Synopsis

With her synthesized voice and trusty leek, the acclaimed virtual diva Miku Hatsune, as a clay figure, sings "Ievan Polkka." However, would thinking the song would end without incident be a little too hopeful? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Mixed Feelings

I don't know what I watched or heard but If i could i would go back in time 3 minutes and stop myself from watching this because I'm now in a constant state of surrealism. Ngl it was a hard watch but the fact that i zoned out watching a loop of a playdough hatsune miku holding a leek i think its safe to say it is very difficult to watch the entirety of this "masterpiece" in one sitting without breaking eye contact with the video. I would not wish my greatest enemy to watch this on loop for 24 hours. In fact I wouldn'teven wish the 2 minutes that i went through on them. Idk why this is here, why I'm here and what the point of this is.

Tbh I prefer original Loituma's version (as well as their "Things of Beauty"), but if I count only versions which we can find on MAL, I do recommend this one! Lyrics were reduced to the gibberish part, but still, they are so deep. I also love the fact Hatsune Miku is blue-haired. It reminds me of Ononoki Yotsugi from Monogatari Series. And the best part... THE LEEK DANCE! I mean, it's so original and surrealistic I won't believe if anyone tells me it wasn't dreamt up. I think you will love it, if you are into avant-garde stuff like Monogatari openings (eg Staple Stable) or other type of ridiculousimagery.
