I'm still here, I'll always come home

After reading the translation of this song, it's speaking of a girl who is waiting all night for daytime to come. She makes a wish to the stars for the Sun to come. She goes through storms and floods until, finally, her wish is granted. Daytime arrives. Also a message that could be applied to bad situations or times in our lives. Just keep on holding onto your hopes, wishes and dreams. "Daytime" will come

actually, this song isn't very popular, I like how project diva reaches out to songs that are good but not very popular so that people have a chance to listen to the good underground vocaloid music

English lyrics : With a chime in the dead of night The clock murmurs With a tick-tock That signals the start of a dream Gazing down on a disparate town From up above the clouds The lights faintly glimmering Word of a lost child As we search for you, we sing From a distance, we hope our thoughtful voices might reach you someday On a night of shooting stars A north wind blows through the streets No word from the person we wait for Only traces of the coming day Prayers being carried by the stars Silently spreading out everywhere through the sky While we are in our slumber We see a joyful dream A new resolution Clouds spun into streaks Countless twinkling Lights are born in the night Footsteps and shouts ring out And all the people awake Perhaps a great many wishes Will be entrusted this eve Even if we cannot meet, I will understand Though in distant towns, we're struck and made still by the same rain In a night of stars pouring down Voices are swallowed by the sound of rain As we were, unable to sleep We watched the shining sky The rainbow colors of stardust And the bustling earth resounds As if wildly blooming fireworks Confetti dances in the skies The strobe of the streetlights And clouds that spread like ripples Upwelling water, waving hair A flock of birds flies away Like they foretell a miracle Cradling the back of a child who wakes with a start, A mother's fingertips tremble I just stand there, motionless Half-asleep, my memories return Now, when all the hours we walked Have been here reborn Until the gears start moving And sweep me away Deeper, ever deeper, I think of you A night of showering stars A north wind carries motes of light And we, unable to sleep, Wish for the coming day The cries of stardust And the ringing in my ears abruptly cease Amid the soundless scenery I dream an endless dream In a night of stars pouring down If you grab hold of those small hands To the furthest skies These stars carry our wishes And call forth a tranquil dawn Japanese and Romaji lyrics: 真夜中 奏でる Mayonaka kanaderu 時計のつぶやき Tokei no tsubuyaki チクタクと夢の Chikutaku to yume no はじまりを告げる Hajimari o tsugeru 凸凹の街を Dekoboko no machi o 眺む雲の上 Nagamu kumo no ue 微かにひらめく Kasuka ni hirameku 迷子の訪れ Maigo no otozure 僕らは君を探しながら唄うよ Bokura wa kimi o sagashi nagara utau yo 遠く想う声がいつか届けられるように Tooku omou koe ga itsuka todoke rareru you ni 星の流れる夜に Hoshi no nagareru yoru ni 北風が通りを吹き抜け Kitakaze ga toori o fukinuke 待ち人から便りはなく Machibito kara tayori wa naku 明くる日を描くだけ Akuru hi o egaku dake 星は願いを乗せて Hoshi wa negai o nosete あの空を静かに散り行き Ano sora o shizuka ni chiri yuki 僕たちは眠りのなかで Boku tachi wa nemuri no naka de 幸せな夢を見る Shiawase na yume o miru 新たに一筋 Arata ni hitosuji 雲紡ぎ伸びる Kumo tsumugi nobiru キラキラ 無数の Kirakira musuu no 光が生まれて Hikari ga umarete 足音 呼び声 Ashioto yobi-goe 誰もが目覚める Dare mo ga mezameru いくつの願いを Ikutsu no negai o 今宵託すだろう Koyoi takusu darou あなたのことは会えなくても分かるよ Anata no koto wa aenakute mo wakaru yo 遠い街で同じ雨に打たれ佇んでる Tooi machi de onaji ame ni utare tatazunderu 星の降り注ぐ夜 Hoshi no furi sosogu yoru 雨の音 声を飲み込んで Ame no oto koe o nomikonde 僕たちは眠れないまま Boku tachi wa nemurenai mama 輝く空を見てた Kagayaku sora o miteta 星屑の七色と Hoshikuzu no nanairo to ざわめきが大地に響いて Zawameki ga daichi ni hibii te 乱れ咲いた花火のように Midare sai ta hanabi no you ni 空を舞う紙吹雪 Sora o mau kami-fubuki 外灯のストロボと Gaitou no sutorobo to 波紋のように広がる雲 Hamon no you ni hirogaru kumo 浮かぶ水 ゆらめく髪 Ukabu mizu yurameku kami 鳥たちの群れは飛び去り Tori tachi no mure wa tobisari まるで奇跡を予感し Marude kiseki o yokanshi 飛び起きたかのような幼子の背を Tobi oki ta ka no youna osanago no se o 包む母の指先が震えている Tsutsumu haha no yubisaki ga furuete iru 僕はただ立ち尽くし Boku wa tada tachi tsukushi 寝ぼけながら記憶を巡る Neboke nagara kioku o meguru 歩んだ時間のすべてが Ayunda jikan no subete ga ここに蘇った今 Koko ni yomigaetta ima 動き出した歯車に Ugoki dashita haguruma ni この身を奪われるときまで Kono mi o ubawa reru toki made 強く ただ強く あなたを想ってる Tsuyoku tada tsuyoku anata o omotteru 星の降り注ぐ夜 Hoshi no furisosogu yoru 北風が光の粉を運んで Kitakaze ga hi no ko o hakonde 僕たちは眠れないまま Bokutachi wa nemurenai mama 明くる日を願うだけ Akuru hi o negau dake 星屑の泣き声と Hoshikuzu no nakigoe to 耳鳴りが最期に途切れて Miminari ga saigo ni togirete 音のない景色のなかで Oto no nai keshiki no naka de 終わらない夢を見る Owaranai yume o miru 星の降り注ぐ夜 Hoshi no furisosogu yoru 小さな両手を握れば Chiisana ryoute o nigireba 星は遠くの空へ Hoshi wa tooku no sora e 僕らの願いを届けて Bokura no negai o todokete 幸せな朝を呼ぶ Shiawase na asa o yobu.

