I'm pretty sure I've heard songs like this in my dreams multiple times. Probably because it's deep-rooted into my childhood. Definitely making my kid watch this movie to increase his creativity 😂
also, have you noticed the amount of gender and age related tension in Paprika? It underlies the ENTIRE dream sequences and most of the film. Like some kind of Japanese Freudian fever dream.
There's something about the madness of modern culture that can consume the mind like it did Don Quixote. What's most appalling is that so many of the characters in Paprika are so easily seduced by this madness and willingly delude themselves, carelessly riding it toward their destruction. I'd always thought of this as Chris-Chan's theme (if you know who that is) but it's a danger that isn't just reserved for otakus, is it...
Excellent allegory! It does feel like that. Enthralling, exciting, addictive, terrifying! The feeling of being lost and overwhelmed with spectacle! That's basically _Paprika._ Sorry for my English.
Actually it is partly reversed lyrics from his Nurse Cafe (Switched on Lotus version). "Ieie no mado wo yaburi " so somehting like "iruba yo wodamo neiei". So it's about breaking the windows of houses but in reverse, so maybe unbreaking the windows?
One of the few films that actually _gets dreams right_ and gives that strange orthogonal dimension of experience compactified inside the human mind the respect & awe that it's owed.
"If you look at a dream overall, it's very difficult to discern the meaning. However, as time goes on, there might be certain meanings in the background. Movies that you can watch once and understand entirely -- that is the type of movie that I don't really like. However, if you are able to understand 70 to 80 percent of what's being relayed, and there's still some percentage left that would allow for your own interpretation . . . that's the type of movie that I do like. There might be a certain part that you don't quite understand, but there is a portion that rests in your heart." Satoshi Kon

This song has been deleted from Spotify. Please, bring back this masterpiece. Every time I listen to this song, I remember the good old days when I enjoyed reading the Berserk manga.
Hey, so my response is a little late. Anyways, I checked out the song you said and there is a definitely some similarities between the two; the most obvious one being the use of a vocoder with rapid, short syllabus to make a melody. However, in terms of genre they are drastically different(mainly due to the difference in timbre between the background instrumentals of the two). My guess is that OMFG was inspired by Hirasawa. I am, however, against calling inspiration a "rip off." That being said Parade is way better than Hello, in my opinion.
Well this song is obviously inspired from "Golden Brown", the Stranglers,. The vocal accompagnement is a copy pasta from the instrumental of "Golden Brown". Not that I mind, I like this song a lot.
I feel more of a bleak happiness. A brief spot of light in an otherwise terrible situation, as if you managed to pay off half of a debt that once seemed insurmountable.

