OH and there are tempo changes (because I can't resist myself lmao) Everything is 200 except: 2:30: 210 2:32: 225 2:34: 240 2:35: 250 2:36: 260 2:37: Back to 200
@@MckiRobynsP Exactly what I needed to know, thank you for being the only creator who lists their tempo changes (makes my life so much easier as a cover artist.)
DUDE i remember the other Danganronpa songs that you made and this appeared on my reccomended a few days ago and i literally cannot stop listening to this it is SO GOOD AND FITS NAGITO SO WELL thank you for being such a great music artist i cannot wait for this fire tune to be on spotify
@@yumenoayameeas someone who really likes Kokichi and Nagito, their entire philosophies have nothing to do with eachother, they just clash well with the protagonists'
I like how at 2:32 Nagito talks about the happy times while showing the cast, but when Hajime shows up he doesn't say anything since he learned that Hajime do not have any talent and therefore isn't of interest anymore
is it cuz hajime has no talent? or is it cuz he was an ultimate despiar cuz thats what i thought it was because he sorta got harsh towards everyone ESPCIALLY hajime since he was a reserve course lol
@@Silverhedgehoj That logic counts on Nagito being a rational and sensible human being, and not a fanatic obsessed with his particular ideals of hope and despair. I'm not sure you have the best grasp on his character.
I love how this song just takes a deep dive into how Nagito felt during Danganronpa 2 and how his mindset is. How tragic his character is, how he is unsure of his own worth and wanting to live. How “controlling” luck is his only (and extremely unhealthy) way of coping. The lyric of “Like a roller coaster that never ends. I keep thinking that it’ll crash! but the tracks just bend.” That lyric really fits Nagito and his mindset. I also love the subtle change at the end when he discovers the truth and decides to try to end the game by taking himself out with everyone but the traitor (Chiaki) going down with him. From saying “Lucky me!” To “Unlucky me…” is so subtle, and impactful. He’s trying to do what’s right, but his methods and ways of trying to do the right thing will always blow up in his face because of his belief in his luck system. His never ending cycle or good and bad luck.
And near the end of the song all the lyrics slightly change to become more depressing like how goes from “thinking” to wishing about the rollercoaster crashing and if we go by what rollercoasters are in the game, everyone has to get on it showing how he wishes all of the despair died.
I've had an on and off hyperfixation on Nagito for over 2 years and I have never seen such a perfect explanation of his character in such a short amount of content. I can not believe how accurate this is my heart is hurting.
I agree except my on/off obsession w him has been going on for almost 4 years now and im not sure it will stop anytime soon🗿🗿 glad i found another nagito stan who just cant get him out of their head
You did not fail to deliver an absolute banger for Nagito's song, it was perfectly Nagito. Edit: Specifically the 'like a roller-coaster that never ends, I keep thinking it'll crash, but the tracks just bend.' That line personifies' Nagito's life so well it's scary.
Yup, he thinks his life is gonna fall apart and then he gets good luck, there's so many examples I'm not even gonna list them all, but a tamer example is his intro in the anime with the truck and the vending machine
Thank you so much to everyone at the premiere and for all the kind comments so far!!! 😭❤ Hopefully Lucky Me will release on Spotify on Wednesday but I'll keep you guys updated! I'm going to sleep rn so I'll read comments and upload the instrumental, lyrics and svp/vsqx tomorrow. Stay hopeful ;)
thank you so much for making this song it really amde me happy! may i ask what programs do you use? also love your music and your so underrated ^-^!! please stay safe and have a nice day!!!
I literally love this so much- it truely protrays Nagito's ideals! It goes from "I hope im sacrificed for hope, because thats all im good for" to "I will sacrifice myself for hope because thats all im good for" to finally, "I will be hope because of my sacrifice." Honestly, its a beautiful wording. Really goes to show how fucked up Nagito really is, yet how much the writers really did him justice.
Lucky Me (lyrics) Ah, it’s crumbling. A familiar plague is rumbling. Wiping out that light… Demanding a sacrifice. Alright! Ah, it’s beautiful! And utterly cruel. For beacons such as you… I’ll get swallowed by that boundless darkness too. Like a rollercoaster that never ends. I keep thinking it’ll crash! But the tracks just bend. Ah…here we go again. Here we go again. I’m falling! I’m rising! I’m clinging! I’m dying! I’m…oh. Everything’s all twisted up. Where does virtue end and depravity start? It’s so enthralling I can’t help but laugh! Hahahaha! Lucky me! Another tragedy! To propel blind faith into my sanity! I’ll happily Indulge catastrophe! Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines! Use me! Abuse me! Reduce me! And venture forwards ‘till weakness and death become meaningless! Step on me ‘till you see that hope will triumph everything! That’s what I’ve always believed…! Yep! I really am LUCKY! Ah, it’s trickling. The poison’s sent is thickening. Melting the stars away… ‘Till that hopeful light decays. So? This is destiny! It’s heavenly! All this death just proves you’re worthy! See? So let’s rise again! Let’s fight again! Let’s fail again! Then die again! Lucky me! Another tragedy! To brutally dissect that vanity. I’ll happily Indulge catastrophe! Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines! Hate me! Berate me! Elate me! With more suspense ‘till madness and regrets become meaningless! Step on me As you please Humble worthless trash like me! And fulfill my horizonless dream! All locked and loaded… such is my fervent devotion. Since weakness, death, madness, regrets… They’re just like my life…! Meaningless. Repeating that distorted mantra over and over as I turn another tragic page. I realize nothing here is real. Not those resolute ideals. Nor those blissfully, happy times… Nor the hope I thought I’d find…! Like a rollercoaster that never ends. I keep wishing it’ll crash! But the tracks just bend. Ah…here we go again. Here we go again…! You’re useless! You’re worthless! How hopeless! I’ll end this! I’ll- oh… Everything’s blowing up. Where does malice end and benevolence start? It’s so atrocious I can’t help but laugh..! Hahaha… Unlucky me. All of this suffering… As the putrid truth tramples my futile dreams. I’ll forcefully create catastrophe! Until my vile’s despair crushed and I finally die! Lucky me! Our tattered destinies! Have started harmonizing ruthlessly! I’ll happily Take you all down with me! Until our vile despair’s crushed and the true hope finally SHINES! Praise me! Repay me! Hail me for my sacrifice! This emptiness, This pain, It’s all MEANINGLESS! Poison me! Then you’ll see that hope will vanquish everything! That’s all i have left to believe. Yep! My limits are BREAKING! That pure light is FADING! It’s too late to save ME…! LUCKY ME!
I am going to be brutally honest when I say that this is one of my favorite instrumentals to a song in general. If I could describe the tone in one word, it would be turmoil. It's a weird mix of joy and deep disturbance at the same time. With Nagito's twisted ideology of achieving absolute righteousness in the name of hope, despair lingers within as he ignores the ethics of murder, disregards the outcome of his friends, and has difficulty differentiating right from wrong. And how does he cope with this? He uses his self-hatred as a beacon for his fellow classmates to achieve their ultimate desire and pleasure: hope. But with his mind so warped, despair still manages to creep into every crevice, and the instrumental manages to do just that. Sorry for this long analysis, but you should be proud of yourself. This is honestly so well-crafted and beautifully constructed!
@@Connyioi think it means for hope to die just to be revived again (through nagito or anyone else) and restart the cycle (or it refers to trials where somebody dies but it pretty much ties to 'hope' with what i originally said above, sorry for trying to answer on the creator's behalf but i wanted to help :') )
The lyrics are so good!!! I think everything after 2:10 is just golden, you showed Nagito's emotions about learning they were all despairs so well! I especially liked "I realized nothing here is real not those resolute ideals nor those blissful happy times nor the hope I thought I'd find" and the part where the lyrics change to "I keep wishing it'll crash". And my heart broke at the end, "It's too late to save me." Nagito is such a twisty, turning character, but you captured him perfectly in my opinion!! I really liked it!!!
i love how everyone is in pairs for the part where its 'i realize nothing here is real' except hajime and chiaki because he doesnt wanna give hajime the credit he was giving chiaki by putting them in the same frame. there is so many minor details here and there its so amazing
I love how Nagito isn't washed into "Hope boy, loves bagels and Hajime also hair go brr haha" but actually precived as an actual complicated character that he is supposed to be. The majority of drV2 community just considers him as Hajime's malewife ngl
this is a specific thing to praise but i love the use of “meaningless” in the lyrics!! a callback to what he said in chapter one!! “'Meaningless'... No other word is more despair-inducing than that.” there’s just so much attention to detail and care put into this song!! love it forever 💖🫀❤️🔥💖❤️🔥🫀💖✨✨✨‼️‼️‼️
Just some cute little details I noticed I thought I should mention... 1. "All locked and loaded" referring to the gun in Russian Roulette, along with being a common saying, also refers to how ALL chambers were loaded except one. 2. "Nor the hope I thought I'd find" while Hajime's sprite flashes... This man so gay off his ass even Mcki puts it in the fansong
''They're all just like my life... Meaningless'' WAS SUCH A HARD BAR HOLY SHIT BRO I REPLAYED THAT LIKE 10 TIMES LMAO PLEASE TELL ME THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE.
