The Darkest Song in Taiko no Tatsujin
Вставка

- For our second spooky / spooky rhythm game video of the month, we're going to be covering what I think is the darkest song in Taiko no Tatsujin, Joubutsu2000. (nope, not 1stpai, the secret taiko song.)

Hello french person here , a couple of mistakes were done in the lyrics , at 5:31 it actually means : "Having given everything we had" 5:34" Without much anger." 5:09 The 1st part is correct however the 2nd part of that sentence means : "Should we even try" 5:15 "But most of the time, that is dictated suddenly" 5:24 "That being said" With that that is all the errors i've found . I believe tzechi has just made a rough translation of what was said , even though it is close to what it actually means , this is the correct translation.
SOMEBODY GET THIS GUY UP THE COMMENTS
@@YouGoDoe GET HIM UP THE COMMENTS YESSS
And now the meaning can be shifted again, to japanese workers tired of the old ways and hoping for changes with the change of eras... maybe?
ahh, i got the english transcription of my lyrics from taiko time since i couldnt really find a proper english translation for the lyrics, ill pin this comment so more people can see it
No
Taiko devs: Hey let's put the drum in samurai armor, it'll be cute!
Also Taiko devs: Let's hit them with an analogue horror type beat
lol
Haha fr 😂
Bandai Namco Entertainment: OK we need a new song for our 3DS entry.
Taiko Dev: What if we made a song about a dude who gets dumped and then turns to drugs?
Bandai Namco Entertainment: Perfect!
@@Star.6739 "how about a guy who works in a black company and suffers depression due to it?"
@@QuantemDeconstructor or maybe a song where someone reads a love letter... and then it turns out it was from her sister?
honestly. with the whole "i'm hungry" and "massacre" thing i was ready to say this was about the irish potato famine
the irish potato famine was caused by a disease killing potatoes
@@coolwolfygamer452_epic and the irish ate potatoes almost all the time
@@coolwolfygamer452_epic the famine was caused by the British empire withholding food exports, it was merely exacerbated by the blight
@@AdvancePlays british flag is red and blue and so are the notes
@@gothicwvlff2 however, there is no white, as scotland does not exist in their earth.
One other little piece of info: The first half of the song is at 110 BPM, and in Japan the phone number to report a crime or accident is 110.
What bpm is the second half? I kinda want to chart this song in adofai
@@dakaramotto. if you finish it can you link the video here
@@dakaramotto.use a tempo tapper
hot damn what kinda arg horror shit the taikou devs playin at 😭
@@dakaramotto. Pretty sure the second half is 165
I like to think this is part 2 of railway bento, he’s hungry and will destroy anything in his way to find something to eat lmao.
Makes sense, I guess the guy is on a rampage from hunger and then somehow burns alive the train's incinerator
@@missalrightisokay2101 i like the sound of that
@@missalrightisokay2101 Now that I think of it, at the last bit of the song that gives you a chart of the "massacre" numbers, you can hear the signature sound of a train.... Oh jeez.
"lmao"?
All because a child annoyed him?
Personally, I believe that スーハー2000 is also pretty dark, and is allegedly about a man turning to drugs after being dumped by his girlfriend. Even by today’s standards, スーハー2000 is still one of the hardest songs to ever be featured on Chojin (The grade before Tatsujin). If not for Laur joining the party with his outrageously hard song called Chimimoryo （魑魅魍魎）, it would still have been the hardest Chojin song.
kyouran dotou: I should be in tatsujin
@@user-yu9mf2ob1z But to be honest I think that Kyouran Dotou is still easier than Chimimoryo
Suuhaa is such a banger
I thought it's just a man trying hard to live normally while having breathing condition (which explains the スーハー which means deep breath)
wait that whats the song is supposed to be about? That song is one of the hardest of the 2000 series in my personal opinion
as someone who fell into the 2000 rabbit hole, i'd also like to mention some other contenders from that series that are also pretty dark lol
- kechadon 2000 is about a mangaka desperately trying to finish his work before his editors bust down his door (overworking is a very common theme among the songs that have themes)
- yokuderu 2000 is about an overworked office worker who wants to take a well-deserved vacation to the mountains (hence the yodelling theme)
- taberuna 2000 is about a guy who eats for 3 hours straight before his heart stops
- hataraku 2000 is about a programming team going mad over the build that everybody seems to be messing up
- etc, etc, etc...
