Hatsune Miku - Phone to Phone (でんわにでんわ)

[xSRGDarknessx]

..the guy gives up, and "Hangs up". Then Miku feels sad and kills herself, because that was the only person she ever tried to connect with. She had no one else.

4.) Miku's on death row, although she's innocent. She gets a phone call. She hopes it's someone that can prove that she didn't do the crime. The person doesn't say anything. She keeps trying to get them to help her. They eventually hang up, then Miku's put to death, because they hung up the phone, without proving her innocence.

[xSRGDarknessx]

So many ways to interpret it!

1.) Miku's depressed, and think that no body cares about her. Some punk prank calls her, and says nothing, just listening to her squirm. He hangs up, then she ends it.

2.) Miku's love moved far away, and she can't talk to him. She can never get ahold of him. She gets sad, and doesn't feel like live is worth living without him.

3.) Miku loves someone, but can't make a personal connection with them. They're both trying to connect with each other, but eventually..

Isn't Lamaze the guy who made Po Pi Po?

[mattthepale]

I think you get the idea, so I'll leave the other lines to you. Toward the end of the song, the cell phone begins to die:

"I'm always waiting for that sound but I don't hear anything," the phone isn't able to get a signal anymore.

"The once-bright numbers begin to fade," the battery is beginning to die.

"I'm just trying to understand you with all my strength," the cell phone struggles to maintain a connection with a dying battery.

Odd interpretation, I know.

[mattthepale]

And now, for my interpretation: the song is from the perspective of a cell phone.

"I begin to tremble," the cell is ringing.

"All I want is your response, I'm so anxious," the cell is trying to connect.

"This line connecting us is my life," without a signal, the cell will not connect (or it could be a way of saying "connecting others is the only reason I exist")

"I'm heading toward the light Trying to reach the source Struggling to reach it," the cell is having some difficulty connecting

[mattthepale]

The world outside is strange

I've always been imprisoned

You caused this to end, because

My phone was disconnected

[mattthepale]

Hello? Can you hear me? I want to know where you are. All I want is to search for you But I can't get away from here. Hello? Can you hear me? I'm always waiting For that sound But I don't hear anything. The once-bright numbers begin to fade "This must be a curse..." This is painful... I'm getting tired. My fingertips get warm I'm just trying to understand you With all my strength Everything is getting blurry The world is fading It's all been... So painful

[mattthepale]

Holding the receiver, I begin to tremble I heard someone's voice Hello? Can you hear me? I'm here. All I want is your response I'm so anxious. Hello? Can you hear me? Since I'm all alone This line connecting us is my life. I'm heading toward the light Trying to reach the source Struggling to reach it. Embrace me Feel me Forgetting how far away you are, I stare Again and again, day after day We're interrupted And when we part I want to grab that hand But it's fleeting... A dream

[Laytons2ndApprentice]

For those who are confused, I'll offer my interpretation. I interpret it rather literally rather than as a metaphor.

Basically, she feels no purpose in her life except for talking to one person. She can't see them because they are far away so she can only talk to them over the phone. At the end, she dies as the phone disconnects and she loses the only thing she was living for.

[stratazing]

Hmmnn. I think it's either about a girl who died and was trying to contact her loved one/s through their phones, or about a long distance relationship that is ending (I reach out for you, but it's fleeting, a dream).

Though the ghost idea would probably fit better, I have felt this way before in my relationship.

[HinataChick38]

So, I have a few questions. 1) At the end, why did Miku have brown hair? 2) Did she actually DIE in the end? and 3) Don't you think that this song better fits Neru more than Miku?

[Delcatty99]

@HinataChick38 1) I have no idea, to be honest. 2) I think that's up to the listener. It's a pretty nice metaphor, i guess. 3) Hmm, yes, pretty much so~

[x3Hiro]

MEIKO gets all the tiny parts...

[DarkOne23456]

Wait waitwaitwaitwait... What happens at the end? I'm confused because it seems like she dies at the end of the second chorus, but then the rest of the lyrics confuse me and I don't even know.

[DarkOne23456]

If this song was instrumental, it would sound like it belonged it Touhou.

[BeatNeko3]

[rojachan]

Thank you! I'm glad someone else appreciates this song too.

[kittykat490]

Does anyone have romaji lyrics? That would be quite awesome :3

[diamondolphi]

I love how the subs match the text in the video.

[Poptartkiller24]

[kittykat490]

I don't know why, but this song scares the hell out of me.

[Twilight14Vampire]

awesome art and song :>

[zinpgh]

Such a lovely song ^(OO)^

[allhailstentor]

私 (Watashi)" is standard first person. Depending on its usage it can mean, "I," "me," "my," "to me," "for me," or many other things... It should be contrasted to other Japanese first person words such as 僕 (boku) and 俺 (ore).

[1BlueRozez1]

oh so watashi means "i'm" ^^ i've been wondering for a while

[zephyrspromise]

watashi means i XD

[1BlueRozez1]

ohz XD

[yoshimgs]

[Sylpheed91]

もしもし, 聞こえてますか?

以上

[mzgram]

I love you in the appreciative kinda way. Thank you for uploading these Nico Nico videos, especially francium and that Team Nekokan video that wasnt Megaman related and subbing them. You are the best (^_^)

[retrogamer500]

Only getting 24kb/s on that download link. Might be from the geographic distance because I am in the 'states at the moment.

I wish Youtube would allow me to upload videos larger than ten minutes, because I want to upload a 20 minute epic techno Pokemon medley that I found on Nico Nico Douga.

[hohoyeri]

Link please. ;D

[retrogamer500]

"Link please. ;D"

It's in the description.

[hohoyeri]

I meant the link for the epic techno Pokemon meledy. ;o

[rekcaHrepyH]

Yeah I want this Pokémon song too o.o

[PaladineSkyBlade]

upload in two parts, give a complete(not split into two) download link and/or a link to the smilevideo page on both videos? Not the best solution, but hey, it works and you'll have shared something :3

[CloudCereal553]

Nice video

They may not be nekokan but at least you have nice taste in japanese random music :D
