About The Song
------
This song has obviously had very significant meaning to most Vocaloid listeners for a long time, and likewise it's always been significant to me.
I consider it one of the few Vocaloid songs that are truly timeless, and wowaka is still one of my favorite producers. Even long after his death, I feel that he is unparalleled, and there may never be anyone who is truly equal to his sound.
Though this isn't my favorite song by him, it is certainly his most iconic one, and it's been a long time since I saw a brand new cover of it that really did it justice.
Cillia's cover of it with Mawarine Shuu is actually the entire reason I got into UTAU in the first place- so once again, we've made a cover that brings us full circle, LMAO.
Even now, there is still a viscerally relatable feeling to the thought of the protagonist endlessly chasing their hopes and dreams, yet they always feel so far away no matter how hard they try. But even when they fall and hurt themself, they try again.
A lot of people interpret the ending to be the Rolling Girl deciding to kill herself, and they interpret the boy who's with her to be the manifestation of depression.
But instead I like to imagine that the person who holds the girl in the end is someone who cares about her.
Yes, he is presented in the beginning as if he were cruel, or hurting her, but I feel like that is how we sometimes view the people who try to help us when we're depressed. We often interpret their attempts to get us to stop doing harmful and self destructive things as attempts to hurt us and hold us back.
But notice that that section of the PV is all in black and white, but when the Rolling Girl finally accepts the boy's embrace, that is the only time the PV is full of color.
I imagine that saying she must be tired and asking her to stop her breath, he's telling her to finally rest and stop hurting herself in pursuit of success.
Anyway, that's the idea I went with for this cover at least.

About Production
------
PHEW, this cover was a looong time coming. I tuned it years ago, but I had such trouble mixing with the original version. Then, I found out that my favorite remix of the song had an official instrumental that you could buy on bandcamp- so I did !
I was originally planning on a simple PV, but when I commissioned art from Awoito, they surprised me with an entire sequence ! I couldn't let all that amazing work go to waste, so I set to making a full PV, and that took me a few weeks too LMAO
But now, it's finally all done, and I'm satisfied with how it all turned out

Amazing. I didn’t expect the use of the falsetto so often, but it worked so incredibly well. It gave downtime between the loud and its something I hope to work into my own tuning more often!!