I'm starting to see a pattern.
Damn overwork must really be an issue over there...
A fan of 2000 song series too and let me add some other songs what's it about:
For overwork related:
-Tenjiku 2000 is the same as Yokuderu 2000 (overworked office worked) but instead want to have a vacation on the hill, he went to India instead (which unfortunately met his boss during his trip in India).
-Norudon 2000 although it sounds upbeat and catchy, it has a dark background about work in the middle song.
-Mada Saitama 2000 is about a worker going on a train after a long day's work but unfortunately missed his train station he needs to go off and miserably in the countryside.
For other songs:
-Saitama 2000 is simply just Saitama 2000. (a beginner should play this, it's catchy)
-Koibumi 2000 simply about a girl *on the rock band* confessing her crush *ended up the real person she was confessing was her sister*.
-Kita Saitama 2000 is about cities in the district of Saitama.
-Kita Saitama 200 is a slower version of Kita Saitama 2000.
-Soroban 2000 is about 3 students playing the arcade by using Abacus (basically the song name translated to English is Abacus 2000 as well), not to mention the game they're playing is Soroban 2000 too.
-EkiBEN 2000 (Literally EkiBen is Japanese's Lunch for train passengers) is about a train traveller whose vacation didn't go as planned (not able to buy a bento and peaceful times on train ruined by some people and a kid).
-X-DAY 2000 is basically just a remix from Linda AI-CUE's OST game called X-DAY 2.
-Kidaruma 2000 is just an interview from MC Linn and Linda AI-CUE. (this appear as a april fool's joke from them)
-Shimedore 2000(+) is a complination of all the 2000 songs before Kidaruma 2000 (plus version has some sound in EkiBEN and uncut version of Kidaruma 2000 at the end).
-Joubutsu 2000 is explained in this video.
-Mata Saitama 2000 just like Kita Saitama 2000 but Linda talks about food instead (notice the cities are different now unlike Kita Saitama because they don't exist anymore, also Jelly Fry!).
-Suuhaa 2000 is about being drunk? (worth playing if you have no knowledge about this song)
-Donkama 2000 probably Linda just messing with his Doncamatic, google it if you don't know what it is (also worth playing if you have no knowledge about this song).
-Yokuderu 15300 is Yokuderu 2000 played at x7.65 speed.
-Nesin Amatias is the reverse version of Saitama 2000 (as Nesin= Ni sen = 2000).
-Shimedore 2000 was supposed to end the 2000 series after Taiko 14 released but until now, it hasn't ended yet and existed Zoku Shimedore 2000, basically like Shimedore 2000 but between the song Joubutsu 2000 to Waraeru 2000.
-Taiko no 2000 is a "back on track" songs like Saitama 2000 after years of making songs about overwork and life problems.
Last is Waraeru 2000 and personally I felt this song is the darkest (comparing to Joubutsu 2000 when they talk about be strong but ended up being hopeless and just have to kill everyone), Waraeru 2000 is about escape from reality by attempt to suicide (would make sense when at the start he said "Let's end everything" and "Let's jump", jumping off the cliff or building perhaps?). The devil inside him laughing and him asking for help when he's in trouble, not to mention he was being chased (probably running away from reality like works,relationship and other stuffs). At the end probably his boss or colleague said him to rest today after worked hard and will meet him again tomorrow (which about stress working everyday?). Not to mention about "Self-responsibility?" and "Escape to survive!".
Some mentions I want to say:
+Thanks to Taiko Time Blog i can understand all the 2000 are all about but some of them might not be correct since one or two doesn't have the lyrics translated to English.
+Some of the songs has secret behind, mostly is morse codes.
+Fix it for me if something i said is not correct or missing anything since most the sources I was finding was in Taiko Time, other stuffs for Japanese Culture. Any feedback will be appreciated.
+My fav is Waraeru 2000, Suuhaa 2000 and Donkama 2000 since i love dark, distorted songs in taiko (although most of it isn't).
+2000 series are songs that isn't hard nor easy, it's either easy to pass but hard to fc. (Donkama 2000 is an exception)
+I'll always keep checking and fixing some parts i might missed or inaccurate parts or songs that I haven't fully known the meaning of it yet.
+=/=MM is not a 2000 song despite it has 2000 in it.
