- NEW MARETU SONG LETS GOOOO. I woke up an hour late from stream T_T I still provide you all the translation tho! Thanks for those on the MARETU discord for helping a bit with it!
I know I haven’t posted in a while either- I promise I’ll get to posting covers soon! Never missing out on a new MARETU song though!
Take the translation with a grain of salt as always! Will update description with any important notes in terms of the song!
Notes:
•The distorted vocals do say “Let’s/Best Dance”
•0:41 and 3:39 - I swear I thought I added this but the translation is “Shall we go and become connected with a happy and joyful Kingdom of Heaven?” It’s contrasts the verses about the fruits of reality so I felt it important to clarify that!
•As mentioned by @ueouoss, the “Dance of Life” is a painting by a Norwegian artist that depicts the metaphorical representation of the cycle of life; from young to old. The Dance of Life could also reference an African ritual they participate in to connect with the divine.
I do not own this song, all credit to MARETU: • 【初音ミク】 いのちのおどり 【オリジナル】

My Theory: This song screams the vibe of Kikuo’s Dance of Corpses so I feel the meaning is similar to that song, possibly about someone finding reasons to and not to kill themself
Additional Theories I read:
•With the lines of “It’s a simple thing, it’s very easy”, some speculate it to be about sexual coercion in relation to the same themes of Mind Brand. A comment by @user-jzrr2pk4j under the video states how 0:29, the flowers line can be interpreted as an allegory for genitalia, stating how “I felt that it implied that there are children who are being degraded.” Additionally, “connecting with the kingdom of Heaven” could be an analogy for reaching climax
•In relation to the suicide bit, instead of the singer committing, the singer wants a better life for themselves but is unable to obtain it. They want to die but can’t, so they are forced through a “Dance of Life” while continuing to fantasize about death

i think this song means someone who is recovering from trauma but eventually becomes someone who traumatized people (idk what else to add)
I can definitely see this too! Always love how open to interpretation Maretu’s songs are!
@@sakuravikofficialme too :3
Abused becomes the abuser
If it's actually the true meaning then damn I relate 🙁
"nothing is faster than light"
I guess maretu stans decided to break the laws of physic today
And we’ll continue to!!
kikuo (corpse dance): kill
maretu: live
This song is the embodiment of evil Kikuo lol
(Evil Kikuo be like: live)
@@sakuravikofficialReal
MARETU fans when a new song drops (they are going to break the sound barrier to post a translation):
Faster than the speed of light 🏃🏻♀️
@sakuraavikofficial MARETU FANS LIKE US UNITE 😼😼😼😼
To me this song is about someone trying to find the good parts in life and feel happy despite feeling like their life is horrible, and having thoughts of suicide and feeling like they should do it because anyone could and so it's simple, but trying to combat those thoughts by thinking how much good can come from life
I love this theory! It was my first thought that it’s something along those lines. That or also they don’t want to live but can’t die so all they can do is continue with life while fantasizing about death
Agree
I unfortunately identify a lot with this song (or this way of interpreting it, I don't know).
@@UnluckyEimi me too
My connection between this and the themes of love, in line with the translator's "kingdom of heaven" correlating to climax, is that they may be self soothing through sexual encounters or a relationship that revolves around lust more than love
I can't believe nobody else has pointed this out yet but I think the title was supposed to reference Corpse Dance- like Maretu's White Happy was a reference to Viva Happy
Nvm I scrolled further down and somebody did point it out before me but still lol
Yeah I definitely see this too!
Maretu and kikou really needs to collab
@@AceDetectiveKirigiriI wish that would happen somehow
LITERALLY THOUGHT THIS WHEN THE SONG FIRST CAME OUT 😭😭😭😭😭
In my opinion, it sounds like someone who keeps trying to commit suicide, but is always stopped.
Because the song seems to be going in a loop of sorts, the person is stopped, they continue to have suicidal thoughts until they eventually 'dance', causing them to eventually be stopped by someone else no matter how badly they desire to go to heaven.