The sad messages in the chaotic words hit so deep for me. Thank you for taking the time to write this out. Only a native filmmaker would have been able to critique his culture in this way and likely did so out of anger covering a broken heart.
This song perfectly describes the state of overthinking things, the chaos in your head with the inevitable despair that comes with it. It's when your mind literally feels like a carnival
I love the beginning of this song. Paired with the picture, it reminds me of the little place and scenarios I imagined while seeing those default cartoony windows 7 wallpapers
I can't stop thinking, what is so different in Japan for people to be able to create this kind of movies, music, stories, so full of creativity, complexity, nostalgic beauty, and after all that remaining humble and serious. No wonder it's so fascinating for so many outsiders.
Kite I imagine it's moreso the industrialization and formulization of Hollywood, in which movies are made solely because of something like pop culture or a need for a sequel in order to make more money. That's not to say there aren't movies made in the West that can make you think, it's just that most are as you already said, not as popular or well funded/advertised. An example that comes to Mind is Transcendence. A movie featuring Johnny Depp no less, that seemed to be forgotten pretty quickly.
I had done a bit of research on that in differences between US and Western and Japanese media and creativity and a ton of it is actually mainly marketing and promotion. You’ll be surprised how many films in the US that feature out of this world strangeness and interestingly unique traits that no one will hear about because it isn’t publicized or promoted as much due to common values. Ask someone about Black Swan or Mr. Nobody and you’re not going to hear about many who heard about it. But the same can be said for Japan as well. A non-anime fan might not know about Paprika but many will. Creativity is there across the ocean, you just have to search for it.
I love this song so much. The song adds so much to the actual parade in the anime. It's chaotic and foreboding. It's intimidating in a creepy way. Like a parade, you can't ignore it. It fits so well to the mess the parade is and the overlapping dreams. Absolutely brilliant.
I love how the song describes in its lyrics, chords, and melody the insanity dreams may be, as well as over materialism. "Repeating the same thing expecting a different result" is this song's ode. I love how Hirasawa describes the insanity of dreams for _Paprika._
@@py_a_thon It is pretty interesting. The Japanese lyrics refer to concepts that do not go well together. Lyricstranslation does have a translation of it in English as well as other sites. It sounds and is absurd; it really makes the song interesting.
This song is delusion incarnate, it's the purest word I can put to it. In the movie and the song itself you can easily just join the parade, having fun, losing yourself, until you're no longer really there. "lost in a delusion." Paprika or "the girl in byakkoya" is a song of hope, it's oddly very similar to parade, or "delusion" in some ways but the whole tone is one that is more light hearted and directed in a way of happiness, not neglect. Paprika brought me out of a depression so great when it was lasting for 3-4 years, and it reminded me of who I was and where I wanted to go again. I highly recommend watching the movie. If I had one wish it would be to see Satoshi Kons works completed as he envisioned them. If I had one more it would be to see Yoshihiro Togashi's work completed as he envisioned it. I think they're very similar visions, but one focuses on how the purest of emotions and how thoughts gets misinterpreted in the world around them, while the other is more about bringing those pure emotions and dreams out so they can flourish in the world around them as they are.
This movie made me realize some major important things in my life I had completely forgotten, and I can't express how grateful I am. The soundtrack is like a dream, a really confusing and vague fever dream, that opens your eyes and reminds you of things you shouldn't had forgotten. This specific piece reminds me of the lowest time in my life, one I can barely remember, I forgot everything, and then this piece suddenly started playing. It is a very confusing feeling, but I'm grateful I've listened to it. edit 2+ years later.... the least i can say is that i wouldnt be at the same stage in my life if i had never watched this movie. sometimes i think that all that happened, happened for a reason, sometimes i think that ignorance is bliss. sometimes i wish i never remembered. however, maybe it all was for the best.
well there is one, might be one, Paprika is based on a book by Yasuka TsuiTsui. But yeah, a book how it makes YOU feel, that would be interesting. Have fun
This movie reminds me the scene in NieR: Automata where the player encounters robot parade in amusement park, and it's beautiful in a way that memories I do not have starts making me feel nostalgic. I want dreams like this where imagination is freed from its shackles
i could not for the life of me place why this song felt so familiar watching paprika until i saw this comment. it totally reminded me of that scene from nier
The first time I heard this song in the movie, it just dragged me along and I couldn't forget about it. Every time I watched "Paprika", I was waiting only for this song to come, I kept myself alert only to capture the very moment of the first instrument to play, and then started humming along. Man, this is seriously one of the best songs I ever heard in my life, even if I don't understand a single thing about the lyrics (as much as all the other music styles I listen to are pretty much like that).
This is chaotic, yet so entrancing. Gonna say it even competes with Chouwa Oto, maybe even better. The lyrics are so surreal, yet sorrowful. It gives the whole movie a different meaning.
Better translation Energy in the heart, chemical foam, I walk through a street of hired cars, old tyres, blood and meet This is liberty, a parody on utopia Gorgeous rows of trees [on the avenue of] buyers and Giga Movies, it’s a sunny day Minor depressions are pranks, rose colour is low priced, Therefore, rejoice - to the extent you can hardly bear Dying literacy - we kill it mechanically A street of traders, hanging wires and formaldehyde Drying synergy - we moisten it with synthetic sweetness In the mega-temple of skyscrapers a frenzy rain of funds falls I cannot write the word ‘ignorance’, but the future is low-priced Laugh that this is in general a superstition. A story of karma See, giving an off-smell, eating your shadow A parade of fear is coming, under your name An MC of roar - it’s a lethal dose for a civilian A street of the disabled, diamonds for sell and reason fallen into blood This is liberty, a parody on utopia What I ask for is SSRI. And now, hi-ho on the terrace of vogue Minor theories are nonsense, pleasure is low-priced On no account you should reflect, for it is too late See, giving an off-smell, eating your shadow A parade of fear is coming, under your name See, it can cover everything around, your shadow produces it - The parade of insanity is coming, under your name

Even without the scene for context, or a translation flashing accross the screen the song feels as if you are slowly descending into a joyful madness. "You'll be fine, just go with it."
I can’t explain it with this song because while it’s so joyous with the drums and everything, it’s also so nightmarish. Perhaps it’s because there’s so many things going on in the song itself you kind of lose thought about it and can’t keep up.
Since this song was made for the nightmarish scenes of the parade in Paprika, I'd say it's definitely intentional. Probably to represent Japan's (and to be honest, many societies) problems. A song to represent how we live day by day ignoring such problems, and if we don't deal with them, they will cause our downfall.
I was so confused when I saw this at a theater with a friend in 2006. I finally rewatched it and like it a lot more now. This song and the main theme song were so catchy. I have no idea what's being said but it's amazing.