+Taberuna 2000 is a guy went home, straight eating for hours and either he died after eating or just tired sleeping at the end of the song.
+Be mindful that some of them are just theory, example like Suuhaa 2000 and Waraeru 2000 since not enough context, materials,...
Edited: Fixed EkiBEN 2000 missing parts about lunch box and Mata Saitama 2000's cities Linda mentioned in song.
Btw
Kita Saitama Gun(county) is not existed anymore now, since its machi is grouped with Kazo cities with others Gun.
(Grouped at 2010)
@@riyusakaa_ yeah i did some researches about it but the song Kita Saitama 2000 was made before Japan decide to dissolve Kita-Saitama district. So it still makes sense this song is about the district (and 3 towns before grouping into a new city in Kazo).
@MaiChickenButt tbh, i still don't know clearly what this song's about. Sure, it sounds like he's smoking (breathing in and out, sucking it in and more into the lungs) but has little context and clearly the singer here is broke (as you can see he was saying looking at something expensive with beautiful high numbers, ordering wine and sashimi with budget one). Other than that, i still have no better clue because it could be another work related because of his salary's too low? And the later part of lyrics, it doesn't seem about him and his cigarette anymore.
Honestly the fact that it just repeats "I'm hungry.." over and over makes it that much more unnerving.
Nah bro, he just needs something to eat.
@@AASheim_GD bro just hungry

Well. Now I'm kinda freaked out about a song I've never heard before on a rhythm game I've never played before. Great video
look into 1stpai, you'll never want to get near this game again! theres a video on it with a title similar to this one, i think it is also called "the darkest song in taiko no tatsujin"
@@timedyne (^v^) 1stpai
@@timedyne "never want to get near this game" while this game have all the anime, vocaloid and J-pop songs? What are you talking about?
@@hiway19891 i was making a hyperbolic joke, as 1stpai is quite creepy and i could see why someone would not want to go near the game after learning about it.
@@timedyne 1stpai is from a yokai themed spin-off game or maybe a trailer that never got released. Which is why there's festival style drumming and screaming. It's scary on purpose I think.
Even at the very end, it’s still dark. If you notice after the red note 37564, there are a few blue notes after it. This is to bring the total note count to 999, an unlucky number in Japan.
probably to get the fc to 999
This was actually because at the time the maximum note count was 999, until this was broken by Shimedore 2000 with 1414.
Flip that sh1t around to get 666, Devil number
Yes, and there is also Galaxy Express 999.
999は別に不吉な数字じゃないと思うな...苦を意味するからかな？
I'm more fluent in French than Japanese, and so without the 'massacre' context, I had always understood it as a somber-yet-satisfied ending to the 2000 series, to which this was SUPPOSED to be the finale of.
Someone else said the crackling sounded more like vinyl scratches to them, and I would agree that's how I always inferred it!
Then for the bang, I don't know why I always assumed it was a confetti popper. Maybe that fits the theme of a thankful parting?
Lastly, I only ever heard the one "I'm hungry" line in French while playing, but I thought it was a quiet admittance that they crave more, and don't want this to be the end. It easily goes to the realm of freaky when taken literally, I definitely enjoy exploring that aspect!
This is the more grounded take I was looking for, thanks
according to reddit, the person the song is about was in an arson and as their house burned down they swore revenge on the people who burnt down their house(explaining the mentions of massacre and the crackling of fire). Once the person gets revenge they immediately regret it and sits on some train tracks wanting to be ran over. the gong at the end symbolizes the impact and the 30-ish long note verse at the end is the train horn after the passing (i tried finding the person who made this analogy but i was unsuccessful)
@@Project-Milchwasser-Real you lost me at "according to Reddit"
@@jonathanbarkins8480 mkay but like the theory has a point though
the whistle after the 'bang' at the end sounds like one of those wooden toy train whistles
and what does the theory coming from Reddit have anything to do with anything?
the fact joubutsu is specifically a peaceful death would support this i think. the 37564/minagoroshi is a little harder to fit into this interpretation, although it could theoretically be referring to just the series being annihilated or something. the 110 bpm another comment mentioned could be a coincidence,,, the 999 notes being an unlucky number is also maybe just a "we're sad to see it go" thing but that is a bit,,, idk
the bang at the end is either a firecracker or a gunshot or something similar, and the train whistle is a bit weird, but it could be another kinda "we killed 2000 series and are riding off into the sunset" thing.
the more i write the more i am convinced this was either a cry for help or written to bait people into overthinking what is essentially just a very weird sendoff lmao
There another song in 2000 series named"Waraeru 2000"(わら得る2000), I think the audio of that song was way scarier than Jobutsu 2000. The lyrics in Waraeru 2000 is a person saying let's end everything, then laughing like a maniac and calling for help.
