I like the subtle progression as the video goes on. Early on she’s completely disoriented, stumbling all over the place, but she slowly starts to regain control over her movements. By the end, she’s doing spin-kicks and twirling in midair, until she finally sticks the landing. Like someone slowly taking more and more control of their life back from their depression until they’re finally okay again.
Wowaka has made soo many songs. I will always love them all. Happy he could help someone though stuff. I hope you are still rolling even after 4 more years
@@Ray-gv7mr the meaning of the song is actually deep The meaning of it is she harms herself as 'rolling' is a methapor for 'cutting'. She cuts herself because people bully her saying that she is nothing but a failure During the song, the lyrics " No problem" was easily whispered. It means Miku(the girl that is rolling) tried to hide her sufferings with a false smile. In coclusion, the type of song is giving up, bullying, self harming and sucide. I know the tone of the song is 'happy' but that's just vocaloid is. Every vocaloid tone have the most happiest tone until you look at the meaning of the lyrics.
For lonely girls, It's always the same, Dreaming dreams that don't come true And churning, churning through The clamor in their heads A lonely girl mutters, I'm fine, Have words failed her? A failure, a failure.

How about now? Not yet, we still can't see what's ahead. Hold your breath, now.
Hmm because technically she escaped the depression and suicidal thoughts she had by death - in the original the video only goes into colour because she is hugged by the boy literally representing her depression and suicide (I think)
I interpreted it as her taking control of her life back from her depression, since the animation starts with chaotic stumbling and ends with clear, controlled movements
@@whimsy9506 nah, the lyric people interpret as "stop breathing" more accurately translates to "hold your breath", and combined with the fact that the boy stops the girl from strangling herself before he hugs her implies less that she killed herself and more that she's finally taking the time to look after herself rather than constantly trying to keep up with her peers and making herself miserable in the process

It's you!!!!! YOU were the original animator that inspired that one undertale rolling girl animation (and no doubt a bunch of other animations). Props to you
I still come back to this song and animation once in a while. XD 2020 has been kind of like this. Rolling down a hill trying to right ourselves and slowly getting better as we figure it out.
“lol i love this song so much” “do you know the song meaning?” “what do you mean isn’t it about falling down the stairs or something? haha it’s so funny” “dude..” “what’s wrong?”
Gotten past the lyrics of this song and better in life than before but still relate to this animation. Went through those lyric throughout high school and that was a wild thing but now a adult and adulting hard. How tf do I roll
Why does this not have millions of views? This was my introduction to rolling girl and this is the one everyone parodies, too! WHY ISNT THIS MORE POPULAR?!?!
Don’t know about NicoNico, but there is an older video on TH-cam. It’s by animator ががめ. It’s higher quality and from a slightly different perspective, but the motions seem to be pretty similar.
People when they hear a song about a girl tired of life, barely holding on as suicidal thoughts flood her mind every day: Oooohhh cute miku rolling (*’(OO)’*)
Tip for making your own versions: If on PC, then use < and > keys (not arrow keys) If on Mobile, well no good way of doing it, but find the gear icon and set speed to 0.25.
I feel like not alot of people here know that this song has a very dark meaning, rolling is a slang in japanese for self harm, the girl was getting bullied and did self harm, though im not exactly sure if she died in the end, everyone can interpret this in different ways ofcourse

Miku is just very very small
Its long enough to roll down for nearly 1 min and 40 seconds.
about as big as the mental strain poor miku has

OH.It's the lyrics, nice also sad
You know what this set of lyrics makes the most sense, thanks for your translation.
Interesting how it can be interpreted as both "Rolling" and "Lonely" simply due to the way Japanese is spoken.
Don't mind me~ Just here to cry. RIP wowaka.
Ya know, this one visually isn't as depressing! I mean, she's a happy boi at the end!

Wait u understand dis?

The animation is truly amazing, so much charm to it. Also happy for the girl. She has passed the test of life... with tumbling colours.
Ironic that the lyrics imply she offs herself at the end lol
so this is what happens when you fall down an escalator that's going up....

How the entire omori fandom depicts Mari:
1:21 she's not falling anymore.
She's purposely doing tricks.
Pretty sure she just tired and just wanna fall at first but as time went on she finally decided to be in control and tada~ pro at rolling
Yep.
Legend has it, she's still rolling to this day.
No she died

Legends say, that she is still rolling until this day
The animation has a nostalgic feeling. There were many fan animations of the rolling girl animation. I recall an Undertale one I repeated endlessly.
parent: so how are your grades

You must have very long stairs if you continued falling down for 1 minute and 49 seconds

@@ainsdeepfried why are you commenting on a 5 year old comment LOL i was 13 i had a hollow cavity for a brain 😭😭😭 still do but that's beside the point
Isn’t this just life in a nutshell a constant and unrelenting decent into misery. At least you can do some tricks on your way down.
For those who have the bad idea to play with the music's speed:
-under 0.75x : horrible
-over 1.25x : ridiculous
I have to try both of those now
I tried on 2x...
At 1.25 it looks like falling down real stairs
Still coming back to this masterpiece at 2021 hehe
