nobody:
kikuo: *_wanna hear a cute cloud singing really unsettlingly?_*
Kikuo: *_Also the people with high IQ can understand this is about drug abuse and dying from overdose._* (Cotton candy is normally suger if put in litteral terms but if you think about it
It also could be a metaphor for highly additive drugs that people took in their young days and once the effect weared off they wanted more to feel at peace again. The cloud also kinda looks like chalk dust or finely grinded up drugs made into powder and scattered everywhere and the dust from it is showing more as the song progresses.)

I generally love experimental music, but this is absolutely terrifying. Not like those cheap jump-scares in horror movies but like.....this creepy sinister feeling grows on you throughout the whole song, '"something is definitely wrong" kind of feeling.
The reason it might be terrifying is that it uses notes in between the notes (microtones/quarter tones)
My interpretation of this song is that this is about growing up and slowly becoming more depressed as the years go on and they (the person singing) are remembering the time when they were happy. The "cotton candy" refers to happy memories of being a child and just having that joyfulness all the time. The lyrics, "Cotton candy in my head, sweet and fluffy" are the memories that are innocent and happy. They then go on to say, "please give me lots of cotton candy, like the old days. I want to go back how we were." This shows their want to go back to their childhood.
"Forever, and ever, my head is empty, empty, empty" This is their depression making them feel empty. One again after this line they say, "The old days, the old days, please let me go back" almost like they are begging to be happy and free again. The last lines in the song is, "Put me back... cotton... candy" The hesitation in their voice could be them taking their last breath, which could be them committing suicide because they couldn't handle their depression any longer. I hope this made sense! :))
Edit: I also just thought about WHY they specifically said cotton candy. This could be because cotton candy melts or "goes away" very fast, so cotton candy could symbolize how short youth and childhood is!
This is too relatable :(
@@duck9387 this is just my personal interpretation, it’s not anything confirmed
@@wolfandraven891 I really like this. I wish I could save comments
Despite having a pretty traumatic childhood, this is still relatable

I got the impression that this song is about the fogginess and dissociation associated with trauma. Being unable to think cleary, feeling like your mind is, well, foggy. As well as wanting to escape and go back to a time before it felt so bad.
I feel that a lot of Kikuo's songs explore childhood trauma while sympathising with the innocent fear, lack of understanding and naivety that children have about their situations. This would make this song fit into that trend, too.
This song feels heavily like what dissocation feels like, at least to me.
I think, of the theories I've seen in the comments, yours is one of the ones I like the most. It's very similar to my interpretation of the song as well.
That makes lots of sense and would tie the drug theory together with that since that could be the traumatic experience.
this song is literally what disassociation feels like

The song is about a hardcore meth addict

It feels like traveling to another dimension, or going to an astral plan
clever of kikuo to make the drop feel so entrancing and addicting, like you’re tripping
it’s so encapsulating, but then it fades away. and by the second time the buildup starts, you can’t wait for it to hit again
but... it doesn’t stop until the song becomes a scrambled mess, then silent.

"eaten up in the blink of an eye" after the end of the first chorus
This feels almost like a psychotic break. Imagine sitting in a room alone with nothing but a couple furniture around you as you clutch your head in pain, trying to make the sounds stop and it only gets progressively worse until the episode is over. For some reason. This feels familiar to me. 10/10 would make myself mentally unwell again with this
kikuo’s old method was taking rlly fucked up concepts and making them sound adorable, but his new method is taking pretty innocent concepts and making them sound fucking terrifying
This song is about drug abuse-
To pertain to the fact that this could be interpreted as drug abuse, basically, he evolved in the opposite way that Neru did. Neru started his popularity (key word popularity, not music in general) with incredibly dark, heavy, and brooding songs that many people could relate to, and slowly transitioned to upbeat and less rock-oriented songs with just as dark of a subject matter.
Kikuo started with very soft and cutesy songs with dark subject matter, and slowly but surely, his songs started to represent their meanings. It’s pretty interesting!
The songs about drug abuse and then overdosing
i mean drug abuse isnt as terrible as the other things kikuo writes about
like its one of the b e t t e r one if u get what im sayin
Innocent? This song is about drug abuse.

