I can't tell my real feel in English so I will tell in Mandarin below: 我很高興店長有這樣的歌，不只是想要成為偶像的想望，透過歌曲更多地揭露了心聲，我們KFP一直都知道店長是很直率的人，但不管多麼直率，還是有些心情會埋藏在心中吧，用這樣的歌來傾訴、告訴大家真的很棒，希望店長能夠一直這樣下去，無論信仰如何，店長是最棒的！我們會一直追隨店長！You will survive and we will keep chasing you.
The MV really enhanced the meaning she put behind the song. The distance between virtual her and us. Having Kiara in a futuristic design was smart af would loop again
Hello, I'd like to file a complaint about The Great Wanderer. It goes so hard I can't listen to it without singing along... BUT I CAN'T SING . Seriously, TGW and everything on Point of View is just great music that deserves to transcend the vtuber bubble, so let's all share it and help get it out there so it shines like it should. Also, this MV is a reminder that a simple lyric video can look like a million bucks
Lyrics🎶: Passing by familiar roads I couldn't find the reason why Who I am you couldn't know Stuck in the ruins, my disillusion In between a dual reality My own desire keeps me to you, ooh Moving faster than the light can I'm in the absence, alone looking back Did I lose my way, I can't see the day When I can reach you again then can I let go? I can hear your voice leading me through the void Fade away to the grey Eternally I'm walking by the lives that flash before my eyes Alone, the silence deafening, still I'm reaching out to you Connections sacrificed, the lie I tell myself so I'll survive One day, eventually the light, it will lead me back, do you see me? Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer) Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer) Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer Faith is gone, the well is dry No more believing, just deceiving, ooh Feel the daylight on the edge but I can't feel the heat, fall back I'm too deep Did I lose my way (Lose my way), I can't see the day (See the day) When I can reach you again then can I let go? I can hear your voice leading me through the void Fade away to the grey Eternally I'm walking by the lives that flash before my eyes Alone, the silence deafening, still I'm reaching out to you Connections sacrificed, the lie I tell myself so I'll survive One day, eventually the light, it will lead me back, do you see me? Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer) Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer) Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
What a banger. I wish Kiara would do more like this where the song is serious and she hits those deeper notes. Her voice is great but i don't vibe with cutsie songs usually. This i vibe with. Excellent work, Kiara!
One of the (many) great things about Kiara's songs is how her slight accent sneaks into the English here and there. It's quite subtle but it's super endearing and adds a lot of character. Like the way she says "then" ❤
This song is a fucking masterpiece. Its seriously so good, and it makes me so angry that the world doesnt see this. This video should have tends of millions of views. Heres to hoping some random tiktoker comes across it one day and gives Jiara the platform she truly deserves. Viva Ka KFP!!!
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SONG! It's especially precious to someone like me who listens to a lot of Starset, and Kiara practically makes that kind of sound her own!
Song was released a month or two earlier on YT Music and streaming platforms. I suspect most ppl listen to it there instead of watching the video. I stream both to help the algorithm a little.
This song reminds me of the stuff from the mid-2000s, sort of with black and white visuals of crumbling buildings and empty avenues. The space theme was a surprise.
This is my favorite song from Kiara's album "POV" . Different style than most of her songs and with deep lyrics that tells how she feels really glad this song came out and thankful for everyone involved to make this masterpiece
I love the aesthetic choices for this art and MV. The colors, the hairstyle, those cool techy dome bits all over the outfit. Fits the vibe of the song very nicely. And the song itself is still just SO GOOD, my absolute favorite of the new songs on the album.
This is one of my favorite songs on Kiara's album - it takes the sweet and ethereal qualities of her voice and lets them soar. Mamaloni's art (LOVE YOU MAMALONI) takes everything to another level! Viva la Kiwawa! KFP forever!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Great wanderer and sleep talking are my two absolute faves of the new batch after DO U. This one in particular feels like a very emotional piece for me that I'd put up there with Hinotori for its message. Definitely a strong kinda warmth, Tenchou!
Let's go てんちょう ! I didn't expect a cyberpunk aesthetic for this song, but looking at it in "retrospective", it does fit ! Both the outfit design and song have an ethereal feel to them.
