I think this song just want to show people to love the earth more. To stop the war, to create world peace. To protect it and not destroy it. To stop what we've been doing to the earth. Because what we do will destroy the human race too
Tbh, i think this song is about the metaphor "the future is in your hands", there are scenes from other songs in it, but to me, it comes off as Len is seeing all the terrible things that could happen to humanity, the final shot of him hugging the earth is a representation of "the future is in your hands."
4:53 🎶he's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole wide world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands.🎶
I remember posting a comment explaining a theory I had that seemed plausible, but that was 5 years ago and I'm not going to bother searching through 5 years worth of comments to see if it makes sense now lol
We live in a time of insolence and take things for granted. This is what humanity has come to now. May this song teach all of us something important and hit us with feels.
I saw this video years ago and came back here after just seeing the last episode to the Attack On Titan series. The last scene with the tree as well as the words about war Eren talked about immediately reminded me of this. As this video shared its own unique meaning, I will always love the powerful and compelling message given ❤
Did you know that they had to sign a contract where it said specifically that their songs HAD TO BE salable? I mean, that was the cost of their fame. I love vocaloid too, but you can't write those thing without knowing anything about the problems One Direction had to deal with. No artist is comparable.
This song flashed in my mind after all these years and i just had to rewatch it. It still shakes me to know that this is kinda the same universe as prisoner/paper airplane
The lyrics of this song, or the translation of them anyway, are really phenomenal and deep, and I loved seeing the plot of this song progress. As a musical piece it left a little to be desired in some areas, but kudos nevertheless.
I would assume that it was something about escaping, like "I'll hold the door open, so go!" Whatever he said made Len jump out, so I'd guess it was some sort of motivation to go.
3:11 Am I seriously the only one who noticed that Len was starting to cry after seeing the second event?! I mean the poor boy was being forced to relive the most horrific events of his past lives!! If I had been there, I would've given Len a great big, comforting hug and said "Please don't cry, Len. Everything's gonna be okay."
And every year it means more and more to me, always makes me cry and always reinvigorates me towards change! The ending is so important for everyone to really listen to, this isn’t the world we want and we must stand up for change!!
I LOVE the PV. The animation is top-notch for a fan PV. (and near the standard for commercial anime, definitely better than Star Pro or Anime Friend Macross episodes) As for the song I loved it too. But this combined with A Faint Wish and Utopia.... it's like a sci fi epic saga that goes across time itself.
Joshua Vargas It's not a fan pv. This producer has used collaborative pvs before, the ones that come to mind are Prisoner, Paper Plane(s) and Chivalry, along with Utopia and A Faint Wish.
***** It has nothing to do with Mothy. This song isn't even by the same producer. However yes, there are other works that have featured Len in dresses or more feminine wear.
Plenair Mascot though technically speaking I'd say Faint wish is the last since that's the one that leads into the loop going back to new millenium and explains it. its like Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 in a way
The reason we see the most crucial parts of our life is so that we can learn from our mistakes,don't worry too much...it's not always embarrassing. The general life review will be like a brief glimpse of your life, the "crucial parts" means whatever event that was most SIGNIFICANT in your life - such as whatever that had changed your life forever or changed others' lives forever. (I'm just saying, from my experience..) It's something like "The Five People You Meet in Heaven".
Len, I remember when I was new to vocaloid..only listening to Miku, and i saw one video with you in it, I thought you'd be awesome before i clicked the video...LEN KAGAMINE, YOU ARE THE REASON I STILL LISTEN TO VOCALOID!!! :D
I think this song represents how humanity is in a way 'afraid' to seek peace so they destroyed it with war and death. But Len goes through time and helps people see the light of hope. He then puts an end to all conflict throughout history. Thats what I think.
i just realized that the len who's inside the elevator from the beginning might not be the faint wish len actually, instead the len who opens the door before it closes and talks with first len before he jumps out would be the faint wish len
i cried and had goosebums T-T this song is so sad , because its the reality , but only when we see it all together in this video vi realise that its really depressing ToT
People ask me why I love Vocaloid? THIS is why I love Vocaloid. All there songs have important meanings & each song touches my heart. Sometimes I even cry, which is a hard thing to get me to do. That's why I love Vocaloid.
@MizuSuzume This is part of a 4 part series, the order is New Millenium, Utopia, Faint Wish, New Millenium. This is talking about how he's riding the elevator and seeing all the pasts of human nature, and "How Doomed Humans Are". He sees a boy in a country (of course they resemble them lolz...) and its during war, then Miku (elevator Girl) won't let him out explaining its how he lived his life. He eventually sees a man in the future and the city he lives in is getting bombed w nukes.
A lot of people think the set cycles, but I'm not so sure about that. At the end of New Millenium, it actually says "end" at the bottom corner, which are not on the other two vids.

