she's talking about her lack of confidence after changing her looks to become prettier, it feels like it's always not enough
also she started acting different in order to fit in so she misses how things used to be much easier without caring so much about fitting in.. seems shallow but once you feel this, it's actually awful
Hmmm i see
Hmmm i see
i’ve felt it before too ,, it’s awful and so painful. u feel like ur losing urself and your going to have to put on a facade for the rest of ur life :(
Well fitting in the society was never an easy thing I used to live in a country side with small community it was way more easier
Hmmm i see
Man, every version of this song is depressing.
Is watamote supposed to be depressing? Now i can see the 2 sides
I dont think it meant to be depressing.
but more to make you reflect upon the mains actions and reactions.
the protagonist tries so very hard to be something she hopes she can be.
at that age its can be very challenging to understand that its not so hard
you just got to put yourself out there.
I will admit, the 1st few steps are really more a leap of faith and until you click with the rhythm it can be super scary.
the saying KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) comes to mind.
Тhis version is even more depressing.
Agree
Right.
Yuu is probably the very best friend anyone could have, I mean, I've read the manga which offers more of what the anime shows, and Yuu never abandons Tomoko, even puts up with her antics and somehow tried to reconcile her with Komiyama.
I think the song's also Yuu trying to say that she doesn't want to grow up too fast and become an adult just yet- she's still unsure about herself and wants to go backwards but is afraid that her friends will leave her behind.. :(
It's weirdly depressing, but maybe it's just the way she sings it.
But she leave Tomoko behind some times in the Manga.
This is a classic cliche Japanese song writing so I wouldn't try to fit it with the anime.
She doesn't want to have to care about how she looks
Dude..
I love this version because it shows the undersided feelings of what Tomoko wants to be- insecurities about everything you do and how you're image will be once you actually become popular.
Tomoko blames others, but Yuu blames herself? I think that's what's going on.
I feel that it's the very theme of Watamote.
I think not only does she thinks she's not pretty and needs to look nicer, but she also doesn't like all the new problems she has being a popular girl and wants to just have company and friends like "back then" with Tomoko. If you look into the lyrics it's not as shallow as the song seems and neither is she.
Wow...i can relate so much to these parts:
''everybody is so beutiful,for some reason is painful,i cant be unhappy i have to try harder''
''i want to play at ease like old times with no worries''
''i have to learn more or others will leave me far behind''
''everyone is moving foward,its somewhat scary''
Same
Me too
Welcome to the group
Hey everyone!I got some news...years passed and i dont feel like this anymore.I made true friends at college and im dating a guy that loves me for who i am.So if i made it,you can do it too! ;D
@@angelchan9218 Wow I'm so happy for ya! ;D
It's really sad because this is what alot of people feel like these days...
True :/
Cutie Marxist That's stupid. Instead of dreaming about being popular and shit, just enjoy lonely life. Like i do
Novess PL No thx. I am lonely as am I and im not happy because people make fun of me being lonely and bully me. I rather have a friend in school ye know
Yuna Hina cause maybe it's the truth?
What I think the (kinda sad) translation mean
Despite being popular and pretty, she worries about her appearance and is insecure (like many normal folks). She feels everyone around her is pretty and she can't match up and wants to become pretty too (despite others saying she's hot XD). She feels like everyone is growing up fast and is ahead of her, and wants to keep up and be an adult too. Getting a boyfriend made her feel a bit more mature and relieved (but in chapter 100? I think, they break up, and hints she's no longer a virgin)
Deep down, she really wants to go back to how it was when she was a carefree middle school student that didn't care about appearance or being mature. She wants to be younger and carefree with Tomoko and co. Again.
In the manga it seems like Yuu is happiest when she doesn't have to put up a pretty front with Tomoko and her other middle school friend. (Also, in the manga in chapters after the school trip, TOMOKO STARTS MAKING FRIENDS AND BECOMES "POPULAR". And also learns her lessons along the way XD)
I think this song it's divided in three parts. The first part is when she is still that strange maybe-ugly high school girl worrying about her appearance. The second part occurs after that, after she getting prettier. Now, her worries are towards to way she acts, like a child, and the her unfitting character in her circle of "friendship". The third part is what happens in the anime.
I think she’s self conscious not insecure
She almost sounds like a vocaloid at certain points.