Wheres that one comment that was like “I have to walk a long time to go to school everyday and I listen to this song while doing so and there’s this bridge I have to cross and whenever the fast part of this song starts playing I run across the bridge leaving no time to think about jumping off it” I miss you

It's been 10 years since this song came out. About 2-3 years since I found it, and it still doesn't fail to hit hard.

9 years later and this still doesn't disappoint.

This song is so nostalgic it actually hurts to listen to. I remember listening to this when I was in my 2nd year of highschool, 9 years ago. Time sure does fly...

Do you want to relax? Here are the steps: Turn of all the lights, close the doors, windows and blinds, make sure the room has the least amount of light possible Get comfortable on your bed/ sofa Put on some pretty decent stereo closed headphones Play this song

Isn't it amazing when you don't understand the language but you can feel if there's a story regardless?

Its been 6 years... And this song is still a perfect one. You cannot tell me this wasn't one of Miku's best songs in history.

This song never disappoints while wearing headphones. Anyone who hasn't already should give it a try. ^^

I like how it went from slow and soothing to fast and energetic beats.

When I listen to this song with headphones I close my eyes and just think of how lucky I am to be here and I just unexpectedly start crying. This song is a beautiful masterpiece and it will forever be in my heart.

Reads all the comments of people reminiscing about their childhoods spent listening to this and other Vocaloid music, and being close to 60 and listening to Vocaloid almost exclusively for over six years, can't help but chuckle a bit. Great music is great music, regardless of how old you are. :)

this song is still one of the most beautiful miku songs to date. 10 years strong

There are certain things that you can only appreciate when you understand the words, but there are also things that can't be fully appreciated unless you do not understand their meaning. The beauty of this song is that it is able to achieve both of these goals at the same time, and all of that is wrapped up in alongside it being one of the best records I have ever heard both on a surface level and on a deeper level, and as someone who is in the middle of learning Japanese (and as such only able to understand bits and pieces of this) I am able to appreciate both the beauty of being unable to understand it and the beauty of being able to understand it. This is truly a musical masterpiece.

its been a long time since the last time i listen to this song its feel so good

This song was unexpectedly beautiful and I seriously can't stop listening

I know, right? I just love it so much. It can be interpreted so many different ways and well.... I just love it.

EDM in 3/4! Why isn't this more of a thing?! One of the most beautifully written tunes besides.

Recently ive started to listen back to vocaloid, its troublesome since i forgot most of the titles but then i stumbled upon this and yeah a masterpiece will always be masterpiece

When I listen to this song, it reminds me of the child hood years in a lonely playground with trees and lights glimmering in the Philippines, while looking around a group of friends playing around without me because I was shy.

This is so pretty! I love it

i feel like quiet soft vocaloid songs are underrated

The moment when you realize this song is meant for the one who lost their beloving person during a disaster or accident and their wishes for them to go back even though it's in vain

I just got done crying. This song is just so beautiful. I can't get over it. It's just so emotional and I feel like I'm flying. After playing this on Project Diva F 2nd , I had to listen to it again without playing so I could comprehend what I just heard. Tears of bliss my friends. Much love to you all.

