Toya has the best covers and I love how quiet he is but you can still hear him and you can like feel his emotions! For me at least he needs to be more recognizes!!
Toya and Akito's voices are 🔥 Especially combined (Fragile, ifuudoudou) Edit almost a year later. I miss this period where i barely knew anything (for almost all games that i play) I can see pjsk music sticking with me for a long time
I'm glad to finally understand what's this song about, I've been playing it for a few weeks but only now I've got curious. Mind sharing the link to the art you used in 1:50-2:01? It's pretty, I'd like to retweet or like the author's work on their page
@Fragile Arisu (Arisu310) My theory is that this is about a messy breakup, but both people still love each other, so it's painful when they run into each other
@Fragile Arisu (Arisu310) maybe the messy breakup was because one of them cheated, i've also heard that theory but i can't really find anything in the lyrics that like implies cheating? I think one of the lyrics implied person A was watching person B with someone else, but it felt like that's,,, post-breakup, with the way person A kinda talked abt being in the background or smth like that
@@emimimimimimimi At 2:27, it says “Hiding the ring on my left with my right” I’m pretty sure this is the line where it shows a cheating scene. But the rest doesn’t show much
Cishets will really look at a deeply pulling narrative about wanting to be together, but not being able to stand the pain- "Investing time in simple fantasies" to escape the monotony of the landscape, letting at out-of-service train carry you along- Feeling guilty over illuminated billboards, wanting to just run into the alleyways, laughing without a care- "The movie screening has been over for a while now," "I'm vividly recalling my memory of the censure," the way our [movie] ended in a blur- "If possible... please don't go far away-" "If possible, please spare me the pain-" "Shut your eyes tightly in the face of this conflict-" you don't have to face it- the billboards, the monotony, the censured movie screen- don't return the favor, just talk to me. "Look straight into my eyes, through the window." I'm not the issue; look away from the problem and look at me- Sitting in the back of a run down theater, "falling asleep even though I'm supposed to be sleepless;" succumbing to a fate that shouldn't have happened- Those beautiful patterns, but I couldn't touch them... "The streets lit up as if they were on fire" like walking on hot coals, being put under the spotlight and scrutiny- 'I bet you're /so/ simple- all it would take is an indifferent girl to feel like you've been saved-' saved from being trapped in the streets of fire, saved from the walls that can't be touched, from sleeping when you should have been sleepless... But like all they see is "Hiding the ring on my finger"- not even "I make a show of losing my bearings" I make a show. A show. (The movie screening has been over; I'm vividly recalling the memory of my censure) (Sitting in the back of a run down theater, falling asleep when I should be sleepless; staring at the walls and knowing I can't touch them) I pretend to be interested in the indifferent girl, opening her umbrella to me- the 'saviour' keeping me from the streets lit up like fire. "Don't look for me if the distance is the kind where I could disappear before you realized it-" don't look for me if I'm not important to you- truly and deeply important to you. "Don't forgive me... I want our beginning to be something that wasn't sad- if nothing else," at least don't regret your time with me... Hell, it doesn't even HAVE to be in a romantic way, but people really read these lyrics like "It's about cheating." Bruh. "DON'T SLEEP. PUT IT INTO WORDS-" that feeling of falling asleep when I should be sleepless?? "SQUINT WHEN YOU'RE FACED WITH BRIGHT LIGHT-" ignore the streets that have lit up like fire!! "Don't laugh" (Don't slip away without a care) ... "And if I may ask about that blossoming attachment within you- just consume me whole." The DEVOTION. Y'all really be like "This is about cheating" bitch where?? The more I read the lyrics, the more I am like holy shit this is about a gay romance saying fuck what people think and let's be together. If you REALLY, REALLY wanted to heterocode the whole thing... like it's about someone who doesn't want to live, but keeps trying anyways. A person fantasizing about better things while they get pulled along a monotonous life. Someone who feels trapped by the glamourized world, idolizing an escape. The movie, the good times have been long over, and the person they were ended up censored in the end. Stuck between wanting to live, but also wanting the pain of living to stop... The theater has been run down, but what little beauty is left is untouchable. 