【English Chorus】Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Ai // 祝福のメシアとアイの塔【10人英语合唱】

OK I'm going to explain this since I see a few confused commenters:

The faces you see them making at the end are the faces they were truly making when they took the blessings.
The reason Miku saw them as horrible, hateful faces was because they were stealing the "blessings" from her, so her brain perceived them as doing a bad deed, making their faces seem hateful when in fact they were sad.
They sacrificed themselves for her, and once you realize that, it will make sense when KAITO says "We will face all our fortune and pain as one"

この曲英語の方が良いな、、、

今も聞いていらっしゃる日本人の方居ますかね

🙋‍♂️

What if the nine are reincarnated each time and they ask that she not remember the cycle and she begs to remember everytime but the gods grant the nine the mercy of her not knowing what will happen so that their happy memories together before the time of sacrifice won't be tainted….. I am crying and blubbering like a baby :'(

2020 and im still here 🙂

im coming back years after this released again and again- this cover never fails to give me goosebumps

i still think this is one of the saddest vocaloid songs created, like damn )):

it took me a really long time to notice ; A ; but the way everyone's portraits disappears until it's just miku left…. oooh, that hurts sdklghsdkljfsd

2020 and I'm here still crying over the fact that this song has the biggest plot twist ever

Yo does Miku die at the end or…. cause her symbol disappears and shes crying sooooo um idek

How did mayu die?

this is pretty late but everyone sounds so amazing❤️ (I’m also in love with how you voice Len uwu)

I prefer the sub

4:53 you can literally see a girl’s shadow on the left side
Edit: and then she disappears

Moral of this song: God is a dick. XD

Big love from Japan!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so sad that I can only click "Like" once.

LINE DISTRIBUTION

1st – Miku(1:51.64)
2nd – Len(1:18.65)
3rd – Rin(1:05.27)
4th – Gumi(1:04.08)
5th – Kaito(51.35)
6th – IA(37.17)
7th – Mayu(35.58)
8th – Meiko(34.74)
9th – Luka(28.87)
10th – Gakupo(27.41)

the only reason why len, rin, and gumi have many lines is because of many adlibs, so they would have less lines than the others if they don't have the adlibs

and of course miku being the main character it makes sense that she gets a lot of lines

Please let me comment lyrics of this song. I am Japanese,so it’s too difficult for me to listen to the English completely.

[Kaito] In a land on the brink of its demise
[Meiko] Ten wretched children left behind
[IA] Little hands holding on to dear life [Mayu] And each other
[Gakupo] Trusting that in sickness and health
[Gumi] No matter what happens
[Rin] For what
[Rin/Luka] ever may come……
[Miku/Len] "We will face all our fortune and pain as one"
[Rin] We have all been told the story
foolish, arrogant men overstepped the boundaries of god
[Len] Heaven sent their judgement and then all was lost
[IA] In the midst of all destruction
shielding the world from ruin is the “Tower of Ai”
[Mayu] That is where the life of the earth still burns on…
[Gumi] From another distant kingdom,
came a messenger bearing a letter to the youths
[Meiko] The words of prophecy
[Miku] That the lumber cutter’s daughterwould receive the high honor:
【the next messiah】’s role
[Len/Luka] And so we will accept that fate
[IA] Within this tower
[Gakupo] Hidden far away
[IA] the blessings reside
[Gakupo] With the nine of us
[Miku/Rin] Only the messiah can retrieve the glory inside
[Kaito] So we will go with you
[Len] to the tower
[Kaito] as we all
[Len/Meiko] search for the way
[Kaito] So that our town
[Meiko] So that our world
[Rin] On the brink
[Rin/Gumi] of death can be saved
[Meiko] If you wish to bring blessing to the land
[Gakupo] Go forward with all of your heart
[Mayu] Try to hold onto glory in your hands
[Len] With all of your strength
[IA] Pressing onward alongside your trusted friends
[Gumi] Helping one another
[Mayu] Then the fear that you feel [Len/Luka(2 layers)] will all come to an end
[Miku/Rin] And the very first blessing will be
[Kaito] Inside a swirling pool of life
[Miku/Rin] the 【Blossoming Wave】 of the sea
[Kaito] And she enters now
[Miku] But another hand reaches out [Kaito] Overlapping
[Miku] And the young man [Miku/Kaito] then sung…
[Kaito] "We will face all our fortune and pain as one!" (laughs)
[Miku] The messiah could do nothing
watching as the first blessing was quickly taken away
[Meiko] From that moment friendship would turn into hate
[Miku] Entering the second chamber
Bloody red began burning within the swordsman’s eyes
[Meiko] As she took the【Fiery Feast】 by her side
[IA] Next they found the 【Graceful Sunlight】
Which was won over by older sister’s open hands, as she smiled happily
[Mayu] Running off in irritation Little sister moved towards the 【Restful Darkness】 and she would never be seen again…
[Miku] "But the prophecy said, the chosen one is me…"
[Gumi] ""Keeping it to yourself… [Gakupo] we will not allow……""
[Miku/Gumi] Just how much can someone truly be altered by greed?
[Gakupo] The monk began to chant
[Miku] a prayer to [Gakupo] the almighty [Gakupo/Luka] 【Trembling Earth】
[Gumi] And the poet wrote [Luka] to the 【Ambient [Gumi] Thunder】 her
[Gumi/Miku] most powerful words
[Rin] If you wish to bring blessing to the land
[Len] Then you must sharpen heart and mind
[Luka] Try to hold onto glory in your hands [Len] Quickly as you can
[Miku] Where have you all gone off to, my trusted friends? [Luka] Who is your enemy?
[Miku] Could it be I was wrong [Rin/Luka(2layers)] about our kindness all along?
[Rin/Luka] Now the【Whirlwind Rondo】’s taken by [Len] the dancer swaying in its air
[Miku/Rin] And the older twin leaves her brother’s side [Len] pushing him away
[Rin] Claiming the 【Silver Garden】
[Len] With joyful [Rin/Len] tears streaming down
And they freeze on her cheeks as she turns around
[Miku] With the very last blessing in front of her
[Len] The 【Quickening Magma】is about to stir
[Miku] The younger twin pretended, but in the end the messiah was lied to….
[Len] Laughing, the boy seemed to glow in his pride
[Miku] Betrayed by the companions that [IA] she had believed in
[Miku] All nine of the “blessings” in this [Miku/Luka] world have been stolen now
[Miku] Holding up a torch whose [Mayu] flame has long gone away
[Miku/Meiko] She walks up toward the altar……
[IA] Within the tower [Gakupo] Sealed out of sight [IA] the “blessings” await
[Gakupo] to explain the [Mayu/Gumi] meaning of the penance that the messiah had paid
[Kaito] Carrying what you have lost [Len] to the tower [Kaito] the messiah
[Len/Luka] made it this far
[Kaito] With the single hope [Meiko] we will see the day
[Rin] our beloved [Rin/Meiko] world can restart…
[Kaito] Even as I was swallowed by the sea
[Meiko] Dancing in flames surrounding me
[IA] Even as I fell down to my knees in the drought
[Mayu] Even as I lost my mind to the dark unknown
[Gakupo] Devoured by the great earth
[Kaito/Meiko] Did you think that we would, [Gakupo/Mayu/IA] let you go on all alone?
[Gumi] Screaming out as the lightning struck me down
[Luka] Shredded in blades of the wind
[Rin] With my body and heart frozen to the ground [Len] Crawling through fire
[Gumi] Knowing that in sickness and health
[Luka] No matter what happens
[Gumi] For what [Gumi/Luka] ever may come…… [Miku] Ahhhh—-
[Rin/Len] "We will face all our fortune and pain as one!" [Miku] Ahhhh—-!!
[Miku] Here I stand to pass on the cursed torch [Kaito] nine sacrifices in her hands
[Miku] And the cycle’s completed once more [Meiko] We are not the last
[Miku] With this flame I recieved from my dearest friends [IA] Anything to help you
[Miku] I will honor their lives [Miku/Rin/IA] And bring this to an end…
[Miku/Mayu] Now the morning bells mark the break of dawn
[Gakupo/Gumi] The sound of glory echoing…
[Mayu] ahh…
[Miku] The messiah who has [Miku/Mayu] taken on
[Gakupo/Gumi] all of God’s will
[Miku/Luka] stands there all by herself, and she laughs to the sky… [Miku] (laughs)
[Miku/Len] For the “blessings” were nine “sorrows” in disguise
And she raises her hands up toward the shrine….

