yep, no matter how many times I hear this song it absolutely wreaks me. In 2020 a friend of mine was home from deployment, he was found in his apartment just 3 buildings down from me. in 2016, my baby brother. He was still 14 and Mom was in the next room. Depression can make life so dark that it makes us blind to all the lights around us, and can even make it so we cannot even see the light inside ourselves. This song is a good reminder that there is still lights out there. RIP Chester Thank you Zen
Zen, I know you probably aren't going to read this, but my birthday is tomorrow, and I remember that I got tickets to a Linkin Park concert for my birthday when this album originally came out. I was so excited and ready to sing my heart out, but Chester died a month before the concert. I just wanted to say thank you for giving Linkin Park fans a cover of this beautiful song and making my 21st birthday extra special.
The song that made 20,000 people cry live during the stream. So beautiful. So many people struggle with life, and so many needed to hear this. I did. Thank you, Zen.
Same zicky. Last night really further solidified my belief that Zen is truly a beacon of goodness in this world. This community, Zen, the geckos, all of Vshojo, have really made me feel at home, I don't think I've ever felt that way. So thank you all for being such beautiful humans. I appreciate every single one of you.
As a army veteran turned fire fighter, and a caretaker of family member of dementia. I didn't realize how bad I needed this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Zen!
The fact that this was released on a Monday, and statistics often show the highest number of… well… “attempts”… on Monday’s, is perfect timing and the song is very uplifting~! ❤
I won't lie: I was never a huge Linkin Park person, and Chester was never a huge influence on me or my life... but I'll be damned if I denied either of their influence on others, and now their work moves me to tears.
This song.... It came just right in a time I'm at my weakest. Almost a year ago, I lost someone dear in the vtuber community... A friend I took for granted. Three weeks ago, I had a death in my family... My father. A loss that hasn't hit me until recently. Never thought this resumse that feeling of hope for those who thought all is lost... This is the one song I had to listen to... And I accept this gift. Thabks for the wonderful cover, Zen. ❤️🩹
Zen might be the world’s most chaotic prankster to her friends, but every once in a while, right when we need it, she’s also a big softie who’ll move mountains to help you. Thanks Zen. Thanks to everyone in VShojo. This was an absolutely wonderful cover.
Made me cry pretty hard ngl. Can't imagine how cathartic this is for everyone. Hard thing about being an effective healer is you're kind of like a mechanic that everyone waves goodbye to, when you heal thier lifelong pains and just feel left in the dark. Thanks for letting us know someone cares Zen. Goes without saying I care greatly for ya too, from the nosebleed seats there's a tiny candle waving. XD
This was very unexpected as were the tears that followed. What an amazing cover. For most of my life Linkin Park's music has meant the world to me. After Chester's passing this song has always been a reason to stay and to keep going. This song in particular has helped me in my worst moments and helps me to feel like I'm not alone. Chester would truly have been proud of this. Thank you.
I don’t know why, but as soon as the chorus hit that first time and seeing and hearing everyone, I just started crying to the music. Because seeing the images throughout the video of the fan interactions from the VShojo girls, made me remember seeing all of those videos and clips of Linkin Park fans getting emotional meeting the band, and the lyrics themselves hit me with remembering the emotions I had when I first heard the song and all of that.
I can't remember the last time I listened to a song so powerful and beautiful, I had to shed tears because of it, especially after reading that message at the end of this video. This was beyond the most amazing thing I've had the honour to watch and listen so far in my life, and I want to thank you for the bottom of my heart Zen for being such an amazing person. You and all the other Vshojo members (current and even previous) have truly helped make my life so much better than what I thought was impossible. Never stop being amazing, Zen and happy birthday 🎂
So I've listened to this a few times It hits every single time I had tickets to watch Linkin Park for the first time and unfortunately Chester passed before I got to see him live It's been hard to listen to there music since but this cover makes me want to listen to them again and hear Chester's voice Happy birthday Zen, this cover is beautiful and glad you shared it with us
Being 100% honest, that message at the end broke me. Even putting aside my longtime love of Linkin Park, this has been one of my go-to songs for me whenever I was feeling down. Bravo, Zen. You’ve certainly done Chester proud with this cover
One More Light is probably the one song of Chester's that I absolutely adore, but I can never bring myself to sing it. Hearing this in your voice, with everyone else in Vshojo, gave me that one light that I thought went out. And I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful for you, and all of Vshojo. Thank you, Zen, and happy birthday. Rock on. 💜💜
I believe everyone needs to listen to this cover to remind themselves that even through all the bad times, you will always have support out there. It could be from family members, to local communities, and even communities around the whole world. If your not going through bad times, you can support everyone going through hard times, even if you don't realize your helping someone, just you being in the world will help someone in need. Either from very small gestures throughout the day, being an example of someone to look up to, etc. Amazing Cover and Happy birthday Zen!
I knew my friend was having a hard time when we were teenagers. They were battling with identity problems, and me and the others in our circle always told them we loved them no matter what they chose. That friend used to confide in me alot, and try to talk to me more than most. I wish so badly that I had been more observant and noticed anything really wrong. I wish I had been there for them when they needed me the most. They just....disappeared offline one day. We never saw them again, until we heard the news weeks later. It's only because of this song that I finally let that repressed pain hit me. I wish I would've been a better person, to be able to see how much they were hurting then. Things might've turned out differently. All we ever wanted to do was laugh and play games and have fun together online. I never could've imagined i'd lose a friend like that, and it's absolutely heartbreaking imagining how alone they felt at that time. I wish I could've just popped through their screen and known how much they needed a hug. To have someone there that made them feel like they mattered. Treasure your loved ones and every moment you get with them. It will never last forever- and you don't want to regret missing out on time with them.
i can relate to your friend. but mqy he forever be in ur heart. one day youll be able to see them again and be there for them. sorry again for your loss.
Chester death took almost 5 years for me to get somewhat over, i could not litsen to their music for the longest time. i was when i was moving out and found they cd's i had that i sat down and listen to them again, and One More light as always hit hard, to the point i still cry when ever i hear it. This made me cry alot thank you Zen and i wish you a happy birthday.