I would like to hear the story of that song, since I haven't see anyone explaining the story of it
Looked that song up and _damn_ , I'm not gonna sleep well today
Yes! Last I had checked a few months ago, there really wasn't any english language commentary or translations or resources for Waraeru 2000.
I didn't know any of these details before reading the comments here- but with the song's sound, it makes LOTS of sense.
I agree! "わら得る2000"may just be the most unsettling one, plus the most overlooked one.
Here. I translated the lyrics of “Waraeru 2000” into English. Interpret them as you will. 😳I envisioned a guy losing his mind from overwork and pressure or something like that and he’s about to jump off something high before he gets scared and maniacally dials up his boss still in his fit of crazed drunken laughter desperate for some relief from the pressure.
「Able To Laugh 2000」
Well then, let’s end everything and everything right here.
Let’s try to fly.
Ahhh….
Let’s no longer look back anymore.
Merely stealthily, merely laughing is just fine.
Hahaha. Hahaha. Haa.

Okay.
@@hanthonyc Hi! ☺️I translated the lyrics to 「Waraeru 2000」 as a reply to the original poster so I hope you enjoy them. While I found the way the song sounds to be very creepy and really gives off that unhinged vibe, the lyrics themselves seem surprisingly ambiguous. Let me what you think the story behind them could be.
apparently, at the time of creating this song, linda ai-que was rather depressed i believe, and so with his sorrow he made this song... not really sure if that is true though
and also, im a bit surprised you didnt cover the rather obvious loud "bang" before the 37564 string.
fans have been saying it could be related to a few things, related to death
(train, followed by train whistle)
(shutting doors on incinerator etc.) which is really sad to think about
very dark song, but good video! :)
yep, i wasn't sure if i wanted to include interpretations of that loud bang in the video, but in hindsight i think it would've been super interesting to discuss. thank you!
Or just a Gunshot.
Ooh, good point.
I imagined it as a gunshot
or the train whistle sound
I agree with the incinerator theory. However after the 33 long section near the end, there is a bang, which I presume is the closing of said incinerator, however the bang (to me at least) doesn't sound like a gunshot but more like the banging of two metal pieces, presumably a door of some kind. The happy music would probably symbolize how the man has reached a state of peace, or has finally reached heaven. A happy end after all the difficulty in his life, could also be symbolized by the song's difficulty.
some people said that bang sound comes from a person who jumps towards the train (the part of the long note is the sound of the train)
@@theunnamedjpg reddit analogy says someone burns down house, owner of the house gets revenge, then sits on some train tracks after regretting killing the people who burnt down the house
the wonders of the internet
The original 2000 tracks feel like a joke at the expense of the international fanbase -- their chaotic, dark style makes it feel like their lyrics are speaking to some hidden evil -- but in fact, it's just nonsense interspersed with random facts about Japanese geography. I didn't even know about the later ones that actually have like, coherent parables to them.
Probably one of the most interesting series of boss songs in rhythm games, honestly. Thanks for the rundown!
People just love running their imaginations and overexplaning things
It's a coping mechanism to help explain the unexplainable (like how learning the lore of a horror game makes it less scary)
In the end I wanna believe it was all the artists mixing and mashing the most random stuff they can think off to make a banger (yet slightly unsettling) beat and have fun
Cause by the end of the day, they're just making music for a kid friendly rhythm game
couple o things to mention, at 9:00 I wrote the script in a really weird way. yes, there *are* quiet drums for the notes to go to. what I meant to refer to was the note color changes not making any sense from a charting standpoint. (ka/blue notes would normally go to higher pitch, don/red notes go to lower pitch blah blah). hopefully that clears it up a little!
another thing i'd like to mention that I didn't put in the video was the loud crash at 8:06. the theory about it being either a train or the doors to the incinerator slamming shut are really interesting topics that add another layer to it that I wish i'd put in the video. thank you cool peeps who've pointed it out in the comments! (personally I think it's the incinerator door but bleh)
nice video!
