I think this song is about how we don’t need anything to compel us to search for meaning, in fact it’s the absence of something that makes us wonder. Since this was miku’s first original song, i think it’s also symbolic of how the story of vocaloid wasn’t written yet, and how producing the very first original creative work for this new technology must have felt.
Some trivia for anyone just discovering this: "White Letter" was the first all-original composition made with Miku and posted on Nico Nico Douga (NND). Before this she had only been used for covers of existing songs. Crypton Future Media released "Vocaloid 2 CV-01 Hatsune Miku" on August 31, 2007. Producer "GonGoss" published this song to NND on September 9, 2007. This promotional video (PV) animation was made by NND user "R-Q." The full-color animation we see in this video was published on October 27, 2007.
If any of you have played "Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite" you would know what I'm talking about when I say this: When the song talks about finding "that", it reminds me of the game, because you have to find an item called "that".
ahhh I can't believe I only found this song now! At my first listen I already immediately fell in love with this song! There's really not much going on in the melody but I love the 2-5-1-6 progression (it's a progression that is very commonly used in jazz!) that is being looped!

could be a good plot for a manga/anime. A strange girl, naive to earth's customs, searches each day for "that". meh, it sounds better in my head anyway xD Anyway, I love Miku in this. The way she sings and is animated in this makes her look so innocent and child-like
This was, I think, my 3rd song of Vocaloid I ever heard! It just popped up in my favorites playlist and brought tears to my eyes. I don't know how to explain exactly why or how this makes me feel. But finding Vocaloid (specifically Miku, and this song) online as a teenager sent me on a journey through thousands of songs... I believe it helped me find myself. This song is the epitome of my journey. Bliss! I'll keep on forever searching, too, Miku~! With a flip-flop sparkly happy feeling in my chest.

Услышал эту песню в новеле - "С песней по жизни" Вот не верится что Мику уже как 15 лет. Еще немного и свой возвраст литературный догонит Все равно 2007-2013 самые лучшие, всё самое душевное от туда...
Well,I guess that could be it,but I also like the 'child's playing' interpretation.mayb she was a child and she is playing an imaginary game,because she felt there was something missing(ie she hadn't discovered her calling). As she continued to grow up she finally discovered her calling but she's still searching to develop her creativity further..hence still looking for the white letter
It's actually "hira-hira." As for "that," I'm not sure it really has any meaning. It's the same as "here," except where ever you are is "here." So when she realized she needed to go "here" of course she was already "here." "That" could mean anything, so she doesn't really have any specific thing to find. If that makes any sense.
2:07 Digs up a what I recognize to be a gyroid, and now I'm suddenly making connections to this song and Animal Crossing. I feel like I discovered something important :D
I learned a new japanese word today 'feela fila' flip flop. As for what she means by 'that' I think it's supposed to mean her voice or reason for singing. Especially since she doesn't look like she's singing at all during the whole thing.
@halla4763 .................you do realize that is the point of the video right.........the way it's animated. She's invented her own game, a childs, imaginary game, where she looks for "that". So, the animations all, weeeeeeeeeeee!!!! imma kid!!! and if you dont like it make your own.
Isn't that letter from Kaito? :3 It's funny to watch this after Saihate xd And it's funny to write such a comment after reading the similar one to 'Reverse Rainbow' x3
maybe "that" doesn't exist, and the letter sent her to look for "that" on places where she would find beautiful things and meet wonderful friends (KAITO,MEIKO and the other vocaloids)
i love this song!!! and she might be looking for a musical instrument or maybe love...i like that one. wouldn't that be cool if they used al the vocaloids for an anime!!!!???? that would be awesome!
MP3 download link doesn't work any more. The blog post is there, but both the normal and karaoke MP3 links return a 403 error. Anyone else have a copy of the MP3 and can put it up on mediafire or megaupload?
Perhaps I'm doing this wrong, but neither of those links you provided for this track are working for me. It comes back with a permission error or something.
it should also be noted that this is infact Miku's first original song to ever be uploaded for her!!!
Hello Miku Follower, how is life going?
Isn't it Hoshi no Kakera?
@@Бандера009 that's a demo song. This is the very first original song.
@@mikufollower8564 i thought the mikus relationship with her leek started at poika, dint know it was refrenced here
I think this song is about how we don’t need anything to compel us to search for meaning, in fact it’s the absence of something that makes us wonder.

I like this explanation!
This song was made before Rin and Len were released. That's how old school it is.

she's trying to find my will to live
This comment is fucking amazing
xDD
Did you live?

Lol hey courtney
YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW CRINGE THAT SHOW IS YEARS LATER LOL
YOU??
Never take this down I've been coming back for years lol....
i discover vocaloid on the late 2007 and i realized this song on 2008 and still enjoy it till this day :)
me too. It's been 13 years but my love will never die
ahhh I can't believe I only found this song now! At my first listen I already immediately fell in love with this song! There's really not much going on in the melody but I love the 2-5-1-6 progression (it's a progression that is very commonly used in jazz!) that is being looped!
This song reminds me kinda childhood dreams.
In original Japanese, "that" is mysterious, too.
The haniwa in the sandbox is unsettling...
My god… it’s been years and this song still brings me so much happiness, I truly adore this song.
there are rumor`s says that miku is still looking for *that*
W a eo w a eo w a eo w a eo
*sigh* Ah yes, my very first vocaloid song. Good times.
this song is so weird and random. but sweet and loving at the same time....
i luv this :)
"KOKO" ni koi to kaite atta
Kizukeba "koko" made kite ita
Mienai hito ga matte ita
Mienai keredo hito datta
Sono koe h(w)a kikoenakatta

