Pov: kikuo calls you a useless child for 4 mins and 21 secs .

Even in this song where the Mom clearly sucks and is treating the kid bad, hearing her sing that she's useless herself and that the child is gone makes me cry

I love how the text appears on the subtitles and the colors of it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="198">3:18</a> "that child is no longer here" and "nobody can save me anymore" is so sad

Parents : „why are u always on ur phone and never talk to us“ also my parents whenever I try to say something :

"study, exercise, speaking, you can't do anything" it hurts how relatable this is

"My child is completely fine!" Meanwhile the song their child relates to: Edit:OH MY HOLY RAZOR THE LIKES

小学生だった頃にこの曲を聞いた時は「いじめられているできない子と母親の曲で、切ないけど暖かい曲」だと思ってたけど、今では「子どもがいないと自分を守れない毒親の曲」だと思ってる。 親が子どもに何度も何度も「できない子」と言うのは結構ヤバいのになんで小学生の私はそんなことを思ったんだと感じた時、私の親も毒親であることを思い出した。

叱責→後悔→自己否定 この流れが悲惨だけどクセになる

My mom:My childhood was fine! Her childhood:

IT'S MY DEPRESSIVE EPISODE, AND I GET TO CHOOSE MY MUSIC.

Parents: Why won’t you talk to us with your problems? Also Parents:

スマホも持たせてもらってなかった頃に聞いて、コメ欄なんかみてなかったし考察なんかしてなかったから方向ミスった世話焼き系幼なじみの女の子の悲しい歌だと思ってて 今コメ欄見てそういう事だったんだ……て思ったし子育ての仕方間違えちゃった母親の後悔とか孤独とかの感情を改めて噛み締めることが出来ました、ありがとうございます

この曲ってシンプルに言ったら悪口メインの曲だと思うんだけど、曲調と歌詞のおかげで救われる気持ちになれる 聞いてて落ち着く

“Oh, my child is completely fine” Their child’s childhood:

i put this on my speaker while i cleaned up and my japanese roommate asked if i was okay...

ララララララララ……という スキャットの部分が全て 平仮名の｢う｣に見えて仕方なくて 通してみると『うううう』と呻き声をあげている描写にも取れました。 寂しい子、出来ない子…

Apparently KZfaq wants me to listen to this song so badly that it marked it as watched when I’ve never even tapped on this video before now

it’s scary the amount of people who relate to this was it just a universal thing to get abused by your parents?

Song: you are a useless, useless, useless child Me: 🕺🕺🕺

That child grew up quick

Hey if your reading this, just remember that this pain is temporary and will not last forever, and while your going through it your not alone we are all in this together doing the best we can, I'm proud of you for still being here fighting everyday, cus it's really not easy but you still strong enough to not give up, know that I care about you and I'm glad your here, your feelings are valid and I believe you'll get to a better place with time. I hope this helps, you don't have to accept my comment or like it but I just did it for the people who needs it. Remember to drink water get some rest and check on your loved ones❤️.

Parents: Why wont you just talk to us? Also my parents when I try to talk to them about something: Edit: My situation is definitely better now. To the all people sharing stories in the comments or just saying: "Same" or "Relatable", I just wanna say: Y'all stay strong out there. Life sucks and often sucks right from the beginning. The memories and pain will probably never go away, but it's completely alright. It does get better, in my case therapy helped (both for me AND for my mom, and my father is just meh, neutral). Also I can proudly say now that I'm fricking awesome now, and that I grew, and changed, and that's I'm an awesome person, AND I hope more of you can relate. This comment and most replies are now 1 year+ old, so I really-really hope at least some are doing better and even possibly escaped that situation (don't matter if by cutting off certain people or reconciling, everybody is different). And if not, PLEASE do as soon as possible. I do understand that most of the time the only solution is moving out and a lot of people out here can't do that, so I'm not gonna be a big smartie pants by saying: "Lol, if you are unhappy just move out/talk to them/stop doing that and this/etc.". Have a good time of day, remember to eat and drink water properly (unless you are fasting while reading this of course!), go ahead and take care of yourself, you deserve it! I'm proud of you :)

UHM CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THE LYRICS USED HIRAGANA WHEN HE WAS A CHILD BUT IT CHANGED TO KANJI AFTER HE GREW UP ????

