I think calling it "I'm glad you're evil too" gives a bit of a misrepresentation. Sure, it could be translated as such, but the term used (warui hito) also just literally means bad person, which can be interpreted a lot differently. Personally, I see it as just... I'm glad you're also bad at being a normal person. A lot of the lyrics resonate from this sentiment too, as none of the things mentioned are evil, just unconventional or irresponsible. It resonates with our own struggle to adhere to society and our own failures at doing what is expected of us. It finds love and companionship in those imperfections, and gives us a bit of hope for ourselves as well. That's my own reading of it, at least.
I personally see the "Evil" as just non conforming to society. as you said, none of the things are evil, just unconventional or responsible which can be seen as "evil" to society.
@@osuWhite I mean, official translation doesn't mean it is 1:1 translation, so? For example, the "Nobody Makes Sense" in Japanese is a bit more specific (Bokura wa Minna Imi Fumei/None of Us Make Any Sense) while the translation more seems to carry a sense of separating the speaker character from the others, and What's Inside is technically literally "Do you have [internal] organs?" (Naizou arimasu ka) rather than What's Inside, so. I do agree warui hito really doesn't convey same level of "evil" in the sense people tend to consider it in English so much as meaning a bad person/someone not so perfect in this case. Shoganai does have a point that you can argue it fits that way too, but yeah.
@Arona Hikari99 I"ll translate "waruihito" simply as "non Mr perfect type person, stay with me without leave me behind and go beyond my reach alone" his lyrics often use simple word but put so much meaning on to it, looks and sounds simple but you could find more deeper meanings if you listen multiple times, fun to listen every time.
I agree... this song is just really good compositionally, you like?? Don’t realise how long it is and the lyrics are so mass appeal... but still stays very pinoP
when glad evil was published, i still havent familiar with vocaloid yet (because of their voice), but i also wanted to dig into that rabbit hole, so i listened to voc song cover instead. I your cover of glad evil is what make me really fall in love with the original song (yours too) Just want to say that. My english was kinda bad, but anw thank you, rachie.
PinocchioP, so many of his songs it feels like it digs into our lives personal experiences and rips it out into the open to tell its story, then weave a story and in a way positive lesson. We wish we spoke his language simply so we could learn more about the world of his thoughts views so on.
Lyrically, he's shifted a lot over the years. He felt really pessimistic in songs like Nice to Meet You Earthling and other things around that time. Meanwhile I love PinocchioP's later stuff, especially Ghosts Play to the Audience, Mei Mei, and of course this. This is maybe my favorite song of all time. It's a simple love song about enjoying other's company and simple pleasures (Mei Mei for what it's worth is also about simple pleasures, but in a way where its like "the world is so beautiful") It also has a perfect ending. But honestly the lyrics, just how realistic and hopeful and /in love/ they are, is just my favorite thing. This song makes me feel so cozy, I love it so much.
ikr ? i think this song is about two persons who ''gave up'', they live in the ignorance of the problems, and enjoy simple things, it's like a kind lie
@@pofficial3345 honestly I just plain old prefer the idea of this song not being anything dark. You can have whatever theories you want about it, but this song is too much of a comfort to be ever taken as anything fake or deceitful to me. I do get what you mean though, for sure
I love PinocchioP. He was the producer that got me into Vocaloid again. This song was definitely a big reason. I think what I always really like about his songs is the way they seem to have a similar idea. In my own interpretation at least. I love how he has a lot of happy sounding songs with cynical lyrics, or some kinda sad sounding songs with hopeful lyrics. I also think I’m Glad You’re Evil Too is a pretty simple love song. Or, simple in its meaning I guess. It’s the way it describes the simple emotions and memories that makes it complex. In my opinion at least. I love so many of his songs. But I’m Glad You’re Evil Too is definitely my favourite of his.
When you first hear this song, it seems so deceptively simple with the lyrics and visuals but grips you strongly with the familiar feeling of sharing love with someone. Then you replay it over and over again and realize there's something you missed the first time with every replay. I also felt like this song was PinocchioP's way of being vulnerable and opening up about something precious, compared to the sense of apathy and sarcasm that most of his other works carried. Looking forward to watching your deep dive video on his other works!
Okay but other than "I'm glad you're evil too", pinocchioP has other underrated beautiful music like "The silence of the lamb" (Hitsujitachi no chinmoku), "I forgot why" (Wasurechatta doushite), and "Beautiful Fiction". Those are all my favorites if not out of all pinocchioP's music, out of all vocaloid music. If you like "I'm glad you're evil too" I'm sure you'll like those 3 songs too!
yeah!! some of my underrated favorites are ponkotsu tenshi, strange animal, black hole ville shopping street, and hero wont come speaking of, why cant i find hero wont come anywhere on youtube? really weird
Fun fact: this song is what got me into Vocaloid. I first heard Rachie’s cover of it and was like “huh that’s cool” and checked out the original, which made me love Vocaloid.
This is the kind of song that gives so many strong emotions the first time listening that I just wish I could forget the song completely so I can get that feeling of the first time again. I rarely get this kind of feel when listening to a song. I think the only other long songs that gave me similar emotions the first time listening are Odds and Ends by ryo, Pure White Poison by Utsu-P and recently Doomsday by regulus and she by keeno. I love this kind of song and wish there was more like this but at the same time I like that they are so rare because it makes them stand out more.
Regarding songs that give the same effect as this, I recommend "Hidamari no Uta" by yuyoyuppe. It's just my personal preference, but I hope you like it too!
Indeed, the longer the song, the more risk it holds to how to not bore its audience. I think that's the fun with those songs in general, for me, since they spice you more with something and made you feel something otherworldly~
This song has held a special part of my heart ever since I first heard it. I've tried to explain why it's so good before but haven't been able to. It's always such a treat to hear someone put into words something that you haven't been able to. Zero and Yozurina I've seen considered close to this in the "slow-sad" genre, but this song always sticks out more. I think something good to bring up would also be that miku's range in this song is a lot more human, less high-range and more mid-range, I feel like it adds to people's connection with the song, like somebody's just next to them talking.
Love PinocchioP to death, and this song is easily my fav song of all time, i cry everytime hshsh,, great video! Your analysis is very interesting, explained a lot why this song is so good haha
this song has really stuck with me, it’s always made me cry just from the lyrics and the hard hitting sound when the climax hits. it’s always struck such a chord in me and you pointed out things i didn’t even think i was being affected by, but it makes sense! it makes me think of METEOR by john, the full song is around 8 minutes and starts slow, but the way it changes and moves out of the common order and keeps us listening is what makes that initial hit so powerful. the lyrics make me cry too 😭😭😭
For me the song speaks about sharing the same kind of pain with somebody, i just fell in love with the song's message of how this life can be really painful but together with somebody similar to you the world can become a little brighter everyday♡
I've already covered "I'm Glad You're Evil Too" sometime. For me it meant something about someone we hold very dearly too us. I really love this song. I'm glad you made a video talking about this one. Also Lag Train in the bg ❤️❤️
This song literally gave me chills the first time I heard it... It's incredible. Another one of my favorites from PinocchioP more recently has been Zero, as it literally changed my view on life as a whole.
My favourite producer! His growth as a music producer is certainly noticeable,P+ really made me nostalgic lol...But what stayed throughout all these years is that "closeness" you feel when you listen to his music.Even though you didn't write the song yourself you really understand what he's trying to say and the experiences he's trying to convey.Honestly I can name at least 3 instances in my life where I found a Pino song that explained my current life situation/feelings dead on. Fast tempos and general chaotic vibes just make everything better,but also make songs like I'm glad you're evil too and Last Continue stand out.Hearing Pino sing in the background and more in some songs is always a treat too.
I always feel confused the first time I listen to a PinocchioP song, almost hating it, then without realizing it I already listened to the song 3 times and am enjoying it. It's always like this with his songs. But "I'm glad you're evil too" was a love at first sight. He made most of my favorite songs, he is incredible (+ his drawings are so good !). A Vocaloid god.
True XD Most of PinocchioP's songs is like an acquired taste. At first I don't really like it, without realizing that it's already my 5th replay. But this one I instantly fell in love with. This song can be described in many words, but "beautiful" is one word I'm sure we both agree to.
This is exactly how I listen to half of his songs fmfbdj I starts out hearing it like “Ah this isn’t that good” then 6 months later I have a craving to hear it again and now I’m suddenly addicted
"What's inside" is my favourite. Im glad this channel exist so i can learn and talk more about my favourite producers. Also i wasnt excepting a referance from radiohead... that was very good.
True~ There's a catchy beat, a deceptively positive atmosphere, fascinating lyrics, a pair of black-themed mikus holding someone's intestines like it's nothing. Very cool.
Long songs are very tricky to pull off, but if you do it its incredible! Thats why meteor is my favourite vocaloid song, with 8 minutes so much is done
I love that you compared I'm glad you're evil too with how to disappear completely, bc both are songs very dear to me, they make me feel lots of things and are two of my favorite songs of all time.
