- wow. this song was extremely hard to write translyrics for. the cadence at which miku sings makes it so that a syllable-per-syllable composition method would make it take FOREVER and also be nearly impossible, but i like to think i did a pretty good job. they're singable, but certainly takes a bunch of practice- can't be helped, although you can see the lyrics here: pastebin.com/YZ8j3KMQ
needless to say i am not translyricizing another nashimoto song for a while! (well.. i have everybody love sally and playing alone in the works. but who knows.)

edit 2: i just released translyrics for My Honey in the Tragic Dimension. if you liked enko girl, i think you're going to like that one. here's the link: czcams.com/video/Lhkzxa5Iu0o/video.html
edit: WE REACHED 200K????? WOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! one of my translyrics having 204k views (as of writing this) is a huge achievement for me. i'm still alive and i'm working on a few lengthy projects, including one with a famous nashimoto song. i think you will really like it. it's sort of like enko shoujo, but... you'll see when it's out. i'm also possibly entering a stage of my life where i have time to upload like i used to again. in the final push of something big.
i really enjoy it when people share how they feel about the song, or the lyrics, or what they think it's about. i read every comment i get. though you are but one viewer, you have made my journey a lot better. thank you again.
old post:
we are nearing 200k views now. 10 months ago, i made a post saying i was trying to think of something to do to celebrate this milestone. i'm still thinking about it, but it probably won't be on youtube and very few will see it.
this means a lot to me. i know most of you are coming here for the song and not really for the lyrics, but growing up i wrote poetry all the time. the fact so many of you saw what i consider the continuation of my work and enjoyed it is more than i've ever dreamed of. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. i also know a lot of nashimoto-p fans are on the younger side- you guys are the next generation of vocaloid fans, and it fills me with pride and joy to keep this song alive. i want to do more older songs in the future.
We reached 200k
@@xfgdf I JUST noticed, youtube doesnt notify me of replies in comments... wow. i cant thank everyone enough
So basically my interpretation of it is the 'Miku' had a friend/crush who was innocent and sweet but once they hit highschool things changed. People began to talk about sex, how to get to and do things that were over sexualized. This girl began to wear lots of makeup and her personality changed, she acted like other girls who were giving out their bodies but Miku didnt want to believe it. As time goes on rumors spread about this girl and how she is having sugar daddy type relationships, Miku is disgusted but again doesnt want to believe it, she is sure the girl is a virgin. Then oneday at the train station she sees the girl with an older man, being very close and touchy. They leave together into a dark alley where its obvious they are having a sexual encounter. Miku wants to call for her but cant find her voice. The truth crashes on her and she realizes theres nothing to be done
this is precisely what's happening in the song, so good job! there's another video of this, an MV made by a fan of the song, and precisely what you described plays out.
this song makes so much more sense to me now!! thank you
I had a simular thought
i may be a year late but it's also about pedophiles
i also think it's about miku kind of wanting to experience what her friend is initially into
The "I LOVE ME" at the end gives me the idea that she was not a third party in the story, but rather the Enko Girl herself, she was singing as she was reminiscing her childhood days before she got messed up. But lemme replay the music and try make a better analysis.
oh the "LOVE ME" is just supposed to be what the enko girl is begging the man she knows is just using her body for sex for love instead. it's a creative liberty i took with the translation
It’s and interesting idea but the use of the pronoun “boku” throughout the song means that it’s probably not the anjo girl singing
i agree... idk why but i feel like she's talking about herself here, but the other interpretation makes sense as well....
This song for me, standing from a complex position on it… is definitely self-referential. For me it feels like she’s talking about herself as the girl, the conflict between her desire to be needed and her sense of innocence (which is speaking)
But it’s not the logical or easy explanation.
i was writing a whole essay, my mind broke, so I'll just say this. i think the song is about how both hormones and society pressure people into relationships *when* and *that* they don't want to have.
I feel like she is the Enko girl herself and is referring to her past self as someone entirely different as to seperate herself from those traumatic moments and as shes now an adult she’s been discarded from those kinds of relationships because she’s now “unattractive” to them and she’s looking back on those traumatic moments, idk just a theory
SHE JUST LIKE ME FRFR.....