I taught that the fast notes at the end was the scream of the victim
I think it’s the incinerator door slamming shut, and the train like sound is supposed to represent smoke coming from the incinerator.
4 in french is not quattre but quatre.Just saying.
@@jorys56lebest31 yeah, I know a bit of French (thank you school) and quattre is just... quatre.
I am Japanese. As someone who has been playing this game for a long time, I am very happy that the recognition of this game is gradually increasing overseas.
When I first played this in the arcade i I initially thought it was about some childhood friends talking and it was just the playback of their memories together, with the middle being about hardship and clashes in their friendship. I didn’t know much Japanese (or any French) at that time so I couldn’t tell what they were saying. I’m surprised it goes into such dark subject matter, because I mostly only focused on this songs crazy amount of notes and hard patterns.
Good video tzechi, da don
Да, это тим.
The lyrics for Joubutsu 2000 has two meanings, I think. One is, well, what was discussed in this video, and the other is that Joubutsu 2000 was apparently supposed to be the very last 2000 song to be released. Hence why the lyrics use the term "we" and not "I", "we" referring to the team LindaAI-CUE was working with. So the lines, "When we should put an end to things is up to us to decide, we have to be strong," "But most of the time, that is not dictated by us, that is told to us," and "we've given everything we've got," make a little more sense now.
Also, I'd kinda like to argue that Waraeru 2000 might be a darker song to be honest. I mean, the lyrics are pretty messed up, if you could really even call them lyrics. I can't really tell what the theme for Waraeru 2000 is, whether it's a work related one like Yokuderu and Kechadon, or a school themed one, where the protagonist is getting bullied to the point he gets completely traumatized. This is seen in some lines of the song where the protagonist says, "Excuse me! Can you help me!", this shows that the guy might be calling for help or trying to find someone that he can trust to help him with his situation. But whatever the theme may be, the main character in the song is constantly hallucinating, believing he's being chased by someone, or something, even questioning himself sometimes. In fact, the song starts out with the guy ready to unalive himself, saying things like, "let's put an end to everything," and "let's stop looking back." The whole song is like this, where the main character goes back and forth between killing himself or not. All up until who I assume to be his boss or teacher calls him to "come back tomorrow," and to "take the day off."
"TLDR", Waraeru 2000 is a darker song than Joubutsu because of it's theme of suicide, hallucinations, and has a main protagonist who either has been extremely traumatized by bullying or extremely stressed out by his job to the point he wants to kill himself.
4:18 the creepiest part about it is that they were in FRENCH out of all languages
idk french but I don't get what you mean by "creepy"
@@DedegikoGouku its french, from the country france, which contains frenchmen. whats scarier than that?
fr*nch
@@DedegikoGouku bro do you not know about the underground bone roads /j
@@wvvj_animates what is that
Well Japanese internet culture really love bright songs with creepy lyrics
to be honest there are like 30 songs in taiko that have creepy themes you can analyze (latter half of the 2000 series bumps that number up quite a bit) but joubutsu's implications are really on a league of their own
I wouldn't be suprised if it really was intended to be the last 2000 song but the series continued due to its success or popularity afterwards. That's basically the story behind max. (Period) in ddr. It was meant to be the last but they still made max 360 later because it was such a popular series of songs
Max Period was apparently made to be the last song in the series altogether.
Or, at the very least, mark the start of a lengthy hiatus.
Also, Max 360?
Fascination Maxx was waiting for us when the series came back with Supernova, as well as Max 300 Super Max Me Mix.
As a Japanese who has been playing Taiko no tatsujin since 2016, I can say that the lore you are talking about regarding this song is definitely correct.