Amen to that mate when I lost my mom in 2016 I felt like my whole life was just lost but through the support I had from my friends and family I was able to move on though not with out scars
This is so beautiful. Really awesome cover, it made me tear up and the message at the end broke me. Zen you are really a pillar of Vshojo. Like Chester, you give so many people strength and you are the voice people need the most. Great edit work too, the 4:3 ratio at the beginning, the real fan pictures, the art style, showing all of them from behind and the single fan in the front that turned into a million at the end. 20/10
Zentraya-Senpai, thank you and Vshojo for doing this. I honestly have cried as Linkin Park really helped me get through life as a kid. For years, no over a decade, I didn't even know what to do. But I have a new goal in life now: Entertaining people and make them laugh. I decided to get ready to become a Vtuber myself. I have to get the necessary equipment though first. One of my goals is to one up with the dad joke cringe, Zen. You likely won't see this, but thank you and every other Vtuber for showing what I can do.
What a beautiful cover Zen. It was truly a touching tribute as well as a powerful (and positive) statement that every life is unique, important and irreplaceable. Thank you for the lovely song (as well to everyone else who was involved with the production)! I hope you have (or are having) a Happy Birthday! ❤🙏
I cried in the original, I cried in this one. Thank you Zen. It was beautiful and you and all the Vshojo girls are amazing and deserve love and kindness
It's said that we shouldn't focus on material things to keep ourselves together, but years ago when I seriously considered "walk left, exit stage" the only thought that hold me was "... But there are so many games I hadn't experienced yet..." That was around 12 years ago, and everytime I see such powerful messages like this one it reminds me that as unforgiving and selfish this world is, there's still something worth fighting for out there.
@pmprestes Sometimes in our darkest hour, we desperately cling on to something to keep us going. It doesn't have to be deep or meaningful. There was a time when I was considering, and the thought that helped me through was "I haven't gone to Shinedown this year" and it was enough. If it helps you get through, then it's not meaningless
No matter how many people pass us by, we remember them. It's a beautiful gift to enjoy the moments why they last in this life, because we never know when that journey will end.
I lurked here from zen's story about her papa and mama dragon then to her birthday video with the vshojo group where every one was crying. Never knew I would be very invested of the vtuber community. Love this community.
I thought I was going to make it without crying, but the last screen broke me... I have had three close friends attempt, and nothing prepares you for it. Even if they don't succeed, the emotional journey is far from over and you need to be there for them, no matter how tough it may be. But... Not everyone makes it. I lost one. I didn't want to move for a week... Hell, typing this now has me mentally stalled. If you (whoever you may be, reading this) feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I assure you it is there, I even found it for myself, and you have friends who would move mountains if they could to help you see another day. Zen, I guarantee that this song will help other people realise that there is always a reason to live. You'll likely never even know who they are, but you will have helped save them. Chester would be proud of you, you should be too... Thank you Zen!
Like I said on Twitter, I'm gonna be feeling this one for a while... The original song gives me the feels - this beautiful cover causes me to break down in tears, every time. It's beautiful, Zen. I knew, when you mentioned you were going to cover it a couple months back, that it was going to hit right in the feels...but you took it to another place, beyond what I could have imagined. 💖 And the message at the end...I know I've needed to hear it for a while, and I know that so many also need to hear it, because it's true. I'm sure a lot of us have been pushed to the brink, as have I... Thank you for caring.
I enjoyed this a lot. Every single shred of content that I see from Zen is some combo of interesting, entertaining, funny, or endearing. It's amazing to me when I think about how Zen's personality is SO appealing that she has garnered such a huge and loyal fanbase without even using her real voice. I think that fact alone should leave her no room to doubt how valued she is by so many. I wonder if she processes just how many people are in love with the core of her being. I wonder if it would be exhausting to process. Thanks for everything so far Zen! I love what you do and who you are.
As someone that has been the light that is being extinguished too many times I cannot even count them all anymore I'm not going to tell anyone going through those times to "Stay Strong" because those words are empty when you feel that way...All I will say is please just talk to someone you love and trust when you feel that way I know you feel like no one wants to hear it and no one cares but if you talk to someone...anyone you will find their are more people than you realise that do care if one more light goes out. Please talk you are not alone and you are loved everyone one of you.
I actually cried listening to this. Linkin Park's music was immensely important to me growing up, and losing Chester all those years ago felt like losing a friend. I'd slowly managed to stop tearing up to the original One More Light, but hearing the chorus in this just broke the dam. This is an amazing cover Zen, you should be so proud of yourself.
This song means a lot to me because LP was the first band I ever really got into going all the way back when Hybrid Theory came out and also because it felt like it was speaking directly to me at a time when I really needed to hear the words. Hearing you and the other VShojo girls sing the lyrics moved me to the point of tears because I can feel how much you care and I can tell you mean every single word. It's not only an amazing tribute to the late Chester Bennington but a genuine heartfelt message to those who are hurting and have let dark thoughts creep into their head. This hits me in the most personal way because of people close to me who've considered, because of the people I've lost and because a couple of times, I got close too. I know that you've felt a lot of this pain too so I want you to know I'm so grateful that you're here with us Zen because your heart is too big and your soul is too beautiful to not be.
I normally don't watch these vtuber song covers (or any cover in general) . But outta respect for Chester i had to give this a listen. Also much respect for zen passing on Chester's message to her community. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Zen and all the girls. You did this song justice. Just know- for everyone. You are loved. You are unique. You are You, and there's only one.
From everyone enduring those gthoughts, thank you Zen and VShojo for taking the time out of your lives to reach out and show compassion and love for others. it will not be forgotten.
(uncontrollably sobbing) Damn it Zen, it's too early in the morning for these kind of emotions! Really though, this was lovely and beautifully preformed, I loved every second of this song, thank you.
Chester and the bands music saved me when I was younger, I will always remember were I was when I found out and how much it emotional destroyed me. It took me months to be able to finally listen to they're music again and each time I do I'm always reminded how much what I went through when I was younger. If it wasn't for music that Linkin Park made and the messages in the songs different meanings, I would have given up a long time ago and never saw past the age of 23. But here I am now 34 and happy I got help. Thank you Zen for all the laughs and great streams and for reminded each one of us that we matter.
