on christmas eve I give you the [translated] lyrics to my favorite Vocaloid song, because the combination of 8-bit style and my incredibly strong feels about A.I. make this just too overwhelming to not share today. i'm writing these down because the translation that I first saw when I discovered this song is my favorite, and I can't find it online anymore but I still remember it pretty well.

The shelter alarmed and I woke up alone
Pi pi pi pi, nothing seems to be wrong
I'm sure the mailbox is empty.
Out of the plant pot, the bud won't sprout today either.
The sweet blue sky fell down
to make the stars quiet
Connect and link, DREAM and METLOGICA
Revolve and circle, UNKNOWN ENTROPICA
Yes or no, WONDER WORDNICA
Forward or back, let's go TECHNOPOLICA
Tic-tac-toe, headfirst moon
I want to come see you
I want to have a pleasant talk with you again
To my lonely bed, good morning, good morning!
To a coelacanth tail, good morning, good morning!
To a sphinx riddle, good morning, good morning!
To you in my cache memory, good morning, good morning!
I have so many treasured items
But now, I only need this one
The very last thing you taught me
... Out of the plant pot, the bud won't sprout today either.
The raindrops of debris began to fall
You gave me a plastic umbrella
"So you won't rust away."
To a sunbathing angel, good morning, good morning!
To the polka-dot dancing sky, good morning, good morning!
To the marmalade ground, good morning, good morning!
From you in my cache memory, good morning, good morning!
I watch you sleeping silently...
My tears come splashing down
Howcome it's so sad?
So sad... s o s a d...
~
To the earthbathing LOVE, good morning, good morning!
To morning, and daytime, and night, good morning, good morning!
To the rhythm of the universal galaxy, good morning, good morning!
To the one between Adam and Eve, good morning, good morning!
To YOU, who I wanted to see, good morning, good morning!
To YOU, a newborn, good morning, good morning!

god, i can't even write that last verse without gulping down tears. it's so... important to me. i don't know. i can't explain it. so so so important.
so full of hope and happy and also heartbreaking at the same time. something about a robot/computer program going to find their human who has died [which is the story the song tells, watch the video here] and singing things full of such hope and truth. it overwhelms me.
i hope you have a wonderful day and Christmas, even if you don't celebrate it on a religious level or just secular like us, have a wonderful few days full of hope and light and warmth. tell someone you love that you love them.
