People giving theories, which is cool! But here's what the song is really about: In the 1900's in Japan and China, if I remember correctly, there were many incidents where mothers would leave their children in Coin Lockers. This would lead to workers eventually opening the lockers (To clean them out) And find the babies. Many cases the children were alive. But there have been multiple occurrences where the babies were dead inside the lockers. So there. Now you know what a "Coin Locker Baby" is.
A small detail. "Sayonara" is usually used as a goodbye when you won't see a person for a very long time. So when Miku says "Sayonara" to her baby, she expected the baby to be gone or dead. So she won't ever see the baby again.
This song, from my understanding, is about Miku becoming a parent at a young age, but she's not ready for it yet. So, she follows the East Asia phenomenon of abandoning her unwanted child in a public coin locker at a local train station, along with all of her sad, depressing, and unwanted memories. The child is eventually heard crying, and someone saves it, but it didn't have a nice life after being abandoned, as expected. However, Miku matures in the next few months and becomes pregnant again, this time with a child she wants and knows she can take care of. She goes to the coin locker where she abandoned the kid, but can't bring herself to open it out of guilt and realization that the kid is most likely dead in there or somewhere else after being saved. While Miku lives a happy life with her husband and more kids, the child grows up, but was never quite right in the head, most likely because of his upbringing. He eventually learns somehow that he was abandoned in a coin locker by the station and what his mother looks like, but that's about it. He begins to wait at the station each day for his mother to come, seeing more babies abandoned at the station quite frequently, which makes the child begin to lose his sanity. One day, Miku shows up at the train station, smiling and laughing, pregnant again with her husband right next to the railroad tracks, waiting for the train that was quickly approaching. Upon seeing his mother, the kid sneaks up behind her and pushes her onto the tracks of the oncoming train. Miku most likely dies by the hand of her abandoned child. This is only my theory, though.
+Maddie Whelan My personal theory is the same up to the point where she abandons the baby, but I think this story is a bit darker than that. I think that Miku got cold feet, but when she opened the locker again, the baby was dead. From there, she had another child, but depending on how you interpret the ending, either she's "haunted" by guilt, thus never allowing her to be truly happy, or she's literally haunted, with the baby coming back as a vengeful spirit.
It's actually a Japanese urban legend about a young girl who gets pregnant and ends up birthing the child. However the father does not acknowledge the kid leading the girl to find out about his wife and child, then being desperate she abandons the kid in a coin locker. Later on she ends up marrying a man and goes back to the station seeing a kid crying she had walked over and asked where their mom was. Which the child responded," it's you."
+Cherry Childe ohh wow that sounds kind of like the Child ballad 'The Cruel Mother' (aka 'The Greenwood Side') in which a woman gets pregnant with twins but she's unmarried and the man doesn't want a scandal or anything so she goes into the forest, gives birth to the children, and then drowns them (or buries them alive, in a couple versions). On her way home, she sees two ragged twin boys playing alone in the forest and proclaims to them that if they were hers she would dress them in fine clothing and give them good food to eat. They reply that they had been hers and she had done no such thing; rather, she had murdered them. And they generally go on to talk about how she'll go to hell and all that and she's very upset and sometimes dies. Come to think of it, La Llorona is a little like that, too. What is it with all these old legends with ladies killing their kids? what the heck.
This is about 1900’s in China and Japan, mother would leave their baby’s/kids in coin lockers, the workers would open the lockers, to clean them out. And find babys/kids in the lockers, most alive, some died. There probably been many comments talking about this. Just incase you forgot or didn’t know, I came here to tell you, of course there’s other comments with more information I probably forgot about.
The producer of this song, Maretu, also has a whole lot of other songs with creepy as hell lyrics, but they're super catchy. I think FreedomT1 subs has all the songs subbed, if you want to see more.
Here’s some *fun* history for you! In the late 1900s, Japan was lacking proper abortion care and adoption centers, which meant properly dealing with unwanted children was both difficult and risky for the mothers. Because of both the cost and undesirable social effects of both options, mothers would place their newborns into coin operated lockers near train stations, which happened to be both just big enough and farther away from crowds. It’s rumored that some mothers did this under the assumption that lockers were regularly checked, and that their child (if not already killed) would be found. Majority of babies were male newborns and typically found 1-3 months after death via asphyxiation. To reduce the smell and carnage of the bodies, mothers would wrap the babies in plastic to suffocate and prepare them for the locker. This would make it less likely for them to be caught, especially if they placed the dead child in an additional bag. For a while it worked in the parents favor, as by the time anyone checked the lockers (or the lockers weren’t being paid for) it could be very difficult to gather information and track the mother down. The term “coin-operated locker baby” was popularized in 1975 and covered in news, but the rate of these deaths wouldn’t slow down until the early 80s. From that time to the 90s, nearly 200 dead children were discovered. This lead to coin lockers being assigned patrols and the lockers themselves being placed closer to people. It also started new anti-child neglect programs and laws, as well as schools teaching more about contraception and safe sex. From my research, I haven’t been able to find any records of a coin locker baby surviving, aside from a case of child neglect in which a couple left their child in a locker so they could go to dinner. Nowadays there are few known recent cases of coin locker babies, though they do happen every few years, with one being as recent as June 2022. *TLDR;* yes coin locker babies are real, and yes, it’s as fucked up as you would imagine.
From the ending bit, I'm guessing that the spirit of the coin locker baby saw its mother now married and pregnant again, this time with a child that was wanted and would be given the love it was never given, and decided to get revenge... And since she happened to be standing near a train crossing with train approaching... well, we can guess what probably happened next.
Some backstory: Coin Locker Babies are unwanted children abandoned in the coin locks of stations and such. They're put in there with the presumption that staff or such will go in and check what's in there, but of course, they often don't and the child often dies in the coin lock.
i see people theorizing that the coin locker baby is the one with white hair, and they grew up and found out that their mother is pregnant again and killed the mother (by pushing her in front of a train, at the end) however: look at the one minute mark, till around ten seconds after that. the white-haired kid is looking into a locker, looking down at a baby. i dont think that the white-haired kid was the baby in the coin locker- at least, not the one shown in the song. maybe they feel for the baby cause they, too, were a coin locker baby. yeah, i think thats what happened, cause they are shown to also be in a locker at one point, and there's tons of other stuff to symbolize their connection to being a coin locker baby. i think they killed the pregnant lady out of, like... vengeance. Cause the baby was already dead, too. So they opened the locker to find a dead baby, then later saw the mom go back for the baby but it was too late. then, LATER later, they saw the mom pregnant and thought it was unfair, so they killed her. That's my take, anyway. I could be reading too much into the scene where they look down into the locker, maybe that was just supposed to be symbolism of them pitying themselves and it didnt actually happen lol
A bit after the minute mark there’s a pic of a baby with what looks like a bracelet and then the kid in the white shows the same color and shape of that bracelet on his hair
Fun fact: there’s an urban legend in Japan that a woman once put her baby in a coin locker when she couldn’t take care of it and couldn’t let anyone in her family know she had a child out of wedlock. It was traumatic and she tried to forget, and years later when she revisited the train station that she used the coin locker for, she found a young boy crying alone. When she went over to help and comfort him she asked “Where’s your mother?” And angrily, the boy yelled “It’s YOU!”
@@rawcookiedough7518 _''A few years later, workmen were doing some renovation on the train station. When they removed some of the coin lockers, they found something very puzzling inside… The skeletal remains of a young woman and a baby.''_ That is how the urban legend ends and the answer to what happened to the woman.
Coin Locker Baby: *A song about a mother shoving her unwanted baby into a coin locker to die* Cosplayers: *It's free real estate* (Quick disclaimer: I am a cosplayer and can confirm lol)
An Aoi cosplayer did that. Everybody in the comment section said "this is so good it's cannon" but little did they know the song was about shutting babies in coin lockers
When i first watched this i thought it was about hiding your emotions and “stuffing it in a locker” but honestly stuffing babies in lockers makes alot more sense
Better sex-education, Japan. Though it's not the only country that has a weird phobia against such things. If we want to be better societies with better life quality it should happen though.
Tbh the theories where the kid is actually alive make zero sense to me (and also considering the actual things this is based on), so here's what i have to say: Of course, the beginning is clear - this woman, presumably way too young to be having a kid of her own, who (considering how east asia views abortion/contraceptives) got pregnant and couldn't get rid of the child before it was born. Father was deadbeat, didn't want it either. So, when the baby is born, she locks it in a coin locker, along with all of her regret, guilt, and the 'love' she had with the person who she conceived the kid with. She makes excuses to herself, saying she's too busy, the baby is too needy, etc. to rationalize locking her literal child in a coin locker. Over time, she slowly realizes what she did is horrible, hence her getting 'cold feet', and goes back to the locker and opens it, to find the baby dead ('i was too late, i couldn't make it') - the bridge lines 'it's fallen completely apart, blotched and ugly, stained with filth, unprotected', is describing the state of the child when she finds it, and based on her says the baby has 'fallen apart', we can assume she left it long enough for it to be in at least the early stages of decomposition. This most probably traumatized her (because i think we'd all be traumatized if we saw a decomposing baby in a coin locker), and she started hallucinating her child, 'growing' alongside her, to try and cope with her guilt. She tries to move on, and, as we see in the video, she gets pregnant again, now ready and wanting to do right by the kid and give them the life her 'coin locker baby' never had. However, her guilt has been slowly eating at her over all of this time, and one day, at the train tracks, she sees the hallucination of her dead baby again (possibly laughing at/mocking her, since the believes the baby has a 'deep-seated grudge' against her, and she says it's 'laughing in another world'), and she's so overtaken by grief that she jumps onto the tracks, killing herself. This is my theory, since the 'unhinged child' theory doesn't make sense - there would be no way the baby, even if it did survive, and even if the adoptive parents/federal housing TOLD the child they were a coin locker baby, would know who the mother was, because she anonymously dumped them in the locker. It just doesn't make any sense.
Am I late? Or well My theory The girl wanted a baby and a wonderful family, but she was still too young. They had it and had to keep a secret. Her boyfriend did not want the baby but she did, but she had to chose one her son, or boyfriend. She chose her boyfriend. To feel better about going to kill the child she referred to him as needy and troublesome and locked him in a locker to die. Deep down she still loved the child. Even still after she did that, he did not love her anymore and her dream was falling apart. Eventually she became older and found a new man, probably her husband, to have a child with. The spirit of her old child misunderstood everything and believed she did not love her and was jealous there was a new child who was going to live. Conveniently, she was infront of train tracks.