嫌なこと言っても嫌なことしても、結局『私が守ってあげる』って気持ちは本物だし、エゴであれ、愛情の裏返しなんだよね。 子どもはその愛情に気付いてるからこそ長い間傷つきながらも母親の元から離れられない。 この子は離れられたみたいで良かったね。

Beat and melody: ❤❤🥰🦋🦋 Songwriting/lyrics: 🥺💀😢😨😭

therapist: gives therapy card: declines therapist:

A child should never have to question if their parent loves them. Period. Edit: to all of you who commented, saying things like "my parents never cared" or "my parents don't love me", I'm so sorry. You all are deserving of love and happiness, and I'm so incredibly sorry your parents couldn't provide the love and support they were supposed to. Im adopting all of you right now, and you all will be happy forever. I'll make sure of it.

最初はひらがなだったのに大きくなると漢字になっていくのいいな

my mom: why don't you talk to me. my mom when I forget to wash the dishes:

The best part of listening to these types of songs your parents will never understand them

Why does this remind me of kids when they say they're depressed and the parents start saying they have nice clothes or they have a roof over their head, or others have it worse so they have no excuse For anyone who wants like clarification: I mean the parents who do and say all this stuff, and then when you mention you're depressed they act like they never did one bad thing in their entire life to you.

理想絵図みたいな感じでなんか、 繰り返して聞いちゃう

きくおさんの歌ってなんも嫌な事考えずにぼーっと聴いてられる、死にたい訳では無いけどなんも考えたくないからこういう時間が1番好き

Theory: at the end, when mother (not the child) says "I'm a useless child" might suggest that she was treated like that in her childhood, and now made her own child leave because she treated him the same way. She feels useless again.

small theory: so we all get the point- this song is about a mom who emotionally abuses her child by saying that he is a useless child, and he is abused up to the point when he is grown up. The writing when he is a kid looks colorful and uses hiragana. But when he grows up, it's less colorful, more neat, and uses kanji. I'm thinking the kid used to write down all the things his mom said to him in a journal or a notebook of some sort, and continued to write them down up until he grows up. The two figures, which is the kid and the mom, I think was also drawn by the kid. Furthermore, the title of the song that shows up in the beginning seems kinda messy, which could mean that he titled this journal of his "You are a useless child". Then, when he disappears, (died, ran away, or something) the mom finds the notebook he's been writing everything in, and as she reads them, she realizes she was the useless and terrible person all along. She reads what the boy wrote as a kid, so the writing is back to hiragana and it's more colorful.

英語字幕に色が…ついてる…だと！？

何年も何年もこの曲きいてるずっとだいすき

Fun fact : As the child of the song grew up, the lyrics changed from Hiragana to Katakana to Kanji. Nice detail, Kikuo.

kikuo songs is literally the defenition of taking a pic with kissy lips and peace sign while having a breakdown

*A moment silence of people not knowing this song has been 11 years*

"11 years ago."

the ending where the mother sings to herself gets me every time. it shows that she was told these things when she was a child, and now history repeats itself. generational trauma

You know your life’s falling apart when you relate to a Kikou song.

Love coming back to this song ... just to remind me

私は毎日恥ずかしい思いをしているので、人生が嫌です。ただ desu とどこにも行かずに desu と気絶したいです。私は幼稚園から3年生までいじめられ続けたので、ただ desu にいたいです。

Listening to this song while reading people's stories feels like being in a large group hug with people that also understands your troubles and worries

I’m still able to play this around my parents since they don’t know Japanese, and this also taught me more Japanese. Kikuo = Education

Now I realize something, the child is getting mentally abused by his mother calling him a useless child. Then growing up to be a man who is depressed (I think?) and I don’t know if he wrote this or something, then he was found covered in wounds, I think he died, ran away, or just disappeared. Then she realized the damage she done to him and realized he is forever gone, she called herself a useless child and probably mourning I’ve his disappearance. Kids deserve parents, but parents don’t deserve children. Don’t abuse your children, you had an opportunity to become a better parent and you straight up ruined it by hurting them. Children aren’t allowed to be treated like this, don’t mentally abuse your child, don’t rape, don’t do any of that please. It’s horrible and disgusting. I hope all children, teens, etc, are okay. This song kinda describes me but my teacher.

