Don't go / Mafumafu [I Tried Singing]

A song famous as a Vocaloid track, “Ikanaide” (“Don’t Go”).

It’s the eighth work by Vocaloid producer Sota and has reached a million views; it’s included on the full album “Shonen Shoujo no Kotoba,” released in 2013.

It’s a popular song that many well-known cover singers—like Mafumafu, Eve, and Riinu, familiar even to elementary school students—have uploaded “I tried singing” videos of.

The song is about a sorrowful farewell, and it’s easy to empathize with the protagonist who can’t bring themselves to say the words in the title.

Listening to it while thinking about friends or lovers you’re parting with due to transferring schools or graduation can really bring you to tears…

This song became the theme for the film HELLO WORLD.

With “don’t give up” and “believe in yourself” as its key phrases, it’s a track that can lift you up even when you’re feeling down after a setback! Looking at the lyrics, you can tell it’s a love song, but if you replace “love” with a place you long for, it feels like it’ll push you forward when you want to work hard at studying or sports.

If you’re hurt by heartless words around you like “You can’t do it” or “Why don’t you just give up?”, try listening to this song!