'Falling asleep' could be so many things, honestly, lol- sleeping without considering real life, giving in to depressive apathy, wanting to or trying to die. The streets, the people, the expectations feel like fire- trying hard to keep onself in that little censored box. Even just the reach of someone indifferent... even just the smallest gesture being enough to live on for. (It doesn't really fit with the "making a show of losing my bearings" or "hiding the ring on my finger" but "It's about cheating" legit just fixates on one of those lines) Not wanting to live if people would move on the same without you. Not wanting to people to forgive you for ending it all, but still wanting them to remember you happily. (It still sounds like a queer tragedy, wanting to die in order to avoid censoring yourself and living under scrutiny, but) Then the twist coming along and saying 'don't give up, keep moving forwards'- which is a big theme amongst vocaloid tragedy songs- and a big thing when it comes to Akito and Toya's narratives. Akito, who 'slept' off his soccer. Toya who avoided the streets of classical music. Akito talking about his fear of being left behind. Toya ignoring his father's fire. Like??? Also, like, the entire song is filled with metaphors (as is most vocaloid music)- what makes the "ring" real? Is the cinema real? The alleyways? The out-of-service train (still running along)? Those all build up the atmosphere, comparing feelings to things that are real, putting them into words- why is "hiding the ring on my finger" about physically covering up a relationship and not [I hide my feelings and put on a show of losing my bearings] Sure, maybe not everything is gay, but y'all really have no imagination. Like. Not even just Fragile, bro, every single "I think this is about the harshness of being gay" songs gets some comment like "nOt EVeRyThIng iS gAy-" but their 'explanations' are just... hella reaching. Like sure, Yellow by Yoh Kamiyama might not be about queerness (even though they do talk about being in a closet), but seriously? 'It's about a serial killer who hides his victims in a closet'? Y'all reachin. There are SO many ways that you could kinda-sorta twist this into something hetero but- /If Akito and Toya are singing about cheating on/cheating with each other: It's still gay/ You're not even hetero-izing the song, you're just making the characters look like assholes. They don't /have/ to be gay- but Akito and Toya chose their own songs to sing if you want to take it the [character] route. But, if you go the writer route, someone specifically chose that song for these characters because it means something to them (Don't look at the conflict, look at me; consume me whole with your adoration). It doesn't HAVE to be gay, but if your gut response is to be like "It's not gay!!!" you need to look inside yourself and be less of an ass. If the song were between Akito and An or Toya and Kohane or some bs- would you still be reaching so far as to say that it's about cheating? Because of some one-off line about hiding a ring?
@@jjaa_joyjoyartist that's!!! What gets me!!! Like lmao you're right that's really how they beeee- but even then like, yeah the song is deeply more emotional and moving when read from a queer perspective... but it doesn't even have to be gay. Someone who is in love with their best friend and can't bear to ruin their friendship. Imagining a world where they can be together. Hoping that their past friendship isn't soured by (either a confession or their parting) "We'll be friends forever, right?" "Please, spare me the pain."
Even WITHIN the realm of it being cheating, people are really going to focus on that and not the loveless relationship that this person (assumedly) is in? Granted, it still sounds more like a single person in love with someone that they can't have so they either flirt around and/or mock the object of their affection for being easily moved. It's a genuinely romantic song?? It doesn't even have to be about a queer or gay romance to still be about the devotion of two people who, for whatever reason, don't feel like they can be together (but can't stand to be apart). Cishet people just have no concept of imagination or romance smh.

This video is absolutely amazing!!! I’ve never seen someone put this effort into a lyric vid for a full sekai version of a song before, and it was beautiful!! Amazing job!!
