If you notice they are all holding hands with each other which implies that they are all connected and share the same thoughts to want to commit unexistence.
I kinda thought the linked hands meant when people commit suicide together so they lock hands in hopes they end together or try to kill each other around the same time to end up seeing each other again or just tired of living. However, I guess suicide can sometimes lead to a chain linking to someone or something
The way I've always seen the song is less that kikuo is condoning/encouraging suicide, and more that kikuo is encouraging us to reflect on our own state of mind. It's probably a vent song written from his own dark place, and people listening can acknowledge the reasons why they might want to die and see through the creepy song that it's a twisted train of thought. There's a lot of media that covers dark topics and leaves you feeling worse out the other end purely because of the heaviness and regardless of quality, but I've always found kikuo's work cathartic rather than something to add to the weight. That's just my experience though
I agree, it seems like the song itself is a kind of representation of the darkest parts of your mind that contain very little rationality and are instead filled with raw and unspoken emotion
Exactly. Art is a form of expression. People who believe this song is encouraging suicide are... being really silly. *Of course* it's not encouraging suicide 🤦♀️ "If you write about this thing, you are this thing, encouraging this thing, glorifying it." Romanticization and encouragement is definitely an existing thing in media but I doubt that was the goal of this song. It's probably the personification of the creator's own thoughts and urges.
A quote that I've heard about Kikuo's music is that "Art should disturb the comfortable, and comfort the disturbed." Honestly Kikuo is my favourite artist because he's not necessarily trying to be edgy. His music is less meant to romanticize these topics, and more meant to represent the different ways that people cope through mental illness. My interpretation of Corpse Dance is that these are the intrusive thoughts of those who are suicidal. I find that so many people take his music at face value, which is the opposite of his goal. What I love about Kikuo's songs is that they make you think, and you can feel the message of the song even without understand japanese. :>
Huh. That quote actually makes a lot of sense. When I'm having a really bad episode, listening to disturbing Vocaloid songs somehow makes me feel better.
This is exactly how I feel about it. The “one step, one step” line especially brings to mind some of my own dark moments. It won’t even be a bad time for me, but my brain will suddenly remind me that I could just… go out the window, land on the stone patio, and not worry about the consequences. It felt more like someone who also feels like this commiserating about it than encouraging the end result.
ironically enough i used to listen to this song to stop myself from going through with it. something about it let me vent out my pain and stopped my brain from rationalizing a plan and i'm genuinely thankful for this song because of that lmao
Same here weirdly enough when I listen to this song instead of being enticed to wanting to die more, my brain instead said "hold the fuck up something ain't right here" and makes me not want to do it anymore. Strange shit right there
when I try looking at it from that perspective, one of the first things that come to mind is: "If vocaloid is singing about it, then it's probably a 'no no'/not the best way."
I do this all the time. When stuff hurts too bad and I can’t do anything, listening to music about it vents for me, since other way of venting…aren’t good
Just gives me the urge to give another cut on my wrists- But like too much of a coward by *pain* I just have two cuts thinking about adding another one 🤔
Its ok if you take breaks, good to see youtubers take time for themselves! Also I love this song I want to learn the violin part of it. Sounds so cool and fun

My interpretation of the song is not that it encourages suicide, but it's but it's suicidal thoughts put to music. Especially the parts about "when keeping alive is too hard" and how being dead is "fun and joyful". And the joyful music could also be a part of it, other than Kikuo being Kikuo, as "Sudden cheerfulness after a bout of depression" is a warning sign that someone with suicidal thoughts might end their life. It's catchy and many people might only hear the cheerfulness, not realizing the worrying words, just like in real life. Love your videos !
