My heart goes out to all the koalas that was sacrificed to make this happen

good, now we need a will stetson cover for a will stetson song

cant believe you turned into a koala for this one i admire your dedication

Wow. This ____ was simply phenomenal. The way the _______ matches the ______, the _____’s attention to detail, and just the _________ shown by the video… fantastic production! < After the video premiere > Wow. *This **_production_** was simply phenomenal.* In the way that I interpreted this, the _koala_ matches [both] the girl's inner thoughts as well as the true version of herself. Koalas sleep for 20-22 hours a day, and a lot of creative thinking or dreams are formulated during sleep. However, throughout the video, the girl seems to be emotionally traumatized and separated from the koala. Even at (0:35) when she thinks about the koala, she shudders, perhaps scared to be herself. Each chorus starts with "教えて　意味あるのか" or "So tell me, why should I even try" and her disposition to look down throughout the music video is proof of it. It's apposite that in distressful times, you have a way to air everything out, but ironically the easiest thing to do is to just bury it in. I absolutely love the way the characters are portrayed during the synth solo (1:57). From the slow blinking of the koala, to the tears of the girl, everything is so perfect. The koala that first tries to brute force the door, to eventually resorting to cats and funny pictures, reminds me a lot of how there are all different ways to help someone open up their feelings. It's a reminder to be patient with people, whether you know what they're going through or not. I can count on my fingers how many times I've been in a dark place and just a funny meme or someone directly inviting me to talk about my feelings has let me open up and clear my head, *just [like in] (**2:20**) shown by the video… [such a] *fantastic production!* The most beautiful section for me was 2:31, when the girl with her dead eyes finally lets out a scream, "Is it wrong to run and hide, come tell me why!!" The koala breaches through the walls the girl tried so incessantly to keep up. The girls seems caught by surprise, and the way she smiles almost seems to be reminiscent of the fake smile she puts up at (0:47) The koala sees through this and 1 taps her in the face... I nearly teared up when both of them hugged and the girl was finally OK🥺 This is followed by the scene at (3:18), when the girl opens the door at and the Koala takes off their mask, I took it that she was finally comfortable to be in her own skin I can't wait Will's English Cover to be released, good job to Will and everyone who worked on Koala! 🐨

will stetson producing a vocaloid song was not on my 2023 bingo card but i am SO glad it happened

He literally made a happy, upbeat, cute, adorable song about koala’s using lyrics for depression. *we have been raced into the night.*

A YEAR IN THE MAKING

okay i’m gonna say it: right now i am impartial to the existence of koalas let’s see if mr stetson can sway me to worshipping whatever koala idol he’s been bowing down to guys koalas are so based this song is such a banger

曲調リズミカルで可愛い 海外の方でここまで巧みに日本語操れるの凄すぎだろ…

not only did will release his first ever original vocaloid song, he also released it the same day as vy1's anniversary. loved the song, will be a regular listen for me.

will. stop. stop making me cry. these lyrics. this is definetely going up on my top favorite vocaloid songs list. Thank you will & team, i will treasure this song. this song really reminds me of kyu-kyuarin and i really like that song too. I CANT STOP COMMENTING IM SORRY THIS IS JUST GREAT 😢

Can't wait for Koala 👀 Edit : THIS SLAPS, AS PER USUAL WILL DOESNT DISSAPOINT. You and the team did an amazing job!

I was not expecting a fully japenese vocaloid from your channel, but as usual, this song was a banger! I'm excited to see where this goes in the future and bravo on this release!

As an Australian who sees koalas everyday and also loves Will Stetson, I’m giving this the Aussie stamp of approval. 🐨💅

Woah! This has such a nostalgic sound! It somehow reminds me of the old vocaloid days with songs like "hello, how are you" or "my r." But less depressing. You got a really nice team together on this! kyaami? Wow! Great job everyone! 👏👏👏

最高過ぎる！この曲調がすごく癖になる 歌詞の内容少し重めでちょっと「それ分かるなあ」とかあるけどそれを踏まえて何をこの曲で伝えたいか？がとても分かりやすくてマジ最高(日本では深夜だから今の俺の語彙力は0)　これは音楽急上昇中ランクイン待ったなしですわ

Congrats on making your own vocaloid original. I've always liked your covers, so I'm excited to see your future as a producer. I'm subbed now.

Koalas? I was a koala once. They once locked me in a room. A room with trees. Trees of the eucalyptus kind. And koalas eat eucalyptus. Koalas?

“I love Koalas” - Will 1 day ago “I’m gonna be a Koala” - Will 27 minutes ago

Ok so I'm editing a docu I'm uploading soon rn but you got me crying in the studio hhhh I've been under a lot of stress lately, just a lot on my plate. It all culminated the day before yesterday and I almost went to the hospital because my nose wouldn't stop bleeding for like an hour because I burst a vessel while crying. And idk seeing this video today-- it really cheered me up ;w; thank you, Will/.