AGREED.
This reminds me of dementia. My mother who used to work with dementia patients described it as “Losing yourself until you’re back into the mental state of a child.” Which for me explains the reversing track, wish to relive ‘the good old days’ and abrupt joyful descriptions of cotton candy. Something that is obviously synonymous with childhood and innocence. At the end of the track it all reverses until the music dies completely which for me represents the way dementia usually ends. Complete loss of self and eventual death.
Thats how my favorite grandfather died man and that really summed it up.. Thanks for the accidental explanation
Dementia is such a big term, it’s not really about losing yourself until you’re back into the mental state of a child, but it can be. Dementia is more like Alzheimer. But your way of thinking is really interesting i like it
@Magicant that's the thing about music though, especially Kikuo's. It can be interpreted in different ways, so to call one theory 'lame' or 'unimaginative' because many people agree with it is a bit unfair.
i work in senior care and we often describe it as an onion, where every layer is a level of how socialized you are. starting from birth until the dementia starts to set in. when it does it just starts peeling back layers of socialization until you’re back where you started and you essentially have no sense of shame or a social “right and wrong.” because, yknow, onions have layers.

@@torrent Not at all, but this song feels much more... floaty than all the others. His use of jarring flat notes is extra clever here.
clouds just b like that
distorted music makes us scared cause it makes us think there's something wrong
This song literally made me anxious as if I'm being watched or something,
But for some reason listening to this at night calms me.
This sounds like my dimension is being ripped apart by the spot from spiderverse.
Literally that's what made me felt at first! I even couldn't listen to the song due to the headache and diziness. But... when I started to understand the meaning behind and listen to it repeatedly, I even started to like it. Not gonna lie... I would describe it (especially the last chorus) as the same diziness as when taking drugs... even if I never consumed any in my whole life, haha

The reversed parts make me wonder how the song sounds reversed.
I don't know if its just supposed to sound distorted since the meaning behind the song is about death from overdose on drugs
Xhianil I already tried that. It sounds even more distorted
Gacha Oreo OMG YALLS PFP-
It became a horror soundtrack
omg
kikuo’s been making his songs more horror SOUNDING and honestly? im on board
I love the more low key horror direction he's going in. Its so artistic and intersting and honestly i just love it
It's so spooky
It kinda sounds like those more old songs like Children of Infinite Hell
some of his older songs used to be like this!! i’m glad he’s taken back to it!

im not so sure about that! the distortion is more what im talking about. its pretty new!

I know kikuo's songs are all unsettling in their own cutesy way, but never once have I ever would say this one takes that whole 'cute but unsettling' to the next level. Like yes cute cloud fluffy cotton candy uwu but when the beat drops, all hell breaks lose and i am *ｓｃａｒｅｄ*
mostly near the end too, i listened to this in a car as my first time hearing it, and it was _fear_

"cute cloud fluffy cotton candy uwu" LMAFOOO
ｓａｍｅ
gomenne gomenne sitting here like 😐😐😐😐
imo this song's about someone remembering their childhood (or just a better time in general) and using drugs to get the high ((happiness/innocence/whatever) they felt back then (cotton candy is the nice feeling of sweetness of the high, but when they were happy this feeling was all the time) considering how distorted the song gets by the end, i figure they die from an overdose from using too much of the drug to feel happy again
wow thats dark 11/10 😩👌👌
The cloud disappearing could be symbolism for death.
My way of thinking it is some child being lured with candy by a predator. I like yours better
ngl that reminds me of emergence
... HOW DO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS WELL?
The unsettling parts of his song’s comforts me to no end. It feels like my childhood. I realize when I was young the entire time I was floating and not really present. Like a narrator in my own life

@@JaxonVRTheMonkeh Better question: how does it not scare people? If not the song, then its premise? If not its premise or the song itself, then its real world parallels? It's kina terrifying to think about how some people are one bad day or event away from turning to drugs and/or overdosing, much like the character in the song.