やっと見つけた…… 中学生の時にこの歌を聞いてて、ようやくまた出会う事ができた😢

I found this song when I was only 13, I’m 22 now and it’s still as beautiful as the first time I listened 💗

It's illegal to make such an cute song :3 2024 and still listening to it and dancing :3

the beginning always gets me hyped up for fire emblem fates

I'm always eagerly reading all the english translations of all the vocaloid songs I'm listening to. Knowing that 99% of the happy songs have an absolutely depressing meaning, I'm really affraid to look up the meaning of this one... but yeah. Let's go.

when i listen to this song, i imagine the girl on the screen in a small dark space holding a little ball of light to her chest. then when the beat in the song gets louder, the light gets brighter and a whole world surounds her, bursting into color! Shes in a beautiful green field with the sky blending into many shades of purple, blue and orange as the sun goes down and there are colorful shooting starts flying beautifuly across the sky. she flies up to space and is surounded by a beautiful universe bursting with color and life. she passes through each galaxy, passing each world singing her song and eventually goes back to her little world. the sun is gone and the sky is full of sparkling stars, and she is felt feeling happy and content. She wakes up in her bed to the sound of her clock on the wall. as the ticking stops, she realizes that living life to the fullest and seeing everything is the best thing that could happen to anyone.

been inlove with this song for 10 years now

Prettiest song and the most peaceful I've heard so far by vocaloid love this a ton I could listen to it all day ^-^

8 minutes of pure fucking miku. thank you.

yO thiS WAS THE SHIT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER

Why is this so beautiful? i love you japan, japan culture and otakus

I played this on Mega Mix for Switch, it's interesting hearing the little differences in music. Honestly one of the prettiest songs I've heard in a while. I always get a "dying to escape life and being free" feel from it. Kinda happy the lyrics are more hopeful than my own interpretation.

I like how this song wasn't that popular before but now it's considered as one of the iconic songs in vocaloid. Man how times change, and the song still gives me chills.

Listening to this Friday night is so relaxing

I keep coming back to this song occasionally. It is so much different from any other Miku or Vocaloid song it's simply special, even years after I stumbled upon it. John (the maker of this song), whoever or wherever you are, I hope I can hear another song from you.

coming back to this song after almost ten years, and i still love it so much

I don't care what people say, it doesn't matter if it's too long, I still love this!

I think this guy should make the next windows startup sound xD

I played this at church and people congratulated me. Only my brother knew is was a vocaloid song. He thought it was cringy but I thought it was funny. This song is still my favorite, my piano instructor is now into vocaloid.

Such an amazing song. The artistry and complexity is nothing short of genius.

omg i didnt even realize this went on for 8 minutes it feels so short what is this

Imagine gently waking up to this.

(I remember people talking about how much they wanted this to be in a Project Diva. Well, it happened.) This song is just absolutely stunning. I have not found any other Vocaloid works like it. It's just got its own beautiful sound.

Such a beautiful song.

Wow Miku sound so cute but emotional too. I Luv this its so relaxing :)

After 2019, my memory started to decline abnormally. It feels a lot like walking through a dark tunnel; if I look behind my shoulder and squint carefully, I can see the faint outlines of graffiti on the walls, and I know that they exist even as I walk far away from them. But I can't see them anymore. Sometimes I get the glimmer of a song I used to like or a story I used to read, a friendly KZfaq comments section or a warm drawing. Finding them is hard. Unfortunately, "vocaloid song with ticking clock" hardly assists me in finding what I'm looking for. I knew it existed, I knew it was a song I listened to a lot when I was tired. I knew that the left-right-left-right electronic buzz made my mind feel alive but I had no idea what it was called. I have the faint memory of how this song used to dominate my playlists during 2018, when the likes of Crier and Nonsense Speaker were the peak of my music taste. But it was nothing other than a shadow and a feeling in the back of my mind that I had no luck in finding for the first many hours of my search. It's funny how in that dark tunnel the glimmers that I find and chase four hours and hours always have to do with clocks, time, stars, the dark. I'm glad the word "append" was the only thing I could remember about this song's title because it was enough.

