4:25 is hilarious. That energetic and peppy whistle always gets me. It's like, after all the suffering and pain that has happened, they blindly decided to rebuild the tower and repeat it _all over again_ . It's silly and so painfully funny. and also the boosted bass that comes following after, lmao.
agreed, it’s one of the reasons i love her vocals so much ! it just has the perfect effect that the voicebanks don’t and is so nice to listen to ! she’s super talented with what she does !
I think the tower made the people who climbed it made them feel sinful joy and greed so they'll climb them even if they have to sacrifice many people because the tower actually leads to hell and people in hell are sadistic af
Hanatan and Kikuo are a great team, Kikuo’s chaotic and emotional music mixed with Hanatan’s versatile and powerful voice make a true work of art. Keep doing what you do, both of you!
+Yonzo Rikuo yeah she's a singer (human unlike miku :3) great voice and has covered at least one kikuo song before - now they've made an album together
I've never heard her properly and I thought I wouldn't like her, but this made me change my mind. Her vocals are good. I love the gradual change in pitch :D
You're missing out, she's fantastic. It's no wonder Kikuo adores her voice; check out her covers of Tsuki no Youkai and Akazukin no Ookami. Also, Lie Lie Lie. She has incredible voice control.
They way hanatan changes her tone for different verses is so cool! In the verses where the people are naïve she sounds younger and in the verses of sorrow/regret she sounds older. Definitely adds more to the song ♥
So i really liked the song, and i loved how it did its final verse and how it got to a really simple bit like it did for the first two measures. So i looked up the songs translations and... well i can see why its such an intense song. To the people who dont really know whats going on even after reading the translations a bit the songs an allegory(Am i using that word right?) it at least has a lot of symbolism but it seems pretty straightforward in what the message is. So the song starts off pretty simple. A tower was made that breached the sky, this tower was being built to get to what amounted to heaven. The first time you go up you find a fun place, the second time you go you do so mainly to indulge than have fun. The third time you go you find a place that you never want to leave. The music is pretty simple but fast, showing a bustling and thriving community climbing the tower quickly. The second verse is where it starts to pick up though. It turns out the tower is one made of sins. As it describes as the tower breaches the clouds, there is a passage to hell being dug at the same time. The last half of the verse describes a man "who failed to entertain our demons wishes" and so he fell off the tower. So they buried this man underground and then kept 'raising hell'. The music is more intense than the first verse, but it really picks up in the chorus afterwards. The third verse talks specifically to the man who fell, as it says 'youre the one who broke your promise.' which suggests this is the same man who fell and was promptly buried. It describes how its awful to be alone, and helpless as 'your blood overflows.' Then puts the blame('its not my fault, honest') to the man for breaking his promise. This is a bit of a leap but i interpret this as some sort of proclamation to god. 'This is your fault this tower is being built.' Which makes sense as this would support the second verse being about how the tower was made with sins. So instead of having god give these people permission, the people who felt betrayed and alone turn to sin and try building a tower to heaven to force their way into paradise. Now then the bridge, and we get to the fourth verse.This is where interpretation starts splitting paths. 'one day a rainfall struck making prismatic colors striking us with awe' the second half talks about drinking the rain and becoming addicted to its pleasure. So this can be interpreted as either blood or wine, im going with blood but wine would still have the same message, just a different pathway to it. With blood it suggests that people started making this tower out of either slaves(literally) or by killing to get what they want, both would make sense as in the video the tower is now made of corpses and not bricks. Showing a transition from smaller sins to full blown taking peoples lives away from them. Keep in mind that the singers voice in this version of the video gets deeper each verse. Fifth verse supports fourth verse, the higher the tower and the higher you go, the more the rain pours,making you more and more addicted to the lifestyle you have taken in climbing the tower. The sixth verse has a sense of no going back. The people can see heaven pretty much('our job is almost done'). The last line of this verse being 'we cant decend unless we prefer to die'. The people in this story were so wrapped up in their sin that if they were to realise the horrors of what they were doing and try to escape it, they would just end up being killed by the people who helped them get there in the first place. The seventh verse is much darker. Showing the people who are still climbing and how much they end up speaking like monsters. 'More rain, please i need to drink it all. I want it all, quench my thirst for pleasure.' The final line of this verse showing how they are doing this for themselves: Hurry up and build so i can be appeased. Verse Eight. We hit the climax, and as soon as we were inches from heaven all hell breaks loose. A bird flies to the tower and breaks it down, destroying everything. This shows how the sins end up catching up to the people who commit them. Verse nine. Describes how the people higher up the tower end up falling harder. But even the people at the bottom of the tower had to run away from this collection of sins breaking down, 'Men, women, and children all fled to survive'. People who didnt even take part in this tower were being harmed and punished by the deeds and sins of those who did. Verse 10: The music suddenly goes back to the calmness of the first two measures. Revealing how years passed since the tragedy occured, and that there were still people searching for the same pleasure that they experienced before. Soon enough someone finds a piece of treasure and studies it. And concludes that the only way to get the same pleasure... is to climb again. Then the final chorus plays. Revealing how this tower wasn't just a single incident, but its something that gets built again and again for the pleasures and sins of man in an attempt to reach heaven. And failing again and again, destroying the people climbing it and those around the tower. In an endless cycle of horror. *tl;dr: a very happy song that shows the highlights of man and their devotion to god*
You did a great job with that, I think it's exactly right. You have to resist the temptation of interpreting the tower as representing something immediate and specific (drugs/pleasure-seeking, a totalitarian regime) to see the more fundamental reading as a kind of modern retelling of the tower of babel, perhaps built out of a sense of having been wronged by the structure of existence and wanting compensation, no matter whether the methods by which one gets it are themselves unjust. The cycle of rebellion against the divine created by this mindset is a self-rolling wheel, and so the tower will be built again and again until people learn to value not doing injustice over being compensated for the injustice they have been subjected to.
Im not surprised that your concept about them building a tower to heaven. They had something similar like this happened in Bible where people decide to go and build the tower to heaven but God didn't like it so he broke the tower and made everybody speak in different tongues so that way they can't work together to make another Tower again
I wouldn't say it was their devotion to God. I would say it is their selfishness to seek more and more pleasure while still being very sinful. They no longer think of God, they only think of "oh how great heaven will be and what we will find in it! How great we will feel in it!"
nobody is talking about the instrumental theyre all talking about the lyrics and vocals so… the transition into more a techno more shows that this society is advancing, allowing them to build the tower more efficiently. at the end it regresses, showing that with the destruction of the tower, they lost all of the technology that came with it idk, just my interpretation

