[Rin , Len Append] "Karakuri Burst" english & romaji subbed [lyrics in description]

[sleepyschezo]

new main song on my mp3. The lyrics are boss

[grimangelkish]

SUGOII DESU !!!! KERO WA SAIKO DESU !!!

[047Moo]

Did anyone else notice that Len's Swastika band kept switching arms?

[moonsmusume]

Oh yeah! I think that was just when we got there, maybe. I do remember that. Yeah, I was the Luka and I was with the Rin append, a girl in a magenta(?) shirt, and a random blue-haired girl in purple jeans (my best friend...XD). I might upload the video my (magenta-shirted) friend took, except the quality isn't great.

[Espadaknight4]

...so catchy....*is singing along in the middle of computer class*

[HollisterCheetah]

Ok I got scared thinking it was the Nazi symbol, its the manji phew. . .

[moonsmusume]

I got to sing this at Karaoke at Ohayocon Friday night. It's surprising how many people don't know this song...I apparently rocked it though...^^

[NekomikoLove]

@moonsmusume goodness me, at what time D:

[moonsmusume]

@NekomikoLove Oh, god...I don't even remember. XD Um...probably...like 10:30-10:45...something like that, perhaps. If you happened to be there, I was cosplaying Magnet Luka...sort of.

[NekomikoLove]

@moonsmusume gah. I saw you, me thinks. But me and my friend left at like 10 that night x.x; The one who signed up for the lady gaga song was whom i was with.



[GlaceonOfHearts]

They are finally sent for each-other, and they clash. During this. Rin could have easily shot Len from a-far, but because she has been slowly going insane, and basically lives only killing others, she would try to gain as much 'fun' from it as she can. So she goes into his range- leaving both face-to-face, ready to kill the other at any second (3:59). Something causes a trigger (possibly the others eye) and they realize who the other is. And then the song ends, so we'll never know what happens~

[GlaceonOfHearts]

2/3 so he kept his blue eye, as it's a 'pure' color. Rin was raised to be a killer, so she kept her red eye- as red is seen as an 'evil' color.

Miku brought Rin up as what appears to be her slave, almost. Due to seeing no one but Miku, and spending her time killing, she is becoming insane. Len is raised by Kaito, Luka, and Meiko (2:34) to kill anyone who is wrong- Unpopular opinion time, but Len is raised as a Nazi, essentially. To kill anyone they think is unpure. (Need a 3rd comment. CONT)

[GlaceonOfHearts]

1/2: So, after pondering all day and viewing various translations, this is my conclusion. Just my thoughts, I could be wrong.

I think Rin and Len grew up together, but were separated while still fairly young. In the brief flashbacks, you cannot see their eyes- though you can see Len has lost his right (our left) eye, and Rin being carried off by two people- one who is Miku, the other I can't figure out. My guess is they each had one red and one blue eye. Len was raised as being "justice" (cont)

[xcalsmash]

oh god len is freaking hot in this on opo

[Sappholia]

They only have one eye each... Perhaps they both originally had a red eye and a blue eye. Since rin got the red eye, shes the evil one, and since Len got the blue eye, he kills for justice. Idk.. They could have both just gone insane from being separated and being surrounded in violence. Or whatever it says in the description

[roseannbutterfly914]

Love how they have opposite eyes covered, and odd.

[Lillypie19]

Once again Miku is the bad guy...

[eved1509]

Chase me to the end of the world and i will b the happiest human being on earth Len :(

[iamthegravityman]

The swastika in Egypt, India and Japan is a sign of peace, plus I think it's flipped or sumptin' idk. It would make sense since Len rabbles about destroying evil and crap.

[satsuki122]

@iamthegravityman

isnt this the nazis symbol????

[Ruririn02]

@satsuki122 No, they are using the Manji symbol which is a reverse spinning nazi sumbol. The Manji came first and means "peace" and "love".

[Dexter158]

what's with the swastika?

[Esupanitix]

@Dexter158 It's a Manji.

[satsuki122]

i dont understand what is happening!!!!!!!!!!

can someone explain???

TT_TT

[Darkspysrival]

You wanna cleanse the evil's, Len? Then shoot yourself in the head, white fascist.

Rin? Well you've gone insane soooo do the same.

-The Kagamines, upon encountering their evil Nazi counterparts.

[Ruririn02]

@Darkspysrival Nazi? This song has nothing to do with Nazis.

[rintan99]

love this  song

[oXEmilyCrawshawXo]

this song hasn't got enough credit, it needs more popularity xD

[deathglass]

Although, in the lyrics, "purges will be done" might be referring to the holocaust. (Not that Jewish people are evil or anything.)

[deathglass]

People need to understand that a swastika is not ultimately the symbol of the nazi party, and that hitler's party gave it negative connotations that are now normally associated with the sign.

[luchia712]

Im raping the REPLAY Button

[Lilytooth]

@luchia712 youtuberepeat (dot) com.

Also, "raping the replay button" is a completely awful phrase that fails to acknowledge how horrible rape is by making is sound normal and trivial. Please don't say such things.

[luchia712]

@Lilytooth

girl!! chill!!!! dont take it literally!!!!