Everyone: "Talking about their childhoods" Me: "HOW THE HECK DID THE ENGLISH SUBTITLES EVEN GET COLOURS, EVEN APPEARING LIKE THE JAPANESE (ON VID)?!"

こんなにも、たくさんの人が歌詞に共感してしまうのは悲しいな……

*"Vocaloid is for children"* Yes totally..

My family , my mother and my teacher say i am useless child entire inthe world . this song represent who fail to live up with their expectations.

I find odd comfort to this song.. (probably cuz i go through emotional abuse)

きくおさんの曲は元気な時に聞いたら不安になるけど、不安な時に聞いたら安心する

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="230">3:50</a>からの「ララララララ……」ってところが「うううううう」にしか見えんくて、なんか凄い苦しそうで胸がｷｭｯってなる……。

「私の顔が嫌い」君、まだ愛してる。 「家族が嫌い」君、まだ愛してる。 「泣きたいよ」君、まだ愛してる。 「友達がない」君、まだ愛してる。 「永遠に眠りたい」君、まだ愛してる。 いつも愛してるよ、それを忘れないでください。たとえ君が僕のことを知らなくても、僕がいつも愛しているよことだけは知っておいてください。

My brother whenever i say anything:

This hits different when actually feel like you are a useless child and you only matter when you accomplish something.

歌詞は寂しいけどメロディーが割と明るいから精神が不安定なときに聞いたらなんか安心する

もうおかしくなるくらいすごい好き❤️

この曲聴いてると落ち着く大好き

自分の子に過干渉な親の歌だと思っている。最終的に子供は自力で成長し、親の元から旅立つ。そして親が、子離れ「できない」、子供がいなくなって「寂しい」んだと思う。自分の存在意義を子供で保っていた。

It’s cute (at some point) because the mom was just trying to protect his boy but she didn’t noticed that she was making damage to her son, so she calls herself “useless” Good song

いい曲

When you realize she said: "if i can only go back in time" But when you restart the song the same thing happened.

絵を見るとお母さんは寂しいのに強がってる感じがする

楽な気持ちになれるからすき

" songs can't make you cry? " " songs can't make you cry.. "

I find it scary how listening to the song, the parts where the mother says stuff like "Come here I'll protect you" and "Oh sweet child, good child you belong to me" I actually feel love. A sense of belonging. It makes me question if I'm actually more naive than I realize I am, as someone who suffered emotional abuse from my own mother. I melt too easily to praise. Edit after 6 months: Looking at this comment section and it still feels all too sweet. I'm still so glad to be given this much comfort over the internet 💕 Thank you all so much 💞

歌詞は悲しいけど曲調すごい好きだ

この曲はとてもメロディアスです、はい、本当に大好きです

I like how the captions have the same color as the text and the black bar fills up for every word said

Only in a Kikuo song can you start out so happy and end so disgusted. I mean this is the most complimenting way ever that Kikuo can portray the worst of the worst without issue. It is genius how accurate these songs are

Kikou is really good at painting a dark and depressing picture with their songs it's amazing

In my opinion. This song is about a parent that nags and abuses their child. But still says sorry and like "but i will protect you forever" is like the parent still loves the child but cannot really express it.

When the child was still little, the text was colourful, bouncy and hiragana. When he grew up, it turned into plain black kanji.