That's a beautiful theory :D But what do you mean with spirit ? Do you think the baby is dead or still alive I'm quite curious :D I love hearing theories from other people and also form my own ^3^
In a nutshell: Teen girl gets with an older guy They have a baby Older guy leaves her Teen girl remembers she's too young to have a baby Teen girl kills baby and puts it in a Coin Locker Baby becomes a ghost Baby scares her onto the train tracks She dead
Old comment but I think it's worth adding a plotpoint that the teen girl "got cold feet" and changed her mind. She tried to save the baby but couldn't make it in time.
Quick story about this song- A certain part of the song has tapping noises that you can only really hear when wearing headphones So.. . The first time I listened to this song I thought someone was at my window and almost called the cops-
that gave me an idea like a normal murder but the victim was shoved in a locker afterwards so the unlucky student who had them in their locker would be a big suspect
I think we can take this song as a word of caution when it comes to things like human rights. During the 1980s when this was taking place, there wasn’t a whole lot of reproductive health stuff going around. Naturally since the government wasn’t helping, country’s like China and Japan ended up with a little issue called… “coin locker babies”. Let’s not take away sexual health education, planned parenthood, and abortion away from people because of some false sense of baby preservation justice. Reproductive rights are human rights. Like coin locker babies are dead.
I was wondering why it was so dark and the song sounded familiar and about early pregnancy & s*x... Until I clicked the replay button is where I saw that the song was made by Maretu... *facepalm* xD
Here my theory : The backround story is about a young girl (probably a high school student). This girl slept with an older man who's already married and end up being pregnant. In her naive mind it's perfect. The man will be forced to stay with her and raise the children growing in her womb. But it's not that easy and the man seems to make her understand that if she by mistake is pregnant then he will just be tired of her. So she don't say anything about the baby and somehow wish he would never live outside of her stomac. She is scared of throwing away her child but she know that she will never be able to raise it happily. In the end she decided to say goodbye and put the baby in a coin locker where he infortunatly dies. But her sacrifice was vain, the men end their relationship and she feels broken. She cowardly go back to the coin locker because she could never forget about her child but it was too late. But for me there is an another deep meaning , the baby thought. Yes, because even if he didn't survived, the song suggest that he had his own perception of the event, represented by the white haired boy. Everything is wrong for him, he didn't had the time to feel the warmth of his mother love and ask her why did she abandonned him in this little locker, why did she made him leaver her womb and lead him to his death. Through the video we see some symbol remembering reincarnation ( the red colored string attached to a baby hand at 1:05 ; The words "karmic cycle of life", also the foetus .) He died but his "soul" stayed because of the sadness and anger he feel about this unfairness. His only wish is being loved and take back the life he didn't had. Many years passed and he find his mother at the same place she left him. She rebuilt her life and she is pregnant . For him it's the perfect occasion, to restart everything and finally getting the chance to obtain his perfect family. The smile in the end may show how much satisfied he is to reach his goal and also show how much longer he waited with his sadness and anger deem inside
Imagine if there was a movie about Coin locker baby's mom? It would be something like; A Japanese (or Chinese) women had a baby that she wanted to keep but couldn't due to her being a single mom, and financially unstable, and shoved the baby in the Coin locker, she cried for days soon days because of what she's done, but she knows that once she's done it she can't go back. Just a few years later she has another baby with a man she's married to, but the baby she now has keeps reminding her of her beloved Coin locker baby, from this she gets flashbacks and sees the ghost of her Coin locker baby. Until one day she finally loses it, and ends herself hoping to now be a part of her Coin locker baby's life.
Fun fact, this isn’t the only way people would get rid of their babies. In some parts of Asia if the baby is born a girl they will drop it off of a high Cliff. I’m pretty sure there was a specific mountain they would do this at but I’m not sure about that part.
This is one of the reasons that I’m scared of pregnancy Not the song itself, but the idea of an unwanted pregnancy and having no way out of it other than to abandon the child
he didnt have a chance to call her "mother" though. probably "she who gave birth to me in shame and killed me by abandoning me to rot in a coin locker"
When you are young like Miku was in the video, no one thinks much about protection or counter-conception. Because she was so young, she thinks about the moment and nothing else. Then, she gets pregnant. People might be too embarrassed to go into an abortion clinic, or they might just not have enough money in the first place to get an abortion. But anyone had access to coin lockers, where they put the child 'to rest' forever. It's not always a matter of, "I wasn't thinking about birth control so I put my baby in a locker," it could be that the mother was sexually assulted and wants no part of remembering it. Please, don't think I'm encouraging coin locker babies, I'm merely explaining the phenomena.
i feel this song as a warning about what happens in actual real life, people putting unwanted children they're not ready for into coin lockers. Very common actually. (forgot to add but it was very common back then)
This song is so dark, but when it doesn't sound like it and you don't pay attention to the lyrics, it's hard to tell. I love that about vocaloid, it can be utterly horrific and we could never notice.
Problem is it's stuff like that which leads to idiots not doing their research and dancing to them calling them cute songs (this, Kikuo songs, other Maretu songs... it's horrifying)
Don't mind me, I'm just interpreting the lyrics "Bundling up this virtually nonexistent secret between us, and into the locker it goes" Miku is keeping her pregnancy a secret, she is only a teen so her parents would be upset "Bundling up the fruit of our love, too, and into the locker it goes" Miku is stuffing her kid in the coin locker "Thus I tried to refill my heart with a delusional happiness, by locking it up" She wanted to keep her kid but couldn't, because her parents would be mad that she had you know what with a guy "(I have so much work to do, I’m really busy)" Miku is saying this while pregnant, we are hearing this in the unborn child's point of view "Any unwanted burden? O-o-o-o-off it goes" That unwanted burden is the child "Bundling up all the sensations at the very tips of my fingers, and into the locker they go" I have no hecking idea what this means "Bundling up all the emotions scraped out from my throat, and into the locker they go" Miku is going through a hard time and she's feeling a lot of negative emotions "You’re too needy, I don’t have any need for you. So what? What’s wrong with that, huh?" Miku is saying that to the child to feel better "(Let’s rid ourselves of this troublesome secret)" Miku's telling the guy she woohood with that she is getting rid of her kid "So irresponsible, what you said…!" This might be the guy, telling Miku to have common sense and put her kid off for adoption "Well then, goodbye, goodbye, my coin locker baby Come, vent your deep-seated grudge" Miku is saying this to her baby but she knows that if the kid survives he will hate her for what she did (obviously) "One after another, the seeds rushed into the mix, quiveringly, trying to raise their budding heads" One word: fertilization "But I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my coin locker baby. Come, burn to a crisp your karmic cycle of life" She's saying sorry to her kid. Burn to a crisp your karmic cycle of life might mean that if the baby dies in the coin locker, he won't have to suffer knowing that he was abandoned "Escaping from all pains, you fled into the world of dreams, laughing from that place removed from reality…" The baby is saved and adopted "Bundling up all the sensations from the nerves on my back, and into the locker they go" I have no hecking idea what this means either "Bundling up all the emotions spat out from the phone, and into the locker they go" Miku may have hooked up with this guy on some kind of dating app "I’m taking a step back to get a good look at this virtually nonexistent secret between us bundling up the tangled evidence of our love, and into the locker it goes again" Miku feels bad and takes back the baby, but then puts him back in the locker "Humans can’t help growing old, like oil can’t help growing cold? So what? What’s wrong with that, huh?" The baby has become a child "(We’ve rid ourselves of that troublesome secret)" She got rid of her kid "Come on, just tell me you love me already…!" The child knows what Miku did and believes she hated him "An injured heart, and a broken dream" The injured heart means the kid is heartbroken, after all, he knows he was left to die and the broken dream is Miku's, she wanted to raise The him but couldn't "I tried to bring back the precious feeling I once had, but it’s fallen completely apart, blotched and ugly" I don't know what the precious feeling means but I think the other part is talking about the kid's mental state "stained with filth, unprotected, inside" Again, his mental state "I waited and waited, but in the end, when I got cold feet, it was a little too late. I couldn’t make it…" She goes to the coin locker a third time to get the baby, but he was taken "(Goodbye, goodbye, my coin locker baby. Come, vent your deep-seated grudge One after another, the seeds rushed into the mix, quiveringly, trying to raise their budding heads.)" The child remembers the song Miku was singing "Well then" The child is saying this "goodbye, goodbye, my coin locker baby. Come, vent your deep-seated grudge. One after another, the seeds rushed into the mix, quiveringly, trying to raise their budding heads." The child is angrily mocking miku "But I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my coin locker baby. Come, burn to a crisp your karmic cycle of life." Miku is apologizing "Escaping from all pains, you fled into the world of dreams. As you dozed off with a smile still on your lips" The child walks away smiling as Miku gets ran over by a FREAKING TRAIN "your body’s gone cold…?!" The child doesn't regret what he did... Or Miku's body So, this is the moral of the story: don't leave you kid to die in a coin locker or they will push you into the path of an oncoming train if they survive and find you... And it's also a super scummy thing to do
“Building up all the sensations at the tips of my fingers, and into the locker they go” Basically, the lyrics are trying to say how she’s (not literally) ripping out her emotions and holding them at the tip of her fingers so she can shove it in a coin locker. the emotions would leave, or so she thinks, with he baby being stuffed in the locker. (i think)
Also, the precious feeling one means that the child was attempting to feel okay and content again; only for his mental state to become ‘blotched and ugly’
The first thing that came to mind when listening to this song is Ryu Murakami's "Coin Locker Babies" tbh. It's a pretty disturbing and surreal novel about coming-of-age
@@rawcookiedough7518 we dont actually know if the baby died after being put in the coin locker, maybe there was another meaning to the lyric that the mom got cold feet and went back for it but the baby was gone and the mom was thinking that they died but eventually they got found and rescued by one of the staffs, the white haired kid probably was the baby grown up.
From description, if you don't understand the meaning of this song: The story lore seems to be about the phenomenon in East Asian countries where unwanted babies are abandoned in public coin-operated lockers
all our secrets, we simply can't agree i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey overlapping, our love has intertwined i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey those happy feelings we shared only exist in our mind and in our hearts we would fold them up and pack them up tight (it's all because i am going out with some other guy) look here, a package from a stranger? must be trash, it's trash trash trash! passion flows through our finger tips and toes i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey passion gone, all escaped straight from our throats i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey trust me you don't need to come, it's just (un)necessary and on your identity, what do you think you believed?

