It's weird thinking that not only was this originally a Miku song, but that the Gakupo version is the more popular version. (Listening to them side by side, I can see why the Gakupo one is more popular though... the style of the song fits his voice better.)
mardalfossen The vocals were not originally Gakupo. It was the PV. Miku's ver has a MMD PV, and it was supposed to be Gakupo model instead of Miku but the vocals were still her, but for some reason Gakupo model had some problems and they still Miku.
So basically Gakupo is a demon who loves this girl and wants to marry her but the sister finds out and gambles with him, if she wins, she gets her sister back, if he wins, he takes them both. The sister loses and the demon takes them both to his world, he begins to do something with them (I dunno) but they attack him and run away.
I think it's that, but without the sister and attacking in the equation. He fell in love with a girl, wanted her, but he's a weirdo demon so he gambled with her (Demon's gotta eat too). If he won, he got her heart. She lost, of course, but he felt so bad for taking her heart (it made her an emotionless husk) that he gave it back which resulted in him starving to death
i think i definitely prefer gakupos version since it makes the scenario seem more dangerous and threatening instead of mikus rinky dink game. also it just sounds better you know
I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard a while ago that the intended singer of Joker was Gakupo, but the producer was unable to get him to work right so they had to use Miku instead.
Crimilly Gakupo: I don't wanna do it. Producer: Why not? Gakupo: I'm just not feeling it today. Producer: But who's gonna sing this? The deadline is coming up soon! Miku: I'll do it! Producer: Are you sure? It isn't exactly your usual style... Miku: Mhm! I can do it! Is that okay, Gakupo-san? Gakupo: Sure. If they still want my version, I might do it later. Miku: Okay! Let's do this! Producer: Okay, then...Let's do it! Gakupo: Have fun! *takes a nap*
"What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him...and treats him like trash? You get what you fucking deserve!" -Gakupo
+Cheshire Cat at least you aren't often tricked into thinking Gackt put out a new song when the tuning is really good. I ran across gakupo before i even knew what vocaloids were and was just blown away that this other guy sounded so much like gackt.
The original version features Miku, while a popular parallel version by Camui Gackpo was uploaded several months later; both videos have since been removed from Niconico. Five other official versions of the song were uploaded between 2008 and 2011. All of these as well have been removed from Niconico. I like Gakupo's version better lol
I contemplated a lot about the meaning behind the song, and ran to a few possibilities. I'll comment on what I think is the song is about. I assume the song is about a sociopath who lives in his own world and treats the girl he lures with his charm as " cards" in a "game" which is the situation. The females he is probably kidnapping are depressed females who are attracted to his compassion and sympathy. I'll be using a few lyrics as why I think this is the most likely meaning. " Shall we begin? It's showtime" This is his way of mentioning how he charms the females. " How does a game sound ?" He assumes as a girl gets closer to him, they are giving him a consent." Please allow me some of your time" Meaning to let him into your world. " Compassion is useless affection, you want a favor from me, penalties are inevitable" He acts as sympathetic and compassionate toward them, mentioning how compassion is a simple way of getting the " cards" The " favor" here is probably a metaphor on how the females want him to make them better . The " penalty" from my assumption is a metaphor of how it's his way of punishing them for their " performance " in his game." Pleasant circumstances have risen" The circumstance is his way of mentioning that there is a " card" he can obtain.I'm not exactly sure about his " game" but I assume he was betrayed by his past lover who he considers played him like a " card" to gain an affection of a another male. So, heartbroken he now considers any female who wants his attention as to people who want to use him so before they use him, he charms them and uses them as " cards" I assume after collecting a " suit" of cards. Which means women he collects and assigns them to spades, diamonds, clubs.. etc he will make them compete over the others females and the girl who wins will be allowed to join him ( the other women would be murdered upon losing the " game" )and they would continue to hunt down women and make the whole process repeat again, the girl who is the victor of one of his " games " would probably be murdered after the new " victor" , the new female would replace the old one and the whole process would probably continue.So how does it sound?
This is actually the official Gakupo cover, for some reason ∀studios has released 7 different versions of the song, but then deletes them after a few weeks/months. -Joker (Miku) -rekoJ (Miku) -Joker (Gakupo) -Joker (∀studio's cover) -Joker~the new encounter~ (Luka, Miku) -Joker 2nd Edition (Miku) -Joker 3rd Anniversary Ver. (Miku, Rin, Luka, Gakupo) The Backwards version doesn't even exist anymore, because nobody downloaded that version before it got deleted.
I feel as if this song is maybe about some guy who stalk people and possibly kidnaps them and he fell in love with one of his targets but in a demented way because he's stalking them or something and they don't love him back or something of that sort...I don't really know.....
It's not a computer music group. Vocaloid is a program that allows you to make songs with an artificial voice which uses samplings from real voices. Gackupo for example use the voice of Gackt, a famous japanese singer. Anyone can buy the program and make songs using their favorite vocaloid~
... öhmm joker is only in the manga, right? And what does it has to do with this song? ...only because of the word joker? I can understand you, I also love Kuroshitsuji, but how did you came to it?!
Thank you for crediting back to me for the translation! ^_^ I love it when people respect the original translator. And sorry to say, but taikwonderful didn't do that other translation. He/she used the lyrics by a translator called Rena from one of the original Miku videos. For those commenting, my translation is accurate. I tried to do it free but still faithful to the original Japanese. Rena's translation is interesting, but built more on rhymes than anything else. Not actual literal meaning.
Yes, after watching a video about how Hisoka was before up to what he's doing now. This also has Hisoka vibes. At first I thought of batman when watching the video and the name. But Hisoka is also another one that gives off.
This is the first gakupo song i heard, before i heard it i was like "whats with the gakupo fangirls?" Now im like " ohhh its his voiceeeee" I already have like 4 crushes 2 of them are the same other two except that they are the dark and evil ver- I HAVE A CRUSH ON MARKIPLIER AND JACKSEPTICEYE AND ANTI AND DARK OKAY LOL
Everyone talks about how this song would totally work for Batman and Black Butler, but am I the only one who thinks it would work for Tulbalcain Alhambra/Dandy Man from Hellsing Ultimate?