Plus the chorus sounds a bit like begging imo, "Let me dance!!" Sounds like a type of plea or hope, like "Just let me die" or "I hope this ends up working out".
So in a way, the song seems to be about someone begging for death, wanting other people to stop trying to get in the way.
When I first saw this song I immediately thought of suicide for some reason lol. I definitely think it's about someone in a bad place who can't recover. Like, they want to "dance the dance of life", they want to "touch the shining sparkle of life", but they can't.
Also I think the voice is saying "Let's dance".
It was my immediate thought so yes I agree! I just updated the description talking abt how some are pointing out the possible themes of sexual coercion too so it’s possible to see it that way too!
As for the voice, I hear let’s dance too. It sounded a bit too obvious to add in the subtitles but I’ll add it into the description just in case!
I think the songs about someone who accepting that there life is horrible so they just “have to keep dancing”
I think something similar myself so it’s definitely a lense to interpret it in!
Imo the song seems to either be about someone recovering from depression or someone with bpd--the repetition of "let me dance", "come on", "hey" in particular make me think of that in-between struggling phase between recovery and complete despair, where you're telling yourself it's so easy, everyone can do it, they're doing it already, you should be allowed to do the same, but your brain won't let you--I'm less sure about the bpd interpretation, but I think that person in the comments who said the lyrics are about mania totally hit the nail on the head (I think that can be said for a lot of MARETU songs actually). The lyrics describing life as hard and painful and then calling it beautiful, of wanting to forget everything and then wanting to remember, it really makes me think the singer is conflicted between whether or not they want to live or die, but are actively (at least a little) attempting to stay alive and find joy in their life. Either way I'm still grooving
This song is about mania. The lyrics, the tone. “Until it makes me sick.”
Yes! I definitely think it has something to do with mania or insanity imo
:o
When I'm in a translation competition, but my opponent is a maretu fan.

@@lobsylobs HELP-
This is like Mind Brand part 2
I heard a lot of people comparing to Mind Brand! It does sound a bit similar?
@@sakuravikofficial Yeah it definitely has a few aspects of Mind Brand, with the lyrics.
i feel like im going insane here, but aren't there clear thematic connections to midsummer celebrations? midsummer is a celebration of life/fertility, and you dance around a pole. flowers and such tend to be part of the celebration as well, even though it's usually lighthearted and admittedly not nearly as dark/deep as much of the lyrics. the graphic in the video reminds me a lot of the pole as well. i don't have a theory for what the actual meaning or message is, just this possible linked theme. hopefully someone else can use it :]
I don’t think you’re crazy for that! It is a song open to interpretation anyway! I honestly really like this connection and it makes sense in the context! Really cool how many people noticed different things about the song and interpret it differently!
29 MINUTES AGO,, YOURE SO FAST 🙏 THIS SONG IS GREAT!! tysm for the translation!!
Ofc ofc 🥺💕
I mean judging by the symbol and The words making the symbol at the end only, this could *b* about Over-Population or Endangerment
But it could also be about ( *Actually acknowledging the parts similar to "dance of Corpse" and "Let's go to heaven" both songs by kikou*)
1. Like I said De-Population/ Over-Fishing and suicide
2.Being miserable and commiting suicide
3.Shinjū //The hearts, Hint of Love and death: ♡♥︎//
4.Coercion ( making someone else do something you said by force) into harming someone else they don't like and suicide
5. Fearing the future and ending yourself because (hints of joining "them" and reality)
6. Or because Valentine's just passed it could be about romantic relationships,explains how people of love are over-exploiting themselves to get one and end up getting hurt, Eventually going insane in the end.
Whenever a new Maretu song drops, this is literally the first channel I check for English translations! Thx for being on top of these vids!
Honestly I’m so happy to be that person you go to 🥺 I always try to post it ASAP since I too love maretu! I stay up at 6 am doing it so I’m glad it pays off for people ^^
This sounds like the oposite of corpse dance🙀
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the similarities! I wonder if this song is inspired by it?