I think this song might be about a girl breaking up with this boy, and the boy trying to move on from it, but is deeply affected by the breakup. He wants the girl to stay close to him and talk to him again, but he also wants her to stay away from him and move on from him, out of care for the girl, he contradicts himself. He enters a down spiral of regret and confusion, not knowing what to do with his feelings. Some people say that the ring part of the song (2:28), implies he was cheating, but honestly I think that the girl might have given it to him, and after they broke up, since he still has an attachment to her, refuses to take it off. At the end of the song, literally the last two verses, it might be the girl wanting to get back with him, and the boy just asking her to suffocate him with her attachment. So the entire song might have went like this 1st: (0:00 - 1:48) After the break up, he is feeling terrible. Everything is dull, and still clutching onto the attachment he has for her. 2nd: (2:03 - 2:48) The guy runs into the girl while its raining in the city he lives in, after talking a little, he breaks down, (the part about losing his bearings), and tells her about his dilemma. 3rd: (3:40 - 4:30) The girl laughs as he looks into his eyes, seeing all the pain and hurt welled up inside of it. She admits that she still loved him after the break up, and she and the boy get back together, the boy asking her to suffocate him and his life with her love, to never leave again. This is just my interpretation though, what do you think!!! (If you want me to clarify anything just ask (even I'm not too sure all of this is right lmao.))
@@mndust4262 wow you are just sick They look just like any student or j-pop singer, I guess any j-pop men would look gay for a retrograde old person in 1960, but c'mon, it's 2022 I'm 100% straight and I'd totally love to dance like that
Have you read the lyrics to the song and matched it up to the dance?? Yeah telling your best bro “and may I ask of that attachment blossoming within you: just consume me whole” while facing and pointing at eachother is “super straight” alright (yeah of course you can have your own interpretation but also please respect other’s thoughts on the song as well. If they want to ship them then let them, if you want to see them as friends then you could see them as friends. They’re fictional characters after all so it doesn’t really matter what you do with them)
wait i’m slow someone please explain the meaning of this song bc all i got from this is two guys who wanna be together but too afraid to start anything so they spare themselves the pain while admiring their crush from afar 😭
I don't really understand where or why tf people think this is about cheating (other than the singular line about hiding a ring that has almost nothing to do with the entire rest of the song) But, all in all, the song is about living a monotonous, censored life, while hiding your true feelings. It's about societal pressure forcing [someone] to live a life that they don't want (pretty in line with being gay) Also, just pay attention to the ending verse where it ties up a lot of the ends "Don't sleep, put it into words" (in reference to 'sleeping when I should be sleepless') "Squint when you're face with bright light" (in reference to 'the streets lit up like fire')- I believe "Don't laugh" is in regards to the opening lines about "Laughing without a care" (as he (sees himself) slipping into the alleyways)
@@trashcat4886 I don't see why not. Music and lyric's deliver different meaning to each person, depending on their life experience. Your angle and mine can be different, it ain't wrong. But telling people that their point of view on a song is wrong, your life ain't mine, so isn't mine - yours. Just take it easy, it's just a cover, it doesn't affect the relationship between the boys.
@@oathforblessed I agree with this. Also, I have yet to see an unbiased analysis of the song’s meaning with multiple perspectives. The majority tend to cling on to the idea that this is about two gay guys, when they gloss over the fact that this was originally sung by gumi, and the girl in the cover art covers her hand like in the lyrics. There is also the frames of text shown in the beginning of the video completely ignored, and mentions about the writer’s disassociation moving into adulthood. Automatically the assumption can be made that this about one’s true feeling, how it may be faked for society, how the writer might want to be perceived, and the impact of the writer’s new identity reflecting on the old. It is very easy to cling to the idea of how two guys are singing about relationships and hidden feelings, and how that can be interpreted as gay, but never make the realization that this cover does not change what the original song’s theme was about. Why would they choose Akito and Toya to sing this? This may be because they sound nice together and fit together better lore-wise (and not inherently in a gay matter). If people haven’t realized this, project Sekai is built so that each character has a buddy, and there is two duos for each group (i.e. Ichika and Saki, Minori and Haruka, Akito and Toya, Rui and Nene, Kanade and Mafuyu). Sure some duo are not as prominent as others, but their dynamic complement each other better (and I mean initially for these duos, I have yet to read far into the event stories, but this is what prosekai may have intended). Akito and Toya were made as a duo and their relationship can be seen as two close friends, or a gay couple. I am not rejecting the idea that they being gay with hints is impossible due to the presence of some themes that teasing the idea, but the culture in Japan is different compared to all over the world. Same sex relationships do not equal a romantic one all the time, although a good proportion of the prosekai community act like it does through shipping culture.

