I love the detail of Rin's hands and feet gradually getting bloody as the song progresses, her adamantly continuing to dance so she doesn't get chosen by the spirit and dies
I think rin fell asleep but then snapped herself awake before the spirit got to her. And then the rest of the song she is groggily dancing and singing just barely staving off the inevitable until she finally stalls back asleep
I wonder how long she's been doing this, her hands and feet turn red quicker compared to the rest of the dancers and it's implied shes seen a lot of them die before her.
I am obsessed with the line "Don't save me!" Was she talking to the spirit, saying to not artificially save her from her life and pain into death? Was she begging her dead friends not to do anything so the spirit wouldn't hurt them? Did she fall half asleep on purpose to fight the spirit on its home turf?????? I HAVE SO MANY THEORIES AND SO LITTLE BRAINCELLS
I interpretted it as a way of placating the spirit itself. They're doing this festival to "celebrate" the spirit, so perhaps whatever the spirit is doing is "saving" them in its eyes. She doesn't want to die, but also doesn't want to offend the spirit, so just tries to say she doesn't need saving.
I can’t help but think that that line is more about her beginning to wonder if continuing to dance even though she’s in agony is a better fate than being taken by the spirit and, if not, then the spirit coming to kill her would be “saving” her in a sense. There’s really so many things that you can theorize about for this song and your idea of her purposefully falling half asleep is so interesting to think about.
They're so many meaning of that part. I thought the not to save her was about giving her that thought of getting save. It would bring her peace, so much of It she would've fell asleep right before she could be save. So it pointless to be saved.
i don't know if anyone has talked about this yet, but one of my favorite things about this song/mv is that when everyone is clapping the sound of it can be heard until the part of the song where it's just rin (because now there's not enough people to have the claps be loud enough to be heard). i also like to think that the spirit is actively participating in the ritual song (besides just being an outsider in the song to take everyone away). throughout the song, the drums are being hit in order to continue the ritual and song. however, the drums still being hit even after everyone (besides rin) is gone. obviously, rin cannot be the one who's hitting the drums because she's too occupied with singing and dancing. meiko and kaito can also be eliminated because even though they can be seen in charge of the drums/music for the ritual's song, they also get taken away by the spirit and are gone by the time rin's solo is shown. with the entire town eliminated, the only person/thing you can suspect to be in charge of the (ritual) song's instrumental is the spirit; who needs the ritual to continue until rin falls asleep in order to be able to take her away like the rest of the town. i also think this ties with the end of the (literal) song's ending as well as the fact that the mv shows nothing but a black screen as the song begins to end. i believe this is because rin dies at the end due to falling asleep (as she says right before the song's ending that her eyes are becoming heavy). obviously, the (literal) song needs to end, but that also means that the ritual's song needs to as well. i think that rin is taken away/asleep by the music and drums stop because she says in the song to keep playing the music until she falls asleep-which they do. obviously, they had to stop for the sake of the (literal) song, but it's also because of rin that they stopped. all in all, i absolutely love this song so much. it reminds me of "higurashi: when they cry" in a good way because i loved the plot of some kind of spirit making random citizens disappear without the media of it being all screaming and horror. this song isn't right-in-your-face "be scared!!"; instead it makes you understand that it's horror without jumpscares or loud sounds, which is very impressive and absolutely spectacular. and, as many people have said in the comments, this reminds me of horror vocaloid songs as well. personally, i haven't listened to many (old) horror vocaloid songs, but i've seen some old songs in general. it really does give off the same vibe and i find that to be very nostalgic and cool. great job, Vega-P!
about the drums as well, you can also hear rin's heartbeat during 2:40 until the song is over. that sound stops before the drums, which is like rin falling asleep before the spirit stops playing the music-since there's no need for it anymore-and takes her away.
This is an interesting horror idea seeing everyone you know disappear to a spirit and being the last one left sounds torturous Rin continuing to dance so she doesn't get chosen but slowly bleeding from the excessive dancing on her body is so sad. I love the song and the animation brings out such an eerie feeling. Also love the fact at the end you can see the people who disappeared in the background , makes me think that Rin kind of went insane. Amazing work overall.
