Bad Apple!! Shadow Play - English & Chinese Sub - Gumi - Touhou - sm8841091

[hatsunelover1]

i dont get wats happining can someone explain it to me plzz wats happining what does the song mean and what message is it trying to say

[darkridr25]

@hatsunelover1 I'll give you my interpretation. I could be off, but this is my take:

This song is about an adolescent going through very hard times. The story is the details about her (I assume female from the voice) angst as she realizes that life isn't as carefree as she was led to believe when she was a child. These words are the inner struggle she goes through as she tries to assimilate her new, adult reality.

[WhiteWolfx59]

Words cannot express how much I absolutely love this song and Gumi's cover~ x3 hehe It's just so awesome~

[shebahannahstuff]

epiiiiic!

[1wizgirl]

Wow i love the song and get me wrong but this is by far the best vocaloid video I've ever seen as of late.

[OkamiKoinu]

Awesome!!!! Thanks for lyrics!

[Mevcats]

1:48 your already white :D

[RozenMaiden941]

Awesome vid

[magpiedragon127]

Truthfully, I completely loathe this song. But the video itself to too beautiful to dislike. The animation is so clean and smooth. And it's a wonderful concept as well. That's the only reason I keep coming back to this video.

[SandyGamerGirl]

@magpiedragon127 Thank you for being honest, do you mute the sound?

[magpiedragon127]

@SandyGamerGirl Nah, it flows rather nicely with the song.

[SandyGamerGirl]

@magpiedragon127 YES, the video is too much to dislike. I cannot believe people dislike the video (I can understand if they dislike this song, my brother does)

[ladygagagerbilDBZfan]

Holy shi-

Gumi sounds so human here!

[ReeDyRoo2]

@Aunpaidintern same here

[hatsunelover1]

i dont get this song will someone PLZZZ explain it to me PLZ PLZ PLZ

[WhiteWolfx59]

@hatsunelover1 From what I understand of this song, the singer is pretty much COMEPLETELY depressed. o3o

[hatsunelover1]

@WhiteWolfx59 you sure can you ask

[Aunpaidintern]

I always avoided this song because I thought it was going to be stupid, but I was proven wrong. This is awesome!

[MrMudkipsz]

This vid nevar gets old

[123ameeba]

my, gumi is really humanlike.

[ryuukatamura]

Being "trilingual" in Chinese, English, and Japanese makes watching this video very hectic for me. DAMN YOU AUTOMATIC READING

[KaylaXMollyXD]

@ryuukatamura lol same with me (japanese english)

[warriorkittymaster]

Is...is it sad I can name most of these people?

[MrMudkipsz]

@warriorkittymaster I can too! IM NOT FOREVER ALONE

Except for the gardener of the heavens and what not- my mind decided to draw a blank on that

[TheEt1995]

GUMI SOUNDS SO REAL!! XD

[12vampireknightlover]

Wait. It didn't have any eng subs nor Japanese subs.

[12vampireknightlover]

I have this app that has the shadow play, basically everything that you have in this video. But there's an option where I get to choose the background instead of having it white. But I still can have the background white.

[willycat1997]

that belw my mind it was that amazing got TO TTELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT KNOW

[1000yearsolder]

what anime is it based on?

[Aeromusique]

@1000yearsolder Not an anime, but a series of scrolling shooters called Touhou Project. I suggest checking touhou wiki for more info. :D

[topazvulpix113]

Y is there no love button?

Seriously!

I love this!

[myuu22]

i watched the shadow art animation for this song for the first time last week. but this is the first time i've heard Gumi sing it and i'm amazed by how closely Gumi's voice resembles the original singer's! whomever made this cover has my props.

[cjtaba1]

Hey. It's my screensaver!

[KAZUTUBE1001]

Is this GUMI song?

[punkrose1225]

@KAZUTUBE1001 well, this is a cover by gumi

[LegendaryTeamful]

1:51 OMG TRUMPET

[avaflava1]

@LegendaryTeamful Which I Play :D

[TheRetardedVocaloids]

Ranka lee is now stalking touhou D:

[pokebrickmaniac649]

Awesome song

[MyPolymerHeart]

HOW COME I'M NOT JAPANESE??????????? ;(

[ladygagagerbilDBZfan]

@MyPolymerHeart Don't say that, It makes you sound like a weeaboo.

[MRSemilytheawesome]

00:20 AND THUS WAS THE APPLE LOGO CREATED!

[Lovelife090994]

I tried to animate something like this it came out well but took a while

[cousinsfromhell]

@Lovelife090994 can i see it? sorry i just like animations of bad apple >u<

[Lovelife090994]

@cousinsfromhell sure

[Samanthak76543]

I -hate- it when people think this is completely a Vocaloid cover of a remix of an old Touhou song.

[moonsmusume]

Ha ha...that awkward moment you go looking for your post and don't realize it's a top comment. XD I'm finally gonna see my friend who's doing the dance with me in the next couple days (we live approx. 200 miles apart). <3 She's been learning it from another of her friends.