I fell in love with The Great Wanderere again!!! The MV is so good and fits the song perfectly! Since the first time listening to the song it gave me such strong futuristic Sci-Fi and spacey vibes, always imagined wandering through space in a spaceship in the future all alone, no contact to other life for a long time. Impossible distances, almost another universe away, like between Fans and Vtubers at times, but also fitting for those lone wanderes, be it on a road, the forest or outer space. The image of Kiara in a furturistic get up on the window sill of one of the space ship's windows, being very melancholic in the exact pose Mamaloni drew Wawa here. And Raina gave those Sc-Fi vibes some more UMPH with the MV and the effects Mamloni and Raina did an amazing job just like Kiara and her Angels did! Bravo! I'll loop it again and again!!
God damn, can we talk for just a moment about *how well* Kiara's voice goes with the synthwave backbeat? It's like she was MADE to sing atop it. Congratulations!
Oh, wow…! As a Holofan, 2023 has really spoiled me with the number of bangers these girls have released. And Kiara do not disappoint, I might even say this is one of her absolute best. Her singing is spot on, very beautiful and the art shown in the MV is fantastic. Outstanding work by everyone involved in this!!
I think more than anyone else in Hololive, you've nailed synthwave as a genre. Really good stuff here Tenchou! Thanks to everyone involved, it's a banger!
Not just this song, or this MV but that whole album helped me expressing myself better. I have a habit of singing along whilst gaming in non serious scenarios (playing racing sims or casual playlists). My mates gave me really much feedback. They told me that they could her differing levels of expression for different songs. When I sang *Pineapple* in an already good mood it boosted my mood further and it became hearable, because my mates often already asked me "did something nice happen, you seem so much better rn". With Retrospective I could finally express all the pain and anguish stalled in my body, as my mates often thought I had a sudden bad happening, but I was just putting my whole heart's content putting into singing it. And yes, that meabs putting in my past emotional draumas. They said they could never have thought that I would get that expressionful, as I am usually pretty bland. The Great Wanderer, for me at least, especially associates with my dissociation disorder, which is caused by too high stress levels. When they happen, usually I wake up in the middle of the night, finding myself in a panic attack, (heavy breathing, high pulse, etc) bzt viewing it dissociative from basically a third person view. The "Walking by by familiar roads" is the part of my life of ever increasing stress levels, and the "fade away to the grey" makes the counter part of stress relief after I recovered from a panic attack, because I literally feel no stress at all for 2 weeks after that. I really have to say, that the MV really enhanced the feeling of the song, even tho it wasn't that much, I had goosebumps all the way through.
I love how well her voice goes with this type of genre, and the beautifully illustrated music video depicting loneliness within cyberspace. Easily one of my favorite songs on the album.
TGW!! TGW!! The MV made it better imo. Back then the song makes me think of an explorer and wanderer, just wandering as modern people. Now, the MV with the futuristic gear on kiara, made the wanderer more "wandering", wandering the cosmos and exploring other places
The Great Wanderer is my favorite song of the album and the music video did not disappoint! Mamaloni's art is always a pleasure to see and the outfit looks great!
When I first heard all the new songs on the album I thought Retrospective would be my favorite out of the new ones. The Great Wanderer has solidified not only as my favorite new song, but it's also my favorite original song by Kiara overall. I really like the tech/cyber theme on this video too; I honestly don't see it often enough for my tastes.
This has officially become my personal favorite Hololive song. And that's saying something because you all are so great and talented within this agency. Even though it most likely has nothing to do with its actual meaning, I find myself deeply connecting with the vibes the song gives off to a personal level. Also, as a non-native speaker, I have to say that "Wanderer" is one of my favorite words of the English language for whatever reason. I just love the deep poetic and melancholic implications the word is often given in art. The song just strikes all the right checkboxes for me and Kiara's performance and voice obviously plays a huge part to it as well!
0:00 - 0:18 really reminds me of the song MUKANJYO (The Vinland Saga animes first op) by Survive Said The Prophet. Both this and that song are bangers. Keep up the releases enjoyed them all so far
Damn just now I realised how awesome this song is. Her voice really is great in this. This reminds me of some great EDM songs. Wish Kiara would do more of this sort of stuff.
Between this and Retrospective, I still can't decide which one is my overall favorite. I absolutely adore the vocals in both of them, the extensive use of the lower range in particular.
