After watching the anime I got hooked on this song. I know its sad but I love listening to it and it always makes me think of my life. How I can make it better and move forward.
i got hooked when i watched this anime....then i heard the manga had a better ending.. so...i read it .......the manga is way better than the anime....and the light novel is way better than the manga...*thumbs up*
Thanks for posting this. I always had a hard time finding this song. I just listened to it after forgetting it for 2+ years. I literally cried because this song reminded me of the time i used to spend watching this anime with my brother (it was one of our favorites of all time). I havent seen him in over a year because he joined the military and got sent off to Louisiana. The nostalgia and emotion of this song brought me to tears...
if you are looking for a mp3 version of this amazing song i've put it on megaupload, it's the best one i could find (quality wise). megaupload (.) com/?d=Z8Z35OD4
I opened the link to this video from a thread about "lonely" music, and left it there open without looking at what it was, not really paying attention. Then I realized it sounded pretty fucking familiar and then I looked at it and was like: "Ohhh, it's from NHK! Sweet!"
its not a choice realy, its not about not liking peopl its about a daily struggle between thoughts of being a complete failure and having to deal with society. its more like asbergers syndrom..i know thats not spelled right. anyways its a social/mental disorder of the children of middle class society. i promise its not about hating people or not having motivation. ive done a few amazing thing, but im a failure
and im exactly like the main character(minus the halucinations i hate it, i dont know what 2 do on a daily basis freaking out every day, the only way to deal with it is to not think at all and to just breathe live. its not living at all but im alive i want 2 die but im 2 much of a coward everything about us is contradictory god i hate it. this anime was amazing bc its nice to know im not alone.im 24 and a clean freak hi
@curls010 I feel exactly the same way you're feeling right now. everyday i just feel what's the point of all this, and in the end, i'll just spend the whole day doing nothing and not talking to anyone, and honestly i do too want to die but i too am a coward. It's been so long that this happened to me that i literally have trouble talking to people on a daily basis. But yeah even so, i try to make my life better, but even then i still feel isolated from this world.
@curls010 I feel a bit better knowing others have similar problems and hopefully everyone who have similar problems as you and I will get pass their problems and have a better life afterward. But still, it does seem like it would never change, and maybe it never will, but still better to fight this conspiracy than to accept it right?
@vertextin haha yes my stubborness is what keeps me going. im running up hill through the mud but im still running i suppose. i stil hope someone will come along that ill crawl out of the mud for. at this point the only reason i havent fallin all the way into the mud is bc of family.
people go on, they develop, experience "great" things, they find love and joy and interests and goals, its just those moments when you realize youre just observating these people from the outside while you yourself know that youre not part of this, its those moments when you listen to this,
Pretty sure I will end up as a Hikikomori one day. I'm not good at being social, and I really hate school and work. I also prefer my own company and don't go out often. Bah.. life is so hard when you don't have the motivation.
@enest94 I know that feel bro... No motivation to finish college, no real interests besides manga/anime/games, people around me are either boring or annoying, I wish I didn't have to interact with them
@TheNewLooter Exactly. Life is such a hassle.. I totally see what you mean. I'm only social with my friends at school because I have to, but as soon as I get home I try to avoid them much as possible. Being social is so exhausting. Yeah, dropping out of school and just take life at my own slow pace would be a dream, but I guess my family will get mad at me then..
i'm looking and reading some of these comments being like this is not something to be proud of i can't even believe some people would even say they that but anyway....this is a really depressing thing to be and i'm hearing shit like "why dont you make group on facebook" are all you fucking people retarted ...most people who are like this really wish they could come out of this set mood.
One respect for all hikikomori on around world .!
I was Hikikomori but in some moments hard I remember that solitude was comforting me ... maybe one day I come by choice to be a Hiki. : D save all who are currently hiki Connected
part way through watching this anime, i really just wanted to go outside and do something...the main character showed me all the dark places people can go if they shut in too hard, like being addicted to porn games, or online game relationships, or getting caught in pyramid schemes and all sorts of stuff.
Listening to this song only makes me craving for a cigarette. Truly a salute to all that live their everyday lives as it is. Sometimes, the moments like this is the perfect time for us to take a deep breath and retrace our step. And start embarking towards a better tomorrow. Like what Satou done in NHK before.
