2:12 "omg! that didnt take long at all!" *average maretu fans when they see the translations to his songs* (they are faster than the speed of light) Edit: Thank you guys for the likes, i have been added to the hall of faem :3
Before the premiere when I saw the thumbnail I thought it would be abt abuse or someone treated like an animal. This song makes me think it’s like new Darling(same theme)
I feel strong vibes to New Darling and Iyaiyayo personally! This song definitely has innuendos to sex so I feel its theming is much more close to Iyaiyayo but with a story like New Darling!
OH MY GOD THE GUITAR AT 2:48 GENUINELY MADE ME JUMP??? MAYBE IM JUST TIRED AS FUCK BUT I CANT REMEMBER MARETUS MOST RECENT SONG THAT HE ACTUALLY USED A GUITAR IN. HE TOOK OUT THE GUITAR FOR THE CAT SONG.
hmmm, looking at the lyrics, this song comes off to me as someone who is traumatized from being abused, who is very self deprecating and self destructive because of it. they don't believe that they can grow and only deserve bad things. they seek out sex as a sort of coping mechanism or self harm? it also seems that they equate abuse with love or "want" to be abused or used because it's what they think that's what love is. reminds me of new darling in a way. they do have the same upload date i believe this reminds me of one of my ocs so i'm kinda going off of her for this shshnshsjshsh
@@moemoethecoolest Oooh I didn’t even know about that idiom but that makes a lot of sense! Really cool to see how the theming comes full circle like that! I’ll add it to the description :>
@@Azqupai Hey! Your translation isn’t bad! My translation is basically just adding context and clarification to yours if you really look at it 😭 but thank you!
I think this song is about someone who simultaneously wants to be praised and degraded due to trauma. They think they deserve to be treated like a princess and spoiled with attention, food, and riches because of how much they've been through. They want to exist in a world where they can be a pampered child forever and never make something of themselves because they're scared of the world. But they must also feel some amount of guilt for this, wanting people to punish them for being selfish and lazy (using this as reason for more pity and spoils). As for their situation, it's most likely prostitution. MARETU has made a few songs on it before so it wouldn't be too surprising. The character is trying to distance themselves from their clients while knowing deep down that they rely on their attention (both good and bad) in order to keep going. They've accepted their situation and don't believe they can do anything to change it. This reminds me of the rise of 'puppy girls' and 'cat girls'. Young women online who infantilize themselves and boil their lives down to the internet and being cute (as well as having no plan for the future when the creeps who take advantage of them get sick of their aging bodies). Some of them can also be quite masochistic. A lot of damaged people have stumbled down this path and they're often made fun of or obscenely sexualized when all they really need is mental health help.
Thank you for the translation! When I first read the lyrics, an image of someone who gave up hope and is slowly losing their sanity came to mind. The lyrics about how dreams are impossible, or how it's too late to fix things, maybe the person was facing one catastrophe after another that they gave up the possibility of even having a reason to keep going. The whole cat behavior seems like a desperate attempt of the person to pretend that everything is fine, after all, when a cat gets sick or feels that it doesn't have much time, it hides somewhere so no one can see it's weak and fragile state. It's possible that the whole cat behavior is a metaphor of "Not following the rules and doing what I like" because cats usually do whatever they want regardless of what they are told to do. Maybe the person is in a state where their freedom is limited and they are rebelling against the person who is trying to control them, which explains the little argument they had at the start. Also, the Nyan parts sounds like they are mocking the other party, like "Blah blah blah" but in a cat way, "Nyan nyan nyan" That's my initial understanding for now.
Okay on first listen, here is my theory It appears to be about someone desperate to die so the start a lot of fights hoping one day they’d lose, and the cat imagery is meant to be like a cat fight, dumb violent fights between smaller people. Edit: This could also be in a more tame way, with someone feeling worthless so they self sabotage their own relationships because they don’t feel like they deserve love
okay i'm late but i DEFINITELY think this song is yet another punch from maretu at prostitutes falling for their clients or among the sort. the lyrics point at very um. sex-yyyyy? like when you look at it from that perspective a handful of the lyrics sound that way. to give a cat a gold coin, maybe thats the client giving singer money, or another client (double meaning of neko ni koban and payment). fight money is probably competitive pay, "we're both hiding our skins tonight" maybe they both love eachother and pretend to not show it? or some weird twisted form of that (this one's a big stretch)
That’s so sweet 😭 I would have had it out an hour earlier but I wanted to take the time to translate the still image which took me a bit since I didn’t know all the kanji that was displayed and trying to look up stretched and distorted kanji is💀
Hey Sakura! I've decided to link your MARETU translations in my translations' description. I kind of liked this unspoken agreement we had, that you translate the lyrics more literally, and I try to decipher some potential hidden meanings in the lyrics. It's fun for me. I had a lot of fun with this song, and I hope you did as well with your translation! I don't want this to seem like a competition, I think both of us are necessary in order to convey the complete picture of a MARETU song to listeners. You deliver a song's ambiguity very well, you encourage people to theorize and continue community discussions. I don't want to put you in a box, if you ever decide to try deep diving and do a translation that way, I encourage you to do so. You don't have to do what I did either. I wanted was to show transparency that we're not rivals. Please let me know if this is a bad idea, if I should remove what I had written or rephrase it.
@@ChouchooTranslations Omg of course! I really respect your translations, I always recommend people to check yours out! If you choose to do that then I’ll definitely do the same for yours too on my videos! I agree wholeheartedly, I never want it to seem like I’m competing with you and your translations either, I absolutely adore them! I agree that both of our translations are important as well so I definitely feel content with how we are in regards to each other :}

hey can some more hardcore maretu fan than me explain the whole “he was with a minor”discourse i don’t know how to word this in a way that removes bias i don’t know anything about it im just confused can someone help me 😭😭
Hi! I can explain :> in 2017, MARETU made a post on Twitter about him cheating on his girlfriend with a “minor” who had a mental illness. The girl was 19, which by Japanese standards, is considered a minor. MARETU was likely in his mid-twenties at the time if we are to assume he’s aged about the same as other producers like NERU (who is 30 now) One thing about this is that MARETU sued his ex for defamation so likely everything about the controversy other than the fact that he cheated could be false. This controversy is roughly 8 years old now so I don’t see it relevant to put against it, especially since it was a one time thing but I allow everyone to make their own opinion on him, I just highly do not agree with the concept of cancel culture. MARETU is my favorite producer, regardless of what he has done. He is a huge inspiration for me; he was the reason I even started this channel with the dream of being a vocaloid producer. I even have tattoos of his logo and Brain Revolution Girl if that goes to show how much I like his works lol. People are allowed their own opinion on him and I choose not to hold his past actions against him now so long as he doesn’t repeat it.
My og comment got deleted 💔💔 but i wanna still give my interp of this song Imo NYAN is about a gay man who sleeps with women as some sort of punishment or selfharm, because he refuses to accept the fact liking men is normal and acceptable, it’s likely that they were bullied or conditioned into believing that liking men was something they should’ve been repulsed by.
@@sakuravikofficialIt could be a story of a wlw who sleeps with men as well! Personally i’m open to all interpretations of this song, it reminds me a lot of PINK in that it’s overall meaning is pretty ambiguous, life laugh love maretu

@@YChan620 I feel that exact same vibe! Someone who has sex to feel loved but it’s really only harming them further!
1:07 this is probably a reference to the idiom "neko ni koban", to cast pearls before swine (literally "to give a cat a gold coin")