Yeah
+Hentai 4 Life Airi.
@@silentsheep4627 Hentai really...
It's Kana Hanazawa singing. :)
What is that?
Wow....this bring a LOT more depth to her character! Seriously though Yuu-chan is the best! (Reminds me of a few of my friends.)
The moment you see reflection of your face in screen, and think "loser"
And then you're reminded of that one Hank Hill moment from King of The Hill.
@@coronavirus333 he meant that he says that to himself when looking into black screen after video. He is one of us.
I never had that problem because im not a retard who buys glossy monitors. Matte master race.
@@novesspl5061 why do you talk about yourself in third person lol
@@ppoverheat6223 it's second person, not third. And i did that cause it sounds cooler
Watamote made me cry in every single episode. It was until the start of 9th grade (when I started to take honors classes) when I started to get anxiety like Tomoko. Tomoko and I can relate. We both have black hair that covers one eye, I also do have friends like Yuu-Chan too, but all my friends are across the world and all in a screen. This show is just, wow.
Yuu really is the only friend that always look up to tomoko even more so than tomoko herself. Even though tomo think she is an idiot, she is actually know tomoko's inner struggle. She never once offer tomoko for help concerning her social problem cause she know how pridefull tomo can be. Regardless she always help whenever tomo need something (comfort her by going along with tomoko's harrasment lol) . Hearing this song and reading the manga we know how Yuu too find comfort by being with tomoko the most and doing her best to attend the same university as her despite her not so well in studying.
Wow, this is just as sad as the first version. :( I didn't ask for these feels ;__;
Kayaana13 except it now sounds that way.
Apparently it is the flipside of the official soundtrack version of the Watamote anime ending. In essence, Yuu is singing about how she wants to keep up with her high school peers, but deep down misses her old geeky days hanging out with Tomoko and not worrying about being cute.
For me, it really makes me take a second look at Yuu. It's a sad song, really. Since we get Tomoko's perspective, it is easy to forget that Yuu deep down yearns for those simpler days when she could be true nerdy herself.
It also kind of reminds me of Nemo's past struggle trying to conceal her inner otaku from her normal friends
If only the spin off has animated version 😢
Huh. Guess the difference is Yu changed her outward appearance to be appealing but still is the shy anime manga fan like tomoko.
Its hard work to look good.
Hey maybe Yu can do the makeover for Tomoko. Knowing Tomoko probably would question why she has to change when people "should" accept who Tomoko is the way she is.
But the world is not so kind. I wonder how Yu would be if she didn't dye her hair put makeup on spray purfume and wear cute outfits. And I wonder if Tomoko could handle that everyday.
Read the manga you see old Yuu a lot and she didn't do that stuff before
You may look for the 13th episode of the show, only released on a special edition of a DVD of Watamote. It's on the internet, look for it. I watched on 9anime.
im crying this hits deep
What's very interesting about Yuu's version of the song is that, like Tomoko, this is all in her head and it's pretty safe to assume that she's the only person holding herself back from her own happiness. Hell, maybe Yuu probably thinks that Tomoko is completely fine and happy how she is right now, just like how Tomoko believes the same about Yuu.
They may be and look pretty different now, but Tomoko and Yuu still share the trait of caring too much about reaching this never ending goal. It's easy to see why these two have stayed friends.
Overall, really comes to show that no matter how fine people may look with their lives, most people still have their own obstacles and insecurities that form part of their day to day lives.
I didn't expect such a message from this song, its easy to understand the message its trying give, no matter how confident/pretty/secure people may look they all have problems, insecurities or feelings that even if everything looks correct, people might judge them in secret, so remember to appreciate and respect people 😉
this series is so damned cynical, haha.
i find it unfortunate how only this song really adds to hidden depths Yuu could have potentially had. (especially when considering that she used to have her own little 4 koma spin off in the past) but remains a joke character overall.
while tomoko obviously just looks back at those times as being equally awful to the current, it appears that Yuu treasures it and keeps it dear instead. this makes me think that even though Yuu did the "correct" transformation to the adult, social life, she misses the simplicity of being sincere and honest. the times when she just used to be her dorky self. im guessing thats also why she still seems to stick to komi and tomoko even now - it's a way for her to relax and take off the everyday facade.
being unpopular with social anxiety like tomoko is certainly terrible. but even sucessfully adulting like Yuu did is a struggle on its own. But thats what coming of age is about after all.
this is oddly depressing.
