My theory is that the guy in the orange is sacrificing his individuality to blend in essentially and not to bother anyone. He blends in, not being anything special in any way. And by the end, he becomes no one.
Yeah, something like that. I think that he was a kid who grew up with very strict parents, so he was always told to blend in, yet stand out; have people acknowledge you, but don’t cause trouble. Basically, he was always supposed to keep his manners, and adequate. This was all he knew to do, and it started to drive him insane, not being able to live how he wants and not stand out. He’s not able to express his true feelings, he can only go with the flow. A bitter chocolate decoration, pleasing on the outside, yet bitter and distasteful in the inside, hence the name of the song, and how he feels Another theory is that I have is similar, where as he grows up, he realizes he must be mature, and live by those rules I talked about in the first theory. The woman serving him is maturity. As a kid, he always saw maturity as this, serious, strict person. And now that he’s grown up, he’s constantly being served and reminded by maturity on his morals and how to act. So at the end of the video, when he finally looks back at his childhood, he sees maturity and remembers that it was and still is, a serious strict rule adults must abide to, and this was the painful truth of growing up
Yeah, and at the end it said”oh you’re that serious looking person before, one second thought, never mind.” Even the people that knew him before don’t recognize him now. Because he has “grown up”
@@Artorius1108 I know people who act exactly like this, and was like this myself, so I think it's more likely that it comes from an inability to please others. After constant disapproval from others when people are younger, whether it be parents or otherwise, this usually happens to people. I think that the main person who made the person in the video this way was the "serious looking person" at the end, since it would make sense that someone who is more serious than kind would be less considerate when criticizing others or stating how they could have done better. This might not be a correct theory, but from personal experience this feels like what it is.
Ik I'm commenting literally +1 year later but I think the orange guy is trying to suit everyone he's trying to be like the perfect person and everytime he says something he always says after it the opposite (he doesn't overdo things and keep things to the medium)
What the song is trying to say, well in my perspective, most people nowadays try to act like an ideal person based on majority to gain favor and please people around you, while avoiding your real thoughts. We try to act like this fake person who just agrees based on what the majority likes even if deep inside us we know that we have a different opinion about the matter, and we do it all for the sake of good appearance. Song also mentioned about not being able to act like a child and implies we've lost the traits like our straightforwardness and honesty when we were young and at the end it implies that this is how you become an adult, a Bitter Choco Decoration, something that only pleases others for the sake of its appearance and has lost its sweet taste.
@@user-jx3ji9vl3z So the person at the end of the song who said, "Ooh! I remember now! You're that serious-looking person from back then... On second thought, nevermind." Is the shadow of the orange guy? It also showed in the end the orange guy with black and blue. What could that mean? Was that his true self like he mentioned that he wanted to be before? His shadow or a alternative personality? (And if yes then who's the other two persons (the maid and the guy in the end except if they are the same person)) Or could it be a another him (like how he could be if he didn't act for the society)? Or just like a bad memory (or maybe even the future?) of something else? Btw, the maid looked like they (cuz we don't know gender) were like dead. Maybe that was his mother who died? Because that's who 'took care of him' by 'feeding' him and learned him to be this way. He also says "I've finally grown up, mama." Idk I'm just brainstorming right here😂
@@katp3837 Let's call orange dude "O", his other personality "B" and the maid "M" for convenience. Maybe, at first, O was talking to B, but B wasn't visible. However, it looked like he was talking to M. Something like "Oh, have I seen you in the past...? On second thought, nevermind." As if he couldn't recognize M. Maybe M was his mom, but also changed with time, making him unable to recognize her? When he said the last part, he looked down and smiled regretfully, almost self-deprecatingly. As if that's something he shouldn't say, making him feel guilty by saying it. When O begins to feel bad at 1:37, M appears to be comforting him. Dunno if that's relevant, but that's there. EDIT: It appears M isn't comforting O, but is actually proud of him. Saying stuff like "You know, considering this is your first time, and you can already do this, you must have a knack for this!". In the second conversation, it becomes clear that O isn't talking to B, but the opposite happened. His repressed self came to talk to him first. It would make sense for B to say "Oh, I remember now! You're that serious-looking person from back then...", since they're the same person. O looks back at B with surprise and disgust. And then, as if to mock him, B repeats the line "On second thought, nevermind." while smiling at him, this time with a visible form.
