@@DBT1007 To be totally fair, despite the uplifting feel of this song, the embrace of what her name means, it's still pretty dark. I mean, check how the video ends. Soft and sweet, but still very melancholic and not without a touch of existential horror lurking beneath the saccharin tone.
I think the best part of the song is when she says "As Mumei" because the lyrics didn't change, she just came to know herself rather than being nameless.
I think a better translation for that would be "Mumei is my name" to parallel the first version of that line a bit better, but obviously that doesn't really change anything with the song itself.
It kinda did actually, at least in the japanese subs it was first written with the kanji "無名" then later on the last part it was written in katakana (ムメイ) like how her name is written
@@gazelle_diamond9768Not really. まま simply describes a state of being, so Xのまま is to be (or remain) in state X. Since the entire sentence is to live (in the declarative using よ), then both lines will translate to "For now, we are living/I will go on (living) as [mumei]". The main distinction I think here is that the second time around when her name is translated directly, the English decides to capitalize it as "Mumei", making it clear that the persona in the song is, in fact, Mumei. But since the title of the song is a lower case "mumei", this implies that Mumei is encouraging us to self-insert in her story of self-actualization (i.e. going from a common noun "mumei" to a proper noun "Mumei" - an actual name, no longer "nameless". EDIT: quite similarly, the Japanese subtitles does this as well transitioning from 無名 to ムメイ). This is all the more reason why I feel that the song is so well thought out in terms of language, musicality, and visual spectacle. Despite Mumei trying to downlplay everything in her follow up stream, I think she really outdid herself this time. Props to Mumei, TKN, and Ootori-san for doing such an amazing job.
I just read this comment while listening to the song, and suddenly the whole meaning of the song clicked in my head and gave me a big ol bucket of feels. I didn’t realize how much Mumei’s VTuber name actually means to her. (I know she’s talked about it and someone clipped a 15 minute segment of it, but I haven’t watched that yet. But I bet it’s gonna leave me in my feels when I do watch it.) EDIT: YEP, I watched it and got another bucket of feels I wasn’t prepped for 😭
最初この曲はムメイちゃんのための曲なのかと思っていましたが、聞いてみるとこれは私やあなたに向けた曲、私たちのための曲でもあるのだと思いました。曲名がMumeiではなくmumeiなのは、固有名詞ではない、名もない者たちへの勇気づけるための曲であるからなのだと感じました。そしてmumeiであることは決してマイナスなことではなく、可能性に満ちたことなのだと言われているように感じました。この世界に住むほとんどの人間のことを私たちは知らないし、知らないまま生きていくことのだと思いますが、重要なのはその誰かの名前がどうなのかではなく、私という存在がいることであり、あなたという存在がきっとこの世界にいるということなのだと。それをムメイちゃんが微笑みながら寄り添うように歌いかけてきてくれることがとても素敵だと思いました。 At first I thought this song was for Mumei, but when I listen to it, I realized that this song is also for you and me, for us. I felt that the reason why the name of the song is "mumei " and not "Mumei" , because it is not a proper noun, but a song to encourage the nameless. I also felt that being a mumei is not a negative thing, but a thing full of possibilities. We don't know most of the people who live in this world, and we will continue to live without knowing them, but what is important is not what someone's names are, but that I am here, and you must be in this world. I thought it was wonderful that Mumei sang to us with smiling and like standing close to us.
Me too. This reminds me of Shelter by Porter and Madeon. They both made a song with the animation that made me cry. This, gave me the same vibes as Shelter 🥺. I don't wanna see another sad ending but luckily Moom is not alone in the end.
If you can do a breakdown for Nanashi too, as that's part of Mumei's name play (even if has nothing to do with the song specifically), it would help people realize how playful of a name Nanashi Mumei is.
in addition: Nanashi(名無し) = Wago(和語), Mumei(無名) = Kango(漢語) Simply thinking, "Wago(和語)" means Japanese traditionaled word "Kango(漢語)" is Japanese but Chinese-origin word There actually isn’t much of a difference between those, but if i had to say, When to Use: 和語(wago)→ Casual, Daily 漢語(Kango) → Formal, seriously hope this helps
My interpretation of the song’s story: Mumei was lost and alone in the world, not really sure what to do. A nameless person will never be known or loved, destined to be forgotten. It hurts, because nobody wants to be alone, so she desperately wanted to find someone. The only clue she has is a lantern and a letter she found in the darkness. She doesn’t know the name or the face of the person who wrote the letter, but it was all she has, so she clings to it and it pushed her forward in the hopes of someday finding the letter’s author. In her head she’s imagining all the fun things they will do together. In her travels she meets the lady on the water. Who is this lady? She was someone else just like Mumei. This lady tells her to stop chasing shadows. This is when Mumei’s eyes are opened. You will never find someone chasing the idea of a person. Only by putting yourself out there to be seen will people find you. Looking at the lantern and no longer hiding under a hood she changes her position from a seeker to guide and is able to be a light in the darkness for others who were like her. She knows what it is like because she was just like them. She journeys across the darkness and other mumeis see her. The truth is that the world was never empty. She had focused on this one person in a letter that she could not see all the people who were around. And one day someone in the darkness finds her. Is this the person she was longing for? No, but this person is real and here now and that is worth so much more than some idea of a person. Eventually endings happen, but the world keeps going. The whale isn’t gonna stop swimming just because a light has gone out. The whale probably doesn’t even know it crossed the lantern holder’s path. You’re going to need to be okay with that. If you feel alone in the darkness desperately looking for someone, at the end of the song is a lantern left for you. It even has your name on it. Stop hiding your face, pick up that lantern and hold it up for someone to find you. It may not be the person you were looking for, but it will be even greater. It’s not a self titled song. It’s a song for you.
@@meh6513i’ll be honest, this comment scared me to post. It had been turning in my mind since the video came out and I knew I had to write it eventually. I didn’t want to write it too early because if people liked it my thoughts would end up in the top comments somewhere. When I saw she was gonna have a talk about the song i thought, “oh thank goodness. She’ll set the record straight and I can comment guilt free knowing I’m wrong.” But then her thoughts were, “wouldn’t it be a cool if a whale was there?” Mumei! What are you doing to me? Plan B now was to post the comment at an inconvenient time in hopes that it is both late enough to not be in the first wave of comments and late enough to be buried in a wave of new comments. I kinda wanted my comment to be thrown into the sea never to be seen by anyone, least of all Mumei herself. Imagine my surprise that not only did I get a reply, it has way more likes than I was expecting. 3 was my high estimate before it should have been buried from sort by Newest. But I am glad it resonated with people. To anyone reading this, when the day comes you pick up your lantern, it may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, it may not even be next year; i have no idea when it will happen, but hold it up with pride and someone will find you. I was trying to not be seen and people found me, coward that I am.
Appreciate how you ended it. As someone who works in helping people heal and reconnect. The hardest lesson is getting people to find the courage, strength, and flexibility to pick up that lantern and go live life. Life is full of unknown but just like mumei, there is a lot of life worth adventuring for, just remember you're doing it for your own smile.
@@orangeapples lol 😂 but you clearly mean the best for people so that can be your excuse for if someone gets murdered or something trying to socialize with other people and mistakenly choosing the wrong one... (I'm lonely and it's my fault LMAO) but semi jokes aside many people who want to substantiate the feelings they get from the song but can't quite use it as a motivational song I think this comment slots in well enough... I mean society won't let things go your way and so I'm sure you will keep getting likes I imagine, since i saw you with 10 likes and made my comment after having found your analysis and final statement befitting a standard that people with hundreds or thousands of likes deserve... I hope you find a settings to mute the like milestone notifications if you can't get over the attention...please just don't delete the original comment or delete the comment just cause you dislike the notifications I'm sure somewhere in the settings you can find a middle ground for us and your feelings...
@@meh6513 don’t worry. The truth is that I am afraid of not being seen. It isn’t a dislike of attention. When you put a piece of yourself out there like that it hurts when it isn’t acknowledged by others. So i took every step possible to sabotage the comment thinking, “if nobody sees it, then my plan worked.” Being affirmed is just fine with me.
After a quick read on what "Mumei" means, and just with reading the lyrics, this song becomes more than just a catchy song, it becomes a song about being "nameless", knowing that you wont be remembered and finally living with that fact but still moving forward. I love you Mooms, never change and we Hoomans will always be there for you, even when you are "nameless"
@@SenseofNoneYTIt gets better. "Nanashi" is written using the characters 七詩, which literally means "seven poems". This is likely in reference to "The poem of Seven Steps" of Chinese origin (七步詩). This is an allegorical summary of major events in Chinese history and was referenced in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It basically illustrates the irony of a situation where a pot of beans are being cooked using fire stoked by the stems of the same plant where the beans came from. It highlights the farce of human conflict and I think is a very apt summary of Mumei's lore as the Guardian of Civilization. Everything about this Owl is just amazing. EDIT: I just recognized the name of the account I was replying to. Amazing job on the Kaela vs. Biboo short you did!
