[MARETU] ファシネイター (Fascinator) ft. 初音ミク English Subs.

Any ads placed before or after this video are not intentionally placed, I respect Maretu and I love his work Copyright infringement is not intended, only used for translation. If requested by management/Maretu, will gladly take down. Please refer to the email listed in my YouTube Bio NEW MARETU SONG JUMPSCARE!! Ofc I have to return to translate it! I’m a little late as some translations have already popped up but I tried to get all the lyrical vagueness that I’m aware of portrayed in the lyrics! With my interpretation of the song, it’s quite sad seeing as it seems to speak a lot of MARETU’s experiences as a producer. As someone who respects MARETU as a creator and is heavily inspired by his work, please remember he is a human being like you and I as well! You can appreciate him but do not idolize him and put unwarranted pressure to keep up his reputation and image! Take the translation with a grain of salt :D description will be updated with notes! I do NOT own this song, all credit to MARETU! https://youtu.be/UShV3NXq00U?si=gz1584Ou0OUbkISq Notes: •While a direct translation of the title ファシネイター would be “Fascinator”, the イター here in Hiragana is a direct past tense participle meaning “was/were doing” so l also can see the title being the past tense of “Fascinated” •The hands while meant to look like hand holding looks a lot like the kanji symbol for person: 人 My Interpretation: This clearly feels like a song directed to the fans. We beg and beg for something new from MARETU, a creator who endlessly feels he has to meet expectations of his fans. It seems he feels both happy and miserable having such a devoted fanbase that it stresses him out; afraid to lose his following because he can’t give them new music or music THEY want to hear. In a way, this sounds very similar to the way other producers like Wowaka or Hachi felt being a vocaloid producer. Kind of ironic since MARETU was heavily inspired by the two to create vocaloid music.