I love how cosplayers are dancing happily and posing to this song on tiktok and some might not even know the lyrics to this song or at least are aware on how dark this song actually is-
(Lil messy rant here/ brain vomit (?):) I've been suicidal since I was around ten until 6-9 months ago (I'm currently 15) In my case, most of what let me to this state was completely internal, I wasn't encouraged to do this or abused, which makes me quite a lucky one compared to many others. Did I ever get to make plans on self death? Yes. Did I ever get to write notes, detail the plan(s) and buy necessary props? Yes. Did I ever get to attempt? Yesn't. Did I ever want to actually do it? I, frankly, don't quite know. My decisions were never clearly (greatly) influenced by anyone as far as I'm concerned, so it indeed is hard for me to believe that someone would be pushed over the edge just because of this song. Does this mean that that can't happen? No. While no mentally healthy person would really ever consider going that far because of a song and certaintly even many of the already close to the edge people out there wouldn't either, that doesn't mean that there can't be exceptions. Let's be careful. Also, to anyone that is "close to the edge"... It's not worth it. Not one bit. Every time my plans would fail, like someone arriving home and having to hide everything, all I could think about after my head cooled down was "What did I just do?". That made me realize that I would have most likely regretted it and that I definitely wasn't capable of decent reasoning when I was a bout to do it. Then again, this realization didn't last long. I tried again and again, and then I was way too exhausted to try again. It's quite a terrifying thing to do, to try to take one's own life. I'm a big coward so I just decided to wait my life out. I started feeling like I was eventually going to die, and not from old age, not from an illness. I didn't quite know why but that just was what I felt. It makes no sense but that's the truth. People can't really reason well when in that kind of situation. You're probably thinking that then all you have to do is to do it well in one attempt and bye bye, right? Well, no. Like I said, people don't really reason well in that kind of situation, and you'll most likely regret it. You'll regret it because you don't want to die. You just want a different life. That's the truth. You maybe are too scared of wathever future you think awaits you, too scared of your present or too haunted by your past. You don't want to die, you just want to have lived a different life. If you're in an abusive relationship, then fuck them. If you think you're useless, then learn a skill. Any skill. Maybe start by picking up a shirt from the floor and work your way up day by day, until you learn something new. If you think that life is pointless, then make up a meaning for yours. If you think that by leaving a toxic relationship you're being selfish, a coward or useless, then be it if it'll get you the fuck outta there. But it's really easy for me to type this and tell you. You're thinking that it's not that simple, and you're right. Also, this comment will be pointless unless you don't let it be. No one will be able to help you unless you let them. No one can help you if you don't help yourself first. It's not that they don't want to, they just can't unless you do so first. I can't really help you very far, but still don't do it. If you're really too tired, in pain or terrifyed to try and change your situation, just try to wait it out. Maybe things can get better eventually. Maybe something unexpected will happen, but you'll never know if you kill yourself, so don't do it. At least wait. Wait until you get the strength to change things, or until they get better on their own. But just wait. Don't do it. Seriously, don't. If it's not for you, then wether you realize it or not, you doing that will get someone in lots of pain, so if it's not for you at least do it for them. But don't hurt yourself, just don't.
I want to do it cause I've been groomed by a man when I was 11, abused by my family to an extent that now everything is my fault, I simply can't do anything anymore and I will never achieve my goals with how disgusting I am, nobody wants to love a person like me
@@TheGoreTheorists None of that was your fault. You are a beautiful person that still has so much potential and beauty. I'm not sure how you are, or anything really, but I just want to ask to keep going. It is going to be fucking hard, but please try. You are capable of so much, you are worth so much that there aren't words to describe it. And if you can't believe in yourself that much, maybe at least know that I, some stranger on the internet, does believe in you and all of your inherent goodness. I believe in you.
im in this sort of terrible situation right now, i hate when people ask me “why are you even depressed/suicidal? like wth u have no reason” and when i say “i dont know” they just say “see?? not even you have a reason.” like should there always be a reason? its not like i chose to be suicidal and depressed, its really not okay that people ask stuff like that
Hey, we're around the same age then, I'm 16...it started for me at age 10 as well.. I'm very glad you shared this, it's extremely inspiring, you know? To know someone that's technically my peer managed to get to enough mental and emotional health, that you actively give advice and discourage ending it all... While I do wonder what would happened if I do "it" to myself, I've decided long ago (Age 13) to never go through with it. For the reasons you've stated, actually...such as how horribly me leaving could harm those I love most. How there's always another day ahead, that life could change for the better in the future. Truly, words to live by... I hope you're in a better place now.. in every health aspect, I mean. Your story means a lot to me, again- Thank you for sharing from your heart. Please, take care, I hope only the best for you.
idk but the least thing kikuos songs are is romanticized. They make you feel exactly what they are supposed to - discomfort. I think they are more about going through some kind of tough experience, often from a pov of a child which makes you even more uncomfortable, again, as it is supposed to
AAAAA you finally listened to corpse dance 😭😭 song recommendation:egoist/flower and other maretu songs(idk if you already reacted to it,but megamist is rlly good)
@@beatrizzamarrenhoxavier3159 the name is egoist, the voicebank used is flower. It's put in the youtube title like that, but inside the video the only title written is エゴイスト, which is egoist. I know it can be confusing tho
You should react to The Girl Who Sells Misfortune, it's one of my favorites Kikuo's songs, there are 2 versions, one sing by Miku and one by Hanatan, and the feeling changes a lot, one feel like the someone singing the girl's story and the other one as the girl singing it herself. Also, react to some Babuchan songs if you want more weird and creepy songs, One of my favorite one is Happy Child, which is based on the Greek mythology, Cronus myth to be more exact. Balloooon Syndrome, 0 People's Waltz and 13階段のすべりだい really good and more of their usual style
I noticed how this particular translation shooshiMooshi reacted to portrayed it more like a nice and good thing to do, successfully lifting your mood about it, making you feel like it's the right thing to do, making you find it normal, and actually encouraging you to do it with nice words. The original video's captions though, even with the same meaning but just phrased differently, make it seem as if not nice people are inviting you to die, to go enjoy the afterlife full of eternal joy, but demons trying to convince you to join them so they don't have to ""feel lonely". While a depressed person would take both as a green light, the original makes you feel somehow guiltier and even scared about it and would actually make some people reconsider. Just a reminder that you shouldn't do it!!
