hey it's me!! LOL
✨Our weeb billy✨
HEYYYYYY
Wheeeeey its you
Hi!!!
Lol I was about to tag you
a lot of popular Japanese songs tend to have sad and/or heartbreaking undertones but people just love the beat.
That’s sad and tragic
I heard smth about it being like a stigma where it’s looked down upon talking about death because of the suicide rates in Japan but idk maybe I’m not remembering right
*coughs in Ayano's Guide To Happiness*
@@Moraca101 I still cry from that song each time I listen
Bad apple
Surprisingly it’s not rare at all to have songs with hella upbeat music while having dark lyrics. Especially from what I noticed Japanese love doing that.
Yes. Loads of Japanese songs that sound beautiful and are famous are... Not so cheerful. Look at Shinunoga E-wa for example.
@@OddlyAnimated1203when the title itself is literslly dark..
finland has a strange phenomenon of extremely depressing christmas songs, some of the more popular ones are:
- a dead little brother reincarnated as bird steals sisters food
- a child who is happy only on christmas
- elder crying and kneeling before the grave stone
- nobody visits grandma
- you’re going to die soon so enjoy christmas
- baby jesus drowning in snow
- child crying on mothers grave
- elfs have insomnia
- the life only lasts a while, and it is dark and unfortunate anyway
@@hajinkim719 I mean you wouldn't know it's dark unless you understand somewhat Japanese, soooo...
Yes, a few of my other favorite Japanese bands like Yorushika and TUYU also write a lot of music like this
Sad fact though, it's age restricted because it talks about sxicide which sucks because it's such a bop
You said everything but the song name...
@@so_h_amthey did tho??? "Racing into the night"
@@chelsumii Sorry, I was probably high 😂
They should make it a kidz bop song so that its not age restricted anymore

I did not know that.
@@estyr98 Listen to the chorus very carefully: "All the other kids, with their pumped up kicks, better run. Better run. Out run my gun. All the other kids with their pumped up kicks, you better run. Better run. Faster then my bullet."
My favorite part of Jpop songs is how they can sound so upbeat and happy while having such sad meanings
*happiest beat ever* "so i wanna die and kill everyone else too and life is meaningless"

*it legit represent how depression can be masked as happiness perfectly*
i meant it's worked exactly the same
When u put it that way, holy sht it adds another layer of meaning. Nice one catching that
Shit still slaps not like we are fluent in the language anyways.
But also how simply saying "It is what it is" someday won't work anymore kinda like: Running out of reasons
Hehe, absolutely true...
Someone needs to make a song that sounds sad but actually has a happy meaning.