I also hope that you actually play every Taiko console game ever released in Japan(or in the US) to trace the history of it lol
Gee it sure would be nice if these arcade machines were released anywhere outside of japan and i guess Brazil
@@itryen7632 it's actually released on multiple countries in asia, like singapore, malaysia, and even indonesia. it's just europe and na being hesitant to import japanese arcade to their countries
the 2000 series of songs is definitely one of my favorite parts of taiko, with joubutsu 2000 being my favorite in the whole series! the poem in the middle, although dark, brings me a lot of comfort and so i can look past the rest of the creepy parts of the song just for it (although the creepy and tragic aspect of the song is also a huge reason why i love it so much).
i had read the taiko time article for joubutsu 2000 before, and it also mentioned the "fire/incinerator crackling" in the background at the end. it wasn't until you pointed out what exactly that meant that i knew what the "crackling" was. i personally think it is the crackling of a vinyl record, because i interpret joubutsu 2000 to be the last thoughts of an old person before they die. the crackling is the vinyl record they're listening to (kinda like how it is at the very end of stage 6 in everywhere at the end of time), and the bang at the end is the sound of the door closing right as they finally pass away (or maybe a metaphor for a door closing to represent how their life has come to an end).
although there are other creepy 2000 songs in content, the second most creepy 2000 song to me is definitely donkama just by the way it sounds. something about the manic drums, the metronome, the random vocals, and the loud "AH AH AH AH AH" sound in the background the whole time really creeps me out (although it creeps me out less than it did when i first heard it because now i know that its origin is essentially just linda ai-cue messing around with a drum machine). suuhaa 2000 also creeps me out a little only because it sounds cult-ish. i dont actually know what the song is about, but i have always imagined it as either a cult or a just a group of people chanting/singing in the woods while a monster/demon (the random cut ins of weird music that interrupt the main vocals) is around them.
anyway, i love the 2000 series because so much of it can be up to your imagination and interpretation. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
One pretty neat detail I think you may have missed was how an FC of this song is a combo of 999. This could potentially represent the subject of the song not quite accomplishing everything they wanted to, and stopping short of 1000.

てんぢく or てんじく(天竺) is the old word for "India". Also has "foreign, imported" and "ultra-spicy, extra-hot" meanings.
And here I thought taiko was just a fun, simple rhythm game about cute little taiko drums.
BOY WAS I WRONG
through my 21 years of being alive only 13 years of experience tho iv come to a conclusion that literaly nothing... and I mean NOTHING is ever just " cute little silly dudes being funny game "
everything ends up having some dark or disturbing or wrong in it in one way or another and iv long accepted and don't get surprised when people mention . " ah yes this super cute game has a song with lyrics about killing yourself (or worse) " ... and I'd reccomend that u accept this as well it makes u see everything from another perspective .
at this point I'd be shocked if there actually ends up being some that us 100% pure and innocent out there . cuz that would be very out of the ordinary and suspicious .
same could be said about project sekai
And I thought it was a workshop thing so you could share songs and compete with one another
BOY WAS I EVEN MORE WRONG
No it very much is lmao
@@callmezeldaonemoartime Being wholesome or a workshop game?

Really interesting too considering Ryukishi also used this kind of wordplay with 123 and 34.
@@FriedFrenchFries Not particularly, actually. This form of wordplay is actually really common in Japan, and even has a name: Goroawase (語呂合わせ). Part of the reason its so common is its often used as a mnemonic device to help memorize various types of numbers, so many Japanese people are already familiar with it in their daily lives. More likely than not there's no association at all.

Great video dude! Ah last2000, such a creepy song yet melancholic. My fave 2000s song is Suuhaa 2000 and what I interpret is that while you do the breathing exercises, you meditate a bit and reflect your past self's action causing you you to cringe a bit remembering the silly or embarrassing things you did showcasing the sudden jumpscare notes. Then the cluttering notes on the middle of the songs forces you to try and sort your thoughts out until the end of the song. Idk, I like the spa like atmosphere i get from this song
what is a jumpscare note
@@coolwolfygamer452_epic notes that suddenly rushes in great speed, you see them mostly like on Donkama 2000
I think the last 30 second burst without the drums is supposed to symbolize the person finally dying and their soul moving to heaven
As a Japanese who has been playing "Taiko no Tatsujin" for six years, "Joubutsu 2000" scares me more with the flowing notes than with the music.

↑f*ck
Would you care to elaborate? I do see the two fours, but is there something I'm missing? 🤔
what does that mean lol
thank you for putting the name there i forgot it and i was looking (no, seriously, i am not joking)
You know what the last part reminded me of?
The suspense in that.. whatever you call the note where you hit a gazillion times. then a double note *BANG* and... the 37564 sounds like a train horn to me
Bro really done jumped on the train track god damn
This isn't dark. This is scary. And I love it.