thats really inchresting actually! the original phrasing does pull on the guilt strings. Especially if you are from a religious background (as i am) i just wish the phrasing's weren't changed or atleast should've been somewhat publicly noted before, so people wouldn't get s different idea or impression. Not to say that the other one is better 😶
you should react to The Distortionist by GHOST. it's a really good song and it's so catchy. it also has darker undertones. it's one of my favorite vocaloids
Once again asking for a reaction to an Otetsu song! Carnival, Oppression Confusion Girl, Rubick’s Cube, Tightrope Walking, Candy and Chains, Noraneko, there’s plenty of disturbing/depressing options!
Bro I love otetsu. I just haven’t seen the lyrics for a lot of his songs. I’m just so happy tho that he was mentioned tho because in vocaloid fan spaces he never seems to get any love
@@peanutbutterex Saaaaaaaame, nobody talks about him outside of the three or so songs he has in Project Diva, which is a CRIME, considering that, in my humble opinion, only one of them is among his better works. Nobody talks about his better songs and it’s a shame.
I think the main message of corpse dance is kikuo venting to us on how HE wanted to die because (i think) someone telling him to unalive himself. Knowing kikuo, he made a lot of heavy subject songs such as abuse, sexual abuse, unhealthy obsession and suicide. How do I know this? I listened to his songs fully aware of the meaning when i was 8. he was the first person who i actually related to a lot. (and still do) because of the heavy topics. and, please do not hate on me for this, it is just a theory and i did not research the actual meaning behind this because i do not have enough time to. but if you can pleas correct me if my theory is wrong (and possibly give me the actual meaning behind this song).
This reaction reminded me of some dream I had last year, months after lockdown, my toxic classmates, friends, acquaintances from class and I cheerfully marched around the little village we live in, sending them off one by one to their houses and families safely as the sun completely sets and no moon rises, no stars even if the time seemed on fast forward. I counted our numbers as it dwindled while I nonchalantly passed by my street, making the rest of my classmates think I live farther or than the rest of them, though I wasn't alone who played pretend, wanting to run away as a group.
I know that this is a dark song but I still listen and sing it nearly everyday, I'm such a sucker for dark vocaloid songs. The part of "rotten sausages" grosses me out but mann.. I even sang to it during the video-
Yes, so happy to see that you reacted to this song! If you want to get deeper into the Vocaloid world I would recommend some Nashimoto-P. His songs are really great like "I'm Only Just Getting Started". "Hyperventilation Dance", "The Worst Person", and "Wanting to die in my teens, Wanting to Kill in my Twenties", and "Screaming Man B" are just a few of my personal favorites. But he has a great catalog of songs, that I think they would be worth a watch.
Heyo- I enjoy your Vocaloid analysis videos. Here are some suggestions for some other Vocaloid songs: Coin Locker Baby - Maretu Suji - Maretu White Happy - Maretu Brain Revolution Girl - Maretu I'm a Maretu fan.
I honestly think that this song would be used as something to turn people away from suicide, almost like when someone shows you a video of an animal being slaughtered to stop you from eating meat. When you see exactly what you are going to do, what you're going to be experiencing in morbid detail, it scares you. There was one time where I was feeling so bad that I wrote everything that I was feeling and thinking, and drawing my hallucinations, and when I went back to them when I was back from the ward, it was disturbing and now whenever I feel that bad, I look at those papers and it makes me not want to go through with it. And notice at the end there was no "cha cha ooh!" Probably meaning that the people who were commiting suicide regretted it at their last moments.
I highly recommend Color & Electricity by Mushi-P, it’s a weird song but also super catchy And it gets dark real fast- Edit: I also just found this song called the “this is the happiness and peace of mind committee”, very happy song I definitely recommend it.
I never really thought you were supposed to agree with Kikuo's songs. One of the most common themes are toxic ideologies. "Im sorry" , "love me love me love me" and so many more. They work as a warning of how easily people can be corrupted. Im sorry is so distrurbing i cant repeat it here without getting this comment deleted. Love me love me love me is a song about narcisism. Though it takes a more metaphorical approach You Are a Useless Child is about a mother projecting her insecurities on her neurodivergent son and either causing him to run away or worse..