Truly, this anime is much closer to us than we ever think.
@ranmapapaya you are a true inspirational hero.seriously,your comment came from the gods. Therefore, I'm gonna light a cigarette in your honor ! Indeed, at least a few of us may find themselves in the main character. Sadly I'm saying this in a sigh, life isn't easy and there's so much trouble ahead of us. I wish it would all pass away.
I'm in a similar situation as Satou (but only for 8 months and i'm gonna go to college in a few weeks) and i didn't find this anime depressing one bit. I actually wish I could continue to live like that, real life is overrated and my game/anime backlog is gigantic.
@anonymous133711 yeah real life is like an incredibly boring korean RPG without all the awesome stuff and most people playing it are incredibly stupid/boring. When I'm at home I can do so many things I can't do outside (killing monsters, slaughtering whole cities, exploring dungeons, being a little magical girl).
@manco82 I was always kind of a minimalist even as a kid so I have pretty nice savings enough to support myself for around 2 years or so. I also still live with my parents but I do chores like cleaning, cooking, fixing stuff and I never cause any problems so they're fine with that (though I kinda see that they are worried and want me to lead normal life).
What's so great about Welcome to the NHK along with many other recent "realistic-oriented" animes of the last 5 years is a deeper exploration of the human condition.
As a person with a social anxiety disorder I myself am in a long fight with the NHK and for all of you who are the too. Just be yourself, be honest, be calm and mellow, be clear of all obsessive thoughts, those worries against every decision you must take. Walk forward with a smile on your face and then you can see a brighter tommorow.
@OmankoMitaiYo I will definately believe my japanese friend over you as he is japanese who got his MA in the UK then went back to japan. Very compitent in both languages. Aren't you german anyways?
After relapsing into satou's way of thinking a few times, I think i finally found a solution. STOP THINKING. It's the source of your social anxiety. Really, I'm not joking. Overthinking every situation is the source of all of our pain. Atleast it was for me. Just try it out... for the sake of your mental well being.
can any1 else recommend me musics like this? I LOVE THE AWESOME ATMOSPHERE IN THE NHK ANIME. i have been looking for songs/musics that makes me reflect on my life whenever i listen to it. thx!
Everyone, this anime is fucking HAPPY. No one dies, he turns his life around and gets a girl, the only sad end is the friend. And even his isn't too bad. Want a sad anime? Go for Genshiken. THAT is real depression. Starting with happiness, and realizing life sucks in the end.
I wish I could live the life of a hikkikomori. I'll be away from the world. I'll be in solitude and to myself. No contact with family or friends. I'll be all alone and to myself without having to worry about my future and the bullshit of people. Loneliness, solitude, living an introverted lifestyle...is what I need.
@mmluv134 Trust me, you don't. Right now I'm still in middle school but I know that if I don't try and do something I'll become one too (I have a cause for that and I don't want it). At some point you'll be sick of your isolation and when you want to be with others again, you're too late. Sometimes it's nice to just be gone from the others for a while, sure, but forever? No. Think about it again, you really will regret it.
@Suspi13 exactly, Im 21, n I feel so cut out from the world , I wish i can bring my life on track , even suicide makes no sense, who will care if I die ? Its stupid , just one way ahead , I hope i can cut out of this loniliness and be myself , I just want to change myself and my life
@djay00009 There's lots of things that suck in life, but becoming/being a hiki is one of the worst things.. I'd really like to help you in any way but there's no way I, or anyone for that matter, can. :/
@Suspi13 i am really sure if i am one , I dropped an year in college , and now I gotta do an open schoolng directly under the university, but I still can get into the university , but I really don't have many friends nor am i so socially linked with the world, but if I try ,I can i think , Its just very hard to try and change oneself , all these things that I feel in the mind and all the loneliness , Its get really sad sometimes, I hope I can get more friends later , I got 2 friends,dats it XD
From the very first episode when I first heard this song I absolutely fell in love with it. And this anime..... By far my favorite, due to the fact I can relate to it almost completely...
i love this song, reminds me of my time in totally lonelyness and depression, even if i watched the anime later. im still a bit sociophobic, this will never get away, but surely it wont get away by itself ....
This is the original uploader speaking; glad you've all enjoyed the song and I'm even more glad to see others like me flocking to it.
As a six-year hikikomori, I truly hope that you all can find help. Do not let it get to the level that I have gotten to. Even so, I still have hope and I still struggle every day to break out of this. If I can still try after everything that's happened, so can you. To hell with being a hikikomori, be who you really are!