子供が旅立った後も影だけずっと残ってる…

This is weirdly soothing

Listening to this while eating ice candy and crying behind the gym cuz I just lost a badminton match that I worked so hard for

Honestly, the saddest thing here is how many people can identify and relate. I hope at least some people are finding comfort in knowing they're not alone in these experiences (even though I absolutely don't wish them on anyone, knowing your not the only person to suffer like you can be comforting sometimes imo.) I grew up in that sort of situation too, and I hope y'all know you can get out, you deserve better, and you 100% do not deserve your abuse. Your safety comes before any sort of familial responsibility. (sorry for being so serious in a youtube comment)

early in 2019, my mother went to another country to spend time with her family. she was to be away for around a month. up until that point, id pretty much caught on that she was..not a good parent to me, and all the things she had done to me were far from normal, despite her constantly telling me it was. id decided that in that month she was gone, id make up my mind about whether or not i was going to finally get away from her. conveniently, my parents had divorced when i was eight, so if i did decide to leave her, i could just go live with my other parent full time, so it was simply a matter of whether or not i had the guts to do it. during that month, i listened to this song on repeat nearly every day. reflecting on my life with my mother had been so overwhelming and sickening, but when i listened to this song it was like i was being given a place for me to put my emotions, so it wasn't just bundled all up inside of me. it really helped me keep a level head that month, and kept me from resorting to anything self destructive to cope. this song gave me the strength to decide i was going to leave her. when she returned, she picked me up from school, and i was silent on the whole drive home. but as soon as we were inside, i told her i had to tell her something. i told her i wanted to live with my dad full time. she was uncharacteristically quiet, before sending me to my room. i was terrified she was going to punish me, so as soon as i got in i locked the door and hid under my bed. it felt like hours i was laying there, but i just put on my headphones, listened to this, and began to cry. my dad came to pick me up not long after that. for a long time, i felt like i had commited a heinous crime, like i was the most disgusting horrible person for leaving my mother. my brain was constantly telling me 'you were just overreacting, she was telling the truth, it was normal, youve ruined her life by leaving her', and so many people around me always told me things in the same vein. they told me she was my mother, so there was no way she could have ever done anything worth me leaving her, which just furthened the guilt. but a few weeks after id left her, i listened to this song again. i just remembered all the reflecting i had done up until i had decided to live with my dad full time, and although i still felt i had done something wrong, it was like it awakened a part of me, spoke to me and told me it wasn't my fault, even if i didnt fully believe that yet. this song helped me with so much, and i don't know if i would've gotten through all of that without it. it sounds silly saying that, that i owe my current life to one little song, but its true. so thankyou, kikuo. thankyou so much.

これはすごい

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

kikuo bro you okay?

勘違いかもしれませんが、途中の「いっしょ」という歌詞が「いっちょ」と幼児を甘やかすような声に聞こえ、鳥肌が立ちました。 綺麗で可愛らしい音なのに、悲しさばかりがあるきくおさんの曲がとても大好きです。

My parents when i ask them a question and it turned into a lecture:

I like how the captions color and appear one at a time

「君はできる子」「君はすごい」「やれば出来る」「頑張れ」って言われるよりもこの歌詞の方が寄り添ってくれるように感じる。

you know it's serious when you can relate to a kikuo song

I NEEDED THAT, THANKS.

自分だけできない時とかにこの曲が頭の中で流れる

this song for me is abt generational trauma. The main chorus is “you are a useless child” which is the mother saying that to her child (obvi) but at the point where the child leaves the chorus changed to “i am a useless child” which is probably them reflecting on their parent/s calling them that and its approaching back to them, and they start to repeat it to themselves since they have realized they have now fit into the mold their parents put them in. but right before the original chorus changed, it stated that “even tho the child was wounded he left my side” which probably means that she has realized only after her child left that she affected her child the way her parent/s affected her which is why she phrases “if only i can turn back time”

子供離れができない私が1番できない子。

Kikuo, you are truly an artist. You are so talented. I've listened to this song a billion times and it still makes me cry. You are capable of encapsulating feelings like fear, redemption, and joy like no other.

My mom: "Why do you avoiding talking with me?" *Also my mom:*

Parents: you can tell me anything, I won't judge. Kid: *tells everything* Parents: Stop faking, others have it worse it's the phone ungreatful brat I/god gave you a (list a no. of things that are the general necessity for living). You have nothing to be depressed over. It's just a phase You were literally smiling yesterday! Grow up

Gotta love how Kikuo is always traumatizing us with these lyrics 🗣️🔥