When she sang that one part that goes like, _”All I remember is that I forgot_ _Leaving a void within, but now I’ve met you_ _I don’t know your name or what you look like_ _Yet you feel so familiar_ _Making up for what we’re missing_ _We laugh and we smile_ _Within this world,_ _You are somewhere_ _For now we’ll keep going on_ _Without a name_ _Even if all of this turns out to be a mirage_ _I’ll still feel your presence out there_ _I don’t know your name or what you look like_ _Say "goodbye" and it will all be over_ _Without you, this void will only grow_ _No matter what, I’ll find you soon_ _Within this world,_ _Where are you?_ _Right now_ _I’m here,_ _I am_ _Nameless_ _A world of darkness surrounds me_ _As I fall headlong_ _Because I am nameless, this world_ _Will forget me, and I’ll disappear_ _But if I am what you are looking for_ _Through the void of my heart_ _A wind will blow from me to you_ _And a bird will come meet you_ _Within this world,_ _You are somewhere_ _Now, I’ll keep going_ _As Mumei”_ I felt that.
I'm so happy she sang this song at 5th Fes, because now I see all these new people commenting about hearing the song for the first time and how it moved them. Thank you Mumei, TKN, and Big Bird for creating a piece of art that means so much to so many people across different languages and cultures.
The sheer number of languages being written down in the comments goes to show the power of this song. Mumei is a kind enough soul to be able to unite people across the world!
English, Korean, Japanese, -many- a few (confirmed) Chinese, some Russian... found a Spanish comment... wow, a comment in -Arabic- Hindi... that's a surprise... that makes 7 languages I can see on short scrolling. Add Indonesian to the list. Found it farther down.
Honestly this is the most multilingual comment section I have seen in a while for a holoEN video atleast lol. Good thing I installed the extension that can translate all these comments. EDIT: Does it maybe have anything to do with having subtitles for multiple languages? Like maybe youtube recommending it more to people who speak those languages.
its abit bittersweet, she went from being nameless, in japanese being mumei, and embracing the name and actually named herself mumei. look at the lyrics in the earlier verse, the lyrics wrote nameless, and at the later verse, it wrote mumei.
translation: It's interesting to note that because the years have gone by so long, our civilization keepers have forgotten even their own names, so Nanashi Mumei's name itself means "no name", so this is also a song without a name.
5thライブで初めて聞きましたが今日ずっと脳裏に焼き付いて離れませんでした。 儚げな静寂から美しく強烈な世界観をたたきつけてくるサビは素晴らしく、 私たち一人一人へ向けた優しく美しい歌詞に感極まって涙が出てしまいます。 ムメイさん、TKNさん、こんなに素晴らしい楽曲を届けてくれてありがとうございます。 I couldn't forget this song for all day after i heard this for the first time at the 5th live. The gap between fragile silence and it's chorus that show us beautiful world is really awesome. And the tears come into my eyes because of it's beautiful tender lyrics for each of us. mumei, TKN, i really thank you for delivering such a amazing song.
This song was so beautiful . Little Mumei holding up her lantern and waving it around kinda makes me sad but happy at the same time. While it's obvious that lanterns do help you see a little better and provide a sense of safety while you're wandering around aimlessly in the darkness, that light also acts as a beacon, too, so that anyone else out there who also may be wandering aimlessly in the dark can find you and offer help
Mumei, This is a very touching song. Having your name being "Nameless" has a melancholic feel. We all know you as "no one" in a sense, but i promise you are quite a "someone" in many Hoomans lives. I know the journey you've had up to this point has been rough at times, but the perseverance and dedication you show is deserving of the support you get Keep Moomin.
Using translators, I was able to grasp a bit of your feelings. This Song and Video Combo is something special. I love it already. I hope you grow more confident in trying to express your feelings in english!
According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the human soul is divided into five aspects: The ba is your personality. It's the closest thing to what we would call the "soul" today. The ib is your heart. It also represents your morality, the sum of all of your good and bad deeds in life. The ka is your life force. It could also be described as your "energy". The sheut is your shadow. This is your entire impact on the people and world around you. The ren is your name. It's the sum of your life experiences that make you who you are today. I think the lantern Mumei is carrying is her ren. One day the world will forget about her completely, and her name will be lost to time. But no matter how small and insignificant her flame is, as long as someone is out there to remember her, that's enough to keep her going. 3:18 "Within this world, you are somewhere / Now I'll keep going as Mumei"😭
I don't know, Mumei is supposed to be the Guardian of civilization, I kinda doubt that her lantern has to do with anything metaphysical. If I had to guess Mumei is using her lantern in this MV to look for humans (civilization), much like the Philosopher Diogenes did, heck even the opening lines of the song "all I remember is that I forgot" are very close to Socrates's "I know that I know nothing" saying. As for Mumei's name, as she has stated she has had many names over her lifespan that she forgot(presumably given to her by the current civilization's "inhabitants" ,names that were forgotten as the civilizations fell.), and so long as humanity exists ,so will civilization and in extension Mumei to carry on her role as its guardian. And if Mumei's lantern has anything to do with her role as the guardian of civilization is that it houses fire, that is arguably one of Humanity's most important discoveries and an essential factor for civilization to thrive.
Im a grown man in my 30s. Im a mechanic and pretty much am set in my ways. I have a pessimistic way of looking at life and have been told by many i have no empathy. But this... this song first thing this morning had me emotional lying in bed. In a good way. Mumei amidst all the funny, twisted and down right bubbly personality you choose to show us; these soft, caring and optimistic songs hit hard. I am greatful for you and your staff for your hardwork and care you put in for us.
Hail, fellow mechanic! 7 year VW/Audi tech myself. Couldn't agree more. I don't know if it's the melody or her singing, but this had my eyes leaking like a TSI water pump. 😭
"All I remember is that I forgot" Is such a cold and tragic way for a song to start, but I love it so much. It had my heart beating from the very start.
This is a song that has meaning but cannot be named. It's like here everyone knows each other but no one really knows their names. I love this song , thank you Mumei.
@@Kinzoku_jpI don't think anyone will think the same. The feeling when listening to this song is similar to shelter , A feeling of hope and acceptance that is at a level where we can cry and smile together.
5thライブで「mumei」を歌ってくれて、リスナーへの愛を唄ってくれてありがとう。 無名のHoomansだけど、あなたのおかげで、明日も世界のどこかで生きていけます。🪶 Thank you for singing "mumei" at the 5th live and for singing about love for the listeners. I may be an unknown Hoomans, but thanks to you, I can still live somewhere in the world tomorrow. Thanks so much,moom.

3 years in this rabbit hole and the amount of fun memories I've had is immeasurable i just got hit by biggest "future nostalgia" if this is even a thing we'll all eventually go and do our own things but i feel like in the future we'll all remember the fond memories we've had in this moment probably when im old I'll remember this song and the rush of memories is going to hit me hard
Damn the thought of everyone eventually going their separate ways in the future with this song playing in the background gets me a little choked up. Let’s enjoy the ride while we can!
Hopefully, it doesn't change completely before that day comes, leaving a sour aftertaste in our memories instead. That happened with anime industry and a lot of games for me.
We often joke around how weird and different Mumei is from the rest of the world, but the truth is we deeply associate ourselves with your thoughts and experience. We finally found someone who may actually represent us and that is why so many people love you and will love you forever.
I actually cannot get over how hard the shot of Mumei waving the lantern around and smiling hits me. Some of my favorite imagery to ever come out of a hololive music video.
This song and MV hits really hard to me.I will listen to this song every day from now on. Mumei is a Guardian of “Civilization”. She will guide humanity not to get lost with lantern. Mumei, It took really long time for you to reach from 'nameless' to 'mumei'. I've been watching you for a long time, So I know there were a hard times. And now, I'm so proud of you for having your own name. As always, I will follow your journey gladly. And no matter what, I'll always cheer and support you. 사랑해요 무메이!
32 years of living and even with siblings, a mother and an extended family, I still feel terribly lonely. Buts songs like this have always given me hope for better things. Thank you so much Mumie for this cute and emotional little tune.