@@SeventhListener Very interesting idea. Indeed, it seems like O is feeling something like regret and nostalgia to the M. Maybe M is the dead mother (because of her clothes, they look too worn out) of O. Could it be that he denies her existence, as of someone he knew? M also does seem like she's feeling proud of him. Maybe because of her teachings (will talk about it later)?Is M actually B, (they share the same colour palette) so they're both some people he used to know but now have passed away? And so maybe that's why B says that he was that serious looking person from before(if they're not dead)? And speaking of B, is B related to O in anyway? Maybe they are like alternatives egos. The opposite of blue is orange. And B has blue and black/grey colours meanwhile O has orange and black/grey. Maybe since O says that he always have to suppress his wants and ego, those feelings made a other personality or person out of his mind? So maybe he's not real. Like you said, he's invisible. Maybe M isn't real either. Since at 2:54, if you pause it at the right timing, it shows him with a VR gear and headphones. But I'm not sure what could that mean. Maybe his mom/M(?) died and by using simulations makes him feel better? Maybe he practices what the M taught him(explained later)? Or just stays inside his home closing himself off society? Maybe all the "reality" we see from his prospective is just the simulation he plays from the gear? I think that the M is the mother of O, but I don't think he was treated right. Because thorough out his life he's being taught not to be picky and always be talkable and social but at the same time not trusting and mystic. If we take this concept I think the mother would be too harsh to him and too much like a stranger so he always didn't exactly interact with M/Mother(?). Also let's not forget that he said "I finally grown up, mama." The way he spoke here reveals his possible childish-naive side of him. Maybe because of the harsh training by M made him to be cut off the society. And that's why he may look like a prisoner. The scenes around him, the clothes and everything seems like he's in a prison of sort. So maybe that's why he's so naive and too fixed on his goal, to grow up. EDIT: I just noticed in 2:54 again it shows O with the B and M colour palettes!? Could it be that B is actually him?! Or I'm just too excited?😂 Sorry if it's kinda messy, I just have too many ideas it's confusing me😂
The protag is wearing what looks to me like a prison uniform and seeing as how the song talks about what the protag can and cannot be as a person, my theory is that all of this represents the protag feeling trapped and imprisoned by the ideas and expectations society has on them. Maybe the person in the dress is a representation of society and the plates/cutlery/food is the expectations that are being fed to the protag. But that's just a theory.
you can actually hear footsteps in the beginning before the vocals come in if you listen closely, my theory is that the singer dreads the other person in the mv coming to serve them, so they train themselves to hear the steps from afar so they can prepare themselves and put on a mask
Oh, you should definitely see the captions for Wozwald then. The song will make you trip, Miyashita's vocals are godly and even the subtitles are a work of art.
I interpretate this song as a telling of the way adults teach kids to always sit still and do as they're told and behave. The song mentions about stopping a "picky eating habit", which is a really common thing to see on kids. Through the MV see the orange kid "eat it all and not say a word", and it ends up with him saying "I've finally grown up, mama", because now he understand how to shove everything down, like adults do.
It was extremely relatable to me as someone with adhd. It resonated to me word for word. Acting like a slave to others to please their desires but deep down I'm all bitter showing middle fingers to all the cunts that took advantage of my kindness, but in the end I'm just forgotten
i know this is a late reply but theres also issues about rape and bottling in molestation.....like in 2:11 and onward a love hotel is shown and the phrase "no means yes"is term used when theres molestation involved....so the main character got molested and was also forced to become an "adult"...as an interpretation

Estoy de acuerdo! creo que hizo un buen arreglo. En el original está bien como está porque queda bien con la voz de miku pero en los covers desde que comienza el estribillo se mezcla con el instrumental más las voces del fondo y hace que no se entienda muy bien, pero aquí el comienza el estribillo de manera sueve y va subiendo hasta que acaba y no lo hace de manera abrupta, quedó genial.
@@lovexdevour0910 Wait I saw the video on mobile, what happened is that the subtitles are black which is why people can't see them through PC. Going on mobile should fix the problem
Thank you for that!! That actually makes a lot more sense on why hes wearing that. Fun facts are just tid bits, so thanks for adding that little thing, shows the metaphor they were trying for that imagery. And obvi you didn't mean to say it was for gluttony but its very obvious it's a theme their using. Very smart!
Fairly sure the doors at 2:10 are actually the lobby of a love hotel, and also around 2:45 you can see flashes of the main character in a VR headset. Something tells me the ending of this is more about a boy losing innocence in an attempt to become an adult to be given praise from an older woman (groomer), but that's just my interpretation. Lines like "no often means yes" and "considering this is your first time, you have a nack for this" while she's caressing him, idk just makes me think there's darker sexual subtext to this.
"No often means yes" is a very popular term among sexual predators in Japan, from what i know. Mostly directed to underaged teens, mostly girls, alot of them believe that theyre playing some sort of roleplay where theyre secretly begging for it, but cant say because theyre in a public space, which is pretty disgusting tbh
The way I understand it, it's about how detoriating the standards of the norm is. In the first few bits of the mv, the protag is aware of what he should and should not do. Of how much he can show and hide about himself. For example, the woman with him when he's eating. She can be his mother, pressuring him or the chiding nature of societal expectations. Also the fine dining setting, that he should always be prim and proper and was fed by lumps of dark strange stuff. No matter how overbearing it is, show your best smile. This does not pose any problems for him because obviously it was beneficial on his part and it seems that he is doing it intently. But as the song progresses, he started questioning why he has to do such things but he still does them because he'll lose everything he worked hard for maintaining for people around him to see that he achieved the ideal. Around this time, the woman wrapped her arms around him. It might be like an act of comforting or keeping him from getting away. So, he keeps on doing and doing it until he just felt nothing about it anymore. That he became the impenetrable shell he made and his true self can't even get out it, too. Now he turns into looking similar to the lump of dark strange stuff the woman feeds him before. He reached the point where he himself became overbearing for him. He hates it now. I think he spiraled out of control and rebeled against the system. By being the polar opposite of what his colleagues, his friends, his family knew him as before. Because he loathes what he had become. I rather find this message painful because at what cost are we willing to endure and alter parts of ourselves for means of superficial relationships and survival?