Edit : You know the feeling of listening to something that feels so heavenly, but at the same time, so uplifting? That was what I felt when I first heard The Great Wanderer. It's a song that talks about our eternal phoenix as she's lived countless lives, and as she continues to tread the lonely path of immortality, her only hope and motivation is to continually reach into our hearts, just as we do the same to pull her out of the void. I've listened to this song so many times...and now, having this amazing music video really adds to the majesty and mystery. I LOVE IT. I am so HAPPY TGW has its own MV - big UPS to everyone who helped make this song and this MV - AND TO our WONDERFUL phoenix boss for always casting a warm and gladdening light on our lives. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
The imagery that I see while listening: A lonely phoenix drifting through space and time, fond of the past memories that she couldn't let go, she attempts to relive them once again. Travelling faster than the speed of light she travels backwards in time. Countless memories flashes by, though at the same time they appear to be so slow, it almost feels like a different reality. Uncertain if she can ever reach her destination, she convinces herself that she is on the right path, and that she will get there eventually. In the silence of space she travels eternally, hoping to one day reach the light.
AN amazing MV and amazing outfit for it too. TGW one of my favorite songs off the album so seeing it finally get MV makes me so happy can't wait to loop.
I love everything about this song. I play this on loop when I am walking down the street, around campus, working out and near nature. Pretty much everywhere.
This is absolute fire. I love when a vtuber pulls something different from the usual anime songs, you know, breaking the mold a little. But Kiara's versatility, able to sing J-Rock/pop to 80's pop, techno and now this sci-fi style, is something that definitely makes her stand out. She's on the right path to become an idol, but not the old usual ones, something different and new, and I love that.
I keep listening to this song, over and over again. And it became one of my favourite songs in the Point of View album. It shows how much you wanted to escape reality, but you wanted to see the world more. Takanashi Kiara, Your songs are a masterpiece. And you're the best phoenix ever.
definitely got those driving down the road at night, covered in neon drenched lights vibes going on. if i went clubbing i could definitely see this playing in one!
The song is absolutely amazing, and so is your design in the MV! I love everything about this! It all goes SO HARD Tenchou, for real. Can't stop looping it
The Great Wanderer is one of my most favorites in the album! Something about the lyrics, vocals, and the ambience just checks all the boxes for me. Somber but yet energetic? I love the sci-fi diva outfit. Another awesome MV outfit for Wawa's closet!
This one right here I like 10chou!! Sometimes your taste tends to not match mine, but this is one of the types of songs I can vibe to, a lot. Powerful lyrics as well, that make a lot of sense with you being a phoenix. Great work to everyone involved!
This is genuinely my favorite song on the album (tied with DO U), and I can't get over how well this song paints a visual in my brain! Now I just need to learn the lyrics so I can sing along properly!
Oh me, oh my Ms Kiwawa that was fantastic!! You struck a chord with me on this one, a bit more moody or melancholic (yes please) but more importantly I believe THIS sound is you. To me, your other songs have been experimental, hopping genres and trying new things. Which is brilliant! But I tend to feel your voice never fully 'clicked" for me. "Forced" may be a tad strong a word but this song feels natural, drawing on a more elegant, sexier mid-range and resting voice. I AM waffling, to be sure. But my passion just matches your own! Crack on Lass, you won this metalhead's heart a long time ago but a tune like this stokes my soul!!
I will never be able to get over how incredibly beautiful Kiwawa’s singing is. I really love everything about this song so much! Mamaloni art is just so gorgeous! Absolutely amazing MV!!!🧡😭🧡
*That's why I like music like this, don't be afraid to be yourself, this is more unique and plus its not done is such a bait way or ear worm. It genuinely is good, The story and context good. So deep and vast. A familiar melody. Melancholic ambience.*
A great video for probably my favorite song on the album! For not being big into sci-fi, Kiara really slides into the aesthetic perfectly. I wonder what she'd think of Cyberpunk 2077... The main character's story of trying to become a legend and scrambling to survive may resonate with her a bit, plus the recent update improved the rpg/character-building elements. I never would have expected her to like some of the other stuff she's enjoyed (GTA, Hotline Miami) so I wonder if it is another of those hidden gem games for her. Maybe Moona can sell her on it
don't forget to listen to the rest of the album✨ cover.lnk.to/PointofView
Will do boss. Although I’m also waiting for my album to arrive and don’t want to have overdone it by then lol. Great work on it all
This is a beautiful song. This type of song suits you so well!
yes Your Highness
I listen to it every day on my way to work
Been on Repeat
I can't tell my real feel in English so I will tell in Mandarin below: 我很高興店長有這樣的歌，不只是想要成為偶像的想望，透過歌曲更多地揭露了心聲，我們KFP一直都知道店長是很直率的人，但不管多麼直率，還是有些心情會埋藏在心中吧，用這樣的歌來傾訴、告訴大家真的很棒，希望店長能夠一直這樣下去，無論信仰如何，店長是最棒的！我們會一直追隨店長！You will survive and we will keep chasing you.