Idk why but this reminds me of that story in the Bible where humans were trying to build a tower to god, but since they were getting too far up god knocked it down and made them all speak different languages, so they couldn’t communicate and continue building the tower. And that was the Bible’s explanation for why people speak different languages. I can’t even remember where I heard that story but this strongly reminds me of it for some reason (even though the actual story of this song is probably different.)
Kinda, just this one is about human greed and the babel one is about god being bitch who dont wants people to be good with each others and reunite for a common goal lmao
The more I listen to this song, the more it feels like a reprimand of capitalism. We Build and Build, trying to get upward in life. Trying to make it so people have more and more. But the tower can't hold up that much weight forever. The world can't handle it forever. And eventually it will come tumbling down. And when it does, the only resources left to try and rebuild, will be parts of the old tower. So might as well make a new one. After all, it's all we know.
capitalism demands two things: infinite growth and the exploitation of those under you. it's fine though, because, you, too, can be rich. nevermind that it collapses everytime infinite growth can't be met

I love how Kikuo makes songs sound so nostalgic, without actually being nostalgic. It's probably because of the accordion (I had a sub teacher in elementary that played the accordion), for me, or the "childish", and melancholic aesthetic to these songs. Honestly, I kind of miss it in his newer songs. I still love his recent musical experimentation though
I’ve been a kikuo fan for years. In my opinion this is the best song they have made. I love a lot of their other songs but I doubt any will too this one. It’s everything I love about Kikuo in one song. Hanatan’s vocal talent is put on full display here (this is also probably the best songs she has sung as well) and the instrumental does an excellent job painting a full picture of the story the song is trying to tell. It also has a simple but beautiful looking music video that fits the song perfectly. Omg this song is just so good!