I love this song so much, but let me tell you the story telling combining with the visual is amazing. How cruel that they dance a song meant to make you pass out at a festival where you die if you fall asleep. Every part of the dance is fast which speeds up the heart significantly. Then you stop and hold a pose. Stopping completely when your heart rate is through the roof is almost a guaranteed way to pass out. The dance was literally engineered to make the dancer waste energy quickly then bring them to a dead stop in hopes of a dead drop. So cruel, im in love
Love how Rin starts singing just slightly off-key and off-rythmn towards the end, she's panicking, she lost the flow of the others and she's getting tired, so she makes some mistakes. Lovely detail!
my personal theory is that people do disappear every year, but only the dancers do. i feel like theyre trained to do the dance and sing the song so the spirit knows to choose them and not, say, the people hosting the festival. i think that’s why they look so reluctant at the beginning, because they know one way or another they’re going to be taken. they only smile during the dance to entertain the rest of the festivalgoers and pretend they enjoy what theyre doing i think because rin was a dancer, her fate was sealed, but she kept dancing long after the festival ended (hence her cries of ‘please keep playing the music!’) to try and stall for time
I'd like to think that she fought her sleep to destroy the spirit, and was successful- bringing everyone back. But it could be wishful thinking on my part..
@@thefrenchiestfry360 I like to think that they might not know what’s going on but keep dancing from fear or pressure from tradition, or that the festival happens every year, but this is the first year that the spirit has come to take them.
One small thing I noticed is that when the vocaloids fall asleep the voice slowly forms into theirs. Len’s is more noticeable but if you listen it’s the same with Teto. I love this little easter egg

"Don't choose me! Don't save me!" and the silhouettes in the background, plus the way Rin is consistently shown with red tinting her hands from the start make me wonder if Rin actually condemned herself, in the end... either to being the actual sacrifice, or to a worse fate than the others. Very compelling.
i love how, even though they're smiling and dancing, you can see the discomfort and terror in their eyes. from the story, to the music, to the art, this is incredible!!

WOW. INSANE. no wonder you mentioned getting burnt out in one of your community posts!!! this is utterly fantastic, the animation, the song, the disappearing! i love that the other people are other vocaloids lmao. fantastic work yet again!!!
I like how the outlines constantly stopped and continued following the colored in part near the end ,, it actually shows really well how Rin is losing herself doing the dance for too long but she’s trying to hold on to not disappear like the others!! Also the drums after the music stopped when someone dies is actually so eerie it creeps me out gosh 😭😭
bro lens spirit in the background after his desth shocked me when i noticed it- beacuse the first few times i watched this i was focused on the lyrics and animation instead of the background. I have to say, the animation and song give me goosebumps. Its so dhsidkdj in a good way. Youre crazy cool
I really like how in the start, the chorus is sung by everyone, and everytime someone dissapears they stop singing. So when only Rin is left, only she sings
I have to say, this feels like it would come from the depths of Niconico, and i mean that in the best way possible. This is amazing! Really evokes that old Vocaloid feeling in a refreshing way
Fun theory the ones who were "chosen" weren't actually chosen, they just left to ho sleep. Rin was the one chosen that's why she thought they'd died because the ghost tricked her into dancing until she died from it ala the death by hot iron shoes being used to dance the original snow white story put thee il queen through but without the hot iron just overexertion far beyond the natural limits of a human as the only way we would start bleeding from hitting our own hands or our socked feet at a festival ground we would normally pass out from exhaustion first. Especially because of the subtle "don't save me." Line...