[Lilytooth]

@luchia712 I wasn't taking it literally. I knew what you meant. But using the word "rape" in a context where you mean something normal and acceptable normalizes the idea of rape and helps people think that it isn't as bad as it is. Rape is a serious and awful thing. It's not a word you want to throw around without reason. You could easily bring back bad memories to someone and make them hurt unnecessarily. Don't do things you know could hurt people. That's all I'm trying to say.

[YukiOokami16]

May i modify the english lyrics to make it more in... tune(?) with the song? i only want to make minor changes. ill give credit!

[blacksaingrain]

@YukiOokami16 Please feel free to use my translations :)

But if you would like to modify for singing and change the meanings, will you introduce they're fandubs?

[davidbradyantony]

hard rock + vocaloid + rin and len = yay:)

[CountessD]

Hmmm, my take on this is no different than the other's but still...twins are separated. Rin tries to prevent it but is too weak, hence she's discarded junk, a broken doll. Yrs later she's now with Miku who has her be an assassin antagonizing the military force where Len is. He remembers Rin, but since she's so deranged now, and trigger happy she's a threat. He on the other hand is not much different, only that he disguises his addiction to killing as justice.

[CountessD]

@CountessD In the end something clicks inside Rin. Her answer to why she's kept alive? or maybe they both rediscover what they once had? Either way it seems that -hopefully- the story may not end in tragedy....and they both look friggin' hot xB

[oXEmilyCrawshawXo]

@CountessD my take is pretty similar to yours ;D although i'm pretty sure the one that got left behind was len because look at where the blood is on his face, it's on the side where len's eyepatch in the future is and also the hair looks tied up xD

[tofutau]

Why does the soldier have a sword and the samurai have a gun? :U

[Neowitch]

btw. Apart from the swastika I find Len's outfit really nifty.

[Neowitch]

REPLAY!!! This is awesome!

[TetoKasaneChimera]

Okaaay... So.... The two different swastikas: The left-handed and the right-handed. It just so happened that Len has the right-handed swawstika which is the symbol of the nazis.... WHY LEN???!!!!!!

[FruitRandom]

I wonder if the artist of the video confused which way the Manji was meant to be pointing, cause you see it in both orientations (see 1:50 for the right direction), though largely in the WRONG way. Perhaps the frames were horizontally inverted? like so many reposts of most youtube videos.

[Lilytooth]

@FruitRandom No, I think they knew, considering this picture (zerochan dot net slash 413748) ,which was posted on pixiv by the artist, has it consistently the other way. And it has the title in there with the Manji. I'm assuming Len is actually supposed to be a Nazi despite everyone arguing that he isn't.

[risuthesquirrel]

Rin: Why do you keep me alive?

Len: You really wanna know?

Rin: *nods*

Len: Rin... I am your brother!

Rin: ...No... no! That's not true! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

[Neowitch]

@risuthesquirrel Nah, Rin's last line should be: *raises brow* Wow... I totally wouldn't have guessed, Captain Obvious. I mean, it's not that we look alike or anything.

[wingfire94]

proof of it's awesomeness: no dislikes!!! :DD

[CookyCocoPuff]

for Romantic Night - by Kagamine Rin and Len with english subs

go to my youtube channel!

[CookyCocoPuff]

I think it get the story now! Rin and Len were twins. Miku apparently wanted Rin for her evil purpose, but Len wouldn't let her. So Miku must of stabbed Len in his eye, which is why he is wearing the eyepatch. Len is good. Rin is evil. Rin questions Len why he won't kill her. He won't because she's his twin, which is what she realized in the end. That's what I think. Don't believe me!

[ShiroMeidoMisaki]

I like that the more conventional army uniform is worn by Len, yet he uses a katana, and Rin is wearing some kind of kimono-looking thingie yet she's using a gun~

Also, this makes me fangirl :3

Thanks for the upload~

[animelover6195]

Rin and Len separated as children... Doesn't that sound a lot like the Evil series??? Except this time both of them turn evil instead of just Rin???

[Geassrunner123]

Len is not a Nazi, okay? He's part of a Japanese Secret Police. It may be a rank insignia, design, or whatever as long as it doesn't say he's a Nazi. I like his outfit though.

[JadisProductions]

@123loveandhate321 I'm pretty sure that the story is Rin and Len were separated as children and ended up fighting each other to the death on opposite sides of some kind of war/rivalry.

[123loveandhate321]

Ah I sound a complete idiot but would someone care to explain the story line to this song?

[eevee1156]

Oh wow.. the Append is so smooth. At least, smoother than the original versions of Rin and Len

[halovir]

OMG THANKYOU I LOVE YOU! <3

been looking for subs like this one since the song first came out ;)

[ChoCoLatte1205]

What's append?

[apusama]

@ChoCoLatte1205 updated software for vocaloids. basically new recordings of the voice actors to make the voices more realistic.

[Totalidiocy]

@apusama That's not what an append is. What you're describing is an act (updated voicebank). An append is an additional voicebank of the same character, but recorded with a different tone/emotion thing (like soft, warm, serious, light, etc.) to extend the range of songs that character can sing.