So i really liked the song, and i loved how it did its final verse and how it got to a really simple bit like it did for the first two measures. So i looked up the songs translations and... well i can see why its such an intense song.
To the people who dont really know whats going on even after reading the translations a bit the songs an allegory(Am i using that word right?) it at least has a lot of symbolism but it seems pretty straightforward in what the message is.
So the song starts off pretty simple. A tower was made that breached the sky, this tower was being built to get to what amounted to heaven. The first time you go up you find a fun place, the second time you go you do so mainly to indulge than have fun. The third time you go you find a place that you never want to leave. The music is pretty simple but fast, showing a bustling and thriving community climbing the tower quickly.
The second verse is where it starts to pick up though. It turns out the tower is one made of sins. As it describes as the tower breaches the clouds, there is a passage to hell being dug at the same time. The last half of the verse describes a man "who failed to entertain our demons wishes" and so he fell off the tower. So they buried this man underground and then kept 'raising hell'.
The music is more intense than the first verse, but it really picks up in the chorus afterwards.
The third verse talks specifically to the man who fell, as it says 'youre the one who broke your promise.' which suggests this is the same man who fell and was promptly buried.
It describes how its awful to be alone, and helpless as 'your blood overflows.' Then puts the blame('its not my fault, honest') to the man for breaking his promise. This is a bit of a leap but i interpret this as some sort of proclamation to god. 'This is your fault this tower is being built.' Which makes sense as this would support the second verse being about how the tower was made with sins. So instead of having god give these people permission, the people who felt betrayed and alone turn to sin and try building a tower to heaven to force their way into paradise.
Now then the bridge, and we get to the fourth verse.This is where interpretation starts splitting paths. 'one day a rainfall struck making prismatic colors striking us with awe' the second half talks about drinking the rain and becoming addicted to its pleasure. So this can be interpreted as either blood or wine, im going with blood but wine would still have the same message, just a different pathway to it. With blood it suggests that people started making this tower out of either slaves(literally) or by killing to get what they want, both would make sense as in the video the tower is now made of corpses and not bricks. Showing a transition from smaller sins to full blown taking peoples lives away from them. Keep in mind that the singers voice in this version of the video gets deeper each verse.
Fifth verse supports fourth verse, the higher the tower and the higher you go, the more the rain pours,making you more and more addicted to the lifestyle you have taken in climbing the tower.
The sixth verse has a sense of no going back. The people can see heaven pretty much('our job is almost done'). The last line of this verse being 'we cant decend unless we prefer to die'. The people in this story were so wrapped up in their sin that if they were to realise the horrors of what they were doing and try to escape it, they would just end up being killed by the people who helped them get there in the first place.
The seventh verse is much darker. Showing the people who are still climbing and how much they end up speaking like monsters. 'More rain, please i need to drink it all. I want it all, quench my thirst for pleasure.' The final line of this verse showing how they are doing this for themselves: Hurry up and build so i can be appeased.
Verse Eight. We hit the climax, and as soon as we were inches from heaven all hell breaks loose. A bird flies to the tower and breaks it down, destroying everything. This shows how the sins end up catching up to the people who commit them.
Verse nine. Describes how the people higher up the tower end up falling harder. But even the people at the bottom of the tower had to run away from this collection of sins breaking down, 'Men, women, and children all fled to survive'. People who didnt even take part in this tower were being harmed and punished by the deeds and sins of those who did.
Verse 10: The music suddenly goes back to the calmness of the first two measures. Revealing how years passed since the tragedy occured, and that there were still people searching for the same pleasure that they experienced before. Soon enough someone finds a piece of treasure and studies it. And concludes that the only way to get the same pleasure... is to climb again.
Then the final chorus plays. Revealing how this tower wasn't just a single incident, but its something that gets built again and again for the pleasures and sins of man in an attempt to reach heaven. And failing again and again, destroying the people climbing it and those around the tower. In an endless cycle of horror.
*tl;dr: a very happy song that shows the highlights of man and their devotion to god*
You did a great job with that, I think it's exactly right. You have to resist the temptation of interpreting the tower as representing something immediate and specific (drugs/pleasure-seeking, a totalitarian regime) to see the more fundamental reading as a kind of modern retelling of the tower of babel, perhaps built out of a sense of having been wronged by the structure of existence and wanting compensation, no matter whether the methods by which one gets it are themselves unjust. The cycle of rebellion against the divine created by this mindset is a self-rolling wheel, and so the tower will be built again and again until people learn to value not doing injustice over being compensated for the injustice they have been subjected to.
Im not surprised that your concept about them building a tower to heaven. They had something similar like this happened in Bible where people decide to go and build the tower to heaven but God didn't like it so he broke the tower and made everybody speak in different tongues so that way they can't work together to make another Tower again
@@Tavibear I believe you're talking about the Tower of Babel?
capitalism, got it
I wouldn't say it was their devotion to God. I would say it is their selfishness to seek more and more pleasure while still being very sinful. They no longer think of God, they only think of "oh how great heaven will be and what we will find in it! How great we will feel in it!"
花たんさんの声色の変化の仕方が好き過ぎる
I don't know who does the vocals but she's my god from now on
+Beste Karataş the singer is called Hanatan / 花たん
It's Hanatan ;p
mood.
türk beklemlemiyodum buralarda dicem 5 yıl geçmiş
Hanatan
nobody is talking about the instrumental
theyre all talking about the lyrics and vocals
so…
the transition into more a techno more shows that this society is advancing, allowing them to build the tower more efficiently. at the end it regresses, showing that with the destruction of the tower, they lost all of the technology that came with it
idk, just my interpretation
this is the most profound interpretation of this song ive ever seen. well fucking done.
I never thought about it thats interesting!

