DUALSHOCKERS VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nJust Listen To This Song<\/h2>\n The start of the story is simple and cliched enough. A high-schooler who loves playing guitar is trying to win the heart of his crush by playing a song, and recording it on video for her to watch. He would have landed a hit if it weren\u2019t for him uploading the video to Youtube, causing himself to become mocked by the entire school, and later the whole country and the world itself. Furthermore, he got turned down very harshly by the same girl he was infatuated with.<\/p>\nThe boy had one simple wish, as he stated in the video: \u2018Let these feelings in my heart be understood, by the one who I love best.\u2019 Nevertheless, no one really understood his true intentions. Everyone in the world saw the video differently, and perceived it as a form of political or religious criticism, among other outrageous claims. The boy got disheartened and quickly wanted to delete it. Despite that, he held back after someone warned him not to, saying \u201cForm Is emptiness\u201d.<\/p>\n
He could not quite grasp the meaning of these words, but regardless, he composed himself and uploaded a second song, this time called: \u2018Just Listen to This Song\u2019. Even though this one contained his true and genuine feelings, no one bothered to watch it, and it was universally ignored. He later gave up and deleted all his videos. Yet still, the ending sends a warm message that if a feeling is truly from the heart, it will resonate with the heartstrings of the one it\u2019s aimed at.<\/p>\n
There is a lot to dissect from this story about modern trending topics and how they are perceived, and what the author wanted to say by writing it.<\/p>\n
Death Of The Creator<\/h2>\n Modern communication is a wonder. There are a lot of barriers that could prevent you from understanding the true meaning of things. Whenever a new book or a movie is released, you are bound to find endless discussions and theories about what the creator was truly <\/em>aiming for. The death of the author is a recurring daily subject when trying to appreciate fiction.<\/p>\nMost of Fujimoto\u2019s works are surreal and symbolic, that\u2019s why they always spark a discussion about what could be the true essence of his stories. At first glance, you can feel that he is using \u2018Just Listen to This Song\u2019 to call out his fans. The ones that are invested in figuring out deep meanings and messages behind his works, and boast about their superior intellect. In reality, and with reflections from his earlier works such as \u2018Goodbye, Eri\u2019 and \u2018Look Back\u2019, he has always been just getting by, trying to be himself, and having fun. Nothing more.<\/p>\n
But this latest manga suggests that the author is at a stage in life where he is satisfied with the conclusions he reached, the peace of mind he has longed for. He wants to inspire other readers to feel and do the same; to be true to themselves, and never have doubts when they are doing the things they love. That\u2019s why \u2018Just Listen to This Song\u2019 was not only about the boy\u2019s feelings, but also about his own hesitation.<\/p>\n
The Heart Sutra<\/h2>\n It\u2019s easy to miss the true significance of the advice the boy got from another school girl when he was confused about what to do after the video went viral. She said these words: Form is Emptiness. This is actually a direct reference to the Heart Sutra, a popular sutra in Buddhism. It does not mean that you should relinquish the constraints of form to reach the state of emptiness, but describes \u201cForm itself as emptiness\u201d.<\/p>\nLet\u2019s say you want to define something as good or bad. The mental process of doing that depends on you \u2018distinguishing\u2019 that something between what it is and what it is not. If you like a color, it\u2019s because there are colors you don\u2019t like. If a certain smell evokes good memories, it\u2019ll be different from the smells of other things that you associate with bad memories. In other words, we put things in pre-established forms to define them, according to our fixed self-identity and how we define things. <\/p>\n
We ignore their own individual nature because we inherently discriminate against the things we are not familiar with. Happiness in our minds is tied to a specific form. That form has to have specific logic and connections, but that\u2019s not necessarily true. Buddha calls this the reason for humanity\u2019s suffering. The boy\u2019s suffering was because he was fixated on his preconceived notion of how his confession should have gone. Other people\u2019s confusion is also tied to the form they chose to apply to the video he uploaded, with that form changing as the trend kept going.<\/p>\n
The origin of suffering was that the boy didn\u2019t want things to change. He was afraid of that change. \u2018Emptiness\u2019 on the other hand, does not refer to a space or a void in space, but to the true nature of all things. That there is nothing in this world that doesn\u2019t have a single fixated existence. Everything is in constant change. Therefore, it\u2019s wrong to assume happiness will come if abstract things are given form, or even if we reject form for emptiness as the better truth of the world. Happiness will only come if we accept both form and emptiness as one unified reality.<\/p>\nOnce the boy decided to upload his video on Youtube, he should have accepted immediately that his confession will take any form in people\u2019s minds and that\u2019s okay. At the same time, he should have not waited for his feelings to reach the girl, but instead for the girl herself to perceive his love in her own way. Then after that, she would decide to accept his love, in whatever form it may take. Even the word \u2018Cringy\u2019 which she used to describe his confession, was used again towards the end in a different context, showing that even her own perception of what is \u2018Cringy\u2019, has changed over time.<\/p>\n
Of course, all that is just my perception (my form) of what could Fujimoto have wanted to say through his new one-shot \u2018Just Listen to This Song.\u2019 Our interpretations of Fujimoto\u2019s works will also keep changing as he releases more serialized manga and one-shots. That\u2019s fine though, because \u2018form is emptiness\u2019 after all.<\/p>\n
