So basically, the series goes in the order of 1. steel cage princess 2. Dark woods circus 3. Blue Ice Castle 4. Red Swamp Bottom 5. Guard and Scythe Wide knowledge of the late night madness is a fan addition to the series , and is confirmed to not be an actual part of the series. For dark woods circus, these children have been mutilated , surgically remade to be a freak show, after being forced into an asylum. Rin and Len are to twins are where forcibly sewn together. Kaito’s Brain was switcher with that of a dog, so that’s why he’s willing to eat his own kind, and has a lack of vocal lines. Miku’s legs were exchanged with that of a goat’s, and she also looks to be blind. The ‘rotting’ they refer to can be seen as both metaphorical and literal, but I believe the literal interpretation is the most accurate. Metaphorically, the rot represents their loss of innocence, and decaying hope. Literally, the rot is caused by acid being thrown onto them if they refuse to do what they are told, which is something that was common in actual freak-shows in the past. This is sad, especially considering when it comes to Rin and Len, as one twin has far more Rot than the other, which means one is favored , or takes more to protect the other. After this song, Miku snaps and kills herself and every other ‘freak’ in the show, as it seems to be their only means of escape from the hell of the circus. ( Blue Ice Princess). After killing herself and everyone else, she is thrown into hell and tortured relentlessly. Her pain is tripled due to her ‘sins’ (Red Swamp Bottom). Once she repents, she is not forgiven, but her physical pain is lessened, and she is assigned to be a grim reaper, which pains her more emotionally than physically, despite still having to live wrapped in barbed wire. Try not to cry 🥺🥵
So, I used to be heavily into the lore, but though I've listened to this song for ages, I've forgotten a lot of it. Where does Circus Monster come into all of this or does it not?
English lyric Darker than night, deep in the woods you’ll find Standing alone, a circus that no one knows Master of all, nearly ten meters tall Watching the show, eyes that will slowly grow All who perform smile with faces torn Happy with glee, strange as they look to me Shall the fun start? follow me to the Dark Woods Circus please, join the festivity Come and see the two-headed (freak) of nature Gaze at a siren, her flesh deformed Fear the blue beast and his love for cold Decaying meals that once were warm Did we ask to breathe? Did we ask to only Be abused, living in bodies like these? When you look at me, what is it that you see? Now a face rotting and torn at the seams Through the pain I scream, how “it hurts so badly” “But we can’t help it or do anything” As the girl would weep, telling me this sadly We perform, always the circus repeats How I love the show! How I love it all so! Can you see how fun a circus can be? As our flesh decays and our eyes melt away With a face rotting, it’s fun every day How I long to die, why am I still alive? Anyone help me escape from this life “You can never leave”, yes, I have a feeling Long ago, someone had told this to me
I don’t know what part of “Can you see how fun a circus can be? As our flesh decays And our eyes melt away With our face rotting, It’s fun every day!” Is fun, but you do you chief.
Lol that is precisely the tragedy of those lines. These kids are clearly suffering in their severe abuse but can do nothing about it. They were likely kidnapped and forced into this so they can only go along with it or desperately attempt to convince themselves that it is fun, they are losing their sanity and trying to hold onto any semblance of it.
this goes for every kid in the circus, but mostly applies to rin. notice how she doesnt have those flowers on her face - the flowers actually represent the acid thrown on the children if they were bad or showed any negative emotion / didn’t listen. rin, always was a good girl, and never got acid thrown on her, because she never showed her true emotions for the circus and always pretended it was fun.

