Even after toiling away for so long, those without talent can easily get surpassed by those who do. But in this cruel world, should we give up that easily? Ena gives her answer in this song.
Infinitely Grey has already been out for a year and it never ceases to fascinate me with its pure emotion and lyrics. I will be analysing one of the focus songs of this channel's mascot.
My 100 Subs special! I would especially like to thank Kizuzu (@ kakkoii_8661 on Twitter) for helping me so much with this video.

Infinitely gray is seriously so underrated, the song perfectly shows enas (or her vas actually) powerful vocals and enas anger about her insecurities and the way society treats her
This song is still my fav niigo song and I was so surprised when i know a lot of people didnt like this song 😭
@@rishaanabila2921 yeah they always say “sounds like a UA-cam intro” WHICH IS KINDA FUNNY BUT COME ON LOOK AT THE SONG
@@rishaanabila2921 same
@@liquidiodine would GLADLY use this as my youtube intro
Minori Suzuki Supremacy>>>>>
thanks for making this! infinitely grey is hated on by a lot of people because of how it sounds but it’s honestly one of my favourite nightcord songs because of how relatable it is as an artist living off pure hard work and barely any talent TT
It's one of my favourites too! Thank you for your comment
My sister hates this song because
1. I sing it too much
2. She thinks that it sounds like a Minecraft intro and for some reason she doesn't like that
wtf people actually hate it?
Whenever I feel frustrated with the world or like I’m drowning in negativity, infinitely gray helps with my vent art and shows me the beautiful colors of the world
The thing is, I’ve barely looked at the lyrics, and I mostly listen to the vocaloid version, but the song has always hit me. There’s something about the emotions of the melody that hits the part of me that feels lost and hopeless, and so in that way the song has always spoken to me, which is why I love it.
I relate alot to Ena as a person. I'm good at what I do, mainly art, but I never had a talent for it, I worked hard for it. Much like Ena I'm also worried about being left behind by others and I've struggled with being praised by teachers and peers but only I could see the flaws in my work and no matter how I tried to make it better, or in general in art, I felt that it was pointless and I'd get frustrated. I've also learned to just go for it and do what I like and I'm getting back into what i love to do. Then again I relate to the struggles of most of the group in some way or another but Ena and Maguyu hit me the most
I've always liked how in the virtual live performances of the song, when Ena sings "Won't you recognize me?", the lights turn off completely, rather than having a spotlight on her like songs usually would. Thanks for your analysis! I love hearing people talk about the characters like this, and you mentioned a lot of stuff that I hadn't noticed before! I think this song is one of the reasons I started looking into Sekai's story more, so it's great to hear someone talk about the meaning of the lyrics and the MV.
I absolute adore Kanade Tomosu Sora the same way you absolutely adore Infinitely Grey. They both have such a big impact on their respective characters and Niigo as a whole. I love Project Sekai so much for bringing us these masterpieces
^^^ literally my two fav niigo songs
Very cool vid! Another thing i would like to add. Daffodils are also called Narcissus, which refers to the Greek myth of Narcissus, a man that was so obsessed with what he looked like that when he saw his reflection in the water he leaned into kissing himself and fell in the lake (Symbolizing again the water motif). I think it might be a metaphor with Ena's need to look good on social media, to get some kind of validation from it.
I love your pjsekai analysis! Keep going, you got this!
I never thought of that, you have an amazing eye for detail!
not me noticing sb already pointing this out after i made my comment-
but! this!! i adore this lil detail sm it makes me wanna draw ena similar to the narcisus painitng
The song truly describes how artists always doubt their capabilities and the internal suffering, inferiority, self doubt
Different verses uses different sfx, start has a bass the end has piano and time ticking…
The rain, the sloshing of water in the first verse almost as if the artist is drowned (like in the mv)
I never knew the complete meaning until I heard the English cover of this song made by amiaryllis, gave me a critical hit right in the heart as a somewhat artist. This song itself is so well written I love it sm
This video also gave me a critical hit fr. I gave up my own ideas so much just to draw what people would like to see to the point that I think all of my choices of art are instantly invalid once I have thoughts of it. Infinitely Grey and this video gave me a literal slap. Though being a tryhard people pleaser, this is surely what I needed to know that I should be able to make art I like and art I want to show to others. Ena has been such a relatable character to as I can see a lot of people. Not just artists. Overall I love this video a lot I did not skip a single scene watching this. I rarely finish a video without skipping, this is amazing work!