Same sex relationships do not equal a romantic one all the time, although a good proportion of the prosekai community act like it does through shipping culture. I would like to hear you guy’s opinion about what the original song’s theme is. Here is someone’s interpretation of the song from the original video: TeenyTika • 2y ago “ikr it bops so hard, one of my favs 100% n i only recently learned the lyrics, interesting to say the least. pretty sure its about a taken lady having troubles w other people falling for her, and the temptations it brings, whether or not she wants to be in the relationship shes currently in. (noone should b expected to not fall in love with anyone ever again once theyve comitted, i think its a great thing that theyre willing to choose someone and fight those temptations for u, but feeling guilt over having fun with other boys/girls is deffs an unexplainable one, this song does it well!)”
I really appreciated your explanation and thoughts! I read a comment where someone said the song was about two gay men not being able to date because of the japanese culture, that forbids homosexuality. However, this dynamic might not work in the original song, which was sung by only one person. Or maybe it could. But, you know, it’s not the first time Project Sekai does something like this, and it’s not the first time this something concerns Akito and Toya either. I’m talking about Aun no Beats; the fact that the Prosekai version is sung by two persons changes the meaning of the song. Even the situation described by the song turns out to be different from the original idea. The same is for King; originally the song was sung by GUMI alone, but Sega decided to make it a duet between Rui and Tsukasa. This way, it’s heavily implied that Rui and Tsukasa have some important relationship, such as the servant/king one. That’s why I think we shouldn’t consider the original meaning of the song that much, when we’re talking about Fragile or the two mentioned.

yay one that includes the intro
Cishets will really look at a deeply pulling narrative about wanting to be together, but not being able to stand the pain- "Investing time in simple fantasies" to escape the monotony of the landscape, letting at out-of-service train carry you along- Feeling guilty over illuminated billboards, wanting to just run into the alleyways, laughing without a care-
"The movie screening has been over for a while now," "I'm vividly recalling my memory of the censure," the way our [movie] ended in a blur-
"If possible... please don't go far away-" "If possible, please spare me the pain-"
"Shut your eyes tightly in the face of this conflict-" you don't have to face it- the billboards, the monotony, the censured movie screen- don't return the favor, just talk to me.
"Look straight into my eyes, through the window." I'm not the issue; look away from the problem and look at me-
Sitting in the back of a run down theater, "falling asleep even though I'm supposed to be sleepless;" succumbing to a fate that shouldn't have happened- Those beautiful patterns, but I couldn't touch them...
"The streets lit up as if they were on fire" like walking on hot coals, being put under the spotlight and scrutiny-
'I bet you're /so/ simple- all it would take is an indifferent girl to feel like you've been saved-' saved from being trapped in the streets of fire, saved from the walls that can't be touched, from sleeping when you should have been sleepless...
But like all they see is "Hiding the ring on my finger"- not even "I make a show of losing my bearings"
I make a show. A show. (The movie screening has been over; I'm vividly recalling the memory of my censure) (Sitting in the back of a run down theater, falling asleep when I should be sleepless; staring at the walls and knowing I can't touch them)
I pretend to be interested in the indifferent girl, opening her umbrella to me- the 'saviour' keeping me from the streets lit up like fire.
"Don't look for me if the distance is the kind where I could disappear before you realized it-" don't look for me if I'm not important to you- truly and deeply important to you.
"Don't forgive me... I want our beginning to be something that wasn't sad- if nothing else," at least don't regret your time with me...
Hell, it doesn't even HAVE to be in a romantic way, but people really read these lyrics like "It's about cheating." Bruh.
"DON'T SLEEP. PUT IT INTO WORDS-" that feeling of falling asleep when I should be sleepless??
"SQUINT WHEN YOU'RE FACED WITH BRIGHT LIGHT-" ignore the streets that have lit up like fire!!