Thanks zen you and the vshojo peeps helped me way more than y'all think sometimes staying alive was just a question of not missing next stream. I don't care if it sounds para social but thanks for keeping me alive and now I'm doing way better I got the help I needed. Chat don't forget to get help y'all are not alone and y'all are loved.
Such an amazing song! hits me hard in the right place zen, I'm so happy to have come across Zen's streams, been a blast since I tuned in, much love to her and all the hard work she puts in
Beautiful, Zen and the rest of vshojo did amazing. Didn't expect to be crying my eyes out, this makes me miss my mom so much. It was the anniversary of her passing a few days ago so this hit really hard.
I’ve been a fan of Linkin Park since childhood. On the day I graduated high school, the news came out about Chester and I was devastated. To see that you had that same amount of love I had with this cover makes me want to cry all over again. Thank you for all you do Zen. You brought my childhood back to me
Chester would be proud hearing this cover Zen, thanks for the massive love from your heart. You are rly loved by the Community, never think otherwise ❤ until the end.
I don't know why, but i like to imagine the voice we hear behind Zen's is the ACTUAL Zen's, genuine without the filter. For some reason that makes this song hit 10x harder. It may just be me overthinking it, but still
Damn... Here I am... Crying. Good cover to a legend who left us. What's ironic is I don't think I ever listened to the original. Him and the rest of the Lincoln Park songs were all so good and memorable. I wish nothing but the best for anyone who reads this. Never lose hope, you still have your life... There will only ever be one you... Damn ...
Absolutely, 100% true. For the past several months I myself have been one of those homies, hanging on by a mere thread. The efforts of friends and family sending a simple "hey, how's it going?" has kept me going. So.... thank you Zen, thank you geckos, and thank you everyone else for being present. Sometimes "imposing" on someone else's time and space is needed. Much love to all, and rock on ❤🤟🤘
I'm actually crying my eyes out right now. Linkin Park got me through the darkest moments of my life growing up, and when I was ready and did try to take my own life several times. Chester made me feel so understood when no one else, not even my own family, would listen to my desperate cries for help to be saved from all this pain. He is my hero, and I miss him so freaking much. I wouldn't be here today living the best moments of my life and finally knowing what happiness is had it not been for him. Thank you Chester, Mike, and all you amazing people behind these amazing tracks for everything. And thank you Zen and gang for such an amazing cover of such a moving song. All of are freaking amazing, and I love all of you so freaking much. 🤘🖤
Thank you Zen. This was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I think I'm not the only one who needed to hear and read this. Be kind to yourselves. It'll be okay. We'll be okay.
It’s ok, take my heart. I didn’t need it anyway. Dropped when my depression was hitting a peak, it comes and goes and you never know if it might be the one. I guess I’m trying to say you might have saved my life.
This is fantastic, Zen. Thank you so much for this. It pulls at the heartstrings so hard. Makes me miss my friend so much. Its already been 10 months since cancer took him. His memory will live on in me forever. As will the continued memories you help us all create ❤
It's 2024, and I still can't believe he's gone...LP was such a big part of my life growing up and one of the only bands I would have wanted to go watch live when i got older.
I've been struggling alot recently and this song made me cry. Only Zen would post a song telling others theyre important on her own birthday. You're truly one of a kind Zen
I have not been able to catch anyone in a stream for too long and... and something told me tonight to go look and I saw Zen's birthday stream and I had the joy of hearing this song... I was talking to a friend the other day saying I wish I could hear all the songs that I will love like some sort of cosmic playlist with every song I will hear and love in my life. Sometimes I feel so alone but things like this song which stir the soul and the heart are the nectar of life and oh to drink just one more drop before our light goes out. Love you Zen Happy Birthday
Zen, the power behind this song is nothing less than extreme. Chester would be proud of this cover for sure. This was nothing short of perfect. This song has gotten me through a lot of dark thoughts. Thank you
That was beautiful. I can’t believe it’s gonna make 7 years next month. Rest In Peace Chester. We may not have been able to help you in the end… but you made a lot of people’s childhood a little brighter thanks to your music. Rest easy, brother.
Its still wild that hes not with us anymore I briefly was in.a LP fan club and was following em and looking forward to a Texas concert when he passed and they were so huge in my life since I was in Jr high and one of my first groups I listened to
the fact this video hasnt reached 100k, yet is criminal this deserves 1M at least i wish youtube counted the views of replays cause ive listened to this on repeat since it dropped
Idk if itwas on purpose or not but may is mental health awareness month and as someone that doesn't make social connections or every get to know people, i get sad when i notice a fellow chater disappears. So always remember i care if one more light gose out. i don't think i can be happy, so please continue to laughs and cry with your community's. Just seeing that is enough for me, be my sky of a million stars and I'll try my best too
Zen cares about you even if you don't care about yourself. Can we take a moment to appreciate what an amazing trait that is and how great that makes her? How does someone even grow to this level?
So... I haven't listened to any version of this song since I think 2020. That was way back when I would listen to the most depressing/emotional music I could to force myself to cry just so I could be under the illusion of feeling something. I haven't touched a lot of the songs I listened to back then in a long time because of the painful memories they contain. But this felt like a reminder of how far I've come. I just got out of one of the biggest declines in mental health I've had in a few years, so that reminder of how far I've come since the days of wringing myself dry of all tears is very welcome. It's crazy to think that, the last time I listened to this song, I wasn't sure if I'd make it even one more week, much less make it to the point where I've seen all my friends graduate high school and I'm next up. Stay strong, everyone. Just like the song says, if your light goes out, there will always be at least one person to notice, and one person to care about it. Keep that light on for them and for you.
Some days are way harder than others and I feel lost and feel like I don't know what to do anymore. Then a reminder like this comes along once in a while and it feels like i can start over again. Thank you.
I said thank you on Twitter, but again thank you for being a light to others Zen and the girls too. Y'all help keep our lights lit when life tries to snuff them out.
