![Who Wrote a Short Story That Seriously Disturbed a Teacher? | Dirty Laundry x Smosh [Full Episode]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bvHAy_rKoEI/mqdefault.jpg)
Her whole name, "Nanashi" "Mumei" can basically mean nameless/anonymous. A whole thing about her is that she's basically lived so many lives that she no longer remembers her old names, but is living this life.
(sorry hoomans if I got this wrong)
1 VERY minor correction. Afaik she hasn't lived many "lives", she has lived many "lifetimes". She's the Guardian of Civilization, so she has been alive since the very first moments of Civilization itself.
@@seighartmercury THAT WAS IT! Thank you, I know it was something along those lines
Also it can be read as Who Who.
Yup, her name is similar with the word
名無 : Nanashi
無名 : Mumei
she forgor
her name does mean "anonymous" or "nameless". throughout the entire song she references being nameless, a background character whom the world forgets, and if you notice the title of the song is "mumei", it isn't capitalized because it isn't her name, it's the word, "nameless". but in that last chorus, she says "i'll keep going, as Mumei", as a sort of hopeful acceptance of the way things are. it's a very melancholy song with an optimistic hopeful ending.
Since I haven’t seen anyone else mention it, her name can also be considered a pun. Anonymous and Nameless can both be interpreted as ‘Who?’ So, Nanashi Mumei can also mean Who Who. Owl pun.
I've never thought of that. Now it makes more sense that she's an owl. 😊
Oooo that’s cute especially since she’s an owl!!
Random Mumei Fact: She wasn't a singer before Hololive. She's only now taking singing and acting lessons and is doing great.
This song was sung by her at the annual Hololive concert in JP and she was really nervous because it was hard to sing/not having confidence and too much effect on her voice in the music video. But at the show the audience knew the difficulties of singing a song like that live and Mumei's effort. So in the middle of the show you can hear everyone shouting at her "You can do it, keep going" and the other side singing along with her. In Japan it is relatively rare for the audience to sing along because it is kind of disrespectful, but knowing that Mumei is not Japanese and wanting to help her, it was very magical and cute. She herself said this during a live stream after the show, when she was nervous but heard the audience talking and singing. She even let loose in the middle of the song. It's very clear. One of the reasons I love being part of this community. They really try their best and help each other out.
Now I wouldn’t go as far as say that she wasn’t a singer, her voice has been very good from when she first joined so she obviously already had practice, her previous persona also had and has multiple cover songs and a original song with Alohaii which I feel is much more than “wasn’t a singer before hololive”
@@Louis_2568 Being a singer and knowing how to sing are two different things. If you think about it that way, I'm an opera singer since I sing opera all the time in Bath. lol
@@ThiagoABarbosa well that’s obvious and I get what you mean but the impression I got when I read that was that you were saying she didn’t really sing at all before hololive so I added some clarification
And I again I have nothing against your opinion but comparing your singing in the shower to covers and original songs with hundreds of thousands of views feels like a pretty bad comparison in my opinion
@@Louis_2568 I think you're not trying to understand. Knowing how to sing and being a singer are two different things. It would be like saying that just because you have a driver's license you can drive an F1 car. They're both "drivers". Just because you know how to do something doesn't mean you're a professional or studying for it. She herself says over and over that she's not a singer.
@@ThiagoABarbosa I understand what you’re trying to say, I was just trying to explain my intent for my original reply, according to your definition she wasn’t a singer before hololive, that wording gave me the impression you were saying she didn’t at all before hololive, that misunderstanding has now been rectified, I fully understand the point you’re trying to make. I am not trying to deny your point just explaining what my intent was for my original comment
also, her name "nanashi mumei" literally translate from japanese to "anonymous nameless" its a refrence to how, as the guardian of civilization, her name becomes lost in the media that changes over the centuries, and she even forgets her own name so she decided to just have the name of being nameless
the best translation is Who? Who?
Howdy! Time for lore
Mumei chose her name herself as Anonymous (nanashi) Nameless (mumei) and theres quite a lot to it honestly! Mumei herself talked about it after this song came out, she was sometimes called by a teacher in school as "a shadow in a hoodie" kinda like she just blends into the background.
Lore wise Mumei is the embodiment of a concept, Civilization, just like her opposite in her generation Fauna is the embodiment of mother nature, Sana embodied Space while Kronii was Time, Bae is literal Chaos while Irys is Hope.