;-; welp, I just made myself cry for like the third time today. I can really relate to Yuu so much that it just really hurts. I feel like I've been crying all day over the same things, day in and day out. I wish I had her ability to face it as gracefully as she seems to. To bounce back. For as worried as she is about everything, she doesn't let it get to her and break her down into tears. I wish I had her strength. I'm trying, I really am!! it's just so hard not to cry... I get overwhelmed so much.
Don't worry, it's normal. I hope you're doing good
@@ratonagotica9447 that was an unexpected surprise thank you!! ;;
actually yeah, I am doing a lot better by comparison this week. Things are still rough but I'm doing my best to breathe and remember to break stuff down into more manageable chunks first. It's been helping a lot and I've been getting much more done and feeling better for it.
i'm sure yuu cries off screen. we all cry. it's okay!
i know this is 3 years late, but still, and i hope you're alright
holy shit. never thought that yuu's character had that depth, in the manga she never talks about herself actually.
I'll be late for our arrangement have to send a message saying "I'm sorry"
I forgot to paint my lips
What should I do? Should I stop somewhere on the way and fix it?
But for a girl
It's a little embarassing
My reflection in the train's window
Today my bangs look strange
I want to fix them right away
'Cause... it looks strange doesn't it?
Everyone is so beautiful
For some reason it's painful
I can't be unhappy I have to try harder
Can I become pretty? If only I could be pretty...
Want to be... I want to be!
Can I become pretty? If only I could be pretty...
Don't want to be like I am now
Always always have worries on my mind
Strange? Am I strange?
Always always have worries on my mind
I wonder if I care too much?
I want to play at ease like old times with no worries
Finally I have a boyfriend. I'm relieved
Of course of course being alone is sad
Doing things like calling each other going on dates that make my heart thump
I know I got to have fun
I worry a little I worry quite a bit. Things that everyone does...
I must be not doing any single one of them
Who can explain this to me? I feel gloomy
I have to learn more or others will leave me far behind
Everyone is moving forward
It's somewhat scary
Still I want to get along well
Can I become an adult? Probably... I have to
Able … I'm capable?
Can I become an adult? Probably... I have to
That's what I'm supposed to be!
I want to have carefree conversations. It used to be much easier in the past
(SPOKEN)
If only I could stay as a middle-schooler forever
Hello? Sorry I'm in a train right now
Yeah a friend
Really? Sorry I'll call you back some other time
If something happens come to me for advice
It's dangerous you two
Today was fun
Thanks for giving me a tour
Looks like I'll be late for our meeting (I'll send a text saying "Sorry!")
My makeup looks awful (Need to find a place to fix it)
Enjoying carefree conversations (If it's a good old friend?)
Enjoying carefree conversations
Can I become pretty? If only I could be pretty...

Thanks, I'm going to send this to my friend now.
Depression: 100
I love the fact these two both reflect different facets of the insecurities of girls their age. It can be so easy to think that other people have it better, but you don't hear their thoughts
Look at Tomoko over there
feelings... ;-;
Oh I didn't notice.
My Japanese is very poor, but in the intermission it feels like there's a difference in tones. Assuming my earphones aren't in the wrong ears, the right ear sounded like it was using more formal Japanese (like the adult Yuu) while the left was more informal and childlike (like Yuu when she hung out with Tomoko). Of course, I could be miles off. I don't know
lyrics are so sad just like my life :(
same :(
+Cutie Marxist same
we are fucking broken ....
Me too except the lonely part I have a boyfriend but barley friends
After reading the latest chapter, i can't help but thing that Yuri also deserve her own version of this song
i swear i can see tomoko in the background
I want a season 2 so badly ending it on season 1 just leaves a depressing feeling man
this song ugh both the yuu and tomoko version are amazing
When the social regret music hit different
KanaHana is love
Kana hanazawa puts big effort in everything she does, amazing seiyuu
Yuu is honestly my favorite character in the series. She's a "bitch" according to Tomoko but is still her best friend.
I can't relate to this song nearly as much as I can to the original, and yet I find myself liking it even better...