This made me cry and took me back to the time I first discovered you. I was in a bad shape, to say the least, but thanks to some random ass video of you; I pushed through. I sincerely hope that this video may have the same result in saving many lives, as you've saved mine! Happy birthday, Zen. I wish you nothing but all the best and all the love in the world! You deserve to have all of your dreams come true! To you, lovely reader: know that you are loved. Loved by MANY. More than you know. You're so much stronger than you think, even though you may doubt yourself or are struggling right now: we love having you around and there's always someone out there that would want nothing more than spending time with you and being a friend, through and through! You are NEVER alone! Love you all for being you! ❤
I heard this song yesterday July 5th and I was in a pretty bad head space. After I heard this, I didn't feel so angry anymore and I'm sure it kept me from doing something I would have regretted. This song helped me a lot. Thank you. You and the rest of this Vtuber family are awesome.
It doesn't matter who sings this song for me. it always grounds me and reminds me that i matter to someone, even if i don't know how much. I've seen too many friends leave without being able to say a last goodbye. I don't want to do that to the ones i love.
as someone whos whole childhood was LP and also fell into a very bad state of depression after hearing about chester i love this , this is amazing and shows how important community is even if it is online
When you posted your first cover, I remembered your comment on Linkin Park’s video for this song, and I had the feeling that we’d one day hear your own version of it. I’m glad you brought everyone together for this one. The world is an isolating place, and it’s important to be reminded that we are not alone
It's so beautiful and also it hurts more than the original song. All of you really knew how to put it all together and make it a pretty good and awesome cover. I never expected that some vtubers or well, the vshojo crew came together to sing a linkin park song, i really love it and cried pretty good, Thanks Zentreya for making us remember Chester and Thanks you and the VShojo crew for creating this awesome and beautiful cover. I send a hug for the VShojo crew that listened to LK, and to all of us in the comment section.
I'm so scared of my future right now, because I've been kicked out of school, shoved in a mental health center for something I didn't do, and just coming back to something that reassures me that it's not just me in this problematic life, gives me hope that we all can pull through this. If I had a final wish to do something. It would be to meet all Vshojo talents. Thank you, and rock on.
You picked a very attainable goal for yourself to live for. You should pick a few more while you're at it. You don't have to do everything but just imagine this whole world of possibilities and things to do knowing you can do them.
Update on my School situation, they (without telling me or my family) black listed me and they now have me as a terrorist on school record. I can't be on high school property, even if I just want to wait for my friends to get out of school for the day and hang out with them after. It has technically been a year since the incident and before I was done with group therapy last year they said that I was 'allowed back after my birthday' which has already passed (Sep 29th, currently Oct 24th.) I was supposed to be a junior this year>:'(, but thankfully God has been helping me, and teaching me how to forgive those who've hurt me mentally, and emotionally. Besides I'm finally able to watch Zen (the second VTuber I've watched) on twitch. Hate to admit it, but I've been watching Vtubers before I was ever 16, 17, or 18. Truth is I found you through Tricky (the first VTuber I've watched), who I found through Markiplier's 'smash or pass Pokemon' back in I think 2020-2021 I wish I could remember. All this to say that I'm sorry Zen, and that I will continue to rock on. Thank you God for saving me. And thank you Zen for reading. Rock On!!!!
This song makes me break down every single time i hear it. And as soon as everyone starting singing, i lost it. I really loved this cover. Thank you for making this. Rest in Peace Chester, he saved so many lives, including my own.
Happy birthday Zen! I've loved LP since high school, and was broken when I heard the news about Chester. I'm not doing so well, so this gave me a long overdue cry. So thank you, and everyone deserves to be here❤
A truly beautiful cover, Zen. To you and everyone who sang this tribute to Chester... thank you all! May we keep all our little lights alive and show how much we care and love each other, for we are never alone. ♥
As a lurker who usually never comments I’d like to say that this is genuinely so beautiful purely because of the personality tied into the message of the song. The only reason it hits so hard is because the beautiful message portrays perfectly through a badass that we all know is our big softie. Thank you
Thank you for making this. i cant count how many times ive heard this song and its helped me through some of my worst spots in life. i truly appreciate everyone at Vshojo for taking part in the legacy this song has and being apart of this place we call home. R.I.P Chester, we've got it from here. thank you Zen for making this.
Thank you for being here and doing this. I'm not in a great place right now, but you and the othe vshojo folks are really helping me hold on, and keep reminding myself that tomorrow doesn't have to be the same as today. The world's a really hard place, but you guys are helping me find a way through it all. Thank you Zen

A bit late to the party 😆

RUclips translates this comment to ZEEEEEEEEE
Honored to work on this, thanks for having me produce something so meaningful to you and hopefully many others 🌟♥️
yep, no matter how many times I hear this song it absolutely wreaks me.
In 2020 a friend of mine was home from deployment, he was found in his apartment just 3 buildings down from me.
in 2016, my baby brother. He was still 14 and Mom was in the next room.
Depression can make life so dark that it makes us blind to all the lights around us, and can even make it so we cannot even see the light inside ourselves.
This song is a good reminder that there is still lights out there.
RIP Chester
Thank you Zen
Virtual hug, bro
Zentreya:(singing)
Chat:(crying) beautiful.....just beautiful
Zen, I know you probably aren't going to read this, but my birthday is tomorrow, and I remember that I got tickets to a Linkin Park concert for my birthday when this album originally came out. I was so excited and ready to sing my heart out, but Chester died a month before the concert. I just wanted to say thank you for giving Linkin Park fans a cover of this beautiful song and making my 21st birthday extra special.
Happy early birthday
Zen liked the comment. I can die happy
HBD!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
I'm glad your comment is at the top, you matter
@@Bwizzle45 wait, was it really at the top when you clicked on the video?
The song that made 20,000 people cry live during the stream. So beautiful. So many people struggle with life, and so many needed to hear this. I did. Thank you, Zen.
Not ashamed to say I was one of them.
I have been in tears all day even at work. The love from this song is everything.❤
What happened? What Livestream?
@@Harm0niWAV Zens birthday stream last night, there was a lot of feels flying around.
Same zicky. Last night really further solidified my belief that Zen is truly a beacon of goodness in this world. This community, Zen, the geckos, all of Vshojo, have really made me feel at home, I don't think I've ever felt that way. So thank you all for being such beautiful humans. I appreciate every single one of you.
As a army veteran turned fire fighter, and a caretaker of family member of dementia. I didn't realize how bad I needed this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Zen!