[apusama]

@Totalidiocy whoops, sorry about that.

turns out i had serious research to do. xD

it's just that the appends seemed to have better quality than the originals.

[pikachu0angel]

@ChoCoLatte1205 ggrks

[ChoCoLatte1205]

@pikachu0angel I found out, long ago.

[snoopywoopydoopy]

@552animelover kay.. O_O

[gubongee2]

this song needs a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

[TheMidgetM]

Gan-chan? Is that you? *shot*

Yatterman references aside, that was a very impressive song. I'm not a huge fan of Len - I don't mind him though - but I have to say he looked incredible in this PV. :3 I don't see a HUGE difference in the Kagamine Appends, it's a more subtle one for me. Eh, but I'm nearly deaf so... xD

[Garucca]

To me, it seems to be somehow like Miku was able to control? Rin and have her destroy and kill things. Len on the other hand, is out to stop her. They fight, and remember theyr'e past when everything was peaceful as happy siblings.

Rin breaks out of her spell (?) when she remembers, but Miku orders her to kill Len and they each take out eachother at the same time. Something like that is what I got anyways. XD

[Seorasahn]

Goodness. I just found this song and fell in love with it and you post the translation? Amazing luck for me, it seems.

They sound fantastic in this. I'm really impressed with the Appends and how clear their vocals are. That, together with lyrics that are purposeful and yet teasingly vague, makes for a great song to me. Nice energy, nice concept. I'm hooked.

[halla4763]

this song reminds me alot of warhammer 40000k universe. "purge the tyranids".

[R3K0D4]

I'm not too big on the twins outside of more techno-y songs, but I gotta say, this one blew my mind. The lyrics - the imagery, the stories they tell, and even the art, too. I'm absolutely enthralled and absorbed in this. It's beautiful!

[Lilytooth]

I love this song. I've been having a hard time fully understanding Rin's part, but it's interesting analyze. I'm glad I've found a third translation for it. Len's seems to be talking about the concept of how being able to dehumanize people enough to slaughter so many makes you empty and less human as part of it. It's so addicting. I was going to put art for it as my desktop (love the artist), but I didn't want people to accuse me of being a Nazi.

[R3K0D4]

@Lilytooth You could always edit out the swastica on the arm band. I know it'll make the picture lose some of the meaning if you do, but... at least you'll secretly know it was always there, right? Just a thought.

[FallenAngelVampire1]

@Lilytooth the symbol actually has something to do with buddhism i think cause the nazi one goes the other way

[Lilytooth]

@FallenAngelVampire1 In the video Len wears both. (it changes, in some parts it's one way, in other parts it's the other.) In the title it is the Buddhist symbol. And Len's uniform looks vaguely like a Nazi uniform. Anyways, people are going to jump on every swastika they see because the symbol is so strongly associated with Nazism. Particularly if it's within a red-black-white color scheme.

[SnowyRena]

@Lilytooth that mark in Len's armband is not a nazi mark, it's some asian mark for luck or something, they just look very similar. Nazi's have solen and ruined the marks meaning :((

[Lilytooth]

@SnowyRena This conversation is being brought back? It goes both ways. The one in the title is the manji, the one on Len's arm changes. Either way, it's obvious what people will think when they see it. End of story.

[SnowyRena]

@Lilytooth All right :D But can't you say that to people who accuse you being a nazi?

[vocaloidcrazy17]

len kaito look awesome in that outfit..just saying

[KawaiiChibi101]

LUV IT<3 but why is Len nazi? LMAO anyways they both Look older and RIN IS SO PRETTY and Len IS JUST PLAIN AWESOME

[Redxyuuki]

this nice song but what are they fighting for? can someone explain that to me? it's really nice

[blacksaingrain]

@Redxyuuki I put the author's comment in the description

[YinCCA101]

that was so amazing, Rin and Len sound great here...

[pikapoo90]

@bunnyhinata ... ka-kawaii? how this song's KAWAII xD!!! just asking x9

[bunnyhinata12]

this is so kawaii~!

[YinCCA101]

@sushlet say what? O.O

[meyuuu]

LEN.... ;o; SO... so... so... Amazing..

[snoopywoopydoopy]

@552animelover where is this kawaii?

[JATES1997]

Reminds me of Sin City. Except for the Ex-Nazi anti-hero, and the fact there is only one murderous hooker in this one.

[Jadeallheart88]

I LOVEEE this song. Len and Rins voices sound so COOL! XD

[xXNightXMoonXx]

Rin and Len's voices sound so good in this video :3

[cqallenwalker]

Most certainly a interesting song. This song has many different layers of morality in it that most certainly makes one think. (Len is trying to destroy evil, but his clothes and armband has connotations of the nazis despite the more peaceful original meaning of the symbol for example) Definitely a unique song. Unique, but controversial. Good translation. (Also, sorry for my long posts >3>)

[blacksaingrain]

@cqallenwalker Thanks you for your comment :D

Yes, it's really meaningful and thought-provking

[msdp]

Finally I know what this song is about =D!!!!

Thanks again for subbing x3!!!