Lonely but not alone. Look at what you became part of! A story cannot exist without it crossing through other stories. So keep going, keep living. Your story will cross others, even without a name.
Mumei has always been a consistently talented singer in HoloEN... but with this? She's gone over and beyond. It's like listening to someone sing about herself. The depths of her identity. What it means to be the Speaker of Civilization. It made me cry a bit - and I think, while it's an unintended emotion, it's me resonating with the emotions brought about by this song. That, combined with the animation, makes for an amazing MV. Thank you, Mumei. Thank you for reminding me why a departed friend of mine considered you as his oshi. Never stop being amazing. 🤎🤎🤎
Mumei's lore is so sad. Nothing more heartwrenching that loneliness and being forgotten. Very well done animations and the music of course was off the charts.
Sincerely one of the most artistic and unique MVs that I've seen from a Hololive original song. Not just that, but it's such an emotional song, too. Here's hoping that it reaches millions of people, out there. ❤
I started crying so hard at 3:10-3:25. At first you think she still has an emotionless face but then it zooms in and then you see she's smiling. The lyrics right before this part also hit home.
I'm JapanNiki, so I'll use the translation.🙇♂️ This song is very well sung by Mumei, and it fits Mumei's calm voice very well!🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 I really like this song!♥️ I love Mumei!!!!!! Glad I could find Mumei!🥰
At 5th fes I burst out crying really hard. Mumei's tender voice, the venue full of lightblue and green colors, and slow penlight wave, all of there made me very emotional. That was really great performance. Thank you Mumei. Big love from Japan💙
Has Mumei's name meaning nameless in japanese been a known thing? I just learned it and I'm not ok... Man, Mumei keeps making songs that make me feel things... This is beautiful.
Kind of, it was mentioned a bit during her debut by some Live TL guys giving context in chat but rarely brought up after that so if you weren't there during debut it's totally understandable that you didn't know that.
Saw a clip from Kiara pre-debut, post-announcement, talking about how Nanashi Mumei means no name, no name, anonymous anonymous, and then made the Who Who joke, since owl noise. It just depends if you find the right stuff at the right times when peeps are talking about it. No worries.
Remember when she asked Calli to translate most of A New Start to English for her because she wasn't confident she could sing a whole song in Japanese? Our birb has come a long way
Yep, I remember that. And when Calli took two or three days to get back to her with the *completed* work, our Mori apologized for taking so long. Dad was CRAZY BUSY when that happened and Mumei couldn't wrap her head around how a few days was a long time for that sort of thing.
@@andyjo7838 Calli is the type of person that even if she is incredibly busy she would drop everything to help a friend not to mention her new Kouhai Mumei.
seeing so many comments in other languages speaks volumes to how love is universal. Your song is so beautiful and I’m happy to see your voice shine across the globe
I found the song by chance. The first time I listened to this, I was just vibing to it while working. Somehow, the song hurt my heart. After a while, I came across it again and listened to it while reading the lyrics. Gosh, the tears just started flowing. It felt like I was finally able to release something from my heart. Mumei, I want to express my gratitude for bringing this song. It has such beautiful lyrics, and your vocal delivery was outstanding.
3:18 That dorky little grin is hilarious and fits so well. This whole song is a work of art though. The melody, the lyrics, the storytelling...they're top tier. Mumei's singing is downright amazing, and I hope she releases more projects like this in the future.
Every so often, the girls come out with a song that is genuinely something really very special, and this is Mumei's. Sweet, sad, and yet somehow still hopeful. What a wonderful song
This is probably the first HoloEn song that made me cry during my first listen. The pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has made a toll on my mental health. It was the worst headspace I've been in. And that's when CouncilRys or I should say, Promise debuted. They genuinely have saved me from the worst hole I've been in and since then, I've been trying to find who I am and my purpose. This song reminded me of why I started. My true self is still out there and I'm going to find it. Thank you Mumei.
I don't understand why men need to clarify how old they are before sharing that they felt the emotion sadness. You can be 97, 22, 36, it's okay to cry man. Your body has the capability to have emotions for a reason. We're social creatures. It shows we are vulnerable and might need help to others. It's just weird. Hey I'm a 29 year old man, am I allowed to smile?
@@namelessbacon9483i think that’s the message that OP wanted to convey, and they stated their age to show that it’s ok to cry and that they’re glad to call this song a masterpiece
Decided to try out music in the VTubing community, saw Mumei thinking "I didn't know she did music". Didn't know hololive members all sang. It probably doesn't mean much, but This is Truly Beautiful, & Genuinely Soul Touching. The Singing, Composition, the Art and Illustration. An Ironically Resplendent and Radiant feeling of Hope is felt. To be born in a world so full of Darkness & Cruelty. Looking for someone or something, a purpose or a person, to truly connect with feels bleak, even impossible. You could spend forever only hoping to find a glimpse or a remnant of what makes you feel truly alive. You cannot control the people around you, the environment you have to start growing in and get through, the circumstances that affect & can determine most of your life. How the void in oneself that constantly eats away at you, how long it stays, how much it takes and tolls your mind and body. Yet somehow when you are faced with this strife we experience all throughout life, we grow. A spark of joy in knowing the lives you can affect along the way. The smiles you can bring, the tears you can shed, the burdens you can share. No matter how small you feel in a world as huge as we live in. Maybe names are forgotten, but memories are shared, your name and face can be forgotten but does that mean you did not live life? No, the lives we've touched, the light we've shed, the places we've nurtured and built, everything will go on. To know a face, or a name, to have met or not. To find happiness in knowing you've shed a light for others to see its shine, feel its warmth and experience its awe and inspiration is a wondrous feeling. That in your pursuit of purpose, meaning, or a connection to or with others, that somehow you are what someone else was looking for and hoping to find. It's Magic. For those who read this, I Thank you for your time, Sorry I got carried away. I try to avoid commenting & writing things especially like this. I didn't want to waste my time alive not saying how I feel. I wish you the best, and for Hope to have found their way to you. Thank You to everyone that worked on this song as well, it helps a lot when you come together to make something as inspiring as this for others to see and hear. TKN-Tokkun, Mumei, and Otori. 💛
5th.fes 『Capture the moment』現地で初めて聴いてムメイのかわいらしい歌声と歌詞に心奪われ定期的に聴くようになるくらいこの楽曲が好きになりました❤ ムメイ、素敵な楽曲をありがとう😊 heard "Capture the moment" for the first time at 5th.fes and was so taken by Mumei's lovely voice and lyrics that I fell in love with this song and started to listen to it regularly.❤ Thank you, Mumei, for this wonderful song 😊.

歌詞
忘れてしまったことだけを覚えている
ぽかりと空いた穴の先で君と出会った
名前も顔もわからない君
なんだか懐かしいような気がした
互いに穴埋めていくように
ふざけあって 笑いあって
世界のどこかにいる君のため
今生きているよ僕ら無名のまま
例えばこれが映し出された幻でも
確かに感じる今君がそこにいること
名前も顔もわからない君
さよならしてしまえば終わりだ
君がいなきゃ穴は大きくなる
構わないさ すぐ見つかる
世界のどこかにいる君はどこ
今ここにいるよ私 “無名”
あたりは一面真っ暗な世界
真っ逆さまに落ちていく
無名だからこの世界には
忘れられ消えちゃうの
それでも君が求めるのなら
この胸に空いた穴に今
君から私へ風は通り抜け
一羽の鳥が今君の元へと行く
世界のどこかにいる君のため
今生きていくよ私 “ムメイ”のまま
i'm in love tbh
oh hi!
wow
Expectation =
Reality =
What an amazing song. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little teary eyed from the lyrics
@@DBT1007 To be totally fair, despite the uplifting feel of this song, the embrace of what her name means, it's still pretty dark. I mean, check how the video ends. Soft and sweet, but still very melancholic and not without a touch of existential horror lurking beneath the saccharin tone.
@@imc347that's a fair assumption. The teaser didn't help either.
That's all just part of the amazing package that is our adorable Guardian of Civilization! 🤎
I feel like watching Limbo man... so good mumei
@@MikhailRinn69I was thinking about Limbo the whole way through
I think the best part of the song is when she says "As Mumei" because the lyrics didn't change, she just came to know herself rather than being nameless.
Its definitely the most beautiful part of the song
I think a better translation for that would be "Mumei is my name" to parallel the first version of that line a bit better, but obviously that doesn't really change anything with the song itself.