The fact that this was released on a Monday, and statistics often show the highest number of… well… “attempts”… on Monday’s, is perfect timing and the song is very uplifting~! ❤
I won't lie: I was never a huge Linkin Park person, and Chester was never a huge influence on me or my life... but I'll be damned if I denied either of their influence on others, and now their work moves me to tears.
The Fact that they did it with the VShojo crew. It makes it more meaning ful . Thanks Zen for such a lovely rendition.
This song.... It came just right in a time I'm at my weakest.
Almost a year ago, I lost someone dear in the vtuber community... A friend I took for granted.
Three weeks ago, I had a death in my family... My father. A loss that hasn't hit me until recently.
Never thought this resumse that feeling of hope for those who thought all is lost... This is the one song I had to listen to...
And I accept this gift.
Thabks for the wonderful cover, Zen. ❤️🩹
Zen might be the world’s most chaotic prankster to her friends, but every once in a while, right when we need it, she’s also a big softie who’ll move mountains to help you.
Thanks Zen. Thanks to everyone in VShojo. This was an absolutely wonderful cover.
Made me cry pretty hard ngl. Can't imagine how cathartic this is for everyone. Hard thing about being an effective healer is you're kind of like a mechanic that everyone waves goodbye to, when you heal thier lifelong pains and just feel left in the dark. Thanks for letting us know someone cares Zen. Goes without saying I care greatly for ya too, from the nosebleed seats there's a tiny candle waving. XD
This was very unexpected as were the tears that followed. What an amazing cover. For most of my life Linkin Park's music has meant the world to me. After Chester's passing this song has always been a reason to stay and to keep going. This song in particular has helped me in my worst moments and helps me to feel like I'm not alone. Chester would truly have been proud of this. Thank you.
I don’t know why, but as soon as the chorus hit that first time and seeing and hearing everyone, I just started crying to the music. Because seeing the images throughout the video of the fan interactions from the VShojo girls, made me remember seeing all of those videos and clips of Linkin Park fans getting emotional meeting the band, and the lyrics themselves hit me with remembering the emotions I had when I first heard the song and all of that.
I can't remember the last time I listened to a song so powerful and beautiful, I had to shed tears because of it, especially after reading that message at the end of this video. This was beyond the most amazing thing I've had the honour to watch and listen so far in my life, and I want to thank you for the bottom of my heart Zen for being such an amazing person. You and all the other Vshojo members (current and even previous) have truly helped make my life so much better than what I thought was impossible.
Never stop being amazing, Zen and happy birthday 🎂
So I've listened to this a few times
It hits every single time
I had tickets to watch Linkin Park for the first time and unfortunately Chester passed before I got to see him live
It's been hard to listen to there music since but this cover makes me want to listen to them again and hear Chester's voice
Happy birthday Zen, this cover is beautiful and glad you shared it with us
thank you for your honour of Chester, miss him everyday still.🥺
Being 100% honest, that message at the end broke me. Even putting aside my longtime love of Linkin Park, this has been one of my go-to songs for me whenever I was feeling down.
Bravo, Zen. You’ve certainly done Chester proud with this cover
One More Light is probably the one song of Chester's that I absolutely adore, but I can never bring myself to sing it. Hearing this in your voice, with everyone else in Vshojo, gave me that one light that I thought went out. And I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful for you, and all of Vshojo.
Thank you, Zen, and happy birthday. Rock on. 💜💜
I believe everyone needs to listen to this cover to remind themselves that even through all the bad times, you will always have support out there.
It could be from family members, to local communities, and even communities around the whole world.
If your not going through bad times, you can support everyone going through hard times, even if you don't realize your helping someone, just you being in the world will help someone in need.
Either from very small gestures throughout the day, being an example of someone to look up to, etc.
Amazing Cover and Happy birthday Zen!
I knew my friend was having a hard time when we were teenagers. They were battling with identity problems, and me and the others in our circle always told them we loved them no matter what they chose. That friend used to confide in me alot, and try to talk to me more than most. I wish so badly that I had been more observant and noticed anything really wrong. I wish I had been there for them when they needed me the most. They just....disappeared offline one day. We never saw them again, until we heard the news weeks later. It's only because of this song that I finally let that repressed pain hit me. I wish I would've been a better person, to be able to see how much they were hurting then. Things might've turned out differently. All we ever wanted to do was laugh and play games and have fun together online. I never could've imagined i'd lose a friend like that, and it's absolutely heartbreaking imagining how alone they felt at that time. I wish I could've just popped through their screen and known how much they needed a hug. To have someone there that made them feel like they mattered. Treasure your loved ones and every moment you get with them. It will never last forever- and you don't want to regret missing out on time with them.
i can relate to your friend. but mqy he forever be in ur heart. one day youll be able to see them again and be there for them. sorry again for your loss.
Chester death took almost 5 years for me to get somewhat over, i could not litsen to their music for the longest time. i was when i was moving out and found they cd's i had that i sat down and listen to them again, and One More light as always hit hard, to the point i still cry when ever i hear it.
This made me cry alot thank you Zen and i wish you a happy birthday.
“Some days are… harder than others… but that’s why it’s good to have friends… and to remember. There’s always a light, in the darkness.”
Amen to that mate when I lost my mom in 2016 I felt like my whole life was just lost but through the support I had from my friends and family I was able to move on though not with out scars
i agree with that, but sadly not everyone has friends, or well true friends
This is so beautiful. Really awesome cover, it made me tear up and the message at the end broke me.
Zen you are really a pillar of Vshojo. Like Chester, you give so many people strength and you are the voice people need the most.
Great edit work too, the 4:3 ratio at the beginning, the real fan pictures, the art style, showing all of them from behind and the single fan in the front that turned into a million at the end. 20/10
Zentraya-Senpai, thank you and Vshojo for doing this. I honestly have cried as Linkin Park really helped me get through life as a kid. For years, no over a decade, I didn't even know what to do. But I have a new goal in life now: Entertaining people and make them laugh. I decided to get ready to become a Vtuber myself. I have to get the necessary equipment though first. One of my goals is to one up with the dad joke cringe, Zen. You likely won't see this, but thank you and every other Vtuber for showing what I can do.
You got this!
For Chester, and everyone else suffering from mental illness.
