really cares who posted this theory first? it's not a race or anything
@@noeticnoetic I'm gonna cry laughing lmao. You just refuse to listen to any other music than weeb shit and think it's the best music because everything in america is worse than in japan. There's music like this in every genre, I hope you don't stay this close minded your entire life.
Apparently, the guy rejected her at 2:10? I suppose its after that that the starting sequence happens(AKA she got pushed down, he tried to help her but she jumped down anyway). He felt bad not only because he wasn't able to save her, but also because his rejection contributed to her decision to die. The girl wasn't able to move on because of her guilt at making his lose his smile. But in the end, she saw him laughing like he always did, so she gained peace and was able to move on.
"Your smiling face saves me once again." Ugh, that line just works so well because of the double meaning of "saving." (Easing her depression just a bit or helping her pass on to the afterlife, depending on your interpretation.) But man, Nanou sure knows how to tug at the heartstrings.
This is mine: 1. The girl is being bullied by her classmates and they were the ones who pushed her down the train tracks. 2. she got to know the guy when he smiled to her. 3. she confessed and told him her feeling yet the guy didn't reciprocate it. and they didn't meet for a while. 4. They met again, when the guy helped her getting up, but then the girl realized that at least one person, helped her in "getting up " (means to stand up for the bullies or something.) 3. Because she is happy she killed herself knowing that at least one person cared for her.,and the same time feeling that her life is already "trashy" or kinda doesn't have any meaning at all. 4. throughout the half of the song, she is already a spirit,(This started after her confessing to him, to him crying inside the train *maybe he remembers the girl who used to sit in front of him on the train* up to him having a girlfriend). 6. seeing that he is already happy, she left. 7.the guy felt the girl's presence when she left that is why he stopped smiling, and looks like a little shock or something, at the end. P.S I think she's not sad because the guy rejected her rather because of the bullies continuing to bully her. He is like her savior or the oasis amidst the desert. She also wants him to be happy that's why she continued to stay by his side even only inside the train to and at least keep track if he already moved on after witnessing her death. And the text is from the guy AFTER her death(at least the third message), and maybe the first two is from him AFTER her confession. Well, I'm not confident in that part. LOL
It's not just about feeling so sad that you want to die, it was like she just became indifferent towards life in general because she didn't know what was so good about it, and so she didn't really care that her life was going to end.

Can I please just- give the girl a big hug? And maybe cries beside her as I hug her and tell her that it's gonna be alright? Or just offers free hugs for the viewers? I just wanna hug someone right now ;w;
When I read the start I thought I would have and existential crisis again, but then when she talked about that person, I noticed... This person coumd be anything. You just have to love it. It could be McDonald's, dancing, singing, sex, buying useless crap, iPhone, RU-vid videos, a TV series, anything. That is what keeps us from being sad and depressed beings. But it sadly, also shows how if we support too much on one thing, we fall down. It can break, just be gone, or whatever. The point is, we are going to love something, it will not be enough support, we will break ourselves, and start again. *That's life*. edit: i am now 15 and the way I've found to support yourself in life and not be depressed is (shocker) self love! once you develop a sense that you are the only one sticking by forever, and you are good enough by yourself, that fills the void better than anything. have a nice day everyone!
I am 4 years ahead of this comment now and actually, I agree with you... that's why I don't really know now if I still wanna love someone or not... Life is, I don't know if I will call it a masterpiece or a chaos 😥... thanks for this comment
really late, but i agree! we can find happiness in anything but we just shouldn’t grow too dependent on a single thing. if it’s a person we can end up neglecting them as a person and not think of their emotions or opinions. coping can be strange, but i hope you all find a healthy way of coping!
ya know, in a sense i can relate to the girl; there were times i felt the exact same way, as being a person whom was bullied quiet often in the past; my exception being the fact that i had a fascination with anime, yugioh cards, and etc. all the way up to highschool, and i'd often feel the same way; the only diffrence being this girl didn't seem to really have any friends. i suppose that's the biggest lesson here, everyone needs a friend.
Yanderela she actually was pushed. That occured after she confessed to the boy. The boy tried to help her out of the train tracks and once she saw the kindness of at least one person she thought it was enough and let go, killing herself. And her ghost stayed in the one spot she knows she would be happy, the train watching him smile
Yanderela I think the lyrics are talking more about the world in general at that point. Everyday, somebody jumps, somebody smiles, somebody is stabbed, somebody cries and that never changes.
Ok I think I got it! The girl was being bullied and hated living. Until one day she was pushed on to the train tracks. There she meets the boy, but she let go killing herself. Proof in the vid we see her body looked as if she was hit by a train( in the child to teenager showing) that is why we see a picture of the boy crying when the lyrics say "you are always smiling". The boy picking her phone up and giving it to her was before the accident. Now she is a ghost seeing what has happened to him. (It would be awkward to not see or acknowledge her with his girlfriend if she was there unless she was a ghost.) now we see that when she leaves. The boy feels a burden lifted, hence turning his head when she stepped off.
Ooh and to help strengthen this theory is in the description. The boy texts the girl saying "are you alright" the last text says "this won't reach you will it....."
Hikaru Station " You don't know how this song brings so much melancholy into the hearts of those who knew what the girl experienced. I've watched it first w/out subs and cried. Now finding the one w/ subs is even harder to swallow.
I remember listening to this 5 years ago, not understanding a word. Now I'm a student of japanese (second year of studies) and I understand 90% of the song. I am so proud and happy that I understand one of my favorite songs without subs.