Also, I made a Japanese translation of the lyrics.
見慣れた街並み だけど 違う
誰もいない場所に ひとり 立ちつくして
夢と現（うつつ）が出会う あなたを 求めて oooh
光よりも早く 探しても あなたはいない
道に迷ったの 先が見えない
あなたの指が 離れてゆく
声が聞こえる あの闇間（やみま）から
連れて行って
どこまでも つづく道
いつまでも 揺れる時
ただ、あてもなく ひとり彷徨（さまよ）って
ぬくもり 思い出して
勇気を 呼び起こして
ああ、やがて光が 私を導くまで
Dadadadadadada ah ooh ooh ooh (wanderer)
Dadadadadadada I am the wanderer
Dadadadadadada ah ooh ooh ooh (wanderer)
Dadadadadadada I am the wanderer
夢も水も 途切れ
見えるのは 蜃気楼（しんきろう）oooh
日差しを さえぎる陰も
深みへ 連れ去るだろう
道に迷ったの 先が見えない
あなたの指が 離れてゆく
声が聞こえる あの闇間（やみま）から
連れて行って
どこまでも つづく道
いつまでも 揺れる時
ただ、あてもなく ひとり彷徨（さまよ）って
ぬくもり 思い出して
勇気を 呼び起こして
ああ、やがて光が 私を導くまで
Dadadadadadada ah ooh ooh ooh (wanderer)
Dadadadadadada I am the wanderer
Dadadadadadada ah ooh ooh ooh (wanderer)

The MV really enhanced the meaning she put behind the song. The distance between virtual her and us. Having Kiara in a futuristic design was smart af would loop again
I can reduce this distance by jamming a fork in my router right?

Hello, I'd like to file a complaint about The Great Wanderer. It goes so hard I can't listen to it without singing along... BUT I CAN'T SING . Seriously, TGW and everything on Point of View is just great music that deserves to transcend the vtuber bubble, so let's all share it and help get it out there so it shines like it should. Also, this MV is a reminder that a simple lyric video can look like a million bucks
Why can't you sing?
You could make a vocaloid cover
Fact: Kiara only makes bangers.
Lyrics🎶:
Passing by familiar roads
I couldn't find the reason why
Who I am you couldn't know
Stuck in the ruins, my disillusion
In between a dual reality
My own desire keeps me to you, ooh
Moving faster than the light can
I'm in the absence, alone looking back
Did I lose my way, I can't see the day
When I can reach you again then can I let go?
I can hear your voice leading me through the void
Fade away to the grey
Eternally I'm walking by the lives that flash before my eyes
Alone, the silence deafening, still I'm reaching out to you
Connections sacrificed, the lie I tell myself so I'll survive
One day, eventually the light, it will lead me back, do you see me?
Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer)
Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer
Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer)
Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer
Faith is gone, the well is dry
No more believing, just deceiving, ooh
Feel the daylight on the edge but
I can't feel the heat, fall back I'm too deep
Did I lose my way (Lose my way), I can't see the day (See the day)
When I can reach you again then can I let go?
I can hear your voice leading me through the void
Fade away to the grey
Eternally I'm walking by the lives that flash before my eyes
Alone, the silence deafening, still I'm reaching out to you
Connections sacrificed, the lie I tell myself so I'll survive
One day, eventually the light, it will lead me back, do you see me?
Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer)
Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer
Da da d-da d-da da da ooh (Wanderer)
Da da d-da d-da da da I am the wanderer
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I hope this MV gets even more people to hear this amazing song.
I think this might actually be my favourite Kiara song now. It's just really great and you can tell tons of love went into it.
not gonna lie, i think you've found YOUR genre, this sounds majestic.... angelic
What a banger. I wish Kiara would do more like this where the song is serious and she hits those deeper notes. Her voice is great but i don't vibe with cutsie songs usually. This i vibe with. Excellent work, Kiara!
You took what I was thinking and then you wrote it down, perfectly said.
@@nairav9156 True that. Cute is good sometimes, but not normally my first pick.
Have you heard of Retrospective?
As per the above comment, if you haven't listened to Retrospective, you didn't need to listen to it. The vibe is just as good, heck better even.
She has talked about how she can't keep this voice up for a long time, it strains here way more than the voice she normally uses.
Man Kiara's voice sounds really strong here. She's jumping octaves like it's no big deal.
This synthpop banger has got to be one of the best hololive songs I’ve ever heard
guess it's not just me
@@zan7838 You're not alone, there's many of us TGWheads out there

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SONG!