Weird, I've never seen the movie, but this song actually gives me a creepy/uncomfortable vibe
Lyrics:
Foaming of energy chemicals on the chest
胸にエナジー ケミカルの泡立ち
Go through the streets of hire, old tires, blood and meat
ハイヤーや古タイヤや血や肉の通りを行き
That is a parody of Liberty Utopia
あれがリバティー ユートピアのパロディー
The gorgeous rows of hire and giga movies are sunny
ハイヤーやギガ・ムービーの絢爛の並木は晴れ
Minor depression is a joke, rosy is cheap
マイナーな欝は戯言 バラ色は廉価
It ’s so happy that I ca n’t carry it.
いわく幸せと知れ 持ちきれぬほど
Dying literacy mechanically kill
瀕死のリテラシー メカニカルに殺す
Streets of sellers, hanging wires and formaldehyde
売人や吊るワイヤーやホルムアルデヒドの通り
Wet with a dry synergy synthetic suite
乾くシナジー 合成スイートで湿し
Frenzy fund rain on a high-rise mega temple
高層のメガ神殿に狂乱のファンドの雨
I can't write the word "Menmai", but the future is cheap
「蒙昧」の文字は書けねど 未来は廉価
Superstition and laughter Causal story
なべて迷信と笑え 因果のストーリー
Come on, eat your shadow that gives off a strange odor
さあ 異臭を放ち来る キミの影を喰い
A horror parade is coming in your name
恐怖のパレードが来る キミの名の下に
Lethal dose to roaring MC Civilian
轟音のMC シビリアンには致死量
The streets of the crock, the diamonds to sell, and the blood
廃人や売るダイアや血に堕ちた道理の通り
That is a parody of Liberty Utopia
あれがリバティー ユートピアのパロディー
The request is SSRI Well, high ho on the trendy terrace
頼みはＳＳＲＩ さて流行のテラスでハイホー
Minor theory is shit and enjoyment is cheap
マイナーな説はたわごと 享楽は廉価
Don't try hard because it's too late
努々省みるな 手遅れゆえ
Come on, eat your shadow that gives off a strange odor
さあ 異臭を放ち来る キミの影を喰い
A horror parade is coming in your name
恐怖のパレードが来る キミの名の下に
The more you fill the ground, the more your shadow will be born
さあ 地を埋めつくすほど キミの影が産む
A crazy parade is coming in your name
狂気のパレードが来る キミの名の下に
So even in it's native language it makes no sense
@@thundergoblin2828for Japanese too
maybe,you have to think about them as"totally"get it?
蒙昧 is Moumai.Not Menmai
The sad messages in the chaotic words hit so deep for me. Thank you for taking the time to write this out. Only a native filmmaker would have been able to critique his culture in this way and likely did so out of anger covering a broken heart.
This song perfectly describes the state of overthinking things, the chaos in your head with the inevitable despair that comes with it. It's when your mind literally feels like a carnival
Thought is an excellent servant, yet a bad master.
Maybe it needs more...
...Paprika?
Ha, no
when my African spice can enter my dreams
im hungarian and we cannot exist without paprika :P
That made no fucking sense even for being in that movie. Use puns the right way
It already has the spice included "paprika".
How come you never get tired of this song?
I cant understand a single word but for some reason it gives me goosebumps and also i love the rythm
Hirasawa does that
" Utopiano Paroade!!! Turururu *something, something* Majo!!! "
Just know that, were you to know the lyrics, you would be terrified