This is a story about a boy who didn't fit the society's demands of him so in an attempt to not be outcasted, he hid his real personality, learning to put on a mask pretending to be somebody charming and eloquent. I'm assuming he was successful to an extent as whilst wearing this mask he became more popular, well liked and fit in more. Under the mask however he DESPISED everybody but kept up the act to keep up appearances. However, after a while, he realises he is trapped. If he took off this mask he had created for himself then all his friends would leave him and his place within the society would vanish. This fear of being outcasted is what kept him going but because of his mask nobody could see the suffering he was enduring and the pain/pressure he felt. The suffering and pain he feels gets stronger and stronger. Eventually he snaps, he can't keep up this mask anymore which is why at 2:40 he curls up and his clothes turn black, the suffering overwhelms him. The mask breaks at 2:54 and he's being his real self now and finally showing what's behind the mask. A person who is extremely depressed and miserable not at all eloquent and charming as his peers thought him to be. The facade he had is now completely shattered hence the broken plates and masks near the end of the song. The 'mother' featured throughout the song is a representation of society's expectations, and the food can be seen as the rules society pushes on children in order to get them to conform/grow up. You see at 0:28 when the 'mother' first serves him food he looks repelled but by 1:27 he gives into the pressures and starts feasting upon these social norms, conforming to them and sacrificing his real personality in order to fit in. When the boy asks the mother at 1:03 "By the way, have we met before?" This was close to the beginning of the song when he was still considered a naiive child who hadn't yet conformed to the rules of society. Whilst he'd likely seen these societal norms around him he'd never experienced the pressures and demands of it personally. So whilst the boy hadn't 'met' the women before but she was definitely familiar to him. At 3:07 the boy claims that he now remembers her saying 'you're that serious looking person from back then'. This plays on the perception children have of adults and them being 'serious'. As a child, he likely thought of society's demands and expectations to simply be 'serious looking'. However, when the boy turns around, he finally sees the society's real face that isn't covered up by a white cloth. And the person behind the mask is a corrupt looking person smiling at him cruelly. Now his depressed and broken personality has been revealed to the rest of the superficial society, he is probably going to lose his friends and be outcasted. But at least now he's not wearing the mask and not pretending. The title of the song Bitter Choco Decoration is a reference to himself. One who is bitter and broken on the inside but still viewed as a decoration.
I have a little theory that goes with my personal experience. The few theories I read were mostly on the subject of the "adult" mentality and the hypocrisy it brings. However for some people (since childhood) the fact of lying with beautiful words, of not saying no on something that we don't like and of making sure that the person in front of us is never upset and linked to the fear of abandonment and of losing everything if we do something that doesn't go in the direction of a person and it becomes literally a habit or even a philosopher that we impose on ourselves. Putting others before ourselves, or even totally forgetting ourselves. I don't really know if that's what this music was about, but it made me think about it.

this song hits really close to home. i’ve lately been making an effort to be as neutral as possible. then, maybe, people wouldn’t be so invasive. maybe they wouldn’t care so much.
I love miyyu's covers so much because even if the original song sounds amazing, he finishes giving it that feeling of despair and anguish with his voice, it's awesome.
1:27 see how that person feeding the orange guy has the blue underneath their mask thing, it’s the same blue that the orange guy gets at the end. Meaning he is now one of them, also the scene where the orange lights change to that blue represents others slowly changing too. Changing into what? I’m sure you can find other theories on that in the comments
I absolutely love yuu’s covers of songs sm, he always manages to capture the feeling and vibe of the song and I just love it! And don’t even get me started on his vocal range, it’s literal perfection 🙇♀️
this is about changing yourself to be a shell, such that no one can question you solely living for the purpose of pleasing others. 1:05 to me symbolizes, the thoughts we have but we leave unsaid only to not cause problems even over such a small thing like asking someone if you've met before.. 1:13 "and to not talk about myself so that people wont know too much about me" reflects the isolation of ones self to make life easier, so that you don't get caught up in problems. continuing on to 1:19 reinforcing the idea of pleasing others "but i also musnt keep my mouth completey shut, and being laughed at than making people laugh" meaning, it almost seems there no winning.. you try to be quiet but being quiet is not a way to win either. ultimately the only way to "win" or "grow up" is to live to please others and completely rip your personality apart. "at times that lonely love would taint you" i feel like this part of the song it delving more into adult relationships possibly within the working environment, the "love" you share is often only for the purpose of pleasing others, leaving you feeling empty and tainted, having to give up that pure honest part of yourself. i dont think this song is about grooming at all but rather the expectations of the "adult world" and not being able to live in it without accepting these parts of it, completely changing yourself and losing a lot of joy... especially in japan where respect is such a huge thing nothing like what it is in america.. in 1:55 it goes on to say "I had such grand ideas at the beginning.. always talking big but now no often means yes. " again, showing the ridiculousness of what is it to be considered mature. its taught to us that we need to put other above ourselves when kind things are given to us, we reject to be humble, when compliments are given to us we reject to be humble and adult like. in 2:37 " i long for the ideal that everyone wishes for" going along with the theme of fitting in and being adult like this most likely means living life for the purpose of getting money, going to college etc etc, again throwing away your personality and wishes ultimately to please others or fit in. the later line "i reduce my individuality and my emotions to ashes" supporting my earlier statement, i like to believe the figure in the video IS him mom literally. he does call her mama at the end.. i think its just about him trying to live up to what his mom wants, blending into the masses.. "kill your desires and ego, and bury them all underground" ALSO: there is a lot of symbolism in this music video. while he is spinning on top of the plate, i think it reflects how vulnerable children are if they dont "grow up" youre going to be "eaten" if you dont live up to certain standards and apply a mental barrier.. just as he is being "fed" these expectations being forced to adapt and change. "just eat it all and dont say a word" 0:50 "you gotta fix your picky eating habits" could be taken literally, as a part of growing up but also as a metaphor for obeying and not questioning what youre being told. To not have a mind of your own and just do as your told. and this is just me digging in even further but, the color orange often represents youth, to be energetic, happy and spontaneous.. the protagonist is seen orange in color most of the video. however, at the the color shifts to a turquoise, when he has "finally grown up" at 2:53.. turquoise often symbolized wisdom. in the mv the turquoise color seems to represent the expectations/ knowledge hes being fed.