I dont really understand why people keep using this song on tiktok as if it was cute. First of all its talking about a girl who leaves her kid in a locker because she was to young to have a child and once the child gets out of the locker he ends up seeing his mother with another man and another baby forgetting about him. And the fact on how people on tiktok are gonna think of this song cute
What a demented song. I say this with all the love in my heart. In addition to the obvious, I also think this song is about “kicking a can down the road”. It’s when you have a problem that should be acted on, but you don’t do anything about it and save it for later… and when later comes around, it’s an even bigger problem. Excellent song as always from Maretu.
What i think is happening here is that Miku did not want a child but her husband did (an injured heart and a broken dream) so Miku abandoned the kid in a coin locker. He was found (this can happen IRL as it was in public train stations) and saved, but remembered his mother. Meanwhile Miku had another abandoned kid, this time she tried to save but couldn’t. (…when I got cold feet, I couldn’t save them…) Then, third kid. Yeah. This one was still in the womb so Miku was pregnant. At the train station, the abandoned son found Miku and probably tried ending her life, as seen by the oncoming train signals and his appearance in the back. Probably ended up in the locker though.
this is song is the reason why i seriously got into vocaloid i remember watching world is mine and some mmd vids as a kid but they never caught me onto vocaloid until in 2019 thanks maretu
idk if this is a glitch, but it says 4:27 minutes long,but when it's past 3:52 and you skip,it just ends. and theres something at the end that you can watch yourself.
The drum in the background when it's from the babies perspective is kinda haunting like imagine being shoved in a locker and all you here is drum getting closer. Its cool be creepy
My theory: the white haired kid was a coin locker baby. The black haired school girl was their mom. She left them to die. The white haired hid wants to be loved, but never gets that from their mom because she left them to die. (When she got cold feet and came back she thought her baby was dead, but in reality they were rescued.) The kid grows up knowing they were left to die and convinces more people to leave their babies to die so that they could feel the pain that they felt. At the end they're seen eyeing an expecting mother as a train is coming, i believe that they decided to start killing expecting mothers as a sort of revenge to their own mom, and out of jealousy.
what really happened in the end is probably not the child that survived and pushed her onto the tracks, but more of a metaphor pointing at her suicide due to the deresion that buld up due to her acts
People giving theories, which is cool! But here's what the song is really about:
In the 1900's in Japan and China, if I remember correctly, there were many incidents where mothers would leave their children in Coin Lockers. This would lead to workers eventually opening the lockers (To clean them out) And find the babies. Many cases the children were alive. But there have been multiple occurrences where the babies were dead inside the lockers.
So there. Now you know what a "Coin Locker Baby" is.