Best ACT 1 use besides Fortune Diver, I must say.
A comment that's 8yo saying this is old school tells me Im so old

This was uploaded 10 years ago but I still sometimes come back to listen to it
same 😌
14 yrs n we still 🔛🔝
In short... Len saved the world by turning the nukes into flowers
+Blaze_ The MAD Hatter - He's a real "Peace Walker" isn't he? LOL.
+MinionOfDeth2112 looooooooo
I would rather turn the nuke into tacos or pancakes tho ._.
I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY THIS SONG ISN'T MORE FAMOUS.

Anastasia Leppy yeah, we should turn the nukes and guns into flowers!
.
I am still riding this fucking elevator..
Ive just unlocked a memory of me being invested in this storyline as kid.... this comes after a faint wish no?
a faint wish -> shinseiki -> utopia. It should be that
4:53 🎶he's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole wide world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands.🎶

(I'm late) hands up for a feature allowing us to immediately access our comments on a video
Same tbh
We live in a time of insolence and take things for granted. This is what humanity has come to now. May this song teach all of us something important and hit us with feels.
Len Kagamine: god of flowers!
Is it weird that I laughed when Len jump off on the elevator?? XD Len was Like"FUCK THIS SHIT IM OUT" LOLZ
+Gamergirl Ikr ^._.^
+Gamergirl Someday I wanna ride this elevator.. but I won't jump but I'll push The elevator girl off ._.
IM GOING BACK TO THIS FOR A NOSTALGIA TRIP AND IM CRYING ITS BEEN AROUND 8 YEARS
Anuraxan it's weird knowing that vocaloid has been around this long!
I saw this video years ago and came back here after just seeing the last episode to the Attack On Titan series. The last scene with the tree as well as the words about war Eren talked about immediately reminded me of this. As this video shared its own unique meaning, I will always love the powerful and compelling message given ❤
People ask me why I like Vocaloid more than One Direction, and I ask them if they've ever written a song that was deeper than a kiddie pool.
EXACTLY!!!
+Lilac Gemani Even Vocaloid instrumental is deeper than them.
Did you know that they had to sign a contract where it said specifically that their songs HAD TO BE salable? I mean, that was the cost of their fame. I love vocaloid too, but you can't write those thing without knowing anything about the problems One Direction had to deal with. No artist is comparable.
@@Kennyphoenix it's true! I made this comment when i was young and didn't quite know what was up with things
@@lilacgemini4820we still can't lie that this is a banger of a song even if we grew past it
This song flashed in my mind after all these years and i just had to rewatch it.
It still shakes me to know that this is kinda the same universe as prisoner/paper airplane
YES! if you think of any other icons from that era leave a comment! This is my favorite hands down for the message 😝
Is it just me, or does Miku's voice sound extremely nice in this song?
It's just you.
Kagamine Len is life Obviously not since someone agreed
Kagamine Len is life By the way your profile pic is adorable.
YES
The lyrics of this song, or the translation of them anyway, are really phenomenal and deep, and I loved seeing the plot of this song progress.
As a musical piece it left a little to be desired in some areas, but kudos nevertheless.
And here we are after this time. Back to listenin this song.
Miku, what kinda life you livin'???
*Transforms into Len*
....Len, what kinda life YOU livin'?!?!
People hate vocaloid yet they dont know the real meanings and stories of the songs.
VOCALOID IS BEST THING IN THE MUSICAL WORLD
Axellion 45 especially when Len is in a dress!!!!
I wonder what the Len in a dress said to the other Len :0
I would assume that it was something about escaping, like "I'll hold the door open, so go!" Whatever he said made Len jump out, so I'd guess it was some sort of motivation to go.
Same but I think that maybe the other Len said something like "You could still change the past, so go out of the door I'll hold it for you."
perhaps he said there is still time do it now
hou mou yep probably..
ELEVATOR LEN:"FCK OFF YOU STUPID TALKATIVE SHT'
LEN: K ._. "FCKS OFF (JUMP OFF THE ELEVATOR"
PS: PLS DONT HATE ME
This was the first vocaloid song I listend to...instantly hooked
I bet Len's claustrophobic...
lol,true,lets call len to say if yes! XD
really,idk if its an fucking fan or yamaha its fucking creating Google+ accounts with names of Miku Hatsune,Len Kagamine and Rin Kagamine...
3:11 Am I seriously the only one who noticed that Len was starting to cry after seeing the second event?! I mean the poor boy was being forced to relive the most horrific events of his past lives!! If I had been there, I would've given Len a great big, comforting hug and said "Please don't cry, Len. Everything's gonna be okay."
I don't know why but every year I come back to this song
sAME LMAO
And every year it means more and more to me, always makes me cry and always reinvigorates me towards change! The ending is so important for everyone to really listen to, this isn’t the world we want and we must stand up for change!!
0:58 Did anyone else notice Rin sitting on the rock?
I love how shes always right there with len
It was getting good but I couldn't take Len seriously with the dress on xD
I LOVE the PV. The animation is top-notch for a fan PV. (and near the standard for commercial anime, definitely better than Star Pro or Anime Friend Macross episodes)