It's been eight years. Hello again. :)

The only vocaloid song that actually made me cry

One day in March of this year, I was browsing the Nintendo eShop on my Switch looking through games that were on sale when I saw Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix. I recognized Hatsune Miku (what person with an interest in learning Japanese and one day visiting Japan doesn't?) and vaguely recognized Project DIVA from a KZfaq video I'd watched a long time ago that talked about different rhythm games (since back then I was interested in what else there was than Guitar Hero). I decided to get the demo to confirm it's what I thought it was and see if I like it, and sure enough, Project DIVA Mega Mix has that arcade-style rhythm game format (which surprised me with how great it feels on the Joy-Cons in portable mode), so I bought the game, and since due to the sale I could buy the game plus all its DLC for pretty much what would normally be the price of just the game, I bought it all. I was very unfamiliar with vocaloid music, starting off with a few of the most recognizable ones like "Romeo and Cinderella", "ROKI", "Po Pi Po", and more. But then as I was scrolling through the song list listening to song previews, I listened to the preview snippet of Meteor, and was immediately captivated. I then decided to play through the song for the first time (on Hard, my preferred difficulty in the beginning), and I was surprised at just how strong my enjoyment of the song was and how fun its rhythm chart is. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first songs I got a Perfect in (besides "Romeo and Cinderella", which was in the demo) just because I enjoyed it so much it was so easy to stay focused on and improve at. At some point, when I'd gotten better at the game, I started practicing the song on Extreme until I got a Perfect in that as well, then went ahead and Perfected Normal and Easy just to complete the set. All of this is to say I really enjoy the song that much. I can't listen to it too many times, which is exactly what you want on a rhythm game, where you practice songs, meaning you have to listen to them many times. Plus, its music video in the game is beautiful, and its charts on every difficulty are as well-written and fun to play as things get on each difficulty. (Meaning on Easy, it's oversimplified to the point of being more difficult to Perfect than on Hard, but that's just how it is with all Easy charts, and Meteor's is one of the best ones.) Anyway. I was introduced to this song by happening to notice a Project DIVA game on sale, wanting a rhythm game on my Switch, and thinking to myself "I know I'm not interested much in anime culture, but this is a hardcore rhythm game" and buying it for purely functional reasons. The game has introduced me to some banger vocaloid music I'd not have ever looked up or listened to otherwise, with a few arguably becoming some of my favorite songs, like Meteor, Systematic Love, and ROKI. And Meteor in particular does what I really love in a song: it journeys from a soothingly calm section to an exhilarating hype section, so I can put the same song in both my "Chill" playlist and my "Hype" playlist. And all of this is before looking up the lyrics and realizing this is also a deep, up-to-interpretation kind of song, which just makes it that much cooler. ... If anyone decided to read all that, I'm sorry for kinda writing a short novel here lol I just have a lot of thoughts about this song and the game that introduced me to it.

Awesome!!!!!! No better word to describe this song.

I will forever love this song.

どこか懐かしい感じがして泣けてくる… とにかくただ美しいです…

I imagine that a girl is on the top edge of a skyscraper, she leans forward and falls. The buildings around her start to change and its now the future, then they shatter into millions of tiny pieces of glass, she keeps falling and then she shoots forward and into space. Shes floating in one place above earth and when she swipes her hand in front of herself then all the evil and everything bad is erased from earth. She starts to fall back to earth as a ball of fire when she suddenly wakes up in a hospital bed with a loud clock in the room thats supposed to count how long she has left to live. When it stops that usually means you're dead but in her case it means shes just started living.

That clock gives me chills...

This is such a beautiful song. ;~; i find it kinda uncanny though, that this played when i was reading Catching Fire, right at the part where it mentions the arena being a clock...

This song is beautiful. I recently discovered it and can't stop listening to it.

this song got me through a dark era. multiple, actually. found it when i was 10, currently 14, dont got that much of a history but it's still an amazing song; masterpiece, even

This song is great to listen to this song at night before sleeping. It's very relaxing in my opinioni

The decade is ending soon And this will be my final song I’ll listen to and that’s that 🌘

its been so long ...and this song has not been matched yet to date every new song that has come out has never reached the lvl of power and feeling this song delivers. this song holds so much power, it has so much in it I dont think it can be explained. this song holds such a dear moment in my heart

この曲をいつかライブでミクさんに歌ってほしいな・・・舞台演出も多分これまでにない味わいのものになりそうで・・・１ファンの夢想です。

Just played this for the first time in Project Diva Mega Mix... Had to immediately search up the song because it was so beautiful

I feel at peace when I listen to this song.... It's beautiful melody is very soothing.