Here is my theory of this video : The character we see in the video are Rin and Len(as the two headed person), Miku(The Siren), Keito(The ‘madman’), and lastly Mekio(The girl in red). From what I understand, the deformed ‘monsters’ in the circus were not born that way. It is heavily implied later in this fanmade MV that the children were lured in somehow by the circus master. Before being transformed, they were all happy carefree children. Once deformed, they are not only put on Show, but also a abused (“Did we ask to be abused?”). They also hate their body’s that they have now(“Did we ask to breathe?”). They hate the lives they have now at the circus and want to die(Hinted by one of the children, most likely Miku says I want to die multiple times). However, you can see they constantly put on an act that everything is fine for unknown reason(maybe they think they’ll gain freedom?). One thing I have yet to touch upon is the Girl. The girl in red is constantly seen throughout the song. In my opinion, it’s very likely she is the next victim of the circus master, indicated by one of the first lines(something like staring strangely down on me. I’m just paraphrasing.). As she wanders through the circus, it seems like she takes glee from the monsters, though her face looks a little sad in one shot of her next to Miku. Update: After looking at the video again, it is very clear that the children want to escape. Indicated by the lines such as “Anyone help me escape from this place.” They only want badly to get away a but can’t. Also I found that they are always in pain in their bodies (the evidence was laid out). Their bodies only decay(“As our flesh decays”) which would hurt immensely. Thier eyes are also coming out of their sockets(The line right after “As our flesh decays”). They constant scream in agony but no body responds. Update #2 : I noticed that ‘fun’ for the park goers is torture to them. They are forced to smile (throwing out my mini theory from before.) as indicated from the first couple of lines “Smile so torn” (Phrasing since it takes a long time to go back and forth). Update #3 : I believe that the circus master was the one who did it to them.(I t would make sense in this song. Or at least an accomplice did it.). He pretends as if he is giving them a loving home, saying stuff like “The outcasts from god!” And pretends to give them a home. However, as we know from the song, he abuses them and profits off of it. Update #4 : I have some reason to believe that Mekio(the red girl) is the next victim. Towards the end of the song, she looks a bit remorseful about the ‘monsters’. Next, the show curtains close around her, implying that she was kidnapped. Lastly, at the very end, her eyes glow red, something that we see Rin and Len do in the beginning. This likely means she was transformed somehow(it’s not clear what she becomes). Also her face is full of flowers, meaning Decay in this song.(its a bit weird, but what am I to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) If I missed anything, feel free to comment. Or not.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hope you guys like this theory! (I’m still working on it though)
This was actually part of a series if you haven’t heard of it! I forgot the order of the videos and how they’re connected, but the one I know for a fact is: Wide Knowledge of Late Madness. That one is the video before this one :)
Miku: I think her legs were switched out with a goat’s and she’s blind (I think) Rin and Len: were forcibly joined together through surgery Kaito: had his brain switched a dog’s so he could eat his own kind (a cannibal) From what I remember from looking into it years ago, these ppl or kids were kidnapped, sent to some kind of asylum or place for experiments. They made them look and be this way for the circus. They also throw acid on them (the rotting, or the flowery things on their face they speak about). I’m not sure what happens after or if they escape bc I found it difficult to find the complete story translated. It’s very interesting to look into if you ever get curious about it!
This is actually really good! If the freaks refuse to do their act, or don't play nice then they would get punished. Acid was a common method in real freakshows, letting the flesh rot away.
@@Esmemeku Honestly, I'd only seen Wide Knowledge of the Late, Madness and this one as a kid, myself but the description for the first video of the former has the whole series listed in order! -Steel cage princess -wide knowledge of the late, madness -Dark wood circus -Blue ice castle -Red swamp bottom. I thought it was only the two of them tbh. Dark Woods Circus is my favorite "classic" Vocaloid horror song so this is a pleasant surprise haha
@@Esmemeku The melody for Circus Monster is playing as the background music, it connects to this story right here with Luka being forced to perform, living in fear of the ringleader
What a blast from the past. I haven’t heard this song since I was in middle school. Hearing it again at 21 is something else. You did a great job keeping that old eerily sad vibe
I remember how when I was in JrHigh, I didn’t have a lot of friends really willing to put up with me, But there was this one girl who was, despite everything, best friends with me. She was a year older than me so of COURSE I idolized her. She could tell me she’d been to the moon and I’d probably believe her! (Actually the funny part is that we’re still friends and sometimes I’ll mention something she told me and she either doesn’t remember saying it or will tell me she was just trying to seem cool lol). Anyway she would always invite me to her house to stay the night and we would stay up for HOURS just watching dark Vocaloid videos and “dark” anime (Black Butler, Death Note, the “edgy” stuff). I remember us both distinctly thinking we were “weird” and “crazy” because of this stuff (especially this video and the one that was like a “prequel” to it? Can’t remember the name tho). Honestly it did kinda effect me mentally but more in a way of me thinking “haha I’m crazy, I can act however I want!”. Not really the definition of “crazy” but still it was a really freeing feeling considering I was an overweight girl in band and musical theater who liked anime too much and didn’t really realize she was Bi yet? And not a lot of people knew how to get along with me. The point I’m trying to get to is that watching this video and hearing the music sent me back to that feeling I had as a kid. The freeing feeling of acting how I wanted without people being around to judge me. Of course I don’t see this as being “crazy” but it’s a weird euphoric feeling I haven’t felt in years. So wow thanks Juby for unlocking that part of me, even for just the brief moment where I forgot how this song went but the second it started all those feelings and memories came crashing back. ❤️
Reminds me of my own weeaboo phase. I went to a very small middle school, and I could count the number of anime fans there on one hand (literally just me and two other people) When I was in 8th grade there were these two new 6th graders who were also very weeby who immediately sort of latched on to me (the other two anime fans were an asshole and someone who didn’t like talking to others she didnt know well much) and it was really cute. They would call me senpai sometimes and face me a little Miku pin once. I thought it was so cool at the time. I don’t think I ever even knew their real names though. Then I went to a massive high school and realized there’s a lot more anime fans than I thought. Like, the entire track team was filled with weebs who would either wear the survey corps cloak everywhere or Naruto run during practice.
