Dude, this channel is criminally underapreciated, your video essays on vocaloid are something i've never seem before, not a lot of people talk seriously about vocaloid, and even less so about the producers. And you do it in a very understandable armd edible but still Deep and informative way, i love your channel!
Thank you I appreciate it
Omg this song is single handedly the one that gets the most emotion out of me. I got goosebumps at least 7 times during this video. I'm so glad others feel the same way!
same!
I think you highlighted something I couldn’t grasp back in the day... Thank you! It’s a really interesting piece. Keep up the good work!
Bro, i legit cried hearing Sekiranun Graffiti and Odds and Ends for the first and second time. I was just overwhelmed by the sheer beauty these songs are.
Aghn i sort of want to cry
no one would blame you honestly
I've been holding on to this song throughout my college, and even in the professional world. Although there was a time where I didn't listen to vocaloid because I thought it was time to grow up, this song literally gave me a big reunion hug back to vocaloid. It still makes me cry even to this day (and probably while typing this)
Kinda weird. Most of us listened to vocaloid as teens or kids. I'm a 20's/30's jazz listener now, but vocaloid was my childhood. And the messages behind these songs are cool. It's a very charming genre that seems to be getting unpopular at the moment, unfortunately.
@@eustace8520 I don't understand why people have been saying that Vocaloid is dying or becoming unpopular. They just released a mobile game (Project Sekai) and made a Project Diva game for the Switch. Miku has been doing concert tours around the world every year. I've been trying to keep up with new Vocaloid music and artists, but more new videos/songs get uploaded each day than I can handle. I have a playlist of songs from over a hundred artists who only started producing Vocaloid music within the past two years.
This is one of the most beautiful video essays I have seen to be honest!
The effort of really knowing ryo's life and studying the life and the meaning of each song is mindblowing!
I also loved your tribute to wowoka and showing your love for Hachi!
Do more videos like this I will watch them
Wow thank you so much! :D
@@ubnubmaster I'll support your channel hehehehe subscribed for the good content 🎹🎹🎹
The first time I ever heard Odds and Ends I ended up crying. I never had a song strike me quite like that before. It resonated with me, and probably a lot of other people too. I still listen to it all the time, it's just that good.
bro im ngl i STILL cry. i cried at 4:30 of this video just hearing the end lmao
3:07 I think Vocaloid attracts artists who feel a need to express their troubles with mental health. It is so much easier to say these personal things through a surrogate like Miku. For example, I can write thoughts and feelings about my struggles with manic depression that I could never say out loud. One's verbal mental filter is much more strict and controlled than our other forms of expression. Once I felt the desire to record a cover of a song. There I was in an empty room, no one around, but as soon as the microphone was live I couldn't speak.
So in some ways Vocaloid (and similar) gives a voice to the voiceless. And such a thing is going to attract a different kind of artist than the average musical extrovert who loves performing at venues. One typically doesn't produce a Vocaloid song because they want to be in the spotlight or chase mainstream trends for attention. They produce a song with this niche piece of software because they have a genuine need to express themselves. And that sincerity is what sets their music apart and gives it more impact than any of the other music I listen to. Many of the songs that Vocaloid artists have produced have made me feel closer to someone I've never met on the other side of the world than I feel towards anyone around me.
I feel that anybody who has had to deal with online bullying needs to listen to Odds and Ends.
Edit: How did I get this many likes?!
Aww! I was bullied and made fun of in school, all throughout my childhood, and teenagerhood! >_< I hardly had any friends! I knew what it was like to feel rejected and alone! I can always relate to 'Odds and Ends'! It always makes me cry every time I listen to it! :(
200 likes isn't that many lol
@@inactive_ina It's a lot to me!
I don’t think I’ve ever really felt the need to leave a comment on youtube before but I just wanna say thank you for putting into words so many of the reasons why vocaloid means so much to me.
I’ve loved vocaloid since I first came across it at about 11 and it’s really hard to express to other people why it’s still so important to me as an adult. watching through your videos really validates my love for it & that i’m not just silly and childish for loving this music and the people behind it. there’s so many amazing and talented people behind these songs, thank you for taking the time to talk about them !!
keep it up! your videos really great💕
I often read comments from people saying they grew up listening to Vocaloid music. They often consider is a "childish" thing. It's so odd from my perspective. I was twenty-three back in September of 2007 when I listened to that very first handful of Hatsune Miku songs. At first I just thought it was cool from a technology perspective. But I've been listening ever since, along with all my other music. So many songs have come out with such sincerity behind them that they have moved me more than anything else I listen to.