Y'know what's messed up? I actually thought I met my Misaki.....turned out to be another god damned illusion. You really do have to set out to save yourself, I suppose. No one can rescue you when your greatest enemy is yourself. :(....Still, would love to meet all of you guys here who are victims of this global conspiracy and give you all great.big.fucking.hugs!
Just finished reading the novel.. It's actually the first book I've been attached to.. A quick google search should bring the pdf file of it up, the book itself is pretty expensive..
Such a sad song, fitting for a very depressing anime. I like the very obvious allusions to the fact that most hikkikomori have enablers who allow them to continue their indulgence their unwillingness to join the real world. Once all of Sato's enablers left him and he nearly starved to death, he was forced to wake up and realize how stupid he'd been, and finally support himself.
I really dislike how people keep saying "I wish I had a Misaki to rescue me :'(". The entire point of the anime was that Satou had to save himself - there wasn't anybody who could save him but himself.
The emotion in this song is simply staggering. Thankfully, the director was brilliant to use this is the center piece for all those major beats in the show. Using it sometimes for a somber celebration and other times it's used for a depressing realization, but it always fits perfectly.
I've read all these comments, and they've all said something good. And I guess I'll say something too:
N.H.K was a powerful, moving anime about a person like any of us, caught up in the weight of the world, feeling lonely and in pain, suffering against society's strain. Maybe we can find a nice girl/guy, maybe we can sort our lives out. But no one's gonna do it for us, and we can't give up. The future is ahead of us, so we gotta stand up and fight
Face it. Even if a Misaki knocked on our door, we'd probably be too socially awkward and nervous to do anything, and probably push her away until she gave up.
reality truly sucks, when the time comes I will drive to a cliff, lay down and watch the sky and think about the tough times I had, then take my guitar and play this song while watching the beautiful sunset, when the sun is gone I will walk to the edge of the cliff and take one final step, thinking about the good times I had while falling in the depths of hell.
@Agamerfr0zed I know the feeling man, I contemplated killing my self one day too. But after seeing Tatsuhiro standing on the cliff and wanting to kill him self, but people telling him that he still got lot to live for, I realized the same counts for me. I'm still young and have lots to live for. You are only 19, and I'm only 17, we are still young and dumb, we haven't even started life for real. Reality do indeed suck, but we have to make the best out of what we got, and suicide is not the best
@Agamerfr0zed Oh what, no way. What you said is almost exactly the same as the ending of the movie Harold and Maude. Apart from the whole "final step" thing.
@Scrinoverlord you ruined the comments , this song is about loneliness, probably the best lonely song there is for me , I like the depressive comments here kinda , it doesnt mean I have lost the will to live , nor am I a hikimorri
@Scrinoverlord you could have pity though , knowing they never decided to feel like that, its just a problem they need to over come and we all have problems, but some people have a stronger heart than others. Peace to everyone.
@Scrinoverlord So when people say they want to kill them selves, you just reply by saying "Fuck you!" or "your pathetic" ? You should look for a career in the suicide hotline, you would be great...
even i hope tat misaki-chan wud come nd save me (even though most ppl consider her imaginary).... coz m totally lost in loneliness nd isolation... so many ppl r there arnd me but the feeling of loneliness nd urge 4 self-imposed isolation drives me crazy.... @misaki- plzz knock knock knock 4 me.. m waiting....
@bobatcloud22 You're probably not being saved because of the way you talk. Oh well, with this being instrumental it's simply one of the best songs EVER created.
i also would like to say that if any fellow hikikomoris are watching and want any support for recovering, message me. ive been through the hardest parts of it including wanting and attempting to commit suicide. ill be willing to listen to whatever you want to say.
@boethiah12@enest94 what is the purpose of trying to live when ur not even happy .. ? even if u continue to live ,it will be a struggle full of hardships and pain .. there's no meaning in living..
The thing is with this anime; for first timers, it sort of influences them to exaggerate their loneliness. Unlike Sato; it is not too late for you. You don't need Misaki, she does not exist. If it was too late, you'd already be dead; hanging somewhere.
Are you really pathetic or do you just choose to be pathetic?
@Makotousaki something you said really hit me, "You don't need Misaki, she does not exist" thanks, because i read that i realize you are right and i have to stop waiting and do something! (ofcourse my case is not as severe as Satou's , but it still worried me)
@Makotousaki The thing is, the human mind is so very subjective that we perceive things like this show as an escape, a reason. Everyone is different, everyone is comes from a different background, every mind has it's own perception of the world. Just because you have a reason - does not mean that everyone does.