As soon as I heard this song earlier this year, it instantly became one of my top favorite Vocaloid songs. The way that I interpret the title is "I'm glad you're imperfect too." Like you said, I see it as a pretty straight forward love song. Just from the first few lines, it comes from the perspective of someone who has been hurt before, whether from a past relationship or from life in general. But finally, they've found someone just as beaten down and even cynical as they are. While the rest of the world tries to look as good as possible, these two are content with how perfectly imperfect they are together. It's such a beautiful song, and I wholeheartedly agree with calling it a masterpiece. It's an emotional, audible, and visual experience. It's easy to connect with what's being described, and I think that's part of what helps draw you in at the beginning. It's not a cutesy love song; it's a bit muddled, and a lot of us have been there. But when that first tonal shift happens after the first chorus by adding synth, it kind of makes you wonder where this is going. And it keeps ramping up along with the visuals to deliver this loud, emotional gut punch of an anthem at the end. PinocchioP knew how to pull it off, and that's why this six and a half minute song just works so well. Thank you for making a video just for this song. I'm looking forward to the next video!
I don't know if this is correct, but one of the things I really like about this song is that the final string of chords doesn't seem to resolve, but it's not unsatisfying, either.
this song was the first one I truly connected to. it’s so great and I can relate to it so much that I cried while listening. especially the part where it mentions our inevitable end, but to not be afraid as long as you are having a good time in your life.
Oh my god, yes! This is my absolute favorite song and I totally agree with everything. I think a big part of what makes this song so amazing is how relatable it is. Not even specifically the love part, since many of us have never had a romantic relationship like that, and the relationship could be possibly seen as platonic anyway. I think it’s the concept of having someone you can let your guard down around and just be 100% yourself, a concept that is pretty much universal. Whether it’s a romantic partner, a family member, or a really close friend, most people have this person whom they’re just super close to who won’t judge them and will often have similar insecurities and imperfections (aka the evil - “im glad you have the same insecurities/imperfections, along with all the other stuff people say that the evil represents). If you listen to Rachie’s cover, you can hear the little bits of casual dialogue she adds in, which make this song even more sincere and further demonstrate my point. I think this relatableness extends to almost all of PinnochioP’s songs. I know I definitely felt this relatableness in his newest song, Because You’re Here, along with Motivation is Dead and Thanks for being Lifeless (which, in a way, has a similar idea to this one). This relatableness imo is the biggest reason why he is such a popular producer, not to mention his amazing melodies, aesthetic MVs, and sincere-sounding tuning style (seriously, everything he tunes has so much feeling). Also, the song is just really really sweet and makes you feel loved, as if you’re the character singing it. This song makes me (and probably everyone else who has listened to it and loved it) extremely happy. The melody and structure of the song is totally enchanting imo. It’s so satisfying to hear this song just because of how it sounds. I could probably write a lot more about why this song is so appealing XD Anyway, thanks for analyzing this song and kind of giving me confirmation that I didn’t love some song that everyone hates lol. I love your content and I look forward to your future videos!
I love this song but it holds so many sad memories. Being used to singing to someone that you love so much but that bitter sweet song turns into a dagger in the heart, a spinning pain that is unforgettable when you sing it by yourself, hating the love that you once held. It hurts so much cause both the good memories and bad ones spin together. Memories of apologizes, the pain of the screams, the warmth of the nigh forgotten embrace, and the sweet whispers now turned more sour and bitter. I cry whenever I hear it, overwhelmed by emotions that I had once forgot I was capable of feeling.
I first listened to this song when it came out, I had my first boyfriend at the time and I really connected with the song, I shared it with him too. Not too much time later he broke up with me and now every time I listen to this song I get a little sad since it reminds me of how I shared this song with him right before he broke up with me. Also last year I felt like the lyrics connected to my most recent relationship even more. I love this song, but it's hard to enjoy it when the whole thing leaves me sad.
I really want to thank PinocchioP because two of his songs inspired me and motivated me when I was not at my best. I'm not good with words but let me say that I was 'lone kid' of the classroom, it didn't bother me too much but sometimes I couldn't help but think on... let's just say "not good things", I didn't feel belonging to anywhere but his songs sort of cheered me up. When I first listened to 'All I need are things I like', the first part was basically how I felt during that period so I related myself a lot to the song but then when I reached the end I suddenly felt like I understood something and how much of a selfish prick I was. Then there was 'I'm glad that you are evil too' that made me feel like I was not alone anymore. I seriously suck at wording my feelings so just imagine the Vocaloid community as a type of flower and the genre and author are its colour. Some times the flower may be born far away from other flowers of the same type but just knowing that I'm not alone and "unique" makes me feel happy. And I want to thank this channel too, thank you very much for giving the Vocaloid fans someplace to reunite in this site.
Rotten Chocolate and Heresy, as well as Common World Domination and Ghosts Play To the Audience are my favorite works by him, but I know I can't possibly comprehend them to the extent of understanding all of what they're saying. Analytical videos help me feel like I'm stepping ever-so-slightly closer. ...and now I want to go listen to I'm Glad You're Evil Too again.
5:33 That long-ass comment is mine, and it surprised me to see it on your video (as has too, the attention it received for some time). So now I'll leave a very long comment here. I've been working on some scripts for a channel I'm building about Vocaloid and possibly anime (I know both don't have to go together but growing up, I consumed them as crazy and are very important pillars in my life), and it's all been inspired by you by the way! (Not that you'll read my comment, but that is heartwarming to me and I wanted to share it), but I'm really slow at writing and editing. I hit a brick wall so I decided to goof around in YT, I purged some suscriptions and got to your channel, saw this video I haven't had a chance to watch about one of my favorite Vocaloid songs and instantly started watching. I was also thinking about the people that had resonated with that comment. I think for many of us was a very straight forward love song, I was surprised when I read through comments and learned there was people that thought differently, and that's why I decided to just leave how I felt through my life experience written. We have stigmatized for the most part what love songs are, what they may simbolize and how are we supposed to reject them or weird stuff like that. I have internalized that too, and feel awkward if I like someone and I find it hard to be cute or lovey dovey when I get to spend time with a romantic partner. For a song to evoke on me the deepest feelings of love that I hold for a non-existent person was to say the least, unexpected. The lyrics are beautiful, contrasting an internal turnmoil between what may be perceived as good or bad, the acknowledgement of it and the pure desire of being accompanied in life, that to say it in a few words and wrap it up. The music and composition is nice and soothing, rough and tense, it goes through many things its absolutely astonishing and visuals allow to concentrate on each element of the song. Going in some sort of full circle with this has been amazing, thank you for the video (tbh haven't finished watching haha I paused because I got to excited), for your channel and, well pretty much for everything. OK SO, edit because the next seconds of the video go to a place where I didn't think it would. Damn with the reference and analogy to How to Dissapear Completely, I always forget to speak about the importance of musicality in the songs that I like and love, thank you for that analysis and deconstruction.
I feel like I got an entirely different vibe from this song my first time listening to it, ngl. the title literally having "evil" in it, along with the dark visuals in the thumbnail made it assume it'd be a creepy song, and to me it kinda was, just not in the way I expected. as the song kept building I was on edge the entire time (it was probably like 3 AM and I'm a wimp when it comes to spooky things, so) waiting for the Wholesome Love Song pretense to finally drop and for the lyrics to take a dark turn... and then they never did. the entire thing was just a sweet love song aside from the eerie video, and the line about the whole being "evil" thing. and I actually found that even creepier than if it *had* taken a dark shift lyrically towards the end. it left me unsure of how to feel and interpret it, and uncertainty is always scarier than anything. needless to say, I did fall in love with it though, and I agree with everything you said here. I just always found it odd when I'd see comments about how it's such a touching and emotional song, when that wasn't my impression of it at all. not saying they're wrong of course, if anything I'm probably the one reading too much into things, but I always found that idea of a "creepy song" with completely innocent lyrics to be one the coolest things about I'm Glad You're Evil Too. but even if it truly is just a simple, heartfelt song about love, it's still 100% a masterpiece.
PinocchioP is honestly one of my favorite artists, to choose one song of his as my favorite would be impossible. But I’m Glad Your Evil Too has been one of my favorites since its release. The way I always saw it is as a simple love song between two people that weren’t considered ‘normal’, who broke what people considered to be standard rules for the sake of living their lives better. It was such a beautiful piece that it sometimes brings me to tears if I’m emotional enough listening to it. Also I saw Lagtrain and nearly flipped my shit cause Inaba Kumori is such a good artist who deserves more attention
This song is difficult to describe for me, so props to you for tackling it. This song has a personal meaning to me and I'm glad people are still talking about it :)
I'm glad that you're evil too is still one of my comfort songs today, the lyrics and melody are just so amazing and melancholy. Everytime I listen it, I tear up. There's just something magical about it, making you smile while you cry. I'm just so incredibly thankful for Pinnochiop
i just wanna say that you're feeding into my lagtrain addiction by playing the song in the background that's all, take my like while I go replay the song a billion more times.
also i wanna say thank you for your musical analysis on vocaloid, it’s always a joy to watch and the observation are detailed enough to give new musical insight
i really REALLY love your channel. it made me remember what i love vocaloids for which is mainly for it being a kind of "self - made music" genre that just happened to blow up because of miku becoming a popular character. i always loved how different producers kept finding different ways to write their songs / their structures / the instruments they used etc while still being in the same "vocaloid genre". thank you so much for this video and i cant wait to see another video on PinocchioP, he's my absolute favourite.