Omg the lyrics. They hit me in the feels. "Did we ask to breathe?" damn. It mixes really well with nostalgia, plus your voice fits perfectly with this song. Nostalgia, a bit of feels and an amazing voice is perfection. Definetly gonna listen to this all night long. Thank you for blessing us with this cover.
It looks like I'm one of the few people that's seeing this for the first time, and it gave me chills. The lyrics and melody mix together to create a horror that's multiplied by what is left unsaid, and left to your imagination.
i’ve wanted your english cover of this song for years ! it’s so coincidental that you decided to post it on this day , the day that i feel so broken and decayed , i never had a childhood or more appropriatly speaking , i was an adult during my childhood, when i was around 14 i used vocaloid and anime as an escape. but right now i’m in foster care and my foster parents are allowing me to be kid, despite me turning 18 in 9 days. this song really just helped me remember all the things i wanted to do as a kid . i used to feel like i was in this circus and instead of decaying flesh i would get bruised flesh for my failure and mistakes my mom was abusive and i knew i should’ve told someone but i was to scared of my mom and i was also too scared of seeing her being sent to jail. i’m sorry i rambled for so long, thanks for listening.
When it comes to this song I've only ever listened to the original translated version due to how much I loved the art, the story, and the feelings that came from the song, I never listened to any covers or anything else(the closest thing I did was listen to the prequel) because I was scared that it would ruin the song or the story for me, I even had that same fear with this cover, but you've managed to pleasantly surprise me! This even managed to give me chills down my spine which is something I haven't felt listening to this song since the very first time I heard it, so amazing job!
THIS IS SO GREAT OMG!! Dark Woods Circus is one of my fave old vocaloid songs but none of the english covers really lived up to the original. This is BETTER than the original imo, I cant stop listening
As yes I remember how this song freaked me out as a child when I first entered the vocaloid fandom and more so with that fake rumor of it being based off true events. Some goes for Alice of Human Sacrifice and Rotten Girl Grotesque Romance and their own fake rumors too.
Kagome Kagome and the animations scared me so much. I swear I was traumatized or something by it. I can't even hear the beginning notes without freaking out. I know it has a fake story attached, but at the same time, it was a real game, and the Garman's and Japanese were allied, so it doesn't help.
omg i remember how TERRIFIED i was of this when i was a kid.. i watched this once and was depressed for two weeks because i felt so bad for all the characters
October 28 2019 12:15AM Let this date and night be remembered as the night I lost sleep because of an amazing english cover ( *_Hey I feel like we’ve been here before_* )
I think I can interpret this story: The dark woods circus is a strange circus found in a forest outside of the city. It was built by the tall humanoid cat-like entity known as the ringmaster (or chairman). He lures kids to his circus where he captures them, deforms them, and forces them to perform there. Flowers will grow on their bodies if they try to escape or defy his orders, which can worsen their suffering. The first of his victims are vocaloids miku, Len, rin, kaito, haku, Neru, and Toto. Miku became a deformed diva, with her legs replaced with that of a goat’s, Len, and rin are fused together, kaito becomes a savage cannibal, haku and neru became tall performers, and toto becomes a clown who later hangs herself as she couldn’t handle her suffering. That woman in the red dress may look like meiko, but trust me, she’s not. She is actually the ringmaster assuming a human form. Len and rin are also tasked with passing out flyers to lure other kids to the circus. Meiko receives a flyer from them and is lured there, where she discovers its dark secret. The ringmaster captures her, but he doesn’t deform her. He instead just brainwashes her and tasks her with Len and rin’s job of passing out flyers. If you want my advice (I’m just saying this for fun): No matter how tempting it is, stay away from that circus!
I just found this today and I can say it is very well done. The first cover I heard for this song was done by Froggie and that was a few years ago. I really like both covers and I enjoy the original song. This will definitely be another cover of yours to get on my MP3 at some point. This brought back memories because one of the first Vocaloid songs I ever heard was Dark Woods Circus. Some of the first (Japanese) Vocaloid songs I heard were INSaNiTY , Dark Woods Circus , Alice Human Sacrifice and Trick And Treat. I keep finding more and more amazing English covers by you and several other people. Keep up the amazing work Juby Edit : I got into Vocaloid in middle school. Both Japanese and English versions. I still enjoy Vocaloid to this day as an adult (I’m 21 and was 13 when I got into listening to Vocaloid. Just a fun little fact)
Ahhhhh! I love this song, spooky vocaloid songs are always my favorite so when there are covers that come out around Halloween I feel blessed. Amazing lyrics and vocals as always!
I used to be obsessed with this song too! You did SO WELL, Juby. All of it works so well, and from the bottom of my heart; ALL YOUR WORK WAS NOT IN VAIN. I love this cover to bits. Thank you for blessing us in this spooky season! ❤👻🎭🎪
I had to keep pausing just so I could read everything, goodness it all goes so fast it felt like the song itself was over before I knew it and I was left wanting more. I’m not sure if it’s AS dark are Circle Me, Circle Me but it’s certainly creepy. I love it!