Yes
I strongly disagree you just didn’t read the comments
Also note the last notes create a flatline-type Sound. The song is about an individual dying of starvation and thinking he is going to heaven, but you hear flames crackling, which you probably know what that means
And I thought we're going in with some Vocaloid songs that got into the song library (Lost One Weeping is one of those)...
Great job giving me a reason of nightmares tonight!
had a dream of this title where i was playing taiko and put on a random pop hatsune song called “joy” it started generic then it just went silent until the sound of a door opening, a red drum popped up on the screen and i didn’t hit it
a man sounded like he came through the door and his wife yelled at him, after a while of yelling a screen of red drums popped up and I hit them all, and all i heard around me was thuds, that sounded like foot steps and i felt through the bottom of my spine, i climbed under the couch and woke up
excellent video! i had absolutely no idea this existed but i find it fascinating. thanks for enlightening me!
Thanks for this. This is very interesting and i never knew that much about taiko no tatsujin. Take care tzechi 👍
I really feel like there is a reference to WW2 with the French voice (WW2 mostly French versus German) saying "I'm hungry!" like the Jews who were previously interned and very malnourished , the military drum that can be heard towards the end, some loud noises that could also be considered as a gunshot or explosions, the incinerator which recalls the deportees who were burned or the train which surely refers transportation of Jews to concentration camps. Anyway, this video is very interesting! I had some information on it but I didn't understand at all what this song was explaining.. Thanks again for this video!
(I’m French,sorry if the sentences are not very understandable..)
I apologize if this comes out rude in any way (with such serious subjects, it's really difficult to find proper wording), but considering the amount of French Jews transported was around 75,000 compared to nearly 3,000,000 of Polish Jews, I don't exactly see why someone would think of France
海外の人は楽しそうにプレイしてるイメージしかなかったからこういう動画珍しい
That's what happens if you don't translate your goddamn games and release them outside of japan
@@itryen7632yeah like people overseas all know each other like that 🙄
2000 series may be dark but it's very challenging especially donkama 2000!
Oh my, I always learn something new about this game. Playing it already for over 12 years, and I really didn't know about this! Very nice video. Keep it up.
Love ur maps
@@user-so5zf4js9v oh, I feel honored!
The ending sounds like someone getting hit by a train followed by a train whistle (or maybe the sound of a train going by fast), kinda eerie that my mind went there but for some reason I hear that.
Excellent video on probably my favourite 2000 song! Other videos on other 2000 songs would be really cool
こうやって海外の人に広まってくれるの嬉しすぎだろ‼
Bonjour
i was happy to see taiko time mentioned! they've been around for so long and the people that run it are extremely dedicated :)
I never played Taiko no Tatsujin in my Life and initially clicked on this video as the title interested me. Now the song still haunts me 'til this day and makes me think of dark times in my life that I won't specify 'cause it would be pretty heavy for a lot of people.
wow thats insane! this gives me all more reason to love this song even more
Same. The flute sounds so good. I think the music is controlling me lol.
Gotta love randomly finding maplestory music as the brackground track lol
Great video! It was an extremely fun watch.
Pretty straightforward video I love taiko no tatsujin!
why am i actually unsettled by this, lord
This is far from the scariest thing I've seen but MAN I shouldn't have watched it before bed, just creeper me right out!
@@AdvancePlays yeah same, was not fun to sleep that day :')
This made me look at this taiko chart so much differently. Why did you have to make me have anxiety every second of every day
Don chan jumpscare
Dude wtf you made me piss my pants
Mad Respec for all the translating and editing
Brings a whole new meaning to the 2000s being pain.
0:08 the little dance tho-
I do want to point out that the final drumroll does actually line up with the song- there is a very rapidly hit symbol under the main instrument, that mightve been a little hard to hear
The real question is : Why ? I think the most terrifying things are the ones who you don't know why they just exist, and why in here. In that case, Taiko No Tatsujin.
I needed these information. Im glad someone did this.
1:52
just a bop
That loud drum beat before the 33 note-long beat at the end is also very loud. Almost like… a gunshot…
Who else heard a gunshot sound at 8:05
Me
Damn
Might just be a coincidence, but the fact that the total notes in this song is 999, which is 666 upside down might have something to do with this song's dark meaning
999 is an unlucky number in japan
Which makes a bit more sense
@@fivepainbbles But 666 is a lucky one, IIRC.