It kinda did actually, at least in the japanese subs
it was first written with the kanji "無名" then later on the last part it was written in katakana (ムメイ) like how her name is written
@@gazelle_diamond9768Not really. まま simply describes a state of being, so Xのまま is to be (or remain) in state X. Since the entire sentence is to live (in the declarative using よ), then both lines will translate to "For now, we are living/I will go on (living) as [mumei]". The main distinction I think here is that the second time around when her name is translated directly, the English decides to capitalize it as "Mumei", making it clear that the persona in the song is, in fact, Mumei. But since the title of the song is a lower case "mumei", this implies that Mumei is encouraging us to self-insert in her story of self-actualization (i.e. going from a common noun "mumei" to a proper noun "Mumei" - an actual name, no longer "nameless". EDIT: quite similarly, the Japanese subtitles does this as well transitioning from 無名 to ムメイ). This is all the more reason why I feel that the song is so well thought out in terms of language, musicality, and visual spectacle. Despite Mumei trying to downlplay everything in her follow up stream, I think she really outdid herself this time. Props to Mumei, TKN, and Ootori-san for doing such an amazing job.
I just read this comment while listening to the song, and suddenly the whole meaning of the song clicked in my head and gave me a big ol bucket of feels. I didn’t realize how much Mumei’s VTuber name actually means to her. (I know she’s talked about it and someone clipped a 15 minute segment of it, but I haven’t watched that yet. But I bet it’s gonna leave me in my feels when I do watch it.)
EDIT: YEP, I watched it and got another bucket of feels I wasn’t prepped for 😭
最初この曲はムメイちゃんのための曲なのかと思っていましたが、聞いてみるとこれは私やあなたに向けた曲、私たちのための曲でもあるのだと思いました。曲名がMumeiではなくmumeiなのは、固有名詞ではない、名もない者たちへの勇気づけるための曲であるからなのだと感じました。そしてmumeiであることは決してマイナスなことではなく、可能性に満ちたことなのだと言われているように感じました。この世界に住むほとんどの人間のことを私たちは知らないし、知らないまま生きていくことのだと思いますが、重要なのはその誰かの名前がどうなのかではなく、私という存在がいることであり、あなたという存在がきっとこの世界にいるということなのだと。それをムメイちゃんが微笑みながら寄り添うように歌いかけてきてくれることがとても素敵だと思いました。
At first I thought this song was for Mumei, but when I listen to it, I realized that this song is also for you and me, for us. I felt that the reason why the name of the song is "mumei " and not "Mumei" , because it is not a proper noun, but a song to encourage the nameless. I also felt that being a mumei is not a negative thing, but a thing full of possibilities. We don't know most of the people who live in this world, and we will continue to live without knowing them, but what is important is not what someone's names are, but that I am here, and you must be in this world. I thought it was wonderful that Mumei sang to us with smiling and like standing close to us.
That's DEEP. My brain explodes.
素敵やん
視野が広がっててありがとうございます。素敵です！
Well said!
somehow the music vibe sounds like porter robinson or honeycomebear to me, very nice good mv and deep lore of "mumei" 😭
yes, finally someone said this has hcb vibes
Me too. This reminds me of Shelter by Porter and Madeon. They both made a song with the animation that made me cry.
This, gave me the same vibes as Shelter 🥺. I don't wanna see another sad ending but luckily Moom is not alone in the end.
Too True
Spot on!
無名(Mumei) in Japanese
=not famous
=anonymity
=obscurity
=nobody knows
=without a name
=nameless
but she sang "as Mumei"
because she is Mumei
If you can do a breakdown for Nanashi too, as that's part of Mumei's name play (even if has nothing to do with the song specifically), it would help people realize how playful of a name Nanashi Mumei is.
Ofc I know her.
I didn't know thank you so much
"七詩(nanashi)"ってのは日本語でそのまま七つの詩(seven poems)って意味なんだけど
これはnamelessを意味する"名無し(nanashi)"と発音が同じなわけ
ちなみに"ムメイ(mumei)"はカタカナなので音を表すだけ
漢字と違ってカタカナ自体に意味は無いからね
無名(mumei)を意図してつけられてる名前ではあるけど
つまり
七詩/名無し(nanashi)
ムメイ/無名(mumei)
性と名どちらもnamelessという意味が込められてる
そういう言葉遊びによる名前だね
日本語って面白い
in addition:
Nanashi(名無し) = Wago(和語),
Mumei(無名) = Kango(漢語)
Simply thinking, "Wago(和語)" means Japanese traditionaled word
"Kango(漢語)" is Japanese but Chinese-origin word
There actually isn’t much of a difference between those, but if i had to say,
When to Use:
和語(wago)→ Casual, Daily
漢語(Kango) → Formal, seriously
hope this helps
My interpretation of the song’s story:
Mumei was lost and alone in the world, not really sure what to do. A nameless person will never be known or loved, destined to be forgotten. It hurts, because nobody wants to be alone, so she desperately wanted to find someone. The only clue she has is a lantern and a letter she found in the darkness. She doesn’t know the name or the face of the person who wrote the letter, but it was all she has, so she clings to it and it pushed her forward in the hopes of someday finding the letter’s author. In her head she’s imagining all the fun things they will do together. In her travels she meets the lady on the water. Who is this lady? She was someone else just like Mumei. This lady tells her to stop chasing shadows. This is when Mumei’s eyes are opened. You will never find someone chasing the idea of a person. Only by putting yourself out there to be seen will people find you. Looking at the lantern and no longer hiding under a hood she changes her position from a seeker to guide and is able to be a light in the darkness for others who were like her. She knows what it is like because she was just like them. She journeys across the darkness and other mumeis see her. The truth is that the world was never empty. She had focused on this one person in a letter that she could not see all the people who were around. And one day someone in the darkness finds her. Is this the person she was longing for? No, but this person is real and here now and that is worth so much more than some idea of a person. Eventually endings happen, but the world keeps going. The whale isn’t gonna stop swimming just because a light has gone out. The whale probably doesn’t even know it crossed the lantern holder’s path.
You’re going to need to be okay with that.
If you feel alone in the darkness desperately looking for someone, at the end of the song is a lantern left for you. It even has your name on it. Stop hiding your face, pick up that lantern and hold it up for someone to find you. It may not be the person you were looking for, but it will be even greater.
It’s not a self titled song. It’s a song for you.
If it's wrong to think this is the best headcanon then I don't want to be right 😩😖🤭
Hope you get a lot more likes...
@@meh6513i’ll be honest, this comment scared me to post. It had been turning in my mind since the video came out and I knew I had to write it eventually. I didn’t want to write it too early because if people liked it my thoughts would end up in the top comments somewhere. When I saw she was gonna have a talk about the song i thought, “oh thank goodness. She’ll set the record straight and I can comment guilt free knowing I’m wrong.” But then her thoughts were, “wouldn’t it be a cool if a whale was there?” Mumei! What are you doing to me? Plan B now was to post the comment at an inconvenient time in hopes that it is both late enough to not be in the first wave of comments and late enough to be buried in a wave of new comments. I kinda wanted my comment to be thrown into the sea never to be seen by anyone, least of all Mumei herself. Imagine my surprise that not only did I get a reply, it has way more likes than I was expecting. 3 was my high estimate before it should have been buried from sort by Newest.
But I am glad it resonated with people. To anyone reading this, when the day comes you pick up your lantern, it may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, it may not even be next year; i have no idea when it will happen, but hold it up with pride and someone will find you. I was trying to not be seen and people found me, coward that I am.
Appreciate how you ended it. As someone who works in helping people heal and reconnect. The hardest lesson is getting people to find the courage, strength, and flexibility to pick up that lantern and go live life.
Life is full of unknown but just like mumei, there is a lot of life worth adventuring for, just remember you're doing it for your own smile.
@@orangeapples lol 😂 but you clearly mean the best for people so that can be your excuse for if someone gets murdered or something trying to socialize with other people and mistakenly choosing the wrong one... (I'm lonely and it's my fault LMAO) but semi jokes aside many people who want to substantiate the feelings they get from the song but can't quite use it as a motivational song I think this comment slots in well enough...
I mean society won't let things go your way and so I'm sure you will keep getting likes I imagine, since i saw you with 10 likes and made my comment after having found your analysis and final statement befitting a standard that people with hundreds or thousands of likes deserve...
I hope you find a settings to mute the like milestone notifications if you can't get over the attention...please just don't delete the original comment or delete the comment just cause you dislike the notifications I'm sure somewhere in the settings you can find a middle ground for us and your feelings...
@@meh6513 don’t worry. The truth is that I am afraid of not being seen. It isn’t a dislike of attention. When you put a piece of yourself out there like that it hurts when it isn’t acknowledged by others. So i took every step possible to sabotage the comment thinking, “if nobody sees it, then my plan worked.” Being affirmed is just fine with me.