Do “the cat’s dining table” next it’s a really good kikuo song! (It’s mostly accordion but there’s a few sections on lyrics but is mor mysterious then dark imo)
I hope you're not overwhelmed with song recommendations, but I suggest that you (at least sometime) listen to Emptiness, Emptiness, Emptiness of Emptiness by Kikuo! It's kinda long (8 mins) but it's... I mean, it's good? Kind of similar to Hole Dwelling but not. ANYWAYS can't wait for the next video :)
I'm not quite sure if you've heard this one before, but it's a really sad song that doesn't get recognized enough as it should. It's called "Goodbye" by VocaCircus. I believe they are pretty big in the Vocaloid fandom as well.
How other artists try to prevent su!c!de: Don't do it! It's not worth it! You're worth it! Kikuo's music: *Do it. No balls* Can confirm as someone who definitely listened to this when thinking about committing, it actually helps. Kikuo you crazy fella, you did it.
As someone who’s had thoughts like these in the past I believe the point of the song being so catchy and encouraging is to mimic what it feels like to think about ending it in times you have those feelings. It’s like in the idea of being free from your pain it’s almost a celebration worthy event (which of course it isn’t) but your brain lies to you and tries to convince you that you’ll feel so good, dancing with the other corpses so to speak rather than dealing with the pain of living. It honestly shows how talented kikuo is. I remember loving this song back then, not fully understanding the meaning but now that I don’t have those thoughts anymore it makes so much sense why I liked it so much. I felt understood in a way. He truly is a genius.
The lyrics, the violin and the feelings that each person who holds hands presents is simply perfection, that's why I love the song or is it that I'm just a masochist
If you want to listen kikuo i definitely recommend Nobure!Susume!Takai Tou! because that is my most favorite vocaloid song ever.I actually loved the Miku version more but Hanatan's vocals are fire.O Light also,because the chorus is a so fricking so strong that i really love it Also more Maretu.Because he just posted a new song called Pink and it is catchy as frick.Also try Tears,Coin Locker Baby. Also..You should try listening to Kairiki Bear too,my most favorite song is Neroism,Ángel,and Failure Girl(Failure Girl has a Maretu remix also) I know this is *A LOT* but still you should really try listening to one of these songs Edit:You should try listening to Ghost-p also,they do dark songs also.I think all of their songs are in english.And my favorites are The Distortionist,Rotary Dial,Honey i'm Home,Those who Carried on and The Chattering lack of Common Sense.And the Ghost-P fandom is my favorite because it is *FULL* of memes.
Omg... I mean i am suffering depression and sucidal... So damn. I want to die everyday but damn ☠️😂😭 Im not even afraid f death and tried everything even motives like family or friends dont or barely keep me going so it's crazy this song saying kill yourself i be saying... IM TRYING ☠️ Anyway this was fun watching 😅
3:34 Wait... what?? You have commercials on tv romanticizing the military??? That's... so weird... Didn't know that was a thing... I guess you learn something new every day...
"I know usually you want to dance to Kikuo and stuff I get that.(laughs) Trust me watch my videos . Me: "This is the only reason I watch them ✨TO DaNcE ✨"

As someone who's struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm i feel like this song is not really encouraging suicide it's more likely trying to put it into a creepy setting (for obvious reasons suicide is terrible even suicidal people know that) but i think a lot of suicidal people think it's an inviting thing.. when something is too hard and you know you can just make it stop it kind of feels like a relief. On the other hand the song as well as the animation is pointing out that running away from your problems by ending your own life doesn't help. The figures dancing around in circles?

My interpretation of the song is not that it encourages suicide, but it's but it's suicidal thoughts put to music. Especially the parts about "when keeping alive is too hard" and how being dead is "fun and joyful". And the joyful music could also be a part of it, other than Kikuo being Kikuo, as "Sudden cheerfulness after a bout of depression" is a warning sign that someone with suicidal thoughts might end their life. It's catchy and many people might only hear the cheerfulness, not realizing the worrying words, just like in real life.

(Lil messy rant here/ brain vomit (?):)
I've been suicidal since I was around ten until 6-9 months ago (I'm currently 15)
In my case, most of what let me to this state was completely internal, I wasn't encouraged to do this or abused, which makes me quite a lucky one compared to many others. Did I ever get to make plans on self death? Yes. Did I ever get to write notes, detail the plan(s) and buy necessary props? Yes. Did I ever get to attempt? Yesn't. Did I ever want to actually do it? I, frankly, don't quite know.