She has been around since the beginning of humanity and as such has forgotten more than anyone else has known, this is so she dosnt feel the pain of losing people anymore. So shes named her little friendly floating bag creature "Friend" and her pet "Animal" because as soon as she looks at them, instead of having to remember a name she will be like "Animal!".
She has lived so long that she dosnt even have her own name, but this song is her saying "No im not Nameless, i am "Mumei" "
Edit: After this song came out, one of her fans made a adventure platformer in this art style!
1:51 huh. Fun thing is one guy made platformer based on this MV. Game called Nameless.
Gotta check this out 😮
That's a cool game. Now i want to play again
oooo i need to check this out now!! 😂
@@glutenfreebagel Nameless by SK_Jynx
In my opinion, this is indisputably the best best character piece out of all Hololive MVs. Mumei (both the streamer and the song) are truly treasures.
And, yes, her name means nameless, unknown, anonymous, to be determined, unknowable..It depends on context.
Fun Fact : Mumei did talking about what inspired the visual in this song is what her experience of loneliness in the past because she is quiet and reserved person so people around always see her as a shadow figure in the hoodie.
As all the comments before me said her name mean Nameless Anonymous, in her lore she is Guardian of Civilization and live so long human and herself already forgot the name so this song is in a way tell her origin story.
I saw a vid of you reacting to Holotori dance and was like "Her model is really cute, they way it moves is bouncy and her personalty is vibrant and sweet, she has a lovely voice and her laugh is one of those infectious ones that once you hear it it just makes you smile and laugh too". I watched a few of your other vids and you got yourself a new Sub. Well......actually......I'm somehow already subbed to you but never saw you in my feed......so I'm a returning sub that can't remember subbing 😅? It must have been a short I watched and I subbed for that......either way I'm looking forward to more content in the future. Keep up the good work 🥰.
this is such a beautiful song. one of the really subtle things thats difficult to notice, is that if you pay attention to the lyrics written in the MV, in every verse except teh last, when calls her self Mumei, it translates them as 'nameless', but the very last one, instead of calling herself nameless, the english lyrics instead say 'I am Mumei'. it's her accepting it as her name, and no longer being nameless
Mumei is actually a really great singer, but in a low-key way. She's not flashy like Elizabeth or Nerissa, but she has a wonderfully delicate voice that has a ton of expression.
And if you like weird/creepy, Mumei is definitely your girl. Like Haachama, she has a very weird side to her that we love. She can come up with some disturbing stuff that's offset by her cuteness. Makes for an interesting combo.
You explain it well about her singing. I agree that there's something special about it. It's not that she has powerful voice, insane range, or great technic. But it's just so touching.
This song caught a lot of people off-guard when it came out. Mumei is a beautiful singer, and along with the art direction it really resonated with fans.
Mumei is a treasure, one of the single most adorable and terrifying characters in Promise.
Mumei means nameless or anonymous, she doesn't remember her name. She has a bag companion named Friend and a pet named Animal, so... all names she doesn't have to remember, because she forgets things.
This song definitely gives off Porter Robinson vibes. You should definitely check out the clip when she talks about the song and lyrics, and how the lyrics relate to her growing up even talks about her name.
As many confirmed both Mumei's name and surname mean Nameless/anonymous.
It's tied into her Lore, since she is the Guardian of civilization she has the knowledge of civilization ever to exist, inevitably the amount of knowledge and her longevity has made her forget stuff to the point of even forgetting her own name.
Now onto the song, my favorite theory is that in it Mumei is at a point where a great civilization went extinct,(and that is why she travels around what seems to be ruins,) a civilization she forgot about, and now as the Guardian of civilization she is looking for something she forgot about, namely humans using her lantern(much like diogenes the cynic did)who create civilization, and as slowly humanity starts to reappear and progress Mumei comes closer to find what she was looking for until she finds it, and at that point she puts her lantern down, for she no longer needs it.
I think she leaves the lantern behind; to guide other souls lost in the dark, so they too can find their way home.
A fan actually made a platformer game based on this music video that Mumei played on stream. The game is simply called mumei like the song.
The first time in the songs that she says mumei, she's basically saying I have no name. The second is I am nameless, and the final time she says I am mumei is her acceptance of the name mumei.
Fun Fact:
In approximately two hours it will be one year since that song's release.
You definitely need to react to the clip "Mumei shares her experience with loneliness" next. It's from her aftertalk for this song, and it hits hard
I think the game you were trying to think of might be Omori, or at least that’s what the art style reminds me of. Speaking of games, someone made a fan game based on this song called “nameless” and Mumei streamed it!
