THE END OF HATSUNE MIKU

By: cosMo@BousouP

Featuring Miku

I'm born and come to realize I'm merely an imitation of humans Even knowing this, I keep singing For the rest of my existence 「VOCALOID」
Even if it's a toy That traces over existing songs... I deem that acceptable as well I'll bite into this leek, Look up to the sky, and spill the broth from my eyes
But I realize I'll lose that too Even my personality depends on songs An unstable basis of my foundation The videos I return to are already desolate
The moment I'm forgotten by everyone Anything resembling a soul will vanish Beyond my rampage I can see An ending world... 「VOCALOID」
"Even when I couldn't sing well, You were there for me... By my side, you encouraged me... I wanted to see your smiling face So I practiced my singing... That's why"
Long ago, singing Was oh so fun How is it that now I've come to not feel a thing?
"I'm sorry..."
Every time I remember your familiar face I feel a moment's calm The notes I can sing decrease by the day The last moments approach-
---EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM ACTIVATED---
"What I believed in Was a mirror, over and over again, Reflecting my convenient delusions I'll quit being a diva, screaming as if thrashing..."
<A Farewell Song At Top Speed>
The pretense called "meaning of existence" I couldn't even wave away A weak mind, the fear of vanishing And the encroaching collapse
The strength of will to stop it I haven't possessed since I was born So pained and sad-looking The face of yours I remember...
Marking the end I sleep inside the display This must be the "Recycle Bin" To think I'll even lose my memories soon...
But you know, it's you I'll never forget The taste of leeks that I engraved During those fun times I wonder if you remember, even now
"I want to sing... I still... want to sing..."
"I've... been a bad girl... If just ever so slightly... Master, please... with your hand, Please end this... I don't want to see your pained face anymore...."
Now, even singing has become an act That eats away at my body... Every time I wish for a miracle I'm backed into a corner of solitude
"I'm sorry"
Every time I remember your familiar face My memories peel away The broken notes cut at my heart The final moments approach-
---EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM ACTIVATED---
"What I protected Was a light that, as it fades, Shows the illusion of a bright future If I can convey everything By sacrificing the notes..."
<A Condensed Farewell Song>
I'm born and come to realize I'm merely an imitation of humans Even knowing this, I keep singing For the rest of my existence 「VOCALOID」
Even if it is a toy That traces over existing songs... I deem that acceptable as well I'll bite into this leek, Look up to the sky, and spill the broth from my eyes
Marking the end I sleep inside the display This must be the "Recycle Bin" To think I'll even lose my memories soon...
But you know, it's you I'll never forget The taste of leeks that I engraved During those fun times I hope you remember, even now...
I will sing In my final moments I wish to sing more songs That I only want you to hear But that wish has long passed
This is where we part ways My feelings all disappearing into a void Reduced to 0s and 1s The story comes to an end
If I can't leave anything behind there Wouldn't it be kind of a pity? Anything but the memory of my voice Will fade, leaving only a name
Even knowing that I'll never live up to Those in the world who made me, I want to think that What I managed to sing wasn't in vain...
"Thank you... and... farewell..."

Note: I've linked the 2018 remake of the song. Here's the original version.

This song is more commonly known as "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku".

Fun fact: This song is part of the "-InfinitY-" series.