I love the beginning of this song. Paired with the picture, it reminds me of the little place and scenarios I imagined while seeing those default cartoony windows 7 wallpapers
中毒性やばい...ついつい聞きに来ちゃう...
I can't stop thinking, what is so different in Japan for people to be able to create this kind of movies, music, stories, so full of creativity, complexity, nostalgic beauty, and after all that remaining humble and serious. No wonder it's so fascinating for so many outsiders.
I have to assume that the west is more harsh on "strangeness," but it's probably more complicated than that.
Kite I imagine it's moreso the industrialization and formulization of Hollywood, in which movies are made solely because of something like pop culture or a need for a sequel in order to make more money. That's not to say there aren't movies made in the West that can make you think, it's just that most are as you already said, not as popular or well funded/advertised. An example that comes to Mind is Transcendence. A movie featuring Johnny Depp no less, that seemed to be forgotten pretty quickly.
what's so different in japan? maybe getting nuked... twice? 🤔
I had done a bit of research on that in differences between US and Western and Japanese media and creativity and a ton of it is actually mainly marketing and promotion. You’ll be surprised how many films in the US that feature out of this world strangeness and interestingly unique traits that no one will hear about because it isn’t publicized or promoted as much due to common values. Ask someone about Black Swan or Mr. Nobody and you’re not going to hear about many who heard about it. But the same can be said for Japan as well. A non-anime fan might not know about Paprika but many will. Creativity is there across the ocean, you just have to search for it.

I love this song so much. The song adds so much to the actual parade in the anime.
It's chaotic and foreboding. It's intimidating in a creepy way. Like a parade, you can't ignore it.
It fits so well to the mess the parade is and the overlapping dreams.
Absolutely brilliant.

I love how the song describes in its lyrics, chords, and melody the insanity dreams may be, as well as over materialism. "Repeating the same thing expecting a different result" is this song's ode. I love how Hirasawa describes the insanity of dreams for _Paprika._
I dont actually know the lyrics translation. I always just saw it as an ode to absurdity. The parade of the absurd.
@@py_a_thon It is pretty interesting. The Japanese lyrics refer to concepts that do not go well together.
Lyricstranslation does have a translation of it in English as well as other sites. It sounds and is absurd; it really makes the song interesting.
@@koltersands So contrast and dichotomy? That would make sense, in absurdity lol.
宝塚の星組さんのショーで使用されているのをキッカケに曲に魅せられパプリカも見ました。ショーも最高でしたが、音楽も映画も最高すぎました
This is a masterpiece of what sound of randomness with instruments can create a tone that's strangely pleasent to hear.
This song is delusion incarnate, it's the purest word I can put to it.
In the movie and the song itself you can easily just join the parade, having fun, losing yourself, until you're no longer really there.
"lost in a delusion."
Paprika or "the girl in byakkoya" is a song of hope, it's oddly very similar to parade, or "delusion" in some ways but the whole tone is one that is more light hearted and directed in a way of happiness, not neglect.
Paprika brought me out of a depression so great when it was lasting for 3-4 years, and it reminded me of who I was and where I wanted to go again. I highly recommend watching the movie.
If I had one wish it would be to see Satoshi Kons works completed as he envisioned them.
If I had one more it would be to see Yoshihiro Togashi's work completed as he envisioned it.
I think they're very similar visions, but one focuses on how the purest of emotions and how thoughts gets misinterpreted in the world around them, while the other is more about bringing those pure emotions and dreams out so they can flourish in the world around them as they are.
Loved it . The moment you realise same guy created berserk guts theme

im here every week bc it keeps popping up in my recommended list on the side and I can never say no EVER
This movie made me realize some major important things in my life I had completely forgotten, and I can't express how grateful I am. The soundtrack is like a dream, a really confusing and vague fever dream, that opens your eyes and reminds you of things you shouldn't had forgotten. This specific piece reminds me of the lowest time in my life, one I can barely remember, I forgot everything, and then this piece suddenly started playing. It is a very confusing feeling, but I'm grateful I've listened to it.
edit 2+ years later.... the least i can say is that i wouldnt be at the same stage in my life if i had never watched this movie. sometimes i think that all that happened, happened for a reason, sometimes i think that ignorance is bliss. sometimes i wish i never remembered. however, maybe it all was for the best.