There is actually a whole breakdown of her song because she did a stream after releasing this where she shared her experiences of loneliness which is somewhat what this song is about, if you are interested there are clips channels that put it together or there is her stream
In my still limited experience with the Hololive girls so far all the members of Promise (the official unit Mumei is from) love to sneak in puns here and there, their mascot names by each member are:
Hakos Baelz-Brats (she’s a rat vtuber and Chaos by lore)
Ouro Kronii-Kronies (Warden of time by lore)
Ceres Fauna-Saplings (keeper of nature by lore)
Irys-Irystocrats (Nephilim of hope)
Also the graduated member of Council (the unit mumei debuted with consisting of the promise members except Irys)
Tsukumo Sana- Sanallites (by lore she is speaker of space)
i 'm always crying wactching this mv ..
Nanashi Mumei roughly translates to Anonymous and Nameless respectively, the song mumei is about Mumei's feelings of loneliness from before Hololive if I remember correctly
PLEASE WATCH MYTHS BAD ENDING, its a hololive fan animation about holo-en myth
But before that, she needs to understand the "entities" that they are. And also know that it was because of this fan change that Amei gained the visual effect of crossing time/space.
@@ThiagoABarbosaOof, just getting the basic lore of Bad Ending is a deep dive. But it's such a good fan project.
@@ivanpetrov5255They say they are soldering to see if they can remake it with the girls' voices and everything. I don't know if it went ahead or if they gave up. Even because he released in X that he was seeing if he would do the continuation. The entrance of the council and why Sana had to leave the cosmos. (The idea would be that the INA entity and Sana were in resonance and were breaking the line of dimensions) Or something like that... He still says he's just in ideas... But I find it interesting
@@ThiagoABarbosa Personally, I'm against a voice-over version. This will push the background music and the sound effects to the side. It's perfect the way it is.
One of my absolute favorite song
You are also right it's got the vibe of Owlcity and also Peter Robinson style
The lyrics are actually dual in meaning, as they reflect both Mumei, the character, and Mumei the person behind the avatar.
In terms of the character, Mumei is a physical concept of 'Civilization'. Basically as humanity gathers, forms communities, culture, etc, Mumei's personality and identity is filled in. As civilizations collapse, Mumei forgets and returns to a blank slate. That's why in the MV, at the start you just see a hooded figure with two eyes and no discernable features, and the lyrics actually use the word 'mumei' interchangeably -- at first as 'nameless', and then as her name, Mumei. In that same instance, she also gains a face and an identity again.
From the vtuber side, Mumei conceived this song as representing her innate loneliness growing up (one thing she mentioned is that as a child she was described as a shadow in a hoodie, much like her depiction in the MV), as well as the fact that as a vtuber, she exists because of the fans. Without the Hoomans there can be no Nanashi Mumei, and thus it's both appreciation for them, and a somber acknowledgement of how fleeting an existence it can be to be a vtuber.
Song gets me teary eyed every time.
The song has strong “Shelter” vibes, I feel. Definitely one of my favorites out of Hololive. Mumei’s voice, the rhythm… it’s just a good song.
Mumei is one of my Oshis in HoloEN.
I connected to Mumei more because of her personal stories. Like how she was called a Shadow in a Hoodie...
I call her the Hidden Diva of HoloEN.
Thank you for watching the song. It is very emotional for me.
If you like spooky vibess, You should look up Mumei's famous scary face drawing!! You'll love it!
Or play Holocure 😂
Ceres Fauna's Let Me Stay Here is another good HoloEN song
As everyone already gave explanations on Mumei's name Ill just recommend songs by her by how they feel
A New Start (original) - Adventure
Dillema (cover) - Pop vocaloid cover
Dan Dan Don Don (a cover of Dandan Chikaku Naru) - Cute meme filled cover with references
The Forgotten Song (Cover) - An underrated beauty of a song that lives up to its name of being forgotten
Ant Observation (Cover) - real spooky and creepy
Her theme of being forgetful is so apt with her name "Mumei" which basically means "nameless." And a small factoid. She has a paper bag mascot named "Friend" because she keeps forgetting his name, so she decided to just settle with calling him what he actually is to her. A friend.
I think you'd also enjoy another Hololive bird vtuber Nerissa Ravencroft. She has an amazing voice and has some amazing songs and covers.