@@kugiekizuchi. i know this comment is old but OMG YTTD MENTIONED IN YOUR NAME
@@sillycatlover666 i used to be a huge yttd fan it was my hyperfixation for like 5 years but it kinda died out now 😭😭 still like it tho
Thank you, rayman.
sorry, i never saw your comment! this is a very interesting perspective + i like it
Crazy how a song from like 9 years ago, that I used listen to a lot when I was in early highschool, is getting discovered all over again
4:00 this is fire🔥🔥🔥
it certainly is :)
Thank you so much for the translation. I used to listen to this song a few years ago and I remember that I liked it very much, although I never understood what it said NANFBS I'm glad that there's people that still listen to this song :')))
these were freaking awesome!! im a huge nashimoto fan and as someone who doesnt understand Japanese i really appreciate the translation
4:02 is my favorite
same
i want you, what a crappy osunding wish
4:02
I I I love you
4:07
I I I miss you
4:11
I I I want you
So, I see multiple interpretations of the song, and I feel like the only one who see that such interpretation so imma explain it. (Also ik it might be wrong but yeah) So what I thought this song was about is that maybe miku started developing some crush on some other girls, at a time where everyone else talk about adult fun time stuff. So like, miku would maybe not into that sort of stuff except that girl would yes indeed as other interpretations, develop a sugar daddy relationship with some dudes. And miku wouldn’t believe it and would be sad and stuff because of that due to the rumors of the relationship with the girl and the random man she’s with. I’m not going to explain further I think y’all can see what I mean
why not? i think this song is open for interpretation and i actually really appreciate it when people come up with their own. so thanks! definitely an interesting take!
THANK YOU LIKE YOU MADE SINGABLE LYRICS!!! ^^
THANK YOU for +100k views! im trying to think of something to do w the song to celebrate but i dont wanna spoil any surprises...

Fr tho
The moment you all came for
4:00 finally found the part
this is so lovely
thank you!
This song is a banger honestly
my aroace soul loves this song sm
i never realized this song was basically an ace anthem LOL
@@117lyrics BAHAHA I've been telling my friends about this song and how I interpret it in a COMPLETELY different way than ppl use to.
in my head this song is about a girl who sees her friends starting to go through the transition from child to teenager, basically the whole experience of puberty and how hormones can affect people.
however, although she feels the differences, she does not feel a genuine desire to have sex or have a romance, so much so that she finds it disgusting, and even so she still tries very hard to have this desire, because that's what everyone feels except her.
the "I love you, I miss you, I want you" and how she says that these words are stupid and meaningless only shows this more clearly, she speaks in an attempt to feel something and fails at it.
it's like a frustrating feeling of wanting to love, touch, feel someone, but not being able to. anyway, it's just how I interpret the song! but it's really the aromantic and asexual experience for me, so this song means a lot to me hah
@@temporarilyme this is a great interpretation! growing up, i felt the same way about sexuality as what you described. i think that was part of what drew me to write these lyrics. the song seems to have resonated with a lot of people and in many different ways. if you liked this about enko shoujo, i think you may like my next upload. its a nashimoto song that is similar, yet... different. but i have a feeling you will like it
@@117lyrics gotta subscribe then, i need more content
4:01 is best part for me weee
Love how at 2:16 the words are (kinda) in a shape of a heart

@@117lyricsI'm surprised I'm the first cuz this vid was posted like 3 years ago-
@@A-THE_5_ROOMIES i'm surprised as well. but this video blew up on instagram (so i was told) and i think most people were focused on the i i i love you moment so they missed it. either way, i always like it when people notice subtles things in the editing, even if it was a while back so thank you
@@117lyrics Np
this is really beautiful sounding
this is really good!
enko(エンコー), a term created by japanese pedophiles to not use the term "teenage prostitution". It's a messed up song
it is, yes. some people forget this song shows a very frightening side of humanity because miku is the one singing if
TYSM FOR THE ENGLISH LYRICSSSS
thank you for watching! there's an instrumental/karaoke of this song on my channel if you want to give it a try LOL
i don't understand why the comments on this video specifically seem to have such a romanticized/metaphoric interpretation of this song, and nothing about the more blatant subject of avoiding your female classmate through high school while jacking off to her becos you're disgusted by her "deviancy" of being sexually exploited and not admitting you've always had a crush on her, and regretting this when you're still obsessed with her as an adult? really i think assuming the song's perspective is from that of the girl just because it uses miku's voicebank is rather shallow
i agree with the spirit of your take but i dont think youre right about jacking off to her then stopping liking her bc youre disgusted by her being sexually exploited. its a massive stretch and quite frankly a complete oversimplification of the song:
- first and foremost, the singer does admit to themselves they have had a crush on her for a long tim!. the chorus describes the singers struggle with carnality/sexual urges and not getting what they want (satisfaction and relief from those urges through her). just because it isnt laid out literally doesnt mean it isnt heavily implied!