I can feel Nagito's personality and story through each and every line. It's phenomenally written. And the delivery, I am speechless, it all flows so well, almost naturally.
You took Nagitos chrachter and used every part of it perfectly with lyrics that mean so much more than some would think- as a Nagito Komaeda fan who has loved him for so long, you are a blessing to this community
*Spoilers* ****3:03****-****3:04**** The place where he got the spear ****3:07**** The poisonous gas ****3:08****-****3:09**** The fire extinguisher liquid bottles ****3:11**** The room with the Monokuma cutouts which he used for his plan ****3:21****-****3:22**** The video he left, with the whole, "Ultimate Hope" thing and how he's doing this for the greater good ****3:30****-****3:39**** Him stabbing himself to confuse them ****3:39****-****3:40**** Them throwing the fire extinguisher bottles (And the poisonous gas, unknowingly) ****3:42**** The poisonous gas reaching him ****3:53****-****4:00****, ****4:07**** His already dead body impaled with the spear (For a friend, to give context)
YOUR KOKICHI FANSONG MADE ME GET INTO DANGANRONPA AND EVERY SONG YOU PUT OUT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO GET BACK INTO THE FANDOM AND REPLAY THE GAMES SERIOUSLY YOUR ABILITY TO PORTRAY THE CHARACTERS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MY MIND IS BLOWN
this is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! It's such a huge improvement in terms of instrumentals and lyrics overtime; even though I KNEW this was going to be great, it still absolutely BLEW MY EXPECTATIONS from how fitting and crazy this song is (it represents nagito so well and does him justice to the point im HOPElessly in love with it, will definitely listen to it plenty of times)!!!!!!
After listening to this at least ten times I can say that this is a certified banger. I love how it starts somewhat happily and all goes downhill just like the “rollercoaster”. Good job Mckirobyns! Keep it up.
This song legit got me into Danganronpa, I heard it once thought "this sounds cool wonder what it's from?" And fast forward 3 months later and I've played every game (including ultimate summer camp and ultra despair girls) and can confidently say that it's become my favorite game series ever and SDR2 is my favorite game ever. So just wanted to take a sec and say thanks for leading down this rabbit hole of awesomeness.
3:12 this part is literally so good. I literally can’t stop replaying it. AND ITS NOT JUST THAT PART!! The whole song was such an awesome experience I can’t even explain. The way you put all of Nagito’s thoughts and feelings into a song form, and the song actually REALLY GOOD, is unbelievably awesome. Keep up the good work!!❤
NOOO MY OBSESSION IS BEING REWAKED!1!!1!1 All jokes aside this is amazing. I love how fitting this is for his character, you can tell the creator really understands the character they're making lyrics for. :)
I don't know if I'll be awake when it premieres, but I'm very excited! After your last fan song came out, I had it on loop, so I have high "hopes" for this one!!
I’M GONNA CRYYYY THIS HAS GOTTA BE ONE OF MY FAV SONGS OF YOURS IN GENERAL😭😭😭😭😭😭😭the melody and the instrumental style is just so incredible I’m so. I’ll never be the same after this thank you mcki we love you (nagito my favourite danganronpa guy. been imagining this since i got into danganronpa but never thought it would happen and here we are. woopee)
I’ve been out of this fandom for several years now, I actually forgot how complex Nagito’s character was and you really captured that in this song. Great work and its cool to see that you’re still making content 😎
I was skeptical, but this is AMAZING! A perfect summary of Nagito, even made me tear up in the end! He's probably my favorite DR character and one of my favorite characters in anything, partially because you can't put him in a "good" or "bad" box, he's kinda what you make of him and the song represents that pretty accurately, all the while keeping a healthy balance between the game's plot and poetry/metaphors. You really did something with this!
STOP ITS SO FREAKING GOOD HOW DO YOU ALWAYS OUTDO YOURSELF~????? Yuma was perfect for him fr. Tysm for this oh my gobs I’m listening to it on repeat for 3 decades now
AAAAAAAA THIS IS SO GOOD TvT these Danganronpa fan songs never fails to hit the spot, I'm so glad Yuma also gets to sing this since it suits his voice pretty well, tysm for the awesome song!! you did Yuma justice and slayed like with all of your songs and covers
I cannot express how much I love the lines “As I turn another tragic page, I realize nothing here is real. Not those resolute ideals. Not those blissful happy times, not the hope I thought I’d find!” AGGHHB I LOVE THIS SONG SMM ❤❤❤
I loved the reference to the iconic line! The whole awkward laugh he did when he was behind in the trial. The amount of love and care put into this is amazing!!
I saw Kokichi's song you made even before I entered Danganronpa fandom, and I really liked it. It's been pretty a while since I last saw your channel, and then I saw this song. Nagito is my favourite character and I liked song SO much. Especially the moment at 3:41. Thank you for making such great songs!
ZAMN this is awesome!!!! i haven't heard much by you yet, but this and the kokichi one (this is all i have heard so far) are absolutely FIRE!! i have been listening to "cause i'm a liar" on loop this is so well done omll not to mention the lyrics????? awesome job man this restored my faith in humanity!! /lh
Wow, this song is awesome! "Like a roller coaster that never ends, I keep thinking it'll crash, but the tracks just bend" is such a brilliant line, a perfect metaphor for Nagito's life. I also love the tone of these lyrics - "Yep! I really am lucky!" is exactly the way he'd say it, it sounds just like his voice. The tune itself is also a great mix of upbeat/catchy, with some darker undertones and some slightly unsettling moments, almost like a creepy carnival at times. It's been stuck in my head all day! Thank you for making this! :)
While Nagito isn’t my favorite character, I was blown away at how absolutely perfectly you captured his personality in this song, and it’s such a bop too! Thank you for creating these amazing fan songs!
random thing I noticed, at 2:32 all of the cast are in a group of 2 except Chiaki and Hajime, this may hint that they are actually something more than they let on (Chiaki being an A.I and Hajime being Izuru) which is why they are on their own and not together
I just rewatched the Danganronpa 3 anime for all the Nagito scenes because he was my favorite character and looked up "Komaeda Nagito theme" and found this. As another user pointed out, seeing fan content that doesn't just water down the character into a shitty meme is so refreshing.
Nagito and kokichi are my favourite characters in The danganronpa series and im so happy that both their songs are BANGERS! I'll have this in my music playlist ofc
Really excited for this one. Nagito would have so much potential for you, since you love doing people’s arcs, and his is mostly his backstory. And with a song title of “Lucky Me”, I can tell it’s going to be insane and saddening.
I'm Chinese and I use a translator to comment, so it can be a bit confusing，I first found this video on bilibili and came here to comment on it，You really dissected nagito komaeda's character, the lyrics are really a good interpretation of nagito komaeda,The absolute belief in one's own talents, the willingness to give one's life to defeat despair in order to see hope, the extreme pride, the extreme inferiority, what a shock!
This was amazing!! The lyrics, the music, EVERYTHING!!! I always love when a new song comes out because I know it's gonna be a banger. Edit: I've listened to this like 10 times already today
Holy shit, this is just as good as it sounded in the preview! Yuma was definitely the right choice, he sounds fantastic here. Love the lyrics, you really did amazingly with this.
4:00 how lucky of him. To die by his own hope of saving this place, just to leave a messy, disparful demise of his own. I suppose no one’s to blame but his own insanity.
Holy- this song far exceeded my expectations, Yuma was an amazing choice for a voice and the whole song really screams Nagito, can't wait for Himiko next, you never disappoint!
I didn't think it was possible to make a nagito song that captured literally his personality, and his life, but you blew my mind. And in all honesty. I'm impressed, in love, and ungodly happy
Y’know? I decided to revisit this song and I swear, everytime I listen to a danganronpa fan song you make I always get pulled back into wanting more danganronpa content again lol, like every time I think “huh, haven’t been super interested in danganronpa stuff lately” your songs change my mind almost on the spot lol.
also maybe a weird question but are you into fangans/considered writing a song featuring a character from one? im only asking because of haruno sora synthv coming out soon lol.. if you decide to pick her up an sdra2 sora song with her would be maybe the funniest thing ever ? and good luck with future songs !!!
@@aartaxmiyzhax Thank you so much!! I haven't played any fangans except Eden's Garden but I definitely want to check out more in the future so I'll have to see!
@@MckiRobynsP i see !! the dra games are really good !! i know nothing about you other than your songs, but going off the characters you've made songs about i could see you enjoying a lot of the characters ! thank you for the response ^-^ !!