OMG YES I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT SO! Pinocchio-P has such a unique, almost happy go lucky sound, but the parallels between the melodic structure and lyrics and animation are so well thought out and I just LOVE the crispness of the bass and the audio in general! AND! This song has an amazing build up that feels like someone is slowly but surely opening their heart to someone else, which feels so bittersweet and so lyrical! And that PAUSE JUST BEFORE THE LAST CHORUS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CANNOT! AND although the chords are so simple, deceptively so, they are so effective especially since they are kind of obstructed by all the textural stuff going on, and they ebb and flow along with the meaning of the lyrics... I really can't describe how much I love this song and I'm so glad you're covering it in this video :')
Good vid, i really Like Pinocchiop mainly for his lyrics so metaphorical and to give a variety of ways of interpretation. Keep up the good Work and thanks
i'm so happy i finally came across someone loving this song as much as i do! i'm glad you're evil too is one of my favourite songs and i never, never get tired of listening to it. it's just so so special. thank you for talking about it and analyzing it so well! ^ _ ^
I love PinocchioP's songs so much, my playlist that contain my favorite songs from him has thousands of plays from me alone. The 1st song I heard from him was "Slow Motion" but once I got a taste of "I'm glad you're evil too" I really became his fan, I also love Will Stetsons' english cover of this song, be sure to give the man a try. Sorry for typing such a long and pointless comment but I just wanted to get my feelings out there, thanks for reading.
Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to see you to cover a topic about Pinocchio-p, but I didn't expect that you had the same starting point as I did. "I'm glad you're evil too" was so good when I first heard it, I started to crave more for his song. and he kept releasing one masterpiece after another since then.
I always thought this song was about a gay couple in a society where being gay isn’t accepted, but even though everyone else hates them, they always have each other.
Lovely Video! Recently got into Pinocchio-p as well, so it was nice to see this. The point you made about popular Vocaloid songs lasting around 3-4 minutes really made me realize how true this was. Even in the music industry, there aren't many long or multi-structured songs that became huge with the general audience. The iconic long songs I can mainly think of are Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (~6 mins), Hey Jude by The Beatles (~7 mins) and Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day (~9 mins). But even then these songs are mainly rock influenced. I'd like to think I'm Glad You're Evil Too is kinda like these songs of the Vocaloid community, even I was so impressed and engaged by it on first listen! Really makes you think if any other Vocaloid producer can pull off a longer song.
I love Pinocchio P, especially his newer songs like Aisarenakutemo Kimi ga iru and the world hasn't started yet, but this song really touches me to the point that I may have cried multiple times just listening to this song, thank you Ubnub
ooooh i was really hoping you would do a video on pinocchioP eventually as he's one of my favourite producers! curiously, evil was the one of his big songs that never really hit me but i think i gotta give it a proper second chance after this!
1. It's an unusual song for the genre of music he typically outputs. Despite that, it's very well made. 2. Excellent video as always... just realized your editing style sort of reminds me of the What I've Learned channel. 3. The last chorus sounds like a glorious, glorious wedding march to me.
(3) to me is more like an emotional end-of-the-universe scenario, like the breakdown of existence and me dissipating with a smile to my face. Please don't judge. I'm eating pancakes right now.
Pinnochiop is my favorite vocaloid producer, and you're my favourite Vocaloid Discussion Channel!!! Seeing them combined is like,,,, instant dopamine for my slug brain!!!!
i was just saying to my friends yesterday how you hadn't uploaded in a bit and i missed your content and bam! there you are! i had never listened to pinocchiop's music before and this just convinced me to set time aside today to listen to his stuff
my ex is a big music nerd who loves long songs. she listens to stuff like ayreon and devin townsend, and I remember she use to talk abut how she liked song that evolved over it's runtime. and you can hear this in her own music. she'd take a something kinda repetitive but then add a new element to it for every verse (or w/e, alot of her own music doesn't have lyrics) making it more powerful as the you keep listening.
I'm Glad You're Evil Too is my favorite vocaloid song, and brings me to tears every karaoke trip... Seeing a video just about it was an immediate click.
This is one of the songs I think of when someone talks about music is art (like, of course music is art, but when they talk about art at a higher level). It's just so good. I love it. 💖🌟✨
Kinda late for the party, but whelp, lemme put my two cents in this. At least for me, this song gives the same vibes as Odds and Ends. I just cried uncontrollably after listening for the first time, second time and so on. It's a song that even it's not your first time, and you expect what's gonna happen, your preparation won't be enough when it actually happens. At least for me, PinocchioP really set a high standard in many ways even before this song came out (Slow Motion, Common World Domination, etc.) But this song just made you feel that "Damn, how can something this beautiful be real" while still makes it PinocchioP. The introduction makes you feel related to the Miku, the middle part is more like an "intermission", gives you the idea of "evil" in this song that it actually means someone who is content with their happy life with his/her SO while rejecting "the greater good" that draws by the society, makes you dive deep and imagine along with the lyrics while preparing you for the finale. The part that everything went silent, the pause is so perfect. And after the Miku simply inhales, starts the finale with the long "Yuu" giving a preparation of the finale, then sings along with the intense instruments going on, that is simply beautiful. Everything has been put into its place correctly. After the music ends, you realize the happiness this song gives you. Pretty similar to Odds and Ends in a sense that it helps me cope with negative thoughts, even if it's only for a while. PinocchioP's voice tuning is also what make this a masterpiece. In every section, the voice's mood is different, and that makes us even more related to the song. This is just too good. PinocchioP just did it again. Ps. For the similar song composition (it's not Vocaloid, but I feel that it gives the similar vibes), I would recommend Sea of voices by Porter Robinson (ruclips.net/video/lSooYPG-5Rg/видео.html) Pss. and yes, after "Because you are here" PinocchioP just did it again.
Gosh I love this song. I only discovered Pinocchio-P recently and I fell in love with this producer... Man these songs,,,... I'm Glad You're Evil Too almost makes me cry everytime... I love their other songs as well, a lot, they are full of weird energy and pretty deep messages, and some are just, well, fun!! I knew the songs having to be 3 minutes was because of the radio + peoples attention spans, that's also why Queen was praised for taking the risk of making Bohemian Rapsody, which was way longer than people liked at the time. I actually love long songs as well,, it has more time to captivate me and it's nice cuz... it's more of the beauty I love so much.... Thank you for making this video of appreciaion for the song I keep listening to over and over again
The moment when you actually started putting in the song around 10 minutes, I had so many waves of goosebumps. This is one of my favorite vocaloid songs of all time, and my favourite amongst all the other amazing pinocchioP songs. Truly, when I hear this song, I immediately get goosebumps.
Hey, this was very informative, but I wanted to specially thank you for fixing the audio issue I had mentioned in another video. Although I'm not sure if it was because of my comment, the background songs were in good balance with the voice here. That's an improvement I appreciate eitherway. Thanks.
You know what else is a masterpiece? This video. Also just a suggestion, you should make videos with more random topics like top 10 must listen vocaloid songs this month or top 5 most underrated vocaloid producer. I notice there's quite a few songs in the background that I don't recognize and I think we would love to explore and discover new songs while discussing it with you
While i'm sure the technical aspects about the music you mentioned might have helped with my enjoyment of the song, it's the lyrics that really resonated with me. I listened to this during a low point in my life and a song about two people, believing themselves to be fucked up human beings, finding solace in each other and finding joy in all the little things feels so... warm and comforting.
i never really cared about him either, didnt love slow motion and the other songs of the same category, but i loved common world domination, and SPECIALLY i'm glad you're evil too, today i'm discovering new awesome songs like onion+ and his newest because you're here. onion+ has great lyrics like i'm glad you're evil too, i'm glad you're evil too has this melancholic tone that is cheerful too and has a hope, and you don't know if it's a good hope but as long as there is one, it's alright, we will be alright Edit: whatever yama says goes is awesome too
I don't know why, but yeah _I'm glad you're evil too_ is very beautiful. It just hits my heart and I just want to cry every time I listen to it. Bravo, PinocchioP.
i literally felt chills at the beginning when the instrumental started playing. no matter how many times i've listened to this song and no matter how long it's been since the last time i've heard it, it just always gets to me i love this song so much
i just wanna take the time to point out that this video is also a masterpiece you wrote it very well and it was really easy to listen to, coming from someone who has a hard time paying attention to things !