A small detail.
"Sayonara" is usually used as a goodbye when you won't see a person for a very long time. So when Miku says "Sayonara" to her baby, she expected the baby to be gone or dead. So she won't ever see the baby again.

This song, from my understanding, is about Miku becoming a parent at a young age, but she's not ready for it yet. So, she follows the East Asia phenomenon of abandoning her unwanted child in a public coin locker at a local train station, along with all of her sad, depressing, and unwanted memories. The child is eventually heard crying, and someone saves it, but it didn't have a nice life after being abandoned, as expected. However, Miku matures in the next few months and becomes pregnant again, this time with a child she wants and knows she can take care of. She goes to the coin locker where she abandoned the kid, but can't bring herself to open it out of guilt and realization that the kid is most likely dead in there or somewhere else after being saved. While Miku lives a happy life with her husband and more kids, the child grows up, but was never quite right in the head, most likely because of his upbringing. He eventually learns somehow that he was abandoned in a coin locker by the station and what his mother looks like, but that's about it. He begins to wait at the station each day for his mother to come, seeing more babies abandoned at the station quite frequently, which makes the child begin to lose his sanity. One day, Miku shows up at the train station, smiling and laughing, pregnant again with her husband right next to the railroad tracks, waiting for the train that was quickly approaching. Upon seeing his mother, the kid sneaks up behind her and pushes her onto the tracks of the oncoming train. Miku most likely dies by the hand of her abandoned child. This is only my theory, though.
+Maddie Whelan My personal theory is the same up to the point where she abandons the baby, but I think this story is a bit darker than that. I think that Miku got cold feet, but when she opened the locker again, the baby was dead. From there, she had another child, but depending on how you interpret the ending, either she's "haunted" by guilt, thus never allowing her to be truly happy, or she's literally haunted, with the baby coming back as a vengeful spirit.
***** That's a good theory, I like the whole "vengeful spirit" thing. Nice profile pic, by the way.
+Maddie Whelan Thanks!
It's actually a Japanese urban legend about a young girl who gets pregnant and ends up birthing the child. However the father does not acknowledge the kid leading the girl to find out about his wife and child, then being desperate she abandons the kid in a coin locker. Later on she ends up marrying a man and goes back to the station seeing a kid crying she had walked over and asked where their mom was. Which the child responded," it's you."
+Cherry Childe ohh wow that sounds kind of like the Child ballad 'The Cruel Mother' (aka 'The Greenwood Side') in which a woman gets pregnant with twins but she's unmarried and the man doesn't want a scandal or anything so she goes into the forest, gives birth to the children, and then drowns them (or buries them alive, in a couple versions). On her way home, she sees two ragged twin boys playing alone in the forest and proclaims to them that if they were hers she would dress them in fine clothing and give them good food to eat. They reply that they had been hers and she had done no such thing; rather, she had murdered them. And they generally go on to talk about how she'll go to hell and all that and she's very upset and sometimes dies. Come to think of it, La Llorona is a little like that, too. What is it with all these old legends with ladies killing their kids? what the heck.
This is about 1900’s in China and Japan, mother would leave their baby’s/kids in coin lockers, the workers would open the lockers, to clean them out. And find babys/kids in the lockers, most alive, some died. There probably been many comments talking about this. Just incase you forgot or didn’t know, I came here to tell you, of course there’s other comments with more information I probably forgot about.