Mumei singing this in the 5th Fes was such a blessing to my ears and a total tearjerker...
What a beautiful song!
Oh hello GOT 🎉
Yooo good to see you dude
😮
After a quick read on what "Mumei" means, and just with reading the lyrics, this song becomes more than just a catchy song, it becomes a song about being "nameless", knowing that you wont be remembered and finally living with that fact but still moving forward.
I love you Mooms, never change and we Hoomans will always be there for you, even when you are "nameless"
You know what's crazy? "Nanashi" also literally means nameless.
@@SenseofNoneYTI almost didn't believe this, but holy heck it is.
@@SenseofNoneYTIt gets better. "Nanashi" is written using the characters 七詩, which literally means "seven poems". This is likely in reference to "The poem of Seven Steps" of Chinese origin (七步詩). This is an allegorical summary of major events in Chinese history and was referenced in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It basically illustrates the irony of a situation where a pot of beans are being cooked using fire stoked by the stems of the same plant where the beans came from. It highlights the farce of human conflict and I think is a very apt summary of Mumei's lore as the Guardian of Civilization. Everything about this Owl is just amazing.
EDIT: I just recognized the name of the account I was replying to. Amazing job on the Kaela vs. Biboo short you did!
Will you still be there when she’s gone?
@@SenseofNoneYT “Nanashi” can also be written as the characters “名無”, which mean “nameless” in Japanese.
When she sang that one part that goes like,
_”All I remember is that I forgot_
_Leaving a void within, but now I’ve met you_
_I don’t know your name or what you look like_
_Yet you feel so familiar_
_Making up for what we’re missing_
_We laugh and we smile_
_Within this world,_
_You are somewhere_
_For now we’ll keep going on_
_Without a name_
_Even if all of this turns out to be a mirage_
_I’ll still feel your presence out there_
_I don’t know your name or what you look like_
_Say "goodbye" and it will all be over_
_Without you, this void will only grow_
_No matter what, I’ll find you soon_
_Within this world,_
_Where are you?_
_Right now_
_I’m here,_
_I am_
_Nameless_
_A world of darkness surrounds me_
_As I fall headlong_
_Because I am nameless, this world_
_Will forget me, and I’ll disappear_
_But if I am what you are looking for_
_Through the void of my heart_
_A wind will blow from me to you_
_And a bird will come meet you_
_Within this world,_
_You are somewhere_
_Now, I’ll keep going_
_As Mumei”_
I felt that.
It's literally the Whole song dude 😭
@@ibnuflannerydarmawanthat’s the point I believe
lmao you got me
Yo chil bro 🗿
I'm so happy she sang this song at 5th Fes, because now I see all these new people commenting about hearing the song for the first time and how it moved them. Thank you Mumei, TKN, and Big Bird for creating a piece of art that means so much to so many people across different languages and cultures.
I became a fan as soon as I heard her song for the first time.
The sheer number of languages being written down in the comments goes to show the power of this song. Mumei is a kind enough soul to be able to unite people across the world!
Honestly I got this song on loop reading all these comments and it makes my eyes water, our little Owl sure is impressive 🤎
English, Korean, Japanese, -many- a few (confirmed) Chinese, some Russian... found a Spanish comment... wow, a comment in -Arabic- Hindi... that's a surprise... that makes 7 languages I can see on short scrolling.
Add Indonesian to the list. Found it farther down.
@@andyjo7838the civilization is here to be by moom side
Well, she is the Guardian of Civilization after all.
Honestly this is the most multilingual comment section I have seen in a while for a holoEN video atleast lol. Good thing I installed the extension that can translate all these comments.
EDIT: Does it maybe have anything to do with having subtitles for multiple languages? Like maybe youtube recommending it more to people who speak those languages.
Who else teared up listening to this song and reading the lyrics. It’s one of those songs that you feel so emotional but can’t figure out why
Yes me too
I can, but then existential dread is a core part of my very being. This is an extremely bittersweet song in relation to that.
I did and I wasn't prepared to tear up this early in the morning
@@Tekkuuunah. It’s just the music. The lyrics are uninspired
its abit bittersweet, she went from being nameless, in japanese being mumei, and embracing the name and actually named herself mumei. look at the lyrics in the earlier verse, the lyrics wrote nameless, and at the later verse, it wrote mumei.
有趣的是因為年歲過於長遠，我們的文明守護者連自己的名字都忘記了，所以Nanashi Mumei的名字本身就是「無名」的意思，所以這也是一首沒有名字的歌曲。
Yes, me too. I only know I am hooman now
translation: It's interesting to note that because the years have gone by so long, our civilization keepers have forgotten even their own names, so Nanashi Mumei's name itself means "no name", so this is also a song without a name.
5thライブで初めて聞きましたが今日ずっと脳裏に焼き付いて離れませんでした。
儚げな静寂から美しく強烈な世界観をたたきつけてくるサビは素晴らしく、
私たち一人一人へ向けた優しく美しい歌詞に感極まって涙が出てしまいます。
ムメイさん、TKNさん、こんなに素晴らしい楽曲を届けてくれてありがとうございます。
I couldn't forget this song for all day after i heard this for the first time at the 5th live.
The gap between fragile silence and it's chorus that show us beautiful world is really awesome.
And the tears come into my eyes because of it's beautiful tender lyrics for each of us.
mumei, TKN, i really thank you for delivering such a amazing song.
This song was so beautiful . Little Mumei holding up her lantern and waving it around kinda makes me sad but happy at the same time. While it's obvious that lanterns do help you see a little better and provide a sense of safety while you're wandering around aimlessly in the darkness, that light also acts as a beacon, too, so that anyone else out there who also may be wandering aimlessly in the dark can find you and offer help
Mumei,
This is a very touching song. Having your name being "Nameless" has a melancholic feel. We all know you as "no one" in a sense, but i promise you are quite a "someone" in many Hoomans lives.
I know the journey you've had up to this point has been rough at times, but the perseverance and dedication you show is deserving of the support you get
Keep Moomin.
這首歌完全不是v的格局所能限制的啊，我很少用中文在非中文的頻道留言，但是這次我實在怕我沒辦法好好的用英文說出我所受到的觸動，樸實的旋律，配上Mumei那平淡卻包含感情的聲音，加上歌詞所表達的內容，MV的畫面呈現，只能有一個讚真的是太少了
我只能說這首歌是我覺得數一數二的原創歌，能卡在腦海深處，很難膩味的那種，真的很喜歡memei的歌聲，也期待未來更多美好的作品❤
Most english viewers will be able to understand your sentiment and meaning, and we're all glad you enjoy it as much as the rest of us.
Using translators, I was able to grasp a bit of your feelings.
This Song and Video Combo is something special. I love it already.
I hope you grow more confident in trying to express your feelings in english!
According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the human soul is divided into five aspects:
The ba is your personality. It's the closest thing to what we would call the "soul" today.
The ib is your heart. It also represents your morality, the sum of all of your good and bad deeds in life.
The ka is your life force. It could also be described as your "energy".
The sheut is your shadow. This is your entire impact on the people and world around you.
The ren is your name. It's the sum of your life experiences that make you who you are today.
I think the lantern Mumei is carrying is her ren. One day the world will forget about her completely, and her name will be lost to time. But no matter how small and insignificant her flame is, as long as someone is out there to remember her, that's enough to keep her going.
3:18 "Within this world, you are somewhere / Now I'll keep going as Mumei"😭
I don't know, Mumei is supposed to be the Guardian of civilization, I kinda doubt that her lantern has to do with anything metaphysical.
If I had to guess Mumei is using her lantern in this MV to look for humans (civilization), much like the Philosopher Diogenes did, heck even the opening lines of the song "all I remember is that I forgot" are very close to Socrates's "I know that I know nothing" saying.
As for Mumei's name, as she has stated she has had many names over her lifespan that she forgot(presumably given to her by the current civilization's "inhabitants" ,names that were forgotten as the civilizations fell.), and so long as humanity exists ,so will civilization and in extension Mumei to carry on her role as its guardian.
And if Mumei's lantern has anything to do with her role as the guardian of civilization is that it houses fire, that is arguably one of Humanity's most important discoveries and an essential factor for civilization to thrive.
"Mumei" can also mean "Nameless"
@@kusanagi-no-tachi5303nanashi is nameless. No name. Mumei is more like unknown or something like that
@@DBT1007 無名 (Mumei) is literally No (無) Name (名). Translated, Mumei means Anonymous. I know my Japanese.
nanashi mumei can also be translated to "Who Who" an owl sound.