I was one of the kids that believed the rumors that this story was based on true events and now that I’m grown it makes sense I couldn’t find any facts on this omg. I feel so dumb lol.
These things did take place in history, obviously if you search Dark Woods Circus nothing will come up. You have to look at how in history, people would pay to see things like this. What would happen is people would have these things behind tents or cloth walls and you could pay to look through these holes and watch people be tortured, experimented on, beaten, burned, raped, etc. If you'd like I could look into it and provide some links for you.
@@archivearchive7567 that would be very helpful! I've always wondered how much truth lies in this song and if you know some information I would like you to share it ^^
I didn't expect this cover at all, that's why I love Juby, she has covered some of my favorite songs while getting the important aspects from the original.
Who else is getting 'The Alice Killings' vibes? The girl who who visits the circus represents the first Alice, who took a shortcut through the woods-she was found dead the next day. The 'blue beast' represents the second Alice, who was found dead in the bar/pub his band used to perform at-somewhere you can order beverages at. This would explain 'the meals cold' part. The siren represents the third Alice, a beautiful girl who had the most gruesome death. The killer carved text into her skin and sewed a crown on top of her head. The line 'Her mangled skin' was referring to the third Alice's torn skin, littered with letters. The twins represents the fourth Alice, who had a deadly fluid injected into them,killing them both. The twins talk about the circus as though it's a dream-the fourth Alice died in their beds.

Jesus I was worried for the two previous uploads but as I said the first time. Yay! I was hoping to hear you cover this song, you did such a wonderful job on it Juby Senpai. ❤🌹
Oh man, I hope people start listening to this song again. I made a cosplay of the Deformed Diva last year, and hardly anyone knew what she was! Both the song and the accompanying video are so hauntingly beautiful that I would hate for them to be lost to time.
Your lyrics and voice are hauntingly beautiful as always! I can feel the effort that went into this cover, and I'd like to thank you for creating something so magnificent!!! So thank you so much, now I shall put this on repeat and listen the hell out of it :D!!!
I've never been this early to one of your videos Juby!!!!! Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful and angelic your voice is!! I love your videos so much, keep up this amazing work!! :33333
This song has such a dark story behind it, and it does not even matter if people theorize what the song is about, it will always be just as dark and terrible. I remember when i was little, i found another song about a insane asylum, and someone in the comments and some others, said that it was linked to dark woods circus. There are more songs connected to dark wood circus such as "Steel Caged Princess" " Blue Ice castle" "On the Bottom of red swamp" and "Guard and Scythe"

2. Dark woods circus
3. Blue Ice Castle
4. Red Swamp Bottom
5. Guard and Scythe
Wide knowledge of the late night madness is a fan addition to the series , and is confirmed to not be an actual part of the series.
For dark woods circus, these children have been mutilated , surgically remade to be a freak show, after being forced into an asylum. Rin and Len are to twins are where forcibly sewn together. Kaito’s Brain was switcher with that of a dog, so that’s why he’s willing to eat his own kind, and has a lack of vocal lines. Miku’s legs were exchanged with that of a goat’s, and she also looks to be blind. The ‘rotting’ they refer to can be seen as both metaphorical and literal, but I believe the literal interpretation is the most accurate. Metaphorically, the rot represents their loss of innocence, and decaying hope. Literally, the rot is caused by acid being thrown onto them if they refuse to do what they are told, which is something that was common in actual freak-shows in the past. This is sad, especially considering when it comes to Rin and Len, as one twin has far more Rot than the other, which means one is favored , or takes more to protect the other. After this song, Miku snaps and kills herself and every other ‘freak’ in the show, as it seems to be their only means of escape from the hell of the circus. ( Blue Ice Princess).

English lyric
Darker than night, deep in the woods you’ll find
Standing alone, a circus that no one knows
Master of all, nearly ten meters tall
Watching the show, eyes that will slowly grow
All who perform smile with faces torn
Happy with glee, strange as they look to me
Shall the fun start? follow me to the Dark
Woods Circus please, join the festivity
Come and see the two-headed (freak) of nature
Gaze at a siren, her flesh deformed
Fear the blue beast and his love for cold
Decaying meals that once were warm
Did we ask to breathe? Did we ask to only
Be abused, living in bodies like these?
When you look at me, what is it that you see?
Now a face rotting and torn at the seams
Through the pain I scream, how “it hurts so badly”
“But we can’t help it or do anything”
As the girl would weep, telling me this sadly
We perform, always the circus repeats
How I love the show! How I love it all so!
Can you see how fun a circus can be?
As our flesh decays and our eyes melt away
With a face rotting, it’s fun every day
How I long to die, why am I still alive?