[whyareyouyelling]

....touhou meets vocaloid......omg.

[NekoNeko104]

i got a question,when using the vsq are you suppose to use gumi's1,2,and 3 bad apple?i've been meaning to make someone sing with this vsq but it doesn't fit the instrumental

[Pyppyi]

Is this from a speciall anime or is it just a song? (yes i know GUMI is a vocaloid)

What anime in that case? :3

[ShiroiMana]

@Pyppyi

This is the Gumi version of the song Bad Apple.Bad Apple is a song from a game, Touhou.

Sorry for my bad english, I am sleepy~~.

[NekoNeko104]

phew,finally i found this.took me a few hours to find this one now i can finally use a proper vsq,thank you so much!

[mikeru98]

the lady who originaly sang this was the voice for gumi right?

[punkrose1225]

@mikeru98 no, i don't know who sings this but it wasn't gumi's voice provider

[mikeru98]

@punkrose1225 oh. okay. i wasnt sure.

[MissWierdo13]

Wow I dont even really like Gumi but she sounds so cool with this song!!!

[TheBigAnimeMixer]

who's singing it? Is it Vocaloid or that...other group ( I can't rember their name )

[DeborahNg24]

@TheBigAnimeMixer it's not an anime.It's a software series

[TheBigAnimeMixer]

@DeborahNg24 what? :3 I know that it's not an anime..?

[Aelita3575]

Some one should do a music video with Celty to this song.

[munozvanessa32]

@Aelita3575 celty from durarara?

[395kikyo]

[taikwonderful]

[borielikesdropjes]

[MrKuroneko20]

[Okamiden42]

I freakin LOVE this its mah fav thing on youtube

[mainzer45]

the animation done in this is really smooth

[nkhatib98]

@mainzer45 Ya don't say..

[MrB3lfers]

@mainzer45 yes ikr?

[PerpetualDreams13]

Gumi's cover of this song sounds really similar to the original singer!

[moonsmusume]

This is the first version of Bad Apple!! I ever heard. I heard it for the first time...two years ago? Sounds about right. I nearly have it memorized (in Japanese, of course), and I'm in the process of learning the dance. XD And I still barely know anything about Touhou. (Which makes me sort of sad...)

[sonamy3]

@moonsmusume Me too, except I'm too lazy to learn the dance and I heard this just this year and have fully memorized it (I'm a fast learner x3)

[ravenelk190]

wow....... this song is deep...

[akatzukifreak13]

that is for me the best song of Vocaloid x333

[0Evee0]

This is so familiar, i've heard it before just cant remember where D: I love it though!

[mikuxxlova]

I love the animation!

[iheartmanga123]

this is crona's song

[0Ann]

This isn't gumi right? it's nomico.. which isnt really a vocaloid :)

[xXAFIxrlzx]

@0Ann the song is originally sung by nomico, this version is actually sung by GUMI. (:

As in she's providing vocals in this video.

[KaimanaHaru0]

>Never looking at shadows the same way again

[MiMiLaXMiMi]

adds?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADS!!!!? DX

[Gardiken]

Those are Japanese characters NOT Chinese!!!

[whiteserenity]

@Gardiken There are Chinese characters on the bottom, above the English subtitles. Notice the difference from the top, where there are less strokes in each character. ^^ 

[my18yearoldaccount]

@Gardiken Ones above the English aren't

[minneyleeble]

@Gardiken yhe bottom green ones are chinese = =''

[ButterflyPrincessMo]

The first time i heard this song...I couldnt tell that the singer was a vocaloid ^^;;

[xXCarolineKawaiiXx]

so confusing



[ironmadienfirefly]

like this it's something different

[SabbyNippahx3]

@Tilly1507 Your mind is screwing with you xD

[blazikenify]

@Tilly1507 Because only the great shadows get ANOTHER shadow. =P <-- Is a Shadow fanatic. (Not human shadows but complicated.)

[thesupperkittylover]

luv it!!!!

[darktower011]

Is she supposed to be actual people or anime characters or something? Or did they just want to dress her up in cool outfits?

[Kuriinn]

@darktower011 This is a cover of a Touhou-related song. The video is characters from the video game Touhou

[MellosChocolateX3]

@darktower011 The people are from Touhou...

[ForbiddenXDevil]

Just .... Love that !

[ZuillianWillian]

@Tilly1507 SHADOWCEPTION!!!

[ClInIcAlLyInSaNeChIc]

@Tilly1507 maybe those are the real people! XP

[Mweormwitten]

Yay for romaji subs! Once again lordxwillie proves to save the day XD

[1998PikachuGirl]

i wonder why they call it bad apple o.o

[madcheshirecat54]

@1998PikachuGirl because gumi says so.

[Espadaknight4]

@1998PikachuGirl The full version. This isn't the full version. In the full, one line was "If I had to describe myself, it would be good for nothing." Good for Nothing=Bad Apple. Indirect link, but it makes sense.