This comment is old but I 110% agree

I want a story about that cute child, I want a lot of fanarts bc he's so cute
Here’s some *fun* history for you!
In the late 1900s, Japan was lacking proper abortion care and adoption centers, which meant properly dealing with unwanted children was both difficult and risky for the mothers. Because of both the cost and undesirable social effects of both options, mothers would place their newborns into coin operated lockers near train stations, which happened to be both just big enough and farther away from crowds. It’s rumored that some mothers did this under the assumption that lockers were regularly checked, and that their child (if not already killed) would be found.
Majority of babies were male newborns and typically found 1-3 months after death via asphyxiation. To reduce the smell and carnage of the bodies, mothers would wrap the babies in plastic to suffocate and prepare them for the locker. This would make it less likely for them to be caught, especially if they placed the dead child in an additional bag. For a while it worked in the parents favor, as by the time anyone checked the lockers (or the lockers weren’t being paid for) it could be very difficult to gather information and track the mother down. The term “coin-operated locker baby” was popularized in 1975 and covered in news, but the rate of these deaths wouldn’t slow down until the early 80s. From that time to the 90s, nearly 200 dead children were discovered. This lead to coin lockers being assigned patrols and the lockers themselves being placed closer to people. It also started new anti-child neglect programs and laws, as well as schools teaching more about contraception and safe sex.
From my research, I haven’t been able to find any records of a coin locker baby surviving, aside from a case of child neglect in which a couple left their child in a locker so they could go to dinner. Nowadays there are few known recent cases of coin locker babies, though they do happen every few years, with one being as recent as June 2022.
*TLDR;* yes coin locker babies are real, and yes, it’s as fucked up as you would imagine.
Emphasis on the fun 😂😢😢😢

@@tsunpie it most definitely wouldn’t be a living one, but hey, you got a child!

“you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.”

From the ending bit, I'm guessing that the spirit of the coin locker baby saw its mother now married and pregnant again, this time with a child that was wanted and would be given the love it was never given, and decided to get revenge... And since she happened to be standing near a train crossing with train approaching... well, we can guess what probably happened next.
good theory
Guessing the man got hella pissed
It's likely that someone saved the kid and the kid pushed his mother years later.
DreamLandBuds I would be too,lmao
:]
I... can't... stop... listening... to... this... song...
Same
I..... K.... R
Welp I kinda like it...AT FIRST, until I now what the song was about
yes
.....Shoot, me too-
Some backstory: Coin Locker Babies are unwanted children abandoned in the coin locks of stations and such. They're put in there with the presumption that staff or such will go in and check what's in there, but of course, they often don't and the child often dies in the coin lock.
Yeah and its kind of sad
i see people theorizing that the coin locker baby is the one with white hair, and they grew up and found out that their mother is pregnant again and killed the mother (by pushing her in front of a train, at the end)
however: look at the one minute mark, till around ten seconds after that. the white-haired kid is looking into a locker, looking down at a baby. i dont think that the white-haired kid was the baby in the coin locker- at least, not the one shown in the song. maybe they feel for the baby cause they, too, were a coin locker baby. yeah, i think thats what happened, cause they are shown to also be in a locker at one point, and there's tons of other stuff to symbolize their connection to being a coin locker baby.
i think they killed the pregnant lady out of, like... vengeance. Cause the baby was already dead, too. So they opened the locker to find a dead baby, then later saw the mom go back for the baby but it was too late. then, LATER later, they saw the mom pregnant and thought it was unfair, so they killed her. That's my take, anyway. I could be reading too much into the scene where they look down into the locker, maybe that was just supposed to be symbolism of them pitying themselves and it didnt actually happen lol
StrawbearyHoney I think it’s like his ‘spirit’ being shown in the locker too. That his knees, scrunched up show the small space. But excellent theory!
I think this is a good theory
A bit after the minute mark there’s a pic of a baby with what looks like a bracelet and then the kid in the white shows the same color and shape of that bracelet on his hair
:]
You can also see the dead baby below the white haired kid's feet on the right at 1:47
Fun fact: there’s an urban legend in Japan that a woman once put her baby in a coin locker when she couldn’t take care of it and couldn’t let anyone in her family know she had a child out of wedlock. It was traumatic and she tried to forget, and years later when she revisited the train station that she used the coin locker for, she found a young boy crying alone. When she went over to help and comfort him she asked “Where’s your mother?” And angrily, the boy yelled “It’s YOU!”
What happened to the woman?
thats not fun