My decisions were never clearly (greatly) influenced by anyone as far as I'm concerned, so it indeed is hard for me to believe that someone would be pushed over the edge just because of this song.
Does this mean that that can't happen? No.
While no mentally healthy person would really ever consider going that far because of a song and certaintly even many of the already close to the edge people out there wouldn't either, that doesn't mean that there can't be exceptions. Let's be careful.
Also, to anyone that is "close to the edge"...
It's not worth it. Not one bit.
Every time my plans would fail, like someone arriving home and having to hide everything, all I could think about after my head cooled down was "What did I just do?". That made me realize that I would have most likely regretted it and that I definitely wasn't capable of decent reasoning when I was a bout to do it.
Then again, this realization didn't last long. I tried again and again, and then I was way too exhausted to try again. It's quite a terrifying thing to do, to try to take one's own life. I'm a big coward so I just decided to wait my life out. I started feeling like I was eventually going to die, and not from old age, not from an illness. I didn't quite know why but that just was what I felt. It makes no sense but that's the truth. People can't really reason well when in that kind of situation.
You're probably thinking that then all you have to do is to do it well in one attempt and bye bye, right? Well, no. Like I said, people don't really reason well in that kind of situation, and you'll most likely regret it.
You'll regret it because you don't want to die. You just want a different life. That's the truth. You maybe are too scared of wathever future you think awaits you, too scared of your present or too haunted by your past. You don't want to die, you just want to have lived a different life.
If you're in an abusive relationship, then fuck them. If you think you're useless, then learn a skill. Any skill. Maybe start by picking up a shirt from the floor and work your way up day by day, until you learn something new. If you think that life is pointless, then make up a meaning for yours. If you think that by leaving a toxic relationship you're being selfish, a coward or useless, then be it if it'll get you the fuck outta there.
But it's really easy for me to type this and tell you. You're thinking that it's not that simple, and you're right. Also, this comment will be pointless unless you don't let it be. No one will be able to help you unless you let them.
No one can help you if you don't help yourself first. It's not that they don't want to, they just can't unless you do so first.
I can't really help you very far, but still don't do it. If you're really too tired, in pain or terrifyed to try and change your situation, just try to wait it out. Maybe things can get better eventually. Maybe something unexpected will happen, but you'll never know if you kill yourself, so don't do it. At least wait. Wait until you get the strength to change things, or until they get better on their own. But just wait. Don't do it.
Seriously, don't. If it's not for you, then wether you realize it or not, you doing that will get someone in lots of pain, so if it's not for you at least do it for them.
But don't hurt yourself, just don't.
I want to do it cause I've been groomed by a man when I was 11, abused by my family to an extent that now everything is my fault, I simply can't do anything anymore and I will never achieve my goals with how disgusting I am, nobody wants to love a person like me
@@TheGoreTheorists None of that was your fault. You are a beautiful person that still has so much potential and beauty. I'm not sure how you are, or anything really, but I just want to ask to keep going. It is going to be fucking hard, but please try. You are capable of so much, you are worth so much that there aren't words to describe it. And if you can't believe in yourself that much, maybe at least know that I, some stranger on the internet, does believe in you and all of your inherent goodness. I believe in you.
@@TheGoreTheorists please get therapy, nothing is your fault and groomers will burn eternally. don't waste your life
im in this sort of terrible situation right now, i hate when people ask me “why are you even depressed/suicidal? like wth u have no reason” and when i say “i dont know” they just say “see?? not even you have a reason.” like should there always be a reason? its not like i chose to be suicidal and depressed, its really not okay that people ask stuff like that
Hey, we're around the same age then, I'm 16...it started for me at age 10 as well.. I'm very glad you shared this, it's extremely inspiring, you know? To know someone that's technically my peer managed to get to enough mental and emotional health, that you actively give advice and discourage ending it all...
While I do wonder what would happened if I do "it" to myself, I've decided long ago (Age 13) to never go through with it. For the reasons you've stated, actually...such as how horribly me leaving could harm those I love most. How there's always another day ahead, that life could change for the better in the future. Truly, words to live by...
I hope you're in a better place now.. in every health aspect, I mean. Your story means a lot to me, again- Thank you for sharing from your heart. Please, take care, I hope only the best for you.
I'm going to confess.
I did the dance of the corpses.
You had people to do it with?
Yes my friend and little sister.