Thank you for making the translation for this song. I've liked it, but to hear what it means... ; _ ;
So sad ; _ ;
I'm 5 years late but you can turn on closes captions and it's in english ! :D
I just realised that Yuu is pretty much the same as Tomoko.. if Tomoko realized her issues but worked too hard to fix them
I'm seriously crying because the lyrics are however about my past.
i just discovered this version and.. wow. im blown away. i used to relate more to tomo in the fact that i always felt like an idiot, and thought i'd never feel better. but now that ive recovered from severe depression and traumas, im still overly anxious, and depression still lurks in the back of my head, yknow?. i worry so much about how i look. i know that it doesn't matter, but it does at the same time. pretty privilege is a real thing, and i have to make up for the fact that i dont have a pretty body with unnatural things to make me pretty. the feeling of missing friendship, too, wanting close and emotionally deep friendships, but feeling like i cant be open about my own problems and self with current friends. the fact that ive had those EXACT thoughts about my bangs needing to be fixed too, like what?? like the desire to be pretty enough. just wanting to look presentable despite my natural face and body. worrying about how to socially interact. overthinking just how to say HI. and like feeing so disconnected from my emotions just because i feel like i cant talk to people about it, because it'd be weird to be emotionally open with some people, how would they react, feeling like i have to keep on pretending to be okay. pretend that nothing bad has ever happened to me. SORRY YUU IS JUST LIKE ME FR AAAAAA
how do i relate to both this and the original
Everyone need a yuu on her side..i read the manga and its soo good
This anime is so sad even the song is
This actually made me cry. I don't think I've ever related harder w a song.. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this hit a spot I didn't know it would dang
The choice when we want to change and fit in we risk it all. Not knowing that we lose so much changing so much. Wishing we can go back to our older realistic unique cringe self. Even when we were cringe we miss everything about ourselves. Just to be cooler but its always a fast lane without rest. Fun but it feels like forever living a lie. When will we reach the our peak? When will be happy with ourselves? My friends will they still be my friends? To be a shadow of yourself until you return. (how many years has it been?) you succeeded but you're just empty inside now. - Middle/High School Years.
strange how this version is sadder comparing to tomoko's, though there's no doubt how tomoko is sadder and more lonely than yui.
It's probably because we already know how tomoko is, a sad depressed girl. Meanwhile we don't much about Yuu
It's like a cheerful friend that actually has a sad and depressing life
It's more wistful
this song is so sad
we the weird ones, weebs and such, like to think we're the most oppressed, but really normies are in their own hell
a hell of their own building that they enforce on each other daily
we are the ones who have defected from that, and they are the ones cooperating to it
that song's a great work of normie empathy
Normies, weebs, it doesn't matter, it never did. In the end, everyone suffers
🤓
thats painful to read but yeah everyone have their own problems going on

Hell this is sadder than tomoko's version
Wasn't Yuu Chan's voice actor the person who sang renai circulation?
The Unfunny White Kid big yes
My favorite seiyuu
Well know I have see monogatari
yesss kana is best singer
Wait isn’t that actor supposed to be IRyS as of right now? Because I could’ve sworn I’ve heard so many people piece together that IRyS sounds like the one who sang that song. Plus the manager of Hololive EN when getting new members he always goes for some that have already been talented before.
this is nice
Im conflicted to see again.
Im sad beyond words.
Yuu-chan was blessed that Tomoko still meets with her.
When you ran to fight the race of life, It's hard to connect back to those you have left behind.
Glad to see Yuu friend with Asuka😢 Seems like Yuu doesn't really make friend in her new school. Just fake friends. Mokochii and crazy glasses Komiyama were/are still her best friends😭 But Tomoko and Komi relationship is laughable😂
The parts about being left behind hit different now that Yuu's been reintroduced to the manga...as someone who worries she's not smart enough to get into the same college Tomoko's aiming for.
The voice is so cute
I guess normies have problems too
must agree on this one, the anime shows no happy end, which is pretty accurate.
Closed Channel Kapalı Kanal only fucking losers use the word "normie"
Only normies get offended by being called a normie
Closed Channel Kapalı Kanal the manga is amazing , tf u talking about ?
