Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song ARiA by Toku-P reflects upon childhood memories of looking out the window and watching the path of light. The second verse depicts an imaginary world painted with ancient tales that are passed on from generation to generation where the sound of music continues to play. It is a world where one can arrive anytime and anywhere. In the chorus, the singer reflects on his memories with the person who once colored his world, but now the colors have faded away, and the only thing left is the melody that connects them. The subsequent verses talk about running towards the future with the hope of finding warmth again. The singer remembers their childhood and the forgotten words and shed tears for the unseen sorrows of his beloved. Life offers miracles if one continues to believe in dreams and keeps following the road they believe in, as stated in the final verse.

ARiA- A girl named Aria had an obsession with a star from her childhood and is trying to be with the star/be a star.
SPiCa- Miku is the ever-watching star, caring for all of us.

In the middle of the song, there was a verse that sounded like a letter to Aria.
Aria is trying to use technology to become a star.
In the end she evaporates into little hologram bits.
In the middle there was a "Gate." What was the gate truly for?

Is she trying to become a vocaloid/the beginnings of Miku?
If she is the beginning of Miku, is Miku a time traveler, where she traveled back in time to before she was born, then Aria heard Miku's music, and decided to become a musician, then named her pen name Hatsune Miku?

Whatever it was, did the gate either turn her into an electronic AI or bring her back in time to the present where we live from the future?

HOOLY SHIT

META_mahn

It's not so bad for an original work

@hectorlam8197

META_mahn you're just not well suited with trance.

@jaklenW4023

SAMMMMEEEEE

@thiswantonboy4582

LIKEWISE!

@arstcreations

Wow it's weird when this sounds nostalgic to our ears
Didn't expect time would flew by so quickly

@exDOGE

im literally shaking and crying rn

@jadenaquino6246

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING! Especially the intro, for some reason the sound brings back memories of when I was about 3-5. How I vision the memory that I was in a car with my family, feeling sleepy, warm and cozy while songs that have similar synth sounds are playing in the background. (might sound weird but it sends a warm feeling whenever I think about those moments) Probably the reason why it sounds nostalgic is because of the synthesisers they used and it being popular and used in songs during times when we were young.

@aoifukui4998

I cried when I listened to this idk why though it just made me feel really nostalgic