Correction it might be a twelve dancing princesses- like human sacrifice situation as I just counted and there seems to be eleven ghosts in the trees post the second verse
the animations and PV to this are BEAUTIFUL!!! it really feels in the same vein as ‘Musunde, Hiraite, Rasetsu no Mukuro’, and ‘Kagome, Kagome’!!! this is IMMACULATE
I didn’t notice this until watching it back a few times but after the people get taken by the spirit, you can see their ghostly outlines above the trees watching Rin! Also, right before someone gets taken, all you see is their body and two red dots (eyes maybe?). Such amazing attention to detail with this vid, and a great song too! It perfectly captures the creepy, hollow feel of classic vocaloid horror
You can see after teto gets taken and the small breakdown when rin goes "please dont take me" you can actually see the spirits arms and smile for a split second in the back! A real blink if you miss it
I'm so sad this is so short!! I could listen to this forever... My favorite part in the animation itself is all the parts after Rin "falls asleep"... Very unique, I love that. I think you captured the feel of "old" horror voca songs very well. As for the Japanese side, I think a lot of it is alright! It's definitely understandable to someone who knows the language. However, I would suggest looking into the differences between how nouns and verbs conjugate differently (for ex: 消えるまつり reads more as "The festival that disappears" since 消える is a verb; unless this was your intention, I'd go with something more like 消失のまつり OR if you wanted to keep the verb, you can nominalize it as 消えるのまつり), as well as the plain form of a verb vs an imperative (for ex: in the 泣く!笑顔 !嘆く! part, none of these are imperatives but the English suggests they should be; 泣く＝泣け、笑顔（する）＝笑顔して(笑顔 is a noun that takes to "verb" it, so する＝して)、嘆く＝嘆け). I think one final important note is that だ(as in 時間だ) would be made negative as じゃない（時間じゃない）. (This next tip is a little advanced but lyrics like かわいそう少年眠りに落ちた might be made more impactful by using the てしまう・ちゃ verb endings, which would imply the "accidental"-feeling more solidly, ex 眠りに落ちちゃった. But the way you have it is fine too!) Honestly this is such a creative way to learn Japanese and I'm so glad you could share it with us!! You're doing great!! I honestly wish I thought of this when I learned lol... If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to ask! Excited to see the next song! ^^
Thank you so much for the advice! I will defiantly look more into nouns and verb conjugation! >:D Your also so right about the imperatives, in hindsight I should have defiantly turned those into verbs like with 泣け . I will pay extra attention to those next time! Thank you so much thou for the kind words and Japanese advice I really appreciate it! :DD
dont mind me 0:00 (from left to right): gakupo, haku. luka (in the distance), oliver, gumi, neru(?) 0:08 Luka, Len, Rin, Teto, Gumi 1:23 Meiko (meiko and kaito are in the way back) 1:28 Kaito
bro thought they could drop the vocaloid song of the year and we wouldnt notice...? im looking forward to see all your works, so far im falling in love with ur art, stories and songs!!!! all appreciation!!!
i just realized that at the end of the mv when rin is dancing by herself the ghosts behind watching her are the people who disappeared before! you can make out len and teto's silhouette! this is such a good production
SONICALLY, this song is already super impressive and i really love it and it absolutely hits that classic vocaloid horror song sound, but the MV is also SO GOOD... the way they're surrounded by trees giving that rural japanese occultist horror vibe, the way you can see everyone who's been spirited away in the back as apparitions, the frantic energy and movement of the dance and expressiveness (especially at the end) along with how well-animated it is... wow!! i was already interested in your work from your first few songs, but i want to say i genuinely think what you're making is creatively inspired.
This is so cool, not only is the song good, but it feels very reminiscent of early vocaloid horror songs… the story… the cameo characters… the pv…. Leading a vocaloid horror renaissance!!!
This animation is gorgeous. I like your style! Also GOD THANKS for Neru, Meiko, Teto, Kaito and ESPECIALLY FOR HAKU in this video. It is nice to see such rare guest, brings me sweet nostalgia... I have not seen my white-haired girl in new vocaloid songs FOR YEАRS ToT Almost crying now
This really captures the spirit of classic vocahorror. The editing when the other dancers are "chosen" is so eerie and perfect, and the lack of proper resolution is really haunting. Kind of reminds me of Shojo Rei in that way. It also made me think of the climax of Midsommar, wonder if that was an influence.
The composition of an old song but the animation of a recent one ! This is so cool, i really wish horror vocaloid songs can make a comeback. Also the detail of the clapping sound that dissappears after everyone but Rin disappeares !! After relistening I just noticed that whenever someone dies, they become a spirit in the background ! The red silhouettes when Rin is dancing alone is actually them 😭😭😭
I watched this last month but I never commented, now I can brag when this gets more popular I've been watching Vega-P ever since her fourth song. But I noticed a cool detail where the voices would change into the real Vocaloid's when they fell asleep, which were the characters Len and Teto.
Extremely enjoying the commentaries on this video. One of my takes is the dancers are being "taken" by someone in costume as part of the performance but Rin starts becoming delirious from exhaustion and believing it's real. So still a horror, but all for her. Maybe that's boring but everyone else has already speculated about the fun spooky stuff, so. xD
This is SO AMAZING! It feels like classic vocaloid horror and I love it! It’s so clever; poor Rin! The tuning also sounds great too, and so does the production! Thank you for making it! (It almost reminds me of Nightmare on Elm Street when they try and stay awake for days, because if they ever go to sleep, they die.)