This song became one of my all-time favorites as soon as I heard it. The tension and release... the atmosphere created from its composition... and the way our emotions seem to connect with what the song has to offer. I can't believe you just reviewed this masterpiece. I just woke up, but you already made my day. Thanks ubnub 😍
I appreciate you taking your time to examine this song...From what I understand, your argument is that, because of how drastically different this song is in terms of song structure, song length, and theme along with how this song takes a huge risk, this song is a masterpiece. I'm going to tell you right now: with all due respect, but...we honestly need to take a completely different approach as to how understand this song. By examining what can be perceived on the surface, we completely miss the point of what this song is. We need to understand what this song wants us to imagine. This song just helps you imagine that, despite you and your romantic interest being so human with your ups and down, you appreciate each other in the end for who you and your significant other are. It's the passion of the relationship that drives you to push through the pain of a romantic relationship and the pain of being a human. The thing about this song is that it doesn't quite make sense on it's own. Sure, at the surface, it's a nice little walk in the park with Miku. But if we just leave at that, it just feels so incomplete. Surely, there's more to this song? right? To truly understand this song, however, we have to dive deeper. We have to take a step back and take a look at things at a grander picture. Examining this song alone may not really make much sense. It almost becomes too pointless to just zero in on a song like this for too long. For this song to truly make sense, we would need to take the time and listen to the entirety of HUMAN. What we need to realize is that this song is actually a part of a concept album. not only do we need to understand that, but we also need to realize what this concept is. Only by understanding these two things will we see the true beauty of this song. IMO, The ENTIRE album of HUMAN is a masterpiece. I would even go as far as to saying that it is the TPAB of Vocaloid. It is the existential and apathetic journey of trying to answer the timeless question: what is a human? 人間ってなんだ？Every song on the album tries to explain the different aspects of what makes up a human, and this song in particular is a part of that concept. In short, this song is simply a piece of a big picture.
So... I also would like to add something to what I've said. What you've said and explained in the video isn't entirely in vain. But rather... It only proves that ピノキオピー was willing to compromise accessibility for being able to accomplish what he wanted to do. He had an artistic intent, and he compromised accessibility for what he wanted to do. If that makes sense.
Bejoba comments like yours are the reason why I try to read every comment on my videos. Can't believe this doesn't have any likes yet, should be top comment in my book. First of all, there's definitively no one right way to examine art. My analysis of what makes this a masterpiece and what you see makes this a masterpiece can both be right or can both wrong. It's merely just the opinions of critics. I wanna say I fully agree with your statements about seeing this as one piece of a larger picture. You make such a great point about comparing this song to the rest of the album that it came off of. Man that never even came to my mind admittedly, I also liked the way you compared TPAB to human as well. But i'm not sure if I entirely agree that this song NEEDS to be compared to Human. I mean look at "the blacker the berry" for example, sure it has a place within TPAB. I mean it falls right after complexion, a song that talks about ignoring racial complexions in order to bring unity. So when that song comes on afterwards the sting of the message only hurts even more. But to be honest, when you look at people talk about that song do they even mention TPAB? From what I've read, not really, instead they typically praise the song for it's statements about police brutality and racism. The way the last verse of the line completely flips the message. Or the powerful instrumental and passion in his delivery. What I'm trying to say is you don't necessarily need to examine the album the song came off of in order to understand what it's about or Pinocchiop probably wouldn't have even released this as a single.
@@ubnubmaster Ubnub my good sir it is good to hear from you again. Hope you've been doing well. It's just exciting for me to be able to discuss about Vocaloid music on a serious level. Also, I'm sorry if i sounded a bit rude on interpretation. Because of how our words and thoughts are filtered by our perspectives, it's impossible to be able to have a completely accurate way of interpreting art. it's meant to be intangible in a way so we can develop our own perspective on things. It doesn't help being an aspie. To add onto your argument with The Blacker The Berry, I believe that songs like that and 君も悪い人で良かった play an interesting role. They may provide contrast to the other songs before it and help us see the other side of the coin (or so to speak) to a presented perspective.
Love PinocchioP! I have bought a couple of his albums. A song a recently listened of his that is really great is called Sayonara Human but that song isn't Miku singing it but giving background vocals.
This song holds a very special place in my heart so much so that when me and my gf get married, this will be played at the wedding because it holds such a special place in our relationship, it perfectly describes how we fell in love and it makes me cry (yes me a biker dude with an affinity for gore and horror movies cries to vocaloid). I love this song so much it’s one of the best songs that grips me in the feels like lost one’s weeping
First time I heard 悪い人でよかった I came to your channel and looked for it or some PinocchioP video because he's so good and so I thought that I was sure you had a video about it. Now you have it xD
i recommend listenting to hachi’s (kenshi yonezu) really old vocaloid song called qualia. it’s a 6 minute music that had similar emotional/composotion progression like “i’m glad you’re evil too”. it also talks about this soulmate bonding experience in an “us against the world” scenario and has a satisying musical conclusion in the end as well. both of these songs have a special place in my heart bc of how carefully crafted it is. like you said, they are able to give you an emotion that only art could give.
I remember scrolling through Soraru's covers years ago and found the thumbnail interesting so I clicked and loved the song on first listen, it drove me to tears in how it's a comforting song; it's ok to not be perfect, it's all ok. I never even knew it was by PinocchioP seeing as it's so different from his other songs but I'll definitely give him a second try now that I know that!
I love your videos so much. It's refreshing to see someone taking Vocaloid seriously and treating it like the artwork it really is, instead of writing it off as "weird weeb music". Vocaloid music means a lot to me, so I appreciate the work and research you do to make these videos. I always learn so much from them about the producers, stories, and composition behind the songs. Thank you! I'm Glad You're Evil Too is one of my favorite songs of all time. I remember the first time I listened to it; when the final chorus kicked in, I burst into tears. Now, I have an even better understanding of what makes this song so beautiful and powerful.
I really love your video, I'm glad your evil too is one of my favorite vocaloid songs and I get a hole in my heart everytime I listen to it, I love how (at least in my interperetation) it portrays the comfort and love from a person who just "gets" you, how them just having the same feelings and understanding gives you a feeling that is indescribable
I held off from watching your videos since I thought you would just repeat information that just hadn’t been translated. Now that I’ve seen what your videos are about (and the great vocaloid track recommendations) I’ve had no choice but to sub. Keep it up!
Great video. I remember when the song first came out it was so different from what I was used to with his usual high energy music that I was into but this song is structured so well and is so powerful it leaves a heavy feeling in your chest. It is my favorite song from him and probably one of my favorite songs overall.
I think calling it "I'm glad you're evil too" gives a bit of a misrepresentation. Sure, it could be translated as such, but the term used (warui hito) also just literally means bad person, which can be interpreted a lot differently.
Personally, I see it as just... I'm glad you're also bad at being a normal person. A lot of the lyrics resonate from this sentiment too, as none of the things mentioned are evil, just unconventional or irresponsible. It resonates with our own struggle to adhere to society and our own failures at doing what is expected of us. It finds love and companionship in those imperfections, and gives us a bit of hope for ourselves as well.
That's my own reading of it, at least.
Did pinocchio p translates the title himself? Cause i remembered he kinda chilled and trying to learn english on a show or panel
It is the official translation though
I personally see the "Evil" as just non conforming to society. as you said, none of the things are evil, just unconventional or responsible which can be seen as "evil" to society.
@@osuWhite I mean, official translation doesn't mean it is 1:1 translation, so? For example, the "Nobody Makes Sense" in Japanese is a bit more specific (Bokura wa Minna Imi Fumei/None of Us Make Any Sense) while the translation more seems to carry a sense of separating the speaker character from the others, and What's Inside is technically literally "Do you have [internal] organs?" (Naizou arimasu ka) rather than What's Inside, so.
I do agree warui hito really doesn't convey same level of "evil" in the sense people tend to consider it in English so much as meaning a bad person/someone not so perfect in this case. Shoganai does have a point that you can argue it fits that way too, but yeah.
@Arona Hikari99 I"ll translate "waruihito" simply as "non Mr perfect type person, stay with me without leave me behind and go beyond my reach alone" his lyrics often use simple word but put so much meaning on to it, looks and sounds simple but you could find more deeper meanings if you listen multiple times, fun to listen every time.
I agree... this song is just really good compositionally, you like?? Don’t realise how long it is and the lyrics are so mass appeal... but still stays very pinoP
when glad evil was published, i still havent familiar with vocaloid yet (because of their voice), but i also wanted to dig into that rabbit hole, so i listened to voc song cover instead. I your cover of glad evil is what make me really fall in love with the original song (yours too)
Just want to say that. My english was kinda bad, but anw thank you, rachie.
I actually discorvered this song through your cover of it, Rachie!
I met you again!
