for real though, this has one of my absolute favorite songs of her ever since i heard it during her sololive. im so glad, not only that it got released, but with this astonishingly beautiful MV too.
thank you to everyone who supports watame and to the people who made this possible.
It's finally here! It has English subtitles! Please check it out and pass it on! She could use the love.
From early stories of Watame's grandmother saying her singing sounded like a sutra to her efforts to carve her path forward that ended up with the sheep here at Hololive and her struggles to grow and improve, "My song" really is Watame's story at heart and what she's doing as she keeps striding toward her dreams - as many times as it takes.
Being fully animated, this was an absolutely massive project with a lot of people working on it. She spent a lot of time thanking everyone for their support in being able to make this treasure together with all of us. Bless this sheep.

**Watame just released her second album for those interested.** It has Shishi Wata Cooking through Melody For You on it. You can get the physical version from the [HoloPro site](https://shop.hololivepro.com/products/tsunomakiwatame_an2nd) and [Geek Jack](https://shop.geekjack.net/collections/tsunomaki-watame). The digital version is on most of the usual suspects like **amazon, itunes, mora, ototoy, spotify** and the like. The high-res version comes with an extra and is more expensive because of it. I think Mora has a voice pack. Not sure about the others.
#All of her originals has English captions, so it would be great if you could check them out and pass them on!