@@sakuravikofficialConsidering how the picture somewhat looks like a person with other people clinging to them kinda like corpse dance and with how the people here have extra body parts (arms) when the people in corpse dance are missing body parts (faces) it could definitely take a lot of inspiration from corpse dance imo
Speaking of similarities, the song also sounds rather similar to Mind Brand, so I think it could also be a sequel to that. Maretu likes to reference his older songs through melodic, instrumental or lyrical similarities anyway, probably to establish connections between them
Edit: Also to make it a bit clearer, in this song the instrumentals and the cheering sound are a bit similar to Mind Brand's
I saw the correlations aswell! And since Maretu DOES have a history of responding to other v creators songs (White happy - Viva Happy), soo..
@@Giovansbilly I mean, maybe, but doesn't mind brand already have a counterpart (Maegamist)? Is it possible that he continued that story?
Making a cover of this song which I will never release IMMEDIATELY (THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ENG SUB I NEEDED IT)
I’m planning to make a cover myself! Unfortunately can’t today but this song is too good not to. Good luck making your cover! And you’re welcome ^^
Thank you! I'm amazed, it's so quick like the translation to angel 92. Do I only think that with every song MARETU becomes more and more cryptic?
Haha that’s just how I roll! I honestly can feel that. This one was a bit less cryptic than Angel 92 in my opinion but most to all his recent songs have felt very vague yet dark so I definitely feel that! Pronouns are difficult to determine especially I feel. There’s not many usages in this case so even the pronouns like I, my, we, us, you, etc. can be interpreted depending on the translator!
you're doing lord's work tysm for the translation !!!
Of course! 🫶🏻💕
Maretu fans are so fast they break the sound barrier 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
REAL 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥
This HAS to be about a cult
you were fast with this!! im happy to see the translation
As expected from MARETU fans lol, I’m happy to provide!
Perfect, now I wait to find the theories on this
There’s some here in the comments and I added mine and a few I’ve seen around into the description!
AHHHH TYSMMMM IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG
Of course! I’ve been listening to it no -stop for the past few hours while translating lmao
idk if its just be, but the way the lyrics are sung at the very beginning hit my brain and go
"Wait, why does that beat sound familiar"
And im like trying to wrap my head around and trying to remember
No because I get that same vibe too! Funny enough, it does remind me of Mind Brand in that rhyme flow
i think it's because it has the same sequence of notes that mind brand has, put 'em side by side and there's definetly similarities, it's not just you imo www
Some time before was thinking "Damm, i wish there was a translation of this. People aren't that fast, i'll have to wait like 2 days for it"
AND THEN THIS POPS OUT ONE HOUR LATER NFDJKSANJK
Yall are fast.
I will say, for MARETU fans, there will ALWAYS be at least one translation up the first day. We’re just to insane not to want to know the meaning ASAP lol
MARETU fans usually have translations out in three hours and covers out a day after the release lol
@@lillia6666 MARETU fans are such an interesting specimen...
thank you for making this so soon!
Of course! Anything for the fellow MARETU fans 😎
@@sakuravikofficialepik
NO WAYYY I knew a translation was gonna come fast!! You're doing amazing ❤❤❤
For Maretu songs, they’re always up quickly! Thank you 🥺💕
I hate to be that person but.. the title reads "ft. original" not "ft. Miku". Good job getting this out so fast tho tyyy!!
Oops! I was trying to post it quickly that I put that instead (I copy and pasted the title from the video so “original” was in there)😭 thanks for pointing it out! That’s embarrassing lol
Maretu fans will push out translations at the speed of light I swear
We’re just very dedicated to his work lol
Tysm i was waiting for that in particular ❤
OMG THANK U SM FOR THIS TRANSLATION!!
Of course! 💕
I think the similarities with Mind Brand might be because of either the stories are connected or because they both have the theme of trauma in their stories
Most maretu songs have trauma involved lmao
i only know somethings like what "dance of life" is it is a painting from a Norwegian artist the painting is a metaphorical representation of lifes arc to youth to old. As well as a dance someone named they dance with their arms like the being in the cover. The Dance of life is also the name of a ritual in Africa they to this to connect to the divine also said At 3:39
theres most likely more but idk
I was trying to look it up to see what it could reference since a lot of Japanese comments were talking about hieroglyphs and feather ornaments. I love getting to know about this! I’ll add it into the description! Thanks for sharing!
thank you for this! it's a very good song so i was wondering what the translation was
Of course! I really enjoy this song too!