ANOTHER EPIC SONG MADE BY YOU AKSJAKA, WHEN WILL THIS BE ON SPOTIFY?? I CAN LITERALLY LISTEN TO THIS ON LOOP ALLDAY- also at 2:38 it Kinda sounds like Sou's "Not my Turn To Die" ngl-
Thank you so much!! I talked about the spotify release in the pinned comment (Basically "hopefully Wednesday") and damn, now that I think about it you're right! 😭
I was a bit early to the premiere, everyone was spamming hope, except for a certain Mikan. This song was such a banger! I couldn't stop smiling when I heard this for the first time lol :)) Thank you Mcki for making this awesome masterpiece!! :D P.S. Mikan, if you're reading this, you're just hiding from the truth. Hope is supreme! >:)
@@KazuichiSoda. Yeah, she was. And she was the only one who was doing that. She didn't have a chance against the other ~200 people, who were spamming hope, huh
WTH THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING NO WORDS JUST WONDERFUL. It’s amazing you perfectly get Komaeda’s character, it feels like I’m in his mind and how the songs just seems to go crazier and depressing more and more like we’re stuck in a loop. So many feels ! It’s incredible,😮💨🔥🔥🔥
imagine when it starts it's another miu song LOL edit: SHUT UP THIS IS SO GOOD???? I DON'T EVEN LIKE NAGITO THAT MUCH BUT THIS IS SO GOOD???????????????? THIS SONG IS .... LIKE.... WHAT???? HHUH?? THABNK YOU???
OH MY GOD I ACTYALLY GOT CHILLS AT THE LAUGHING PART. rambling rn because I AM GOING INSANE AB THIS SONG (“Demanding a sacrifice… Alright!”)>nagito sees hope and despair as this exchange basically, where a high amount of hope means that a high amount of despair will surely come afterwards - which is wrong, because you can’t fairly exchange something as vague as hope and despair, and the universe isn’t as linear as that, nor is it fair. hope is just that: hope, and so is despair, but nagito has this entire idea on how it works, as a way to justify to himself that every terrible thing he’s been through happened only because of the cycle he made up, like a coping mechanism of some kind, that no matter how badly his luck treats him, there’ll always be something good to come out of it (“Like a rollercoaster that never ends, I keep thinking it’ll crash! But the tracks just bend…”)>AND THIS LINE HITS SO HARD BTW ITS SO OH MY GOD ITS LITERALLY HIM IN ONE SENTENCE. THIS ANALOGY IS SO INTERESTING?? how his bad luck causes him to nearly lose his life multiple times and cause the rollercoaster of life to crash, only to be saved by his good luck as part of the cycle - then the cycle repeats over and over again, never stopping, just like a rollercoaster. his life has up and downs too, similar to a rollercoaster’s tracks, which bend due to the influence of his luck. tracks aren’t supposed to bend, and I’m referring to ‘normal’ people - but his luck is so strong, that it ‘bends’ the tracks in an unnatural way, as proven by the fact that he’s not supposed to live this long: what with the freak accidents that threaten his life, as well as his clinical conditions, but his luck continues to bend the tracks of life, allowing him to live longer. and how you show his mood rapidly changing, from smiling to crazed and back to smiling once he realised his mistake. because earlier in the game he was still relatively tamereally dig this because he’s still acting tame, but lets loose a little while still managing to sound calm and unsuspecting. and the vocabulary just used for the lyrics sound exactly like how he speaks, especially when you add the “aha…” LIKE this line refers to nagito toeing on the line between acting virtuous and good, and being depraved at the same time which is how other people see him. he’s acting with everybody’s best interests in mind, meaning he’s being virtuous, but the way he goes about it is depraved and insane (“It’s so enthralling I can’t help but laugh…!”)>here we see how he completely removed the façade he’d been using, as he finally revealed the insanity that lied underneath during the first trial. (“Oh lucky me! Another tragedy! To propel blind faith into my sanity…!”)>the lyrics are SO smart too because he’s referencing his luck cycle, how he’s lived tragedy after tragedy, blindly putting all his faith into hope and basically worshipping it, as his sanity slowly reduces like how we see in the game (“I’ll happily indulge catastrophe! Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines!”)> i just really like this line. he’s willing to do anything, just for the true hope he’s been searching for his entire life (“Use me! Abuse me! Reduce me! And venture forwards till weakness and death becomes meaningless!”) > basically believing that as long as you can achieve true hope, nothing else matters, and anything is acceptable if you’re using/doing it to achieve true hope - including death. and references the disturbing way he was acting in the first trial, offering himself up as fresh meat and volunteering to help the killer finish himself off (“Ah, it’s trickling. The poison’s scent is thickening. Melting the stars away…”)>THIS IS SO SMART TOO AND ITS DEF A REFERENCE TO THE FIFTH TRIAL. the stars referencing the ultimates who shine brightly like stars, and melting maybe referring to either the fire in the warehouse, or the way the stars are slowly melting as more and more people die (“So? This is destiny! It’s heavenly! All this death just proves you’re worthy! See?”)>showing no remorse for all the killings that have occurred because he believes it was for a better cause - for such beacons of hope to get destroyed just means that an even brighter hope will happen in the face of despair that comes from their deaths no talentless or ordinary person could bring that much amount of hope, so nagito sees it as an honour to be killed for the sake of hope, basically seeing it as being ‘worthy’ and even seeming ecstatic over the idea (“So let’s rise again! Let’s fight again! Let’s fail again! Then die again…!”)>again, showing his twisted mindset, and how he feels about the killings. i think any remorse he may feel is completely shadowed by the promise of a brighter hope, and he even encourages the cycle to continue. it may seem insane and cruel for any normal person, but nagito’s life has been far from normal, and this kind of mindset is completely normal for him in fact, he’s said that he doesn’t get why the others think of him as ‘strange’, and he thinks that they’re the strange ones for thinking that (“Hate me! Berate me! Elate me!”)>this verse changing while earlier it was: *{“Use me! Abuse me! Reduce me!”}* (“Humble worthless trash like me! And fulfill my horizonless dream…!”)>u don’t know how much I love the lyrics you put in here. his ‘dream’ being horizonless is referring to him clinging onto the bright and limitless hope, dreaming of one day finally finding the true hope that he so yearns for (“All locked and loaded… Such is my fervent devotion.”) the funhouse and russian roulette, putting his life on the line, because of his fervent devotion for a bright and true hope (maybe referencing him shooting all his devotion and hope into the gun, that he quite literally shoots at his own head?); seeing his life as so meaningless which is why it was so easy for him to nearly throw it away, devoted in achieving hope (“I realise nothing here is real. Not those resolute ideals. Nor those blissful, happy times…”)>feeling betrayed that the people he worshipped and saw as true hope, turned out to be his worst enemy, he quickly abandoned all care for them all the fun times he’s had are all meaningless, now that hes figured out the truth, and we can see him treating hajime cruelly in the game because of this, conflicted that he was a reserve course student. he sees the talentless as a waste of space, trash that leech off of the bright hope of the ultimates, which is why he was so disgusted by this discovery but this mindset is also contradictory because he views himself as trash as well, the lowest of the low, and yet he still believes himself to be above the talentless because of his luck and also his entire worldview just shattered, finding out that the hope he’s spent his entire life trying to find and create, never existed in the first place since he’s an ultimate despair. naturally, since he’s despair, he has to destroy himself and everybody else so true hope will be born from it. to him, this is the desirable outcome, and nothing else matters except for ‘defeating despair’ (“Nor the hope I thought I’d find…!”) hits hard because the reason he’s at hope’s peak in the first place was to find a bright, true hope that could eliminate any despair. it’s also what he’s been living for and yearning for his entire life after such tragic experiences because of his luck and just when he thought he’s found it, he realised that they were all despairs the entire time, and his entire world crumbles. (“Like a rollercoaster that never ends, I keep wishing it would crash! But the tracks just bend…”)>this, and the same one in the beginning are my favorite parts of the song ngl. wishing it would crash basically means he just wants it all to end already - after the confusion, betrayal, and disgust he’s feeling, he just wants to get off the ride already as he had nothing to cling to anymore, but the tracks keep bending as a result of his luck he’s worshipped hope for his entire life, but now with the discovery that he and everybody else were ultimate despairs, he has nothing to live for anymore. *{“Like a rollercoaster that never ends, I keep thinking it’ll crash! But the tracks just bend…”}* (“Here we go again… Here we go again…!”)>love the sprites btw, the haughty expression he wears as he says this is much different than the one shown earlier on in the song. in the beginning when saying this, he looked excited, but now he just looks fed up (“You’re useless! You’re worthless! How hopeless! I’ll end this! I’ll- Oh…”)>here, we can see that he’s referring to the other students instead of himself, and when he cuts himself off this time, it isn’t in an act to seem normal, as it just shows him losing his sanity now earlier in the song: *{“I’m rising! I’m falling! I’m clinging! I’m dying! I’m- Oh…”}* the spot the differences in this song is so COOL DUDE