Absolutely gorgeous!! I love the idea of a disappearance festival never heard of it before 😱Also the Japanese is AMAZING!! You literally perfected it so well! Great job and keep it up!! ❤
(It's NOT her time) 2:10 You said 彼女の時間だない but the grammatically correct version would be 時間ではないor 時間じゃない but I also completely understand if you did it intentionally, (from my view it looks like) that the ghost is saying "its her time" but she is saying no after that sentence! 😆
If I heard this when I was younger, I would def get nightmares. FANTASTIC job!!!!! this was so good!!! the animation/illustrations were so beautiful and haunting and the melody was hypnotic and eerie! so cool!!!!
DUDE this song was perfectly unnerving. it genuinely made me nervous and scared to where my heart started beating faster and my throat felt tight. it felt like i was dancing alongside them helpless praying and begging the spirt doesn't choose me too. 10/10 props!!! do you have a twitter or smth? id like to make fanart and i want a place to show u! ^_^
everything about this is absolutely gorgeous. the detail to every part is insane, the increasing blood on rins hands, the expressions, the backgrounds, and the cleaness of the animating. the music itself is gorgeous, it has a charm that feels distinctly yours and it adds something to all your music. the quality of everything you make and this especially is so strong, and this i just love this so much.
I'm sorry but I put this song on loop since yesterday (I found it yesterday and learned the dance), I'm in love with it. It sounds so nostalgic, like the old vocaloid songs from 12 years ago 💛💛
As someone who's learning Japanese, you're doing pretty good :D i'd suggest adding some furigana over the kanji in the future if possible. It can help other Japanese learners with remembering what certain kanji means in different sentences. Kanji's always been the bane of my Japanese learning experience but it is a necessity to learn :p
YOU DID THE SONG AND VIDEO?? The amount of effort you put in is insane, and I absolutely love this song, it reminds me of the vocaloid songs I used to listen to in middle school. And also again I CANNOT believe one person did all this
i love the tiny pinprick eyes staring at us when the screen goes dark, very eerie :) was the top of the drum tent supposed to resemble teeth? incredible coincidence if not lol. i love how low key and your songs are. theyre well constructed enough to stand on their own and not need to be overproduced, and also nostalgic in the simplicity. your visuals are always stunning and very yummy :)
1:31. If you turn the brightness up really high you can see that the trees look like they've a shape of head with hands at their sides, please tell me it's not just me that's seeing this.
This is so haunting and beautiful! The dance animation is amazing and the song and the visual storytelling really let the ritual unravel. The idea to put these two red dots above the characters is genius! I was terrified when the singing stopped and they appeared! The spirit is so scary! It just observes but then it inevitably takes another victim! This is fantastic
genuinely thought that the golden age of vocaloid horror was long gone but this is soooo awesome and does vocaloid horror so much justice! gives me the same nostalgic feel of the songs i used to love but with a new spin on the horror genre that's refreshing and interesting! from the tuning to the artwork to just the production style itself, this song is such a blessing to have stumbled across for SURE! i love how openended and unsettling it is.... really feels like it could be from years ago right up there with classics from producers like machigerita-p. sooo awesome!! keep up the amazing work!! ^^
i saw this on my recommended around 4 days ago and since then i CANNOT stop listening to this. even at school it's in my head and i sometimes try to do the little dance as well 😭it's just THAT good, so awesome job vega i love your songs
Nostalgia from 2012 Vocahorror gave me goosebumps while watching it, and the anticipation and eeriness of all of it left me jumpy by the end, even as my now grown self - phenomenal work!!
It is insane to me that you are not more popular, the animation and music are both beautiful. Amazing job on this, your art is really enjoyable. Proud to say I was here before you hit 100k subs
WOW. JUST WOW, I can't describe in words the delight of the song. There is so much missing like this and as soon as the song popped out to me in the recommendations, I just knew it was possible to fall in love with the song. I love everything about it, Rin's tuning, your own MV, the motif and meaning of the song, INSTRUMENTAL GOD I LOVE IT. Please keep up the good work and don't give up on this.
HOLY DAMN THIS WAS SO GOOD. I have been following your community posts and this is so amazing?! Great song obviously. Love how it ends with the sole drum trying to play and then goes quiet as the last person passes out, or like a heartbeat stopping. And also the animation is crazy beautiful, i love how you had them dissappear with the head and then the body right after they were left alone in the world. Also it is so good to listen to. You really nailed the vibe of those songs that tell a story through the visuals and lyrics. This is really well made and I hope you can get some rest. Thank you so much for making these!
Hi, I literally just stumbled on your song and after reading the description you NAILED IT. It is an old-fashioned creepy vocaloid song *and* it slaps, I love everything in it man, I'm glad I found your song!