WOOOO
EVERY DAMN TIME!!! you're so fast I love you for this!! 🌷well done!!🌷🌷
Of course! Thank you 🫶🏻
Was waiting for someone to put an English translation of this song
Thanks!
Of course!
holy shit you're fast but thank you so much I needed this. I also woke up late from the stream lol
Glad I’m not the only one then 😭 I just feel more bad abt it cuz I usually go straight to translating after watching the stream so lol. No problem though!
i have been looking for that, thanks buddy ;33
You’re welcome! 💕
There are obvious sexual themes here, especially towards the end. The "dance of life" could very easily be referring to making a baby. My theory is the protagonist here suffers from depression and suicidal ideation like others have mentioned, and hope for a better future. Possibly they're using intimacy simply to make themselves feel better/as a coping mechanism, but they could also be hoping to have a child and start a family, seeing that as the beginning of a new life for themselves.
Mind Brand(Instrumental):Why You Sounded Like Me
Dance For Life(Instrumental):I Am, YOU.
IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO DOES TRANSLATIONS FASTER ITS SAKURAA THANK YOU! WE'RE ALL GRATEFUL FOR YOU!
Haha no problem! Always happy to provide 🫡
considering maretu’s way of creating lyrics instead of something mental, the meaning of this song could be taken LITERALLY. its something like trying to resurrect your beloved- idk about the beloved part- but ending up losing yourself in the process
NO WAY I JUST FINISHED MINE I WAS GONNA POST IT
Beat you by a half hour 😭 still post yours! Having multiple is always good :)
@@sakuravikofficial HAHAADHH YES OFC !
i love you for this
Always happy to provide 🫶🏻
I actually just wanted to what are those things (japanese) but you translated into a English, but then i realized those are lyrics
Btw your videos are great! ❤🎉
Warning for mentions of less then happy things but its maretu so what do you expect
For some reason i think this is about a double suicde,and the pov is a partner who had a rough life trying to convince the other partner to end it with them in a last dance of life,and in the end,they go through with it
Thats just my interpretation with some of the lyrics like "shall we go and become connected to the kingdom of heaven", "this method is very simple actually,all because you can do it too",etc
I don't know if it's just me and I don't have any solid proof to back up my theory, but I get a feeling, just from the vibe and illustration alone, that this might be about a cult 0_0
Oh! I recall reading a few Japanese theories and one of them mentioned the idea of a cult! So you aren’t alone in that assertion!
Even if the song isn’t abt a cult it definitely feels like I’m trying to be brought into one lol
our king maretu
All hail!
Hail to our king 🛐🛐
THANKS DAWG
Thank you for the quick translation as always!
I agree with the description: some of the lyrics do make me think there’s a sexual meaning but overall the vibe makes me think of Kikuo’s Corpse Dance
omg thank you !!
Of course! 🫶🏻
“Let me touch it” might be a reference to suji? Idk it just reminded me of that
Oooh I can see it!
Yeah this feels like reverse corpse dance
Really glad to see other people agree on this notion!
finally eng subs!!!!
I’m surprised there weren’t any sooner! I woke up late and missed the stream by an hour 😭 so I’m lucky to apparently be the first to post it lol
"finally" it has been 3 hours 😭😭
OMF SO FAST THANK U
Of course 😎
WOOOO LETS GOOO
No fucking way you speedran this thanks for your service
That’s just what Maretu fans do 😎 anytime!
maretu fans are always so fast… when’s the UTAU cover coming out
I know some people already made vocal midi files for the song so you should definitely expect covers today and/or tomorrow!