I never put much thought into this song but now i do.. wow i want to cry
I remember the night I first watched the odds and ends
Its a terrible day and I'm feeling hopeless but when I read the lyrics of this song while listening to its glorious music, I was crying
Now its my most favorite vocaloid song
It definitely means so much to me even though its not the most well known
And you did a great job at explaining how awesome this piece is and kinda disappointed at how low people liked the video and your subs
I hope you'll get more subs in the future
I'm actually crying lol I never really paid attention to the lyrics of this song and the message that delivers really hit home so
thank you, recently i was kind of living life, and noticing vocaloid is different nowadays, and watching vocaloid again, but not songs, i discovered these kinds of videos, about things i thought about, the importance of vocaloid and how i portrayed songs in my head and today i discovered that was the case with most people, and now, i'm rediscovering vocaloid thanks to you and others like bread box, learning new things that make it all the more special, i feel the passion and magic again, thank you
Sure thing, go spread that love
I started crying because of your video essay, as someone going through college with alot of uncertainty and pressure , and socially locking myself from others. I find alot of comfort in Ryo-san's music. Your video has further amplified those feelings.
Vocaloid be like 'All that deepest, hardest to tell feelings, lemme voice it to the world'
this song was one of the first songs to make me actually cry
i found it when i was about 12 and i still listen to it five years later
it helped me get through a lot and this video really did it justice
Ryo is a top tier song writer, and no one will ever top him as the best Vocaloid producer of all time.
It is a real shame he has put Vocaloid behind him, but we should all wish him the best.
In the project diva music video, the part that got to me was the flashbacks and then the tears dropping. When Miku appeared again, it reminded me of when I would attempt to ditch what I love, but it comes back to me and I would love it again, never letting it go again.
Just found the channel, so glad to find someone explain both the musicality and the meaning behind my favorite song in the world.
I absolutely love your channel continue to make more amazing videos. You seriously need more subscribers
Dude seriously thank you for making videos like this. vocaloid has always meant so much to me, and specifically ryo and his music, odds & ends included, so its an amazing feeling to see someone who has the same views about these songs. keep up the great work!
This is one of the few Vocaloid song that actually made me cry. I usually listen to it when I'm in a bad mood.
Once I started looking at ryo's musical portfolio, I saw that at the same time as he was producing VOCALOID music, he tried to push his musical career as a composer for anime Opening songs (many credit him as composer like EGOIST or more recently mafumafu), so I could only imagine if the things he described here in ODDS&ENDS about his struggles with keeping his VOCALOID career happened during his other works, it looks like it most likely was.
Honestly I cry every single time I hear this song and I won’t lie, some days when I feel really sad/alone I put this on and it kinda helps.
I'm glad I can relate with people, I thought I was the only one getting goosebumps when I listen to this song, your channel is so underrated and you deserve so many more views, don't ever stop this channel because one day one of your videos will blow up, please keep up the good work :D
Nice video, but may i suggest to lower the volume of the music next time? I found it hard to focus or truly listen to what you are talking about since the song is very distracting (well, since it's one of my fave song, so I was singing instad of listening lol).
I think this is the first time someone has ever given me constructive criticism on a video. Yeah mixing is always a big issue when making these videos but I'll try to use this as a guideline moving forward so thanks!
@@ubnubmaster I now it's kinda late to comment lol. I agree with this person, but I would also recommend that instead of putting the music by itself, put the instrumental version (the one with no voice) because instrumental music are often used in videos and critics and all that stuff so you could try and see if it works ❤️. Btw your videos are the best man, it's hard to find such a good channel about vocaloid :D (also, sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language :p)
@@joy4084 Your English is great, okay i'm going to give this a shot thank you
@@ubnubmaster thanks to you for making videos! :D
this was a very wholesome productive thread
Thank you for your channel! I just found you just yesterday and I’m already impressed and amazed at your passion for Vocaloid ❤️❤️❤️
Man I've been binge watching your videos and these are really great stuff. I've been waiting for someone to talk about vocaloid for the longest time cause this genre is seriously so very deep and no one has really brought it to light till now.
It really shows the newer audiences what vocaloid was like in the past and brings back so much nostalgia and bittersweetness to older vocaloid fans like myself.
Keep up the great work! And perhaps maybe you could talk about some of the lesser known artists like maybe Yuyoyuppe who paved the way for Vocaloid metal (obv a biased opinion cause I love Yuppe's songs hahaha)
Why do I want to cry every time I watch your videos?? They're so insightful. 😭😭
I love ryo. Thanks for the video.
I never really listened closely to Odds&Ends until this video and I almost felt like crying. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, your videos are awesome and really informative. You gained a loyal sub.
I didn't even know what it was about when I first heard it and that shit still made me cry.