Yep
Or any asian song as a matter of fact
Like wtf
I got a korean friend, chinese friend and japanese friend. Like these mfs be translating shit and im like "hold the fuck on WHAT" pull up the english lyrics and boom. Theres some depressing shit again😅
As someone who is fluent in Japanese, when my friend showed me this and started vibing, I was just looking at her really weirdly.
Song : *"suicide, suicide, more stuff about suicide."*
Your cluless friend: 💃
Its still a good song
This type of song isn't even new tho.
Vocaloid as an example. Most of the songs are kinda dark too. So idk why ppl are so surprised.
Your friend: Hey listen to this nive song! The beat is so hype.
The song:
"MY WORLD IS BURNING AND MY LIFE IS SHRIVELING UP, IM DYING INSIDEEE"
Yo, what's the translation at the end of the vid?
Upbeat songs with dark lyrics are extremely common even in english. A very good example would be "Hey Ya!" by OutKast. It's a song about young people failing to find/keep longlasting and meaningful relationships, then burying themselves in short term pleasures because they can't even begin to address their own emotions. It even has a self aware moment where the song pauses to say "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance" directly to the listener, critiquing them for their own indulgence in short term pleasures instead of pausing to disect the deeper message behind the lyrics.
The music video is literally taking place at a concert. Love that song and its trickery.
And the song "I can't decide", with lyrics like "I could throw you in a lake or feed you poison birthday cake but I can't deny I'm going to miss you when you're gone.".
Detroit rock city by Kiss. A banger of a classic rock song about a guy drunk driving to a concert and dying in a car crash. I know the song is dark ever since I got into Kiss at 10-11, but it's just so catchy and fire, it gets me turnt up every time I hear it.
Similar song, Bullet by Hollywood Undead. Talking about trying to kill yourself with very upbeat music.
Pumped Up Kicks
This proves that Japanese is a language that make anything sound like a love song
????? Ignorant ahh comment. You can do this in literally every single language
YOASOBI are absolute song writing geniuses. I've been listening to their stuff and everything from the music to the lyrics is always so detailed and polished.
Monster is the song i know of from them
Most of their songs are actually based on short stories online
Ahh, the power of Ayase
You should check out Ayase’s Vocaloid music, which is on his UA-cam channel. Especially Ghost City Tokyo!
@@Skittlez_apexcheck out tracing that dream, comet, halzion, romance, encore
It's like Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People 😂
or the song *Common People*
What's with pumped up kicks
@@Divi_the_Zation It's a about school shooting
@@fallenlegend8888 oh. Well I didn't expect that
@@Divi_the_Zation More specifically, like what fallen had said.
It’s supposed to warn and inform those who listen about school shootings. To tell the damages caused by these events.
One of the two main people in Yaosobi has a background in Vocaloid. A BILLION vocaloid songs are just like that (and known for that), sounding extremely happy, peaceful, or sweet until you hear the meaning. It’s one of my favorite things about it in a way. If I’m sad I can resonate with the meanings, but if I’m just vibing I get to enjoy the more upbeat style music. And the upbeatness of the music helps to cheer me up eventually, even if I know the meaning or am listening to an English cover.
Yeah, and it just hits different when songs are a mix of sadness and happiness
Rolling girl is what I think of...
But weirdly I've always felt like these types of songs aren't *all* happy even tho I don't understand Japanese language, because happy songs in jpop or vocaloid are either calmer, or really in your face happy (electric angel for example)
@@Orangecatenergy No no, I totally understand. Some songs it’s really impossible to disassociate the meaning internally. But like, personally, I can listen to My R and still just enjoy it, even if I know the meaning itself is uhh, sad? But to be fair, I also do that with English songs aha, since I often have to really listen to songs to hear what is said, otherwise I just hear the music and enjoy it.
Vocaloid is so underappreciated. There are so many melodies that would have been considered masterpieces had they been served in a more palatable way to mainstream audience. (Like ussewa and yoru ni kakeru) but then again vocaloids are such an amazing phenomenon. Making songs without having to interact with a human singer may have been the attractive point to many vocaloid-ps
It’s amazing how ppl don’t catch how AKB48 and some kpop songs are actually sad and up beat too, long before yoasobi became a hit.
I’ve made songs about self-unaliving and I still dance to them as if I’m talking about flowers & sunshines 💀
Let’s be honest, even when English singers sing about their depression we’re still jammin out
Yep, what I’m mad about is that he got a whole grim reaper to tel him to die that shows u have so much to live for all I got was a leter from its Ai

country singers singing about the time their lover married their best friend:
There are quite some happy sounding songs with depressing meanings, not just Japanese.
I feel like it adds a special touch, because depression isn't only sadness and crying. It's also about faking happiness and just feeling nothing, disassociating or finding yourself happy at times
* Hey Ya starts playing *
@@Thtaoy1029mv when your happy, lyrics when sad. Ive come to figure this out later than i shouldve.
pumped up kicks is a good example of this in English I think
@@L-sillybrained this song also applies to my saying
There's an English song like this called Bullet I think and it has a different special touch because the whole song is a bright, happy song about committing suicide and it's kinda got the same vibe people who've been suicidal can relate to where you actually commit to the idea and the empty numbness finally fades to a sick sort of relief, I really like how much depth it has
lmao i was just watching billys videos 🤣

The girl is actually not a grim reaper, she is actually an imagination made by the guy cause of over work stress, so the guy actually went metal and thought that there was a girl with depression that he was in love with, but he's actually the one who's depressed..
Wrong, the song is based on the book "An Invitation from Thanatos," who is literally the grim reaper??