Her there rachie
Do more pinochio p cover rachie plz
PinocchioP, so many of his songs it feels like it digs into our lives personal experiences and rips it out into the open to tell its story, then weave a story and in a way positive lesson. We wish we spoke his language simply so we could learn more about the world of his thoughts views so on.
His songs are very relatable, slowmotion for example. Time pass quickly and before you know it, wrinkle starts appearing.
awesome way to explain it, i feel the same
I meet PinocchioP years ago in a event. He is suprisingly wholesome and nice person. Nicest vocaloid producer I've ever met.
Lucky.
Surprisingly?
*You're one lucky wo/man.*
Nicest? You've met many?
@@AnonymouslyForgotten quiet a lot. More than 10 I guess
Lyrically, he's shifted a lot over the years. He felt really pessimistic in songs like Nice to Meet You Earthling and other things around that time. Meanwhile I love PinocchioP's later stuff, especially Ghosts Play to the Audience, Mei Mei, and of course this. This is maybe my favorite song of all time. It's a simple love song about enjoying other's company and simple pleasures (Mei Mei for what it's worth is also about simple pleasures, but in a way where its like "the world is so beautiful") It also has a perfect ending. But honestly the lyrics, just how realistic and hopeful and /in love/ they are, is just my favorite thing. This song makes me feel so cozy, I love it so much.
ikr ? i think this song is about two persons who ''gave up'', they live in the ignorance of the problems, and enjoy simple things, it's like a kind lie
@@pofficial3345 honestly I just plain old prefer the idea of this song not being anything dark. You can have whatever theories you want about it, but this song is too much of a comfort to be ever taken as anything fake or deceitful to me. I do get what you mean though, for sure
(it took me a minute to realize what you meant by the lie part, sorry if I came across harsh there)
I love PinocchioP.
He was the producer that got me into Vocaloid again. This song was definitely a big reason.
I think what I always really like about his songs is the way they seem to have a similar idea. In my own interpretation at least.
I love how he has a lot of happy sounding songs with cynical lyrics, or some kinda sad sounding songs with hopeful lyrics.
I also think I’m Glad You’re Evil Too is a pretty simple love song. Or, simple in its meaning I guess. It’s the way it describes the simple emotions and memories that makes it complex. In my opinion at least.
I love so many of his songs.
But I’m Glad You’re Evil Too is definitely my favourite of his.
Ur mom 🏳️🌈✨
'Don't kill the love song' was one of a few Pinocchio-P's songs that really stuck with me
That song is one of my favorites!!
When you first hear this song, it seems so deceptively simple with the lyrics and visuals but grips you strongly with the familiar feeling of sharing love with someone. Then you replay it over and over again and realize there's something you missed the first time with every replay. I also felt like this song was PinocchioP's way of being vulnerable and opening up about something precious, compared to the sense of apathy and sarcasm that most of his other works carried. Looking forward to watching your deep dive video on his other works!
Okay but other than "I'm glad you're evil too", pinocchioP has other underrated beautiful music like "The silence of the lamb" (Hitsujitachi no chinmoku), "I forgot why" (Wasurechatta doushite), and "Beautiful Fiction". Those are all my favorites if not out of all pinocchioP's music, out of all vocaloid music. If you like "I'm glad you're evil too" I'm sure you'll like those 3 songs too!
yeah!! some of my underrated favorites are ponkotsu tenshi, strange animal, black hole ville shopping street, and hero wont come
speaking of, why cant i find hero wont come anywhere on youtube? really weird
Fun fact: this song is what got me into Vocaloid. I first heard Rachie’s cover of it and was like “huh that’s cool” and checked out the original, which made me love Vocaloid.
✨🏳️🌈✨da gae is yes✨🏳️🌈✨
This is the kind of song that gives so many strong emotions the first time listening that I just wish I could forget the song completely so I can get that feeling of the first time again.
I rarely get this kind of feel when listening to a song. I think the only other long songs that gave me similar emotions the first time listening are Odds and Ends by ryo, Pure White Poison by Utsu-P and recently Doomsday by regulus and she by keeno.
I love this kind of song and wish there was more like this but at the same time I like that they are so rare because it makes them stand out more.
Regarding songs that give the same effect as this, I recommend "Hidamari no Uta" by yuyoyuppe. It's just my personal preference, but I hope you like it too!
A song that gives me that feeling too, was Meteor. It's my favorite vocaloid song, along with I'm glad you're evil too.
@@luanferreira9488 The last part of the chorus leaves me floating in a sea of emotions
Oh wow never thought that you would make a video about PinocchioP
Indeed, the longer the song, the more risk it holds to how to not bore its audience. I think that's the fun with those songs in general, for me, since they spice you more with something and made you feel something otherworldly~
This song has held a special part of my heart ever since I first heard it. I've tried to explain why it's so good before but haven't been able to. It's always such a treat to hear someone put into words something that you haven't been able to. Zero and Yozurina I've seen considered close to this in the "slow-sad" genre, but this song always sticks out more. I think something good to bring up would also be that miku's range in this song is a lot more human, less high-range and more mid-range, I feel like it adds to people's connection with the song, like somebody's just next to them talking.
I'm glad you're talking about PinocchioP! His recent song with Miku was so sad yet comforting
Love PinocchioP to death, and this song is easily my fav song of all time, i cry everytime hshsh,, great video! Your analysis is very interesting, explained a lot why this song is so good haha
agreed
edit: i wish you had a video like this, about siinamota, it'd be amazing
this song has really stuck with me, it’s always made me cry just from the lyrics and the hard hitting sound when the climax hits. it’s always struck such a chord in me and you pointed out things i didn’t even think i was being affected by, but it makes sense! it makes me think of METEOR by john, the full song is around 8 minutes and starts slow, but the way it changes and moves out of the common order and keeps us listening is what makes that initial hit so powerful. the lyrics make me cry too 😭😭😭
That's a great comparison and also a good song too
FINALLY SOMEONE HAS MADE A VIDEO ABOUT THIS. IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS THAT THIS SONG IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
For me the song speaks about sharing the same kind of pain with somebody, i just fell in love with the song's message of how this life can be really painful but together with somebody similar to you the world can become a little brighter everyday♡
the music is 6 and a half minutes long but I always find myself wanting one more chorus
I've already covered "I'm Glad You're Evil Too" sometime. For me it meant something about someone we hold very dearly too us. I really love this song. I'm glad you made a video talking about this one.
Also Lag Train in the bg ❤️❤️
This song literally gave me chills the first time I heard it... It's incredible.
Another one of my favorites from PinocchioP more recently has been Zero, as it literally changed my view on life as a whole.
My favourite producer!
His growth as a music producer is certainly noticeable,P+ really made me nostalgic lol...But what stayed throughout all these years is that "closeness" you feel when you listen to his music.Even though you didn't write the song yourself you really understand what he's trying to say and the experiences he's trying to convey.Honestly I can name at least 3 instances in my life where I found a Pino song that explained my current life situation/feelings dead on.
Fast tempos and general chaotic vibes just make everything better,but also make songs like I'm glad you're evil too and Last Continue stand out.Hearing Pino sing in the background and more in some songs is always a treat too.
I always feel confused the first time I listen to a PinocchioP song, almost hating it, then without realizing it I already listened to the song 3 times and am enjoying it. It's always like this with his songs. But "I'm glad you're evil too" was a love at first sight. He made most of my favorite songs, he is incredible (+ his drawings are so good !). A Vocaloid god.
True XD
Most of PinocchioP's songs is like an acquired taste. At first I don't really like it, without realizing that it's already my 5th replay. But this one I instantly fell in love with. This song can be described in many words, but "beautiful" is one word I'm sure we both agree to.
This is exactly how I listen to half of his songs fmfbdj
I starts out hearing it like “Ah this isn’t that good” then 6 months later I have a craving to hear it again and now I’m suddenly addicted
Holy shit I got a sudden urge to listen to "Love for Love by Love of Love" while reading this thread
Pretty much 404
"What's inside" is my favourite. Im glad this channel exist so i can learn and talk more about my favourite producers. Also i wasnt excepting a referance from radiohead... that was very good.
True~
There's a catchy beat, a deceptively positive atmosphere, fascinating lyrics, a pair of black-themed mikus holding someone's intestines like it's nothing.
Very cool.
Long songs are very tricky to pull off, but if you do it its incredible! Thats why meteor is my favourite vocaloid song, with 8 minutes so much is done
I love that you compared I'm glad you're evil too with how to disappear completely, bc both are songs very dear to me, they make me feel lots of things and are two of my favorite songs of all time.
As soon as I heard this song earlier this year, it instantly became one of my top favorite Vocaloid songs. The way that I interpret the title is "I'm glad you're imperfect too." Like you said, I see it as a pretty straight forward love song. Just from the first few lines, it comes from the perspective of someone who has been hurt before, whether from a past relationship or from life in general. But finally, they've found someone just as beaten down and even cynical as they are. While the rest of the world tries to look as good as possible, these two are content with how perfectly imperfect they are together.