Seeing numerous languages in the comment like English Japanese Chinese Korean Russian Spanish etc really warms my heart❤Idowl is loved worldwide!
Yes, lots of languages.
As well as the comment I see right below yours. It's in -Arabic- Hindi (says google translate).
It's so appropriate for Civilization
Fr there’s so many different languages in the comments from owl around the world. Globowl idowl (how many owl puns in 2 sentences is too much)
It’s honestly very fitting considering that’s what a real civilization looks like
Mumei demostrando que representa a la civilizacion
Im a grown man in my 30s. Im a mechanic and pretty much am set in my ways. I have a pessimistic way of looking at life and have been told by many i have no empathy. But this... this song first thing this morning had me emotional lying in bed. In a good way. Mumei amidst all the funny, twisted and down right bubbly personality you choose to show us; these soft, caring and optimistic songs hit hard. I am greatful for you and your staff for your hardwork and care you put in for us.
Hail, fellow mechanic! 7 year VW/Audi tech myself.
Couldn't agree more. I don't know if it's the melody or her singing, but this had my eyes leaking like a TSI water pump. 😭
empathy is something you can work on and develop if you look inwards.
Yeah, mechanics for Mumei, let's gooooo!!
Amazing song Mumei
Hololive 5th fes でこの曲聞いてから好きになった
"All I remember is that I forgot" Is such a cold and tragic way for a song to start, but I love it so much. It had my heart beating from the very start.
This is a song that has meaning but cannot be named.
It's like here everyone knows each other but no one really knows their names.
I love this song , thank you Mumei.
She who saw it all. Nanashi Mumei, The Guardian of Civilization.
It reminds me of something Porter Robinson would make and Im a big fan of his music rn.
@@Kinzoku_jp Agreed.
@@Kinzoku_jpI don't think anyone will think the same.
The feeling when listening to this song is similar to shelter , A feeling of hope and acceptance that is at a level where we can cry and smile together.
Best song ever (I’m a certified time traveler)

忘れてしまったことだけ覚えている
All I remember is that I forgot
忘記了 是唯獨記得的一件事
ぽかりと空いた穴の先で君と出会った
Leaving a void within, but now I've met
那少了什麼的空蕩蕩的洞(心) 與你相遇了
名前も顔もわからない君
I don't know your name or what you look like
名字也好臉也好都不知道的你
なんだか懐かしいような気がした
Yet you feel so familiar
總覺得有種令人懷念的感覺
互いに穴埋めていくように
Making up for what we're missing
像是彼此填滿空缺的那樣
ふざけあって 笑い合って
We laugh and we smile
互相打鬧 一起歡笑
世界のどこかにいる君のため
Within this world you are somewhere
為了在身處世界某一個角落的你
今生きているよ僕ら無名のまま
For now we'll keep going on without a name
現在正活著的我們啊 仍然無名
例えばこれが映したされた幻でも
Even if all of this turns out to be a mirage
即便現在所照映出來的全是幻影也好
確かに感じる今君がそこにいること
I'll still feel your presence out there
但也能千真萬確的感受到你就在那裡
名前も顔もわからない君
I don't know your name or what you look like
那個名字也好臉也罷都不知曉的你
さよならしてしまえば終わりだ
Say "goodbye" and it will all be over
道聲再見的話便會就此終結
君にいなきゃ穴は大きくなる
Without you, this void will only grow
若沒有你的話 空洞便逐漸擴大了起來
構わないさ すぐ見つかる
No matter what, I'll find you soon
那也無所謂 會馬上找到的
世界のどこかにいる君はどこ
Within this world where are you?
在身處世界某一個角落的你究竟在哪
今ここにいるよ私 無名
Right now I am here I am... nameless
現在在這裡的我 沒有名字
あたりは一面真っ暗な世界
A world of darkness surrounds me
這個周邊全是黑暗的世界之中
真っ逆さまに落ちていく
as I fall headlong
倒反的落入其中
無名だからこの世界には
Because I am nameless, this world
正因為我是 無名 才會被這世界
忘れられ消えちゃうの
will forget me, and I'll disappear
忘卻而逐漸消失不見
それでも君が求めるのなら
But if I am what you are looking for
即使如此你仍然想追尋這樣的我
この胸に空いた穴に今
Through the void of my heart
胸口這掏空的大洞如今
君から私へ風は通り抜け
A wind will blow from me to you
拂過了由你向我吹來的風
一羽の鳥が今
And a bird will
一隻鳥現在
君の元へといく
come meet you
向你的身邊前往
世界のどこかにいる君のため

3 years in this rabbit hole
and the amount of fun memories I've had is immeasurable
i just got hit by biggest "future nostalgia" if this is even a thing
we'll all eventually go and do our own things
but i feel like in the future we'll all remember the fond memories we've had in this moment
probably when im old I'll remember this song and the rush of memories is going to hit me hard
Damn the thought of everyone eventually going their separate ways in the future with this song playing in the background gets me a little choked up. Let’s enjoy the ride while we can!
HoloLive will remain in a special place in my heart once we all go our own way.
Hopefully, it doesn't change completely before that day comes, leaving a sour aftertaste in our memories instead.
That happened with anime industry and a lot of games for me.
You guys mean mumeiries. Right?
And then all those TOWL moment memories will come back hitting you smack in the head
We often joke around how weird and different Mumei is from the rest of the world, but the truth is we deeply associate ourselves with your thoughts and experience. We finally found someone who may actually represent us and that is why so many people love you and will love you forever.
5thで初めて聴き感動してここにきました
無名さんへようこそ。私たちは皆、笑顔と涙を持っています。
僕のそうです
I actually cannot get over how hard the shot of Mumei waving the lantern around and smiling hits me. Some of my favorite imagery to ever come out of a hololive music video.
真是一首好歌，搭配MV讓人有莫名的沉浸感
聽的時候，不知道想到什麼，莫名其妙就讓人想哭，
聽到最後又覺得很暖，
另外mumei的嗓音真的很棒。
MUMEI 跟 GURA 一樣 日文對話可以說基本不熟 但是羅馬拼音下的日文歌 可以唱出很沉浸感的語調
這首給人穿梭了一切的感覺，愛極
This song and MV hits really hard to me.I will listen to this song every day from now on.
Mumei is a Guardian of “Civilization”. She will guide humanity not to get lost with lantern.
Mumei, It took really long time for you to reach from 'nameless' to 'mumei'. I've been watching you for a long time, So I know there were a hard times.
And now, I'm so proud of you for having your own name.
As always, I will follow your journey gladly.
And no matter what, I'll always cheer and support you. 사랑해요 무메이!
Porter robinson must watch this
It does have that vibe
the moment the instrumental played, i suddenly remembered shelter TT
It has the same 'hopeful' vibes like Porter robinson songs
Damn if you told me this was a Porter Robinson joint I would totally believe you. Incredible song, that chorus is definitely going to be an earworm
@payableondeath7
I was looking for someone else to point that out 😅, also a bit of Madeon too. Overall it's a really great vibe!
I know right
I'm still waiting for that day. Porter Robinson/Madeon/SnailHouse/MoeShop x Hololive. Just like last event with deco Nina.
BRO FOR REAL! I JUST COMMENTED THAT TOO LOL. Really does have Porter Robinson vibes.
@@MelancholyZeitgeistJP will have low chance. We can just hope for EN and ID for this
32 years of living and even with siblings, a mother and an extended family, I still feel terribly lonely. Buts songs like this have always given me hope for better things.
Thank you so much Mumie for this cute and emotional little tune.
Amazing job mooms
Lonely but not alone. Look at what you became part of! A story cannot exist without it crossing through other stories. So keep going, keep living. Your story will cross others, even without a name.
The song has the same vibes and goosebumps as Peter Robinson's Shelter. I love it.
I knew I wasn't alone, fits the vibes of all of his album worlds!
You beat me to it. I was thinking thr same thing. The song is beautiful!
That was the first thing i thought of too
It gets me all teary eyed just like Shelter too 🥲 Mumei really outdid herself with this one 🤎
Ah yes my favorite artist PETER ROBINSON
LIVEで泣きました
ありがとう本当に🥲
Mumei has always been a consistently talented singer in HoloEN... but with this? She's gone over and beyond. It's like listening to someone sing about herself. The depths of her identity. What it means to be the Speaker of Civilization. It made me cry a bit - and I think, while it's an unintended emotion, it's me resonating with the emotions brought about by this song. That, combined with the animation, makes for an amazing MV.
Thank you, Mumei.