@@Kikuo.sounddd OMG YESS WATS UR FAV SONG
The concept of having incredibly dark depressing songs put into an upbeat tone is one of my favorite types. I feel like its similar to how a lot of people do fake smiles across the day when they feel the complete opposite. It's just one way to express it musically for anyone who relates to doing that type of thing often
I got dark suddenly but billy got me rollin down 😂
THE FULL STORY (of the song):
In this world, people are governed either by Thanatos or Eros. If one is governed by Eros, they love life and have the will to live. If one is governed by Thanatos, they get a personal grim reaper who tries to make you commit suicide.
In the beginning, it's shown that the girl is someone who is governed by Thanatos while the boy is governed by Eros. He falls in love with the girl and tries to convince her to not commit suicide multiple times. The very first part, she's about to jump off when he stops her.
He then talks about her grim reaper who the girl looks at longingly and lovingly and he isn't happy with it and is jealous. Here, the boy gets tired of always stopping her from committing suicide and realizes his words are never going to get through to her. One day, he says "I want it all to end" (終わりにしたい) and for the first time, the girl smiles. They then commit suicide together, but it turns out that the girl was his personal grim reaper this whole time and it was him who was governed by Thanatos. And he dies. The end.
Thanks!
Japanese Songs Are The Literal Definition Of The People Who Tries To Give Good Vibes To Everyone Despite Being Sad, Broken, And Depressed On The Inside.
Why Do People Still Type Like This?
@@MoThePerson Why Not?! LMAO
My mom turned this song to her ringtone💀
@yourlocalshowershitter87 yes!!!
why u write it out like a book title
No joke, if i read the entire lyrics in english, i still cant realize its the opposite what the society believes, IT IS TOO GOOD.
As someone who once had a friend show me a happy sounding Hatsune Miku song that was actually about...drinking soup from a stomach (that's all I'll say about the context of the song, if you know you know), the moment I hear any happy sounding song sung in Japanese, I immediately think of that vocaloid song and get goosebumps.
Gommene gommene? Yeah no that's about a girl getting S.A.ed and dies at the end of the song
There are a lot of songs like this. One of which is a song called My R.
And I think it didn't get the same treatment from the Vocaloid fans because that one has an English version. (and they don't hide the fact that it's a suicide song)
I actually personally heard the ENG version first before the original. And I still like it.
I cry my eyes out every time, but it's still a really good song.
A lot of people use its instrumental version as background music for videos.
Speaking as a fellow weeb: aren't a lot of popular Japanese songs like this tho
@Eviez123 Then I should welcome y’all to the wonderful world of vocaloid (jokes aside there are a lot of songs with good beats and deep lyrics so I reccomend finding them yourself)

Why are Japanese songs actually good but then their meaning is heartbreaking- 😭
I feel that songs like this are very appropriate for Japanese people, who smile to avoid showing their weakness to others even when they are under stress. (Also, Japanese people and people overseas have different sensibilities, so beats that are sad to Japanese people may sound cheerful to people overseas.)
I’m still going to blissfully jam out to this
I first heard this song in Project Sekai a month ago. I loved the song (I still do). Never searched up lyrics though. Now I understand why SEKAI ver. Is sung by Kanade and Miku.

I haven’t heard it but I love songs in English like that. When you’re happy they make you feel happy because you can kind of just focus on the beat exclamation what when you’re sad or angry you can actually listen to lyrics and the whole song just feels like it understands you no matter what you’re going through.

Ahh yes Japan. Dark, depressing lyrics but a happy moody rhythm.
Solution, don't look up the music video version, only look for lyric version. 👍
It's the same with Idol it's super upbeat but it's about not knowing love,lying ,and not being able to show your true self all because you are in public eye 24/7 and it's made specifically for the anime it's for Oshi no ko
the fact that i immediately knew it would be racing into the night 💀
another upbeat japanese song with haunting lyrics is “shoujo rei”!
VOCALOID FANSS
Ayase san is a genius. It could be that he made the beat like that to match the story. Just like the grim reaper lure the main character, people get lured by the cheerful melody while the meaning is the opposite. 🤔
It's a fairly well done concept in Vocaloids, I remember :)
Before I learnt Japanese, I'd bop to them, look up the lyrics and then never again 😂😂

I dont know why this is so sad to me
Someone thinking they were helping someone out of the kindness of their heart, yet being led to dying
its actually its own type of music, where the song may be happy but the lyrics are sad and visa versa. in opera its very common to have such songs, especially the more latin ones
It's my favourite song and I know it by heart. I sing it really happily even tho I know what it means. It just gives happy vibes even when it's meaning is really dark. I love Yoasobi and her songs so much ❤️
I never knew this but I still really love it even after learning its meaning
The song itself is really dark, but what gave me nightmares the most was Gunjou by Yoasobi, the lyrics felt like as if it's humanity's final act because the world will end and it can't be stopped, which is something i really fear
well yeah... we are not helping it stay alive very much, that's for sure...

I LOVE music with upbeat sounding music with grim meanings. It's so fun to play it around friends who haven't heard it before and watching the realization hit them slowly.
we found love by Rihanna that song is about a toxic or abuseive relationship. 😢
the song is happy and exciting? naaaahhhhh its cool music and very raving
it’s ironic that the song is about the grim reaper deceiving someone into killing themselves, but at the same time the song deceives non Japanese speakers into thinking it’s a happy song.