I agree, putting babies in Lockers seems like a pretty bad idea.
Serasia what are you talking about putting babies in lockers is perfectly normal
Rainbow Doodler209 > ikr like is it taught in school or somet idk
This hasn't happened since the 90s tho????????????????????????
So teen pregnancy doesn't happen anymore.
Tbh the theories where the kid is actually alive make zero sense to me (and also considering the actual things this is based on), so here's what i have to say:
Of course, the beginning is clear - this woman, presumably way too young to be having a kid of her own, who (considering how east asia views abortion/contraceptives) got pregnant and couldn't get rid of the child before it was born. Father was deadbeat, didn't want it either. So, when the baby is born, she locks it in a coin locker, along with all of her regret, guilt, and the 'love' she had with the person who she conceived the kid with. She makes excuses to herself, saying she's too busy, the baby is too needy, etc. to rationalize locking her literal child in a coin locker. Over time, she slowly realizes what she did is horrible, hence her getting 'cold feet', and goes back to the locker and opens it, to find the baby dead ('i was too late, i couldn't make it') - the bridge lines 'it's fallen completely apart, blotched and ugly, stained with filth, unprotected', is describing the state of the child when she finds it, and based on her says the baby has 'fallen apart', we can assume she left it long enough for it to be in at least the early stages of decomposition. This most probably traumatized her (because i think we'd all be traumatized if we saw a decomposing baby in a coin locker), and she started hallucinating her child, 'growing' alongside her, to try and cope with her guilt. She tries to move on, and, as we see in the video, she gets pregnant again, now ready and wanting to do right by the kid and give them the life her 'coin locker baby' never had. However, her guilt has been slowly eating at her over all of this time, and one day, at the train tracks, she sees the hallucination of her dead baby again (possibly laughing at/mocking her, since the believes the baby has a 'deep-seated grudge' against her, and she says it's 'laughing in another world'), and she's so overtaken by grief that she jumps onto the tracks, killing herself.
This is my theory, since the 'unhinged child' theory doesn't make sense - there would be no way the baby, even if it did survive, and even if the adoptive parents/federal housing TOLD the child they were a coin locker baby, would know who the mother was, because she anonymously dumped them in the locker. It just doesn't make any sense.
I love this theory
Best one so far
This is the most logical theory tbh
I like this theory
Am I late? Or well
My theory
The girl wanted a baby and a wonderful family, but she was still too young. They had it and had to keep a secret. Her boyfriend did not want the baby but she did, but she had to chose one her son, or boyfriend. She chose her boyfriend. To feel better about going to kill the child she referred to him as needy and troublesome and locked him in a locker to die. Deep down she still loved the child. Even still after she did that, he did not love her anymore and her dream was falling apart. Eventually she became older and found a new man, probably her husband, to have a child with. The spirit of her old child misunderstood everything and believed she did not love her and was jealous there was a new child who was going to live. Conveniently, she was infront of train tracks.
That's a beautiful theory :D But what do you mean with spirit ? Do you think the baby is dead or still alive I'm quite curious :D I love hearing theories from other people and also form my own ^3^
woah this is a really great theory
Sounds like factory

I think we can take this song as a word of caution when it comes to things like human rights. During the 1980s when this was taking place, there wasn’t a whole lot of reproductive health stuff going around. Naturally since the government wasn’t helping, country’s like China and Japan ended up with a little issue called… “coin locker babies”.
Let’s not take away sexual health education, planned parenthood, and abortion away from people because of some false sense of baby preservation justice.
Reproductive rights are human rights. Like coin locker babies are dead.

Here my theory :
The backround story is about a young girl (probably a high school student).
This girl slept with an older man who's already married and end up being pregnant. In her naive mind it's perfect. The man will be forced to stay with her and raise the children growing in her womb.
But it's not that easy and the man seems to make her understand that if she by mistake is pregnant then he will just be tired of her.
So she don't say anything about the baby and somehow wish he would never live outside of her stomac. She is scared of throwing away her child but she know that she will never be able to raise it happily.
In the end she decided to say goodbye and put the baby in a coin locker where he infortunatly dies. But her sacrifice was vain, the men end their relationship and she feels broken. She cowardly go back to the coin locker because she could never forget about her child but it was too late.
But for me there is an another deep meaning , the baby thought.
Yes, because even if he didn't survived, the song suggest that he had his own perception of the event, represented by the white haired boy. Everything is wrong for him, he didn't had the time to feel the warmth of his mother love and ask her why did she abandonned him in this little locker, why did she made him leaver her womb and lead him to his death.
Through the video we see some symbol remembering reincarnation ( the red colored string attached to a baby hand at 1:05 ; The words "karmic cycle of life", also the foetus .) He died but his "soul" stayed because of the sadness and anger he feel about this unfairness. His only wish is being loved and take back the life he didn't had.
Many years passed and he find his mother at the same place she left him. She rebuilt her life and she is pregnant . For him it's the perfect occasion, to restart everything and finally getting the chance to obtain his perfect family. The smile in the end may show how much satisfied he is to reach his goal and also show how much longer he waited with his sadness and anger deem inside
Its based on the actual occurrence of coin locker babies: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin-operated-locker_babies

Imagine if there was a movie about Coin locker baby's mom? It would be something like; A Japanese (or Chinese) women had a baby that she wanted to keep but couldn't due to her being a single mom, and financially unstable, and shoved the baby in the Coin locker, she cried for days soon days because of what she's done, but she knows that once she's done it she can't go back. Just a few years later she has another baby with a man she's married to, but the baby she now has keeps reminding her of her beloved Coin locker baby, from this she gets flashbacks and sees the ghost of her Coin locker baby. Until one day she finally loses it, and ends herself hoping to now be a part of her Coin locker baby's life.

Why do the darkest vocaloid songs always have the best instrumentals??

Fun fact, this isn’t the only way people would get rid of their babies. In some parts of Asia if the baby is born a girl they will drop it off of a high Cliff. I’m pretty sure there was a specific mountain they would do this at but I’m not sure about that part.

Wait, this is ACTUALLY a thing that happens?! No abortion, or even protection just plain, "Welp gonna put this baby into the locker!" *Slam* eh?
Shinomi Chan yep
.....Well there goes my belief in humanity :,3
Apparently.
When you are young like Miku was in the video, no one thinks much about protection or counter-conception. Because she was so young, she thinks about the moment and nothing else.
Then, she gets pregnant.
People might be too embarrassed to go into an abortion clinic, or they might just not have enough money in the first place to get an abortion. But anyone had access to coin lockers, where they put the child 'to rest' forever. It's not always a matter of, "I wasn't thinking about birth control so I put my baby in a locker," it could be that the mother was sexually assulted and wants no part of remembering it.
Please, don't think I'm encouraging coin locker babies, I'm merely explaining the phenomena.

