I keep wondering why his eyes were different from the form he'd taken. But based on other comments, here are my thoughts: She doesn't mean eyes physically. Not color, not shape. Another commenter suggested her previous partner was abusive. Because he treats her so well, I believe she means his eyes are different in the sense of being kind and soft towards her, rather than hard and cruel.
Bakeneko are sort of a subspecies of Nekomata. The thing about Nekomata is that they're known to kill and eat people, particularly those who have hurt them. True, Bakeneko aren't as malevolent as Nekomata are but there's an interesting story I heard about their shapeshifting. If I remember correctly, both Bakeneko and Nekomata (in this story) are only able to shapeshift into people that they have killed and eaten. So, assuming those rules are followed in this story, perhaps Len's guilt is a bit more than "I took on the role of your dead lover" but instead "I killed him, ate him and now I'm taking on his form." I could be wrong, but it would be interesting!
If that's the case, then "after all the wrong I've done to you, please tell me that you hate me too" would make perfect since. But if bakeneko eat the people who harmed them I wonder what the girl's boyfriend/husband did to him? But I agree with some of the other people, it would make a good anime. Maybe not quite as a series but as a movie.
Hi! So, what's going on is that Len is a bakeneko, a monster-cat who can shape-shift (you can google this.) We then have Lady-san whose lover passed away, and Len, wanting to cheer her up, turns into her lover, pretending that he lost his memory and saying things like "I'll never leave" Well, turns out that Lady-san knew all along he was fake, but "It's alright." Len, however, feels horrible. The curse is undone, but Len hates himself for manipulating Lady-san's feelings. Hope this helps! (:
i don't really understand this. so, if a bakeneko can only turn into a human they ate, does that mean that len ate her lover? but why is she not upset? i'll guess that her original lover was abusive or something, and len ate him only to be with her, unbeknownst to him. perhaps thats why she isn't sad, because he has different eyes she knows that its somebody else-- and len treats her better. that might be why she was not sad at the end, but rather said "thank you".
“It’s okay if I lose everything if it means that I can hide away the real me” Saying those words he fell in love with a human so deeply -- Such goes the bakeneko’s story So here’s the you who recently lost your lover It seemed that you would not smile for any other To bring back your smile, his form and life I would assume I told this to the bright, full moon When you saw me you broke down in tears I held you tightly and whispered into your ear “I’ll never leave your side I promise,” Ah, dear god above... Just how cruel was I, my love? So I pretended that I had lost my memory All for the sake that you’d smile again for me to see There is not a lie or sin that’d make me hesitate I’d do it all for you, at any rate Then you came to me and said on one night: “Hey I wonder if you ever realized” “You and him - you do not have the same eyes” “But you know, it’s really alright...” When I looked to you I was trembling You held me tightly and said to me while crying “I beg of you please never leave me,” Ah dear god above... Was this my punishment, my love? At that time, my guise started to fade These foreign human words I could no longer make And as I ran away I heard your voice call after me You said, “Thank you for everything.” But look at me and all the wrong that I have done to you Please tell me that you hate me too...
I have a japanese cover of it already! As for english, koko already has such a wonderful dub, I was afraid to touch it 8'D but perhaps I'll give it a shot!
I wonder if there's a manga for this song the fricking comments just blew my mind about the lover might be abusive and that Len killed that lover and replace him and rin (the lady) thanking the bakeneko for treating her so kindly . I just remembered this song for some reason so I searched the English version . I miss listening to this song
You have no idea how much I love this, Ham! Your voice is FANTABULOUS! And this song....Ive always loved the song. But your voice and translyrics makes me love it more
Oh Ham, when I first listened I died drowning in awe...don't worry I came back to life. Anyways, thank you ;-; you helped me start my story that I've been trying to write. *bows* Arigatou Ham-sama!
*She - I'm a girl ;D but ahaha you're right, both of these voices are me! And they are always me unless you see another name up there in the title ~ (:
LOLOL i just mean like, month of the super moon, i have no idea what night it was on, i think it was a day or two before this cover bahhaa. THANKS YO ♥
I know I commented a little while ago and swore I wouldn't request anything till your next video, but.. XD You should do a cover for Love Distance Long Affair~
I thought it sounded a bit like "Yumekui Shiro Kuro Baku" and then I saw the name of the producer and facepalmed. XD Anyway, I love this! ♥ Your voice is amazing~
Ham...Nem...Ham and Nem. I love you beautiful person. *squeals* Quick question, are planning of covering any other Nem songs? *coughsVirginSuicidescoughs*
My chest voice is from Bb2 (little more than octave below middle C) to Bb4 (little less than octave above middle C), give or take depending on the day, and my head voice goes roughly an octave above that (:
Ah omg~ Servant of Evil was one of the first songs I wrote English lyrics for, waaaaay back in the day, but I never got around to singing it! Maybe I will, someday! (:
I GET IT! Ok so the girl lost her love but Bakeneko(is a cat) fell in love with her so he pretended to be the lover and pretend to loose him memory. But the girl said that her lover and Bakeneko don't have the same eyes. And Bakeneko was turning to cat so he ran away. :D
I keep wondering why his eyes were different from the form he'd taken. But based on other comments, here are my thoughts:
She doesn't mean eyes physically. Not color, not shape. Another commenter suggested her previous partner was abusive. Because he treats her so well, I believe she means his eyes are different in the sense of being kind and soft towards her, rather than hard and cruel.

AWESOME
This makes more sense for the entire song
If that's the case, then "after all the wrong I've done to you, please tell me that you hate me too" would make perfect since. But if bakeneko eat the people who harmed them I wonder what the girl's boyfriend/husband did to him? But I agree with some of the other people, it would make a good anime. Maybe not quite as a series but as a movie.
Actually, the do not *have* to eat the person. It can also just be a recently deceased one.
I didn't know that! Thanks!

bakeneko's can shapeshift into recently deceased humans too, not just ones they have eaten
“It’s okay if I lose everything
if it means that I can hide away the real me”
Saying those words he fell in love with a human so deeply
-- Such goes the bakeneko’s story
So here’s the you who recently lost your lover
It seemed that you would not smile for any other
To bring back your smile, his form and life I would assume
I told this to the bright, full moon
When you saw me you broke down in tears
I held you tightly and whispered into your ear
“I’ll never leave your side I promise,”
Ah, dear god above...
Just how cruel was I, my love?
So I pretended that I had lost my memory
All for the sake that you’d smile again for me to see
There is not a lie or sin that’d make me hesitate
I’d do it all for you, at any rate
Then you came to me and said on one night:
“Hey I wonder if you ever realized”
“You and him - you do not have the same eyes”
“But you know, it’s really alright...”
When I looked to you I was trembling
You held me tightly and said to me while crying
“I beg of you please never leave me,”
Ah dear god above...
Was this my punishment, my love?
At that time, my guise started to fade
These foreign human words I could no longer make
And as I ran away I heard your voice call after me
You said, “Thank you for everything.”
But look at me and all the wrong that I have done to you
Please tell me that you hate me too...
oh shit, that just turned the story 100x's darker 8D
LOVE the song and voice but hate how it ends 😢
well that's a vocaloid song for ya, just be glad len didn't die like he usually does.
The first time I read the title, I read it as idiot cat. It took me so long to get it right.
Me too :)
😂