The only thing that now (coming back to it) disturbs me is how the singer uses "boku", as the more boyish way to call yourself (me/I), it feels more like this is the man being regretful about this black haired girl killing herself, she did so due to bullying and not because of him. I see the video as her trying to communicate "please don't cry, I will be sad, it's not your fault, please continue to love and live".. This is also why I want someone to do a duet of this, singing the fitting lyrics as female and the others male. It'd take an interesting turn, wouldn't it? :p

+SYUKRI TAUFEK True, but the really sad thing is that when people do, they do it because they think its the best or only way left. ;n; **when reality hits u*
Ikr Japanese songs are gr8 for deep emotional stuff compared to American crap about your sex life or having music videos of naked people on a fucking wrecking ball. I liked the OLD Miley Cyrus better
How come I've just found this now? This is a real masterpiece, it's message is so sad yet somehow it cheers me up to continue living in this world no matter how unfair it can be for some people.
Swaying between "like" and "hate" about this world. Thinking like that every single day sucks. It's unproductive and it gets you nowhere yet you still think about it. You found something you like that you'd like you give your all, yet you're afraid of losing it, so you don't. You cling on to something knowing that it sometime will disappear. You cry in your room, but then thought that someone must be crying in the room like me too and it makes it worse. You realize how sh*t a human can be, just by watching a film or listening to music or even a real life experience and decided to not trust everyone, but at that point you'll never make a real connection to people. You kept yourself on a thin grey line as you sway towards choices but none of them are any easy. You want to talk about these feelings, but you don't have anyone to talk to. You might even think it's a waste of time. You talk hard to yourself as punishment for doing nothing to change this as you plunge yourself to fantasies rather than reality. You eat problems everyday and they told you that this will make you stronger, but sh*ts taste like sh*t whatever flavor you add and you take it down your throat everyday they feed you bullsh*t. "Why is it like this for me?", "why can't I be them?" So much self-pity, so much hate, so much sadness, so much time wasted on yourself! Even so, we still gotta wake up tomorrow, until you sit on a hospital bed waiting for the day you can finally rest.
I already fall in love with this song since the first time I listened to this. I know this is a sad song but I only think this is about sad love story (since I'm not Japanese and I don't really understand it), but after looking to the comments before watching the video, it just seems like :*OMG this song must describe my world! I REALLY HAVE TO WATCH AND LOVE THIS SONG!*Big thanks to you all who wanna stay with us :)
Or maybe, just maybe, they have mental health issues that can otherwise be treated and they can be helped. Fuck off, they're people, people who die because of preventable conditions, people who can die because they needed help and people ignored them, people like you.
I know that this might not be seen but i'm going to do it anyway This is my interpretation: The girl was bullied by her classmates, one day her classmates pushed her down the train tracks and the guy tried to save her but the girl was already done with life that she decided it was time to let go... After her death, her spirit was still at the train station and everytime she enters, seeing in 1:07 "just repeat over and over" it means that there is always no end to the cycle she is in which is she can never be free, in 1:23 she also doesn't know if loving the world is alright or if she can continue to love herself but when she saw the guy that saved her she begins to like him (in 1:57) few days after the guy begins to get into a relationship with someone on the phone and eventually irl, when the girl sees this she feels saddened but she doesn't really care as long as the guy is happy, what she really what is for the guy to have happiness and not sadness, so when she finally feels that he is really happy, she exists the train while it's still moving and then she leaves the world knowing that the guy is happy
"your smiling face saves me once again" i'm not trying to be edgy or something, but i can realte to this. When i see that one person smiling and laughting, it makes me smile and be happy as well.
You're always, always happily smiling like that And so I sway and sway from side to side, between "hate" and "like". I can really relate to these lines. Still smiling for friends who are doing so fantastically well. Whilst I feel like I am sinking further and further into the abyss from the light.
the way i see it the world hasn't been kind to the girl and she hates both the world and how she reacts to this. she wants to be strong and laugh through it, to actually love this world and herself but she's long forgotten how to. then the guy reaches out and he's kind to her. despite it not fully changing her opinion of the world, she starts questioning herself because of how happy he seems and how bright his smile is. she harbors feelings for him within time and he rejects her, to which she goes back to her original opinion that people can never remain kind. i think she knows he's also somewhat depressed, but she wants to see him smile because the world is so cruel that if he stopped smiling, she wouldn't know what to do. and she wants to keep his smile because it makes her at ease too; maybe because that's what she liked about him and she's happy as long as he can have good days.
you know what....I always said to myself that I want to kill myself and disappear like dust but I can't. ....because the people I know will cry even though they don't really care about me. .I don't want them cry. I want them happy. even the whole week really a very super bad luck week anf very depressing I'm still here alive and be strong for this life .....in this song...seriously related to me. People like us need more attention. People need to know what we feel ...^▼^ Happy Lucky Everyday
I think often of suicide. Very often. I really, really want to end it. The only thing stopping me is that there are people who love me. The last thing I want is to hurt any of them. I don't want to hurt anyone. Only myself. But, because I have people who love and care, I cannot do it. Some days I find comfort in their love. Other days I hate it. If they didn't love me, I could have done taken care of myself and been done with this terrible place. Sure, there's good. I am very much aware of that. I still have good days, days where I don't feel so helpless. But I still have many bad days, where the only things that run through my head are how I want to do it, and that I can't, because I'm loved. Those days are exhausting. They drain me of my desire to fight, to reason with myself. But, even as I write this, I know I'll never do it. Today I feel bitter about that statement. Tomorrow I may take delight in it. But for now, right this moment, I wish no one loved me so I could do it. I wish I was less self-less and more greedy. I wish I could do it. But I can't.
