I just found out ChikuTaku was performed at 4th Fest...
Back when I first made my Hololive fan songs, I had a dream that one day I'd get to see them performed on a stage.
That dream has come true 😭❤️ My heart is so full.
Thank you for trusting me, Ame.
『MECONOPSIS』- Ninomae Ina'nis -LYRIC BREAKDOWN THREAD
Hey everyone, I'm WUNDER RiKU, lyricist for Meconopsis!
I've also worked on a few other original Holo songs, like Astrogirl (lyrics), ChikuTaku and blue horizon (music/lyrics/production)
Let's break these down 🧵
Feels like EU has a bit of a spotlight on us right now in the VTuber world, which is so great (finally!)
So in honour of Queen Liz III, Hololive's 1st British VTuber, I thought I'd shoutout some British Vtubers you should watch!!
🧵 Spoilers, they're all cracked singers🧵

This is just the beginning of another journey ☺️
It was an honour to write music for you, Astrogirl.
How am I supposed to explain to my work colleagues that I'm more invested in Austria than my own national team because I wanna see a toxic 2D anime girl pop off whilst screaming "sit the fuck down" and "go home and cry in the shower" to the rest of Europe?

That's so important 🧵
I was so happy when the song found a home with KinPuri, & Kaito-san's lyrics are so beautiful!
I am a British songwriter who has always dreamed of writing J-Pop!

Gonna get a little vulnerable about something completely trivial for a sec, but I just wanna know if anyone else feels this too.
It honestly feels like Discord would be the perfect place for me to flourish and share all the specialist interests I have with like-minded people.
If I had a pound for every anti-pdf file song that became a cultural landmark in the last year, I'd have 2 pound.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Oh Sana 🥺 It was such an honour to have had the opportunity to make music for you. Best of luck in finding your path in life! You will always be our Astrogirl! 🌟🌌⭐

This makes my heart so full! It can be nerve-wracking when Japanese lyrics are written to your song... you hope the writer understood the emotions you tried to convey. Kaito-san understood perfectly & made it personal in a beautiful way. I hope to work with KP again one day, too!
Anyone know the best way to ship J-Pop CDs to the UK?

I love how the national embarrassment of the Chinese soccer team is sometimes seen as a good thing, as they're shouldering the negative karma/bad luck of the whole nation so that China can be successful in other areas.
Like they're doing a public service by being so terrible lol
Omfg I was today years old when I realised "BRB I have an idol meeting" is NOT LITERAL & is a euphemism for using the bathroom 😭
All this time I'm like "I hope it won't take too long but I'm sure it's important" BRUH THEY'RE PEEING

Ame worked so hard to make this project a success & the fact she entrusted this song to me just cos I made a fansong is a testament to her character.

I've spent weeks listening to every single song from every single Disney animated musical, and I've ranked them all from worst to best on a scale of 0-500, based on 1) lyrics, 2) music, 3) vocals, 4) plot integration, and 5) subjective enjoyment.

I can't wait to watch Ina's performance~ I hope you all enjoyed the song once more!

Like I mentioned in my message on Ina's stream, the main theme of this song was inspired by
@mazumaro
's Myth's Bad Ending, except I wanted to show a reality where Ina fought the influence of the Ancient Ones just in time.
🎧NEW RELEASE🎧

Had a fun chat about Holo, not something I get to do often! Made my day 😊
1 year since the Astrogirl fan cover released.
It was an honour to be a part of & to hear my lyrics be re-interpretted for something so meaningful.
It was also the 1st thing I sang after having COVID. Barely made the deadline!
Sana is greatly missed but remembered so fondly

