      There is speculation that Pure pure is a seperate character. but i DOUBT that was the real idea originally.
      I think that Miku should just be whatever the person wants it to be. and even with how "adult" rabbit hole is, they also comment that the character is 18+

    Ichi-no-Sakura Miku is undoubtedly beautiful, but I do think that she's better off kept as a memory in terms of ppl cosplaying her and whatnot.
    If I'm remembering correctly, KuroUsa-P released Senbonzakura months after the deadly Tohoku earthquake in 2011, and cited that he hoped the song would "bring the country together" (as they rebuilt) or something along those lines. I understand the logic of wanting to unite your country's people by reminding them of a time period when they considered themselves as very strong, but retrospectively, it was a bit of an odd approach, especially considering what they had to do to other countries to be considered as "strong". There's a reason why this song isn't added to Korean copies of the games.
    With all that being said, I don’t want it to seem like I'm ragging on KuroUsa-P, because while it definitely isn’t a creative decision that I would have made, I think I can extend grace for where he was coming from. For what it's worth, I think he succeeded in some way. He did bring people together, and he went beyond his intended audience for many years to come. I guess that it was worth it in the end.
    Sorry for the long comment, I just think that it's an interesting module to discuss, and I get excited with videos like these. Hope to see more in the future!

      But YES! I think the best way to take it, is to enjoy the art that was given, but also to understand that this song is most definitely a RELIC of it's time.
      I think its great to appreciate the culture of japan, and to also want to fight for that said culture to thrive for years to come. But they definitely OVERDID on what they probably should have.

I don't know the specific character of the Japanese pentatonic scale though and how different it is from Chinese. I imagine it to be very similar and based on the modes of the elements, including void instead metal or gold.

    Some people we dont know much about Vocaloid or song around it seem to think only 2 things
    1 " cute dance yet people dont know the meaning"
    2 " dont get it but it intersing song to listen"
    The new people or only happend hear a song so big that they look it up but know onyl small part of the company around it or the artist
    In cases like those you have vocalois fans telling those people in post " that most song are often with a Dance and there dance tell a story and 50% of those song are Always dark and the people of japan and around the world know it damm well"

    this song seems to be criticizing/satirizing how japan handled things during this time period from the lyrics and imagery. i am very confused how people are comprehending it as pro-imperalisim or as war crime denial. can someone explain? i agree the imagery is insensitive, especially to a Chinese or Korean audience but I feel japan is the villain here??

    • @SekaiDreaming
      @SekaiDreaming  Месяц назад +3

      I think this may also be a very fair way to observe and handle the themes displayed in the song/video!
      Some take it way too far. and even claim that this song is government propaganda. But i generally see it more as showing the dark and "strong" background of japan but also showing the grace of japan's culture slowly being stripped away. Which is definitely a very valid and real issue happening in the country as we speak.
      But i never have really went as far as to think the song is exactly as dark as some may paint it to be. The artist even claimed that it was made to hopefully be a joyful song to help unify japan

      @@crowwithaknife1312 The deep dive didn't really change my opinion, honestly. I also don't really understand how even from the perspective it was nationalist it'd be unifying or positive, so I never really assumed anything from his statement there. (Sorry I sound so contrarian lol)
      I guess I shouldn't be so confident about my statement, and definetly am not as much, but I'm still not to sure of the pro Japan in the war way of reading it, and find it forced. Its definetly possible its a mix of both possibilities. Anti war, anti Japan's involvement, but still paints Japan as the victim? Not to sure.

      Haha its honestly not THAT deep.
      Just that Japan has been worried about the decline of their culture for awhile now. (and its happening VERY quickly too) and that most likely at some point, japan is going to be very westernized.
      Which is the point of the song. to display that their isnt much you can really do about the fade of their culture. its more sad than anything! But probably not a government plot ahah

    • @SombreDiamant
      @SombreDiamant Месяц назад

      This song isn’t about WW2 Japan but Meiji Restoration Japan, decades earlier, when they were bullied by the US unto opening theirs borders 😅
      The rising sun has been used for hundred of years and symbolises traditional Japan, because at that time the country was divided by pro westernisation and anti westernisation, imperials and military, you can find many symbolic of traditional Japan like Buddhism, cherry blossoms, oirans etc as opposed to western symbols like bicycles, ICBMs etc
      In the translation they talk about darkness engulfing the universe they know, and it’s a direct reference to Matthew Perry’s gunboats float « Black Ships »
      This song is far from being imperialist and nationalist, but rather about Japan trying to preserve their culture during Meiji Restoration.
      Ofc I do not deny 20th century Japan actions, but this is not the point of the song