This song isn't about something in specific, in my opinion. It's just about a vague return to a childlike state. Sure, the drug theory is good, but in my opinion it's not the only truth in the song. It's vague on purpose. In my first listen, I came up with another theory, that it's about closing yourself off from being an adult, and just sheltering yourself into being a kid, unready to face the true horrors of the world. The drug theory is equally valid still, but more than anything we should praise this song for being able to express multiple meanings at once.
Another interpretation can be that the cloud is brainfog, and then many things can follow: it could be a song about dementia, too, or ADHD. There's so many things this is, let's just take it as art.
That's actually an excellent, unique story

Undertones? I thought they were quarter tones
I like to think this is about staying stuck in childhood memories, trying to go back to that innocence but your memories becoming distorted and tainted with time and bitterness. Every thing was like cotten candy back then, but as you grow up you percieve the world differently. Those memories are tainted with new understanding and looking back you just feel sad looking at them. Though, I also like the drug theory, fits much better than mine
@Maya Franklin I totally agree. I think people are taking a very surface level approach when they claim that the metaphors in this song somehow refer to drug use. Judging by the overall tone of the album, and knowing Kikuo's catalogue, and the things he generally writes about, makes op's interpretation much more plausible, imo.
I like your interpretation better because I relate to it
its about both, the cloud represents their pain and so they turn to drugs to feel that happiness as a kid and the drug is like cotton candy to them. As they do that the cloud grows and their depression worsens because they cant go back to their childhood so they continue to go to drugs and everything is slowing down around them. At the end they eventually die from overdosing because it was too much for them to handle and they never really got back that happiness and only destroyed them. Its terrifying and sad and the most disturbing thing ive ran into on the internet even after seeing gore.
I like more the drug theory... But yours is really poetic :"3

I listened to this with headphones while a blanket was covering me (including my head) and after a while a sense of legitimate terror seized over me. I knew when the song would end, I knew I didn't have much longer, but I was still boutta throw my headphones and the blanket off. It's the musical equivalent (well, some parts are more about sound design than actual 'music' I think?) of a fuckin horror movie and I love it.

この歌は私に奇妙な感情を与える
Well here's a theory I made about the history of the song:
An important detail that we must take into account is to listen to the rhythm of the music and ignore the lyrics for a while, at the beginning while she compares drugs with sweets, a sharp and very low rhythm of music is heard which causes a sensation of tranquility but later that tranquility turns into something chaotic which could represent how the "drugs" (or that thought that overwhelms her) are already affecting her but something equally important is that among all that noise objects are heard breaking (like all that noise they resemble crying), what made me most interesting of the whole song was the end since the way in which she says that I want to go back to the past and the distortion of the music could try to imply how her perception of reality is already he was going and the whisper seemed to be trying to tell us a secret (he does this in almost the entire song, more when he says he wants to go back to the past but there are times when he screams maybe because inside he is (She knows that we all want to go back to the past, which is why it's no longer a secret, or maybe it's just her desperation), another thing that was interesting to me was the fact that if you put the song on a loop, it seemed that what happened had nothing to do with it. end and yes I know that the utility of the loop is that but pay attention to the silence at the beginning and at the end it seems that the song is made for that to repeat itself and have no end.
Theory 1:
We can assume that the person singing the song is probably a teenager, something important that we must take into account is that throughout the song she compares her overdose with cotton candy, that could mean that for her that is something that she likes, it is something that makes her feel "comfortable" since she always says how soft and sweet she is and how she wants more of that, so the girl seems to be talking to someone we do not know who she is talking to but it may be that she is imagining that she is with someone she has loved That is why she says that she would like to go back to those past times, or maybe she is talking to herself, her little self, that could explain why she compares drugs and her overdose with sweets (since it would be like a reflection of her innocence) the fact that she wants to return to that stage of her life means that she just wants to return to having the ability to warp her world with her imagination to see everything happily and without any bad things without having to use drugs, probably her life began to go very wrong and when she grew up she saw everything differently, a more "realistic" way, realizing that not everything is the fantasy world that she believed in, which causes her tremendous pain but at the same time she knows that she can't do anything to change her reality or so she believed until for unknown reasons she got some drugs which she started taking to be able to see the world like when she was just a girl which apparently everything repeated itself in a loop endlessly until the moment of his death.
Theory 2:
The song uses drugs as a metaphor to refer to a thought that does not leave her alone that is destroying her but she knows that but still she continues to have it and does not seek help (because in a certain way thinking that makes her happy, but the destroys) I consider that probably as in theory 1 she is not talking to someone outside but to herself with her little self (it could represent her innocence and her happiness), we should still pay attention in Kikuo's original video since they show us at first a small ball of smoke that seems happy and in the moments of noise of the song it becomes bigger and bigger and almost almost takes over the entire screen I think it's obvious that it could mean the way in which that thought that comes being soft and sweet can take over her and the screaming could mean how she doesn't want that as it may be a bad thought (probably committing suicide or hurting other people as she can't stand to see her happiness, but that thought of hating the happiness of others eats away at her inside and doesn't leave her alone since she knows it's wrong), but there is something that is when she says to give her more cotton, then she says "I want to go back to the old times" and this confirms my theory that she wants to be little again, that stage where she could see everything in a different way and not affect her, the way she says "unhappy cotton candy" is very interesting to me since she probably I hated her little self for changing and not always being in her fantasy world where she saw everything perfectly, I still think that the noise parts could mean how she just fakes her smile and tries to see everything in a different way, to see the world as her little self saw it, but she does not achieve it completely since in the background we hear crying and things breaking, making us understand that no matter what she does, the world is not going to change for her.