Seriously though, I'm actually a huge fan of Trash Taste, so this made my day!
So I drew a lot from Call of Cthulhu as inspiration to describe the influence of the AO on Ina.
The Meconopsis 'blue poppy' is a metaphor for Ina throughout, representing faith and the unreal as blue flowers often do. This concept came from Ina as a spiritual successor to Violet
Gonna get a little vulnerable about something completely trivial for a sec, but I just wanna know if anyone else feels this too.
It honestly feels like Discord would be the perfect place for me to flourish and share all the specialist interests I have with like-minded people.
Today was wonderful and something I had dreamed of for a long, long time! 💚🩷
I am so proud of myself, but now it's time to create new goals to aim for! There's no stopping this panda now! 🐼
Thank you for supporting me towards my dreams!
"The heavenly fairy drops their last petal"
'Tenjō no yōsei' lit. "Heavenly Fairy' is one Japanese name for the Meconopsis flower. I also thought it was a great metaphorical name to represent Ina.
Her last petal dropping represents Ina reaching the end of what she can endure
Also having a full anime video to a song I wrote has been top of my bucket list for over a decade AND I'M STILL NOT QUITE OVER IT
@TonariAnimation
you guys are something else 😭🙏💙
Verse 1 immediately ties the blue poppy and Lovecraftian themes together. The 'infinite black seas' is taken from Call of Cthulhu as it describes the fear of the unknown, the bliss of ignorance and the horror of truth.
Today I said goodbye to a friend who passed in December.
I played at a music festival to celebrate his life.
He was one of the most incredible musicians I've ever met & deserved a full life of music.
These last 6 months, he was my inspiration to relentlessly pursue my dreams
I did the instrumental and mix for 'Our Reverie', the Machiroons' original song for McFlyon's birthday 🥳
This was a really fun project to be a part of, I hope you enjoy the song!
The news on this keeps getting better!!
Not only will it likely be released as early as October, but it's going to be lead single!!!
Lead singles are so hard to get in Japan, and even harder for international writers. Huge achievement for myself and my co-writers. HYPE 🥳
Just got a confirmed cut for one of these!!!! Get ready for another mainstream J-Pop release from WUNDER RiKU (and hopefully this one will be available to stream 🤞) 🎵
Ina realises the truth and horror of the AO's intentions, at first feeling helpless and wondering if she has forsaken too much of her own humanity to change things.
I'll be showing some approximate JP translations below, apologies if I'm not 100% accurate, I'm still learning 🙏
The following line is Ina's own prophecy- one that challenges the Ancient Ones.
It's the prophecy of Myth 🔍🔱🐔💀🐙
When death (Calli), rebirth (Kiara), time (Ame), and oceans (Gura) align with Ina, they will have the power to defeat the eldritch horror!
BONUS: My favourite Easter egg in the MV is this Lovecraft quote hidden throughout!
It's such a powerful, visceral and fragile reflection of humanity, and beautifully mirrors Ina's overcoming of fear but rebelling against the eternal gods.
At least, that's my head-cannon.
BONUS BONUS
You might call it a stretch, but I really love how the colour blue connects to Ina and the Ancient Ones
AOI/AO = blue
AO = Ancient Ones
With Ina being the "Aoi Keshi", the blue poppy, it's like the Ancient Ones are a part of her- the Ao in the Aoi.
Look who I found in my Christmas stocking 🔎
Ame Nendoroid was a surprise gift my from parents (they got one for themselves too hehe)
Crazy to think ChikuTaku will be 1 year old in a few weeks!
Happy Holidays 🎄

My heart is so full 💙
VTubing is having a renaissance in the UK 💙
@PROMlNENCES
@Kisama785
"death may die" is another Lovecraft quote, describing how these Eldritch entities are beyond even death.
Ina is saying that even though the AO may be beyond death, so is love.
Also... "Is Now And For Forever" is capitalised in my lyrics for a reason lol
INAFF!!
As soon as I heard that melody, I knew what word I wanted to start the chorus with lol.
The chorus gets to the heart of the conflict, Ina rejecting her Gods and choosing love, joy and her friends.
'Aoi keshi' (青いケシ) is a more literal JP name for the blue poppy
So I wasn't able to watch