Joshua Vargas
Majority of the video is 2-frame animations and stills.. but it is nice for a vocaloid video.
The end always makes me feel happy/sad. I LOVE THIS SONG!!
Soooo Len became God in this video
no ._. He just hugged the Bowling ball thingy
i love the meaning to this song and seeing old len is amazing too hehe
I liked this for one reason, and one reason only: Len in a dress.
that was a funny sight XD l feel srry for him
...I think that's from Servant of Evil
The saddest song ever
Treewhisker :3 No, I'm pretty sure Rin's dress in that song was yellow... can't remember though XD
Her dress is yellow and black :D
I just noticed, at 1:13 , if you listen closely you can hear small screams. Well that just makes that scene more traumatizing.
Does anyone else think there were two artists for the video?
2018 and still listening to this.
This elevator is the god of durability
love this song tbh
This is what happens every time Len dies.
These are one of the best songs I've ever heard :3
wait, so Len's wearing a dress?
*****
story of evil reference?
Serena Shane Not really, this has nothing to do with Mothy's story of evil.
happyforme1111 *Facepalms*
***** It has nothing to do with Mothy. This song isn't even by the same producer.
However yes, there are other works that have featured Len in dresses or more feminine wear.
Every song has a story. Some more obvious than others, some harder to see. But every song has a story. That is why I love Vocaloid.
Nobody:
Absolutely Nobody:
Len: Oh I'm a god now
WHAT DO YOU BY MEAN 15 YEARS AGO???
This song involves the first real Doctor Who. I can't tell you how or why, but you'll see :^)
This was amazing!!
Anyone 2021...?
:)
Meee!
This is the first vocaloid I ever watched :3 I loved it!
If only someone would do an english dub of this song... That'd be so awesome
and spanish one
I didn't like this song for its strange sound, but now... After genocide and wars, this story hits...
i thought this was the final chapter of the song trilogy?? it makes more chronological sense if you ask me.
Plenair Mascot it can both be the final and the beggining. with time travel involved it very well works as both
You do have a point there.
Plenair Mascot though technically speaking I'd say Faint wish is the last since that's the one that leads into the loop going back to new millenium and explains it. its like Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 in a way
this song and series got me hooked on VOCALOID.... And made me a Len fangirl
Flowers Fix Everything! Right?
***** I know I was joking
+Vocaloid Kathrine Smith
Sure.. o-o Sure... *Quietly hides Flowey*
Yes...
Except one...
*cough* Flowey *cough*
-Ja the hype-
Ja a very good job
That what I thought, I just couldn't put it into words. Good Job!
At least he's not clausthrophobic
and Len gets the power to rewrite history and correct our wrongs... this is why Vocaloid is awesome
Gakupo was sleeping on Luka, do I sense a new ship??
Secret Sisters new? that ship has been there for ages
JamesCraft251 a new ship for me
I love this song, it has such a beatiful meaning
The part about the rich boy reminded me of Hiroshima... Q~Q
***** ...I wouldn't say "lol" to a tragic event like that...
...Senpai...? YOU'RE FORGIVEN NAOW~!
This is so beautiful...
Does anyone even watch this?
Well, you watch it don't you?
And you watch this, as well. It is nice to know that some people do view this chronical of un-living appoclypse.
DetectiveRackham
And, one month later I listen again.
DetectiveRackham
You know sense we are watching stuff like this it means I'm not the only otaku here!
Emily Gill I'm also otaku!!
I would consistently vibe to this song in 2011
The reason we see the most crucial parts of our life is so that we can learn from our mistakes,don't worry too much...it's not always embarrassing.