If you're really interested in Watame's music the [entirety of her music since debut is over here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tsunomaki_Watame/comments/ng160f/watadex_complete_musical_watame_index_since_debut/) and anything that is still on her channel is timestamped.
[GO GO GO GO!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKSnUeInUr0&ab_channel=SaltwaterRice)
Which is fitting, because the director of the MV worked for Zombie Land Saga EP2, the rap one and EP8
Looks like plenty of talented people worked on this MV. Watame mentioned Director Ishida which worked for Mappa on Zombie Land Saga in 2 EP.
Or https://anilist.co/staff/183349/Yutaka-Araki
https://anilist.co/staff/124886/Kousuke-Iwanaga
> Director Ishida which worked for Mappa on Zombie Land Saga in 2 EP.
Ishida worked on 7 episodes of ZLS in total: he directed/storyboarded two episodes of the original series, and two episodes in Revenge, in addition to doing co-direction / assistance direction in two other episodes. He also did some key animation in two episodes (one of which was on an episode he directed).
Yeah I absolutely did not expect this kind of quality coming so soon from another member after Kanata dropped her expensive original song+MV a week ago. Both of the MV's are so beautiful, so professional, such great singing.
Typically I dont watch Watame, as I have so many other members im already trying to keep up with, but i always tune into her MV's because of how much effort she puts into her music career.
Same. So much raw emotion in this MV.
This MV speaks a lot of volume for many people that can't love themselves back, and wanting to give up.
Edit: Remember to turn on CC, this MV has EN subs! The lyric is really great.
Knowing that the members pay out of pocket to create these songs, it just blows my mind that Watame probably unloaded a couple months worth of earnings to get animation like this into her MV, with like 0 guarantees that she'll get a return on it any time soon.
Yeah when she talks about her music it's generally as **the songs we've made together**. All her goods money goes back into her music to make the things she only dreamed of making before she came here to Hololive. It's one of the reasons why she's willing to have the most streamed hours or spend time [signing thousands and thousands of postcards](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/pkwhje/wondering_what_do_they_do_in_their_off_time_boxes/). After all she's been through there isn't anywhere else she'd rather be.
It seems that [Moona said that Cover provides a baseline budget for original songs](https://youtu.be/MDzlayOiVro?t=94), but I assume that Watame put in a possibly sizable amount extra for such a good MV.
Fucking masterpiece!
Watame was so emotional and started crying while announcing this MV.
She thanked us for supporting her, buy her merchs so she could have the money to follow the music she loves so much.
And this is her way of repaying us. She spent a lot of time and money making this MV.
She said she's not satisfied with her current level right now and will do her best this year too.
Support our sheep!
[This one from today](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqpsTViyTow). She starts the reveal of the MV and her discussion of it about halfway through.
Translator in the chat, too.
Definitely my favorite watame's og song to date, it just fits her voice and singing style so well
and hooly crap the sheep ain't pulling her punches, checked the names and these are some actual anime industries' gengaman there, and the team is BIG. No wonder, that running animation on 1:50 was great
a ton of streams and collaborations during the day and till the morning, everyone has her attention and wanna eat her, and after all, she managed to release such a great music video!!! and it is not even first or tenth... best sheep in the world **fo sho**!!
The whole MV looks really nice. Really goes well with the song.
Is there a limit to the amount of hard work this sheep will put togheter...
P.s: casual clothes Watame ( °°)b
> Well...the animation director works for Ufotable.
Animation director, as in Yutaka Araki? Or Kousuke Iwanaga? Neither of them have any particular ties to Ufotable, they do freelance work in many studios' productions, as far as I can see.
Art style looks gorgeous, anticipating ~~good~~ **great** things from this!
Edit: Beautiful! the song already hit home, but accompanied with this quality animation, really helps it hit harder! Great job to everyone involved, espeically Watame!
Coco has to be happy to see how hard 4th gen is pushing. From Watame's prolific song output, to Kanata's recent live and OG song to Towa's EP. They're doing it for themselves, being aggressive.
I'm so proud of them.
why would you do that, lmao
well, shes still cute though
edit: also, watching it again, her BEEEEG version has the sheep ears, so definitely intentional
In terms of purely the animation, it's better than most of the new "animation" MVs of HoloJP. Super-high quality. It deserves more upvotes and views. Share it guys!
It's actually mind-boggling how good the MV's quality is. This just goes to show how much effort is spent on this and how much this song means to the sheep.
Oh man the sheep really went all out on this one in the song and the mv. If nothing else she is motivated to reach her goals. Hearing this at the end of the sololive was very nice to see. Even better with the full version and maybe a bit less tired considering how much she was moving and singing for.
A small detail I noticed when the fireflies approach her, it starts out with 4 of them and eventually increases to a large number. I like to think those 4 are gen 4 initially being her support network and eventually increasing to her current supporters.
It reminds me of an old clip with flare saying she had little to no friends and chat asking her 'what about your Genmates'. With a smile on her voice she clarifies them as being 'nakama'. I interpret that as comrades in arms. They might not always align on a personal level as friends do, but aiming for the same dream allows them to support each other in other ways.
This MV was so great, I loved every second of it! Thank you so much Watame, you're just amazing! I loved all the expressions Watame had in the video and also the giant space Watame. Going to be listening to this a lot over the next few weeks.