Extra details to this song/movie/story:
• INTERESTING! Each of them have a red gem/stone with them as an acessory to mark their friendship. (Examples are Miku's necklace, Kaito's braclet, Meiko's hairpin) You can see more of their complete illustration of the Blessed Messiah and The Tower of Ai if you search it up.

• This cycle of saving their corrupted world happens every 10 years with finding new Messiahs (so it's kind of sad if you think of the lives lost.)

• Miku didn't know about the "blessings" actually being curses so her friends, who knew about it, hid that fact from her and sacrificed their lives for her (by making her think they're greedy) so she won't have to endure all the pain from the curses. (But I assume ya'll know about this already.)

• INTERESTING! Their singing lines during and starting from the part where Kaito was the first to betray Miku by "stealing" the blessing for himself were based of the fact when they entered. So when one after the other enters the room of the blessings, they didn't sing anymore (as they were undergoing their sufferings so I actually like this detail a lot to signify their loss already.)

• INTERESTING! When Miku walks up to the altar, she finds a shadowy figure just across from her who resembled a lot like Neru (also a vocaloid) so I assume 10 years ago, before Miku, Neru also had to endure the same situation where Miku was with her friends dying too and then that form disappeared after the cycle where Miku was in was complete.

• INTERESTING! (Now this hurt me the most,) The 9 statues that held unlit candles only started lighting up one by one after the 9 revealed their gruesome deaths (Miku realized this by now) after they had finished the process (ouch) and the red liquid that went to the base altar was the blood of the 9 friends who gave up their lives for Miku.

• Tower of Ai – Tower of Love (I'd like to think that it meant that it was the tower of how the friends loved Miku so they died for her.)
And for Messiah, you could indeed say that the true Messiahs are her friends.

• In the end, we could see that the world had already returned back to normal but we don't know what happens after that, will Miku continue living normally? We don't know but it's sad to think.

Not sure if anyone metioned this yet but at the part b4 miku arrived at the altar, it was in her POV, and to her b4 the altar, her friends's face had a sneering/contempt/madness look. However, after she reached the altar and learned the truth, it shows their real expressions at the time when they "betrayed" miku .

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sorry to comment again, but is there a place I can download this and listen to it offline?

"bloody red began burning within the swordsman's eyes"←of course she could cry in that moment
"older sister's open hands as she smiled happily"←you know,sister helps sister.right?
"running off in irritation, little sister moves~"←I think not "irritation",because of sad maybe(I mean,she lost her old sister in front of her)

…then,it connects to"We are not the last"