It's such a beautiful song, and I wholeheartedly agree with calling it a masterpiece. It's an emotional, audible, and visual experience. It's easy to connect with what's being described, and I think that's part of what helps draw you in at the beginning. It's not a cutesy love song; it's a bit muddled, and a lot of us have been there. But when that first tonal shift happens after the first chorus by adding synth, it kind of makes you wonder where this is going. And it keeps ramping up along with the visuals to deliver this loud, emotional gut punch of an anthem at the end. PinocchioP knew how to pull it off, and that's why this six and a half minute song just works so well.
Thank you for making a video just for this song. I'm looking forward to the next video!
This was well written thanks for sharing
I just listened to it for the first time and I just
:0
:) It has been added to my Vocaloid Jams playlist on Spotify
I don't know if this is correct, but one of the things I really like about this song is that the final string of chords doesn't seem to resolve, but it's not unsatisfying, either.
No I get what you mean
this song was the first one I truly connected to. it’s so great and I can relate to it so much that I cried while listening. especially the part where it mentions our inevitable end, but to not be afraid as long as you are having a good time in your life.
Oh my god, yes! This is my absolute favorite song and I totally agree with everything. I think a big part of what makes this song so amazing is how relatable it is. Not even specifically the love part, since many of us have never had a romantic relationship like that, and the relationship could be possibly seen as platonic anyway. I think it’s the concept of having someone you can let your guard down around and just be 100% yourself, a concept that is pretty much universal. Whether it’s a romantic partner, a family member, or a really close friend, most people have this person whom they’re just super close to who won’t judge them and will often have similar insecurities and imperfections (aka the evil - “im glad you have the same insecurities/imperfections, along with all the other stuff people say that the evil represents). If you listen to Rachie’s cover, you can hear the little bits of casual dialogue she adds in, which make this song even more sincere and further demonstrate my point.
I think this relatableness extends to almost all of PinnochioP’s songs. I know I definitely felt this relatableness in his newest song, Because You’re Here, along with Motivation is Dead and Thanks for being Lifeless (which, in a way, has a similar idea to this one). This relatableness imo is the biggest reason why he is such a popular producer, not to mention his amazing melodies, aesthetic MVs, and sincere-sounding tuning style (seriously, everything he tunes has so much feeling).
Also, the song is just really really sweet and makes you feel loved, as if you’re the character singing it. This song makes me (and probably everyone else who has listened to it and loved it) extremely happy. The melody and structure of the song is totally enchanting imo. It’s so satisfying to hear this song just because of how it sounds. I could probably write a lot more about why this song is so appealing XD
Anyway, thanks for analyzing this song and kind of giving me confirmation that I didn’t love some song that everyone hates lol. I love your content and I look forward to your future videos!
5:17 That transition
I love this song but it holds so many sad memories. Being used to singing to someone that you love so much but that bitter sweet song turns into a dagger in the heart, a spinning pain that is unforgettable when you sing it by yourself, hating the love that you once held. It hurts so much cause both the good memories and bad ones spin together. Memories of apologizes, the pain of the screams, the warmth of the nigh forgotten embrace, and the sweet whispers now turned more sour and bitter. I cry whenever I hear it, overwhelmed by emotions that I had once forgot I was capable of feeling.
I first listened to this song when it came out, I had my first boyfriend at the time and I really connected with the song, I shared it with him too. Not too much time later he broke up with me and now every time I listen to this song I get a little sad since it reminds me of how I shared this song with him right before he broke up with me. Also last year I felt like the lyrics connected to my most recent relationship even more. I love this song, but it's hard to enjoy it when the whole thing leaves me sad.
I really want to thank PinocchioP because two of his songs inspired me and motivated me when I was not at my best. I'm not good with words but let me say that I was 'lone kid' of the classroom, it didn't bother me too much but sometimes I couldn't help but think on... let's just say "not good things", I didn't feel belonging to anywhere but his songs sort of cheered me up.
When I first listened to 'All I need are things I like', the first part was basically how I felt during that period so I related myself a lot to the song but then when I reached the end I suddenly felt like I understood something and how much of a selfish prick I was.
Then there was 'I'm glad that you are evil too' that made me feel like I was not alone anymore.
I seriously suck at wording my feelings so just imagine the Vocaloid community as a type of flower and the genre and author are its colour. Some times the flower may be born far away from other flowers of the same type but just knowing that I'm not alone and "unique" makes me feel happy.
And I want to thank this channel too, thank you very much for giving the Vocaloid fans someplace to reunite in this site.
Rotten Chocolate and Heresy, as well as Common World Domination and Ghosts Play To the Audience are my favorite works by him, but I know I can't possibly comprehend them to the extent of understanding all of what they're saying. Analytical videos help me feel like I'm stepping ever-so-slightly closer.
...and now I want to go listen to I'm Glad You're Evil Too again.
5:33 That long-ass comment is mine, and it surprised me to see it on your video (as has too, the attention it received for some time). So now I'll leave a very long comment here.
I've been working on some scripts for a channel I'm building about Vocaloid and possibly anime (I know both don't have to go together but growing up, I consumed them as crazy and are very important pillars in my life), and it's all been inspired by you by the way! (Not that you'll read my comment, but that is heartwarming to me and I wanted to share it), but I'm really slow at writing and editing. I hit a brick wall so I decided to goof around in YT, I purged some suscriptions and got to your channel, saw this video I haven't had a chance to watch about one of my favorite Vocaloid songs and instantly started watching. I was also thinking about the people that had resonated with that comment. I think for many of us was a very straight forward love song, I was surprised when I read through comments and learned there was people that thought differently, and that's why I decided to just leave how I felt through my life experience written. We have stigmatized for the most part what love songs are, what they may simbolize and how are we supposed to reject them or weird stuff like that. I have internalized that too, and feel awkward if I like someone and I find it hard to be cute or lovey dovey when I get to spend time with a romantic partner. For a song to evoke on me the deepest feelings of love that I hold for a non-existent person was to say the least, unexpected. The lyrics are beautiful, contrasting an internal turnmoil between what may be perceived as good or bad, the acknowledgement of it and the pure desire of being accompanied in life, that to say it in a few words and wrap it up. The music and composition is nice and soothing, rough and tense, it goes through many things its absolutely astonishing and visuals allow to concentrate on each element of the song.
Going in some sort of full circle with this has been amazing, thank you for the video (tbh haven't finished watching haha I paused because I got to excited), for your channel and, well pretty much for everything.
OK SO, edit because the next seconds of the video go to a place where I didn't think it would. Damn with the reference and analogy to How to Dissapear Completely, I always forget to speak about the importance of musicality in the songs that I like and love, thank you for that analysis and deconstruction.
I feel like I got an entirely different vibe from this song my first time listening to it, ngl. the title literally having "evil" in it, along with the dark visuals in the thumbnail made it assume it'd be a creepy song, and to me it kinda was, just not in the way I expected. as the song kept building I was on edge the entire time (it was probably like 3 AM and I'm a wimp when it comes to spooky things, so) waiting for the Wholesome Love Song pretense to finally drop and for the lyrics to take a dark turn... and then they never did. the entire thing was just a sweet love song aside from the eerie video, and the line about the whole being "evil" thing. and I actually found that even creepier than if it *had* taken a dark shift lyrically towards the end. it left me unsure of how to feel and interpret it, and uncertainty is always scarier than anything. needless to say, I did fall in love with it though, and I agree with everything you said here. I just always found it odd when I'd see comments about how it's such a touching and emotional song, when that wasn't my impression of it at all. not saying they're wrong of course, if anything I'm probably the one reading too much into things, but I always found that idea of a "creepy song" with completely innocent lyrics to be one the coolest things about I'm Glad You're Evil Too. but even if it truly is just a simple, heartfelt song about love, it's still 100% a masterpiece.
ive been trying to find a song that hits the same for ages and its just not possible
PinocchioP is honestly one of my favorite artists, to choose one song of his as my favorite would be impossible. But I’m Glad Your Evil Too has been one of my favorites since its release. The way I always saw it is as a simple love song between two people that weren’t considered ‘normal’, who broke what people considered to be standard rules for the sake of living their lives better. It was such a beautiful piece that it sometimes brings me to tears if I’m emotional enough listening to it.
