Hatsune Miku - "とおせんぼ(Standing in Your Way)" English subbed

[HirotoKun3000]

wowakas videos are alway like gray and white...

[NerushiMotsu21]

This song, according to wowaka, is about how Miku, or a boy ( since the song refers to 'boku' as 'I' ) does not want people to be troubled by his problems. 'Standing in your way' can also be 'this is off limits'. 'Hiding away' can be referred to 'play hide and seek'. In this case, he feels humiliated to show himself hence 'do not look at me'. Perhaps he's waiting for someone to actually comfort him, also it works with the beginning, 'I'm waiting for you'.

[LuciaMalpense]

@NerushiMotsu21 Well technically 'boku' is often used for girls in songs, just because 'boku' is two syllables and 'watashi'/'atashi' is three respectively...

[KouYamiAura]

@LuciaMalpense It's usually because "boku" is more gender-ambiguous than other "atashi/watashi," and fits in songs much more nicely. "Boku" can be used by girls, but it traditionally isn't, because it's more so used by girls who don't see themselves as truly feminine. However, it's very informal as well, even for boys.

Also, from what I've heard, wowaka seems to strive more for aesthetically-pleasing lyrics than lyrics with clear meaning, so "boku" sounds cleaner, having two syllables.

[theawesomemanful]

I found this song on a Flipnote!! (Japanese import) FINALLY! Ive always wanted to make a PV of this song!!

[aisutetei]

I can't seem to find any romaji subbed videos of toosenbo (standing in your way)...

[NekoSigma]

It's so tempting ot be the first dislike...but that would be rude.

0 people disliked this song, so no joke can be made =^_^=

[ArtVirus1]

@NekoSigma I see what you mean xD

[AkatsukiStalkerlol]

@NekoSigma 0 people aren't standing in your way.... XDDD I'm so stupid.

[cheesedorf]

i can tell why this has zero dislikes :D

[CandiedAppleSlices]

This has to be my favorite Wowaka song. Miku sounds beautiful in this and the music itself is really good. Its a shame this isn't as popular as the rest of Wowaka's works.

[VocaloidFTW]

wowaka is good for someone with little experience, but his songs usually (if not all) have a wierd or hard-to-understand meaning. i mean the beat is good in most of them, but he's not my favorite, just because of "Two-Faced Lovers", doesn't fit Miku at all hate how it make Miku seem older.

[Kyaksa]

@VocaloidFTW Dude... Miku is teen age and teenagers are pretty insane with everything when it comes to emotions and love.

[theanimegirl01]

@VocaloidFTW well i think their weird and hard-to-understand meanings are the reasons of why i love wowaka's songs so much =D but i understand what your saying about ura-omote lovers,to me miku is just to sweet for something like that XD

[TheChocoloco95]

@VocaloidFTW i agree with kyaksa! miku is 16 wowaka's songs match her perfectly this is the age where hormones are running wild. also the meanings of wowaka's songs are beautiful and trying to figure them out makes them that much more beautiful

[BLACKDOTSx]

Wow ok I fucking love you.

I love this album like crazy, and have been dying to know what's actually being said in these songs.

Toosenbo is my fucking favorite, too ;-;

[MapleKimchi]

YES, THANK YOU! I'VE BEEN DYING FOR SUBS~ :D <3

[KashiToraDeSu]

can hear bits of rolling girl inside =w=

[Kamberlyn]

... WHY ARE ALMOST ALL OF WOWAKA'S SONGS SO DEPRESSING.

[scaryhogmandog]

@Kamberlyn Almost all Vocaloid songs are depressing.

[VocaloidYorune]

@scaryhogmandog Almost? Well, depends on the producer. Akuno-P makes sad songs. Wowaka-P's music varies. Depends on the producer.

[scaryhogmandog]

@VocaloidYorune I agree. Well, either way, I think every Vocaloid song is emotional.

[VocaloidYorune]

@scaryhogmandog I do think most songs do have emotion, but Wan Wan Wo is catchy and has no meaning.

[speedemon892000]

@Kamberlyn Why do almost all of Wowaka's songs fit me? out of all the ones I've heard, only one interpretation of Two Faced Lovers doesn't fit

[kibuchan02]

i love wowaka. srsly the best vocaloid producer evar  <3

[papayabadger]

I'm thinking about making a pv for this... where can i get the lyrics so i can copy and paste?

[xMikuxMadx]

i liked this before i even watched it, i knew it'd be great since it's wowaka we're talking about here!!

[mistargrr]

I can so so SO picture this to be sung by a girl who has been sold by a loved one into prostitution for difficult but necessary reasons.

Why? ._.

[XxMadHatNinjaxX]

I think wowaka should release a CD. If they already have, can someone tell me plz? and is there an english fandub anywhere? i checked but couldn't find one..

[SakuraYue]

@XxMadHatNinjaxX Wowaka released 2 albums. The first one is'The monochrome disc' and the second one is 'World 0123456789'

[yoshibear1009]

@XxMadHatNinjaxX fan....dub... BLASPHEMY

[Yorunai]

@XxMadHatNinjaxX I'm pretty sure he's released a CD, I'm just not sure where you'd be able to get it. Sorry =//

[speedemon892000]

@XxMadHatNinjaxX Reza is voice training to hit the high notes as you speak. And he has released a couple of CDs

[ihavegun]

Yeah~!!!

What this song mind??

this song(Wowoka) had something to tell we.

[sopling]

thanks for your translation katagatar. as always, you do a pretty good job of bringing out the meanings of the composer as best as any good student of english could. in my opinion, i think wowaka is one of the best composers/producers out there, who (thankfully) uses hatsune miku to do his songs, which are all very unique i might add

This deserves more views.

[Airigh]

Awesome song!

I bet the off vocal of this would be freakin' cool.

[Karunarotsu]

I love how upbeat this song is. Miku's voice is tuned beautifully, too. Thanks for the sub!

[SakuraTheUmbreon]

@Karunarotsu lol upbeattttttttttt