Here 6 days before this comes out and I’m just going to say that I have now sold my sanity to koalas

こんな良い曲に早く辿り着けて良かった！！

Will, please know that this song is such a masterpiece, you really killed it !! Very looking forward to your music producer era 🥹 Thank you as well for having me write the Japanese lyrics for this song, it was truly an honor!

I think it's kinda cool how the things that koala girl holds at the door could correspond to the ways that other people/the person themselves tries to get out of their depressive state (chainsaw being physical activities/by force, the sword that cloud has being games/hobbies, the cat being either cute things/taking care of something and the funny pic just being things like twitter or memes to make you feel some form of happiness)

何このいい曲…泣いちゃった🥺 この人作曲もできたの？ 歌詞が外国人が翻訳してるだけあって日本語の表現がユニークなところあるんだけど、それがまた心が辛い時の心境みたいになってて良すぎる！めっちゃ好き🐨🐨

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU WILL. you keep impressing us again and again, i remember when you had about 100-200k and i was wondering when the world would catch up to your talent.. i'm so glad to see you bloom!! 💙🐨

This is absolutely wonderful. I’m so proud of ya man, been here for a while and gotta say I love to see the improvements and strides you’ve made in this field. It’s been an absolutely brilliant ride to say the least.

guys i love "????" by will stetson my favourite part was when he said "its koala time" and koalad all over the place, truly one of the songs of all time this was wonderful will !!! so proud of u and ur whole team

Will Stetson turned into a koala, funniest shit I’ve ever seen

めちゃめちゃ可愛いし癖になる神曲だ…！

cant believe this song slapped so much they made an animal inspired by it

I didn't think Will Stetson's second original song could've made me cry. And yet, here I am. Thank you for this song.

Nice man!!! Both of your orignal songs have been bangers, its crazy how professional and well done it is, keep doing what you're doing!

I knew it. He's becoming a Koala Vtuber..

この曲の発表の瞬間に立ち会えたのは本当に誇らしいです😊

最初のイントロから神曲！おすすめに出てきてくれてありがとう

this song gives a kyu kurarin type vibe. Pretty cute tho

Not what I expected but still a banger. Loving the animation style so much, the song is good aswell.

I have never kinned a song so much that its concerning me For reals though, This song is so good! The MV and Lyrics made me actually tear up, and the Music takes me back to the days of those Silly and Weird Vocaloid MMDs for some reason but im not complaining 😃 Overall this is amazing and ive never been happier for my school to start having water issues /j

めちゃくちゃ良いです……!!!!🤩🤩

kyaami in the description, already know its gonna be fire, and the snippet sounds great

In 6 days I will finish my metamorphisis and emerge as a smooth brained Koala It will be bliss. EDIT: IM LIVING IN TRUE HAPPINESS THE SONG IS SUCH A BANGER OMG

this video is so amazing. I love the lyrics, the vocaloid, and all the other important aspects of it. Everyone did such an amazing job. Thank you!!

海外の方なのにあえて日本語でオリ曲作るの大好きです……ありがとうWill Stetson

Oh i am JAMMING TO THIS HELL YEAH

this got me a lil emotional ngl BUT ANOTHER ORIGINAL BANGER ???!?!?!?!??! this song was so catchy i love it sm

ive been a long time fan of will. this makes me so happy, the self cover is also amazing!! thank you for years of great covers!!

AMAZING SONG! Its so cool to see you making your own Vocaloid song! Been following you for like a year! Can't wait for your future works!

I've been following you for about two years now and it's been so cool to see how you've grown. You have such a distinct style especially when it comes to your vocal stacks. I really appreciate this song as it relates to what I've been dealing with lately :') I don't really like commenting but you've helped me get through a few things through your covers. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us !! ❤

わお！すご

Omg i listened it for the first time and i'm hooked already! Will play this on repeat and cant wait for your new songs!

Your usual covers are already amazing and this is somehow even better

Will has continued the (weird) tradition of Japanese songs about not being okay being THE BEST

the instrumental sounds so silly and i love it

Wonderful as always, I related to the song a lot

it's been very exciting watching the Will Stetson, journey. Very hyped to hear more of these amazing originals

Wasn't expecting a Japanese song from Will, but what I was expecting even less was English lyrics that work in the captions! Amazing song yet again! Playlist for sure!

So grateful for everyone working on this song and mv! Hopeful for many more original songs to come from Will :D

I waited to maybe hear something silly, but what I heard was a beautiful piece that stands side by side with what vocaloid songs are. Thank you for this Will, that one hit home.

One of the best songs you’ve done 💯

No wonder why it's so good, kyaami tuned VY1, sounds so human!