ある日大きな塔が立つ
雲の上まで続いてる
長い行列作っているよ
みんな笑顔で続いてる
登れ 進め 高い塔へ
一つ登れば遊園地
二つ登れば歓楽街
三つ登れば地上の楽園
降りるお客はおりません
登れ 進め 高い塔へ
雲の上まで登ります
地獄の建設現場です
鬼のしばきに倒れた男を
埋めて固めて建設中
登れ 建てよ 高い塔を
さみしいよ苦しいよ 悲しい血潮が溢れ出す
餌に釣られて 二度と戻れず
下から一切見えません
ある日不思議な雨が降る
見たこともない七色です
甘いお味を一口飲めば
幸福快楽溢れます
登れ 進め 高い塔へ
高い場所ほど雨が降る
高い場所ほどたくさん飲める
忘れられないあの味を
一滴だけでもまた欲しい
幸せな雨が欲しいから
人をしばいて建てさせます
早く建てよ高く建てよと
気付けば人間埋める側
登れ 進め 高い塔へ
建てよ 進め 高い塔を
幸せ幸せよ 楽しい気持ちが溢れ出す
高く建てれば独り占め
下には二度と降りません
幸せ幸せよ 嬉しい気持ちが止まらない
雨よ雨よもっと降れ
早く建てよ私のため
建てよ 進め 高い塔を
建てよ 進め 高い塔を
高く建てすぎた細い塔
血肉で出来た脆い塔
崩れます 崩れます
大きな鳥がぶつかった
高いところで暮らすほど
粉々になってしまいます
命からがら逃げ出すよ
女子供とボロボロ男たち
なんにもなくなりました
月日が経ちました
遺跡をあさりました
気になるものありました
それは
幸せの雨の化石
賢い頭で調べます
どうやら雲の上に
幸福快楽溢れているようです
建てよ 進め 高い塔を
建てよ 進め 高い塔を
登れ 進め 高い塔へ
登れ 進め 高い塔へ

Come on guys let’s get kikuo to 1M
hana isn't a human she's an angel and you can't prove me otherwise
no, hanatan is a goddess
@@definitelynotayoutubechann8595 A goddess singing about us pathetic earthlings
@@je4a301 us weakling earthlings that is fulfilled with greed.
Isn't she a volcaloid?
Idk why but this reminds me of that story in the Bible where humans were trying to build a tower to god, but since they were getting too far up god knocked it down and made them all speak different languages, so they couldn’t communicate and continue building the tower. And that was the Bible’s explanation for why people speak different languages.
I can’t even remember where I heard that story but this strongly reminds me of it for some reason (even though the actual story of this song is probably different.)
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
The tower of babel :)
we on the same braincell even though this comment was from a year ago :0
@@ProbablyPoe omg yrs
Kinda, just this one is about human greed and the babel one is about god being bitch who dont wants people to be good with each others and reunite for a common goal lmao
The more I listen to this song, the more it feels like a reprimand of capitalism. We Build and Build, trying to get upward in life. Trying to make it so people have more and more. But the tower can't hold up that much weight forever. The world can't handle it forever. And eventually it will come tumbling down. And when it does, the only resources left to try and rebuild, will be parts of the old tower. So might as well make a new one. After all, it's all we know.
capitalism demands two things: infinite growth and the exploitation of those under you. it's fine though, because, you, too, can be rich.
nevermind that it collapses everytime infinite growth can't be met
why not build multiple towers then instead of combining them into one?
i love how she changes her voice for every person
バベルの塔が元ネタ？ 人の傲慢さが分かる花たんさんの歌い分け素晴らしいです…

この歌聞いてると人がどれだけ貪欲なのか分かる気がする。
still hoping and praying for a kikuohana act 3. I know every kikuohana song and I need more lmao
OMG SAME I NEED MORE KIKUOHANA RIGHT NOW
this comment is way too real since the second act was in 2017
やっぱ何度聞いても最後ぞわぁってするw
they really couldn't resist the gay rain
I love how Kikuo makes songs sound so nostalgic, without actually being nostalgic. It's probably because of the accordion (I had a sub teacher in elementary that played the accordion), for me, or the "childish", and melancholic aesthetic to these songs.
Honestly, I kind of miss it in his newer songs. I still love his recent musical experimentation though
これ1枚の絵やん？スゴい
I’ve been a kikuo fan for years. In my opinion this is the best song they have made. I love a lot of their other songs but I doubt any will too this one. It’s everything I love about Kikuo in one song. Hanatan’s vocal talent is put on full display here (this is also probably the best songs she has sung as well) and the instrumental does an excellent job painting a full picture of the story the song is trying to tell. It also has a simple but beautiful looking music video that fits the song perfectly. Omg this song is just so good!
怖い怖い怖い怖い(((
これ一番鳥肌立ったわ……
For everyone who doesn't get it, this song is about the endless cycle of human greed.

Its so hard to hate Kikuo's songs
Reminds me of the statue “Monolitten” in Frognerparken in Norway. It’s like a tall and huge statue of people stacked upon eachother
The cycle continues