What really makes this song amazing is it's careful ambiguity, there are so many different interpretations. This means more people can form their own thoughts on it.
golly gosh this is absolute gold, your voice is so amazing and fits very well. The little changes in pitch and tone you do with your voice is brilliant and I'm in love
I'm confused why nobody mentions how it isn't society in general that is trapping him, but it seems to be his mother especially who is forcing her expectations on him. It also seems to be... some other abuse involved, considering the "first time" talk and the keys like in a hotel. My guess towards it's interpretation goes towards an abusive mother, and that he is trapped because he can't escape her specifically. I think another hint that not society in general is the issue here is the very last two sentences, where the other guy talks about him "being super serious", meaning he was still out of the ordinary.
I'm not sure if that figure is meant to represent a mother as why would the protagonist ask, "Did we meet somewhere the other day?" if that was the case? There is the implication that the mother wasn't great regardless with "I've finally grown up, mama," though.
Some parts of this remind me of The Promised Never land like the parts where hes floating over the plate as if he's food. Great job on this song I really like it!
My theory is that the guy in the orange is sacrificing his individuality to blend in essentially and not to bother anyone. He blends in, not being anything special in any way. And by the end, he becomes no one.
Dat Boi Is Here
I had to dig deep for this. Still worth it tho!!!!
Yeah, something like that. I think that he was a kid who grew up with very strict parents, so he was always told to blend in, yet stand out; have people acknowledge you, but don’t cause trouble. Basically, he was always supposed to keep his manners, and adequate. This was all he knew to do, and it started to drive him insane, not being able to live how he wants and not stand out. He’s not able to express his true feelings, he can only go with the flow. A bitter chocolate decoration, pleasing on the outside, yet bitter and distasteful in the inside, hence the name of the song, and how he feels
Another theory is that I have is similar, where as he grows up, he realizes he must be mature, and live by those rules I talked about in the first theory. The woman serving him is maturity. As a kid, he always saw maturity as this, serious, strict person. And now that he’s grown up, he’s constantly being served and reminded by maturity on his morals and how to act. So at the end of the video, when he finally looks back at his childhood, he sees maturity and remembers that it was and still is, a serious strict rule adults must abide to, and this was the painful truth of growing up
Yeah, and at the end it said”oh you’re that serious looking person before, one second thought, never mind.” Even the people that knew him before don’t recognize him now. Because he has “grown up”
@@Artorius1108 I know people who act exactly like this, and was like this myself, so I think it's more likely that it comes from an inability to please others. After constant disapproval from others when people are younger, whether it be parents or otherwise, this usually happens to people. I think that the main person who made the person in the video this way was the "serious looking person" at the end, since it would make sense that someone who is more serious than kind would be less considerate when criticizing others or stating how they could have done better. This might not be a correct theory, but from personal experience this feels like what it is.
Ik I'm commenting literally +1 year later but I think the orange guy is trying to suit everyone he's trying to be like the perfect person and everytime he says something he always says after it the opposite (he doesn't overdo things and keep things to the medium)
What the song is trying to say, well in my perspective, most people nowadays try to act like an ideal person based on majority to gain favor and please people around you, while avoiding your real thoughts. We try to act like this fake person who just agrees based on what the majority likes even if deep inside us we know that we have a different opinion about the matter, and we do it all for the sake of good appearance. Song also mentioned about not being able to act like a child and implies we've lost the traits like our straightforwardness and honesty when we were young and at the end it implies that this is how you become an adult, a Bitter Choco Decoration, something that only pleases others for the sake of its appearance and has lost its sweet taste.
Do you have any ideas on why he kept wondering who the other person was? Or is that an Easter egg from other MVs the artist did?
And some people can’t hold it
Or exaggerate it until they forget themselves.