Thank you so much!! Doing what you like makes you happiest and I am also happy too that you enjoyed the video!!
I love Infinitely Gray because I feel that everybody must’ve related to it to some degree at some point in their lives, especially if you do something that involves creating something.
INFINITELY GREY MY BELOVED
i adore this song; it sounds both as a song and like someone is screaming in pain, trying to convey their emotions to the world and trying to be heard, which is a feeling i relate to
I LOVE THIS thank you so much for the ena appreciation she is a character that i feel so deeply connected to and infinitely gray touched me when it came out!
I have a bias towards surii songs, and never understood the hate towards it myself. I think the way the characters scream-singing the chorus is super powerful (though i prefer the original vocaloid version myself) and conveys the emotions so well!
I also love how the choreography in the 3DMV itself is like a push and pull between her conflict of quitting or keeping at it, no matter how painful it is. And how the members part at the end showing ena in the center, as if they're here to support her, but the choice is ultimately hers to decide whether to move on or not (and her looking away from the camera shows how she herself is still struggling to come to a decision, because her story is not over yet). It's such a beautiful MV!!! Ahhh!!!
AAAAA I NEVER THOUGHT ID FIND A VIDEO DEDICATED TO THIS SONG AND ENAS CHAR??? IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY U GOT NO IDEA, like, unsatistfies pale color was my first event as well as the ena crd being my first 4 star in my first prsk acc (i lost it but i still got the card again later :D). The event story made me fall in love with ena and to this day she is still my most fav char and infinitely grey still being one of my top fav songs. Seeing sb singing the praise this song deserves just makes me very happ :D
also an interesting thing i noticed that wasn't mentioned in the video: the scientific name of daffodils is narcisus, ena's event outfit is called "narcisus painter's dress". Narcisus is also a figure in greek mythology and acc to the stories, he fell in love with his reflection in a pool of water ad stared at it until he died. Idk if the connection is intentional or not, but i still found it interesting enough to share
This was an oddly soothing watch. It beautifully conveyed the comforting side of the "you have to do what you can" line. I've been kinda exhausted lately, but I'm glad I found time to add this in. It cleared some of that fog. And it's nice to see this was informative just like your newer stuff! It's always cool to hear from one of the creators, so the interview quotes were cool to see.
The part where Ena describes using her welling up feelings to draw and that "I cried at the shape of my dreams". I'd often taken the last version, of smiling or laughing, as Ena almost sarcastically laughing at herself. But when you mentioned how it mirrors Ena's journey, it seems better to view it with more sincerity. Like she can finally smile and enjoy the work she's created, even if it won't ever be "perfect". Even if it isn't always easy. That she's found that satisfaction you mentioned being needed.
Her tears is the water that made her paint.
Her pain, sadness, frustrations are her motivation
THANK YOU !!! SOMEONE APPRECIATING INFINITELY GRAY
YESSSS more people should love this song
YOU DESERVE A LOT MORE YOUR VIDS ARE TOP NOTCH!! Edit: I actually have that ena card and infinitely grey has a special place in my heart. It's the first songni ever full combo
WHAOOO! I love the efforts into Explaining how this song was so genius!!! I heard the english of this song and I still didn't know what it was but its really cool how you explain it and how Nighcord at 25:00 has most of their songs have a deeper meaning!! and the characters fit so well with everything too! Thank you so much for explaining! Awesome job!
Thank you for your comment as well! Please look forward to more content!
@@frutolerant WHAOOO! iM SO EXCITED!!
Fru vid (I eat it like a delicious cheesecake) THIS IS SO GOOD AND WELL THOUGHT OUT!!! (I saw this before everyone else 😂), A very eye catching and on the point analysis on the song and how it relates to Ena and her feelings, Once again another banger Fru!!! 💖💞💖💗💗💗
Thank you much peachily 💕💗💖💕💖💕💖💗💗💖💕💖💕
CLAIRE VIDEO REAL!! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS VIDEO SM AND YOU DELIVERED 💝💝
WOOOOOOOO SO TRUE MOH!!!