Also I saw Lagtrain and nearly flipped my shit cause Inaba Kumori is such a good artist who deserves more attention
This song is difficult to describe for me, so props to you for tackling it. This song has a personal meaning to me and I'm glad people are still talking about it :)
I'm glad that you're evil too is still one of my comfort songs today, the lyrics and melody are just so amazing and melancholy. Everytime I listen it, I tear up. There's just something magical about it, making you smile while you cry. I'm just so incredibly thankful for Pinnochiop
i just wanna say that you're feeding into my lagtrain addiction by playing the song in the background that's all, take my like while I go replay the song a billion more times.
also i wanna say thank you for your musical analysis on vocaloid, it’s always a joy to watch and the observation are detailed enough to give new musical insight
Well thanks for watching Marcie I'll keep doing my best
One of my favorite PinochioP song with thank you for being lifeless
That was a cool review I'd love to see you talk about orangestar
i really REALLY love your channel. it made me remember what i love vocaloids for which is mainly for it being a kind of "self - made music" genre that just happened to blow up because of miku becoming a popular character. i always loved how different producers kept finding different ways to write their songs / their structures / the instruments they used etc while still being in the same "vocaloid genre". thank you so much for this video and i cant wait to see another video on PinocchioP, he's my absolute favourite.
OMG YES I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT SO! Pinocchio-P has such a unique, almost happy go lucky sound, but the parallels between the melodic structure and lyrics and animation are so well thought out and I just LOVE the crispness of the bass and the audio in general! AND! This song has an amazing build up that feels like someone is slowly but surely opening their heart to someone else, which feels so bittersweet and so lyrical! And that PAUSE JUST BEFORE THE LAST CHORUS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CANNOT! AND although the chords are so simple, deceptively so, they are so effective especially since they are kind of obstructed by all the textural stuff going on, and they ebb and flow along with the meaning of the lyrics...
I really can't describe how much I love this song and I'm so glad you're covering it in this video :')
ok wow, this video took a very unexpected turn in the middle with the record and song length part lmao, that was a bit jarring, but informative!
Good vid, i really Like Pinocchiop mainly for his lyrics so metaphorical and to give a variety of ways of interpretation.
Keep up the good Work and thanks
I'm glad you made a video about this song! It's my favorite PinocchioP track and one of my favorite vocaloid tracks in general.
i'm so happy i finally came across someone loving this song as much as i do! i'm glad you're evil too is one of my favourite songs and i never, never get tired of listening to it. it's just so so special. thank you for talking about it and analyzing it so well! ^ _ ^
I love PinocchioP's songs so much, my playlist that contain my favorite songs from him has thousands of plays from me alone. The 1st song I heard from him was "Slow Motion" but once I got a taste of "I'm glad you're evil too" I really became his fan, I also love Will Stetsons' english cover of this song, be sure to give the man a try. Sorry for typing such a long and pointless comment but I just wanted to get my feelings out there, thanks for reading.
Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to see you to cover a topic about Pinocchio-p, but I didn't expect that you had the same starting point as I did. "I'm glad you're evil too" was so good when I first heard it, I started to crave more for his song. and he kept releasing one masterpiece after another since then.
I always thought this song was about a gay couple in a society where being gay isn’t accepted, but even though everyone else hates them, they always have each other.
Lovely Video! Recently got into Pinocchio-p as well, so it was nice to see this.
The point you made about popular Vocaloid songs lasting around 3-4 minutes really made me realize how true this was. Even in the music industry, there aren't many long or multi-structured songs that became huge with the general audience. The iconic long songs I can mainly think of are Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (~6 mins), Hey Jude by The Beatles (~7 mins) and Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day (~9 mins). But even then these songs are mainly rock influenced. I'd like to think I'm Glad You're Evil Too is kinda like these songs of the Vocaloid community, even I was so impressed and engaged by it on first listen! Really makes you think if any other Vocaloid producer can pull off a longer song.
I love Pinocchio P, especially his newer songs like Aisarenakutemo Kimi ga iru and the world hasn't started yet, but this song really touches me to the point that I may have cried multiple times just listening to this song, thank you Ubnub
Pinocchio p is one of my favorites, I remember got into him by the song "Last Continue" and every song he releases is glad to hear.
ooooh i was really hoping you would do a video on pinocchioP eventually as he's one of my favourite producers! curiously, evil was the one of his big songs that never really hit me but i think i gotta give it a proper second chance after this!
1. It's an unusual song for the genre of music he typically outputs. Despite that, it's very well made.
2. Excellent video as always... just realized your editing style sort of reminds me of the What I've Learned channel.
3. The last chorus sounds like a glorious, glorious wedding march to me.
(3) to me is more like an emotional end-of-the-universe scenario, like the breakdown of existence and me dissipating with a smile to my face.
Please don't judge. I'm eating pancakes right now.
I’ve been watching PinocchioP for so long, that I forgot that one verse into chorus was the standard convention.
Pinnochiop is my favorite vocaloid producer, and you're my favourite Vocaloid Discussion Channel!!! Seeing them combined is like,,,, instant dopamine for my slug brain!!!!
I sincerely thank you for making this video, you described my exact emotions that i got when i first watched "I'm glad you're evil too".
f*ck i edited a typo and the heart just went away, oh well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i was just saying to my friends yesterday how you hadn't uploaded in a bit and i missed your content and bam! there you are! i had never listened to pinocchiop's music before and this just convinced me to set time aside today to listen to his stuff
I'm glad! Sorry this stuff takes some time for me
@@ubnubmaster no worries! i prefer quality over quantity and you never disappoint :)
Finally a video about my favorite vocaloid song ever. It is amazing. Thank you for an amazing video!
FINALLY SOMEBODY TALKS ABOUT PINOCCHIO-P
AND MY FAV SONG FROM HIM AS WELL AAAAAAAA
my ex is a big music nerd who loves long songs. she listens to stuff like ayreon and devin townsend, and I remember she use to talk abut how she liked song that evolved over it's runtime. and you can hear this in her own music. she'd take a something kinda repetitive but then add a new element to it for every verse (or w/e, alot of her own music doesn't have lyrics) making it more powerful as the you keep listening.
I'm Glad You're Evil Too is my favorite vocaloid song, and brings me to tears every karaoke trip... Seeing a video just about it was an immediate click.
I love PinocchioP, I've been waiting for you to talk about him
This is one of the songs I think of when someone talks about music is art (like, of course music is art, but when they talk about art at a higher level). It's just so good. I love it. 💖🌟✨
Kinda late for the party, but whelp, lemme put my two cents in this.
At least for me, this song gives the same vibes as Odds and Ends. I just cried uncontrollably after listening for the first time, second time and so on. It's a song that even it's not your first time, and you expect what's gonna happen, your preparation won't be enough when it actually happens.
At least for me, PinocchioP really set a high standard in many ways even before this song came out (Slow Motion, Common World Domination, etc.) But this song just made you feel that "Damn, how can something this beautiful be real" while still makes it PinocchioP.
The introduction makes you feel related to the Miku, the middle part is more like an "intermission", gives you the idea of "evil" in this song that it actually means someone who is content with their happy life with his/her SO while rejecting "the greater good" that draws by the society, makes you dive deep and imagine along with the lyrics while preparing you for the finale.
The part that everything went silent, the pause is so perfect. And after the Miku simply inhales, starts the finale with the long "Yuu" giving a preparation of the finale, then sings along with the intense instruments going on, that is simply beautiful. Everything has been put into its place correctly. After the music ends, you realize the happiness this song gives you. Pretty similar to Odds and Ends in a sense that it helps me cope with negative thoughts, even if it's only for a while.
PinocchioP's voice tuning is also what make this a masterpiece. In every section, the voice's mood is different, and that makes us even more related to the song.
This is just too good. PinocchioP just did it again.
Ps. For the similar song composition (it's not Vocaloid, but I feel that it gives the similar vibes), I would recommend Sea of voices by Porter Robinson (ruclips.net/video/lSooYPG-5Rg/видео.html)
Pss. and yes, after "Because you are here" PinocchioP just did it again.
God, I'm so glad you decided to cover this. This is one of my favorite PinocchioP songs! Gives me goosebumps every time.
Gosh I love this song. I only discovered Pinocchio-P recently and I fell in love with this producer... Man these songs,,,...
I'm Glad You're Evil Too almost makes me cry everytime... I love their other songs as well, a lot, they are full of weird energy and pretty deep messages, and some are just, well, fun!!
I knew the songs having to be 3 minutes was because of the radio + peoples attention spans, that's also why Queen was praised for taking the risk of making Bohemian Rapsody, which was way longer than people liked at the time.
I actually love long songs as well,, it has more time to captivate me and it's nice cuz... it's more of the beauty I love so much.... Thank you for making this video of appreciaion for the song I keep listening to over and over again
The moment when you actually started putting in the song around 10 minutes, I had so many waves of goosebumps. This is one of my favorite vocaloid songs of all time, and my favourite amongst all the other amazing pinocchioP songs. Truly, when I hear this song, I immediately get goosebumps.
Hey, this was very informative, but I wanted to specially thank you for fixing the audio issue I had mentioned in another video. Although I'm not sure if it was because of my comment, the background songs were in good balance with the voice here. That's an improvement I appreciate eitherway. Thanks.
