How the Madoka Magica fandom hasn't used this song to death is a mystery
guys I think she's stuck in a maze
必ず救われるわけじゃないその世界観が好き
Hanatan and Kikuo is a musical match made in heaven.
The animation isn't something I see everyday, that combined with Kikuo and Hanatan is just too great for me. ;-;
Just a theory but I think this song implies a purgatory. In lyrics, the maze have "Three-thousand entrance and Forty-nine exit". In buddhism, 3000world(三千世界) means "the whole world". And when someone dead, their soul stay 49 days and leave this life in (also) buddhism. 49 also reference "a pain of death(死苦)" in japan. So, the maze is something between life and death. Aand some lyrics represent girl's death(We can see a girl lying on the pool of blood too!) In this theory, this song is about a girl dead, go to maze (purgatory I guess) and searching for exit of this world. (I'm not good at english so if some words are strange, i'm very sorry about thatTT Also, this song is amazingly great! Thank you for write n sing this epic song kikuo and hanatan and thanks Otori san for made this vedio!!)
きくおさんは人生の様な救われることのない絶望を 歌にするのが上手過ぎる。
Has anyone realized that in most of Kikuos songs you can see jellyfishes? Or is that just me?
これカラオケで思いっきり歌うと気持ちいいんだよなぁ。
The fact that Hanatan voice keep getting deep through out the song it really resemble that the girl has been stuck there for a long time (Idk if hanatan voice is getting deep or higher)
迷宮 迷宮 迷宮 迷宮に迷い込んでいる 前に壁 横も壁 後ろも天も壁 床が抜け また歩く 上下に左右に朝昼晩 突然の 落とし穴 叫ぶ元気もなく 落ちてゆく いつまでも 地平の彼方へ一直線 のぼり くだりくだりくだり 下りつづきの 不思議な 地平は まるで生きてたときみたい 続いてゆく迷宮 苦しみましょう 行き止まりの悲しみ 底が抜ける驚き 息苦しさが 続いてゆく迷宮 苦しみましょう 次々立ちはだかる 無味無臭のコンクリートを とぼとぼよければ いつかはゴール また床が抜け 目が覚めた 息を切らしてる 夢を見た 灰色の 迷路をとぼとぼ曲がる夢 のぼり くだりくだりくだり 下りつづきの 不思議な現実 転がり落ちてゆく 待ち構える迷宮 苦しみましょう 3000個の入り口 49の出口が まわる世界で 待ち構える迷宮 苦しみましょう 転げすべるばかりで いつもどこか流されるまま なさけないけれど どこかがゴール 地平を転がり迷宮に 迷宮抜け落ちまた地平 やることなすこと ムダみたい そんな時は迷宮 探してみましょう 動けない世界より うつろに歩きまわる その方が好き 迷いたくて迷宮 探してみましょう うつろな苦しみだけ 静かな悲しみだけ それだけがいい 迷いたくて迷宮 探してみましょう 下り坂の痛みは こりてこりてもういやだから ゴールは わたしの ゴールは ゴールは まだここにはない ない 嗚呼 まだここにはない
It's interesting, it seems like this song was made for Hanatan's voice, the vocaloid version sounds off, but this one sounds fantastic.
the song reminds me of the feeling when you are trapped and alone in a bad situation, especially as a child, and use your imagination to escape from the real world. often times, children who have stressful home lives will develop a kind of maladaptive daydreaming, where they daydream to escape from their struggles in the world, and dissapearing into this world of "mazes". being in their head so often usually hinders their development especially socially. I believe this song is about someone who used imaginative worlds to cope and now realizes that they cannot escape their made-up worlds and that all they are and ever will be is fake. but whenever they try to interact with the real world they don't know how to behave regularly and are ostracized and bullied for their poor communication skills... probably not, though.
Hanatan has a very theatrical and dramatic delivery to her voice, which I think complements Kikuo's style so well.
要所要所で光よを感じさせる曲(くらげとか橋とか)だと思ったら高い塔にも似てる…きくおさんの曲がぜんぶつながっているように思えてきた。 本当の幸せのヒントを教えてくれているような気がして、今日もきくおをきくお。
たまに見て、寝起き微妙に体調とか気分が悪くなる閉塞感きっついタイプの夢まんま
みんなのうた感
I like how when Hanatan sings that she's out of breath she actually kinda sounds like she's really is out of breath
きくおさんの世界観も素敵だし はなたんさんの歌声の使い分け方も素敵で好きです…!🥰