This song was originally for Gakupo, but he had some problems with settings so Miku had to sing it
It was originally Gakupo. The artist just uploaded the miku version first. Idk. Don't remember that well.
ok cool

Neo Nyo I honestly think that it's because it matches his voice a bit better that Miku's.
He always have this lusty vibe.
💀Ikr
First Gakupo song I heard, fucking amazing.
Same. This is my first Gakupo song too.
+Kayley Suoh SAME!!! fok yea m8
+sirgentleman man Mine was "Madness of Duke Venomania". If you haven't listened to it yet, you totally should.

Did the person make this after they watched Batman and Black Butler? Like woah.
I was totally thinking the same thing!!
Great. Now I want to see a Black Butler AMV with this song...
i was thinking that as I read this
I've only watched like 3 episodes of Season 3 but yesssss

I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS SONG TUNE REMINDS ME OF WE ARE NUMBER ONE!? Just me... ok....

GAKUPO B LIKE "WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY"
Gakupo’s version will always hold a special place with my heart.
It’s the first version I heard!!! ♥
Gakupo is best vocaloid :>
11 years later and this shit still slaps
It's been years since I've stopped listening to vocaloid. I wanted to pay what used to be one of my favourite songs a visit.
The original version features Miku, while a popular parallel version by Camui Gackpo was uploaded several months later; both videos have since been removed from Niconico. Five other official versions of the song were uploaded between 2008 and 2011. All of these as well have been removed from Niconico.
I like Gakupo's version better lol
Came back to this years later