Closed Channel Kapalı Kanal If you read the chapter before the last one you'll know that tomoko isn't an normie
Never heard this before , now this changes my perspective of the character completely.
I was thinking she only went to see tomoko in ep 2 by using her to feel better about her boyfriend fight but now between all the chapters of watamote manga + tomomote i can see how she is more happy around tomoko than with her group of stacys.
Knowing how dumb she is , she also probably has to try hard to not look like it so people dont call her stupid.
Tomoko called it retarded a few times in her mind tho, but still yuu-chan is the most precious thing to her right now.
Now she wants to go to the same college as tomoko.
On the cram school , she was legit happy when they ended in the same class which kind of shows how important tomoko is for her.
I guess yuri version would have been her not understanding people and people not being ablr to understand her.
Nemo would have been to try to put a mask while not being too close to people so she doesnt get hurt
If we’re not gonna get a season 2, we should at least get a Yuu Chan spinoff
謎の今オススメ。
花澤香菜さいこおやで
Bro, actually this is so sad, good that in the manga She's having More adventures with Kuroki and a lot of diferent friends
Sorry to intrude but you have a long name
Wonder, Yuu loves to hear Tomoko & Komiyama stories about their school life & friends but Yuu never tell them about her own...
why , , have i listened to this so mcuh
I didn't know this existed, wow.
i was wondering why the voice sounded familiar and realized it’s the voice of kana! same voice of chiaki, nogi sonoko, and the singer of renai circulation
Wow! I didn't know there was a Yuu version of this XD It's beautiful😍😍😍
Kana Hanazawa!! ❤
she's actually very precious, i can relate to her
I guess this comment section is the depression club. Well, hi group! I'm be happy-I mean sad- to be here!
I came a long way since I used to listen to this, was in the verge of suicide. Things never change, still would shoot my brains out, but that guilt stops me. Life is worth living, but it’s a bitch to be a part of.
Good job (｡♥‿♥｡)
It looks like Tomoko has no arms in this picture and now I can't unsee it...
What have you done to me?!?!?!!? I CAN'T unsee it now and forever........
That's because she won't give a hand to Yuu to help her.
This is so sad and I can relate ): almost started crying
It's really interesting to think how Yuu-chan and Moko-chi became friends. I think this song is about how Yuu-chan struggles with the idea of growing up and looks back a the times she spend with Tomoko with nostalgia, wishing to go back to those times where she also was a basket case.
Is there any anime that deals with a female character fitting in a high school in a "realistic way?" I want an anime like yuu's situation basically. (can be any genre)
With the lyric this version is even more beautiful than it was, and I think I really feel so with some things it says in the lyric, thank you very much for taking your time in subtiling it.
Thank you for your work!
I feel bad for tomoko in the background back turned in the dark in the picture of this vid you can tell shes sad and in the darkness alone i wanna shine light on her and come to her rescue, but yuu done really great singing this rmx i love it
This song really explains my mentality
am i the only one daily listener?
No.
Yuu chan so freaking Cute
it would have been nice if tomoko also got a makeover 😝😍
every single line of this oh my god i relate to it so much
I can relate to this song , really depressing
i relate to this too much
i love this song
man i spent 2 hours looking for this song couldnt remember what show it was from I literally had to guess the year i heard I had no idea i could search old videos from like 6 years ago!
Her voice so deep I literally crying.
so cute
beautiful
I thought this one would be more uplifting than the original, but it's just as depressing.
Yuu-chan
And why am I just finding out about this gem now?????
How did I end up here? I was only looking up the opening to Watamote and instead I find myself somewhere else...why does this happen to me so often.
When yuu-chan says that It feels im so ugly...... dam it yuu-chan!
WOW depression: the sequel???????
Ik the lyrics supposed to be sad but this a banger 🔥
KAWAII✨✨
When I look closely I see a kind of shadow of someone on the picture's left... Am I mad?
No you're not, that's Tomoko.
Potato Chan your mad
Lyon Royal >gets a mad potato superpower
Oh God What Have I Done.. *looks at my hands quivering in pain and confusion* Huh uhh huh uhh oh God It's Begun There's No Stopping this Hell now
Potato Neko the shadow looks like it hung hiself
thank you for the Lyrics I was always wondering what they were saying
on these series i was getting more and more depressed,but the last episode was more happier....
