Hatsune Miku - Once Upon A Me (むかしむかしのきょうのぼく)

And I've lived happily ever after.

Before anyone asks about the title, it's literally "Long, Long Ago Today's Me," or more sensibly, "Me As I Was Many Years Ago Today." (Both of which are pretty ugly titles.) But "long, long ago" in Japanese is typically used to start stories the same way as "once upon a time." And when you use that, the "today" just doesn't fit in.

I'll be honest, going through the PV frame-by-frame was my only reason for subtitling this*. But the subtitles turned out good anyway!
* This statement does not feature me being honest.

This is apparently the theme song for the Miku 4koma on mikumix.com. It's also the last song on Deco's upcoming album, Love-Lost Elegy, and... well, you'll probably hear more about that on December 1st. Wink wink.

The Vocaloid "company" is called "Kuri-Futon": literally "Chestnut Futon," but very close to "Crypton." The signs at the start of each verse just say "Welcome, Miku!" "Welcome, Rin and Len!" "Welcome, Luka!" ...Wait, what's Luka swinging around there?!

1:33 As you can see, Deco (in the middle) is always hard at work. ...Except when he's squeezing Koniina phone straps.