- secondly, no this is not about the singer being disgusted by the deviancy of sexual exploitation. at the 4:00-ish mark the singer isnt saying its embarrassing and vile because shes sexually exploited, theyre saying its embarrassing and vile because they clearly have massive issues with their urges and have gone through puberty in a terrible way! sexuality is repudiated from the very beginning of the song and we get a clear hint as to why in the chorus as well as the first verse: back when they were in middle school and when they were "kids", there was no such notion of sexuality or sexual exploitation to begin with. the first verse of the song explores the contrast between innocence and carnality. its not about how much of a crush hes had on her and stops liking her
- the overall theme of the song is NOT "i liked this girl but i found out shes being sexually exploited so now i dont". thats not how it starts nor how it ends. ultimately only nashimoto can tell us what he meant with this song, BUT as the one who wrote the translyrics and stayed as true to the original lyrics as possible, the overall theme is a looooot more like "puberty hit me like a brick and i grew up both cowardly and perverted, and now after all these years realizing this girl just gave herself to a rich man this only convinces me adulthood is rotten". also if it were as simple as youre describing why would the singer - practically an incel if were going by your take - not believe the rumors he heard? even though the singer saw her years ago with that old man they still took many years to accept it
nowhere in the song is the girl blamed or described as a terrible person for being sexually exploited the song is not about that... at the end of the song, both the girl and the old man are referred to as demons from the perspective of the singer.
+ lastly you have no idea how old that girl was, an enko shoujo is a young girl who dates older men for their money its never said "while we were in high school she started dating men for money". its implied theyre both young adults and your take is extremely black-and-white: are sugar babies all sexually exploited? if anything, its heavily implied if not flat-out said witnessing the girl as an enko shoujo happened AFTER graduating from high school, at which point they are both adults, at least according to both the original and translyricized lyrics.
overall im no one to tell you what is right and what is wrong in interpreting this song. your interpretation is your own. but i really hope you can come to see this song for more than what youve described because it feels like an incredibly shallow simplistic take on the song. all ive said is not a defense of the singer or their ideals, like i said they have a lot of problems and yet many people can relate to this song because it symbolizes the loss of youth and innocence...
@@117lyrics ah, i do get what you're saying here but i think this is mostly an issue of me leaving my comment to be as brief as possible and not getting into it giving the impression that i said all that with an overall negative or bad faith view of the song's narrative, especially since i wasn't really trying to give a 1:1 on what 'happens' in the song. rather i wanted to comment on the sometimes contradictory and muddy and oftentimes harsh to describe feelings nashimoto-p conveys in these sort of songs, if that makes sense?
@@ebitachy absolutely! i completely understand what you mean. this song is one of his most intense and when i show it to someone outside of the vocaloid sphere i have to tell them im not someone who thinks sex work is evil or that being sexually abused makes someone worth "less" as a person. i share your sentiment and a lot of people just completely miss the point of the song in the opposite way to what i thought you meant, others will take away "sex = bad" when im personally very... not even tolerant (not saying im intolerant read on) bc people shouldnt have to be tolerated by anyone, i just put the sanctity of free will above all so as long as youre not directly harming anyone do what you want! but as im saying a lot of people will take the simplistic approach youve described very well
@@ebitachy also i hope i didnt come off the wrong way or give you the impression your opinion was dumb bc it sure as hell isnt. im happy to get comments other than "4:01" LOL anyway you dont need to answer this im just happy you cleared the air and yeah youre 100% right, a lot of people interpret this song terribly. i get way grumpier in comments when im part of the audience so i feel you lol
Metamorphosis
Gradual or not
screams in ur head
I finally found the song! I love this song!!💖💖
aa i love this song!!! new sub!
Everyone’s talking abt 4:02 but what abt 4:35 - 4:56 and 2:52 -352
TRUE!
as an asexual that's kinda what how I felt in highschool about my colleagues
i'm very happy you can personally find something in the song that resonates with you! thank you for listening and watching ❤
relatable
commenting on someone else's account just to agree because this comment resonates with me so much. i feel you as a fellow asexual.
relatable
@@denpamen yeah that's what I was thinking too what
does anyone know if there's any higher quality versions of Nashimoto-P's works? all the content I can find online is typically quite muffled, and sounds old.