I have no words. the song, the pv, the art, the tuning are stunning. I'm so happy that people continue the vocaloid national and keep making songs with old yamaha/crypton products despite there are new vocal engins which much more better than vocaloid. it makes me feel happy and hope that vocaloid fandom is alive and there are so talented people in the world who make our favorite singers to breathe and sing :)
Absolutely stunning, so many interesting details, love the creepy-desperate vibe this song has, I wish more people see this, thank you so much, Vega-p!
holy fucking shit, i didnt expect for this to ACTUALLY scare me, it totally gives the exact same vibes as the old horror vocaloid songs. i love it so so much, and rin was an excellent choice ❤
i've been having this on loop ever since it came out the sound is just sooo addicting and mesmerizing !! the video feels nostalgic to old videos too! thank you for this wonderful song!
This is so genuinely addicting to watch and listen to. This honestly made me super curious of the lore and What I’m most curious about is why everyone was taken? If it’s traditional for them to host this festival then why would the spirit take everyone? Also what would falling asleep mean? I don’t think they would actually fall asleep, so maybe would falling asleep referring to dancing until they’re too exhausted to continue?
I like to think this song is about doing the same things over and over and burning out, "losing your life/soul"...or literally dying of exhaustion lol Great song btw!!!

I really like how in the start, the chorus is sung by everyone, and everytime someone dissapears they stop singing. So when only Rin is left, only she sings
i really love how when rin’s linework moves over without her it kind of shows how shes a dead girl walking by that point
a what....... heathers reference,,,
I have to say, this feels like it would come from the depths of Niconico, and i mean that in the best way possible. This is amazing! Really evokes that old Vocaloid feeling in a refreshing way
Fun theory the ones who were "chosen" weren't actually chosen, they just left to ho sleep. Rin was the one chosen that's why she thought they'd died because the ghost tricked her into dancing until she died from it ala the death by hot iron shoes being used to dance the original snow white story put thee il queen through but without the hot iron just overexertion far beyond the natural limits of a human as the only way we would start bleeding from hitting our own hands or our socked feet at a festival ground we would normally pass out from exhaustion first. Especially because of the subtle "don't save me." Line...
Correction it might be a twelve dancing princesses- like human sacrifice situation as I just counted and there seems to be eleven ghosts in the trees post the second verse
I FEEL LIKE ITS 2010 AND IM WATCHING A CREEPY VOCALOID SONGS COMPILATION!!!!! This is so good im at the verge of tears
the animations and PV to this are BEAUTIFUL!!! it really feels in the same vein as ‘Musunde, Hiraite, Rasetsu no Mukuro’, and ‘Kagome, Kagome’!!! this is IMMACULATE
i love how at the start there was other vocaloids/fanloids
Gakupo, Haku, Neru, Gumi, Oliver
I didn’t notice this until watching it back a few times but after the people get taken by the spirit, you can see their ghostly outlines above the trees watching Rin! Also, right before someone gets taken, all you see is their body and two red dots (eyes maybe?). Such amazing attention to detail with this vid, and a great song too! It perfectly captures the creepy, hollow feel of classic vocaloid horror
You can see after teto gets taken and the small breakdown when rin goes "please dont take me" you can actually see the spirits arms and smile for a split second in the back! A real blink if you miss it
I also love that when Rin claps in the later portions, there’s no other clapping, showing she is all alone
the detail at the very end where the drums sound like the double ba-dump of a heart beat before going silent lives rent free in my mind
I'm so sad this is so short!! I could listen to this forever... My favorite part in the animation itself is all the parts after Rin "falls asleep"... Very unique, I love that. I think you captured the feel of "old" horror voca songs very well. As for the Japanese side, I think a lot of it is alright! It's definitely understandable to someone who knows the language. However, I would suggest looking into the differences between how nouns and verbs conjugate differently (for ex: 消えるまつり reads more as "The festival that disappears" since 消える is a verb; unless this was your intention, I'd go with something more like 消失のまつり OR if you wanted to keep the verb, you can nominalize it as 消えるのまつり), as well as the plain form of a verb vs an imperative (for ex: in the 泣く!笑顔 !嘆く! part, none of these are imperatives but the English suggests they should be; 泣く＝泣け、笑顔（する）＝笑顔して(笑顔 is a noun that takes to "verb" it, so する＝して)、嘆く＝嘆け). I think one final important note is that だ(as in 時間だ) would be made negative as じゃない（時間じゃない）. (This next tip is a little advanced but lyrics like かわいそう少年眠りに落ちた might be made more impactful by using the てしまう・ちゃ verb endings, which would imply the "accidental"-feeling more solidly, ex 眠りに落ちちゃった. But the way you have it is fine too!) Honestly this is such a creative way to learn Japanese and I'm so glad you could share it with us!! You're doing great!! I honestly wish I thought of this when I learned lol... If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to ask! Excited to see the next song! ^^
Thank you so much for the advice! I will defiantly look more into nouns and verb conjugation! >:D Your also so right about the imperatives, in hindsight I should have defiantly turned those into verbs like with 泣け . I will pay extra attention to those next time! Thank you so much thou for the kind words and Japanese advice I really appreciate it! :DD
THIS SOUNDS LIKE ITS A DECADE OLD HORROR SONG THAT WOULD GO IN THOSE “top ten scary vocaloid songs!!” VIDEOS IM EATING IT UPPP
dont mind me
0:00 (from left to right): gakupo, haku. luka (in the distance), oliver, gumi, neru(?)