Gosh, you just gave me a ton of inspiration XD
I'm glad. If you ever make something out of it , let me know.
Woah this is so well thought 👏
I just love the way it rhymes;catchy
If vocaloid met batman xD
Im pretty sure meiko or luka is harly quinn then
Len would have to be Robin and Rin Batgirl.
Kaito is batman gakupo is the joker
+Cami Scout then gumi is poison ivy and miku is cat woman.
+Silver Wolf Rin is Harley! 😉
10 years later and it's still hot
Oh! okay, thank you for telling me. I've fixed the credits now ^^
And thank you for translating so many songs ：）
When you live in a society
Love the rhyming. :)
This is my fav version of joker
Gakupo’s voice is so much more tolerable than Kaito’s. Gakupo and Len will always be my favorite male vocaloids.
in my opinion, this one i better then the miku version :/
oh well xD
I think the same :3
I like this version better too. I actually heard this one first and looked up the Miku version just now. It kind of sucks. ^-^;;
love you

BEST. GAKUPO SONG. EVER.
Rolones que nunca se olvidan
This seems like it's based on Batman's Joker. Which wouldn't be too far off, honestly. If it were the case. Keyword, "seems". I'm not entirely sure.
((idk either; but i agree with you. He even looks alike to Eath Ledger's Joker on The dark knight))
What's with that picture of Michael Jackson
Naomi Maria LOL This isn't Michael Jackson its either Kaito or Gakupo, tho it looks more like Kaito to me then Gakupo. That's just my opinion. :)
MyYuma97 it looks kinda like Gackt
+MyYuma97 Looks like Michael to me
actually they did not screw up this version, it was supposed to sound like this
I love the voice sm AAAA
Damn even gackt's voice are slightly menacing at times 😳
this is so catchy, I can't quit watching
I loooove joker from kuroshitsuji he's my favorite! watch black butler love anime
... öhmm joker is only in the manga, right? And what does it has to do with this song? ...only because of the word joker? I can understand you, I also love Kuroshitsuji, but how did you came to it?!
Destiny Star
ah,okey :D
Oh so Gakupo was based before it was cool
I love his voice
Gaku was actualy the vocaloid who was programed to sing this when it was first made >w< and i totaly agree
This needs. To be. A anime.
i love this still
Bro is there i way i can find this song on Spotify it's so good

After going through dozens of covers I realised how much better Gakupo was...
I am about to cry because of his voice like who he know
Gakupo's dark voice ❤️❤️
oh man this was like one of my first vocaloid songs
eerily accurate to 2019 joker
omg fangirl for life
In the beginning it sounded like this was going to be "we are number one"
I sync played Gakupo's "Joker" with Gumi's. It sounded so creepy since they are in different keys.
+Kaito, Very true my Kaito Sama.
Am I the only one wishing I could just hold him, like he has been heart broken to many times
Nope.
Seriously though most of his songs are him being rejected/love stories gone WRONG, like really wrong. (I like it)
came here after the 2019 joker stairs lmao
0:18 Heath ledger loves this song UwU
still a legend
That face gives me nightmares xD
hahahahahaha me too...
I like it *me gusta face*
i like that face too :v
This song actually reminds me of Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter
It does..

I cant be the only one who thinks of Persona 5 when I hear this right?
Ya see, there's songs like this and there's songs like Dancing Samurai...
Judging the fact that I like DC,and that Batman is a favorite. This is kind of upsetting,but not at the same time.
THIS IS SUCH A BOP HOLY SHIT
Looking cool joker~
Anyone came here after the joker movie? :D
The comment I was looking for.
This is the first gakupo song i heard, before i heard it i was like "whats with the gakupo fangirls?" Now im like " ohhh its his voiceeeee" I already have like 4 crushes 2 of them are the same other two except that they are the dark and evil ver- I HAVE A CRUSH ON MARKIPLIER AND JACKSEPTICEYE AND ANTI AND DARK OKAY LOL