sadly it's made like this on purpose
@@n4tali4 rip 💔💔
hey, sorry for some reason YT never notified me of your comment. mikudb is your best bet, but on my end i can assure you i always use at least 320kbps mp3 files and lossless FLAC/WAV whenever i can find them. that being said it sounds a bit clearer than on youtube but that's just youtube's processing. so yeah, mikudb and try to play the files in VLC or software of the sort. also what kind of headphones do you rock? you could equalize them to get a clearer sound
@@117lyrics Thank you for replying!! I use WH-1000XM3 headphones. I'll try all that you recommended too
nashimoto really goes for a less produced, more crunchy muffled noise in his music.. a bit like it was recorded like old punk songs and honestly probably was when it comes to how he records guitar
i really enjoy the way he distorts it but i get why some people wouldnt! but theres really no way to get a super high quality noise when it was meant to sound like this deliberately
Ahhh The subtitles are too fast for me who don't have English as a first language, I couldn't find the lyrics written in full somewhere so I still don't understand anything haha
hi, here's the link to my translyrics. bear in mind this is an interpretation and a translation at the same time, so the meaning isn't LITERALLY the same but it means the same thing
pastebin.com/YZ8j3KMQ
4:01 there is
3:57 is the part some people might be looking for idk
4:39 is my favorite part personally
underrated
4:00 is what your looking for
I rlly like nashimotop songs (>_
5:30 SOUNDS SO GOOD
i lvoe this song :)
@@marspIanet that makes more than two of us at the very least
5:33 isn't it "I need you" instead of "I miss you" ?
good question. ive played it back 10 times so far and i am absolutely convinced its i miss you. vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/エンコー少女_(Enkoo_Shoujo) says its ai ai ai nii chuu but the sibilance is too strong for that imo, must be an error in the transliteration. best bet would be to ask nashimoto himself
4:02
People are looking for 4:01
4:02 don’t mind me just marking something :33
4:00 and 5:00 are my favorite parts no one can tell me otherwise

Is this song on Spotify?? I can't find it
hey, sadly this isn't on spotify- nashimoto would have to add it to that platform. however you can download an mp3 of this song and manually add it to your spotify
I can't find it on Spotify 🙁
Use musi
it's not on spotify
3:15 my fav part
the hardest part of that song's lyrics' writing process to me! thank you! i think you're the only one who ever said that so i really appreciate it x_x
wow... i am.
same tbh
Is this about her not wanting to accept becoming an adult and wanting to stay pure but it’s slowly withering away?
that is something i felt a lot when i wrote the lyrics for this song. so maybe! i don't think even nashimoto could tell us at this point. this song has clearly resonated in so many different ways with so many people. it's art
the song is about compensated dating: young women who go out with men for money and gifts-like sugar babies, in america.
“enko” is the shortened term for “enjo kōsai”, meaning “compensated dating”. “shoujo”, meaning “girl”, tells us the one partaking in compensated dating is a teen.
the one saying “i love you/i need you/i want you” is the older man, the replies being from the school girl.
of course you can interpret songs to mean anything you like, i am just sharing the original story behind what was written.
@@wallbrea_d ah, tysm it makes much more sense now!!
this song reminds me of 177013 :(
Same :'(
same, it reminds me of "i want to be hurt by love" too
I had just searched that and now I’m traumatised for life 😢
i loved that manga. i was fucking sick and at a lowest point in my life but i saw myself a little too much in the protagonist, horrible times.
@@foundationsofdecays im sorry you went thru that, i get the feeling of liking disturbing things like that
Anyone have the romanji lyrics?
What does enko mean?
huh, could have sworn i answered your comment. enko is a district in japan where girls go to sell their bodies- so an enko shoujo means a prostitute
"Enjo kōsai" is a type of transactional relationship, It's not always about sex but most of the time it is and that's why nowadays is an illegal practice in japan.
In short "Enko"
Compensated dating
goo shit
4:01 My favorite part begins >:)
(Jk I love all of the song)
im the 100th like!!!
thank you so much! i can't believe this has so many views haha
Não gosto dessa música, me deixa triste. Eu não gosto de ficar triste
i’m not hating but the people saying enko girl is her is so confusing because how could she be attracted to herself and talk about herself like that??? likeee
@@star39sam i don't think you're hating. i think that when people say they think enko girl is her, they mean she could be recounting how that boy feels about her, or even how she feels about herself. i hate preaching, but i think it's worth remembering that being an enko girl/doing SW can be harmful for some people's self-image as they grow (though this doesn't apply to everyone). as for the attraction you speak of, i think it works both as how she thinks that boy felt but also as a contrast between her external beauty and what she sees as inner corruption
thank you for the comment- i appreciate being able to critically engage with this song years after writing this interpretation.