I relate to this song so much but it makes me so mad for reasons I wont get to
This was my first song from Project Sekai. I was introduced to the original by surii from a friend. And soon found out the Sekai version. Didnt know it was commissioned for the game and thought it was just a cover. But anyway, I digged deeper, and got hooked to the whole project sekai until now
Ena fans are something else
Told ya this is gonna be a masterpiece 😭❤
WOAHHH i loved this video so much, you explained ena's character so well and the words are so well crafted too! do you mind if i actually draw your idea for ena's third focus event card? i really like the concept :]
Thank you so much and go ahead! I'm really honoured that you want to draw it!
"today, ill be enalizing" xD
kizuzu’s daily revisit🙈💕
YESSS, I love this song sooo much, and as an artist I really feel it, it's wonderful
proud to be your 1K subscriber
this is one of my fav songs since the lyrics fit the instrumentals (shut up idc if it sounds like a cringy gacha intro or stuff) it really compliments how the song turns out
FRU VID!!!!!!
ths vid was amazing
Outro music ahh type of beat
Can you make a video about the song 'becoming potatos'?
I ran over my cat this morning. The videos ok.
Where can we see your Project Sekai journaling ? :3
I have closed my journal account but if i ever try journalling again it'd be in the discord which is the link in my profile!
@@frutolerant The Discord link isn't valid :/
discord.gg/8juJzmY7tU@@ZoulouVideo this one should work!
I love the video but the I can't hear you all that well over the background music maybe Its just my headphones
A tip, turn down the music a little bit, it's too high, it's difficult to listen to your voice.
please analyze i nandesu!!
Great vid, but it's kind of hard to listen to due to the loud background music.
I will keep that in mind for the next video, thank you for your feedback !
I honestly really like the emotion portrayed through this song and the lyrics but the background music just doesn’t fit it that much in my opinion 😭😭
I'll keep that in mind next time during editing, thank you for your comment ^^
@@frutolerant no, no I meant in the song not the video! The video is wonderful!
@@yesyes3505 how so? Just curious.
Surii’s music has always been a little weird imho. Especially with Len’s tuning, so I kinda get it. But I think the Ena version and the little water drips and the steady build up is good at getting the emotions across. Not sure why it doesn’t fit if you’re admitting it is good at getting emotions across
@@ma.2089 just with the intense vocals it contrasts a lot with the lighter background music but it’s more of a personal preference thing
You’ve just earned your 1000th sub! Thank you so much for talking bout the beauty of infinitely grey and Ena’s journey I’m tired of ppl dunking on it when it has always been an absolute masterpiece
I didn't really find Ena's character that fun to watch at first, but then her Infinitely Grey event came around and the song itself, It felt like I was being stabbed in the heart. In some ways, I can relate to her. The feelings of perhaps never being one of the "special ones with talent" is something I feel very strongly. But Ena is different from me, she doesn't just give up and accept it like I do, she continues to push forward, no matter how excrutiatingly painful it is, and I admire that. Also, it's not related to the character itself persay, but Ena's va absolutely NAILS the emotional parts.
This song is seriously incredible. I really do like all of Niigo’s songs..
MY GOD THIS MADE ME FEEL. THINGS
art is pain beauty is pain, art is beauty expressed outside of what you call "yourself" and just like beauty in yourself is hard to "conquer" art is a painful and long process to find what kind of beauty you truly want. I'll say it here and there i dont think slapping paint on a canvas is pretty nor is it art but if i look past myself i can understand that everyone views beauty differently and its not worth it putting others down. Confidence is showing beauty within yourself, art is showing beauty outside and so art takes confidence, happily it has been shown over the years that confidence can be understood THROUGH art. It's an excruciating journey but if it akes you happy its definitely worth it, that's why people who don't consider themselves talented have persisted through and thorough to achieve their own "art" and I think this is how i can encapsulate why i relate to ena so much. Art is so frustrating nd Ena shows the suffering and true happiness it leads to at the same time.
this vid makes me want to challenge myself and paint on a canvas again
wait since when the songs niigo makes in game story and actual songs are the same???? i found about this just now