Anyone help me escape from this life
“You can never leave”, yes, I have a feeling
Long ago, someone had told this to me
Third times the charm juby
I don’t know what part of
“Can you see how fun a circus can be?
As our flesh decays
And our eyes melt away
With our face rotting,
It’s fun every day!”
Is fun, but you do you chief.

not sure what part of that is fun, but here we are.
Here is my theory of this video :
The character we see in the video are Rin and Len(as the two headed person), Miku(The Siren), Keito(The ‘madman’), and lastly Mekio(The girl in red). From what I understand, the deformed ‘monsters’ in the circus were not born that way. It is heavily implied later in this fanmade MV that the children were lured in somehow by the circus master. Before being transformed, they were all happy carefree children. Once deformed, they are not only put on Show, but also a abused (“Did we ask to be abused?”). They also hate their body’s that they have now(“Did we ask to breathe?”). They hate the lives they have now at the circus and want to die(Hinted by one of the children, most likely Miku says I want to die multiple times). However, you can see they constantly put on an act that everything is fine for unknown reason(maybe they think they’ll gain freedom?).
One thing I have yet to touch upon is the Girl. The girl in red is constantly seen throughout the song. In my opinion, it’s very likely she is the next victim of the circus master, indicated by one of the first lines(something like staring strangely down on me. I’m just paraphrasing.). As she wanders through the circus, it seems like she takes glee from the monsters, though her face looks a little sad in one shot of her next to Miku.
Update: After looking at the video again, it is very clear that the children want to escape. Indicated by the lines such as “Anyone help me escape from this place.” They only want badly to get away a but can’t.
Also I found that they are always in pain in their bodies (the evidence was laid out). Their bodies only decay(“As our flesh decays”) which would hurt immensely. Thier eyes are also coming out of their sockets(The line right after “As our flesh decays”). They constant scream in agony but no body responds.
Update #2 : I noticed that ‘fun’ for the park goers is torture to them. They are forced to smile (throwing out my mini theory from before.) as indicated from the first couple of lines “Smile so torn” (Phrasing since it takes a long time to go back and forth).
Update #3 : I believe that the circus master was the one who did it to them.(I t would make sense in this song. Or at least an accomplice did it.). He pretends as if he is giving them a loving home, saying stuff like “The outcasts from god!” And pretends to give them a home. However, as we know from the song, he abuses them and profits off of it.
Update #4 : I have some reason to believe that Mekio(the red girl) is the next victim. Towards the end of the song, she looks a bit remorseful about the ‘monsters’. Next, the show curtains close around her, implying that she was kidnapped. Lastly, at the very end, her eyes glow red, something that we see Rin and Len do in the beginning. This likely means she was transformed somehow(it’s not clear what she becomes). Also her face is full of flowers, meaning Decay in this song.(its a bit weird, but what am I to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
If I missed anything, feel free to comment. Or not.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hope you guys like this theory! (I’m still working on it though)
This was actually part of a series if you haven’t heard of it! I forgot the order of the videos and how they’re connected, but the one I know for a fact is: Wide Knowledge of Late Madness.
That one is the video before this one :)
Miku: I think her legs were switched out with a goat’s and she’s blind (I think)
Rin and Len: were forcibly joined together through surgery
Kaito: had his brain switched a dog’s so he could eat his own kind (a cannibal)
From what I remember from looking into it years ago, these ppl or kids were kidnapped, sent to some kind of asylum or place for experiments. They made them look and be this way for the circus. They also throw acid on them (the rotting, or the flowery things on their face they speak about). I’m not sure what happens after or if they escape bc I found it difficult to find the complete story translated. It’s very interesting to look into if you ever get curious about it!
This is actually really good! If the freaks refuse to do their act, or don't play nice then they would get punished. Acid was a common method in real freakshows, letting the flesh rot away.
@@Esmemeku Honestly, I'd only seen Wide Knowledge of the Late, Madness and this one as a kid, myself but the description for the first video of the former has the whole series listed in order!
-Steel cage princess
-wide knowledge of the late, madness
-Dark wood circus
-Blue ice castle
-Red swamp bottom.
I thought it was only the two of them tbh. Dark Woods Circus is my favorite "classic" Vocaloid horror song so this is a pleasant surprise haha
@@Esmemeku The melody for Circus Monster is playing as the background music, it connects to this story right here with Luka being forced to perform, living in fear of the ringleader
What a blast from the past. I haven’t heard this song since I was in middle school. Hearing it again at 21 is something else. You did a great job keeping that old eerily sad vibe
GOD THE NOSTALGIA HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK THANK YOU DAD
9 yr old me used to draw edgy fanart of this song
Juby, you didn’t just hit the high notes, you killed them, i got CHILLS this is amazing
I remember how when I was in JrHigh, I didn’t have a lot of friends really willing to put up with me, But there was this one girl who was, despite everything, best friends with me. She was a year older than me so of COURSE I idolized her. She could tell me she’d been to the moon and I’d probably believe her! (Actually the funny part is that we’re still friends and sometimes I’ll mention something she told me and she either doesn’t remember saying it or will tell me she was just trying to seem cool lol).