This song is so dark, but when it doesn't sound like it and you don't pay attention to the lyrics, it's hard to tell. I love that about vocaloid, it can be utterly horrific and we could never notice.
Problem is it's stuff like that which leads to idiots not doing their research and dancing to them calling them cute songs (this, Kikuo songs, other Maretu songs... it's horrifying)
@@StrawberrySpamCakeits mostly tiktok that ruins everything
I don't care if this song is about newborn babies being stuffed into coin lockers it's a bop
MARETU has an interesting taste in lyrics
True dat
Don't mind me, I'm just interpreting the lyrics
"Bundling up this virtually nonexistent secret between us, and into the locker it goes"
Miku is keeping her pregnancy a secret, she is only a teen so her parents would be upset
"Bundling up the fruit of our love, too, and into the locker it goes"
Miku is stuffing her kid in the coin locker
"Thus I tried to refill my heart with a delusional happiness, by locking it up"
She wanted to keep her kid but couldn't, because her parents would be mad that she had you know what with a guy
"(I have so much work to do, I’m really busy)"
Miku is saying this while pregnant, we are hearing this in the unborn child's point of view
"Any unwanted burden? O-o-o-o-off it goes"
That unwanted burden is the child
"Bundling up all the sensations at the very tips of my fingers, and into the locker they go"
I have no hecking idea what this means
"Bundling up all the emotions scraped out from my throat, and into the locker they go"
Miku is going through a hard time and she's feeling a lot of negative emotions
"You’re too needy, I don’t have any need for you. So what? What’s wrong with that, huh?"
Miku is saying that to the child to feel better
"(Let’s rid ourselves of this troublesome secret)"
Miku's telling the guy she woohood with that she is getting rid of her kid
"So irresponsible, what you said…!"
This might be the guy, telling Miku to have common sense and put her kid off for adoption
"Well then, goodbye, goodbye, my coin locker baby Come, vent your deep-seated grudge"
Miku is saying this to her baby but she knows that if the kid survives he will hate her for what she did (obviously)
"One after another, the seeds rushed into the mix, quiveringly, trying to raise their budding heads"
One word: fertilization
"But I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my coin locker baby. Come, burn to a crisp your karmic cycle of life"
She's saying sorry to her kid. Burn to a crisp your karmic cycle of life might mean that if the baby dies in the coin locker, he won't have to suffer knowing that he was abandoned
"Escaping from all pains, you fled into the world of dreams, laughing from that place removed from reality…"
The baby is saved and adopted
"Bundling up all the sensations from the nerves on my back, and into the locker they go"
I have no hecking idea what this means either
"Bundling up all the emotions spat out from the phone, and into the locker they go"
Miku may have hooked up with this guy on some kind of dating app
"I’m taking a step back to get a good look at this virtually nonexistent secret between us bundling up the tangled evidence of our love, and into the locker it goes again"
Miku feels bad and takes back the baby, but then puts him back in the locker
"Humans can’t help growing old, like oil can’t help growing cold? So what? What’s wrong with that, huh?"
The baby has become a child
"(We’ve rid ourselves of that troublesome secret)"
She got rid of her kid
"Come on, just tell me you love me already…!"
The child knows what Miku did and believes she hated him
"An injured heart, and a broken dream"
The injured heart means the kid is heartbroken, after all, he knows he was left to die and the broken dream is Miku's, she wanted to raise The him but couldn't
"I tried to bring back the precious feeling I once had, but it’s fallen completely apart, blotched and ugly"
I don't know what the precious feeling means but I think the other part is talking about the kid's mental state
"stained with filth, unprotected, inside"
Again, his mental state
"I waited and waited, but in the end, when I got cold feet, it was a little too late. I couldn’t make it…"
She goes to the coin locker a third time to get the baby, but he was taken
"(Goodbye, goodbye, my coin locker baby. Come, vent your deep-seated grudge One after another, the seeds rushed into the mix, quiveringly, trying to raise their budding heads.)"
The child remembers the song Miku was singing
"Well then"
The child is saying this
"goodbye, goodbye, my coin locker baby. Come, vent your deep-seated grudge. One after another, the seeds rushed into the mix,
quiveringly, trying to raise their budding heads."
The child is angrily mocking miku
"But I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my coin locker baby. Come, burn to a crisp your karmic cycle of life."
Miku is apologizing
"Escaping from all pains, you fled into the world of dreams. As you dozed off with a smile still on your lips"
The child walks away smiling as Miku gets ran over by a FREAKING TRAIN
"your body’s gone cold…?!"
The child doesn't regret what he did... Or Miku's body
So, this is the moral of the story: don't leave you kid to die in a coin locker or they will push you into the path of an oncoming train if they survive and find you... And it's also a super scummy thing to do
Wow....... :v the worst part is that this actually happened in Japan