(“Where does malice end and benevolence start?”)>we can see him losing his sanity here, almost like he’s continuing his thought from earlier *{“Where does virtue end and depravity start?”}* they’re both similar, but the latter one is more of an innocent, absentminded thought, while the former is more menacing and unhinged. this is SUCH A SMART THING TO DO IN A SONG WHAT this specific lyric also refers to all the malice he has, the malice in which he tries to get rid of all the ultimate despairs, and the malice in the way he formed an intricate plan for his own death to get everybody else killed, including the bombing of the lobby the second part of this lyric: throughout his entire life, his one true wish is to be understood, which means that he wants to be forgiven in an act of benevolence from the others (“It’s so atrocious I can’t help but laugh…”) is a sharp contrast to the earlier *{“It’s so enthralling I can’t help but laugh…!”}* AND THESE CHANGES IN THE LYRICS ARE SO SMART. the differences in his mindset from the beginning of the game and the ending of the game, is clearly shown in this song, where it ALSO progresses in the same way the game does. as the song starts with the scenes before monokuma arrived, and the scene of hajime meeting nagito for the first time, it’s like the listeners are getting to know nagito for the first time as well, and being steadily exposed to his true, twisted behavior as the song progresses, just like how they showed us in the game the song is just basically the listeners getting to know him fully as a character, complete with his background, ideologies, and his actions throughout the entire game, being exposed to his twisted mindset and the song ends at the same time nagito’s life does; so this song could also be seen as nagito’s perspective throughout the entire game and now that I’m writing this I’m realising it’s definitely just nagito’s perspective.. (“As the putrid truth tramples my futile dreams.”) realised his dreams were all futile in the end after discovering the harsh truth, when earlier he was hopeful, wanting to achieve it no matter the cost *{“And fulfill my horizonless dream…!”}* (“I’ll forcefully create catastrophe! Until my vile despair’s crushed and I finally die!”)>here, we see him separate himself from the despair. now this could mean two things: first is crushing his despair and betrayal when discovering the truth second is a more literal sense, since he’s the ultimate despair *{“I’ll happily indulge catastrophe! Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines!”}* ngl I’ve repeated this song a couple times because I’ve missed SO MANY THINGS but this song is an absolute banger (“Out tattered destinies have started harmonising ruthlessly!”)>their tattered destinies as the ultimate despairs, harmonising ruthlessly meaning they’re all intertwined in a tragic way (“I’ll happily take you all down with me! Until our vile despair’s crushed and the true hope finally shines!”)>compared to before where he was willing to sacrifice himself to let the others shine, we can see that now he’s willing to sacrifice everybody for his goal (“Praise me! Repay me! Hail me! For my sacrifice!”)>by committing the act of killing himself and his classmates who happen to be ultimate despairs, he’s achieving the ultimate hope: the brightest hope that could possibly come from having all the ultimate despairs eradicated at once from wanting to be a stepping stool for hope, he finally becomes worthy enough to create that ultimate kind of hope and we can see him wanting to be praised and worshipped for his deeds, because he’s doing the world a favour by eradicating every last bit of despair and in the game he requested to be called the “ultimate hope” (“This emptiness, this pain, it’s all meaningless!”)>no matter how badly he’s hurting, or how empty he felt after discovering the truth, it’s all meaningless since he’ll sacrifice everybody for the sake of a brighter hope, which instantly makes everybody okay. just like before, we see him trying to justify every horrible thing, because he wants to achieve hope *{”And venture forwards till weakness and death becomes meaningless!”}* >referencing an earlier line, we can now see that nagito has gone way beyond the point of weakness and death, as he calls it all meaningless now (“Poison me then you’ll see that hope will vanquish everything! That’s all I have left to believe…”)>even after attempting to kill everybody with his suicide, he’s still hoping that they’ll understand why he did so, by seeing the hope that will vanquish everything, it will justify the means and: when everything crumbles down before him, he still hangs onto his ‘futile dreams’ and still propelling ‘blind faith’ into his sanity, *{“To propel blind faith into my sanity…!”}* because it’s everything he’s ever known. he worships hope and clings onto it as a way to justify all the terrible things he’s went through because of his luck cycle, and this creates a twisted mindset that slowly got worse as we can see in his actions during the fifth trial. and it also is a direct reference to *{“Step on me till you see that hope will vanquish everything. That’s what I’ve always believed…!”}* >as his mindset isn’t as twisted as it was during the fifth trial. and omg it’s so interesting to see such different changes to the lyrics because it changes the meaning as a whole while still managing to sound the same if that makes sense (“That’s all I have left to believe…!”)>is desperate, clinging onto the only thing he’s ever known while *{“That’s what I’ve always believed…!”}* >is just him casually talking about his beliefs, for lack of better wording IM SO SORRY I JUST LIKE THIS SONG SO MUCH I HOPE THIS ISNT ANNOYING 😭 WAIT I READ THE DESCRIPTION LMFAOO ‘homosexual tendencies’ it’s official. ily. it really completes the package of his character tbh, and I like the part where hajime gets featured like nagito we know what u are… BUT OH MY GOD THIS WAS AN ACTUAL PERFECT JOB OF CAPTURING HIS CHARACTER, it’s so impressive how you managed to capture everything in the game, as we can personally SEE his descend into madness, and how the song ends with his trial like this is such a creative portrayal of his character IN JUST FOUR MINUTES TOO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING A SONG OF NAGITO AHH IM JUST?? like. how you wrote this song is so close to canon it’s impressive, and I know songwriting isn’t easy so the fact you managed to do all this in the span of a single song is SO AMAZING. like theory videos can last up to one hour, but man am I definitely using this video when I need to do a brief study on his character LMAOO and not only that, but the song is unbelievably catchy as hell, I can already see myself repeating this song over and over bc it’s just that good. this song is so high quality too, like I CANT BELIEVE IM LISTENING TO THIS FOR FREE my god I’ve been here for a WHILE but let me just say this is a masterpiece, and I’m not just saying it to flatter you, i genuinely mean it. the way the earlier lines and later lines in the song are directly contrasted, it just makes the listeners think “oh I never noticed that before” on the first listen, but it becomes more noticeable after you listen to it a couple times, like a really good mystery book (or the danganronpa trials..) I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THIS SONG, GOOD JOB!!
@@neuro__ I can't even thank you enough for this comment omg😭😭😭 It's so kind, touching, fascinating and intelligent I'm mind blown and eternally grateful at the same time!!! 🥹 Lyrics are one of favorite parts of making songs and I love adding lyrics that repeat but with small changes to convey progression in the story so thank you for pointing them out!! Also you're analysis of the lyrics is spot on to what I was hoping to convey!

@@neuro__ wow. I absolutely agree with you. This song is a masterpiece for me. And your analize is really good. I mean I am seeying that you have Deep understanding of Nagito character.
I wasn't there for the premiere, but this just blew me away!!!! The lyrics are so fitting for him... I'm sure I'll end up listening to it on loop for a looong time
Ok so with all the attention to detail with Nagito's character is absolutely insane (like him). How the rollercoaster just bends instead of crashing, how he wants to be used as a stepping stool for true hope, to him wanting to be raised for having his eyes opened and sacrificing himself, even how he talked about creating his own catastrophe. The pictures, the scene, all of it matching. Like my god dude. You're amazing.

I like how at 2:32 Nagito talks about the happy times while showing the cast, but when Hajime shows up he doesn't say anything since he learned that Hajime do not have any talent and therefore isn't of interest anymore
Ooo nice catch!!
is it cuz hajime has no talent? or is it cuz he was an ultimate despiar cuz thats what i thought it was because he sorta got harsh towards everyone ESPCIALLY hajime since he was a reserve course lol

Song is more sick than nagito
Damn, THAT sick? 😂 Thank you so much!!
Honestly that isn’t very hard to be but like YOU DO YOU!!( also I’m just saying that I don’t like nagito but this song is a banger))
Very sick
true. so true. also poor nagito.
DAIOS!?
I love how this song just takes a deep dive into how Nagito felt during Danganronpa 2 and how his mindset is. How tragic his character is, how he is unsure of his own worth and wanting to live. How “controlling” luck is his only (and extremely unhealthy) way of coping. The lyric of “Like a roller coaster that never ends. I keep thinking that it’ll crash! but the tracks just bend.” That lyric really fits Nagito and his mindset.
I also love the subtle change at the end when he discovers the truth and decides to try to end the game by taking himself out with everyone but the traitor (Chiaki) going down with him. From saying “Lucky me!” To “Unlucky me…” is so subtle, and impactful. He’s trying to do what’s right, but his methods and ways of trying to do the right thing will always blow up in his face because of his belief in his luck system. His never ending cycle or good and bad luck.
And near the end of the song all the lyrics slightly change to become more depressing like how goes from “thinking” to wishing about the rollercoaster crashing and if we go by what rollercoasters are in the game, everyone has to get on it showing how he wishes all of the despair died.
I've had an on and off hyperfixation on Nagito for over 2 years and I have never seen such a perfect explanation of his character in such a short amount of content. I can not believe how accurate this is my heart is hurting.