"Don't laugh" (Don't slip away without a care)
... "And if I may ask about that blossoming attachment within you- just consume me whole."
The DEVOTION. Y'all really be like "This is about cheating" bitch where?? The more I read the lyrics, the more I am like holy shit this is about a gay romance saying fuck what people think and let's be together.
If you REALLY, REALLY wanted to heterocode the whole thing... like it's about someone who doesn't want to live, but keeps trying anyways. A person fantasizing about better things while they get pulled along a monotonous life. Someone who feels trapped by the glamourized world, idolizing an escape. The movie, the good times have been long over, and the person they were ended up censored in the end. Stuck between wanting to live, but also wanting the pain of living to stop...
The theater has been run down, but what little beauty is left is untouchable. 'Falling asleep' could be so many things, honestly, lol- sleeping without considering real life, giving in to depressive apathy, wanting to or trying to die. The streets, the people, the expectations feel like fire- trying hard to keep onself in that little censored box.
Even just the reach of someone indifferent... even just the smallest gesture being enough to live on for. (It doesn't really fit with the "making a show of losing my bearings" or "hiding the ring on my finger" but "It's about cheating" legit just fixates on one of those lines)
Not wanting to live if people would move on the same without you. Not wanting to people to forgive you for ending it all, but still wanting them to remember you happily.
(It still sounds like a queer tragedy, wanting to die in order to avoid censoring yourself and living under scrutiny, but)
Then the twist coming along and saying 'don't give up, keep moving forwards'- which is a big theme amongst vocaloid tragedy songs- and a big thing when it comes to Akito and Toya's narratives. Akito, who 'slept' off his soccer. Toya who avoided the streets of classical music. Akito talking about his fear of being left behind. Toya ignoring his father's fire. Like???
Also, like, the entire song is filled with metaphors (as is most vocaloid music)- what makes the "ring" real? Is the cinema real? The alleyways? The out-of-service train (still running along)? Those all build up the atmosphere, comparing feelings to things that are real, putting them into words- why is "hiding the ring on my finger" about physically covering up a relationship and not [I hide my feelings and put on a show of losing my bearings]
Sure, maybe not everything is gay, but y'all really have no imagination. Like. Not even just Fragile, bro, every single "I think this is about the harshness of being gay" songs gets some comment like "nOt EVeRyThIng iS gAy-" but their 'explanations' are just... hella reaching. Like sure, Yellow by Yoh Kamiyama might not be about queerness (even though they do talk about being in a closet), but seriously? 'It's about a serial killer who hides his victims in a closet'? Y'all reachin.
There are SO many ways that you could kinda-sorta twist this into something hetero but-
/If Akito and Toya are singing about cheating on/cheating with each other: It's still gay/
You're not even hetero-izing the song, you're just making the characters look like assholes.
They don't /have/ to be gay- but Akito and Toya chose their own songs to sing if you want to take it the [character] route. But, if you go the writer route, someone specifically chose that song for these characters because it means something to them (Don't look at the conflict, look at me; consume me whole with your adoration). It doesn't HAVE to be gay, but if your gut response is to be like "It's not gay!!!" you need to look inside yourself and be less of an ass. If the song were between Akito and An or Toya and Kohane or some bs- would you still be reaching so far as to say that it's about cheating? Because of some one-off line about hiding a ring?
B-but my straight narrative! If I can't directly relate to this struggle of being queer how can I enjoy this song?!
@@jjaa_joyjoyartist that's!!! What gets me!!!
Like lmao you're right that's really how they beeee- but even then like, yeah the song is deeply more emotional and moving when read from a queer perspective... but it doesn't even have to be gay.
Someone who is in love with their best friend and can't bear to ruin their friendship. Imagining a world where they can be together. Hoping that their past friendship isn't soured by (either a confession or their parting) "We'll be friends forever, right?" "Please, spare me the pain."
Even WITHIN the realm of it being cheating, people are really going to focus on that and not the loveless relationship that this person (assumedly) is in?
Granted, it still sounds more like a single person in love with someone that they can't have so they either flirt around and/or mock the object of their affection for being easily moved.