"Racing Into The Night (Yoru Ni Kakeru; 夜に駆ける)" was the debut single by duo YOASOBI. The song, released on the 15th of December 2019, was inspired by a short story "The Seduction of Thanet" written by Mayo Hoshino. Ikura of YOASOBI told Billboard, "I wanted to maintain the mood of the original work, so I kept my vocals neutral, to blend in with the color of the track. I tried to convey the emotion of the protagonist with my voice." The animated video for the song was published on the 16th of November 2019.

There's also a song that sounds very upbeat but is also about a similar topic, Shoujo Rei. The literal lyrics go onto basically explain how a girl dies on train tracks because she seen the ghost of someone she cared about beckoning her to do it and due to schoolmate's abuse of her. It sounds so upbeat but is actually so damn dark
I love Mikito-P's songs too :D ❤
@@pichooooo YAY MY PEOPLEE :D
I love these songs- When I started to learn Japanese and listen to some of the songs I liked from PinocchioP and recognize a few words I didn't realize quite a few of them have some pretty dark lyrics-
Yoasobi: I am the only one who makes such happy sounding songs which have extremely dark lyrics!
Kikuo: *HOLD MY MIC.*
vocaloid songs: amateurs
Couple months ago I read up about the racing into the night song which is the one about depression
Basically, the stories about this girl who kept trying to unalive herself by jumping off a cliff because she has something called the Thanatos disease, but this guy tried to save her, and soon fell in love with her, but she continued to try to jump off the cliff, so it happened so many times that he jumped off with her, but the thing was, she was never even a real human. She was his Grim Reaper ,and he was the actual one who had the disease that’s why he was able to see her.
Love songs in Japanese : OMG THE SONG SOUND SO SADDD
Sad songs in Japanese : OMG THE SONG SOUNDS SO LOVELYYT
That’s not really deceitful. There are plenty of songs in English with a happy beat that discuss sad subjects. You only consider it deceitful because you didn’t look at the lyrics, and that isn’t Yoasobi’s fault. It’s a fantastic story. Also, I’m the short story that the song is based off of, the girlfriend isn’t necessarily a grim reaper, she hears death calling and she asks if he’d like to go with her. It’s bittersweet. It’s also good to talk about sad stuff. By burying the subject, people are less aware of the impact that things like suicide have on everyone around them. Also, by not discussing it, people think that it’s shameful to discuss those feelings with other people.
they didn't mean it in a bad way, it's actually interesting how you might think the song is hapy because you can't understand the lyrics
@@ElizabethAftonAndTheIceCream it’s interesting, but only requires a 10 second google search. It’s also super common for people with depression to act over the top happy. I just think it’s weird for someone to look at a song in a language they don’t understand and then claim it’s deceitful simply because they don’t understand they language the song is in. If you knew Japanese, it would be plain as day.
I’m half Japanese and I’m fluent too so tbh I know the lyric meanings and it always confuses me why everyone is so happy to hear it 💀😭
Its the beat man its too good. Vocaloid taught me never when theirs a good beat their are sad lyrics to follow
Maybe bc it’s the same with English songs. Lots of English songs have a good beat but dark lyrics and people could still enjoy it
As a Japanese I confirm that this is all about a guys with schizophrenia trying to help a girl from non-existent but actually the girl is actually the grim reaper trying to kill the guy.
As a Japanese person I still get the hype
Damn he got done dirty.
I can’t understand Japanese but I love YOASOBI’s music because it’s just so good!!
Yaosobi never fails to make a bop even if the meanings are depressing af😭
Name of the song??
Racing into the night
Monster just translate in Japanese
Suki Suki Daisuki is actually an extremely violent song
I watch dub, but some anime’s I watched sub for no reason, I watch all of dbz is sub, and for some reason I went to dub on super, I mainly use dub though, I find the subtitles distracting sometimes, my adhd just goes off the rails when I watch it in sub😅
I’ve come to expect this at least from YASOBI, because the song “IDOL”(AKA, the Oshi No Ko theme song) was also very popular and sounded upbeat but is literally about deceiving people in the hopes it’ll make them happy (in the context of being a famous singer)
hears the entire lyrics in english: Seize a move, you're on me, falling, and we were dissolving
You and me, skies above and wide, it brings on the true night on me
All I could feel was a goodbye
Those only words you wrote, it's plenty to understand ya
The sun is going down, the sky behind and visions of you would stand
Overlapping with you and the fence beyond