@@user-jx3ji9vl3z So the person at the end of the song who said, "Ooh! I remember now! You're that serious-looking person from back then... On second thought, nevermind." Is the shadow of the orange guy? It also showed in the end the orange guy with black and blue. What could that mean? Was that his true self like he mentioned that he wanted to be before? His shadow or a alternative personality? (And if yes then who's the other two persons (the maid and the guy in the end except if they are the same person)) Or could it be a another him (like how he could be if he didn't act for the society)? Or just like a bad memory (or maybe even the future?) of something else?
Btw, the maid looked like they (cuz we don't know gender) were like dead. Maybe that was his mother who died? Because that's who 'took care of him' by 'feeding' him and learned him to be this way. He also says "I've finally grown up, mama." Idk I'm just brainstorming right here😂
@@katp3837
Let's call orange dude "O", his other personality "B" and the maid "M" for convenience.
Maybe, at first, O was talking to B, but B wasn't visible. However, it looked like he was talking to M. Something like "Oh, have I seen you in the past...? On second thought, nevermind." As if he couldn't recognize M. Maybe M was his mom, but also changed with time, making him unable to recognize her? When he said the last part, he looked down and smiled regretfully, almost self-deprecatingly. As if that's something he shouldn't say, making him feel guilty by saying it.
When O begins to feel bad at 1:37, M appears to be comforting him. Dunno if that's relevant, but that's there.
EDIT: It appears M isn't comforting O, but is actually proud of him. Saying stuff like "You know, considering this is your first time, and you can already do this, you must have a knack for this!".
In the second conversation, it becomes clear that O isn't talking to B, but the opposite happened. His repressed self came to talk to him first. It would make sense for B to say "Oh, I remember now! You're that serious-looking person from back then...", since they're the same person. O looks back at B with surprise and disgust. And then, as if to mock him, B repeats the line "On second thought, nevermind." while smiling at him, this time with a visible form.
@@SeventhListener Very interesting idea. Indeed, it seems like O is feeling something like regret and nostalgia to the M. Maybe M is the dead mother (because of her clothes, they look too worn out) of O. Could it be that he denies her existence, as of someone he knew? M also does seem like she's feeling proud of him. Maybe because of her teachings (will talk about it later)?Is M actually B, (they share the same colour palette) so they're both some people he used to know but now have passed away? And so maybe that's why B says that he was that serious looking person from before(if they're not dead)? And speaking of B, is B related to O in anyway? Maybe they are like alternatives egos. The opposite of blue is orange. And B has blue and black/grey colours meanwhile O has orange and black/grey. Maybe since O says that he always have to suppress his wants and ego, those feelings made a other personality or person out of his mind? So maybe he's not real. Like you said, he's invisible. Maybe M isn't real either. Since at 2:54, if you pause it at the right timing, it shows him with a VR gear and headphones. But I'm not sure what could that mean. Maybe his mom/M(?) died and by using simulations makes him feel better? Maybe he practices what the M taught him(explained later)? Or just stays inside his home closing himself off society? Maybe all the "reality" we see from his prospective is just the simulation he plays from the gear?
I think that the M is the mother of O, but I don't think he was treated right. Because thorough out his life he's being taught not to be picky and always be talkable and social but at the same time not trusting and mystic. If we take this concept I think the mother would be too harsh to him and too much like a stranger so he always didn't exactly interact with M/Mother(?). Also let's not forget that he said "I finally grown up, mama." The way he spoke here reveals his possible childish-naive side of him. Maybe because of the harsh training by M made him to be cut off the society. And that's why he may look like a prisoner. The scenes around him, the clothes and everything seems like he's in a prison of sort. So maybe that's why he's so naive and too fixed on his goal, to grow up.
EDIT: I just noticed in 2:54 again it shows O with the B and M colour palettes!? Could it be that B is actually him?! Or I'm just too excited?😂
Sorry if it's kinda messy, I just have too many ideas it's confusing me😂

The protag is wearing what looks to me like a prison uniform and seeing as how the song talks about what the protag can and cannot be as a person, my theory is that all of this represents the protag feeling trapped and imprisoned by the ideas and expectations society has on them. Maybe the person in the dress is a representation of society and the plates/cutlery/food is the expectations that are being fed to the protag. But that's just a theory.
Like the o ly theory i have read relating the costume to a prison uniform ,
A game theory
I’ll see you guys next time

A GAME THEORY
you can actually hear footsteps in the beginning before the vocals come in if you listen closely, my theory is that the singer dreads the other person in the mv
coming to serve them, so they train themselves to hear the steps from afar so they can prepare themselves and put on a mask

I interpretate this song as a telling of the way adults teach kids to always sit still and do as they're told and behave. The song mentions about stopping a "picky eating habit", which is a really common thing to see on kids. Through the MV see the orange kid "eat it all and not say a word", and it ends up with him saying "I've finally grown up, mama", because now he understand how to shove everything down, like adults do.