Anyway she would always invite me to her house to stay the night and we would stay up for HOURS just watching dark Vocaloid videos and “dark” anime (Black Butler, Death Note, the “edgy” stuff). I remember us both distinctly thinking we were “weird” and “crazy” because of this stuff (especially this video and the one that was like a “prequel” to it? Can’t remember the name tho). Honestly it did kinda effect me mentally but more in a way of me thinking “haha I’m crazy, I can act however I want!”. Not really the definition of “crazy” but still it was a really freeing feeling considering I was an overweight girl in band and musical theater who liked anime too much and didn’t really realize she was Bi yet? And not a lot of people knew how to get along with me.
The point I’m trying to get to is that watching this video and hearing the music sent me back to that feeling I had as a kid. The freeing feeling of acting how I wanted without people being around to judge me. Of course I don’t see this as being “crazy” but it’s a weird euphoric feeling I haven’t felt in years.
So wow thanks Juby for unlocking that part of me, even for just the brief moment where I forgot how this song went but the second it started all those feelings and memories came crashing back. ❤️
Despair Media
THAT ONE. WE THOUGHT WE WERE SO COOL FOR LISTENING TO THAT ONE LOL!!
Thank you now I’m gonna go look that one up!
Reminds me of my own weeaboo phase. I went to a very small middle school, and I could count the number of anime fans there on one hand (literally just me and two other people) When I was in 8th grade there were these two new 6th graders who were also very weeby who immediately sort of latched on to me (the other two anime fans were an asshole and someone who didn’t like talking to others she didnt know well much) and it was really cute. They would call me senpai sometimes and face me a little Miku pin once. I thought it was so cool at the time. I don’t think I ever even knew their real names though.
Then I went to a massive high school and realized there’s a lot more anime fans than I thought. Like, the entire track team was filled with weebs who would either wear the survey corps cloak everywhere or Naruto run during practice.
Victoria Sosa that’s a WHOLE ass mood lmaoooo.
@Despair Media this is unexpected
1:49 can’t help but hear “his love for coffee”
Yay it’s here!!!
Juby, you are an amazing creator and don’t ever forget that!!!
Omg the lyrics. They hit me in the feels. "Did we ask to breathe?" damn. It mixes really well with nostalgia, plus your voice fits perfectly with this song. Nostalgia, a bit of feels and an amazing voice is perfection. Definetly gonna listen to this all night long. Thank you for blessing us with this cover.
It looks like I'm one of the few people that's seeing this for the first time, and it gave me chills. The lyrics and melody mix together to create a horror that's multiplied by what is left unsaid, and left to your imagination.
i’ve wanted your english cover of this song for years ! it’s so coincidental that you decided to post it on this day , the day that i feel so broken and decayed , i never had a childhood or more appropriatly speaking , i was an adult during my childhood, when i was around 14 i used vocaloid and anime as an escape. but right now i’m in foster care and my foster parents are allowing me to be kid, despite me turning 18 in 9 days. this song really just helped me remember all the things i wanted to do as a kid . i used to feel like i was in this circus and instead of decaying flesh i would get bruised flesh for my failure and mistakes my mom was abusive and i knew i should’ve told someone but i was to scared of my mom and i was also too scared of seeing her being sent to jail. i’m sorry i rambled for so long, thanks for listening.
"Did we ask to breath? Did we ask to only be abused?"
ACK my heart...
*it only took ten years for a good English cover to come out*
When it comes to this song I've only ever listened to the original translated version due to how much I loved the art, the story, and the feelings that came from the song, I never listened to any covers or anything else(the closest thing I did was listen to the prequel) because I was scared that it would ruin the song or the story for me, I even had that same fear with this cover, but you've managed to pleasantly surprise me! This even managed to give me chills down my spine which is something I haven't felt listening to this song since the very first time I heard it, so amazing job!
Is *Spooky Month* about to end or is *Spooky Day* about to begin?
I’ll let you be the judge of that.
the voice you used at first, and then switch for a more natural voice when their feelings came through the lyrics absolutely haunts me
THIS IS SO GREAT OMG!! Dark Woods Circus is one of my fave old vocaloid songs but none of the english covers really lived up to the original. This is BETTER than the original imo, I cant stop listening
*^* going on a whole nostalgia roller coaster for a second time
Third times a charm :3
Man, this song brings back so many memories
As yes I remember how this song freaked me out as a child when I first entered the vocaloid fandom and more so with that fake rumor of it being based off true events. Some goes for Alice of Human Sacrifice and Rotten Girl Grotesque Romance and their own fake rumors too.