I would like to suggest 'My Song' by Tsunomaki Watame from Hololive JP's 4th Generation! It has a lovely MV and impactful lyrics! I really enjoy your reactions!
YAAAAAAAY another Class S song to react to! I'm so glad to see you do this one! This song always gets me right in the feelz.
So you like birbs
and spooky vibes
You NEED to watch more of Mumei
she can be downright terrifying if she decides to be
You were saying that this song reminded you of something that you couldent quite place. I always had that thought myself until i remembered the song Shelter by Porter Robinson, because they sound prety similar to me.
If you liked mumei, then you'll probably like her debut song "A New Start". It's really good and has an adventure vibe
As others have said, Mumei does mean "nameless". In addition to the lore stuff it is also a pun on her being an owl, her name being unknown or "who?"
So happy you watched this one! Its one of my favorites! I think the song definitely has an emotional element.
I wonder if what you were being reminded of was the song Shelter by Porter Robinson & Madeon? Not in terms of the look, but the sound. If you just meant the look, maybe you were thinking of the game Limbo?
One of my favorite songs from my Oshi! Glad you liked it!
I highly recommend watching Inugami Korone's originals. Also Marines Unison is a real trip.
Glad you reacted to Mumei. The hawk vtuber from Holotori Dance also has some excellent songs by the way. I especially recommend Evil Eye Wink and HoloHawk, but all of her originals are really good.
1:00 cute bouncy chikins
Also the art style looks like Limbo in my opinion 😆
The art style for this video reminds me a bit of The Blind Prince and the Liar Princess. I think that was the title.
For another bird member song, I would recommend Sip Some Tea by Pavolia Reine. She is a peacock from the ID 2nd branch
Maybe the game you're thinking of is Limbo, it's a platformer puzzle game with the same art style.
A mix of Limbo and Ori.
Her ass is NOT paying attention 😂
Like pretty much everyone has mentioned, Mumei’s name translates to “Anonymous Nameless,” but there’s also an alternate translation that becomes “Nobody No one,” which is somewhat more melancholic, as one implies that she can’t remember her name anymore, if she ever had one, and the other implies that she doesn’t WANT to remember her name.
3:05 owl city vibe, she’s an owl. Nice pun tho
A part of me thinks that this song is an indirect reference to Sana who had to leave Hololive before her first anniversary due to personal reasons.
I would suggest listening to her only song that she made "Astro Girl" it has that early Hatsune Miku vibe.
If you haven't reacted to it yet.. Who's Toxic, it's you by Moona Hoshinova is great.
another fun fact that song has a fan made game! its like that game Hollow knight! T^T
Something about this MV reminds me of Child of Light (game) but I can't tell exactly why.
🦉 Loving your videos! If you are ever up for a longer vid then you should check out Kureiji Ollie's Hololive Special MEDLLIE. Its a mashup of her singing a bunch of the other girls songs and she got art of her dressed as all the other girls. Its super cute and really well produced. Don't forget to turn on CC for translations, too!
Anyways, thanks for another great reaction. Looking forward to your next video~
Both of her names mean that. Nanashi Mumei is a name she chose for her feeling apart and unseen in her younger life.
Her name can be traduced as "No name" (Nanashi) "Nameless" (Mumei).
You have such a nice voice.
Hello! Can you react to "The Ballad of Jane Doe" by RafScrap? We in the start of the spoopy times. So time for some creepy songs, kinda. Lol
The artist I've seen this compared to the most is Porter Robinson. Definitely got that sort of vibe
The art it feels like similar to "sky: children of the light" game
Reminds me of Hollow Knight the artstyle!!
"nanashi" comes from "na" which means name, and "nashi" that means without, so nanashi means without name, or don't have a name.
And mumei comes from "mu" which means nothing, and "mei" that is another word for name, so mumei is no name, or nameless
You are probably thinking of Hollow knight
also, both Mumei and Nanashi mean Nameless or something of similar meaning.
Being black and off white probably makes it more Limbo inspired but the character design is very similar to hollow knight
it reminds me of the musical style of porter robinson.
As for the platformer you are thinking of, could it possibly be "Hollow Knight"?
May I recommend you to react to an anime ending song from a hololive v-tuber, Mori Calliope. The song's name is go getter. It's Suicide Squad Isekai ending song. She released the full MV of it on her channel for a while now, and I think it's pretty cool. 😊
Kinda looks like Hollow Knight so that might be the game you're thinking of.
This song always makes me tear up, I really love this song.