Yeah of course I'm relieved to hear you say that. I try my best to listen to feedback
You know what else is a masterpiece? This video. Also just a suggestion, you should make videos with more random topics like top 10 must listen vocaloid songs this month or top 5 most underrated vocaloid producer. I notice there's quite a few songs in the background that I don't recognize and I think we would love to explore and discover new songs while discussing it with you
Wow thanks Waifu man! You know I might consider it, it be kind of fun to be like a music critic for vocaloid
While i'm sure the technical aspects about the music you mentioned might have helped with my enjoyment of the song, it's the lyrics that really resonated with me. I listened to this during a low point in my life and a song about two people, believing themselves to be fucked up human beings, finding solace in each other and finding joy in all the little things feels so... warm and comforting.
i just got into vocaloid this year and i really appreciate this channel so much
I've only listened to his more popular songs. But i think all try listening to the rest. Thanks for the video really liked it. Keep up the great work
7:37 I knew I like songs that build up and change over time but I didn't know it had a name to it.
i never really cared about him either, didnt love slow motion and the other songs of the same category, but i loved common world domination, and SPECIALLY i'm glad you're evil too, today i'm discovering new awesome songs like onion+ and his newest because you're here. onion+ has great lyrics like i'm glad you're evil too, i'm glad you're evil too has this melancholic tone that is cheerful too and has a hope, and you don't know if it's a good hope but as long as there is one, it's alright, we will be alright
Edit: whatever yama says goes is awesome too
i like how you are adding previews to the next topic to be covered. gives me something to look forward to.
I don't know why, but yeah _I'm glad you're evil too_ is very beautiful. It just hits my heart and I just want to cry every time I listen to it. Bravo, PinocchioP.
Nice. This puts a lot of my thoughts in a structured format.
i literally felt chills at the beginning when the instrumental started playing. no matter how many times i've listened to this song and no matter how long it's been since the last time i've heard it, it just always gets to me
i love this song so much
i just wanna take the time to point out that this video is also a masterpiece
you wrote it very well and it was really easy to listen to, coming from someone who has a hard time paying attention to things !
This song became one of my all-time favorites as soon as I heard it. The tension and release... the atmosphere created from its composition... and the way our emotions seem to connect with what the song has to offer.
I can't believe you just reviewed this masterpiece. I just woke up, but you already made my day.
Thanks ubnub 😍
I appreciate you taking your time to examine this song...From what I understand, your argument is that, because of how drastically different this song is in terms of song structure, song length, and theme along with how this song takes a huge risk, this song is a masterpiece.
I'm going to tell you right now: with all due respect, but...we honestly need to take a completely different approach as to how understand this song. By examining what can be perceived on the surface, we completely miss the point of what this song is. We need to understand what this song wants us to imagine.
This song just helps you imagine that, despite you and your romantic interest being so human with your ups and down, you appreciate each other in the end for who you and your significant other are. It's the passion of the relationship that drives you to push through the pain of a romantic relationship and the pain of being a human. The thing about this song is that it doesn't quite make sense on it's own. Sure, at the surface, it's a nice little walk in the park with Miku. But if we just leave at that, it just feels so incomplete. Surely, there's more to this song? right? To truly understand this song, however, we have to dive deeper. We have to take a step back and take a look at things at a grander picture. Examining this song alone may not really make much sense. It almost becomes too pointless to just zero in on a song like this for too long. For this song to truly make sense, we would need to take the time and listen to the entirety of HUMAN. What we need to realize is that this song is actually a part of a concept album. not only do we need to understand that, but we also need to realize what this concept is. Only by understanding these two things will we see the true beauty of this song.
IMO, The ENTIRE album of HUMAN is a masterpiece. I would even go as far as to saying that it is the TPAB of Vocaloid. It is the existential and apathetic journey of trying to answer the timeless question: what is a human? 人間ってなんだ？Every song on the album tries to explain the different aspects of what makes up a human, and this song in particular is a part of that concept. In short, this song is simply a piece of a big picture.
So...
I also would like to add something to what I've said.
What you've said and explained in the video isn't entirely in vain. But rather... It only proves that ピノキオピー was willing to compromise accessibility for being able to accomplish what he wanted to do. He had an artistic intent, and he compromised accessibility for what he wanted to do. If that makes sense.
Bejoba comments like yours are the reason why I try to read every comment on my videos. Can't believe this doesn't have any likes yet, should be top comment in my book. First of all, there's definitively no one right way to examine art. My analysis of what makes this a masterpiece and what you see makes this a masterpiece can both be right or can both wrong. It's merely just the opinions of critics.
I wanna say I fully agree with your statements about seeing this as one piece of a larger picture. You make such a great point about comparing this song to the rest of the album that it came off of. Man that never even came to my mind admittedly, I also liked the way you compared TPAB to human as well. But i'm not sure if I entirely agree that this song NEEDS to be compared to Human. I mean look at "the blacker the berry" for example, sure it has a place within TPAB. I mean it falls right after complexion, a song that talks about ignoring racial complexions in order to bring unity. So when that song comes on afterwards the sting of the message only hurts even more. But to be honest, when you look at people talk about that song do they even mention TPAB? From what I've read, not really, instead they typically praise the song for it's statements about police brutality and racism. The way the last verse of the line completely flips the message. Or the powerful instrumental and passion in his delivery. What I'm trying to say is you don't necessarily need to examine the album the song came off of in order to understand what it's about or Pinocchiop probably wouldn't have even released this as a single.
@@ubnubmaster Ubnub my good sir it is good to hear from you again. Hope you've been doing well. It's just exciting for me to be able to discuss about Vocaloid music on a serious level.
Also, I'm sorry if i sounded a bit rude on interpretation. Because of how our words and thoughts are filtered by our perspectives, it's impossible to be able to have a completely accurate way of interpreting art. it's meant to be intangible in a way so we can develop our own perspective on things.
It doesn't help being an aspie.
To add onto your argument with The Blacker The Berry, I believe that songs like that and 君も悪い人で良かった play an interesting role. They may provide contrast to the other songs before it and help us see the other side of the coin (or so to speak) to a presented perspective.
Love PinocchioP! I have bought a couple of his albums. A song a recently listened of his that is really great is called Sayonara Human but that song isn't Miku singing it but giving background vocals.
This song holds a very special place in my heart so much so that when me and my gf get married, this will be played at the wedding because it holds such a special place in our relationship, it perfectly describes how we fell in love and it makes me cry (yes me a biker dude with an affinity for gore and horror movies cries to vocaloid). I love this song so much it’s one of the best songs that grips me in the feels like lost one’s weeping
First time I heard 悪い人でよかった I came to your channel and looked for it or some PinocchioP video because he's so good and so I thought that I was sure you had a video about it. Now you have it xD
Hey man, it's great to see your channel is growing!! Your videos are just getting better and better, you deserve it!!!!
Thanks Liriz I appreciate it!
i recommend listenting to hachi’s (kenshi yonezu) really old vocaloid song called qualia. it’s a 6 minute music that had similar emotional/composotion progression like “i’m glad you’re evil too”. it also talks about this soulmate bonding experience in an “us against the world” scenario and has a satisying musical conclusion in the end as well. both of these songs have a special place in my heart bc of how carefully crafted it is. like you said, they are able to give you an emotion that only art could give.
Wow it's been years since I've seen anyone talk about qualia, what a great parallel though. Thanks for sharing
underappreciated channel, your videos make me cry
I remember scrolling through Soraru's covers years ago and found the thumbnail interesting so I clicked and loved the song on first listen, it drove me to tears in how it's a comforting song; it's ok to not be perfect, it's all ok. I never even knew it was by PinocchioP seeing as it's so different from his other songs but I'll definitely give him a second try now that I know that!
I love your videos so much. It's refreshing to see someone taking Vocaloid seriously and treating it like the artwork it really is, instead of writing it off as "weird weeb music". Vocaloid music means a lot to me, so I appreciate the work and research you do to make these videos. I always learn so much from them about the producers, stories, and composition behind the songs. Thank you!
I'm Glad You're Evil Too is one of my favorite songs of all time. I remember the first time I listened to it; when the final chorus kicked in, I burst into tears. Now, I have an even better understanding of what makes this song so beautiful and powerful.
the first time I heard I’m Glad Your Evil Too I was in the brink of sobbing and I hadn’t even read the lyric translation yet. it’s just so beautiful.
I really love your video, I'm glad your evil too is one of my favorite vocaloid songs and I get a hole in my heart everytime I listen to it, I love how (at least in my interperetation) it portrays the comfort and love from a person who just "gets" you, how them just having the same feelings and understanding gives you a feeling that is indescribable
I held off from watching your videos since I thought you would just repeat information that just hadn’t been translated. Now that I’ve seen what your videos are about (and the great vocaloid track recommendations) I’ve had no choice but to sub.
Keep it up!
Great video. I remember when the song first came out it was so different from what I was used to with his usual high energy music that I was into but this song is structured so well and is so powerful it leaves a heavy feeling in your chest. It is my favorite song from him and probably one of my favorite songs overall.