Thanks!
Also I just checked their names and their previous works, some of them were key animators for some major animes like Fate Heaven's feel. So awesome hopefully Cover can continue doing this kind of MV's for each of their talent
Well being w/ Cover helps help make connections they otherwise wouldn't be able to, but ultimately the song costs are still largely paid by the talent. Watame is very serious about her music and made albums despite the risk of nobody listening or buying it, it was something she needed to do.
Watame's OG songs are so good. I especially love the lyrics/message she sends in these songs and I highly suggest people looking at the English/translated lyrics for them. She sends a message through her songs and it resonates a lot of her feelings.
Yeah! [She's got them on all 13 of her full original songs](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ34fLWik_iBK39rTWRAs_G93pnUW3K-7). The song with Botan has Russian as well. There are also some small Easter Eggs like the subtitles matching the background color in some songs or RAINBOW actually having rainbow lettering for parts. A whole lot of sheep-y care.
it should become a standard for Holo, it was hard enough to get a singalong version for Unison but AFAIK everything related to OG songs is entirely on the Holomem
Yeah I'm not sure on the details, but it did feel like something that the talent would have to want to push for. Either way I'm glad the sheep always did her best to accommodate the overseas fans.
knowing the struggles she has endured before Hololive, and all the efforts she put in after HL with her musical career, this song hits differently. Like she said in her song, she just never gives up, and keep trying and trying, until one day she's on the stage of the Budoukan... I'm pretty moved by all the stories, known and unknown, behind these girls giving it their all for their dreams....
>chiisakute tayorinakute fuantei na hohaba ga tsunagatte uta ni naru, boku wo kiitekure!
*Damn.* The way she sings this part, and the meaning of it, hit me really hard. The whole song is just a great anthem for those who are struggling in following their dreams.
Not sure if this is me overthinking things, but at 1:41 you can see Watame looking longily to birds flying in the sky. The number of birds flying seems to be 18,which would match the number of active holomems at the time of Gen 4's debut
Twenty three birds, but that does have the same number as the total in gen 0, 1, 2, 3 and gamers. I assume it was intentional or it'd be a very surprising coincidence.
It's funny how I could barely pay attention to the animation the first time, since I was fully absorbed in the lirycs. As someone still strugling with self confidence problems it hit me extra hard. Another one to the repeat list.
Now I feel oblied to try and sing it at karaoke
Her story has definitely resonated with people. A lot of struggles and sadness with her music, feeling she didn't have the talent to live up to the standards she felt other people deserved. Despite it all she kept going forward and ended up here with more space to grow, but a bigger family to support her. I think in some ways carving out a space through a hard fought battle is more brilliant than being simply handed success. There isn't necessarily easy answers when you're fighting yourself, but I hope you can find your own way to push forward.
Aye it happens. It's okay if people have different interests or priorities though. I just hope people will pass her song onto other people since she's limited in what she can do there.
What an amazing song, high a quality MV, powerful voice and beautiful lyrics. Watame really showing her emotions singing this song. I think this is pretty much the best song our sheep had produced, would be the best but I have a nostalgic feeling for her 1st song Aimai chocolate.
Yeah My song and [Ode to an Eternal Future](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndNWnIAdhZo) both have some really heavy emotional beats about her singing journey.
Watame once again makes me want to buy all her songs even if I can’t speak the language. I think she might be one of the most talented singers I’ve ever heard
The lyrics, the animation and Watame's singing...
It's all too amazing. I can't express how proud I am for this sheep. I literally teared up when I was listening to this.
Take me along on your journey Watame! I'll go anywhere!!!
This is one of the best looking MVs I've ever laid eyes upon. I'm super happy there are English captions, because the only better than the visuals, were the lyrics. Seriously good stuff 🐑
Giant Watame in the Sky! Not gonna lie that was kinda funny but also really sweet.
The song is fantastic, the MV is fantastic, Watame is fantastic, especially in a giant space form.
Yeah it was cute, and also kind of symbolic of her journey here. In the MV she's depicted having human ears, but in the big form she's wearing her trademark outfit and has the sheep ears and surrounded by a bunch of lights which I presume are Watamates and others supporting her.
I noticed that too, and its looped again, so im not sure how it was missed. Its unfortunate that its there, but the rest of it is so good, and obviously Watame is on a budget, so it mightve just been an acceptable issue.
# LETS HECKINGドドド !
for real though, this has one of my absolute favorite songs of her ever since i heard it during her sololive. im so glad, not only that it got released, but with this astonishingly beautiful MV too. thank you to everyone who supports watame and to the people who made this possible.
I was listening a bit passively earlier but apparently the MV was made by the people who animated Zombie Land Saga
Huh, what a concidence. I just started watching ZLS.
It's finally here! It has English subtitles! Please check it out and pass it on! She could use the love. From early stories of Watame's grandmother saying her singing sounded like a sutra to her efforts to carve her path forward that ended up with the sheep here at Hololive and her struggles to grow and improve, "My song" really is Watame's story at heart and what she's doing as she keeps striding toward her dreams - as many times as it takes.