@@junkoyosan7587 little sister? Thats kinda fucked :/
But you're able to type this comment?
idk but the least thing kikuos songs are is romanticized. They make you feel exactly what they are supposed to - discomfort. I think they are more about going through some kind of tough experience, often from a pov of a child which makes you even more uncomfortable, again, as it is supposed to
I never realized that this song is quite literally encouraging ppl to off themselves 💀
AAAAA you finally listened to corpse dance 😭😭 song recommendation:egoist/flower and other maretu songs(idk if you already reacted to it,but megamist is rlly good)
Egoist is by Oonuma
Parsley I think
@@lemvanisters6923 oh,I don't remember the autor of the song rn,but egoist/flower is actually the name of the song
Here's the link:ruclips.net/video/QprnVxCveSY/видео.html
@@beatrizzamarrenhoxavier3159 the name is egoist, the voicebank used is flower. It's put in the youtube title like that, but inside the video the only title written is エゴイスト, which is egoist. I know it can be confusing tho
@@lemvanisters6923 aaaaahh ok,i didn't know that
You should react to The Girl Who Sells Misfortune, it's one of my favorites Kikuo's songs, there are 2 versions, one sing by Miku and one by Hanatan, and the feeling changes a lot, one feel like the someone singing the girl's story and the other one as the girl singing it herself.
Also, react to some Babuchan songs if you want more weird and creepy songs, One of my favorite one is Happy Child, which is based on the Greek mythology, Cronus myth to be more exact. Balloooon Syndrome, 0 People's Waltz
and 13階段のすべりだい really good and more of their usual style
Y E S I love that song it's soo good
Tbh I like the hanatan version more, it has more emotion
hell yeah raveyard time 💃💃💃
also looks like im going straight to hell for the million times ive listened to this and memorize every part
Yeah but it’s such a good song tho 😂
@@mystery_6667 i agree 1000% idc if im going to hell this is an absolute bop
Kikuo is one of my favorite vocaloid creatures
love the vocaloid asap cover in the background!
I noticed how this particular translation shooshiMooshi reacted to portrayed it more like a nice and good thing to do, successfully lifting your mood about it, making you feel like it's the right thing to do, making you find it normal, and actually encouraging you to do it with nice words. The original video's captions though, even with the same meaning but just phrased differently, make it seem as if not nice people are inviting you to die, to go enjoy the afterlife full of eternal joy, but demons trying to convince you to join them so they don't have to ""feel lonely". While a depressed person would take both as a green light, the original makes you feel somehow guiltier and even scared about it and would actually make some people reconsider.
Just a reminder that you shouldn't do it!!
thats really inchresting actually! the original phrasing does pull on the guilt strings.
Especially if you are from a religious background (as i am)
i just wish the phrasing's weren't changed or atleast should've been somewhat publicly noted before, so people wouldn't get s different idea or impression.
Not to say that the other one is better 😶
I was obsessed with this song in early 2019 haha
babe wake up, shooshimooshi uploaded a new video.
y’all ever just:
💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻
You should react to MARETU’s new song “Pink”. It’s so good!!!!!
A SONG WITH SUCH A HEAVY MEANING SHOULD NOT BE THIS CATCHY
you should react to The Distortionist by GHOST. it's a really good song and it's so catchy. it also has darker undertones. it's one of my favorite vocaloids
Once again asking for a reaction to an Otetsu song! Carnival, Oppression Confusion Girl, Rubick’s Cube, Tightrope Walking, Candy and Chains, Noraneko, there’s plenty of disturbing/depressing options!
Bro I love otetsu. I just haven’t seen the lyrics for a lot of his songs. I’m just so happy tho that he was mentioned tho because in vocaloid fan spaces he never seems to get any love
@@peanutbutterex Saaaaaaaame, nobody talks about him outside of the three or so songs he has in Project Diva, which is a CRIME, considering that, in my humble opinion, only one of them is among his better works. Nobody talks about his better songs and it’s a shame.
@@LotusHearted I don’t know a lot of his other songs by name but I love his music
I luv your Phos pfp
@@Qanww Thanks, being a HnK fan is suffering.
I think the main message of corpse dance is kikuo venting to us on how HE wanted to die because (i think) someone telling him to unalive himself. Knowing kikuo, he made a lot of heavy subject songs such as abuse, sexual abuse, unhealthy obsession and suicide. How do I know this? I listened to his songs fully aware of the meaning when i was 8. he was the first person who i actually related to a lot. (and still do) because of the heavy topics. and, please do not hate on me for this, it is just a theory and i did not research the actual meaning behind this because i do not have enough time to. but if you can pleas correct me if my theory is wrong (and possibly give me the actual meaning behind this song).
I may or may not be a week late but glad that Kikuo continues to get the credit he deserves. My man's perfect at making the best kind of earworms.
This reaction reminded me of some dream I had last year, months after lockdown, my toxic classmates, friends, acquaintances from class and I cheerfully marched around the little village we live in, sending them off one by one to their houses and families safely as the sun completely sets and no moon rises, no stars even if the time seemed on fast forward. I counted our numbers as it dwindled while I nonchalantly passed by my street, making the rest of my classmates think I live farther or than the rest of them, though I wasn't alone who played pretend, wanting to run away as a group.