It's especially precious to someone like me who listens to a lot of Starset, and Kiara practically makes that kind of sound her own!
idk why the views are lacking here?!
this is such a great song! at least in my top 10 Holo songs
Song was released a month or two earlier on YT Music and streaming platforms. I suspect most ppl listen to it there instead of watching the video. I stream both to help the algorithm a little.
_Once again, the ashes cluster. They grow warm, they glow - and then, that celestial flame ignites anew._
This song does not get enough views for how good it is
This song reminds me of the stuff from the mid-2000s, sort of with black and white visuals of crumbling buildings and empty avenues. The space theme was a surprise.
This is my favorite song from Kiara's album "POV" .
Different style than most of her songs and with deep lyrics that tells how she feels
really glad this song came out and thankful for everyone involved to make this masterpiece
The MV for The Great Wanderer is outstanding! The design of Kiara really fits the songs just like how I expected it to be! Amazing song!
I love the aesthetic choices for this art and MV. The colors, the hairstyle, those cool techy dome bits all over the outfit. Fits the vibe of the song very nicely. And the song itself is still just SO GOOD, my absolute favorite of the new songs on the album.
As someone who appreciates more somber songs, I'm happy Kiara sang this and Retrospective
KIKKERIKI! Do not let our voice fade away! Kikkeriki harder so our voice reach her ever so loudly!
Finally, we get the MV for TGW!! and that design of Kiara with the winged headphones look so good
Love the beat, especially in the chorus!
This is one of my favorite songs on Kiara's album - it takes the sweet and ethereal qualities of her voice and lets them soar. Mamaloni's art (LOVE YOU MAMALONI) takes everything to another level! Viva la Kiwawa! KFP forever!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Great wanderer and sleep talking are my two absolute faves of the new batch after DO U. This one in particular feels like a very emotional piece for me that I'd put up there with Hinotori for its message. Definitely a strong kinda warmth, Tenchou!
"I am the wanderer" part gave me absolute chills
Guys this song really deserves more views!
Let's go てんちょう ! I didn't expect a cyberpunk aesthetic for this song, but looking at it in "retrospective", it does fit ! Both the outfit design and song have an ethereal feel to them.
If Kiara ever gets another alternate hairstyle it should be this one. Because she makes it look _good._
I can't stop listening, this song is a banger! It's deserves much more attention
Only 532k views? Under-viewed and underrated!! This song is hot!!
🔥
My favorite from the album. I can legit listen to this song 24/7 and it never gets old.
I fell in love with The Great Wanderere again!!!
The MV is so good and fits the song perfectly! Since the first time listening to the song it gave me such strong futuristic Sci-Fi and spacey vibes, always imagined wandering through space in a spaceship in the future all alone, no contact to other life for a long time.

The image of Kiara in a furturistic get up on the window sill of one of the space ship's windows, being very melancholic in the exact pose Mamaloni drew Wawa here. And Raina gave those Sc-Fi vibes some more UMPH with the MV and the effects
Mamloni and Raina did an amazing job just like Kiara and her Angels did!
Bravo! I'll loop it again and again!!
Tencho's singing style and singing voice are excellent.
店長の歌い方と歌声、とてもステキです
God damn, can we talk for just a moment about *how well* Kiara's voice goes with the synthwave backbeat? It's like she was MADE to sing atop it. Congratulations!
Is this what being addicted is like? I KEEP PUTTING THIS SONG ON LOOP! HELP!
Oh, wow…! As a Holofan, 2023 has really spoiled me with the number of bangers these girls have released. And Kiara do not disappoint, I might even say this is one of her absolute best.

500K LET’S GO! This song is absolutely incredible and deserves so much more views! I’ll never stop streaming it!
This is now my favourite Kiara song and MV . Love the whole Cyber punk vibe. It would make a great opening song for a GITS or Appleseed anime OST
600K!!!! This absolute banger deserves so much more. I’m never stop listening to it no matter what!
Man I want more art of Tenchou in this outfit

The second I heard the first notes, I knew this one was gonna be more fire than the sun itself.
I love everything about this song. I play this on loop when I am walking down the street, around campus, working out and near nature. Pretty much everywhere.
If this was released when Alan Walker was blown up back then, this would have hit so hard...
This is absolute fire. I love when a vtuber pulls something different from the usual anime songs, you know, breaking the mold a little. But Kiara's versatility, able to sing J-Rock/pop to 80's pop, techno and now this sci-fi style, is something that definitely makes her stand out. She's on the right path to become an idol, but not the old usual ones, something different and new, and I love that.