"SORE" wo sagashite to iwareta
Dakara "SORE" wo sagashi motometa
Mayoi mo naku riyuu mo naku sagashi tsuzukeru no
Ashita mitsukaru kamo "SORE" no arika kitai shite
Ironna tokoro wo sagashita
Biru no tanima nih(w)a nakatta
Sunaba wo hotte mo nakatta kabe no mukou nimo nakatta
Ima demo "SORE" wo sagasiteru
Kyou mo "SORE" wo sagashite iru
Kumo no kirema kara hirahira
Kumo no kirema kara hirahira
Fushigi na tegami ga todoita
Chiisai kirei na fuutou
Makka na atena to oshibana
Naka nih(w)a kuuhaku no tegami
[ ](spe-su) kaigyou sore dake
Kotoba h(w)a nani mo kaite nai
Soredemo naiyou ga wakaru
Everytime I come back to listen to this song I feel so old and the nostalgia hit hard qwq
could be a good plot for a manga/anime. A strange girl, naive to earth's customs, searches each day for "that". meh, it sounds better in my head anyway xD
Anyway, I love Miku in this. The way she sings and is animated in this makes her look so innocent and child-like
Thank you very much この歌を、ありがとうございます
2:15 i never noticed, but this is a haruhi suzumiya reference to the OP right??

Really awesome :] The fact that it's animated just adds to the epicness xD Really nice~

I love the random wisdom in this song ^w^
Maybe you don't need to know what you're searching for.
Услышал эту песню в новеле - "С песней по жизни"
Вот не верится что Мику уже как 15 лет. Еще немного и свой возвраст литературный догонит
Все равно 2007-2013 самые лучшие, всё самое душевное от туда...
This is just a really pleasant song to listen to. I like it.
sry i missed
x:Dakara "SORE" wo sagashi motometa
o:Dakara "SORE" wo sagashi hajimeta
It took me about a minute to realize I was doing the "What is Love" meme headbang thing to the music.
im geussing it's soul?
Well,I guess that could be it,but I also like the 'child's playing' interpretation.mayb she was a child and she is playing an imaginary game,because she felt there was something missing(ie she hadn't discovered her calling).

Aww this song kinda makes me miss Trickster Online... One of their BGM sounds a little like this
It's actually "hira-hira." As for "that," I'm not sure it really has any meaning. It's the same as "here," except where ever you are is "here." So when she realized she needed to go "here" of course she was already "here." "That" could mean anything, so she doesn't really have any specific thing to find. If that makes any sense.
2:00
kaito singing with a homeless man on the street
@suzycutyyemo thats what her number thingy is but im pretty sure Meiko was the first vocaloid ever made.
This song makes me happy C:
this song is so calming i always listen to it when I walk around town xD
2:07 Digs up a what I recognize to be a gyroid, and now I'm suddenly making connections to this song and Animal Crossing. I feel like I discovered something important :D
I learned a new japanese word today 'feela fila' flip flop. As for what she means by 'that' I think it's supposed to mean her voice or reason for singing. Especially since she doesn't look like she's singing at all during the whole thing.
this song is how I discovered her
i always find this song fun and the beats makes me wanna tap my feet or shake my head to the music
This was the first Vocaloid song i saw, im totally in love with Miku since that day ^^ sorry for my bad english, im from Mexico
@halla4763 .................you do realize that is the point of the video right.........the way it's animated. She's invented her own game, a childs, imaginary game, where she looks for "that". So, the animations all, weeeeeeeeeeee!!!! imma kid!!! and if you dont like it make your own.
It's written in Whitespace! wikipedia . org / wiki / Whitespace_(programming_language)
XD This is such a sad-meaning song, but ultimately groovy.
this was the first song i heared from miku

Try checking the previous comments someone posted it. There's also some post with the Kanji in it. =]
Isn't that letter from Kaito? :3 It's funny to watch this after Saihate xd
And it's funny to write such a comment after reading the similar one to 'Reverse Rainbow' x3

I envy Miku for being able to see those line breaks.
Zomg its Tina xD You planning on making a video with this song? :o
@cool944 Lol, It's ok
I'm glad I could help someone with the information =3
2:13 It looks like she's browsing either Nico Nico Douga or the old version of scribd, with the PDF plugin
@MikuMikuDanceEpic
Its saying Kira? It sounds like hira hira
ahaha its polar bear chaos xD! nice song ^^
maybe "that" doesn't exist, and the letter sent her to look for "that" on places where she would find beautiful things and meet wonderful friends (KAITO,MEIKO and the other vocaloids)
2:01 Kaito is Busking! With some Random guitarist!
I love this song.
Free UA-cam to MP3 Converter allows ppl to download sounds from utub and convert it to MP3 =D

I Love this song so Much ^-^
2:13 LOL, miku broke the cpu~~~ virus XD
MP3 download link doesn't work any more. The blog post is there, but both the normal and karaoke MP3 links return a 403 error.
Anyone else have a copy of the MP3 and can put it up on mediafire or megaupload?
Or you can record with Audacity and convert it from there to MP3. That's what I do.
kawaii miku! nice song too :3
0:52 -- Hey, Hey, we're the monk-ees!
So cute~
Does anyone still have the off vocal mp3? It's no longer on the site.
My computer went blue screen recently lol
read the description...
Yeah, the polar bear's name is Kumauta. :D
@mimisezlol Yeah, that's what I ended up using to get it.
Er. When I downloaded the song, it said it couldn't be played??? What the hell..
I try to get the Atsu-omorete, well.. Makes no sense.
Avoid the carpenter I'm Riyo Asa will be omitted in our mediation

if you stop at 0:20 on the vid it looks like poor miku is stresed out!
@CL100100 Well then, I think it's just based-on but I know for sure that there's a bond between them o.0