“Building up all the sensations at the tips of my fingers, and into the locker they go”
Basically, the lyrics are trying to say how she’s (not literally) ripping out her emotions and holding them at the tip of her fingers so she can shove it in a coin locker. the emotions would leave, or so she thinks, with he baby being stuffed in the locker.
(i think)
Also, the precious feeling one means that the child was attempting to feel okay and content again; only for his mental state to become ‘blotched and ugly’
The nerves on her back one probably shares the same meaning of the fingertips one.
The first thing that came to mind when listening to this song is Ryu Murakami's "Coin Locker Babies" tbh. It's a pretty disturbing and surreal novel about coming-of-age
omg i know your comment is so old but i just wanted to say that i read the book because of you and it's now one of my faves!!
@@nyanams1689 Wooo!! Glad that you checked it out. It's also one of my faves too 🥰
damn now i wanna read it lol-
@@vonKasa give it a try!
@@nonsensicalabyss i might lol, whenever i get the chance :p thanks for letting us know about the book,, it sounds really interesting
the last lyric makes me think that the baby died after being abandoned in the coin locker :V
he did really die?
I think it means the mother’s body, since the child presumably pushed her in front of an oncoming train after seeing her happy and pregnant again
Yeah it did. The song says the mother went back for it but it was too late: meaning it's dead
He died
@@rawcookiedough7518 we dont actually know if the baby died after being put in the coin locker, maybe there was another meaning to the lyric that the mom got cold feet and went back for it but the baby was gone and the mom was thinking that they died but eventually they got found and rescued by one of the staffs, the white haired kid probably was the baby grown up.
From description, if you don't understand the meaning of this song:
The story lore seems to be about the phenomenon in East Asian countries where unwanted babies are abandoned in public coin-operated lockers
This slaps more than the locker the baby got put in
k o r k
I.cant.stop.watching.this.
Lieutenant the song has you trapped? Me too
It’s true I was the baby
Kiara Solange WJWWJ WHY ISTN THIS COMMENT HAVE 2K LIKES ALL READY
Lemon Boy idk, oh well
so i guess its... sanyora coin locker baby?
@@GalaxyEscliping sanyora means goodbye in Japan
Well it appears we now know what happened to one of those girls Len slept with in spear explosion boy.
they are not linked together because they are from 2 producer : maretu and rerulili
Rinne The Liar I know it's a joke.
@@ruuru1788 ....Damn it...someone always ruins the joke
Do Spice and Kagarou Days have anything to do with It? They seem like the before and after..
Fun fact: Most people giving their 'theories' in the comments already knew what the song was about
Yup
all our secrets, we simply can't agree
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
overlapping, our love has intertwined
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
those happy feelings we shared only exist in our mind
and in our hearts we would fold them up and pack them up tight
(it's all because i am going out with some other guy)
look here, a package from a stranger?
must be trash, it's trash trash trash!
passion flows through our finger tips and toes
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
passion gone, all escaped straight from our throats
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
trust me you don't need to come, it's just (un)necessary
and on your identity, what do you think you believed?
(just let it fester, this busy secret, just for a while)
"if that's what you think, just do what you want!"
so i say
see you later, see you later
coin locker baby
spinning into the dark, free from all that's filthy
one after another, all the species break apart, their
tiny trembles just begin to make their rounds
even so
i'm so sorry, please forgive me
coin locker baby
keep spinning round and round, as our fate is burning
only in our dreams we will escape this sour sorrow
smile, 'cause this will never be in our reality
this excitement, it's coming from behind
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
take it in, the emotions you've received
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
all our secrets, we simply can't agree
i guess it's time to take another step away
overlapping, our love is tangled up
i guess it's time to throw them to the locker, hey
sooner or later, will we grow old, and that oil too?
this is the reason why i was made, i thought you knew too
(just let it fester, this busy secret, just for a while)
"this love went much too, much too fast for me!"
this wounded heart i call broken
(no our dreams will not come true)
that wish i made so long ago
(can we just begin again)
covered by fish parts, scattered both up and down, go ahead
don't use protection 'gainst the dirty sluts waiting right there
i've waited far too long, but now i'm getting scared and i don't
ever want this dance with you to end so do it
like this
see you later, see you later
coin locker baby
spinning into the dark, free from all that's filthy
one after another, all the species break apart, their
tiny trembles just begin to make their rounds
so i say
see you later, see you later
coin locker baby
spinning into the dark, free from all that's filthy
one after another, all the species break apart, their
tiny trembles just begin to make their rounds
even so
i'm so sorry, please forgive me
coin locker baby
keep spinning round and round, as our fate is burning
only in our dreams we will escape this sour sorrow
basking in that smiling face
lying in a sweeter place
suddenly, without a trace i'm stuck?!
Kroworie did you right this yourself? it's really cool!
I don't get why I keep finding two translations (the one in the video and this one) in English, Portuguese, Spanish... Which one is the correct one?
@@vavaune the one is the video is more correct
i feel like the story goes a bit deeper than just that people put babies in lockers
idk how to explain it, it seems like theres more than just that
reminds me of ryu murakami's "coin-locker babies"
btw if you haven't read it YOU'RE MISSING OUT BIG BIG TIME
it's incredible
and onto the playlist it goes
Why access to contraceptives and abortion is important
Agree 💯
i fuckingg lovee the locker closing sounds or like shots during this they’re so satisfying to me
How can a song be so good
But the lyrics
*The lyrics*
Me when I'm Sorry I'm Sorry by Kikuo:
I dont really understand why people keep using this song on tiktok as if it was cute.
First of all its talking about a girl who leaves her kid in a locker because she was to young to have a child and once the child gets out of the locker he ends up seeing his mother with another man and another baby forgetting about him.
And the fact on how people on tiktok are gonna think of this song cute
A catchy song about abandoning a new born baby...Great OwO
Forgetti Spaghetti also abortion 👍
Oh, it's great to see one of MARETU's songs get a PV!! Thank you so much for subbing this!
If abortion is illegal we're gonna bring this back.
Fr
YESSSS
Yup
tru dat
After reading the lore, the song totally changes..
What a demented song. I say this with all the love in my heart.
In addition to the obvious, I also think this song is about “kicking a can down the road”. It’s when you have a problem that should be acted on, but you don’t do anything about it and save it for later… and when later comes around, it’s an even bigger problem.
Excellent song as always from Maretu.
Anyone in 2022 just coming back for some good ol vocaloid?
Hello
What i think is happening here is that Miku did not want a child but her husband did (an injured heart and a broken dream) so Miku abandoned the kid in a coin locker.
He was found (this can happen IRL as it was in public train stations) and saved, but remembered his mother. Meanwhile Miku had another abandoned kid, this time she tried to save but couldn’t. (…when I got cold feet, I couldn’t save them…)
Then, third kid. Yeah. This one was still in the womb so Miku was pregnant. At the train station, the abandoned son found Miku and probably tried ending her life, as seen by the oncoming train signals and his appearance in the back.
Probably ended up in the locker though.
this is song is the reason why i seriously got into vocaloid
i remember watching world is mine and some mmd vids as a kid but they never caught me onto vocaloid until in 2019 thanks maretu
Who ever just looks at the most recent comments lmao
ATTENTION!
DO NOT SHOVE YOUR LIVING NEWBORN BABY ON A LOCKER!
I JUST GOT A MOTHERS DAY AD-
HAHAHAGGAHHAH
*I REALLY HOPE THIS WAS A JOKE*
NOOOOOOOOO, UA-cam WHYYYY
1. I had a baby
2. I don't want it
3. I shove it into a locker like a normal person.
4. Actually lets go back and check on it. Oh no it's dead
I genuinely don't wanna have kids after this.
They should blast this from speakers next the coin lockers all over East Asia
+SayGazettEMiku A Yeah, but only Japanese speakers would be able to understand it. Girl in China or South Korea would be like: 'WTF?'
yeah haha. They could make korean and chinese version of this song though
SayGazettEMiku A God wouldn't that be fun, like Luo Tianyi and SeeU would have to sing it.
Tbh I’m actually adopted from China and good thing I was left in front of the orphanage.

idk if this is a glitch, but it says 4:27 minutes long,but when it's past 3:52 and you skip,it just ends.
and theres something at the end that you can watch yourself.
9:34
The drum in the background when it's from the babies perspective is kinda haunting like imagine being shoved in a locker and all you here is drum getting closer. Its cool be creepy
3:28 ok but THEY JUST MADE A FUCKING KIKUO REFERENCE 😱
My theory: the white haired kid was a coin locker baby. The black haired school girl was their mom. She left them to die. The white haired hid wants to be loved, but never gets that from their mom because she left them to die. (When she got cold feet and came back she thought her baby was dead, but in reality they were rescued.) The kid grows up knowing they were left to die and convinces more people to leave their babies to die so that they could feel the pain that they felt. At the end they're seen eyeing an expecting mother as a train is coming, i believe that they decided to start killing expecting mothers as a sort of revenge to their own mom, and out of jealousy.
i played this is class three years ago and i still love this song
I GOT A CONDOM ADVERT BEFORE THIS NOO
BAHSHSHSHHAHSHA NOOO
IM-
what really happened in the end is probably not the child that survived and pushed her onto the tracks, but more of a metaphor pointing at her suicide due to the deresion that buld up due to her acts