Yeah, but there are actually some real ones like "secrets of wisteria". That one still scares me shitless
Kagome Kagome and the animations scared me so much. I swear I was traumatized or something by it. I can't even hear the beginning notes without freaking out. I know it has a fake story attached, but at the same time, it was a real game, and the Garman's and Japanese were allied, so it doesn't help.
omg i remember how TERRIFIED i was of this when i was a kid.. i watched this once and was depressed for two weeks because i felt so bad for all the characters
Full version! The night owls understand.
Also this was amazing like everything else you make.
This cover is literally so beautiful, it makes me feel emotional inside. Your singing was so beautiful and full of emotion!
Remember listening to this all the time
Holy hecc your voice goes so well with spooky songs. I am in love with the vibe of this whole thing. Keep being amazing!
I was just about to sleep thinking you would save the actual upload for tomorrow. This was amazing! Love your covers
Awe, I just read the description. You did your best, Juby!! And its amazing :D i love this song and your cover 👌
Me: *I should be asleep*
Jubyphonic: *uploads*
Also me: *why must it be just as I'm about to got to bed?*
I like this revised version since it makes it easier for me to understand all the words without having to look them up. Thanks, Juby ❤
I am genuinely speechless. This is so amazing! Almost better than the UTAU cover!
This song takes me back when I first began to listen to Vocaloid, definitely one of my favorites. You captured the heart of what makes it so great :)
well, new fucked up thing that will now live rent free in my mind for the rest of eternity...
cries* our queen blesses upon our dark souls the nostalgia

Let this date and night be remembered as the night I lost sleep because of an amazing english cover
( *_Hey I feel like we’ve been here before_* )
jesus how many times did you comment
TheUnknownAbsol shoot I didn’t even notice that, sleep deprivation hell of a drug
@@zykedm1823 lol, well i mean 2 of them are the top comments
I think I can interpret this story:
The dark woods circus is a strange circus found in a forest outside of the city. It was built by the tall humanoid cat-like entity known as the ringmaster (or chairman). He lures kids to his circus where he captures them, deforms them, and forces them to perform there. Flowers will grow on their bodies if they try to escape or defy his orders, which can worsen their suffering. The first of his victims are vocaloids miku, Len, rin, kaito, haku, Neru, and Toto. Miku became a deformed diva, with her legs replaced with that of a goat’s, Len, and rin are fused together, kaito becomes a savage cannibal, haku and neru became tall performers, and toto becomes a clown who later hangs herself as she couldn’t handle her suffering. That woman in the red dress may look like meiko, but trust me, she’s not. She is actually the ringmaster assuming a human form. Len and rin are also tasked with passing out flyers to lure other kids to the circus. Meiko receives a flyer from them and is lured there, where she discovers its dark secret. The ringmaster captures her, but he doesn’t deform her. He instead just brainwashes her and tasks her with Len and rin’s job of passing out flyers.
If you want my advice (I’m just saying this for fun): No matter how tempting it is, stay away from that circus!
I just found this today and I can say it is very well done. The first cover I heard for this song was done by Froggie and that was a few years ago. I really like both covers and I enjoy the original song. This will definitely be another cover of yours to get on my MP3 at some point. This brought back memories because one of the first Vocaloid songs I ever heard was Dark Woods Circus. Some of the first (Japanese) Vocaloid songs I heard were INSaNiTY , Dark Woods Circus , Alice Human Sacrifice and Trick And Treat. I keep finding more and more amazing English covers by you and several other people. Keep up the amazing work Juby
Edit : I got into Vocaloid in middle school. Both Japanese and English versions. I still enjoy Vocaloid to this day as an adult (I’m 21 and was 13 when I got into listening to Vocaloid. Just a fun little fact)
YO u always deliver exactly what I'm looking for in an english cover. Your voice is very beautiful and I wish much success
This is a blast from the past. I’m so glad you did this.
I remember seeing the original one long ago, it's still just as eerie and sad but it sticks with you
Very good for spook month!
Ahhhhh! I love this song, spooky vocaloid songs are always my favorite so when there are covers that come out around Halloween I feel blessed. Amazing lyrics and vocals as always!
Oh man, good old memories.
Just in time for spooktober.
I used to be obsessed with this song too! You did SO WELL, Juby. All of it works so well, and from the bottom of my heart; ALL YOUR WORK WAS NOT IN VAIN. I love this cover to bits. Thank you for blessing us in this spooky season! ❤👻🎭🎪
This has always been one of my favorites!! This is so lovely, Happy Halloween!! :3
I had to keep pausing just so I could read everything, goodness it all goes so fast it felt like the song itself was over before I knew it and I was left wanting more. I’m not sure if it’s AS dark are Circle Me, Circle Me but it’s certainly creepy. I love it!
This song genuinely brings me to tears every time i hear it
Why am I like this
It's like circus monster and circle you had a child, this song
I have been waiting so long for a good English cover of this!!!