[PrincessOfXing]

I love Flandre's evil grin at 0:55 ^^

[Nicole97okami]

My new favorite song *_*

[nkhatib98]

I know i'm going to get spammed for this, but what's Touhou?

[sweet9angel4lena]

@nkhatib98 It's a game with like a HUGE selection of characters

[nkhatib98]

@sweet9angel4lena Okay, but is it, like, the Japanese version of World of Warcraft?

[sweet9angel4lena]

@nkhatib98 Nope

[Nightblade14]

@nkhatib98 IT's not an MMORPG. Just a "simple" SHMUP.

Maybe this youtube video can explain better.

h**p://w*w.youtube.com/watch?v­=utGmwWVq-ck

Sorry cannot post link but you know what to do

[HatoburekaSutajio]

I'm not into Touhou at all. The game seems very unappealing, the characters seem very unappealing, and the shockingly obsessive fandom seems very unappealing.

However, I feel that this is a fairly impressive video. The CG, although noticeably unrealistic is done interestingly and the music is engaging.

[Vincekun]

well....that was beautiful

[miyajigirl]

1:45~1:48 it kinda looks like Luka's shadow.

[YoGabbaGabba1100]

This is my favorite song by Gumi! I love Gumi!<3 :DD

[hipeoples434]

1:36 *jibun.

lol typo. :3

[neurogirl12]

do u know how hard it is to actually look at the lyrics? XD

[jynraven513]

@neurogirl12 not really....im singing it now [isnt even that good at speaking Japanese]

[ZafiraAlmeria]

touhou? Interesting!

[NekoAirMaster]

Can't..stop..listening!!

[Xhendraful]

Someone made this on flipnote too 0.o Pretty goddamn hard to do..

[CzarinaCrysanthemum]

New! Favorite! Song!

[Pactagon]

om nom nom

[KrazyAnimeGrrrl]

@Pactagon What does that have to do with Touhou? XD

[Pactagon]

@KrazyAnimeGrrrl the apple.

[KrazyAnimeGrrrl]

@Pactagon Lol. I see now.

[yaya284]

This makes me wanna eat an apple. And then I realize I hate apples oAo What the hell?!

[animekirby100]

Intro to all you new to Touhou: Touhou is a vertical-scrolling shooting game. The bullets are specifically called "danmaku". Described as bullet hell AKA trying to dodge the rain, especially on hard and lunatic mode. Sold Japan-only, unless you somehow hack something. I've been told the only way you get it in America is illegally...Most of the characters are girls. creator is ZUN. This video is a doujin work.

[WeeabooRPer]

@animekirby100 Then can't you get it on Ebay? o.o

[animekirby100]

@WeeabooRPer As far as I know, not legally. You can ask some other people and see. Or you can try to find it on Ebay yourself.

[ScarletDevilRage]

@WeeabooRPer It's ZUN's rule that there are no imports to the US, as far as i'm told.

You can either import them illegally from Ebay or download them. I think. Or have a friend from Japan send you one. If you have any friends in Japan.

[SelphinRose]

@animekirby100 ZUN, stating he's not making touhou for profit, has made the "illegally" part something of a title. He really doesn't mind.

[NarutoXTrickster]

@animekirby100 Don't forget Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku. The two figthing games :D

[mainzer45]

@animekirby100

Actually, its not illegal if its in english, and i have a link to a site which you can download it with an english patch from. problem is you need winrar archiver to extract it, but besides that, your good. PM me for the site because i apparently cant say it here

[mainzer45]

@mainzer45

nobody seems to want to play touhou

[GabbyVocaloidGirl44]

@mainzer45 Yeah... Ignoring little American me! OwO

[Zarastroika]

Что я нахожу удивительным этой песни является то, что песни говорят именно то, что шаг, что я чувствую сейчас в моей жизни· '-'

[taikwonderful]

I like this version better than tree

[Foffe123]

[loveakira4ever]

[TohruTwinkie]

@LovelyCosplayer Didn't you notice Flandre's shadow?? ;)

[Tyingful]

Why does this remind me of the Witch Trials? Ah, I love this song. It's fantastic.

[72urihA]

[Espadaknight4]

@72urihA Me too! :)

[RockeroNato]

[MegaAlma19]

tht grin makes me happy 4 some odd reason:)

[623giroro]

LUV THIS VIDEO!!!!!

[wolfgodess26]

I love how this person can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese.

[Espadaknight4]

@wolfgodess26 No, there are Chinese subtitles on it. They know the difference, but there are Chinese AND English subtitles on the video.

[OhMyGodProductions0]

@wolfgodess26 Funny 'cause their from hong kong.....Learn to look at the four subtitles conveniently placed at the top and bottom of the video, please.

[wolfgodess26]

@OhMyGodProductions0 wow did i seriously miss that......... ugh i fail at life... sorry!!

[chibigrunt]

I LOVE that smile at 0:54-0:55

[katifacation]

[Hanna1Karima]