It was extremely relatable to me as someone with adhd. It resonated to me word for word. Acting like a slave to others to please their desires but deep down I'm all bitter showing middle fingers to all the cunts that took advantage of my kindness, but in the end I'm just forgotten
i know this is a late reply but theres also issues about rape and bottling in molestation.....like in 2:11 and onward a love hotel is shown and the phrase "no means yes"is term used when theres molestation involved....so the main character got molested and was also forced to become an "adult"...as an interpretation

Hey is it just my pc or do you guys also notice a few subtitle missing?
@@lovexdevour0910 Yea I noticed too, it was near the end
@@lovexdevour0910 Wait I saw the video on mobile, what happened is that the subtitles are black which is why people can't see them through PC. Going on mobile should fix the problem
fun fact: Gluttony is represented by the color orange (most commonly, I dunno if it's in the Bible)
It's not really bout gluttony tho-
While that is quite interesting,I don't think this is about gluttony
Yeah gluttony and greed
Thank you for that!! That actually makes a lot more sense on why hes wearing that.
Fun facts are just tid bits, so thanks for adding that little thing, shows the metaphor they were trying for that imagery.
And obvi you didn't mean to say it was for gluttony but its very obvious it's a theme their using. Very smart!
If you look at color theory, the complementary color for orange is blue/teal :)
Fairly sure the doors at 2:10 are actually the lobby of a love hotel, and also around 2:45 you can see flashes of the main character in a VR headset. Something tells me the ending of this is more about a boy losing innocence in an attempt to become an adult to be given praise from an older woman (groomer), but that's just my interpretation. Lines like "no often means yes" and "considering this is your first time, you have a nack for this" while she's caressing him, idk just makes me think there's darker sexual subtext to this.
I WISH I NEVER READ THIS THEORY 😭😭😭
@@chickennuggets1990 SAME 😭
That's...
That's dark bro, why you gotta do that
the shot at 2:25 would check out too... it always seemed out of place with the "sacrificing your individuality" theory, at least to me.
"No often means yes" is a very popular term among sexual predators in Japan, from what i know. Mostly directed to underaged teens, mostly girls, alot of them believe that theyre playing some sort of roleplay where theyre secretly begging for it, but cant say because theyre in a public space, which is pretty disgusting tbh

I NEED SOME THEORY ABOUT THE SONGS DAMMIT
김윤서 Dang that theory was so good. I was looking for one. Thx
The way I understand it, it's about how detoriating the standards of the norm is. In the first few bits of the mv, the protag is aware of what he should and should not do. Of how much he can show and hide about himself. For example, the woman with him when he's eating. She can be his mother, pressuring him or the chiding nature of societal expectations. Also the fine dining setting, that he should always be prim and proper and was fed by lumps of dark strange stuff. No matter how overbearing it is, show your best smile. This does not pose any problems for him because obviously it was beneficial on his part and it seems that he is doing it intently.
But as the song progresses, he started questioning why he has to do such things but he still does them because he'll lose everything he worked hard for maintaining for people around him to see that he achieved the ideal. Around this time, the woman wrapped her arms around him. It might be like an act of comforting or keeping him from getting away. So, he keeps on doing and doing it until he just felt nothing about it anymore. That he became the impenetrable shell he made and his true self can't even get out it, too.
Now he turns into looking similar to the lump of dark strange stuff the woman feeds him before. He reached the point where he himself became overbearing for him. He hates it now. I think he spiraled out of control and rebeled against the system. By being the polar opposite of what his colleagues, his friends, his family knew him as before. Because he loathes what he had become.
I rather find this message painful because at what cost are we willing to endure and alter parts of ourselves for means of superficial relationships and survival?
@@user-pr6qk5ss3w The person at the end smiling is the same person in the veil. You can tell because they both have green earrings.
@@merkyuruu Thank you for pointing that out!
This is a story about a boy who didn't fit the society's demands of him so in an attempt to not be outcasted, he hid his real personality, learning to put on a mask pretending to be somebody charming and eloquent. I'm assuming he was successful to an extent as whilst wearing this mask he became more popular, well liked and fit in more. Under the mask however he DESPISED everybody but kept up the act to keep up appearances.
However, after a while, he realises he is trapped. If he took off this mask he had created for himself then all his friends would leave him and his place within the society would vanish. This fear of being outcasted is what kept him going but because of his mask nobody could see the suffering he was enduring and the pain/pressure he felt.
The suffering and pain he feels gets stronger and stronger. Eventually he snaps, he can't keep up this mask anymore which is why at 2:40 he curls up and his clothes turn black, the suffering overwhelms him. The mask breaks at 2:54 and he's being his real self now and finally showing what's behind the mask. A person who is extremely depressed and miserable not at all eloquent and charming as his peers thought him to be. The facade he had is now completely shattered hence the broken plates and masks near the end of the song.
The 'mother' featured throughout the song is a representation of society's expectations, and the food can be seen as the rules society pushes on children in order to get them to conform/grow up. You see at 0:28 when the 'mother' first serves him food he looks repelled but by 1:27 he gives into the pressures and starts feasting upon these social norms, conforming to them and sacrificing his real personality in order to fit in.
When the boy asks the mother at 1:03 "By the way, have we met before?" This was close to the beginning of the song when he was still considered a naiive child who hadn't yet conformed to the rules of society. Whilst he'd likely seen these societal norms around him he'd never experienced the pressures and demands of it personally. So whilst the boy hadn't 'met' the women before but she was definitely familiar to him.