I was one of the kids that believed the rumors that this story was based on true events and now that I’m grown it makes sense I couldn’t find any facts on this omg. I feel so dumb lol.
These things did take place in history, obviously if you search Dark Woods Circus nothing will come up. You have to look at how in history, people would pay to see things like this. What would happen is people would have these things behind tents or cloth walls and you could pay to look through these holes and watch people be tortured, experimented on, beaten, burned, raped, etc. If you'd like I could look into it and provide some links for you.
@@archivearchive7567 that would be very helpful! I've always wondered how much truth lies in this song and if you know some information I would like you to share it ^^
Pls do:
Alice of human sacrifice
Secrets of wysteria
Circle you circle you
And anything else you want
I didn't expect this cover at all, that's why I love Juby, she has covered some of my favorite songs while getting the important aspects from the original.
Who else is getting 'The Alice Killings' vibes?
The girl who who visits the circus represents the first Alice, who took a shortcut through the woods-she was found dead the next day.
The 'blue beast' represents the second Alice, who was found dead in the bar/pub his band used to perform at-somewhere you can order beverages at. This would explain 'the meals cold' part.
The siren represents the third Alice, a beautiful girl who had the most gruesome death. The killer carved text into her skin and sewed a crown on top of her head. The line 'Her mangled skin' was referring to the third Alice's torn skin, littered with letters.
The twins represents the fourth Alice, who had a deadly fluid injected into them,killing them both. The twins talk about the circus as though it's a dream-the fourth Alice died in their beds.
I've been waiting for a cover, thank youuu!
This was both absolutely beautiful and nostalgic. Thank you for covering this, Juby. 💙
JSBDGSB I'M SO EARLY , THIS IS WILD, I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH !!!! I MADE A TRANSLATION A FEW YEARS AGO SO I COULD SING IT, I LOVE THIS AND UR COVER!!!!💖💖💖💓💓💓 GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS!!!!!!!
It’s about time u made a cover for this!
Jesus I was worried for the two previous uploads but as I said the first time.
Yay! I was hoping to hear you cover this song, you did such a wonderful job on it Juby Senpai. ❤🌹
Not sleeping till the full version has been uploaded~! Worth it!
I’VE WAITED FOR THIS DAY! this is such an underrated song, and your cover is amazing as always!
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I remember crying at the original but NOW I'M CRYING FOR YOUR COVER.
Aaaaaaa. Wonderful job.
Ooo, I like the madoka vibes this gives
Oh man, I hope people start listening to this song again. I made a cosplay of the Deformed Diva last year, and hardly anyone knew what she was! Both the song and the accompanying video are so hauntingly beautiful that I would hate for them to be lost to time.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER THANK YOU
Your lyrics and voice are hauntingly beautiful as always! I can feel the effort that went into this cover, and I'd like to thank you for creating something so magnificent!!! So thank you so much, now I shall put this on repeat and listen the hell out of it :D!!!
This was the song of my nightmares....
*sees Juby making a cover of this*
...Wait, it still is.
Man i always wanted a English cover of this song. Good work! I love it!
Good to see this up in full! Bad for my sleep schedule, but music to my ears (literally and metaphorically).
My favorite creepy or dark song of all the vocaloids x3 thanks juby ! lovely cover !!!
Goodness~ This is even better than the first version!! Thx u so much Juby for making a cover of one of my favorites songs. Happy Halloween girl ;3
I've never been this early to one of your videos Juby!!!!! Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful and angelic your voice is!! I love your videos so much, keep up this amazing work!! :33333
that was good, i'd love to see you do the other songs in the series: steel queen caged princess,blue ice castle, red swamp bottom and guard and scythe
I screamed when I saw this. This is one of the first vocaloid songs I ever listened to! No freaking way!
This song has such a dark story behind it, and it does not even matter if people theorize what the song is about, it will always be just as dark and terrible. I remember when i was little, i found another song about a insane asylum, and someone in the comments and some others, said that it was linked to dark woods circus. There are more songs connected to dark wood circus such as "Steel Caged Princess" " Blue Ice castle" "On the Bottom of red swamp" and "Guard and Scythe"
Holy cow, giiirl!!! I love this cover ❤ Also thanks for the throwback to my teenage memories ❤
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IVE WAITED FOR THIS
this threw me back a couple years, thank you Juby I’m blessed
3:10
I don't know why. But this part of the cover is my favorite. The way she sung this just sounds so pretty and nice.
Damn Juby taking us back!!
Juby, your high notes in that F# 5 is so good.
Fantastic job Judy, love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Havent heard this song in years, great cover! Time to repress the memory again so it stops hurting :')
OMG YES
Thanks For Bringing My Childhood back to Life 😊
This is one of the best covers I heard from this song.
Keep Slaying Juby! 💕