What a beautiful cover Zen. It was truly a touching tribute as well as a powerful (and positive) statement that every life is unique, important and irreplaceable. Thank you for the lovely song (as well to everyone else who was involved with the production)! I hope you have (or are having) a Happy Birthday! ❤🙏
I cried in the original, I cried in this one. Thank you Zen. It was beautiful and you and all the Vshojo girls are amazing and deserve love and kindness
It's said that we shouldn't focus on material things to keep ourselves together, but years ago when I seriously considered "walk left, exit stage" the only thought that hold me was "... But there are so many games I hadn't experienced yet..."
That was around 12 years ago, and everytime I see such powerful messages like this one it reminds me that as unforgiving and selfish this world is, there's still something worth fighting for out there.
@pmprestes Sometimes in our darkest hour, we desperately cling on to something to keep us going. It doesn't have to be deep or meaningful. There was a time when I was considering, and the thought that helped me through was "I haven't gone to Shinedown this year" and it was enough. If it helps you get through, then it's not meaningless
Shit dude. Didn't know I was gonna legit cry to this, but here we are. I only discovered you recently and ya introduced me to the rest of Vshojo.
No matter how many people pass us by, we remember them. It's a beautiful gift to enjoy the moments why they last in this life, because we never know when that journey will end.
For a rocker Toaster-Gecko, Zen always send us to a feels trip with her songs
I lurked here from zen's story about her papa and mama dragon then to her birthday video with the vshojo group where every one was crying. Never knew I would be very invested of the vtuber community. Love this community.
I thought I was going to make it without crying, but the last screen broke me... I have had three close friends attempt, and nothing prepares you for it. Even if they don't succeed, the emotional journey is far from over and you need to be there for them, no matter how tough it may be.
But... Not everyone makes it. I lost one. I didn't want to move for a week... Hell, typing this now has me mentally stalled.
If you (whoever you may be, reading this) feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I assure you it is there, I even found it for myself, and you have friends who would move mountains if they could to help you see another day.
Zen, I guarantee that this song will help other people realise that there is always a reason to live. You'll likely never even know who they are, but you will have helped save them.
Chester would be proud of you, you should be too...
Thank you Zen!
Like I said on Twitter, I'm gonna be feeling this one for a while... The original song gives me the feels - this beautiful cover causes me to break down in tears, every time. It's beautiful, Zen. I knew, when you mentioned you were going to cover it a couple months back, that it was going to hit right in the feels...but you took it to another place, beyond what I could have imagined. 💖 And the message at the end...I know I've needed to hear it for a while, and I know that so many also need to hear it, because it's true. I'm sure a lot of us have been pushed to the brink, as have I... Thank you for caring.
I enjoyed this a lot. Every single shred of content that I see from Zen is some combo of interesting, entertaining, funny, or endearing. It's amazing to me when I think about how Zen's personality is SO appealing that she has garnered such a huge and loyal fanbase without even using her real voice. I think that fact alone should leave her no room to doubt how valued she is by so many. I wonder if she processes just how many people are in love with the core of her being. I wonder if it would be exhausting to process. Thanks for everything so far Zen! I love what you do and who you are.
As someone that has been the light that is being extinguished too many times I cannot even count them all anymore I'm not going to tell anyone going through those times to "Stay Strong" because those words are empty when you feel that way...All I will say is please just talk to someone you love and trust when you feel that way I know you feel like no one wants to hear it and no one cares but if you talk to someone...anyone you will find their are more people than you realise that do care if one more light goes out.
Please talk you are not alone and you are loved everyone one of you.
I actually cried listening to this. Linkin Park's music was immensely important to me growing up, and losing Chester all those years ago felt like losing a friend. I'd slowly managed to stop tearing up to the original One More Light, but hearing the chorus in this just broke the dam.
This is an amazing cover Zen, you should be so proud of yourself.
This song means a lot to me because LP was the first band I ever really got into going all the way back when Hybrid Theory came out and also because it felt like it was speaking directly to me at a time when I really needed to hear the words. Hearing you and the other VShojo girls sing the lyrics moved me to the point of tears because I can feel how much you care and I can tell you mean every single word. It's not only an amazing tribute to the late Chester Bennington but a genuine heartfelt message to those who are hurting and have let dark thoughts creep into their head. This hits me in the most personal way because of people close to me who've considered, because of the people I've lost and because a couple of times, I got close too. I know that you've felt a lot of this pain too so I want you to know I'm so grateful that you're here with us Zen because your heart is too big and your soul is too beautiful to not be.
I normally don't watch these vtuber song covers (or any cover in general)
.
But outta respect for Chester i had to give this a listen. Also much respect for zen passing on Chester's message to her community. ❤❤❤
Thank you Zen for including us fans as a part for this MV. This means a lot to us❤
Thank you, Zen and all the girls. You did this song justice. Just know- for everyone. You are loved. You are unique. You are You, and there's only one.
As someone who has felt like their light is going out lately, I really needed this.
From everyone enduring those gthoughts, thank you Zen and VShojo for taking the time out of your lives to reach out and show compassion and love for others. it will not be forgotten.
(uncontrollably sobbing) Damn it Zen, it's too early in the morning for these kind of emotions!
Really though, this was lovely and beautifully preformed, I loved every second of this song, thank you.
Chester and the bands music saved me when I was younger, I will always remember were I was when I found out and how much it emotional destroyed me. It took me months to be able to finally listen to they're music again and each time I do I'm always reminded how much what I went through when I was younger. If it wasn't for music that Linkin Park made and the messages in the songs different meanings, I would have given up a long time ago and never saw past the age of 23. But here I am now 34 and happy I got help. Thank you Zen for all the laughs and great streams and for reminded each one of us that we matter.
Zen hitting you right in the feels
Thanks zen you and the vshojo peeps helped me way more than y'all think sometimes staying alive was just a question of not missing next stream. I don't care if it sounds para social but thanks for keeping me alive and now I'm doing way better I got the help I needed.
Chat don't forget to get help y'all are not alone and y'all are loved.
Love how Zen's discography varies so much, from country to metal to emotional pieces like this. Fantastic work! Keep on rocking!
