      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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    抱きしめた温もりで溶かすから
    怖くないよいつか日が昇るまで

    終わりにしたいだなんてさ
    釣られて言葉にした時
    君は初めて笑った

    僕の目に映る君は綺麗だ

    君の笑顔に溶けていく
    変わらない日々に泣いていた僕を
    君は優しく終わりへと誘う
    沈むように溶けてゆくように
    染み付いた霧が晴れる
    忘れてしまいたくて閉じ込めた日々に
    差し伸べてくれた君の手を取る

    "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.