It's a genuinely romantic song?? It doesn't even have to be about a queer or gay romance to still be about the devotion of two people who, for whatever reason, don't feel like they can be together (but can't stand to be apart). Cishet people just have no concept of imagination or romance smh.

This video is absolutely amazing!!! I’ve never seen someone put this effort into a lyric vid for a full sekai version of a song before, and it was beautiful!! Amazing job!!
Me encantó gracias por subirlo 🤩😍
GAY PEOPLE REAL
I absolutely love this song (and especially toya's solo version!) but in this one akito absolutely solo'd it
listening to this after my parents divorce, lets goo
Yes gay away the pain 😃
YIPPEEE!
i love this song but it’s just too relatable after hearing the en lyrics. imma cry now
HELLO LGBTQA+ COMMUNITY
i love akitoya covers theyre so good i love them both i love toya's voice sm i like akito's voice too i love them both sm akitoya solos
akikoha is also good tho
I think this song might be about a girl breaking up with this boy, and the boy trying to move on from it, but is deeply affected by the breakup. He wants the girl to stay close to him and talk to him again, but he also wants her to stay away from him and move on from him, out of care for the girl, he contradicts himself. He enters a down spiral of regret and confusion, not knowing what to do with his feelings. Some people say that the ring part of the song (2:28), implies he was cheating, but honestly I think that the girl might have given it to him, and after they broke up, since he still has an attachment to her, refuses to take it off. At the end of the song, literally the last two verses, it might be the girl wanting to get back with him, and the boy just asking her to suffocate him with her attachment.
So the entire song might have went like this
1st: (0:00 - 1:48)
After the break up, he is feeling terrible. Everything is dull, and still clutching onto the attachment he has for her.
2nd: (2:03 - 2:48)
The guy runs into the girl while its raining in the city he lives in, after talking a little, he breaks down, (the part about losing his bearings), and tells her about his dilemma.
3rd: (3:40 - 4:30)
The girl laughs as he looks into his eyes, seeing all the pain and hurt welled up inside of it. She admits that she still loved him after the break up, and she and the boy get back together, the boy asking her to suffocate him and his life with her love, to never leave again.
This is just my interpretation though, what do you think!!! (If you want me to clarify anything just ask (even I'm not too sure all of this is right lmao.))

gay people real
I love this song. Two super straight bros dancing like gods just for the sake of making music and being famous.
yeah they’re definitely “super straight” and “bros” 🔥
@@Shuassholelover why the "? Are you implying that male dancers must be gay or something?
just take one look at them and tell me that they like girls… they don’t
@@mndust4262 wow you are just sick
They look just like any student or j-pop singer, I guess any j-pop men would look gay for a retrograde old person in 1960, but c'mon, it's 2022
I'm 100% straight and I'd totally love to dance like that
Have you read the lyrics to the song and matched it up to the dance?? Yeah telling your best bro “and may I ask of that attachment blossoming within you: just consume me whole” while facing and pointing at eachother is “super straight” alright (yeah of course you can have your own interpretation but also please respect other’s thoughts on the song as well. If they want to ship them then let them, if you want to see them as friends then you could see them as friends. They’re fictional characters after all so it doesn’t really matter what you do with them)
Miku said songs were made by FEELINGS
this song is so good i wish gay people were real
Same but they'd be scary
thats scary
real
if this song was on spotify, i would have more than 1000 scrobbles on last fm
it is actually on spotify!

How you feel then? Need a hug? 😭
I don’t think they’re straight

forget heroin you ever been addicted to this song
Akito 1★
wait i’m slow someone please explain the meaning of this song bc all i got from this is two guys who wanna be together but too afraid to start anything so they spare themselves the pain while admiring their crush from afar 😭
The song itself is about cheating.