Such an amazing song! hits me hard in the right place zen, I'm so happy to have come across Zen's streams, been a blast since I tuned in, much love to her and all the hard work she puts in
Beautiful, Zen and the rest of vshojo did amazing. Didn't expect to be crying my eyes out, this makes me miss my mom so much. It was the anniversary of her passing a few days ago so this hit really hard.
I’ve been a fan of Linkin Park since childhood. On the day I graduated high school, the news came out about Chester and I was devastated. To see that you had that same amount of love I had with this cover makes me want to cry all over again.
Thank you for all you do Zen. You brought my childhood back to me
This was so good. I loved this!
Just know, you are not alone. Always reach out to someone. You are loved and cared about.
Holy shit Zen, I'm trying not to tear up here.
I love ya Zen and all of Vshojo.
Chester would be proud hearing this cover Zen, thanks for the massive love from your heart. You are rly loved by the Community, never think otherwise ❤ until the end.
I don't know why, but i like to imagine the voice we hear behind Zen's is the ACTUAL Zen's, genuine without the filter. For some reason that makes this song hit 10x harder. It may just be me overthinking it, but still
Damn... Here I am... Crying. Good cover to a legend who left us. What's ironic is I don't think I ever listened to the original. Him and the rest of the Lincoln Park songs were all so good and memorable. I wish nothing but the best for anyone who reads this. Never lose hope, you still have your life... There will only ever be one you... Damn ...
Daily reminder: check on your homies. even five minutes of senseless yap can be an anchor for someone going through shit
Absolutely, 100% true. For the past several months I myself have been one of those homies, hanging on by a mere thread. The efforts of friends and family sending a simple "hey, how's it going?" has kept me going. So.... thank you Zen, thank you geckos, and thank you everyone else for being present. Sometimes "imposing" on someone else's time and space is needed. Much love to all, and rock on ❤🤟🤘
I'm always astounded by how Zen is able to convey so much emotion with her voice even if she's using a TTS/voice filter while singing.
I'm actually crying my eyes out right now. Linkin Park got me through the darkest moments of my life growing up, and when I was ready and did try to take my own life several times. Chester made me feel so understood when no one else, not even my own family, would listen to my desperate cries for help to be saved from all this pain. He is my hero, and I miss him so freaking much. I wouldn't be here today living the best moments of my life and finally knowing what happiness is had it not been for him. Thank you Chester, Mike, and all you amazing people behind these amazing tracks for everything. And thank you Zen and gang for such an amazing cover of such a moving song. All of are freaking amazing, and I love all of you so freaking much. 🤘🖤
Thank you Zen. This was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I think I'm not the only one who needed to hear and read this.
Be kind to yourselves. It'll be okay. We'll be okay.
It’s ok, take my heart. I didn’t need it anyway.
Dropped when my depression was hitting a peak, it comes and goes and you never know if it might be the one.
I guess I’m trying to say you might have saved my life.
Glad you're still here - you're stronger than your depression, the world needs you in it.
@@jack_shippo
I don’t know if it needs me in it, but there’s a couple of people that for reasons I can’t understand want me in it.
And that’s enough.
@@rustkarl Real. Daily existence is difficult, but I ain't gonna be the one to take me out of my family's lives. Good luck friend.
@@blackoracle16
And you.
@@rustkarl I want you in it - so add me to that list too.
Hang in there!
As soon as I realized what song this was I immediately broke down and sang along with your cover. Congrats and thank you Zen!
This is fantastic, Zen. Thank you so much for this. It pulls at the heartstrings so hard. Makes me miss my friend so much. Its already been 10 months since cancer took him. His memory will live on in me forever. As will the continued memories you help us all create ❤
It's 2024, and I still can't believe he's gone...LP was such a big part of my life growing up and one of the only bands I would have wanted to go watch live when i got older.
I can say this is one of the most heart-shattering yet beautiful songs I’ve heard and this cover really delivers the impact Zen.
I've been struggling alot recently and this song made me cry. Only Zen would post a song telling others theyre important on her own birthday. You're truly one of a kind Zen
I have not been able to catch anyone in a stream for too long and... and something told me tonight to go look and I saw Zen's birthday stream and I had the joy of hearing this song... I was talking to a friend the other day saying I wish I could hear all the songs that I will love like some sort of cosmic playlist with every song I will hear and love in my life. Sometimes I feel so alone but things like this song which stir the soul and the heart are the nectar of life and oh to drink just one more drop before our light goes out. Love you Zen Happy Birthday
Zen, the power behind this song is nothing less than extreme. Chester would be proud of this cover for sure. This was nothing short of perfect. This song has gotten me through a lot of dark thoughts. Thank you
That was beautiful. I can’t believe it’s gonna make 7 years next month. Rest In Peace Chester. We may not have been able to help you in the end… but you made a lot of people’s childhood a little brighter thanks to your music. Rest easy, brother.
Its still wild that hes not with us anymore I briefly was in.a LP fan club and was following em and looking forward to a Texas concert when he passed and they were so huge in my life since I was in Jr high and one of my first groups I listened to
the fact this video hasnt reached 100k, yet is criminal
this deserves 1M at least
i wish youtube counted the views of replays cause ive listened to this on repeat since it dropped
Idk if itwas on purpose or not but may is mental health awareness month and as someone that doesn't make social connections or every get to know people, i get sad when i notice a fellow chater disappears. So always remember i care if one more light gose out. i don't think i can be happy, so please continue to laughs and cry with your community's. Just seeing that is enough for me, be my sky of a million stars and I'll try my best too
❤🩹
Never give up, no matter what - you deserve happiness too, you truly do, and I hope you're able to find it one day.
Zen cares about you even if you don't care about yourself. Can we take a moment to appreciate what an amazing trait that is and how great that makes her? How does someone even grow to this level?
I couldn't help but tear up at the ending of the song. Great job with this, you guys are amazing.
So... I haven't listened to any version of this song since I think 2020. That was way back when I would listen to the most depressing/emotional music I could to force myself to cry just so I could be under the illusion of feeling something. I haven't touched a lot of the songs I listened to back then in a long time because of the painful memories they contain. But this felt like a reminder of how far I've come. I just got out of one of the biggest declines in mental health I've had in a few years, so that reminder of how far I've come since the days of wringing myself dry of all tears is very welcome.