Thank you for reminding me why a departed friend of mine considered you as his oshi.
Never stop being amazing. 🤎🤎🤎
Mooms is "Guardian of Civilization"
Your friend had good taste.
@@calamityknyte thank you. :')
Just the thumnail alone gives me chills , can't wait for it
Verdad bro xd
Estoy llorando en esta tribuna
Mumei's lore is so sad. Nothing more heartwrenching that loneliness and being forgotten. Very well done animations and the music of course was off the charts.
Honestly, I always get some strong To Your Eternity vibes from Mumei's lore and this new song only reinforces it for me.
Don't worry, Council now with hope fully integrated has become Promise, and i find it very fitting with their lore
今日初めてフェスで聴いて感動して泣いてしまった。ありがとう。
I love the way Mumei conveys the messages in the lyrics as it feels like an actual old forgotten story (indeed it is)
我一開始覺得這首歌是情書，是給我們每一名觀眾的情書，訴說著「即使我們誰都不是，但是若果我們能夠相遇，我們就能互補對方的空虛，找到只屬於我倆的幸福」。
我們孤獨的靈魂在這個世界流浪了幾萬年，走過無數里路，見證無數文明的興衰，即使耗盡壽命也一次又一次的輪回轉生，只為了和命中註定的另一人相遇；我們雖然素未謀面，也從未聽過對方的聲音，更無從得知對方的姓甚名誰，但篤信著命運的牽引和對那個她(他）的信念，手握著那溫暖的提燈，還有那若有若無的，似乎還帶有那個人的手指的微溫的信；堅信著當我倆相遇時，便可以互相扶持依偎，互相起一個能夠互相稱呼的名字，互相記憶，證明著對方的存在，互相填補心中的空虛，互相分享幸福和快樂，到死也永不分離。
但是後來故事改變了，Mumei不再是在黑暗中尋找，她想通了，從那個在黑暗中流浪求愛的無腳小鳥變成了燈塔一般的存在，發光發亮照耀我們，告訴我們她就在這裡。她不再需要絕望的尋找，反而成為照亮我們的路的指引，讓我們在漆黑的荒野中前進。
這首歌極其的淒美，它的中心設定基本就是一個童話般--在荒蕪廣闊的世界中尋找愛。
我們每個人都在想像有一個Mumei--一個能夠互相依靠，互相扶持的唯一在遠方某處等候著，成為我們命裡的唯一。我們期盼和對方一起便可以在深淵的黑暗中互相取暖，但是Mumei卻告訴我們，她在這裡點亮的提燈，她會給予我們所有人希望和勇氣，她會成為那個能夠記住我們名字，還有證明我們的存在的人。也許，有朝一天，我們也會成為那個拿著文明之火的提燈的人，向眾多後來的無名氏照耀前路。
老實講我也不知道聽這首歌的時候自己到底哭了多久，但實在是太感人了。放心吧Mumei，我們會把你的故事和名字傳承下去，直到永遠的盡頭！
P.S.:我本人還是比較喜歡第一個意象，畢竟互相尋找了幾萬年的約定這個套路還是很浪漫的
edit:謝謝你們的留言！今天重新聽了一次這首歌，我想這首歌最令我感動的解讀，應該是Mumei孤零零的在沒有文明的史前時代流浪，尋找自己的名字和容身之所，同時默默的守護著地球這個文明的搖籃，仿佛她在數萬年前就已經守望著我們人類的成長；最後，我們的遠祖建立了文明之後，和她許下這個萬年之約--在遙遠的未來再見面吧。到時候，我們人類會發展出最燦爛的文明，讓你不再孤單。
時至今日，Mumei回來我們這個世界，雖然經歷了無數次的轉生，互相都已經再也認不出對方，但是靈魂的記憶還是把我們聯繫在一起。
我認為這首歌的優秀之處，就是它把Mumei從一個可愛的貓頭鷹實況主，升華到真正文明的守護者，仿佛她真的是那個流浪了數萬年，看著人類文明的成長的神使。我聽著這首歌，看著MV中她如何一天一天的等待，尋找我們的文明足跡，獨自度過數萬年來和我們重逢，眼淚就不住的掉。

頂級解釋，第二個解釋令人感受更深
推一個 Mumei想表達得東西真的太美了

Seeing jp niki and other folks come back to this after you sang it at fes today warms my heart. You did great mooms, our idowl ❤ 🦉
I heard they played this video on the screen behind her. I wish I could have been there =(
ライブで歌ってくれてありがとう最高でした!!
I was so struck by the imagery of the waving lantern, guiding me. It's Mumei saying: "I'm here! I'm here!"
It's lovely.
Such a simple yet poignant part of the video.
Excellent visuals really do have a way of elevating an already great song
Until she forgot and wander off... and it all start again
Sincerely one of the most artistic and unique MVs that I've seen from a Hololive original song. Not just that, but it's such an emotional song, too. Here's hoping that it reaches millions of people, out there. ❤
I love the animation
This could either be a creepy song, or a "cheery" song with dark undertones. Either way hype!
could be both? Just like Mumei
it's depressing song about mumei in the history of mankind
Edit: see?
Sadly out already thanks to youtube music. Its in Japanese so idk
@@SpacePopeIII Just noticed that too, I like it, I'd like to check the lyrics as well.
with the release, the song is actually more sad
I started crying so hard at 3:10-3:25. At first you think she still has an emotionless face but then it zooms in and then you see she's smiling. The lyrics right before this part also hit home.
same
The progression we see from "without a name", "nameless" and finally "Mumei" is sooooo smart, I loved that detail, such an amazing concept❤❤
We Making It Out the Civilization With This One 🔥
😮
🤨 Ayo?
@@Kuorria I just realized that the order of emojis looks sus. my b
😦
going out of civilization means leaving mumei
I do hope you know the risks of making her angry
I'm JapanNiki, so I'll use the translation.🙇♂️
This song is very well sung by Mumei, and it fits Mumei's calm voice very well!🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
I really like this song!♥️
I love Mumei!!!!!!
Glad I could find Mumei!🥰
ホロライブを世界に与えてくれた日本の皆さんに感謝します。

@@StupidAnon-gn8ihWe love hololive
昨日のフェスで歌って気になって見に来たけど、いい歌だな、もっと早くしるべきだったな
5thライブで初めて聴きました。
凄まじく感動しました、一番心に残る歌声でした LUV 🪶🩵
LETS GO MOOOOOMS
昨日のフェスで知りました。とても引き込まれて涙が出ていました。 すばらしい音楽と出逢わせてくれてありがとう
At 5th fes I burst out crying really hard. Mumei's tender voice, the venue full of lightblue and green colors, and slow penlight wave, all of there made me very emotional. That was really great performance. Thank you Mumei. Big love from Japan💙
Wish I could have been there. This song is so good.
５ｔｈフェスで一番心に残った曲でした。
It was the most memorable song of the 5th fes.
Very touching song Mumei..
儘管被人所忘卻，卻仍能看到那殘留的痕跡仍存，即使沒有名字，但仍真實的存在著，也許，這就是文明吧
フェスで初めて聞いたけど、すごい感動したし、鳥肌やばかった！
We cried again today.
Thank you Mumei.
Has Mumei's name meaning nameless in japanese been a known thing? I just learned it and I'm not ok... Man, Mumei keeps making songs that make me feel things... This is beautiful.
Also, she's an owl, and her name can translate as "Who? Who?"
Shes mentioned it on stream a couple times but ya its not a very well known tidbit of info if you can't read Japanese.
Kind of, it was mentioned a bit during her debut by some Live TL guys giving context in chat but rarely brought up after that so if you weren't there during debut it's totally understandable that you didn't know that.
Saw a clip from Kiara pre-debut, post-announcement, talking about how Nanashi Mumei means no name, no name, anonymous anonymous, and then made the Who Who joke, since owl noise.
It just depends if you find the right stuff at the right times when peeps are talking about it. No worries.
I learned about a while ago from Mumei herself who mentioned it on occasion here and there.
Remember when she asked Calli to translate most of A New Start to English for her because she wasn't confident she could sing a whole song in Japanese?
Our birb has come a long way
Yep, I remember that. And when Calli took two or three days to get back to her with the *completed* work, our Mori apologized for taking so long. Dad was CRAZY BUSY when that happened and Mumei couldn't wrap her head around how a few days was a long time for that sort of thing.
@@andyjo7838 Calli is the type of person that even if she is incredibly busy she would drop everything to help a friend not to mention her new Kouhai Mumei.
@@Eiji475 she sure is.