Nobody:
shooshiMooshi at Kikuo: His power level is over 9000!
The lyrics: saying how if your feeling slewicidal you should just end it all
People in the back: *cha cha real smooth*
I know that this is a dark song but I still listen and sing it nearly everyday, I'm such a sucker for dark vocaloid songs. The part of "rotten sausages" grosses me out but mann.. I even sang to it during the video-
After gommene gommene nothing can faze me anymore
@nazunasapostle1stapostleof755 once you learn about 'gommene gommene' you're soon desensitized of other stuff 😅
I’ve never known the English lyrics to Corpse Dance because I was too lazy to look them up, but now that I see this video.. I LIKE IT EVEN MOR-
Yes, so happy to see that you reacted to this song!
If you want to get deeper into the Vocaloid world I would recommend some Nashimoto-P. His songs are really great like "I'm Only Just Getting Started". "Hyperventilation Dance", "The Worst Person", and "Wanting to die in my teens, Wanting to Kill in my Twenties", and "Screaming Man B" are just a few of my personal favorites. But he has a great catalog of songs, that I think they would be worth a watch.
My man lookin like a hentai protagonist from this angle 1:07
You should react to "Streaming Hearts" it's really good
The Vocaloid is Hatsune Miku
Or
You could react to "Tokyo Teddy Bear" by Neru
YES
Heyo- I enjoy your Vocaloid analysis videos. Here are some suggestions for some other Vocaloid songs:
Coin Locker Baby - Maretu
Suji - Maretu
White Happy - Maretu
Brain Revolution Girl - Maretu
I'm a Maretu fan.
I honestly think that this song would be used as something to turn people away from suicide, almost like when someone shows you a video of an animal being slaughtered to stop you from eating meat. When you see exactly what you are going to do, what you're going to be experiencing in morbid detail, it scares you. There was one time where I was feeling so bad that I wrote everything that I was feeling and thinking, and drawing my hallucinations, and when I went back to them when I was back from the ward, it was disturbing and now whenever I feel that bad, I look at those papers and it makes me not want to go through with it. And notice at the end there was no "cha cha ooh!" Probably meaning that the people who were commiting suicide regretted it at their last moments.
YES FINALLY
Ive been waiting for a reaction of this song
I highly recommend Color & Electricity by Mushi-P, it’s a weird song but also super catchy
And it gets dark real fast-
Edit: I also just found this song called the “this is the happiness and peace of mind committee”, very happy song
I definitely recommend it.
I never really thought you were supposed to agree with Kikuo's songs. One of the most common themes are toxic ideologies. "Im sorry" , "love me love me love me" and so many more. They work as a warning of how easily people can be corrupted.
Im sorry is so distrurbing i cant repeat it here without getting this comment deleted.
Love me love me love me is a song about narcisism. Though it takes a more metaphorical approach
You Are a Useless Child is about a mother projecting her insecurities on her neurodivergent son and either causing him to run away or worse..
You should listen to “Not Photogenic” by Utsu-P!
YES
Do “the cat’s dining table” next it’s a really good kikuo song! (It’s mostly accordion but there’s a few sections on lyrics but is mor mysterious then dark imo)
I hope you're not overwhelmed with song recommendations, but I suggest that you (at least sometime) listen to Emptiness, Emptiness, Emptiness of Emptiness by Kikuo! It's kinda long (8 mins) but it's... I mean, it's good? Kind of similar to Hole Dwelling but not. ANYWAYS can't wait for the next video :)
YES
It causes me panic attacks for no reason but i'm hungry for the reaction
日本のボカロ好きです！！
いつも動画楽しくみてます
リクエストなのですがmaretuさんの曲をリアクションしてほしいです！
これからも動画作り頑張ってください❤️❤️❤️
Friendly reminder that a reaction to Dasu's songs, especially 86 and DIVINE, would be really cool
Ngl, the lil dudes on screen are straight VIBING
Some songs you should consider next are Merry Bad End, Hello Dystopia, Deja Vu, Jigsaw Puzzle, and Ikasama Dance by MafuMafu
'What's a kikuo song without Hatsune Miku??'
Have you heard of chiri chiri juusou?
I'm not quite sure if you've heard this one before, but it's a really sad song that doesn't get recognized enough as it should. It's called "Goodbye" by VocaCircus. I believe they are pretty big in the Vocaloid fandom as well.

I think you should do the song coin locker baby!
How other artists try to prevent su!c!de:
Don't do it! It's not worth it! You're worth it!
