Background[]

Neko no Shokutaku is a song by Kikuo featuring Hatsune Miku.

The song seems to be about a cat who can see ghosts, yet is only seeing the ghosts of children. The cat wonders why the ghosts of children are the only ones they're seeing, and reasons that it's because the children are stupid enough to die on their own.

This song has reached over 1 million views on YouTube and entered the Hall of Fame.

*Another theory suggests that since it's said cats can see spirits, ghost, living energy, or simply death people, the cat of this song is among a lot of death children, spend time with them, and also seem to comfort them. As in some parts of the songs, the cat seems to sing verses like: "Why won't any of the adults die? Could it be because they're so smart they don't have to go to school?"

Which can be interpreted as the current situation in many countries; children kidnapping. Such crime is becoming daily, specially when the little ones leave school. So the children of this song end up like that, in a "destination unknown" (as the song says), they're locked up, tortured or blackmail their parents to get money, sometimes they die, and since they can't go anywhere, they find shelter with their feline spiritual guide. That's why the cat has this mentality of: adults are smart, because they don't have to go to school. That means children are stupid, and every time they leave school, they head towards heaven, and that's why adults never die.

*(second theory found in a comment on the original song in youtube, theory by Alice Mercury)

Japanese (日本語歌詞) Romaji (ローマ字)
いない ないない ない人だらけの食卓で inai nai nai nai hito darake no shokutaku de
猫は話すよ 今日も どこにもいけない neko wa hanasu yo kyou mo doko ni mo ikenai
子供の幽霊と kodomo no yuurei to

大人はどうして死なないの otona wa doushite shinanai no
もしかしてかしこくて moshikashite kashikokute
学校 学校にいかなくていいから gakkou gakkou ni ikanakute ii kara

歪んだ笑顔が並びます yuganda egao ga narabimasu
もしやもしかして かしこくなくなく なくて moshiya moshikashite kashikoku naku naku nakute
落ちてばかりの 頭の悪い子供たち ochite bakari no atama no warui kodomotachi
だから dakara

撫でて 撫でて 撫でて 撫でて nadete nadete nadete nadete
一緒にモフモフ いつまでも issho ni mofumofu itsumademo
つらくない 大人はいなくて tsurakunai otona wa inakute
つらいばかりのぼくら集まって tsurai bakari no bokura atsumatte
天国行きの集団下校です tengoku iki no shuudan gekou desu
ワン ツー wan tsuu

できそこないの子供と一緒に dekisokonai no kodomo to issho ni
できそこないのぼくも撫でるよ dekisokonai no boku mo naderu yo
いない ないない ない人だらけの食卓で inai nai nai nai hito darake no shokutaku de
猫をモフモフ 今日も neko o mofumofu kyou mo

どこにもいない子供と一緒に doko ni mo inai kodomo to issho ni
どこにもいれないぼくも眠るよ doko ni mo irenai boku mo nemuru yo
すやすや 猫と一緒にすやすや suyasuya neko to issho ni suyasuya
猫とすやすや みんなですやすや neko to suyasuya minna de suyasuya

連れて連れて 行って行って tsurete tsurete itte itte
うとまれだらけの ぼくたちを utomare darake no bokutachi o
つらくない子供もいなくて tsurakunai kodomo mo inakute
つらいばかりのぼくらは仲良く tsurai bakari no bokura wa nakayoku

撫でて 撫でて 撫でて 撫でて nadete nadete nadete nadete
一緒にモフモフ いつまでも issho ni mofumofu itsumademo
つらくない大人はいなくて tsurakunai otona wa inakute
つらいばかりのぼくらは仲良く tsurai bakari no bokura wa nakayoku
行き先不明の集団下校です ikisaki fumei no shuudan gekou desu