@@Eiji475 Calli wrote a whole-ass song (I think it was Myth-Or-Treat) in a day because Ame asked her for help.
youre a light in my darkness with the joy you bring with your music and silly stories and streams. thank you
stage3で聞いて感動あまり泣いてしまいました
ありがとうムメイ最高の歌を
奇妙的是mooms的這首歌聽完完全不像是4分多鐘的歌曲，總讓人感到轉瞬即逝，一直循環也不會厭倦。
ムメイちゃん自身を歌った曲にも感じたし、ムメイちゃんとリスナーの関係の曲にも、もっと広くネット世界の繋がりを歌った曲にも、更に更に広く....とにかく聞く度に涙が出てしまう
5thフェスで初めて聞いて、初めて聞いた曲で涙しちゃって改めてMVを見に来て、この曲がムメイだけじゃなくて「無名の誰か」を応援する曲でもあることに気づいてまた泣いた。ありがとう。
巨匠ですら容易に到達できない、そんな芸術の1つなのかもしれない。
ムメイという言葉は人や物、あらゆる「無銘」への祈りの言葉のように聞こえる不思議な世界を作り出している。
曲、歌詞、唄声、どれか一つでも欠けていればただの作品となっていたかもしれない、見事なハーモニー。
音楽という芸術はこれほどの可能性を持っていることを改めて知ることができた。
Selamat 1M views Mumei!!
seeing so many comments in other languages speaks volumes to how love is universal. Your song is so beautiful and I’m happy to see your voice shine across the globe
I found the song by chance.
The first time I listened to this, I was just vibing to it while working.
Somehow, the song hurt my heart.
After a while, I came across it again and listened to it while reading the lyrics.
Gosh, the tears just started flowing.
It felt like I was finally able to release something from my heart.
Mumei, I want to express my gratitude for bringing this song.
It has such beautiful lyrics, and your vocal delivery was outstanding.
Definitely one of the best Hololive originals. Gotta be the most lore relevant/poignant one.
Moona's High Tide I'd say rivals this (or vice versa since High Tide came out before)
I cried when you sang this song. Turns out it sounds even more beautiful in live version :"
5th fesで歌うかもと前日にこの歌を聴いてめっちゃいい曲だと思っていたとこで当日歌ってくれて現地で叫んでいましたｗｗ
この曲は“mumei”でも世界の誰とでも深く繋がれることを証明している。そして、それは決して幻なんかじゃない。
3:18 That dorky little grin is hilarious and fits so well.
This whole song is a work of art though. The melody, the lyrics, the storytelling...they're top tier. Mumei's singing is downright amazing, and I hope she releases more projects like this in the future.
🏮
Everytime i see it i start to tear up man fuck this song it makes me so emotional
Every so often, the girls come out with a song that is genuinely something really very special, and this is Mumei's. Sweet, sad, and yet somehow still hopeful. What a wonderful song
この曲をライブで歌われたら絶対泣くだろうなと思ってたのですが、無事5thフェスで泣きました。本当によかった。
え！？5thフェスで歌ったんですか！？
@@ムメイ-y6u歌ってましたよ！！！
めちゃくちゃ良かったです...(現地勢)
この子最近知ったんだけどめちゃくちゃ好きだ。素直に好きとさせてください。
LIVE最高でした。
一番良かったと思います。
泣きました
5th fesで初めて聴いたけど
初見なのにも関わらず現地で泣きました😭それ以降からずっとリピートして聴いてます
ほんとに最高‼️
ムメイありがとう‼️
This is probably the first HoloEn song that made me cry during my first listen. The pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has made a toll on my mental health. It was the worst headspace I've been in. And that's when CouncilRys or I should say, Promise debuted. They genuinely have saved me from the worst hole I've been in and since then, I've been trying to find who I am and my purpose. This song reminded me of why I started. My true self is still out there and I'm going to find it.
Thank you Mumei.
不思議と何度も聞きたくなる曲。
ムメイの声と歌い方だからこそこの世界観が生まれている感じがする
A 43 year old man and I'm crying every time I listen to this song. Mumei created an absolute roller coaster of emotions. What a masterpiece.
You being almost 50 listening to this dogshit instead of being a strong man makes me want to cry
I don't understand why men need to clarify how old they are before sharing that they felt the emotion sadness. You can be 97, 22, 36, it's okay to cry man. Your body has the capability to have emotions for a reason. We're social creatures. It shows we are vulnerable and might need help to others. It's just weird. Hey I'm a 29 year old man, am I allowed to smile?
@@namelessbacon9483 nah watching hololive is weird if you’re in your 30s or above
no shame in that man
@@namelessbacon9483i think that’s the message that OP wanted to convey, and they stated their age to show that it’s ok to cry and that they’re glad to call this song a masterpiece
Decided to try out music in the VTubing community, saw Mumei thinking "I didn't know she did music". Didn't know hololive members all sang. It probably doesn't mean much, but
This is Truly Beautiful, & Genuinely Soul Touching.
The Singing, Composition, the Art and Illustration. An Ironically Resplendent and Radiant feeling of Hope is felt.
To be born in a world so full of Darkness & Cruelty. Looking for someone or something, a purpose or a person, to truly connect with feels bleak, even impossible. You could spend forever only hoping to find a glimpse or a remnant of what makes you feel truly alive.
You cannot control the people around you, the environment you have to start growing in and get through, the circumstances that affect & can determine most of your life. How the void in oneself that constantly eats away at you, how long it stays, how much it takes and tolls your mind and body.
Yet somehow when you are faced with this strife we experience all throughout life, we grow.
A spark of joy in knowing the lives you can affect along the way. The smiles you can bring, the tears you can shed, the burdens you can share.
No matter how small you feel in a world as huge as we live in. Maybe names are forgotten, but memories are shared, your name and face can be forgotten but does that mean you did not live life?
No, the lives we've touched, the light we've shed, the places we've nurtured and built, everything will go on. To know a face, or a name, to have met or not. To find happiness in knowing you've shed a light for others to see its shine, feel its warmth and experience its awe and inspiration is a wondrous feeling. That in your pursuit of purpose, meaning, or a connection to or with others, that somehow you are what someone else was looking for and hoping to find. It's Magic.
For those who read this, I Thank you for your time, Sorry I got carried away. I try to avoid commenting & writing things especially like this. I didn't want to waste my time alive not saying how I feel. I wish you the best, and for Hope to have found their way to you. Thank You to everyone that worked on this song as well, it helps a lot when you come together to make something as inspiring as this for others to see and hear. TKN-Tokkun, Mumei, and Otori. 💛
5thフェスで知って聞きました、めっちゃステキです！
同じです！
彼女がそれを歌うのを見にそこに行けたらよかったのに。人々は彼女の後ろにある大きなスクリーンでこのビデオを再生したと言いました。きっと多くの観客が泣いたと思います。
僕だけの歌詞
忘れてしまった事だけを覚えている
ぽかりと空いた穴の先で君と出逢った
名前も顔も分からない君
なんだか懐かしいような気がした
互いに穴埋めていくように
ふざけ合って笑い合って
世界のどこかにいる君のため
今生きているよ
僕ら無名(名前が無い)なの
例えばこれが映し出された幻でも
確かに感じる今君がそこにいること
名前も顔も分からない君
"さよなら"してしまえば終わりだ
君がいなきゃ穴は大きくなる
構わないさ、すぐ見つかる
世界のどこかにいる君はどこ？
今ここにいるよ
私 無名(名無し)
辺りは一面真っ暗な世界
真っ逆さまに落ちていく
無名(名無し)だから、この世界には
忘れられ消えちゃうの
それでも君が求めるのなら
この胸に空いた穴に今
君から私へ風は通り抜け
一羽の鳥が今君の元へと行く
世界のどこかにいる君のため
今生きていくよ
私 ムメイ(名前)なの
ムメイちゃんの歌声本当に優しい......
5th.fes 『Capture the moment』現地で初めて聴いてムメイのかわいらしい歌声と歌詞に心奪われ定期的に聴くようになるくらいこの楽曲が好きになりました❤
ムメイ、素敵な楽曲をありがとう😊
heard "Capture the moment" for the first time at 5th.fes and was so taken by Mumei's lovely voice and lyrics that I fell in love with this song and started to listen to it regularly.❤
Thank you, Mumei, for this wonderful song 😊.
途中まではお互いの顔も見えず、名も無く生きてきた
最後はお互いに求め合うことで顔も鮮明になりムメイとして出逢えた
アニメーションも含めて本当に大好きな曲
I'm so glad that I got to meet you as Mumei.
happy 1 year to the greatest holo original song of all time