This song is, and I believe will *forever* be my all time *favorite* Vocaloid song for all of the reasons mentioned in the video.
This video made my day, great analysis!
ughhh i always feel like crying whenever i listen to odds & ends. Thanks for the great video.
This song will always. ALWAYS. Be my favorite vocaloid song. It holds SUCH a special place in my heart.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I decided to watch this video before sharing the song with my therapist to gain a better understanding of it. I always understood that it was the story of an underdog, and I view the Japanese version that way but- when I hear Jubyphonic's lyrics, I see it as looking in a mirror. A past self that always supported you is the one singing the song, and they may have felt betrayed in some way by your future self, whether that be you abandoned them by trying to erase your past, or something else entirely. Maybe I'm just projecting my own personal experience, but this song is hopefully going to be one of many to change my life for the better by screaming what I could never even whisper.
Odds and ends was my first vocal old song lol I rmb crying while listening to this
Thank you a lot for this video, it was really cool to hear the background story of a song I already liked a lot, and learning even more about it! Great video!
As someone with depression, this song always makes me cry.
Me finding your channel through recommendations is a blessing for it introduce me back to vocaloid and found new meaning for it. This channel is honeslty sooo awesome that more people needs to know about it especially those who love vocaloid
Odds and ends is a song that legit helped me through a dark, painful time, and I couldn’t tell why. Thanks for going into it and helping me to grasp what stuck with me all those years ago!
I used to cry to this song a lot as a hormonal teenager and now my brain is like, trained to start tearing up to it
This song gives me hope
I love it
Why do I click these videos when I have already watched and know I will tear up.
Wow! Can't believe there is so much more to this already amazing song! I got a bit teary eyed listening to your analysis! fantastic job!
I just discovered that he is the composer of the Bravely Second ost
oh so thats why i cry every time i hear odds and ends..
Thanks for sharing that. I didn't get the full message when I first heard it.
This song..........it pretty much sums up my life so far............still makes me cry to this day
My first listen of Odds and Ends was by Meiko V1 and it’s the version that’s stuck with me. I really love the song and I read it as a message to not hate what you make or have accomplished, there are people who are proud of you, are your friends, and like what you do.
I remember at the beginning of my school year I listened to this song on repeat. I’d get motivated whenever I play this song since it’s my last year of highschool and now with corona happened I listened to this again to be motivated to still pass and graduate. I don’t know why but this song just makes me want to do my best at whatever I’m doing
a true classic masterpiece.
Vocaloid will always be a part of me. I was 6 when I first discovered it back in 2011. I won't become the person who I am now if it wasn't for vocaloid. This song specifically helped me a lot with coping on stuff. My words can't stress enough how much vocaloid and this song means to me. THANK YOU VOCALOID AND THANK YOU RYO FOR CREATING SUCH A MASTERPIECE
Many of the Vocaloid songs that are the most important to me are the ones dealing with mental health issues because they feel like the producers are able to tap into something so raw and honest that I've rarely found in other music - and sometimes I can't help but wonder if Vocaloid as a medium makes producers feel safer getting those words out when they don't have to be the one to sing them.
But even then, Odds & Ends is unique because instead of the person struggling being a character (like Rolling Girl) or the "I" sounding like Miku singing about herself, Ryo goes the extra mile in making the song specifically about his struggles by having the song written from Miku's perspective and having her talking about him struggling. Because of that choice he removed any possible guise about the song being about anyone else and made it so, so much more vulnerable
I love your videos 💞 I remember I watched the first one some years ago and I recently discovered all the other videos you have, love them all
My favorite song in all of Vocaloid
I got to Vocaloid through playing osu, and this is my favorite song. I didn’t know that it had a story like this
Google espionage at it's best, I play this song a few times and go on RUclips to see the lyrics and this is the first video that pops up on my recommended.
Many people went into Vocaloid from Melt, some from stories in Bad End Night (at least most of my friends)
I went into Vocaloid from this song.
This song "saved" me. I mean, at least in my worst day (including the first day I know this song), it gave me hope. At least this song told me that "holy shit life sucks.
But you will survive again. Somehow."
I did lose lots and lots of tears with this song. But hey, better than blood right?
Thanks gods ryo and Vocaloid. You literally saved my life.
/Personally the only songs that give me these big goosebumps every single time I listen to it would be wowaka's (TT) and PinocchioP's "I'm glad you are evil too"
Before I even saw the lyrics, I noticed how much emotion he was able to put in her singing.