Kiara's outfit for the MV is great. I'd love to see her with that hairstyle.
Best song of the album, maybe even your best song yet. Tenchou truly only knows one way and it's UP ⬆
I really enjoy when Kiara does these sorts of songs. Sparks and this are my two favs.
I keep listening to this song, over and over again.
And it became one of my favourite songs in the Point of View album.
It shows how much you wanted to escape reality, but you wanted to see the world more.
Takanashi Kiara,
Your songs are a masterpiece. And you're the best phoenix ever.
This song is sooooo sick! The beat drops go really hard and Kiwawa’s vocals and the illustration are so beautiful
I always love hearing Kiara's wonderful singing voice
One of my fav tracks from the album getting a really nice PV to go along with it
definitely got those driving down the road at night, covered in neon drenched lights vibes going on.
if i went clubbing i could definitely see this playing in one!
The song is absolutely amazing, and so is your design in the MV! I love everything about this! It all goes SO HARD Tenchou, for real. Can't stop looping it
Wonderful video for a banger song! Straight up thought about Lucy from Edgerunners with the sci-fi vibe going on. Beautiful design.
My favorite song from Point of View lets go
I want this as an actual outfit.
The Great Wanderer is one of my most favorites in the album! Something about the lyrics, vocals, and the ambience just checks all the boxes for me. Somber but yet energetic?
I love the sci-fi diva outfit. Another awesome MV outfit for Wawa's closet!
Man, that illustration is super cool
This one right here I like 10chou!! Sometimes your taste tends to not match mine, but this is one of the types of songs I can vibe to, a lot.
Powerful lyrics as well, that make a lot of sense with you being a phoenix. Great work to everyone involved!
One of the best Hololive songs! I hope there will also be an MV for Retrospective.
honestly probably my personal fav from the album really lovely song
This is genuinely my favorite song on the album (tied with DO U), and I can't get over how well this song paints a visual in my brain! Now I just need to learn the lyrics so I can sing along properly!
I love this song. I’d say it’s my favourite off the album but honestly, I can’t choose.
The art looks like Magical Girl meets Motoko Kusanagi. I adore everything about it.
A love the beat in general.
Oh me, oh my Ms Kiwawa that was fantastic!!
You struck a chord with me on this one, a bit more moody or melancholic (yes please) but more importantly I believe THIS sound is you.
To me, your other songs have been experimental, hopping genres and trying new things. Which is brilliant! But I tend to feel your voice never fully 'clicked" for me.
"Forced" may be a tad strong a word but this song feels natural, drawing on a more elegant, sexier mid-range and resting voice.
I AM waffling, to be sure. But my passion just matches your own!
Crack on Lass, you won this metalhead's heart a long time ago but a tune like this stokes my soul!!
Holy hell Tenchou that outfit! I love the technological theming in this MV!
I can loop it endlessly and never get tired of it. Definitely the best of the album.
This song is absolute fire! The UA-cam algo does good sometimes....
My favourite song from the album, really happy it got an MV so it could get more visibility!
Even the thumbnail looks amazing already!
TGW is one of my favorite too, I'm excited!
This is Kiara's genre. Amazing singing and song.
I will never be able to get over how incredibly beautiful Kiwawa’s singing is. I really love everything about this song so much! Mamaloni art is just so gorgeous! Absolutely amazing MV!!!🧡😭🧡
I would like to thank Siivagunner for showing me that this song exists.
TGW is still the best! And Mamaloni killed it with that design!
*That's why I like music like this, don't be afraid to be yourself, this is more unique and plus its not done is such a bait way or ear worm. It genuinely is good, The story and context good. So deep and vast. A familiar melody. Melancholic ambience.*
This is my favourite song off the new album and I'm so happy it got an MV! I love the artwork Mamaloni did for this - new outfit commission maybe?!
A great video for probably my favorite song on the album! For not being big into sci-fi, Kiara really slides into the aesthetic perfectly. I wonder what she'd think of Cyberpunk 2077... The main character's story of trying to become a legend and scrambling to survive may resonate with her a bit, plus the recent update improved the rpg/character-building elements. I never would have expected her to like some of the other stuff she's enjoyed (GTA, Hotline Miami) so I wonder if it is another of those hidden gem games for her. Maybe Moona can sell her on it
God this so a banger, I really feel like this genre if music nakes full use of Kiwawa's beautiful voice! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