At 3:07 the boy claims that he now remembers her saying 'you're that serious looking person from back then'. This plays on the perception children have of adults and them being 'serious'. As a child, he likely thought of society's demands and expectations to simply be 'serious looking'. However, when the boy turns around, he finally sees the society's real face that isn't covered up by a white cloth. And the person behind the mask is a corrupt looking person smiling at him cruelly.
Now his depressed and broken personality has been revealed to the rest of the superficial society, he is probably going to lose his friends and be outcasted. But at least now he's not wearing the mask and not pretending. The title of the song Bitter Choco Decoration is a reference to himself. One who is bitter and broken on the inside but still viewed as a decoration.

I have a little theory that goes with my personal experience. The few theories I read were mostly on the subject of the "adult" mentality and the hypocrisy it brings. However for some people (since childhood) the fact of lying with beautiful words, of not saying no on something that we don't like and of making sure that the person in front of us is never upset and linked to the fear of abandonment and of losing everything if we do something that doesn't go in the direction of a person and it becomes literally a habit or even a philosopher that we impose on ourselves. Putting others before ourselves, or even totally forgetting ourselves. I don't really know if that's what this music was about, but it made me think about it.
That hits too close to home lmao

thank youu
this song hits really close to home. i’ve lately been making an effort to be as neutral as possible. then, maybe, people wouldn’t be so invasive. maybe they wouldn’t care so much.
I'll never get tired of his voice
I am blown away by how absolutely incredible this cover is. There's such a wide variety in the singing, it gives the song so many more layers
ダメだもう沼から抜けられない遊さんにハズレというものが無い
Miyashita should definitely sing more of syudou's songs- they're already masterpieces but he just makes them even better!
I love miyyu's covers so much because even if the original song sounds amazing, he finishes giving it that feeling of despair and anguish with his voice, it's awesome.

OMG YOUR VOICE FITS THIS SONG SO WELL!! LOVE IT 💕🙌😭
Ikr!
I love the female voice that's sometimes shows up
I'm not such a big fan of his songs, but his voice is top notch
IKR
He could fit his voice in any sawng lmao
1:27 see how that person feeding the orange guy has the blue underneath their mask thing, it’s the same blue that the orange guy gets at the end. Meaning he is now one of them, also the scene where the orange lights change to that blue represents others slowly changing too. Changing into what? I’m sure you can find other theories on that in the comments
この日にあげるそーゆー細かいところまで演出してるあたり本当に好きです。ついてきます。
編集で遊んでる感じがもう沼だし中毒性のあるこの曲でもう沼から抜け出せないよどうしてくれんだ
I absolutely love yuu’s covers of songs sm, he always manages to capture the feeling and vibe of the song and I just love it! And don’t even get me started on his vocal range, it’s literal perfection 🙇♀️
2:29 ここで耳溶ける
This is soo addicting, I can't stop listening to this everyday.
初めてこの人の曲を聴きましたが、本当に鳥肌が経ちました。もちろんいい意味で。
Yuu miyashita's voice is just **chefs kiss**
1:39 ここめっちゃ好きです。
誰か、聞いてくれ～
宮下さんの歌った歌を聞いた後、ほかの人の歌ってみた聞いても耳にはいってこないです！！
めっちゃ好きです！
ほんと遊さんの声は聞いてて耳が楽しい…！✨✨
今回も最高です！！！
His voice, so much power. I love it, message, melody, all of it.
One of my favorite covers from you... it sounds amazing
好きな曲×好きな歌い手様

なんだこの人、、、えっろ、、、、すき、、、
this is about changing yourself to be a shell, such that no one can question you solely living for the purpose of pleasing others. 1:05 to me symbolizes, the thoughts we have but we leave unsaid only to not cause problems even over such a small thing like asking someone if you've met before.. 1:13 "and to not talk about myself so that people wont know too much about me" reflects the isolation of ones self to make life easier, so that you don't get caught up in problems. continuing on to 1:19 reinforcing the idea of pleasing others "but i also musnt keep my mouth completey shut, and being laughed at than making people laugh" meaning, it almost seems there no winning.. you try to be quiet but being quiet is not a way to win either. ultimately the only way to "win" or "grow up" is to live to please others and completely rip your personality apart. "at times that lonely love would taint you" i feel like this part of the song it delving more into adult relationships possibly within the working environment, the "love" you share is often only for the purpose of pleasing others, leaving you feeling empty and tainted, having to give up that pure honest part of yourself. i dont think this song is about grooming at all but rather the expectations of the "adult world" and not being able to live in it without accepting these parts of it, completely changing yourself and losing a lot of joy... especially in japan where respect is such a huge thing nothing like what it is in america.. in 1:55 it goes on to say "I had such grand ideas at the beginning.. always talking big but now no often means yes. " again, showing the ridiculousness of what is it to be considered mature. its taught to us that we need to put other above ourselves when kind things are given to us, we reject to be humble, when compliments are given to us we reject to be humble and adult like. in 2:37 " i long for the ideal that everyone wishes for" going along with the theme of fitting in and being adult like this most likely means living life for the purpose of getting money, going to college etc etc, again throwing away your personality and wishes ultimately to please others or fit in. the later line "i reduce my individuality and my emotions to ashes" supporting my earlier statement, i like to believe the figure in the video IS him mom literally. he does call her mama at the end.. i think its just about him trying to live up to what his mom wants, blending into the masses.. "kill your desires and ego, and bury them all underground"
ALSO: there is a lot of symbolism in this music video. while he is spinning on top of the plate, i think it reflects how vulnerable children are if they dont "grow up" youre going to be "eaten" if you dont live up to certain standards and apply a mental barrier.. just as he is being "fed" these expectations being forced to adapt and change. "just eat it all and dont say a word" 0:50 "you gotta fix your picky eating habits" could be taken literally, as a part of growing up but also as a metaphor for obeying and not questioning what youre being told. To not have a mind of your own and just do as your told. and this is just me digging in even further but, the color orange often represents youth, to be energetic, happy and spontaneous.. the protagonist is seen orange in color most of the video. however, at the the color shifts to a turquoise, when he has "finally grown up" at 2:53.. turquoise often symbolized wisdom. in the mv the turquoise color seems to represent the expectations/ knowledge hes being fed.