I agree except my on/off obsession w him has been going on for almost 4 years now and im not sure it will stop anytime soon🗿🗿 glad i found another nagito stan who just cant get him out of their head
@@starkid5203 frr
@@starkid5203I love Nagito komaeda so much it’s becoming a problem😭🙏
You did not fail to deliver an absolute banger for Nagito's song, it was perfectly Nagito.
Edit: Specifically the 'like a roller-coaster that never ends, I keep thinking it'll crash, but the tracks just bend.' That line personifies' Nagito's life so well it's scary.
Not to mention the grape/strawberry house roller coaster, and the Final Dead Room Nagito finds himself in.
The "crash" part also makes me think about how theyre all inside the alter ego program and he wishes it CRASHED with them inside
Mcki is a genius, I think we can agree.
EXACTLY 😭 It's *exactly* his whole luck cycle in a nutshell
Yup, he thinks his life is gonna fall apart and then he gets good luck, there's so many examples I'm not even gonna list them all, but a tamer example is his intro in the anime with the truck and the vending machine
Thank you so much to everyone at the premiere and for all the kind comments so far!!! 😭❤
Hopefully Lucky Me will release on Spotify on Wednesday but I'll keep you guys updated!
I'm going to sleep rn so I'll read comments and upload the instrumental, lyrics and svp/vsqx tomorrow. Stay hopeful ;)
O o I have a idea. If you want to do a song for Makoto why no call it My luck because Nagito is a corrupted version of makoto
thank you so much for making this song it really amde me happy! may i ask what programs do you use? also love your music and your so underrated ^-^!! please stay safe and have a nice day!!!
I know I'm kinda late but Good night!
omg yes I can't wait to add this to my playlist
I JUST WATCHED IT AND ITS SO GOOD!!!1!1! I LOVE IT yippe
ok the fact that you're also the one who made "cause i'm a liar" for Kokichi. Pure respect
Never thought I would ever hear Nagito Komaeda sing the words "step on me"
same-
LMAOOOOOOO
We truly have peaked In DR content
I did think I would hear that but I definitely didn't expect it
Ngl it fits him. Just look at him smiling at hajime when he’s tied up. Definitely has some weird feelings about that stuff 😒
I just realized the lines "poison me" and "it's too late to save me" are a little more literal than I first let on lol
I literally love this so much- it truely protrays Nagito's ideals! It goes from "I hope im sacrificed for hope, because thats all im good for" to "I will sacrifice myself for hope because thats all im good for" to finally, "I will be hope because of my sacrifice." Honestly, its a beautiful wording. Really goes to show how fucked up Nagito really is, yet how much the writers really did him justice.
Lucky Me (lyrics)
Ah, it’s crumbling.
A familiar plague is rumbling.
Wiping out that light…
Demanding a sacrifice.
Alright!
Ah, it’s beautiful!
And utterly cruel.
For beacons such as you…
I’ll get swallowed by that boundless darkness too.
Like a rollercoaster that never ends.
I keep thinking it’ll crash!
But the tracks just bend.
Ah…here we go again.
Here we go again.
I’m falling!
I’m rising!
I’m clinging!
I’m dying!
I’m…oh.
Everything’s all twisted up.
Where does virtue end and depravity start?
It’s so enthralling I can’t help but laugh!
Hahahaha!
Lucky me!
Another tragedy!
To propel blind faith into my sanity!
I’ll happily
Indulge catastrophe!
Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines!
Use me!
Abuse me!
Reduce me!
And venture forwards ‘till weakness
and death become meaningless!
Step on me ‘till you see that hope will triumph everything!
That’s what I’ve always believed…!
Yep!
I really am LUCKY!
Ah, it’s trickling.
The poison’s sent is thickening.
Melting the stars away…
‘Till that hopeful light decays.
So? This is destiny!
It’s heavenly!
All this death just proves you’re worthy!
See?
So let’s rise again!
Let’s fight again!
Let’s fail again!
Then die again!
Lucky me!
Another tragedy!
To brutally dissect that vanity.
I’ll happily
Indulge catastrophe!
Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines!
Hate me!
Berate me!
Elate me!
With more suspense ‘till madness
and regrets become meaningless!
Step on me
As you please
Humble worthless trash like me!
And fulfill my horizonless dream!
All locked and loaded…
such is my fervent devotion.
Since weakness, death, madness, regrets…
They’re just like my life…! Meaningless.
Repeating that distorted mantra over and over as I turn another tragic page.
I realize nothing here is real.
Not those resolute ideals.
Nor those blissfully, happy times…
Nor the hope I thought I’d find…!
Like a rollercoaster that never ends.
I keep wishing it’ll crash!
But the tracks just bend.
Ah…here we go again.
Here we go again…!
You’re useless!
You’re worthless!
How hopeless!
I’ll end this!
I’ll- oh…
Everything’s blowing up.
Where does malice end and benevolence start?
It’s so atrocious I can’t help but laugh..!
Hahaha…
Unlucky me.
All of this suffering…
As the putrid truth tramples my futile dreams.
I’ll forcefully
create catastrophe!
Until my vile’s despair crushed and I finally die!
Lucky me!
Our tattered destinies!
Have started harmonizing ruthlessly!
I’ll happily
Take you all down with me!
Until our vile despair’s crushed and the true hope finally SHINES!
Praise me!
Repay me!
Hail me for my sacrifice!
This emptiness,
This pain,
It’s all MEANINGLESS!
Poison me!
Then you’ll see that hope will vanquish everything!
That’s all i have left to believe.
Yep!
My limits are BREAKING!
That pure light is FADING!
It’s too late to save ME…!
LUCKY ME!
Thanks!!

RIP ur hands-
Also ty-
I am going to be brutally honest when I say that this is one of my favorite instrumentals to a song in general. If I could describe the tone in one word, it would be turmoil. It's a weird mix of joy and deep disturbance at the same time. With Nagito's twisted ideology of achieving absolute righteousness in the name of hope, despair lingers within as he ignores the ethics of murder, disregards the outcome of his friends, and has difficulty differentiating right from wrong.
And how does he cope with this? He uses his self-hatred as a beacon for his fellow classmates to achieve their ultimate desire and pleasure: hope. But with his mind so warped, despair still manages to creep into every crevice, and the instrumental manages to do just that.
Sorry for this long analysis, but you should be proud of yourself. This is honestly so well-crafted and beautifully constructed!
Thank you so much for the analysis!! Yep, that's our Nagito alright. I'm so glad I could convey all that and that this one is your favorite!!! 😭 ❤❤
@@MckiRobynsP
I know I’m late but near 1:40 he says die again and I want to know why those lyrics were put there as they seem out of place.
@@Connyioi think it means for hope to die just to be revived again (through nagito or anyone else) and restart the cycle
(or it refers to trials where somebody dies but it pretty much ties to 'hope' with what i originally said above, sorry for trying to answer on the creator's behalf but i wanted to help :') )
The lyrics are so good!!! I think everything after 2:10 is just golden, you showed Nagito's emotions about learning they were all despairs so well! I especially liked "I realized nothing here is real not those resolute ideals nor those blissful happy times nor the hope I thought I'd find" and the part where the lyrics change to "I keep wishing it'll crash". And my heart broke at the end, "It's too late to save me." Nagito is such a twisty, turning character, but you captured him perfectly in my opinion!! I really liked it!!!
Thank you so much!!! ❤ It's always interesting to hear which parts people like the most!! :D
I am SO grateful to you for spreading how Nagito's character really works! Like, i wish more people would understand him!
i love how everyone is in pairs for the part where its 'i realize nothing here is real' except hajime and chiaki because he doesnt wanna give hajime the credit he was giving chiaki by putting them in the same frame. there is so many minor details here and there its so amazing
This song is what helped turn Nagito into one of my favourite characters, I’ve been listening to it every day for the past month !!!!
I love how Nagito isn't washed into "Hope boy, loves bagels and Hajime also hair go brr haha" but actually precived as an actual complicated character that he is supposed to be. The majority of drV2 community just considers him as Hajime's malewife ngl

YOUR KOKICHI FANSONG MADE ME GET INTO DANGANRONPA AND EVERY SONG YOU PUT OUT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO GET BACK INTO THE FANDOM AND REPLAY THE GAMES
SERIOUSLY YOUR ABILITY TO PORTRAY THE CHARACTERS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MY MIND IS BLOWN
Thank you so much!!! 😭❤ I'm glad it got you into Danganronpa and that you like the character portrayal!! 🥹
this is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! It's such a huge improvement in terms of instrumentals and lyrics overtime; even though I KNEW this was going to be great, it still absolutely BLEW MY EXPECTATIONS from how fitting and crazy this song is (it represents nagito so well and does him justice to the point im HOPElessly in love with it, will definitely listen to it plenty of times)!!!!!!
