Background

“What do you think about human living things?”
—Author's comment

"Near" is an original song by Natsushiro Takaaki featuring Hatsune Miku. The song takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, where a scientist remains alive. Out of the loneliness, he creates the robot girl, named Near (who is modeled after a childhood friend?). However, the robot initially cannot feel emotions, nor can she answer philosophical and emotional questions.

Over the span of time, the scientist teaches Near how to "feel". Several years later, the scientist passes away next to his "daughter", her emotions grow stronger as she learns of how the tragic nature of death.

Near has entered the Hall of Legend, and has more than 80 thousand views in bilibili.

Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
ねえニア　誰かを笑い飛ばさなきゃ	nee nia dare ka o waraitobasanakya
自分を許せないような	jibun o yurusenai you na
くだらない人間のこと	kudaranai ningen no koto
キミはどう思う？	kimi wa dou omou?
ねえニア　他人の歩幅を眺めて	nee nia tanin no hohaba o nagamete
意味もなく駆け足になる	imi mo naku kakeashi ni naru
つまらない人間のこと	tsumaranai ningen no koto
キミはどう思う？ねえニア	kimi wa dou omou? nee nia
ねえニア　笑顔で過ごす日々を	nee nia egao de sugosu hibi o
当たり前と思うような	atarimae to omou you na
傲慢な人間のこと	gouman na ningen no koto
キミはどう思う？	kimi wa dou omou?
「カタチのないフタシカナモノはいつだって	"katachi no nai futashika na mono wa itsu datte
ケイサンをクルワセテしまうの」	keisan o kuruwasete shimau no"
だけど	dakedo
ああ　僕はまだ信じてる	aa boku wa mada shinjiteru
ココロないキミに問いかけたのは	kokoro nai kimi ni toikaketa no wa
キミの手が僕よりも	kimi no te ga boku yori mo
あたたかかったからさ	atatakakatta kara sa
ねえニア　子供の頃に見てた	nee nia kodomo no koro ni miteta
あの夢の続きがこんな	ano yume no tsuzuki ga konna
未来に繋がってたこと	mirai ni tsunagatteta koto
キミはどう思う？	kimi wa dou omou?
ああ　僕はまた勘違い？	aa boku wa mata kanchigai?
明日のない暗いこの宇宙(そら)の下	asu no nai kurai kono sora no shita
キミの手が僕よりも	kimi no te ga boku yori mo
ふるえていた気がした	furuete ita ki ga shita
ねえニア　誰かを笑い飛ばさなきゃ	nee nia dare ka o waraitobasanakya
自分を許せないような	jibun o yurusenai you na
くだらない僕たちのこと	kudaranai bokutachi no koto
キミはどう思う？	kimi wa dou omou?
ああ　僕はまだ期待してる	aa boku wa mada kitai shiteru
ボロボロでもう見る影もないけれど	boroboro de mou miru kage mo nai keredo
キミがいるこの地球(ほし)を	kimi ga iru kono hoshi o
忘れたくはないんだよ	wasuretaku wa nai nda yo
ああ　僕はまだ信じてる	aa boku wa mada shinjiteru
ネムラナイキミに問いかけたのは	nemuranai kimi ni toikaketa no wa
キミの手が僕よりも	kimi no te ga boku yori mo
あたたかかったからさ	atatakakatta kara sa
あたたかかったからさ	atatakakatta kara sa