YAAY!!! GOOD JOD WILL🎉🎉🎉 You guys did great. The song is amazing and the animation is so cute ❤❤❤

Honestly beautiful, always great to see an original

Wow this is so good!!!The video is cute and expresses difficult Japanese well.I like listening to the English cover songs you translated

This was such a koala-ty song for sure! A bit sad for sure, but good overall! Can't wait for more independent songs of yours, Will! 🐨

Welcome to Australia.

incredibly good, think i'll have this on repeat for a while. LOVE the softer instrumental in that last part, also very relatable lyrics. looking forward to more originals hopefully!!

The art be banging and the music omgg did a great job!

this song gives me kyu kurarin vibes

Damn, aiu404l is talented asf. Good work to team and congratulations will for appearing on the vocaloid charts , definitely deserved!

WAH I can’t stop looping this man

This is the 2nd Premiere that I have watched on your channel, and I enjoyed it alot! Thanks for this masterpiece :D

I don't normally leave comments on youtube, but things have been tough lately and listening to this song after getting out of bed today put a genuine smile on my face :) this is an absolutely lovely song I'll probably be listening on repeat for a long time, great job to everyone involved!!!

[english lyrics] Waking up again Oh god, my mind is a mess And all my thoughts Tie in knots inside my head While every dream sings sweetly Begging to stay But though I fight It’s time to start the day Breakfast made, but oh what a pain I choke it down What an empty Boring taste “How was the food?” You ask So happy and bright “I guess it’s fine,” I go and hide my eyes But inside, nothing’s fine And if you ever ask me why All I do is turn around and smile So tell me. why should I even try? I’m frozen away in time It’s pointless to try and fight against it Doubled again in sighs So now, I just wanna waste away Please, let me escape the weight And sleep like an old Koala Every day Sitting down again Oh god, my mind is a mess And all my thoughts tie in knots Inside my head So many people talking Buzzing away But every noise rings dull Inside my brain Now, I wonder, “is it okay?” “Are all the people Thinking on the same?” You would imagine after day 888 These tired thoughts Would all just fade away ‘Cause inside, nothing’s fine It should be clear to prying eyes But I won’t let the feelings See the light So tell me, why should I even try? I’m frozen away in time The walls close around me Sinking closer I’m trapped deep Within my mind So now, I just wanna run away From all the thoughts That I’ll never chase Knock out like an old Koala Every day I’m choking in a sea What could I ever do? And deep inside I can’t decide if I should die And follow through When you offer me a hand I wonder, “is it right?” To bet upon the chance And open up my life Is it wrong to run and hide Come tell me why “Is everything okay?” “I just wanna stop and say” “You don't have to cry alone and take it Sinking deep beneath the weight” Guess I went and cave I wonder, is there another way? Because I want to believe That one day I’ll be okay So now, I’ll give it another try I can finally see with a clearer mind Even if the bumps in the road Might try to stop me, Still it’ll be alright Keeping it inside Isn’t clearing up the sky So you tighten your hand in mine Following the light like a cute Koala Laughing in stride

so amazing!!!!! I love it and the self-cover as well!!!!

Okay you made me cry so much like I relate to this song sm😢

this gives me a huge kyu- kurarin feel!💖 keep it up will

I have never had a song feel like such a personal callout before like this is really just hacking into my brain and singing all my thoughts back at me over a catchy tune for two straight minutes I bet the lyrics actually change to match the person listening to it

THIS IS SO GOOD. Omw to play this on repeat. :3

english cover when 👽 the song is a banger and the MV is gorgeus! Never thought I'd be listening to your own original vocaloid song, and I am already looking forward to the next one!! much love

thank you for participating in the social experiment known as will stetson. all that remains are koalas-please enjoy your stay 🐨🐨

So excited for this~

Been looping this on Spotify! thank you Still Wetson

awesome song for a first original song. I didnt expect a japanese vocaloid to be your first original work but its a great surprise!

RAHHHHHHHH KOALAAAAA 🔥🔥🔥 VOCALOID WAS UNEXPECTED if i could give the only suggestion to make this song better, is to have mr. will duet or act as a backing vocal. GREAT LYRICS WILL AND BREADBOX, GREAT TUNING KYAAMI, CUTE MV AIU, FANTASTIC ARRANGEMENT AETHORO GREAT JOB EVERYONEEEEEEE. i hope this racks up lots of views... i really do

amazing as always 💕💕

オリジナルソング！？熱い！

the fact that the written english lyrics and the japanese lyrics are both PERFECT when it comes to the meaning of each line 🫠 love this song. didn’t expect to get some heartstrings pulled, but this is absolutely fantastic

I dont know how your average video is performing BUT IT deserves MORE than 30k views in 11 hours Its do beautiful ❤

It's sooo good! I love Kyaami's work, especially Close to you. Knew I've heard this tuning before

I absolutely love this!

I'm obsessed with this song

I didn’t expect the Koala song to be a Vocaloid song, but it sounds amazing! It reminds me of Iyowa’s music! Can’t wait for what other Vocaloid songs you make Will

the hype(?) was so well done and the song is phenomenal, it really hits hard also, thank y'all for using vy1, they sound so good when actually utilized

congrats for your first original i really liked it