I don't really understand where or why tf people think this is about cheating (other than the singular line about hiding a ring that has almost nothing to do with the entire rest of the song)
But, all in all, the song is about living a monotonous, censored life, while hiding your true feelings. It's about societal pressure forcing [someone] to live a life that they don't want (pretty in line with being gay)
Also, just pay attention to the ending verse where it ties up a lot of the ends "Don't sleep, put it into words" (in reference to 'sleeping when I should be sleepless') "Squint when you're face with bright light" (in reference to 'the streets lit up like fire')- I believe "Don't laugh" is in regards to the opening lines about "Laughing without a care" (as he (sees himself) slipping into the alleyways)
@@trashcat4886 I don't see why not. Music and lyric's deliver different meaning to each person, depending on their life experience. Your angle and mine can be different, it ain't wrong. But telling people that their point of view on a song is wrong, your life ain't mine, so isn't mine - yours. Just take it easy, it's just a cover, it doesn't affect the relationship between the boys.
@@oathforblessed they just sai they didn’t understand the reason 😟
@@oathforblessed I agree with this. Also, I have yet to see an unbiased analysis of the song’s meaning with multiple perspectives.
The majority tend to cling on to the idea that this is about two gay guys, when they gloss over the fact that this was originally sung by gumi, and the girl in the cover art covers her hand like in the lyrics. There is also the frames of text shown in the beginning of the video completely ignored, and mentions about the writer’s disassociation moving into adulthood.
Automatically the assumption can be made that this about one’s true feeling, how it may be faked for society, how the writer might want to be perceived, and the impact of the writer’s new identity reflecting on the old. It is very easy to cling to the idea of how two guys are singing about relationships and hidden feelings, and how that can be interpreted as gay, but never make the realization that this cover does not change what the original song’s theme was about.
Why would they choose Akito and Toya to sing this? This may be because they sound nice together and fit together better lore-wise (and not inherently in a gay matter). If people haven’t realized this, project Sekai is built so that each character has a buddy, and there is two duos for each group (i.e. Ichika and Saki, Minori and Haruka, Akito and Toya, Rui and Nene, Kanade and Mafuyu). Sure some duo are not as prominent as others, but their dynamic complement each other better (and I mean initially for these duos, I have yet to read far into the event stories, but this is what prosekai may have intended).
Akito and Toya were made as a duo and their relationship can be seen as two close friends, or a gay couple. I am not rejecting the idea that they being gay with hints is impossible due to the presence of some themes that teasing the idea, but the culture in Japan is different compared to all over the world. Same sex relationships do not equal a romantic one all the time, although a good proportion of the prosekai community act like it does through shipping culture.

Someone should make "Fragile (Endlevel cut)" version

Same sex relationships do not equal a romantic one all the time, although a good proportion of the prosekai community act like it does through shipping culture.
I would like to hear you guy’s opinion about what the original song’s theme is.
Here is someone’s interpretation of the song from the original video:
TeenyTika • 2y ago
“ikr it bops so hard, one of my favs 100% n i only recently learned the lyrics, interesting to say the least. pretty sure its about a taken lady having troubles w other people falling for her, and the temptations it brings, whether or not she wants to be in the relationship shes currently in.
(noone should b expected to not fall in love with anyone ever again once theyve comitted, i think its a great thing that theyre willing to choose someone and fight those temptations for u, but feeling guilt over having fun with other boys/girls is deffs an unexplainable one, this song does it well!)”
I really appreciated your explanation and thoughts! I read a comment where someone said the song was about two gay men not being able to date because of the japanese culture, that forbids homosexuality.
However, this dynamic might not work in the original song, which was sung by only one person. Or maybe it could.
But, you know, it’s not the first time Project Sekai does something like this, and it’s not the first time this something concerns Akito and Toya either. I’m talking about Aun no Beats; the fact that the Prosekai version is sung by two persons changes the meaning of the song. Even the situation described by the song turns out to be different from the original idea. The same is for King; originally the song was sung by GUMI alone, but Sega decided to make it a duet between Rui and Tsukasa. This way, it’s heavily implied that Rui and Tsukasa have some important relationship, such as the servant/king one.
That’s why I think we shouldn’t consider the original meaning of the song that much, when we’re talking about Fragile or the two mentioned.
Bro I love the beginning intro of the song
this song is the reason i started the game (found the song thru a mmd)
This video got me into project sekai
