not jailbird but it's amazing to see another HoloEN who's completely fucking dedicated to actually being a career idol and who clearly wants to make a splash. mori obviously wants to have a real vsinger career, and i respect it. kiara clearly wants to be a true idol, but i don't think she's ever entertained ideas of selling out budokan... or at least... i hope not with chicken voice.

nerissa has the talent, the work ethic, and luckily the model to go all the fucking way. holoEN did not fucking nerf their talents this time. just thinking about how if she debuted in any earlier gen there would've been a fifty percent chance of her getting stuck with some
completely unfitting or shit model, stuck with some dumb kayfabe that doesn't remotely fit her... it just feels like sheer honest serendipity and luck that she got in when she did. the stars have actually lined up for once. someone who WANTS to make it is finally put in a position to.

this is good for the entire branch. it's good for hololive. it's amazing for vtubing. having another real, legit vsinger means the branch is making its moves towards being a real talent cultivator and entertainment company. having that vsinger be someone who's idol friendly sets a tone for vtubing in the west.

i remember hearing from a friend of mine that a colleague's daughter liked listening to reflect by gura on the way to school. when i hear stuff like that, it makes me think of a future where even in the west a kid can grow up having happy and maybe silly dreams of being an idol and be seen as a dreamer instead of as a social outcast. i would genuinely really like to see that. i'm obviously not putting this all on nerissa. that's silly, unrealistic, and unfair to her. it's just that this is the first step i've seen since myth debuted taken toward that, and i think it's a pretty happy daydream.

Screaming for more, you're not enough, screaming for more
I couldn't give you up ahh…
I am just so sorry

it's sort of like you've been in third person mode all this time, and this direct statement to the viewer is this forcible reminder that the collar story is a convenient fairy tale for the person in pain.

Shoulder my load, now yours to behold
Still not enough, you're not enough
Never enough, still I won't loosen my hold
Truly I'm so sorry

nerissa's version by contrast does lighten the shock imo, which is one reason i think the original still holds so much value, but in its absence there's a bit more room to feel the intimacy and vulnerability of the singer's single statement of remorse.
so, this has all been analyses of the differences between the songs. i think most of what the song is about is rather obvious, but i want to add my little kernel of interpretation on it. it's not just that the tightening collar is all of the pressure and expectations and pain she feels from a childhood of toxicity and possible abuse.
the collar is literally the rope that she finally hangs herself with. it's a "fairy tale" about a girl who seemed perfect and hung herself. it wasn't some rash decision of despair. it was the story of her entire life, when the collar that never loosened at all finally snapped her neck. this is why she apologizes, and why she's 'happy' at the end of the song.

Never enough, still I won't loosen my hold
Truly I'm so sorry
[Chorus]
Give me your love, all of your love
Give me your love, all you can conjure up
Give me your love, all of your love
'Til you go mad with ecstasy
I know it hurts, only gets worse
God how it hurts, soon you'll be craving the pain
This is my happiness now
Ahh
Is this my happiness now?

each chorus has slightly different lyrics to end them, and obviously there's a yandere vibe to the shift of focus to the listener. but i think there's a little more to it than that. by traumatizing the listener/her husband or boyfriend, she's giving him all her pain, and she's getting all the love and affection she could ever want in the form of the mourning she knows he'll do in her passing. her last happiness is that her neck is finally relaxed; it's completely snapped.
anyway, i am really into this song jailbirds. i can't stop listening to either version.