Remember the night that we met up?
Broke into me and taken everything left in my heart
So fragile is the air, it always keeps on revolving near and wide
Loneliness envelops deep in your eyes
It's stuck in tick and tocking mode
Never refraining shamble, block of sound
Too many terrible noises around and the voice ringing in me gets louder
With tears about to fall
I need to find me an average happy tiptoe
Locating, never tough when I'm with you
Saw what got seen hid beneath, and louder nights keep beating
I'm going to you, and giving brighter shiny tomorrows
What can night for you mean infinite? You could run with me
Place your hand in mine, you gotta stay, hold up
Want to leave it behind, dark cruel days, in deep, you may have hid before
I'm embracing you until more heat dissolve what is caught up
Sun will soon rise up into a day you're no more too afraid
Keep all of me in you
Only perceiving through your eyes
I see nothing, I'll soon hate you, keep me out, I'm crying out
You're falling into deeper fascination, giving away your love
That expression has got me crying out
She's gonna try to me, she's gonna lie
Got to force a belief and trust to keep on
Every time it happens, heap of attack, and now I'm back in
I got to cry, then who knows?
So we gotta keep on
If you gotta keep on
Then we're gonna keep on
One day, we will understand, I'm believing in you
No, wanna stop it, you got me tired of walking
As I show my needs, I reach to get back on, still not fit in
You free my hand, then leave it
No, wanna stop it, you got me tired of walking
Never told you the truth, I'm feeling that inside
Back for another tick and tocking mode
Never refraining shamble, block of sound
Killing, oh, too many words that I gathered around
Won't let me go to your mind
"I want it to be done" is what went out
It found a way to finally leak out of me
And for once, I could make you let out a smile
Saw what got seen hid beneath, and louder nights are keeping me down
My new images of you now appear heavenly now
What can night for you mean when fallen seas of tears are gone?
They dissolve into the peace inside of you
Calling to life, hit beneath, crying days in the eternal
Give me what I saw in you, oh, what an end to stop all
Seize a move, you're on me, falling and we were dissolving
See me to it, fog is leaving, bright air move
Won't you leave it behind? Tucked all days away, forget, and hid beneath
Hand in hand, extend to me, that let me know beyond falls
Through the seas of beyond, so loud and blows you afloat in the sky
New wind moving into you
Tonight, don't ever lose sight of me and let go
You and me are running through the night in dark, I'll take you
This song gave me the same vibe as the song cannibal by Kesha lol cuz even though the meaning is dark people were dancing on it 💀
My friend vibing to the song:
Me sending him this video: *AHAHAHAHAH*
Definitely not me who just got done jamming to this song for 3 hours straight💀
Context: There’s a girl who attempts suicide but is saved by a boy and it turns into a love relationship just like love at first sight. The boy asks the girl why she wants to die and she says she has thanatos illness. Basically people ruled by thanatos want death and those ruled by eros desire life and have will to live. People with thanatos can see the grim reaper. Since the girl is ruled by thanatos, the grim reaper is calling out to her and the boy gets jealous. She tries to attempt suicide again and it looks like she is just waiting for the boy to come and save her again. After a while she says no more so they break up now the boy does’nt want to live either. Now it flashes to where they both are at a rooftop and the girl finally smiles (both ready to jump off) they both jumped off happily and the boy died… the girl did’nt because she never existed. The boy was the one with thanatos the whole time and the girl was his grim reaper.
"sounds happy and uplifting" yup thats Yaosobe for yah
And what about biri biri? It's a Pokémon song. So it couldn't be that dark, right?
ngl that is a great premise for a show in of itself.
Yeah, before I went to look for the actual music video, the more I listened to the song on its own, the dark vibe was felt more and more. I even listened to it any time I had the chance to listen to music during pilgrimage. It also helped me calm down and make headcanons of one of my favorite fandoms. Although, I gotta say, this was the first time I’ve actually heard of the actual meaning of the song despite already seeing the lyrics. Thank you!
Edit: I forgot to say that this song is perfect for both when you’re happy and need something that keeps up with your heartbeat or when you’re in anguish and need to feel understood.
When I heard it I was like “is that idol?!”
I like this new “unaliving herself” euphemism
This is like the evil twin of the YBC song
I knew about the song but not the lore and now every time I hear the song it gives me chills knowing the lore but it’s just so good😭😭😭😭