After listening to this at least ten times I can say that this is a certified banger. I love how it starts somewhat happily and all goes downhill just like the “rollercoaster”. Good job Mckirobyns! Keep it up.
This song legit got me into Danganronpa, I heard it once thought "this sounds cool wonder what it's from?" And fast forward 3 months later and I've played every game (including ultimate summer camp and ultra despair girls) and can confidently say that it's become my favorite game series ever and SDR2 is my favorite game ever. So just wanted to take a sec and say thanks for leading down this rabbit hole of awesomeness.
3:12 this part is literally so good. I literally can’t stop replaying it. AND ITS NOT JUST THAT PART!! The whole song was such an awesome experience I can’t even explain. The way you put all of Nagito’s thoughts and feelings into a song form, and the song actually REALLY GOOD, is unbelievably awesome. Keep up the good work!!❤
NOOO MY OBSESSION IS BEING REWAKED!1!!1!1
All jokes aside this is amazing. I love how fitting this is for his character, you can tell the creator really understands the character they're making lyrics for. :)

I was skeptical, but this is AMAZING! A perfect summary of Nagito, even made me tear up in the end! He's probably my favorite DR character and one of my favorite characters in anything, partially because you can't put him in a "good" or "bad" box, he's kinda what you make of him and the song represents that pretty accurately, all the while keeping a healthy balance between the game's plot and poetry/metaphors. You really did something with this!
Also the "GAME OVER?" signifying that everyone survived and he got a second chance, it's just so good!
Another person who shares my fave DR character?!

I cannot express how much I love the lines
“As I turn another tragic page, I realize nothing here is real. Not those resolute ideals. Not those blissful happy times, not the hope I thought I’d find!”
AGGHHB I LOVE THIS SONG SMM ❤❤❤
As someone who overthinks Nagito's character a lot, this is perfect.. so perfect it makes me as sad as his fte... amazing job the lyrics are on point
0:59 My favorite part, this song is amazing bro!!
So excited!!! Gonna edit the comment after the premiere
Edit: the premiere was awesome! Oh,we're all soo lucky to have been blessed with this song.
I loved the reference to the iconic line! The whole awkward laugh he did when he was behind in the trial. The amount of love and care put into this is amazing!!
I saw Kokichi's song you made even before I entered Danganronpa fandom, and I really liked it. It's been pretty a while since I last saw your channel, and then I saw this song. Nagito is my favourite character and I liked song SO much. Especially the moment at 3:41. Thank you for making such great songs!
ZAMN this is awesome!!!! i haven't heard much by you yet, but this and the kokichi one (this is all i have heard so far) are absolutely FIRE!! i have been listening to "cause i'm a liar" on loop this is so well done omll not to mention the lyrics????? awesome job man this restored my faith in humanity!! /lh
I omor
Wow, this song is awesome!
"Like a roller coaster that never ends, I keep thinking it'll crash, but the tracks just bend" is such a brilliant line, a perfect metaphor for Nagito's life. I also love the tone of these lyrics - "Yep! I really am lucky!" is exactly the way he'd say it, it sounds just like his voice.
The tune itself is also a great mix of upbeat/catchy, with some darker undertones and some slightly unsettling moments, almost like a creepy carnival at times. It's been stuck in my head all day!
Thank you for making this! :)
I blasted this in the middle of class
Was it a bad decision? Yes.
Do I regret it? No.
Banger song btw Himiko next song right?
LMAO and yep, Himiko's next :D
@@MckiRobynsP Good to know! I'm not a Himiko fan, but based on the other songs you've made, you can make it great!
While Nagito isn’t my favorite character, I was blown away at how absolutely perfectly you captured his personality in this song, and it’s such a bop too! Thank you for creating these amazing fan songs!
random thing I noticed, at 2:32 all of the cast are in a group of 2 except Chiaki and Hajime, this may hint that they are actually something more than they let on (Chiaki being an A.I and Hajime being Izuru) which is why they are on their own and not together
I just rewatched the Danganronpa 3 anime for all the Nagito scenes because he was my favorite character and looked up "Komaeda Nagito theme" and found this.
As another user pointed out, seeing fan content that doesn't just water down the character into a shitty meme is so refreshing.
Nagito and kokichi are my favourite characters in The danganronpa series and im so happy that both their songs are BANGERS!
I'll have this in my music playlist ofc
This is so exciting! Nagito is one of my personal favourites, so it’s amazing you got it out like this -on the same day as my best friend’s birthday!-
WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT DUDE!! It's even my best friend's birthday :D
@@jasminedoggietvn6995omg it was also posted on my best friends birthday too!!!
Really excited for this one. Nagito would have so much potential for you, since you love doing people’s arcs, and his is mostly his backstory. And with a song title of “Lucky Me”, I can tell it’s going to be insane and saddening.
How _lucky of me_ to hear this song!
Holy shit this is so good the lyrics are on point with his actual character AHH I LOVE THIS!!!
I'm Chinese and I use a translator to comment, so it can be a bit confusing，I first found this video on bilibili and came here to comment on it，You really dissected nagito komaeda's character, the lyrics are really a good interpretation of nagito komaeda,The absolute belief in one's own talents, the willingness to give one's life to defeat despair in order to see hope, the extreme pride, the extreme inferiority, what a shock!
This was amazing!! The lyrics, the music, EVERYTHING!!! I always love when a new song comes out because I know it's gonna be a banger.
Edit: I've listened to this like 10 times already today
Not gonna lie, I've never heard the Yuma voice before, but it fits Nagito really well! Everything else about the song is also great! Keep it up!
Man I thought it was meant to be a Nagito voice-
Holy shit, this is just as good as it sounded in the preview! Yuma was definitely the right choice, he sounds fantastic here. Love the lyrics, you really did amazingly with this.
4:00 how lucky of him. To die by his own hope of saving this place, just to leave a messy, disparful demise of his own. I suppose no one’s to blame but his own insanity.
0:40
I LOVE THIS PART HELP
Holy- this song far exceeded my expectations, Yuma was an amazing choice for a voice and the whole song really screams Nagito, can't wait for Himiko next, you never disappoint!
I just heard it one time now and I am already addicted to this song. Lucky me for be able to hear this masterpiece!
Yes we really are lucky aren't we! ;)
I didn't think it was possible to make a nagito song that captured literally his personality, and his life, but you blew my mind. And in all honesty. I'm impressed, in love, and ungodly happy
Y’know? I decided to revisit this song and I swear, everytime I listen to a danganronpa fan song you make I always get pulled back into wanting more danganronpa content again lol, like every time I think “huh, haven’t been super interested in danganronpa stuff lately” your songs change my mind almost on the spot lol.
i really love the verses in this song.. !!! especially the lines about the roller coaster ? such a satisfying melody im obsessed truly
also maybe a weird question but are you into fangans/considered writing a song featuring a character from one? im only asking because of haruno sora synthv coming out soon lol.. if you decide to pick her up an sdra2 sora song with her would be maybe the funniest thing ever ? and good luck with future songs !!!
@@aartaxmiyzhax Thank you so much!! I haven't played any fangans except Eden's Garden but I definitely want to check out more in the future so I'll have to see!
@@MckiRobynsP i see !! the dra games are really good !! i know nothing about you other than your songs, but going off the characters you've made songs about i could see you enjoying a lot of the characters ! thank you for the response ^-^ !!
ANOTHER EPIC SONG MADE BY YOU AKSJAKA, WHEN WILL THIS BE ON SPOTIFY?? I CAN LITERALLY LISTEN TO THIS ON LOOP ALLDAY-
also at 2:38 it Kinda sounds like Sou's "Not my Turn To Die" ngl-
same, this song is such a banger
Thank you so much!! I talked about the spotify release in the pinned comment (Basically "hopefully Wednesday") and damn, now that I think about it you're right! 😭
Can't believe I'm actually going to hear it!! Komaeda has always been my favorite, so I'm just super excited💞
Он реально сказал "наступи на меня"... ЗНАЧИТ ПЕСНЯ - ШЕДЕВР
Intense, upbeat yet unnerving and unpredictable, yeah that's nagito well done
I was a bit early to the premiere, everyone was spamming hope, except for a certain Mikan. This song was such a banger! I couldn't stop smiling when I heard this for the first time lol :)) Thank you Mcki for making this awesome masterpiece!! :D
P.S. Mikan, if you're reading this, you're just hiding from the truth. Hope is supreme! >:)
Hope is supreme >:}}
THE HOPE WILL TRIUMPH EVERYTHING!
Alright I ain't Mikan but now I'm curious- was she spamming despair?
@@KazuichiSoda. Yeah, she was. And she was the only one who was doing that. She didn't have a chance against the other ~200 people, who were spamming hope, huh
@@just_a_lowly_servant Guess he was right then- hope always wins.