Kikuo's music:
*Do it. No balls*
Can confirm as someone who definitely listened to this when thinking about committing, it actually helps. Kikuo you crazy fella, you did it.
Dude needs to listen to Coin Locker Baby and or First Cry
This song actually helped with me wanting to kermit myself
Same.. I used to listen to this song all the time after being abused by my step father a couple of years back
TW
As a person who's suicidal person I still do listen to this song knowing lyrics and think of ways of dying but always something holds me back.
I love this song sm
*aggressively singing*
I want to join in the corpse dance... I am fucking tired of this life😮💨😮💨😒😒
enough is ennough...
Omg finally he did it I want him to react to the new steam pianist song with Oliver
I'm so glad to find someone who does good reactions to these Vocaloid songs! Hope you'll discover more and maybe try the Daughter of Evil series
I always sing along to this as a suicidal person myself I’m fucked up and I’m going to hell probably
As someone who’s had thoughts like these in the past I believe the point of the song being so catchy and encouraging is to mimic what it feels like to think about ending it in times you have those feelings. It’s like in the idea of being free from your pain it’s almost a celebration worthy event (which of course it isn’t) but your brain lies to you and tries to convince you that you’ll feel so good, dancing with the other corpses so to speak rather than dealing with the pain of living. It honestly shows how talented kikuo is. I remember loving this song back then, not fully understanding the meaning but now that I don’t have those thoughts anymore it makes so much sense why I liked it so much. I felt understood in a way. He truly is a genius.
what a banger shawty, you already know I HAD this saved on Spotify🤝
👁👁
Oh my god "Nobore Susume Takai Tou" would be such a fun reaction, it sounds so happy but my GOD the story
This is my favorite song
**Decends to hell**
I guess I’m going to hell
Kikuo is hands down my favorite artist. Some songs can sound all cute but the lyrics are just dark but it is legit so cool
Been waiting for corpse dance!
Bro have had this in my playlist for so long and I never read the lyrics
Kikuo and Maretu the songs are so good but the lyrics are like WOW
The lyrics, the violin and the feelings that each person who holds hands presents is simply perfection, that's why I love the song or is it that I'm just a masochist
nah, the piano and the violin with the whole theme of a march??? ofc it was going to be catchy, from a musical sense, its a really good combination
I USED TO LISTEN TO THIS ALL THE TIME IN MY DANGANRONPA PHASE I DIDNT KNOW WHAT IT MENT 😭
If you want to listen kikuo i definitely recommend Nobure!Susume!Takai Tou! because that is my most favorite vocaloid song ever.I actually loved the Miku version more but Hanatan's vocals are fire.O Light also,because the chorus is a so fricking so strong that i really love it
Also more Maretu.Because he just posted a new song called Pink and it is catchy as frick.Also try Tears,Coin Locker Baby.
Also..You should try listening to Kairiki Bear too,my most favorite song is Neroism,Ángel,and Failure Girl(Failure Girl has a Maretu remix also)
I know this is *A LOT* but still you should really try listening to one of these songs
Edit:You should try listening to Ghost-p also,they do dark songs also.I think all of their songs are in english.And my favorites are The Distortionist,Rotary Dial,Honey i'm Home,Those who Carried on and The Chattering lack of Common Sense.And the Ghost-P fandom is my favorite because it is *FULL* of memes.
Omg... I mean i am suffering depression and sucidal... So damn.
I want to die everyday but damn
☠️😂😭
Im not even afraid f death and tried everything even motives like family or friends dont or barely keep me going so it's crazy this song saying kill yourself i be saying...
IM TRYING ☠️
Anyway this was fun watching 😅
if you like banger songs with dark themes, i highly suggest Takayan
he makes amazing songs about struggles most people have like mental health issues
3:34 Wait... what?? You have commercials on tv romanticizing the military??? That's... so weird... Didn't know that was a thing... I guess you learn something new every day...
as soon as I heard it I just started dancing
it’s gonna be one of my favorites
"I know usually you want to dance to Kikuo and stuff I get that.(laughs) Trust me watch my videos .
Me: "This is the only reason I watch them ✨TO DaNcE ✨"
Were at the phase of Sooshi becoming lightly hooked by kikuo... Kikuo addiction coming soon
This isn't even related to this video but Once I was on my TV watching you tube and found a ad tat said ur mom is fat.. AND ITS TRUE!
I love this song,there’s another song by Kikuo sorta like this? It’s called Breaking things into pieces.
Y E S P E R F E C T G R E A T S O N G
React to ハツコイソウ / FLG4 (Selfcover). It's is also called Hatsukoisou i believe
It's one of those songs that make you feel like you're agreeing with the actions of this song if you bop your head