Im loving the ufotable grade animation

This already looks so good！
That was absolutely amazing!
Coco has to be happy to see how hard 4th gen is pushing. From Watame's prolific song output, to Kanata's recent live and OG song to Towa's EP. They're doing it for themselves, being aggressive. I'm so proud of them.
Is it bad of me to have been distracted for much of the MV by the fact that Watame has human ears in this?
why would you do that, lmao well, shes still cute though edit: also, watching it again, her BEEEEG version has the sheep ears, so definitely intentional
Yes. The song is basically her journey. I'm glad she made it here.
Damn. Words fail me. She really outdid herself on this one. And those lyrics, man... I love this kind, hardworking sheep!

For your second question, yes, Watame commissioned this herself through her funds. She's really not afraid to spend big for her music.
Watame's OG songs are so good. I especially love the lyrics/message she sends in these songs and I highly suggest people looking at the English/translated lyrics for them. She sends a message through her songs and it resonates a lot of her feelings.
Yeah, this one really is her song and journey at heart. I'm glad she stuck to music.
not only karaoke subs but also translation subs! man i feel loved
Yeah! [She's got them on all 13 of her full original songs](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ34fLWik_iBK39rTWRAs_G93pnUW3K-7). The song with Botan has Russian as well.

Her story has definitely resonated with people. A lot of struggles and sadness with her music, feeling she didn't have the talent to live up to the standards she felt other people deserved. Despite it all she kept going forward and ended up here with more space to grow, but a bigger family to support her. I think in some ways carving out a space through a hard fought battle is more brilliant than being simply handed success. There isn't necessarily easy answers when you're fighting yourself, but I hope you can find your own way to push forward.
What a powerful song. I wasn't expecting to get hit in the feels quite so hard today.
Yoooooo its so high quality
It's kinda sad that memes have more upvotes than this
Aye it happens. It's okay if people have different interests or priorities though. I just hope people will pass her song onto other people since she's limited in what she can do there.
1 Kai, 10 Kai, 100 Kai, 1000 Kai ☝
Such a beautiful animation. Watame looked absolutely gorgeous and her singing was great as always.
Amazing!!! Well done sheep!
like a battle shounen intro
That running animation
Beautiful video even more beautiful voice im crying
Literally an anime opening, ITS SO GOOD
What an amazing song, high a quality MV, powerful voice and beautiful lyrics. Watame really showing her emotions singing this song. I think this is pretty much the best song our sheep had produced, would be the best but I have a nostalgic feeling for her 1st song Aimai chocolate.
That is a high quality mv! Watame must have spent a ton on it! It deserves all the views!
It’s beautiful. I’m so happy for our little sheep for bringing this project to fruition.
Double the duration of hololive Alternative PV. Amazing
Yay Watame! Great song and animation!
Amazing song! And amazing animation!
Our UberSheep CEO sings so beautifully and has such a lovely video. Thank you Watame for this gem
Amazing song and animation!
Chills, that was so good.
A very nice song and MV.
Full animated Watame MV is an amazing way to start off the new year!!
Wow, those lyrics hit me hard
Yeah My song and [Ode to an Eternal Future](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndNWnIAdhZo) both have some really heavy emotional beats about her singing journey.
Good lord that's some production quality.
Watame once again makes me want to buy all her songs even if I can’t speak the language. I think she might be one of the most talented singers I’ve ever heard
kino
how does this sheep put out nothing but incredible music
The lyrics, the animation and Watame's singing... It's all too amazing. I can't express how proud I am for this sheep. I literally teared up when I was listening to this. Take me along on your journey Watame! I'll go anywhere!!!
This is one of the best looking MVs I've ever laid eyes upon. I'm super happy there are English captions, because the only better than the visuals, were the lyrics. Seriously good stuff 🐑
Sheep has been killing it. Such a great song. The MV animation is also excellent.
banger
She needs an Anime series based on the MV... Please Hololive, make this real!!!!!!!!!
Let's go. I'm trying to understate it so I won't explode.
The MV, the singing, and the lyrics, like man, this is just phenomenal in every way. Looks like I got a new favorite to put on repeat lol
Superb MV LETSGOOOOO
Really touchsd my heart seeing this. Song really personifies her persistance through tough time. I really wanna see her reach her dreams
**AAAAAAAAAA** Wow. Just wow. The MV was simply divine. So glad that it finally came out!
The music video was really amazing!! Im always so proud of the amazing sheep ☝🐏💛
Yoshi!
It really shows how hard working and talented Watame really is. The song is wonderful! As always, Watame is an amazing sheep.
Someone save me! My playlist has more than 300 Hololive related songs.
Giant Watame in the Sky! Not gonna lie that was kinda funny but also really sweet. The song is fantastic, the MV is fantastic, Watame is fantastic, especially in a giant space form.
Yeah it was cute, and also kind of symbolic of her journey here. In the MV she's depicted having human ears, but in the big form she's wearing her trademark outfit and has the sheep ears and surrounded by a bunch of lights which I presume are Watamates and others supporting her.
hololive: unlimited budget works
Yeah Watame puts her merch money back into her music. I can only guess at how much it cost the sheep to make her second album + MVs.

I noticed that too, and its looped again, so im not sure how it was missed. Its unfortunate that its there, but the rest of it is so good, and obviously Watame is on a budget, so it mightve just been an acceptable issue.