"When you think of Vocaloid the first thing that comes to mind--" I think of Rolling Girl, Lost ones weeping, Gomen ne gomen ne. "certainty isn't depression or stressed out producers"
So many english producers have been very open about mental health in their songs so while ryo might be one of the first, you kind of paint it like he's the inly
The impactful part of Odds&Ends kinda sounds the Spanish Anthem believe it or not, especially with the Orchestra version, that parts hits your emotions like a strike from a missile
The live 10th anniversary version hits different when EVERYONE sings.
Hold it right there! The song that plays at the end, it's "Sadame", right? The first and only time I've ever heard this song was through the Teto cover seen on Th3SilentOn3's channel, so I always thought that was the original. It's such a weird song, but I kinda like it.
Damn, I wish it was possible to find this song without having to go through a bunch of "Sono Chi no Sadame" covers first :P
thanks for this
Im currently in my lowest in my life I think
and this helped me a little bit better
I agree that it’s so great just one thing
In my experience people still don’t talk about mental health even is the US
this song is beautiful asf, I must say when i first saw it, it didn't really called my atenttion, So i just didn't heard it, til today, I decided to hear it for the first time, and now i realize the grave mistake i did!
Watching your videos made me go back to listen to Vocaloid songs that I haven't in some time and they still hit me like a brick. Odds and Ends is one of those that you cannot listen to without getting emotional because it is so honest. Great video but what you say can be a bit hard to catch at times, if you already have written a script for your videos would you consider adding subs to them?
this song made me cry
LEARNING HOW i lose, is 50% of the full 💯% I suppose. =T
Sorry fam I was too busy listening to the song in the background. I'll watch it again a second time
I think Jimmythumb-P's "Future" has a similar message, but focuses more on how the existence and purpose of vocaloids and how they deliver our words and has a more profound message
as i speak both japanese and english few, i hardly understand it. hearing two languages, i thought it's rather to be turned off or turned down any one of it.
Me: finishs video
Me: goes to like video
*sees likes and views*
Me: What the-
Me: Welcome to the world of hipsters.
_We're here before it's cool®._
Shall I say something about the only other song in the same album, Sky of Beginning? I believe it could be considered as a direct sequel to Odds and Ends constructed by Jin, yet another legend who has taken Vocaloid somewhere new. The Sky of Beginning is the hopeful, yet imperfect ending to a regular story that was initiated by Ryo'd Odds and ends. I remember the days of looping these two songs over and over so much that I wanted to purchase the album so bad (but failed to find a copy). Because of the simple fact of not being a part of the Kagerou Project, this song is MASSIVELY UNDERAPPRECIATED, so please make a video on it.
is no one going to talk about that outro video? 😂
lmao!
Teto kasane cover sounds like it has even more emotion
The kendrick scream insert 💀💀💀
Hatsune Miku is as real as you make her. Didn't she just make you cry? If that isn't real, then I don't know what is.
Umum, I know this is probably a little odd, but I was wondering if you could make a video about GHOST/Ghost and Pals?
For me its the best vocaloid song i've ever heard
on a unrelated note, is miku tuned in odds and ends human or robot like?
Human, you can even hear the breath
BRO WTF I CRIED LIKE A BABY
doriko makes a lot of songs which such emotion (creator of romeo and cinderella)
he is the god of miku ballads!
odds and ends is also good though
Nonononono the first thing I think about when I think about vocaloid is really sad songs
uhh, bruhh... don't get me wrong, I really raelly ove your vids. it's just that maybe lower the bgm volume a bit more or use the instrumental versions, or atleast only when you say something really important to hear... i can't seem to concentrate on your voice sometimes because of the music, especially on this odds and ends vid. the music absorbs my attention i had to rewind a couple times to understand you >_< . . . btw keep up the good work
I'm still not sure what this "vocaloid" thing is...but it sounds cool! Thanks pandora for introducing to me Otesu and Miku ^w^
Vocaloid is a short term for vocal-androids.
@@melly2452 Thanks!
Hi. Why the subtitles aren't complete? I'm not easy at listening spoken english, and I was keeping focus on the subs, but they ends at some point and I can't understand it so much what it is said.
Miku's soul cares about each person.
Odds and Ends should be the Vocaloid anthem, not Miku by Anamanaguchi
People who think that this channel is an absolute hidden gem
⬇
4:00 what is that song video? may someone tell me?
I'm assuming you mean the music video. It's the opening for project diva f: ruclips.net/video/XCURFT02R1M/видео.html
ya
5:36 lol I have the exact same figure
this vid is amazing, but i'd really appreciate it if you could tone down the music, it makes it really hard to hear you and concentrate in what youre saying
But why is Miku dressed like SeeU for this song?
It's the heartbeat module
Can you make a vid about the craziness of PinocchioP's songs?
