Damn animation is great, and the theme is important -

but this song is just not good. Vocals are poor.

I don't like it at all. It looks like these 14 yo kids romanticizing mental health issues and suicide. The symbolic is very very basic for suicide and over the top like her eyes crying literal waterfalls etc.

Normally I like to mix up dark stuff with cuteness, because it creates this uncanny feeling, BUT here it's about a real girl's suicide as far as I know and I don't like the execution too much.

But I still like the animation.

6/10
At first I wanted it much higher but eeh... that one is very impiously

The vocals are great, if Shinsei Kamattechan wasn't Noko singing with a filter on his voice and they brought in a proper J-pop girl singer it would ruin the appeal and atmosphere of their music entirely.

Really concerned about the reviews and this forum thread regarding this video; pretty sad to see we might never get over the whole stigmatization of "weebs" being NEETs with little to no knowledge about issues like these. I've seen more empathy regarding this topic in imageboards than here which is just mind boggling to me.

Uhm okay then ... ?
Not falling for cheap symbolism = having no empathy lol?

And btw I doubt they even asked some of her bereaved, if they are allowed to make a video about her story. Looks more like they took advantage of her story tbh.

There's not a lot of "cheap symbolism", in any case the song is pretty straightforward regarding the issue they want to tackle; not everything has to have some surreal hidden meaning, if they want to talk about suicide and depression I personally think it's much better for them to do so in a straightforward manner. I completely understand not liking the song for many other reasons, but this is just... lol

I used to not like Shinsei Kamattechan but I started I started liking his singing style and stuff like that, this song was really good. I really liked everything about it. It was based on the death of Ruru-chan. I liked everything about this song, it was a nice song.

8/10.

Shinsei Kamattechan is cool.

Poor vocals is the entire point.

I find it sad that people are missing the point of the voice. They say he sings badly but it’s a happy faked painful tone to match the lyrics. I assume people haven’t read the lyrics but the message certainly isn’t one note. People fake their mental state to keep people and especially family from worrying. Many days I find myself doing the same so that’s where I’m getting that insight from. 10/10

If you think the vocals are bad, that's the point. Many Shinsei Kamattechan songs are also like that.

Are you kidding me, the vocals are the best part
Like all Shinsei Kamattechan songs, the vocals and rhythm of the song are meant to be like that to provoke strong emotions and discomfort for the listener. It's a form of art transmitted through pain. It's probably labeled as noise music.
It's like the MAL dementia tag but for music lol

This one is more intense from the the same band

I expected a little more ngl. Maybe understanding Japanese would really help. Maybe I just didn't deep this probably. I might save this for another time. Who knows. It was an odd experience tho for sure.

Man, that was good.

Also, contrary to popular belief, I liked the vocals. That was being sung by a grown-ass man. Making that voice is hard asf. Respect the dude's dedication. Also, it's made so that it sounds as if Roro herself was the one singing, because, one of the final remaining archives of her live stream consists of her playing the piano and singing (in somewhat mediocre vocals)

The visuals were great!

RIP roro-chan

I come back to this not oftenly but every once in a while since its release. A very dark and sad yet beautifully emotional song about the infamous case involving this poor girl. What a tragedy dear God. I don't think much can really be said at this point but to help and support any person in need of help whenever it may be necessary. Excellent animation also must be praised here, it's wonderful.

I recently found out about the background of this song (with a two-hour YT video about roro and more (it's Polish video)). This song isn't just focused on roro (which was probably the most popular one), but on the phenomenon of suicidal livestreams. The colorful music video and cheerful melody is for me the perfect metaphor for what a cheerful life we show on the internet. It is sad that all these people did not receive help. Please, if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it.

I don't comment on stuff very often, but I feel like it's appropriate here. I can't give you're anything higher than a 1. Less than a 1, it's disgusting and depraved for a company, for human being to actually glorify and profit off of a child's suicide. People have said that it's a catch-all for suicidal streams, that it's not just about Roro-- yet it quite clearly was. Fat cats are profiting off of a song and illustrated telling of a child that was pushed to suicide from how depressed and desperate they were for attention. Tits is genuinely my most hated video on YouTube, and it baffles me that people try to defend it.

Maybe change it to just the link. The video is age restricted so the embed ain't working.
(even getting the link, YT wouldn't let me play it)

I like the works of Shinsei Kamattechan, they even reached AOT despite the lack of vocalities. That aspect of their songs is what makes them great. It's like they're doing it on purpose.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