I want to write a book that makes people feel the way this song makes me feel.
Go for it ! All you have to do is write (well..that's the hardest part actually)
if you do write it one day I'll be glad to read it ! :)
I’d be reading that book whatever the format is ( manga, novel, graphic novel, audio book ) I’d be buying 4-5
well there is one, might be one, Paprika is based on a book by Yasuka TsuiTsui.
But yeah, a book how it makes YOU feel, that would be interesting. Have fun

This movie reminds me the scene in NieR: Automata where the player encounters robot parade in amusement park, and it's beautiful in a way that memories I do not have starts making me feel nostalgic. I want dreams like this where imagination is freed from its shackles
I was thinking the same thing when I saw them
the whole amusement park section felt so surreal
So it's a girl trapped in a dream world?
i could not for the life of me place why this song felt so familiar watching paprika until i saw this comment. it totally reminded me of that scene from nier
It's amazing how everytime I listen to Hirasawa's music, even if I didn't know it's him I recognise it. It's really unique and powerful.
Oh, finally the recommended section gives me something familiar.
Crazy
Nice
Yes
The first time I heard this song in the movie, it just dragged me along and I couldn't forget about it. Every time I watched "Paprika", I was waiting only for this song to come, I kept myself alert only to capture the very moment of the first instrument to play, and then started humming along. Man, this is seriously one of the best songs I ever heard in my life, even if I don't understand a single thing about the lyrics (as much as all the other music styles I listen to are pretty much like that).
I love how this song is so detachedly bizarre, but it still succeeds in being gorgeous.
HAIIIII YAY FORCEEEEEEES. Oh wait wrong song

*puts on grasses*
next time put your grasses on man
Laughing my ass off.
It's from 1997 Berserk. The song name is Forces. The "Haii Yay Forceeees" part is the song chorus. Similar feeling, same composer.
定期的に聴きに来てしまう
This is chaotic, yet so entrancing. Gonna say it even competes with Chouwa Oto, maybe even better. The lyrics are so surreal, yet sorrowful. It gives the whole movie a different meaning.
if i had a stroke, anxiety attack, and dropped acid all at once i think it would be this. but i can't stop listening??
Preach!
This is perfect 😂😂😂
パプリカを見て、しばらくこの曲とそこで流れてる映像が忘れられなかった また思い出して聞きに来たけど、やっぱこの独特な世界観が良い！ 歌詞も、1個ずつの単語は何となく分かるけど繋げると訳分からんのが良い
Better translation
Energy in the heart, chemical foam,
I walk through a street of hired cars, old tyres, blood and meet
This is liberty, a parody on utopia
Gorgeous rows of trees [on the avenue of] buyers and Giga Movies, it’s a sunny day
Minor depressions are pranks, rose colour is low priced,
Therefore, rejoice - to the extent you can hardly bear
Dying literacy - we kill it mechanically
A street of traders, hanging wires and formaldehyde
Drying synergy - we moisten it with synthetic sweetness
In the mega-temple of skyscrapers a frenzy rain of funds falls
I cannot write the word ‘ignorance’, but the future is low-priced
Laugh that this is in general a superstition. A story of karma
See, giving an off-smell, eating your shadow
A parade of fear is coming, under your name
An MC of roar - it’s a lethal dose for a civilian
A street of the disabled, diamonds for sell and reason fallen into blood
This is liberty, a parody on utopia
What I ask for is SSRI. And now, hi-ho on the terrace of vogue
Minor theories are nonsense, pleasure is low-priced
On no account you should reflect, for it is too late
See, giving an off-smell, eating your shadow
A parade of fear is coming, under your name
See, it can cover everything around, your shadow produces it -
The parade of insanity is coming, under your name
Parts of the other translation are better. La Vie en rose is a saying with specific meaning.

なぜにヘボン式
Even without the scene for context, or a translation flashing accross the screen the song feels as if you are slowly descending into a joyful madness. "You'll be fine, just go with it."
I can’t explain it with this song because while it’s so joyous with the drums and everything, it’s also so nightmarish. Perhaps it’s because there’s so many things going on in the song itself you kind of lose thought about it and can’t keep up.
Since this song was made for the nightmarish scenes of the parade in Paprika, I'd say it's definitely intentional.
Probably to represent Japan's (and to be honest, many societies) problems. A song to represent how we live day by day ignoring such problems, and if we don't deal with them, they will cause our downfall.
it was a song which played in the parade of dreams
狂ってる（褒め言葉）。

I always get excited when I hear this song. It feels like something fabulous, kind and gracious. Or in one word: dreamy
why after 11 years this still such a banger?
I was so confused when I saw this at a theater with a friend in 2006. I finally rewatched it and like it a lot more now. This song and the main theme song were so catchy. I have no idea what's being said but it's amazing.