Aaah what the crap. I actually got shivers watching this. It's hounestly quite beautiful.
Out of all of the vocaloid Len is my favorite
You did an awesome job! This is too amazing to describe! X3
Len, I remember when I was new to vocaloid..only listening to Miku, and i saw one video with you in it, I thought you'd be awesome before i clicked the video...LEN KAGAMINE, YOU ARE THE REASON I STILL LISTEN TO VOCALOID!!! :D
ima still come here, i dont care. My life does move on but i cant move on with vocaloid
such pretty music
Omg I love this story
amazing song
Len looks good:
-as a kid
-as a war kid
-as an adult
-in a dress
This music is amazing!!!
I think this song represents how humanity is in a way 'afraid' to seek peace so they destroyed it with war and death. But Len goes through time and helps people see the light of hope. He then puts an end to all conflict throughout history.
Thats what I think.
i just realized that the len who's inside the elevator from the beginning might not be the faint wish len actually, instead the len who opens the door before it closes and talks with first len before he jumps out would be the faint wish len
this just made me cry at the end dunno y. len looks so cute at the beggining and the ending
The instrumental version of this was played in "A Faint Wish".
Its okay, welcome back ^.^ -Brohoof-
BROOOO THIS IS *SOOOO* OLD. I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST-TIME AAAAAAAAAA
i cried and had goosebums T-T this song is so sad , because its the reality , but only when we see it all together in this video vi realise that its really depressing ToT
dang. that was deep.....this has a very good message
everyone should really consider watching it.....

story of the world.... len u are just ata amazing!
Loved it .This video remembers me a dream i had once
Awesome
nostalgic as fuckk
This song and Paper Plane make me cry. Every time.
A faint wish tells you how he got into the elevator.
@MizuSuzume This is part of a 4 part series, the order is New Millenium, Utopia, Faint Wish, New Millenium. This is talking about how he's riding the elevator and seeing all the pasts of human nature, and "How Doomed Humans Are". He sees a boy in a country (of course they resemble them lolz...) and its during war, then Miku (elevator Girl) won't let him out explaining its how he lived his life.

There's a really sweet story here.
LUV THE SMILE!
this song is so aawweessoommee!!!
your logic astounds me XD
Why do I love this song so much?!
@MythicalCreature03
You are right it even says in the series that Faint Wish is first
This song is one of my faves from Len's, >.< the chorus is just so catchy!
A lot of people think the set cycles, but I'm not so sure about that. At the end of New Millenium, it actually says "end" at the bottom corner, which are not on the other two vids.