見当たらなかったので……自分用歌詞 真夜中 奏でる 時計のつぶやき チクタクと夢の はじまりを告げる 凸凹の街を 眺む雲の上 微かにひらめく 迷子の訪れ 僕らは君を探しながら唄うよ 遠く想う声がいつか届けられるように 星の流れる夜に 北風が通りを吹き抜け 待ち人から便りはなく 明くる日を描くだけ 星は願いを乗せて あの空を静かに散り行き 僕たちは眠りのなかで 幸せな夢を見る 新たに一筋 雲紡ぎ伸びる キラキラ 無数の 光が生まれて 足音 呼び声 誰もが目覚める いくつの願いを 今宵託すだろう あなたのことは会えなくても分かるよ 遠い街で同じ雨に打たれ佇んでる 星の降り注ぐ夜 雨の音 声を飲み込んで 僕たちは眠れないまま 輝く空を見てた 星屑の七色と ざわめきが大地に響いて 乱れ咲いた花火のように 空を舞う紙吹雪 外灯のストロボと 波紋のように広がる雲 浮かぶ水 ゆらめく髪 鳥たちの群れは飛び去り まるで奇跡を予感し 飛び起きたかのような幼子の背を 包む母の指先が震えている 僕はただ立ち尽くし 寝ぼけながら記憶を巡る 歩んだ時間のすべてが ここに蘇った今 動き出した歯車に この身を奪われるときまで 強く ただ強く あなたを想ってる 星の降り注ぐ夜 北風が光の粉を運んで 僕たちは眠れないまま 明くる日を願うだけ 星屑の泣き声と 耳鳴りが最期に途切れて 音のない景色のなかで 終わらない夢を見る 星の降り注ぐ夜 小さな両手を握れば 星は遠くの空へ 僕らの願いを届けて 幸せな朝を呼ぶ

why does this make me cry-

*thank you for being there at the lowest point of my life. i owe my life to you*

THIS SONG IS SO GORGEOUS WHAT OH MY GOD IM LITERALLY ABOUT TO CRY THIS SONG IS SO GOOD WHAT

This is one of those songs that you put on when you wake up a 3 am for seemingly no reason, as moonlight pours through your window and you just lay on your bed with your eyes closed, headphones on, just taking in the song...

This song makes you dream of a world that will never be created....My search has ended.

ikr, time flies too fast right?

Just stubbled upon this song on autoplay after years of not hearing it. All I could think as it started was "YES THAT SONG". It's just so great.

its crazy how much this song means to me... i used to listen it so many times in a row when i was a kid, because i just could not get over how beautiful it was. thinking back, its one of the tracks that made me realize how electronic instruments/synthesizers can be really expressive when used well. not to mention solidifying my love of vocaloid music. now, i'm studying sound design and trying to teach myself music production. its kinda cheesy but i feel like i wouldn't be who i am today without this song. to anyone reading this: you have found a gem! keep it shiny, put it on your back shelf, and take it out every now and then when you need something beautiful to life your spirits. trust me, its really amazing.

やっと見つけた 一年ぶりだね 君の声は、本当に美しいね

old vocaloid songs are best songs

I love this song. The tone, the voice, the piano melodies. Just everything about it!! Its such a good song!!

I’ve just discovered this song, I absolutely adore it

The piano parts remind me of Final Fantasy :3

I have to thank this music. Thank you who made this just helped me a lot.

I just have to say, that sounds beautiful. The image I got in my head from that description you wrote was really something! And I agree, this song is calming and inspiring.

8分もあるとは思えないくらいに時間が早く過ぎた…あまりに綺麗で良い曲すぎる…！

the entire time i was listening to this i was thinking "wow vocaloid voices sound so realistic nowadays" and i have only now realized that this was posted in 2011

still love it, till now.

One of my first vocaloid songs...im tearing up..

the last time I've heard this when I was just at my 2nd year highschool, and I am very thankful to find it again. its been a long time :) IM CRYINGGGGGGGGG

I love this song more than words can describe

This song is so incredibly gorgeous...

that moment when you know this song was meant for people that lost their loved one wish for them to be back with them neither dead or far away and unable to be together ; _ ; i cried everytime

coming across this now is amazing this song is such a vibe !

Guys, this song is in project diva f 2nd! Stop saying it's not popular.

open two links and listen to the song at different times.... it sounds amazing

The sound, song and music was so mesmerizing I only really focused on it throughout the whole video and I barely paid attention to anything else even the picture. Simply more amazing with headphones on! Beautiful song it has to be one of my all time favorites!

How pure and innocent this is. Such tranquility between man and software. I can feel the users essence and non-comprehensible passion for such beauty as this.
