"Goodbye Sengen" (グッバイ宣言, Gubbai Sengen, 'Goodbye Declaration') is a 2020 song written by Japanese music producer Chinozo, utilizing the Vocaloid voice library V Flower. The song is the most viewed Vocaloid song on YouTube with more than 100 million views, and received over 3 billion listens on TikTok by 2022.[1] A light novel adaptation was released on October 25, 2021,[2] and sold over one hundred thousand copies by 2022.[3]

Background

[edit]

Influenced by Japanese Vocaloid music producers Harumaki Gohan and MikitoP [ja], Chinozo started to create Vocaloid music. Attracted by Japanese illustrator Chika Aruse's illustrations posted on Piapro, he decided to collaborate with Aruse to create a Vocaloid music video.[4] In an interview, Chinozo said the situation was "becoming dark" due to the spread of the COVID-19, so he wanted to make some upbeat music.[5]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

"Goodbye Sengen" is a fast-paced rock song with a tempo of 170 beats per minute.[6][7] Its vocal range spans from the low note of C4 to the high note of C6.[8] The pre-chorus features a repeating hook, "lu-lu-lu".[9] The lyrics make reference to hikikomori,[10][9] and the lyrics also express the pain of loneliness.[9] In a trending topic on Twitter in 2021, participating tweets interpreted some lyrics of the song as "yandere" and "scary".[11]

Music video

[edit]

The illustration of the music video for "Goodbye Sengen" was drawn by Japanese illustrator Chika Aruse, featuring a signature gesture which Chinozo and Aruseee designed together.[12] The gesture shows the right hand touching the index finger with the thumb, rotating behind the head, with the left hand making the V sign towards the right hand.[13] Japanese singer Sou [ja] hailed the illustration as "kawaii, fashionable, and coolness coexisting".[12]

Reception

[edit]

Many singers, YouTubers, and VTubers have uploaded cover versions of the song. A derivative finger dance was popular on TikTok.[13] Chinozo also released his own cover version on July 31, 2020.[14] By October 2022, the music video had received 760,000 views and over 3 billion listens on TikTok, and was used as background music in 310 thousand videos, including many dance cover videos.[1]

In August 2021, its view count surpassed the music video for "DUNE" by Kenshi Yonezu, becoming the most viewed Vocaloid song on YouTube.[13] On July 26, 2022, the song reached 100 million views on YouTube, unprecedented for Vocaloid songs.[15]

On April 28, 2023, the song won a bronze medal at the NexTone Award [ja] 2023.[16] In May, the song was nominated for three categories of Independent Artist Awards by TuneCore Japan: Top Streaming Music of the Decade, Top UGC Music 2022, and Best Music Video 2022.[17]

In 2024, McDonald's Japan collaborates with Goodbye Sengen to promote its new evolution Cheese Bacon Potato Pie.[18]

Chart performance