To those who are saying this is dementia or amnesia this is not about disorders this is about drug addiction and trauma at 0:58 the smoke said "Please give me lots of cotton candy.......Just like the old days " a person apparently pointed out this is about a girl who remembered her childhood memories and decided to drink a lot of pills and the distortion at the end seems to be her dying from overdose

I love how kikuo makes his music deep and meaningful. I've seen many comments saying he has helped with the meanings behind his songs. I love how some melodies sound adorable and innocent and the lyrics just being eeire and disturbing but understandable and relatable (most) and how some of them sound creepy and the lyrics being creepy and eerie. all of his songs are twisted, deep and meaningful and I honestly think hes amazing. Thats kikuo for you lmao
The reason it might be unsettling is that it uses notes in between the notes (microtones/quarter tones)

It disappeared quickly
The sad cotton candy
My head always goes empty, empty
To the old days, to the old days, please let me go back to that time
Give it back
Cotton candy, cotton candy
*ぎゅ is an onomatopoeia for squeezing sounds or stomach growls, I chose the fist one since the lyrics seems to imply there's a pack of cotton candy
@Blythe Foster-Wagamon Oh, I didn't notice! Thanks a lot, I'll edit it!
You are doing the work of a god, thank you!
Thank you! ❤️
thank u! =)
hi i luv u thanks!!!!
うちのクラスで「わたあめ」って曲怖いって言ってて、見にきてみたらきくおさんの曲だった…
その調子で校内全部に広げてくれっっ！
そいつ有能
I can definitely say that this is one of kikuo's most harmless songs in the lyrics
the song is about a drug overdose lol
@@saucemaster6452 sarcasm my friend
@@vii896 oh ok lol
the only way i can describe this is as comforting discomfort and honestly i love it
ライブで聞いた時は「頭の中はだあれ？」って言ってるのかと思ってた。
わたあめって言ってたのか…
Haruyu もしかしてそういう意味…？
らぽ 何それ怖い…
Haruyu 確かにそう聞こえるなぁ…狙ってるのか偶然かわかんないな
Man- haven’t heard a genuinely unsettling Kikuo track in a while. I can only imagine what the English lyrics to this are...
EDIT: y’all it’s been two months, I know the vid has subtitles lmao
It’s anything but cotton candy, that’s for sure.
I translated it (for the most part) and I think it's about someone that wants to go back in time and be a kid again before they "disappear" (die)
The english lyrics make me think about somekind of an addict who's going through withdrawal and needs more, and wants to go back in time to the days they weren't addicted... The "cotton candy" obviously not actually being cotton candy but some other substance maybe
honey, you got a big storm comin' *claps in creepy*
Captions will tell you
鳥肌が立つけど完成された音楽だから気分がいい
Drugs, PTSD, dementia, depression, missing your childhood innocence, I think all of those theories are correct. The song is about the dissociation and confusion and “cotton filled brain” feeling those things cause.
The whole song sounds like it's going backwards and i love it, it's like time is rewinding and everything that once existed is now being unborn and uncreated, leaving nothing...