@@cobaltcosmos7408 exactly, since 999 is unlucky, 999 upside down, 666, is lucky
There was also another theory about this song that Linda himself composed this song while he was in a depressed state, and had a few suicidal thoughts. He quickly recovered right after.
Him: this is the most friendly and safe game!
Rythem heaven fever:👁👄👁
you will *NEVER* know why remix 8 in the ds version is so fast
6:13 天竺 is the ancient name for India, mostly associated with Buddhism, e.g. a Chinese monk Xuanzang 玄奘 was (Asia) famous for setting off his pilgrimage to India (天竺) to study the doctrine and recite them back in China. His story was later fantasized into the fiction "Journey to the West".
Taiko No Darksujin
I honestly thought this was going to be about mopemope from the rhythm festival entry Xd that scared me when I first played through it because I didn't expect all the distortion-
Taiko no Tatsujin is kid-friendly: shows Aleph-0 Oni chart.
and i thought the vocaloid song selections were dark 🤯
3:11 who need lyrics when you’re alredy french lol
Ekiben2000 is the direct prequel to the subject song. You can tell because he missed getting lunch, which is why he's hungry.
5:34 "sans"
Bruh
@@PRO_BEDWARSPLAYER93 sans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Without"
@@SlyHikari03 i know what it means, i just found it funny
as soon as i saw the thumbnail i knew the song you were talking about
part two on more 2000 dark lore (taberuna, soroban, etc)?
maybe! 2000 series has always fascinated me so id love to make one
I can give a critique about the technical side of the video production, an issue I've run into myself in the past.
The fact that every taiko gameplay footage is very often blurred between individual frames - When I was working with Sony Vegas 14, what caused this was a "Resample" switch that seemed enabled by default for each video layer. Don't know if it's this simple if you're using a different piece of software, but finding it in a dropdown menu (right clicking the video layer on the timeline > Switches) and disabling it fixes the blurring frames issue.
I've only played taiko no tatsujin once at arcade, but something tells me that this game was made for me... First of all, I love Namco. They have managed to make amazing games, pioneer every genre, and take on every challenge they face. Also, my family is really into drumming. Im a fan of rhythm games like guitar hero and In the groove.
海外でこんなしっかり紹介されるくらい太鼓の達人がグローバル化しているって実感してなんか感動する
Amazing!
Okay but this sounds really nice
As someone who speaks both Chinese and French this song freaked me out badly, like it was talking particularly to me due to the strange combination of languages
i thought this was going to be a funny video for some reason, so I gotta say this is pretty interesting
I remember Joubutsu 2000. At the time it was easily the hardest song in the series and it took me many, many tries to pass. It also happened to be very omnious with its whole 37564 theme. Yeah, definitely a memorable entry for sure.
I think you should make a video about “taberuna 2000” it’s about a man who gets back from work,and starts eating for hours straight,then he has a heart attack
(There are also screams in the song,implying he ate pepole,or his heart and stomach pleasjng for him to stop eating) and then he dies.of a heart attack,spooky!
0:16 is *the funney*
I think this song is interesting, and everything they implemented in it was very clever, especially the part about the burst of beats at the end
Very weird that it’s in Taiko, though. Sometimes I wonder what people think when they put things like this in a generally for kids game
(Not trying to be rude about it, it’s just a thought I have and I am genuinely interested in why sometimes darker things are implemented in games that have a younger target audience)
such a great vids
this is the only taiko song I've ever listened to, it's nice seeing people talk about it
love the "2000" series man
When the lyrics are spooky, but the beat is fire.....
Aye man, Idk shit about this series. Dare I say this is my first vid, but it was so well put together I'm actually interested in it. Solid work. 👌
Banger tbh
Who remembers the song SHOUNIN YOK-Q which is about a girl that feels she isn’t good enough and isn’t pretty enough and hears voices in her head.
I thought the drums were hard candies when I selected one as my driver on the Mario Kart arcade machine I was playing while on a work-related trip out of town a while back. It definitely made me smile though simply due to how happy it looked, just sayin’. 😄
Thanks for the profile picture dude, appreciate it ;)
oh no le don ch
The fact that UA-cam recommended this to me is terrifying because it now means that, somehow, Google knows I love Taiko despite not watching a YT video on it until now, and also, that this was the video it chose to show, knowing that information. It was nice knowing you, I think I'm in danger now.