0:08 Luka, Len, Rin, Teto, Gumi
1:23 Meiko (meiko and kaito are in the way back)
1:28 Kaito
bro thought they could drop the vocaloid song of the year and we wouldnt notice...? im looking forward to see all your works, so far im falling in love with ur art, stories and songs!!!! all appreciation!!!
i just realized that at the end of the mv when rin is dancing by herself the ghosts behind watching her are the people who disappeared before! you can make out len and teto's silhouette! this is such a good production
SONICALLY, this song is already super impressive and i really love it and it absolutely hits that classic vocaloid horror song sound, but the MV is also SO GOOD... the way they're surrounded by trees giving that rural japanese occultist horror vibe, the way you can see everyone who's been spirited away in the back as apparitions, the frantic energy and movement of the dance and expressiveness (especially at the end) along with how well-animated it is... wow!! i was already interested in your work from your first few songs, but i want to say i genuinely think what you're making is creatively inspired.
This is so cool, not only is the song good, but it feels very reminiscent of early vocaloid horror songs… the story… the cameo characters… the pv…. Leading a vocaloid horror renaissance!!!
This animation is gorgeous. I like your style!
Also GOD THANKS for Neru, Meiko, Teto, Kaito and ESPECIALLY FOR HAKU in this video. It is nice to see such rare guest, brings me sweet nostalgia...
I have not seen my white-haired girl in new vocaloid songs FOR YEАRS ToT Almost crying now
Honestly I love Haku, I always felt that she should get more attention!
This song is incredibly good!! It gives the vibes of original vocaloid horror
Are you planning on putting this on spotify?
Yes! I am going to try and upload a few of my songs up there soon! Thank you!
This really captures the spirit of classic vocahorror. The editing when the other dancers are "chosen" is so eerie and perfect, and the lack of proper resolution is really haunting. Kind of reminds me of Shojo Rei in that way. It also made me think of the climax of Midsommar, wonder if that was an influence.
The composition of an old song but the animation of a recent one ! This is so cool, i really wish horror vocaloid songs can make a comeback. Also the detail of the clapping sound that dissappears after everyone but Rin disappeares !!
After relistening I just noticed that whenever someone dies, they become a spirit in the background ! The red silhouettes when Rin is dancing alone is actually them 😭😭😭
I watched this last month but I never commented, now I can brag when this gets more popular I've been watching Vega-P ever since her fourth song. But I noticed a cool detail where the voices would change into the real Vocaloid's when they fell asleep, which were the characters Len and Teto.
Extremely enjoying the commentaries on this video. One of my takes is the dancers are being "taken" by someone in costume as part of the performance but Rin starts becoming delirious from exhaustion and believing it's real. So still a horror, but all for her. Maybe that's boring but everyone else has already speculated about the fun spooky stuff, so. xD
You don’t even know how many times I keep watching this every day I love this so so much it’s amazing
I love that dry/mouthful feeling old Vocaloid songs have! Also love the art and animation, you're so consistent 🤩 amazing job!
this artstyle is so crazy, i love how they have their own details and still look like vocaloids. im in love
This is SO AMAZING! It feels like classic vocaloid horror and I love it! It’s so clever; poor Rin! The tuning also sounds great too, and so does the production! Thank you for making it!
(It almost reminds me of Nightmare on Elm Street when they try and stay awake for days, because if they ever go to sleep, they die.)