Kikuo is honestly one of the most creative and unique vocaloid producer. Vocaloid producers are all pretty similar.
I know, you can instantly discern a kikou song from a group
i love how kikuo's songs can be interpreted in a variety of ways
これは……もしやドラック……？
不思議な浮遊感と不安と、心地良さがさすがきくおさんですね！
確かに何回も聞きに来ちゃいますからある意味ドラック...？

If you're an Autistic person (person with Autism Spectrum Disorder) or are particularly sensitive to sounds be CAREFUL with this track yo! I'm Autistic, and I can tank this song like it's NOTHING, but I've noticed others get so dizzy/disoriented that they fall out of their chair. It's a shame cuz I feel so strongly about this track that I want to show it around, but this track is potentially dangerous. What a masterpiece! It's like the bridge between noise music, and music music.
ack my eyes and ears ✨️ 👀 ✨️ 💙 owie
Yea am autistic 2. 😅
this song makes me irrationally anxious. something is cominf 😭😭😭
かわいいのに不安を注入されてる感じ、好きだなあ…
1:00 well this is different from usual
It's like the whole world is falling apart
I'm not really sure, but I suppose this feeling of unsettlingness is created by not sticking to a specific key, or by the use of microtones, and it's wonderful.
Your the third person that knows about the microtones in this song 👍
if you reverse the polarity of one side of the tracks, then overlay them together into a mono track, then play it in reverse, you can hear repeated "もどして"s playing in some of the noisy sections pretty clearly(you can actually sorta hear them near 2:38 going left then right then left)
also there is a part that sounds the same in reverse
at first, i thought this song was so unsettling and creepy, and couln't listen to it. now it's just a bop. like... damn the beat drop goes hard though.
The first time I listened to this I was so unsettled, but now I just keep replaying it.. HELP
Yup that beat drop is killer
Kinda reminds me of death grips in the weirdest way
Bruh when I first listened to this song on spotify, I thought it was dope.
Same. It still scares me a bit and I definitely would not listen to this in the night, but it sounds awesome, similar to how I feel with Okaasan.
I love the creepy theme, but at the same time mikus voice is cute. I love the beat behind it-this song is awesome. That's the tea sis
Is "That's the tea sis" an Inside Joke between you and your sister? Or am I uncultured?
@@V.F.D.DaleSalvador You are uncultured
Lol you are indeed uncultured
UA-cam made a mix for me saying that this is pop music
HEL PEM
@aylaa_qunn huh
Jaaaa c mamo
I love how this song gives you a feeling of "this sounds nice and calm" perfectly mixed with "something is wrong here".
Edit: and depression
this is just how i like to think of the song, but here's my input-
i think it sounds like the character in this song is in some sort of hospital, or even dead- the song has a sort of passing feeling to it. shes trying to stuff her head with 'cotton candy' or 'the good old days' to try and remember herself or who she was before she died. but with no one to talk to or interact with, the memories- or cotton candy- become more distorted, being described as sad, and how the music in the second half of the song becomes more distorted as well. it represents how her memories are breaking down into hellish visions, and it's all she has left. she loses sight of herself and as seen in the last part of the song, puffs up so much that she evaporates, truly breaking. thats just my take on the song, though.
DARK
That's actually very dark-
holy
I have the sneaking suspicion that this "cotton candy" can be interpreted as brains, judging by "頭のなかわたあめ"
10/10, Kikuo.
I feel as if it's drugs..
I feel like it represents happy thoughts or happiness... and maybe drugs or something even worse is the singer's way of trying to get their happiness back.
Thinking of this song playing in my head, the more distorted part I mean, while I’m dying is crazy. Like it makes me teary-eyed for some odd reason..
