It’s used more poetically in the other song, “Ai mo takenawa” (which is more like the girl’s POV?), while “Okuu” talks about anything star-related in a more literal, almost scientific way. My theory is that the girl takes things and expresses herself in a more ambiguous and indirect way, while the boy depends on words and being direct, and despite looking and being nearly identical that’s what sets them apart in the end. Going back to the song title, part of "Okuu" is 烏 - meaning crow, and during the last chorus there is imagery of a birdcage with a crow in it. At the very end the girl is looking up at the sky alone on the roof, opposite of the scene in "Ai mo takenawa" where they stand on the roof together. The boy likely "escaped" the birdcage and jumped off, as he grows more discontent and unhappy as the song goes.
For the past year I’ve been so obsessed with this song. It’s so aggressively bouncy it’s perfect. I’m someone that’s severely picky with music to an extreme level, this one to me is genuinely one of my special favorites. Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece!!
愛も酣の方は銀河とか惑星とか本物の宇宙に例えた歌詞が多かったけど、屋烏は天体showみたいに人工物の、偽物の宇宙みたいな歌詞があって良い。
屋根の上の烏への恋
つまり叶いそうもないということか
愛も酣と合わせて聴いたら絶対合うメロディーなのがもう感動。
英語表記でDeep Loveは天才すぎるんだよな
めちゃめちゃ椅子が立ってるじゃないですか🔭🪑🎸✨
かっこいいぜってことです🙆
これから使わせてもらいまーす
今回も椅子立ってますね〜！！
歌詞『屋烏』（読み：おくう）
始め 続け 終る 其何れもが
言葉に依存して居た
だから君の様に
危くも凛としてみたかった
愛情と心の臓 符号 記号化
誤って時に Palilalia
感情の陰と陽 器用に昇華
僕達なら何にでも成れる
そんな気がしたんだ
互いに 互いの 違いを 認めて居た
君の愛の涯の涯の涯の
言葉を教えてお呉れ！
五十音の向う 収束する迄の 旅路だ
僕の奥の奥の奥の奥を云い表す其声が
聞えないのは 屹度僕の所為なんだ
光る 天体 Show
節操を説く模様 要す慎重さ
躊躇って言葉 呑込んだ
体裁 催すのも器用の証左
奔放なら何とでも云える
其だけの事なんだ
違いに違いを重ねて 気づけばほら
僕の涯の涯の涯の涯の結末を視せてお呉れ！
不可視光の向う 拡散するまでが歴史だ
君の奥の奥の奥の奥を云い得て居る
１行が
解らないのは 屹度僕の所為なんだ
知覚点対称
君は愛の迷子
言葉を畏れぬ亡霊
五十音を慕い 従属する僕が嫌いか？
僕の奥の奥の奥の奥を云い表す此声が
聞えないのは屹度君の所為なんだ
終る 天体 Show
｢互いに互いの違いを認めて居た｣
っていう歌詞がすごい好き……。
I love this song and your music so much!

Kanna Tateisu - “Okuu”
(“Okuu no ai” - 屋烏の愛 is a term meaning a love so deep, it reaches even the crow on the recipient’s roof.)
“Begin, continue, end” - I’d depended on words for all of those
So I wanted to be sharp and cold about it, just like you
Affection and my heart, coincidences and signs - when I’d make a mistake, it’s Palilalia (1)
Feelings, darkness and light - I’d skillfully sublimate them (2)
“If it’s us, we can become anything”, it felt that way
We kept admitting each other’s differences (3) to each other
Tell me the limits, the limits, the limits of your love
On a journey that converges beyond the point of alphabet! (4)
The voice that conveys what’s deep, deep, deep inside of me,
It’s probably my fault that you can’t hear it.
A dazzling star show.
A pattern preaching morality and necessary cautions. I hesitate and swallow my words.
Keeping up appearances is also proof of one’s skill (5)
If you want my unrestrained side, I’ll show as much of it as you want. That’s all there is to it.
Piling up and up our differences, before you notice, it’s...
Show me the finale of the limits, the limits, the limits of my love!
Beyond the invisible light (6), what spreads out is our history
That first line (7) that conveys what’s deep, deep, deep inside of you
It’s probably my fault that I don’t understand it
A point reflection of our perceptions (8)
In love you’re lost, a ghost unafraid of words (9)
Do you hate me for yearning for and depending on words (10)?
This voice that conveys what’s deep, deep, deep inside of me
It’s probably your fault that you can’t hear it.
The end of a star show (11)

Awesome translation, this is such a good song
素敵だな…
調声がとにかく好きで…わかる方いらっしゃいます？
どのボカロPよりも群をぬいて好きです。
まじで全曲毎日鬼リピして仕事してる❗️
愛も酣と少し似てるけど対照的な感じでめっちゃ好き、、
男の子の方からは違って見えるのか、、
サビで同じ言葉繰り返すのめちゃくちゃ大好き…です！！
あとラスサビで転調して立椅子さん節がﾊﾞｯｯｯってくるのが毎回本当に良くて…
有名にならなきゃおかしい
屋烏(おくう)
For the past year I’ve been so obsessed with this song. It’s so aggressively bouncy it’s perfect.
I’m someone that’s severely picky with music to an extreme level, this one to me is genuinely one of my special favorites. Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece!!
縦椅子かんなさんだってすぐわかる調教が好き。誰も真似出来ん唯一無二の声質
まっっっっっっっじですべてがタイプすぎて戸惑っています……歌詞、曲調、ギター、調声、リズムなど何から何まで好きです……
2、3回聞いてやっと屋鳥じゃなくて屋烏であることに気づいたw
毎日ニコboxで聞いてるけど
リズムとメロディーの良さよ
頭に残って、また聞きたくなる
ボカロでdanceするの好き民な私のdanceのレパートリーにない感じのトラックでフリが自然と出にくいけど楽しく踊らして貰ってます♪
アイコンまた変わってて良いですね！！
かんなさんの調声がほんとに好きすぎます...
ほんとに大好きですありがとうございます
最高の椅子だわ
the "ai no hate no hate no hate no" part has been stuck in my head for so long, glad i found the song
もう大好きです
0:29 「Palilalia(パリラリア)」…英語で同語反復症。
0:32 「昇華(しょうか)」…ある状態から、さらに高度な状態へと飛躍すること。
0:48 「涯(はて)」…果てとほぼ同義。
1:09 これは蛍光灯かな？
1:21 「節操(せっそう)」…正しいと信ずる主義・意見を堅く守って変えないこと。
1:30「体裁(ていさい)」…他人に対する自分の見栄。
「催す(もよおす)」…人々が集まる行事を企て準備し、行う。
「証左(しょうさ)」…証拠とほぼ同義。
(かなりマイナーではあるが「左証」も有るらしくこれもまたほぼ同義。)
1:31 「奔放(ほんぽう)」…思うままに振る舞うこと。
1:50「不可視光(ふかしこう)」…見えない光線。放射線や紫外線、赤外線、電波など見えない全てを含む。この場合、電波を通じてやり取りする様になったことを「歴史」としていると考えられます。
1:59 空白の1行。この男性が女性に対して「どこか本心が見えない」と感じていると考えられます。
いい曲、好き。