THIS IS AN ABOPSOLUTE MASTERPIECE??? HOW IS IT NOT MORE POPULAR??? I ADORE THIS SO MUCH OH MY GODDD
i keep coming back to watch this and i have so many theories i love it so so so much im genuinely hyperfixating on it and all of the little details
im back again... its too good... i hope this gets added to spotify soon!
Absolutely in love with this! It brings be back to the 2010-2014 Vocaloid era.
Absolutely gorgeous!! I love the idea of a disappearance festival never heard of it before 😱Also the Japanese is AMAZING!! You literally perfected it so well! Great job and keep it up!! ❤
(It's NOT her time) 2:10 You said 彼女の時間だない but the grammatically correct version would be 時間ではないor 時間じゃない but I also completely understand if you did it intentionally, (from my view it looks like) that the ghost is saying "its her time" but she is saying no after that sentence! 😆
Thank you so much for your encouragement! :D I hope to keep improving even more~!
I love the way the song tries not to slow down on the lyrics or instrumental as if trying to keep itself awake, it's such a cool detail
this is so cool and it definitely has the vibes of old vocaloid horror songs! i love how that last "it's too quiet" is barely audible
If I heard this when I was younger, I would def get nightmares. FANTASTIC job!!!!! this was so good!!! the animation/illustrations were so beautiful and haunting and the melody was hypnotic and eerie! so cool!!!!
DUDE this song was perfectly unnerving. it genuinely made me nervous and scared to where my heart started beating faster and my throat felt tight. it felt like i was dancing alongside them helpless praying and begging the spirt doesn't choose me too. 10/10 props!!!
do you have a twitter or smth? id like to make fanart and i want a place to show u! ^_^
Thank you! :D I'm so happy you like it! My twitter is @Vega_p_music ! I would love to see fanart TT^TT
everything about this is absolutely gorgeous. the detail to every part is insane, the increasing blood on rins hands, the expressions, the backgrounds, and the cleaness of the animating. the music itself is gorgeous, it has a charm that feels distinctly yours and it adds something to all your music. the quality of everything you make and this especially is so strong, and this i just love this so much.
Oh wow thank you so much! TT^TT I am so happy you loved it!
I'm sorry but I put this song on loop since yesterday (I found it yesterday and learned the dance), I'm in love with it. It sounds so nostalgic, like the old vocaloid songs from 12 years ago 💛💛
im excited to use this song as inspo for a dnd oneshot. seriously, this is so beautifully atmospheric.
As someone who's learning Japanese, you're doing pretty good :D
i'd suggest adding some furigana over the kanji in the future if possible. It can help other Japanese learners with remembering what certain kanji means in different sentences. Kanji's always been the bane of my Japanese learning experience but it is a necessity to learn :p
YOU DID THE SONG AND VIDEO?? The amount of effort you put in is insane, and I absolutely love this song, it reminds me of the vocaloid songs I used to listen to in middle school. And also again I CANNOT believe one person did all this
OH GOD I JUST NOTICED LEN AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE BACKGROUND AFTER THEY DISAPPEAR that lowkey spooked me. anyway fantastic song!!!
Love the "surprise" that Len and Teto were also featured. Good choice in not including them in the title
i love the tiny pinprick eyes staring at us when the screen goes dark, very eerie :) was the top of the drum tent supposed to resemble teeth? incredible coincidence if not lol. i love how low key and your songs are. theyre well constructed enough to stand on their own and not need to be overproduced, and also nostalgic in the simplicity. your visuals are always stunning and very yummy :)
im so obsessed with this hold on. ive been transported back to 2012 discovering horror vocaloid songs through 360p lordxwillie subbed reprints
1:31. If you turn the brightness up really high you can see that the trees look like they've a shape of head with hands at their sides, please tell me it's not just me that's seeing this.
I really adore this 2008-2009 creepy vocaloid song vibe! It was captured perfectly, especially in Rin's tuning
This song is insanely good, i keep coming back to it. The sound is so unique, while still capturing the vibe of older horror songs
This is so haunting and beautiful! The dance animation is amazing and the song and the visual storytelling really let the ritual unravel. The idea to put these two red dots above the characters is genius! I was terrified when the singing stopped and they appeared! The spirit is so scary! It just observes but then it inevitably takes another victim! This is fantastic
I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the everything about this! Especially the wavering notes for the vocals and the visuals
wow interesting story and PV. Great song!
YEEEES ANOTHER SPOOKY VOCALOID SONG !!!