your ability to convey the feeling of the song using only your voice is really amazing!
遊さんのアレンジめちゃ好きです……！！いろんな声が重なってるから何回聴いても楽しいです！
What really makes this song amazing is it's careful ambiguity, there are so many different interpretations. This means more people can form their own thoughts on it.
Whoever did the English captions deserves more love, damn they did an awesome job 🧡🖤
golly gosh this is absolute gold, your voice is so amazing and fits very well. The little changes in pitch and tone you do with your voice is brilliant and I'm in love
遊さんが歌うと台詞っぽい所はすごい台詞になるからすき（語彙力）
まだ声変わりが終わってないような声の高さがこの曲にすっごくあってる。この曲大好きだから感動しましたありがとうございます……
Even after all these years, this has to be one of the best songs he's covered
この人の曲見つける度に「この歌だとどんな風に遊ぶんだろうな〜」って楽しみになる
ちょっと高い声とハモッてんの綺麗すぎる…
ビターチョコデコレーションのくだりすっごい甘くほのかにビターが香るような雰囲気で歌うの好き
待っっっっってました…………🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️💞
ずっと遊さんで聞いてみたいなと思っていたので待てなさすぎて聴きながらコメしてますがもうほんとにいつものごとく最高すぎてなんかもうありがとうございます…………(語彙力)
Okay but can we appreciate the effort of the person who added the ccs BC THEY IMITATED THE MOVEMENTS OF THE JAPANESE CAPTIONS IN THE VIDEO I-
There is no need for that animation to be that beautifully smooth holy-
遊くん、「よ」が「ひょ」みたいになるからめっちゃ好きです
I was just thinking Miyashita Yuu's voice would go well with this when I was listening to the original!
気づいた瞬間びっくりし過ぎて
丸太を腹にぶつけた時みたいな声が出てしまった(??)
「やっぱいいや」の部分すごく好きです…
時々本当に話してるみたいに歌うの本当に最高すぎて本当にありがとうございます(語彙力)
「大人にやっとなったよママ」の歌詞をこんな本心を諦めて無関心そうに歌う人は聞いた中で1人もいなかったからアレンジ凄いなって思った(小並感)
I'm confused why nobody mentions how it isn't society in general that is trapping him, but it seems to be his mother especially who is forcing her expectations on him.
It also seems to be... some other abuse involved, considering the "first time" talk and the keys like in a hotel.
My guess towards it's interpretation goes towards an abusive mother, and that he is trapped because he can't escape her specifically.
I think another hint that not society in general is the issue here is the very last two sentences, where the other guy talks about him "being super serious", meaning he was still out of the ordinary.
I'm not sure if that figure is meant to represent a mother as why would the protagonist ask, "Did we meet somewhere the other day?" if that was the case? There is the implication that the mother wasn't great regardless with "I've finally grown up, mama," though.
my theory is
this is piece of art
いろんな人のカバー聞いてやっぱ遊くん聴きたくなる好きです
i cannot express how much i relate to this song...
Some parts of this remind me of The Promised Never land like the parts where hes floating over the plate as if he's food. Great job on this song I really like it!
Agreed!
Thought I'm the only one who's thinking it that way, lolololol 😂
YESSS!!!!!
This could be Isabella’s theme song
Same thought!
the end grabbed me by the throat and slammed me into the ground it was that awesome
サビのごちゃごちゃからの静寂のなかの遊さんの歌声とかいうシナリオできあがってるぅ
遊くんのビタチョコがきけるとか最高すぎる😭😭
投稿ありがとうございます！！🙏🏻😢💓
I somehow unlocked dark mode where the screen is pitch black but the subtitles are still there looking amazing
もうね、遊さんほんとよくわかってるよね
自分の声の魅せ方(？)聴かせ方(？)
とにかく最高です。
最高です。
投稿されてからほぼ毎日聴いてるけどやべぇ遊さん以外聞けねえくっそぉ(悔しい)(嬉しい)