@mmluv134 Trust me, you don't. Right now I'm still in middle school but I know that if I don't try and do something I'll become one too (I have a cause for that and I don't want it). At some point you'll be sick of your isolation and when you want to be with others again, you're too late. Sometimes it's nice to just be gone from the others for a while, sure, but forever? No. Think about it again, you really will regret it.

oh I think welcome to the nhk is one of the best and certainly the deepest anime I have ever seen!
the message behind it is so... good!
when I see satou I think: oh I'm glad I'm not like that,
on the other hand I still haven't figured out what I wanna do in the future (education, job etc) and that kinda bugs me when I think about it XDXD

This is the original uploader speaking; glad you've all enjoyed the song and I'm even more glad to see others like me flocking to it.
As a six-year hikikomori, I truly hope that you all can find help. Do not let it get to the level that I have gotten to. Even so, I still have hope and I still struggle every day to break out of this. If I can still try after everything that's happened, so can you. To hell with being a hikikomori, be who you really are!

Such a sad song, fitting for a very depressing anime. I like the very obvious allusions to the fact that most hikkikomori have enablers who allow them to continue their indulgence their unwillingness to join the real world. Once all of Sato's enablers left him and he nearly starved to death, he was forced to wake up and realize how stupid he'd been, and finally support himself.

I really dislike how people keep saying "I wish I had a Misaki to rescue me :'(". The entire point of the anime was that Satou had to save himself - there wasn't anybody who could save him but himself.

The emotion in this song is simply staggering. Thankfully, the director was brilliant to use this is the center piece for all those major beats in the show. Using it sometimes for a somber celebration and other times it's used for a depressing realization, but it always fits perfectly.

I've read all these comments, and they've all said something good. And I guess I'll say something too:
N.H.K was a powerful, moving anime about a person like any of us, caught up in the weight of the world, feeling lonely and in pain, suffering against society's strain. Maybe we can find a nice girl/guy, maybe we can sort our lives out. But no one's gonna do it for us, and we can't give up. The future is ahead of us, so we gotta stand up and fight

Makes you wonder when did life went to shit eh?
Why we cant get ourselves a little bit of joy,why we have social traumas,anxiety and loneliness
Why we must search joy in fiction when there are so many people smiling outside
Sometimes it makes you wonder if she was right;we are part of a global conspiracy to isolate us
This series gave me hope in the past;day after day i try to solve my problems and find the Misaki in my life, though until now i have found dead ends
Until then: try harder

Face it. Even if a Misaki knocked on our door, we'd probably be too socially awkward and nervous to do anything, and probably push her away until she gave up.

reality truly sucks, when the time comes I will drive to a cliff, lay down and watch the sky and think about the tough times I had, then take my guitar and play this song while watching the beautiful sunset, when the sun is gone I will walk to the edge of the cliff and take one final step, thinking about the good times I had while falling in the depths of hell.
Agamerfr0zed 9 months ago 13
@Agamerfr0zed I know the feeling man, I contemplated killing my self one day too. But after seeing Tatsuhiro standing on the cliff and wanting to kill him self, but people telling him that he still got lot to live for, I realized the same counts for me. I'm still young and have lots to live for. You are only 19, and I'm only 17, we are still young and dumb, we haven't even started life for real. Reality do indeed suck, but we have to make the best out of what we got, and suicide is not the best

canon4747 8 months ago
The thing is with this anime; for first timers, it sort of influences them to exaggerate their loneliness. Unlike Sato; it is not too late for you. You don't need Misaki, she does not exist. If it was too late, you'd already be dead; hanging somewhere.
Are you really pathetic or do you just choose to be pathetic?

@Makotousaki something you said really hit me, "You don't need Misaki, she does not exist" thanks, because i read that i realize you are right and i have to stop waiting and do something! (ofcourse my case is not as severe as Satou's , but it still worried me)

@Makotousaki The thing is, the human mind is so very subjective that we perceive things like this show as an escape, a reason. Everyone is different, everyone is comes from a different background, every mind has it's own perception of the world. Just because you have a reason - does not mean that everyone does.