It's crazy to think that, the last time I listened to this song, I wasn't sure if I'd make it even one more week, much less make it to the point where I've seen all my friends graduate high school and I'm next up. Stay strong, everyone. Just like the song says, if your light goes out, there will always be at least one person to notice, and one person to care about it. Keep that light on for them and for you.
Some days are way harder than others and I feel lost and feel like I don't know what to do anymore. Then a reminder like this comes along once in a while and it feels like i can start over again. Thank you.
I said thank you on Twitter, but again thank you for being a light to others Zen and the girls too. Y'all help keep our lights lit when life tries to snuff them out.
even before the song started, I started tearing up...
R.I.P Chester Bennington.
And thank you, Zen.
This made me cry and took me back to the time I first discovered you.
I was in a bad shape, to say the least, but thanks to some random ass video of you; I pushed through. I sincerely hope that this video may have the same result in saving many lives, as you've saved mine!
Happy birthday, Zen. I wish you nothing but all the best and all the love in the world! You deserve to have all of your dreams come true!
To you, lovely reader: know that you are loved. Loved by MANY. More than you know. You're so much stronger than you think, even though you may doubt yourself or are struggling right now: we love having you around and there's always someone out there that would want nothing more than spending time with you and being a friend, through and through!
You are NEVER alone!
Love you all for being you! ❤
I heard this song yesterday July 5th and I was in a pretty bad head space. After I heard this, I didn't feel so angry anymore and I'm sure it kept me from doing something I would have regretted. This song helped me a lot. Thank you. You and the rest of this Vtuber family are awesome.
It doesn't matter who sings this song for me. it always grounds me and reminds me that i matter to someone, even if i don't know how much. I've seen too many friends leave without being able to say a last goodbye. I don't want to do that to the ones i love.
as someone whos whole childhood was LP and also fell into a very bad state of depression after hearing about chester i love this , this is amazing and shows how important community is even if it is online
When you posted your first cover, I remembered your comment on Linkin Park’s video for this song, and I had the feeling that we’d one day hear your own version of it. I’m glad you brought everyone together for this one. The world is an isolating place, and it’s important to be reminded that we are not alone
It's so beautiful and also it hurts more than the original song. All of you really knew how to put it all together and make it a pretty good and awesome cover. I never expected that some vtubers or well, the vshojo crew came together to sing a linkin park song, i really love it and cried pretty good, Thanks Zentreya for making us remember Chester and Thanks you and the VShojo crew for creating this awesome and beautiful cover. I send a hug for the VShojo crew that listened to LK, and to all of us in the comment section.
LP means so much for me. Their music was there for me growing up. To hear my favorite Vtubers sing it has me all warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you Zen
I'm so scared of my future right now, because I've been kicked out of school, shoved in a mental health center for something I didn't do, and just coming back to something that reassures me that it's not just me in this problematic life, gives me hope that we all can pull through this.
If I had a final wish to do something. It would be to meet all Vshojo talents.
Thank you, and rock on.
You picked a very attainable goal for yourself to live for. You should pick a few more while you're at it. You don't have to do everything but just imagine this whole world of possibilities and things to do knowing you can do them.
@@TieDyeVT I also want to become a voice actor.
Update on my School situation, they (without telling me or my family) black listed me and they now have me as a terrorist on school record.
I can't be on high school property, even if I just want to wait for my friends to get out of school for the day and hang out with them after.
It has technically been a year since the incident and before I was done with group therapy last year they said that I was 'allowed back after my birthday' which has already passed (Sep 29th, currently Oct 24th.)
I was supposed to be a junior this year>:'(, but thankfully God has been helping me, and teaching me how to forgive those who've hurt me mentally, and emotionally.
Besides I'm finally able to watch Zen (the second VTuber I've watched) on twitch.
Hate to admit it, but I've been watching Vtubers before I was ever 16, 17, or 18. Truth is I found you through Tricky (the first VTuber I've watched), who I found through Markiplier's 'smash or pass Pokemon' back in I think 2020-2021 I wish I could remember. All this to say that I'm sorry Zen, and that I will continue to rock on.
Thank you God for saving me.
And thank you Zen for reading.
Rock On!!!!
This song makes me break down every single time i hear it. And as soon as everyone starting singing, i lost it. I really loved this cover. Thank you for making this.
Rest in Peace Chester, he saved so many lives, including my own.
Happy birthday Zen! I've loved LP since high school, and was broken when I heard the news about Chester. I'm not doing so well, so this gave me a long overdue cry. So thank you, and everyone deserves to be here❤
you know, I didn't think I would be saying this, but I definitely needed this... thank you for all that you do Zen.
Damn… If nobody else got me, at least I know this toaster got me…
Beautiful cover.
I can't help but cry every time I listen to this song. Thanks for the beautiful cover Zen and the rest of VShojo.
This made me cry.
There aren't many things that make me cry.
You, Zentreya, have earned my fullest respect today.
A truly beautiful cover, Zen. To you and everyone who sang this tribute to Chester... thank you all! May we keep all our little lights alive and show how much we care and love each other, for we are never alone. ♥
As a lurker who usually never comments I’d like to say that this is genuinely so beautiful purely because of the personality tied into the message of the song. The only reason it hits so hard is because the beautiful message portrays perfectly through a badass that we all know is our big softie. Thank you
The chorus with everyone got to me. nice job toaster
I have never heard this song but it got me misty eyed. And I loved the message at the end🥲
Thank you for making this. i cant count how many times ive heard this song and its helped me through some of my worst spots in life. i truly appreciate everyone at Vshojo for taking part in the legacy this song has and being apart of this place we call home. R.I.P Chester, we've got it from here. thank you Zen for making this.
First off i want to say a big thank you to zen,the girls of vshojo the whole production team and kuro for creating such an amazing cover
Zen out here bringing tears to my eyes with another beautiful cover.
Thank you for everything Zen. You are a true inspiration and a hero to many.
Thank you for being here and doing this. I'm not in a great place right now, but you and the othe vshojo folks are really helping me hold on, and keep reminding myself that tomorrow doesn't have to be the same as today. The world's a really hard place, but you guys are helping me find a way through it all. Thank you Zen
You got this!!!!