THIS SONG IS SO PHENOMENAL!!! I can’t wait for it to come out on streaming, especially since it’s making me want to get back into Danganronpa
THIS SONG IS AMAZING AAAA + Yuma getting the spotlight 🤭🤭
WTH THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING NO WORDS JUST WONDERFUL. It’s amazing you perfectly get Komaeda’s character, it feels like I’m in his mind and how the songs just seems to go crazier and depressing more and more like we’re stuck in a loop. So many feels ! It’s incredible,😮💨🔥🔥🔥
i like how its very detailed and well portrayed nagito's personality like everything:O
imagine when it starts it's another miu song LOL
edit: SHUT UP THIS IS SO GOOD???? I DON'T EVEN LIKE NAGITO THAT MUCH BUT THIS IS SO GOOD???????????????? THIS SONG IS .... LIKE.... WHAT???? HHUH?? THABNK YOU???
YEESS!! This is so amazing and fitting for Nagito!! Great job Mcki!!! 😁
THIS WAS AMAZING ESPECIALLY THE BEAT DROP AT 3:13
WE MANIPULATING TERUTERU INTO KILLING SOMEONE WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
YEA
OH MY GOD I ACTYALLY GOT CHILLS AT THE LAUGHING PART.
rambling rn because I AM GOING INSANE AB THIS SONG
(“Demanding a sacrifice… Alright!”)>nagito sees hope and despair as this exchange basically, where a high amount of hope means that a high amount of despair will surely come afterwards - which is wrong, because you can’t fairly exchange something as vague as hope and despair, and the universe isn’t as linear as that, nor is it fair.
hope is just that: hope, and so is despair, but nagito has this entire idea on how it works, as a way to justify to himself that every terrible thing he’s been through happened only because of the cycle he made up, like a coping mechanism of some kind, that no matter how badly his luck treats him, there’ll always be something good to come out of it
(“Like a rollercoaster that never ends, I keep thinking it’ll crash! But the tracks just bend…”)>AND THIS LINE HITS SO HARD BTW ITS SO OH MY GOD ITS LITERALLY HIM IN ONE SENTENCE. THIS ANALOGY IS SO INTERESTING??
how his bad luck causes him to nearly lose his life multiple times and cause the rollercoaster of life to crash, only to be saved by his good luck as part of the cycle - then the cycle repeats over and over again, never stopping, just like a rollercoaster.
his life has up and downs too, similar to a rollercoaster’s tracks, which bend due to the influence of his luck. tracks aren’t supposed to bend, and I’m referring to ‘normal’ people - but his luck is so strong, that it ‘bends’ the tracks in an unnatural way, as proven by the fact that he’s not supposed to live this long: what with the freak accidents that threaten his life, as well as his clinical conditions, but his luck continues to bend the tracks of life, allowing him to live longer.
and how you show his mood rapidly changing, from smiling to crazed and back to smiling once he realised his mistake. because earlier in the game he was still relatively tamereally dig this because he’s still acting tame, but lets loose a little while still managing to sound calm and unsuspecting. and the vocabulary just used for the lyrics sound exactly like how he speaks, especially when you add the “aha…” LIKE
this line refers to nagito toeing on the line between acting virtuous and good, and being depraved at the same time which is how other people see him. he’s acting with everybody’s best interests in mind, meaning he’s being virtuous, but the way he goes about it is depraved and insane
(“It’s so enthralling I can’t help but laugh…!”)>here we see how he completely removed the façade he’d been using, as he finally revealed the insanity that lied underneath during the first trial.
(“Oh lucky me! Another tragedy! To propel blind faith into my sanity…!”)>the lyrics are SO smart too because he’s referencing his luck cycle, how he’s lived tragedy after tragedy, blindly putting all his faith into hope and basically worshipping it, as his sanity slowly reduces like how we see in the game
(“I’ll happily indulge catastrophe! Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines!”)> i just really like this line. he’s willing to do anything, just for the true hope he’s been searching for his entire life
(“Use me! Abuse me! Reduce me! And venture forwards till weakness and death becomes meaningless!”) > basically believing that as long as you can achieve true hope, nothing else matters, and anything is acceptable if you’re using/doing it to achieve true hope - including death. and references the disturbing way he was acting in the first trial, offering himself up as fresh meat and volunteering to help the killer finish himself off
(“Ah, it’s trickling. The poison’s scent is thickening. Melting the stars away…”)>THIS IS SO SMART TOO AND ITS DEF A REFERENCE TO THE FIFTH TRIAL. the stars referencing the ultimates who shine brightly like stars, and melting maybe referring to either the fire in the warehouse, or the way the stars are slowly melting as more and more people die
(“So? This is destiny! It’s heavenly! All this death just proves you’re worthy! See?”)>showing no remorse for all the killings that have occurred because he believes it was for a better cause - for such beacons of hope to get destroyed just means that an even brighter hope will happen in the face of despair that comes from their deaths
no talentless or ordinary person could bring that much amount of hope, so nagito sees it as an honour to be killed for the sake of hope, basically seeing it as being ‘worthy’ and even seeming ecstatic over the idea
(“So let’s rise again! Let’s fight again! Let’s fail again! Then die again…!”)>again, showing his twisted mindset, and how he feels about the killings. i think any remorse he may feel is completely shadowed by the promise of a brighter hope, and he even encourages the cycle to continue. it may seem insane and cruel for any normal person, but nagito’s life has been far from normal, and this kind of mindset is completely normal for him
in fact, he’s said that he doesn’t get why the others think of him as ‘strange’, and he thinks that they’re the strange ones for thinking that
(“Hate me! Berate me! Elate me!”)>this verse changing while earlier it was: *{“Use me! Abuse me! Reduce me!”}*
(“Humble worthless trash like me! And fulfill my horizonless dream…!”)>u don’t know how much I love the lyrics you put in here.
his ‘dream’ being horizonless is referring to him clinging onto the bright and limitless hope, dreaming of one day finally finding the true hope that he so yearns for
(“All locked and loaded… Such is my fervent devotion.”) the funhouse and russian roulette, putting his life on the line, because of his fervent devotion for a bright and true hope (maybe referencing him shooting all his devotion and hope into the gun, that he quite literally shoots at his own head?); seeing his life as so meaningless which is why it was so easy for him to nearly throw it away, devoted in achieving hope
(“I realise nothing here is real. Not those resolute ideals. Nor those blissful, happy times…”)>feeling betrayed that the people he worshipped and saw as true hope, turned out to be his worst enemy, he quickly abandoned all care for them
all the fun times he’s had are all meaningless, now that hes figured out the truth, and we can see him treating hajime cruelly in the game because of this, conflicted that he was a reserve course student.
he sees the talentless as a waste of space, trash that leech off of the bright hope of the ultimates, which is why he was so disgusted by this discovery
but this mindset is also contradictory because he views himself as trash as well, the lowest of the low, and yet he still believes himself to be above the talentless because of his luck
and also his entire worldview just shattered, finding out that the hope he’s spent his entire life trying to find and create, never existed in the first place since he’s an ultimate despair. naturally, since he’s despair, he has to destroy himself and everybody else so true hope will be born from it. to him, this is the desirable outcome, and nothing else matters except for ‘defeating despair’
(“Nor the hope I thought I’d find…!”) hits hard because the reason he’s at hope’s peak in the first place was to find a bright, true hope that could eliminate any despair. it’s also what he’s been living for and yearning for his entire life after such tragic experiences because of his luck
and just when he thought he’s found it, he realised that they were all despairs the entire time, and his entire world crumbles.
(“Like a rollercoaster that never ends, I keep wishing it would crash! But the tracks just bend…”)>this, and the same one in the beginning are my favorite parts of the song ngl.
wishing it would crash basically means he just wants it all to end already - after the confusion, betrayal, and disgust he’s feeling, he just wants to get off the ride already as he had nothing to cling to anymore, but the tracks keep bending as a result of his luck
he’s worshipped hope for his entire life, but now with the discovery that he and everybody else were ultimate despairs, he has nothing to live for anymore. *{“Like a rollercoaster that never ends, I keep thinking it’ll crash! But the tracks just bend…”}*
(“Here we go again… Here we go again…!”)>love the sprites btw, the haughty expression he wears as he says this is much different than the one shown earlier on in the song. in the beginning when saying this, he looked excited, but now he just looks fed up
(“You’re useless! You’re worthless! How hopeless! I’ll end this! I’ll- Oh…”)>here, we can see that he’s referring to the other students instead of himself, and when he cuts himself off this time, it isn’t in an act to seem normal, as it just shows him losing his sanity now
earlier in the song: *{“I’m rising! I’m falling! I’m clinging! I’m dying! I’m- Oh…”}* the spot the differences in this song is so COOL DUDE
(“Where does malice end and benevolence start?”)>we can see him losing his sanity here, almost like he’s continuing his thought from earlier *{“Where does virtue end and depravity start?”}* they’re both similar, but the latter one is more of an innocent, absentminded thought, while the former is more menacing and unhinged. this is SUCH A SMART THING TO DO IN A SONG WHAT
this specific lyric also refers to all the malice he has, the malice in which he tries to get rid of all the ultimate despairs, and the malice in the way he formed an intricate plan for his own death to get everybody else killed, including the bombing of the lobby
the second part of this lyric: throughout his entire life, his one true wish is to be understood, which means that he wants to be forgiven in an act of benevolence from the others
(“It’s so atrocious I can’t help but laugh…”) is a sharp contrast to the earlier *{“It’s so enthralling I can’t help but laugh…!”}* AND THESE CHANGES IN THE LYRICS ARE SO SMART. the differences in his mindset from the beginning of the game and the ending of the game, is clearly shown in this song, where it ALSO progresses in the same way the game does.
as the song starts with the scenes before monokuma arrived, and the scene of hajime meeting nagito for the first time, it’s like the listeners are getting to know nagito for the first time as well, and being steadily exposed to his true, twisted behavior as the song progresses, just like how they showed us in the game
the song is just basically the listeners getting to know him fully as a character, complete with his background, ideologies, and his actions throughout the entire game, being exposed to his twisted mindset and the song ends at the same time nagito’s life does; so this song could also be seen as nagito’s perspective throughout the entire game and now that I’m writing this I’m realising it’s definitely just nagito’s perspective..