I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY RN YOU HAVE NO IDEA UUGGHHGHGH
Ah wow! The dance and overall animations are so good! And the song has a very particular feel to it, i really like it :)
genuinely thought that the golden age of vocaloid horror was long gone but this is soooo awesome and does vocaloid horror so much justice! gives me the same nostalgic feel of the songs i used to love but with a new spin on the horror genre that's refreshing and interesting! from the tuning to the artwork to just the production style itself, this song is such a blessing to have stumbled across for SURE! i love how openended and unsettling it is.... really feels like it could be from years ago right up there with classics from producers like machigerita-p. sooo awesome!! keep up the amazing work!! ^^
i saw this on my recommended around 4 days ago and since then i CANNOT stop listening to this. even at school it's in my head and i sometimes try to do the little dance as well 😭it's just THAT good, so awesome job vega i love your songs
I know this only came out a few days ago but it keeps looping in my brain. Its so good. The tone and lyrics difference is sooo gooooddd
Nostalgia from 2012 Vocahorror gave me goosebumps while watching it, and the anticipation and eeriness of all of it left me jumpy by the end, even as my now grown self - phenomenal work!!
It is insane to me that you are not more popular, the animation and music are both beautiful. Amazing job on this, your art is really enjoyable. Proud to say I was here before you hit 100k subs
why do i feel like len is like the canary for vocaloid songs?😭
WOW. JUST WOW, I can't describe in words the delight of the song. There is so much missing like this and as soon as the song popped out to me in the recommendations, I just knew it was possible to fall in love with the song. I love everything about it, Rin's tuning, your own MV, the motif and meaning of the song, INSTRUMENTAL GOD I LOVE IT. Please keep up the good work and don't give up on this.
HOLY DAMN THIS WAS SO GOOD. I have been following your community posts and this is so amazing?! Great song obviously. Love how it ends with the sole drum trying to play and then goes quiet as the last person passes out, or like a heartbeat stopping. And also the animation is crazy beautiful, i love how you had them dissappear with the head and then the body right after they were left alone in the world. Also it is so good to listen to. You really nailed the vibe of those songs that tell a story through the visuals and lyrics.
This is really well made and I hope you can get some rest. Thank you so much for making these!
Thank you so much! :DDD I am so happy that you enjoyed it and spotted all my little details >:DDD Thank you for your support!
Hi, I literally just stumbled on your song and after reading the description you NAILED IT. It is an old-fashioned creepy vocaloid song *and* it slaps, I love everything in it man, I'm glad I found your song!
I have no words. the song, the pv, the art, the tuning are stunning. I'm so happy that people continue the vocaloid national and keep making songs with old yamaha/crypton products despite there are new vocal engins which much more better than vocaloid. it makes me feel happy and hope that vocaloid fandom is alive and there are so talented people in the world who make our favorite singers to breathe and sing :)
Rin: "I hope the spirit doesn't take me."
The Spirit:
You always serve omg. I love how you use Rin's voice and how it blends in with the rest of the instruments the same way a bass or a piano would
And in true vocahorror fashion, Len is the first to go.
I feel normal about this
*listens on repeat*
The song sounds so upbeat and the dance looks fun...
I love that you have more of a classic vocaloid style and tell stories with your songs, keep it up!!
the animations in this are absolutely beautiful!! loved this so much
Absolutely stunning, so many interesting details, love the creepy-desperate vibe this song has, I wish more people see this, thank you so much, Vega-p!
whoaaaaaa this really does bring me back! you’ve got the power to revive voca-horror in your hands
holy fucking shit, i didnt expect for this to ACTUALLY scare me, it totally gives the exact same vibes as the old horror vocaloid songs. i love it so so much, and rin was an excellent choice ❤
This totally has old Vocaloid vibes and I love it! You are so talented!
i've been having this on loop ever since it came out the sound is just sooo addicting and mesmerizing !! the video feels nostalgic to old videos too! thank you for this wonderful song!
This is so genuinely addicting to watch and listen to. This honestly made me super curious of the lore and What I’m most curious about is why everyone was taken? If it’s traditional for them to host this festival then why would the spirit take everyone? Also what would falling asleep mean? I don’t think they would actually fall asleep, so maybe would falling asleep referring to dancing until they’re too exhausted to continue?
Wow this is so cool! I love the vibes. The animation is so cool and the song is so catchy. I love the concept.
I like to think this song is about doing the same things over and over and burning out, "losing your life/soul"...or literally dying of exhaustion lol
Great song btw!!!
i love how you use rhythm in your songs! each and everyone of them is a treat to listen to again and again
Instant sub. Looking at a new classic
this really took me back to old horror songs back of the day...thank you
