Onii Yuukai

The song 'Onii Yuukai' by VOCALOID delves into the complex and unsettling emotions of obsession and possessiveness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character who is deeply infatuated with someone, to the point of wanting to control and possess them entirely. The use of the word 'Onii' (which means 'older brother' in Japanese) adds a layer of complexity, suggesting a forbidden or taboo relationship. The character's desire to be the sole recipient of the other's attention is evident in lines like '全部あたしの問だは誰にも渡さないの' (I won't give my questions to anyone else).

The imagery in the song is both haunting and intimate. The character invites the object of their obsession into their room, offering comfort and solace, but there is an underlying sense of menace. The mention of ice cream, a seemingly innocent treat, becomes a tool for manipulation. The character's fixation is further highlighted by their dreams of physical closeness and the desire to '連れ込んでみたい' (bring them into bed). The lyrics also touch on themes of pain and revenge, with the character fantasizing about strangling the other person and seeking retribution for perceived slights.

The song's dark tone is amplified by the use of metaphors and vivid descriptions. The '真っ青な瞳' (bright blue eyes) and '真っ白なシーツ' (white sheets) contrast with the character's darker intentions. The recurring imagery of dreams and fantasies blurs the line between reality and imagination, creating a sense of unease. The character's obsession is all-consuming, leading them to envision a world where they are always together, even if it means resorting to extreme measures. The song ultimately explores the destructive nature of obsession and the lengths to which someone might go to possess the object of their desire.