(“As the putrid truth tramples my futile dreams.”) realised his dreams were all futile in the end after discovering the harsh truth, when earlier he was hopeful, wanting to achieve it no matter the cost *{“And fulfill my horizonless dream…!”}*
(“I’ll forcefully create catastrophe! Until my vile despair’s crushed and I finally die!”)>here, we see him separate himself from the despair. now this could mean two things:
first is crushing his despair and betrayal when discovering the truth
second is a more literal sense, since he’s the ultimate despair
*{“I’ll happily indulge catastrophe! Until that vile despair’s crushed and the true hope shines!”}*
ngl I’ve repeated this song a couple times because I’ve missed SO MANY THINGS but this song is an absolute banger
(“Out tattered destinies have started harmonising ruthlessly!”)>their tattered destinies as the ultimate despairs, harmonising ruthlessly meaning they’re all intertwined in a tragic way
(“I’ll happily take you all down with me! Until our vile despair’s crushed and the true hope finally shines!”)>compared to before where he was willing to sacrifice himself to let the others shine, we can see that now he’s willing to sacrifice everybody for his goal
(“Praise me! Repay me! Hail me! For my sacrifice!”)>by committing the act of killing himself and his classmates who happen to be ultimate despairs, he’s achieving the ultimate hope: the brightest hope that could possibly come from having all the ultimate despairs eradicated at once
from wanting to be a stepping stool for hope, he finally becomes worthy enough to create that ultimate kind of hope
and we can see him wanting to be praised and worshipped for his deeds, because he’s doing the world a favour by eradicating every last bit of despair
and in the game he requested to be called the “ultimate hope”
(“This emptiness, this pain, it’s all meaningless!”)>no matter how badly he’s hurting, or how empty he felt after discovering the truth, it’s all meaningless since he’ll sacrifice everybody for the sake of a brighter hope, which instantly makes everybody okay. just like before, we see him trying to justify every horrible thing, because he wants to achieve hope
*{”And venture forwards till weakness and death becomes meaningless!”}* >referencing an earlier line, we can now see that nagito has gone way beyond the point of weakness and death, as he calls it all meaningless now
(“Poison me then you’ll see that hope will vanquish everything! That’s all I have left to believe…”)>even after attempting to kill everybody with his suicide, he’s still hoping that they’ll understand why he did so, by seeing the hope that will vanquish everything, it will justify the means
and:
when everything crumbles down before him, he still hangs onto his ‘futile dreams’ and still propelling ‘blind faith’ into his sanity, *{“To propel blind faith into my sanity…!”}* because it’s everything he’s ever known. he worships hope and clings onto it as a way to justify all the terrible things he’s went through because of his luck cycle, and this creates a twisted mindset that slowly got worse as we can see in his actions during the fifth trial.
and it also is a direct reference to *{“Step on me till you see that hope will vanquish everything. That’s what I’ve always believed…!”}* >as his mindset isn’t as twisted as it was during the fifth trial. and omg it’s so interesting to see such different changes to the lyrics because it changes the meaning as a whole while still managing to sound the same if that makes sense
(“That’s all I have left to believe…!”)>is desperate, clinging onto the only thing he’s ever known while *{“That’s what I’ve always believed…!”}* >is just him casually talking about his beliefs, for lack of better wording
IM SO SORRY I JUST LIKE THIS SONG SO MUCH I HOPE THIS ISNT ANNOYING 😭
WAIT I READ THE DESCRIPTION LMFAOO ‘homosexual tendencies’ it’s official. ily. it really completes the package of his character tbh, and I like the part where hajime gets featured like nagito we know what u are…
BUT OH MY GOD THIS WAS AN ACTUAL PERFECT JOB OF CAPTURING HIS CHARACTER, it’s so impressive how you managed to capture everything in the game, as we can personally SEE his descend into madness, and how the song ends with his trial like this is such a creative portrayal of his character IN JUST FOUR MINUTES TOO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING A SONG OF NAGITO AHH IM JUST??
like. how you wrote this song is so close to canon it’s impressive, and I know songwriting isn’t easy so the fact you managed to do all this in the span of a single song is SO AMAZING. like theory videos can last up to one hour, but man am I definitely using this video when I need to do a brief study on his character LMAOO
and not only that, but the song is unbelievably catchy as hell, I can already see myself repeating this song over and over bc it’s just that good. this song is so high quality too, like I CANT BELIEVE IM LISTENING TO THIS FOR FREE
my god I’ve been here for a WHILE but let me just say this is a masterpiece, and I’m not just saying it to flatter you, i genuinely mean it. the way the earlier lines and later lines in the song are directly contrasted, it just makes the listeners think “oh I never noticed that before” on the first listen, but it becomes more noticeable after you listen to it a couple times, like a really good mystery book (or the danganronpa trials..)
I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THIS SONG, GOOD JOB!!
@@neuro__ I can't even thank you enough for this comment omg😭😭😭 It's so kind, touching, fascinating and intelligent I'm mind blown and eternally grateful at the same time!!! 🥹 Lyrics are one of favorite parts of making songs and I love adding lyrics that repeat but with small changes to convey progression in the story so thank you for pointing them out!! Also you're analysis of the lyrics is spot on to what I was hoping to convey! It even has some details that I wasn't fully aware was portrayed, which just goes to show the impressively deep understanding you have for Nagito's character!! Thank you so so much for your comment, analysis and kind words!!!! You've just made my day 😭❤❤❤
@@MckiRobynsP OMG AHH YOURE SO NICE 😭😭 this actually made me super happy THANK YOU THANK YOU!! and yess creative works like these have my whole heart because you can tell the amount of work and care that went into them, and I’ve never seen anything like this honestly, and I really enjoy stuff related to like mentality so this was absolutely perfect
your lyric writing is like your telling of the story as it progresses, and the subtle changes to show the progression of the plot is such a clever thing to do, like it’s so rare to find something so high quality like this, and still manage to make it so catchy because I’ve never been so captivated by a song before,
it fr gave me the same feeling as when I’m trying to find out the answer to a mystery or something if that makes sense, and oh my GOD I love how your lyrics can have multiple meanings too, like I can’t stop thinking about it actually
AND IM GLAD MY ANALYSIS WAS SPOT ON😭 i got carried away while writing all this but ahh im so glad that it actually makes sense? i just really like characters like nagito, like figuring out their mentality and understanding what makes them think the way they do, so when I discovered this song I was ECSTATIC because your portrayal of him in the song was absolutely perfect I couldn’t help myself from just… doing analysis for it
also the part with the details you weren’t aware of, while flattering for me (thank you again
@@neuro__ Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it!!! 😭😭😭❤❤❤
@@neuro__ wow. I absolutely agree with you. This song is a masterpiece for me. And your analize is really good. I mean I am seeying that you have Deep understanding of Nagito character.
Я уже в предвкушении,осталось 3 часа и я услышу ещё одну шедевральную песню от Мики 👍
I wasn't there for the premiere, but this just blew me away!!!! The lyrics are so fitting for him... I'm sure I'll end up listening to it on loop for a looong time
это шедевр!! очень рада что ваши треки становятся всё лучше и лучше!! уверена буду слушать их ещё долго!!❤️❤️❤️
Yout tuning of Yuma works soooo well with Nagito I absolutely LOVE IT I love how you followed Nagito character act and all this is awesome 🙏
Ok so with all the attention to detail with Nagito's character is absolutely insane (like him). How the rollercoaster just bends instead of crashing, how he wants to be used as a stepping stool for true hope, to him wanting to be raised for having his eyes opened and sacrificing himself, even how he talked about creating his own catastrophe. The pictures, the scene, all of it matching. Like my god dude. You're amazing.
Ну это шедевр... Да, я не послушал ещё, но уже знаю:)
Если честно, я тоже... нет, все мы чувствуем это)