Yaaaaay a new maretu banger about trauma and depression :') I'm gonna scream it once I learn it
MARETU and Kikou: We will traumatize you
Mitchie M: Dont worry bro I got you
My interpretation is that this song is a POV of a depressive person listening (and reacting) to someone talking to him telling that life is easy and you should just "dance with it" "it's very easy anyone can do", but in the person side of view way and the "traditional way", the way it told "let's try to fix your broken body" feels like someone that is thinking they are helping this depressed person, but of course, this is not taken in a good way by the depressed person and it's not helping since life is more complex then that, you can't just "smile and accept" stuff, and that's why we keep hearing "Let me dance" in a more demanding way, this is the MC thinking to himself and begging for it to stop and let him do things his way, also, after 1:42 I think this is the MC thinking to himself about what he listened in a more negative way
This song can be interpreted in a lot of ways, but this is what I theorized
Am i the only one who thinks this is about addiction to cope with depression because they are "dancing" their problems away
With the translation my interpretation is a bit different maybe it's about people struggling to find light in their lives but is trying to accept the fact that they are too deep down and just tries to be a good person to reach to that heaven
I can honestly see that!
GIRL NOBODY CAN EVER STOP THE MARETU FANS
We’re too powerful muahahaha
@@sakuravikofficial yep
I think this is my favorite of maretu’s recent songs, it reminds me a bit of his older songs for some reason ^__^ nostalgic
THIS SONG RELEASED LIKE AN HOUR AGO🤯🤯🤯
Maretu fans when new song (we make and post everything the same day)
OH MY DAYS YOU ARE SOO FAST
Just another day for Maretu fans ✨
I'm late, but you sure weren't! I don't how you get the translatiosn out so fast!! ✨
Ok hear me out….i think this song is about joining a cult
I can definitely see that!
M= masked
A=artistic
R= Realistic
E= entertaining
T= talented
U= un-identified
the song was release a couple of hours ago...
I am speed (all maretu fans are)
Has anyone else commented about the instrumental at 1:53 sounding a lil reminiscent of Mind Brand or am i just goofy
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that noticed this! I feel like this has a connection with Mind Brand before the translation came up... but not confirmed yet!
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT OMG, I already knew the song sounded a lot like Mind Brand but that’s a direct portion of the song omg
IT WAS JUST POSTED 8 HRS AGO ISTG 😭😭😭
Alright time to post it 3 minutes after the original comes out /hj
For me, it sounds like someone's fed up of life and depressed of it. However, he tries to keep 'dancing', which in this context can be 'keep living.' He tries to continue living, but his dark thoughts always conquer him instead, to the point he's begging his mind to just let him 'dance' the dance of life. I also think those lyrics that tell 'It's a very simple thing to do.' and stuff like that are his unaliving thoughts trying to control him while he's trying his best to just continue rolling on and not have it succeed in making him die.
So long story short, it's a suicidal person's thoughts telling him to die but he tries not to follow his thoughts.
Also why does the thumbnail look like the man's getting bit by piranhas lmao
this makes so much sense tho
Maretu fans are speed itself
I love this song, but its tune reminds me of the Caillou opening theme-
Maretu realeased a new song = Maretu fans being faster than light posting a new vid

Gracias jajaja, amo mucho a MARETU por eso trabajo rapido!
(Lo siento, si me español es malo, yo habla español un pequito)

No matter what you keep dancing along the song.
one minute ago XD
Catching it right on time ;)
Can someone link the Maretu Discordd? X"DD
Here! I’ll also link it in the description :) discord.gg/5fARC3Z
@@sakuravikofficial Thank youuu X)
do you know the translation of the muffled sounds too?
I put it in the description but the muffled vocals seem to be saying “Let’s dance” but that’s just from a listening perspective. Some other similar variation like “Best dance” or “Life dance” is possible to but seeing as the lyric right after is “Let’s dance a dance of life”, in my opinion, it’s saying “Let’s dance”
@@sakuravikofficial thanks!
the use of the mind brand melody in the background is making me think this is either the same person singing or the ex of that person… like there’s no way this isn’t related. they are sister songs!
This the first maretu song with slightly positive lyrics I’ve seen, is my man healing?
i think its pregnancy
