Toga's song gets a revamp!!! Since the song was released more than a year before the record, I wanted to revisit it so the newer version would fit better sonically with the album. That, and I wanted it to be creepier! I've never had so much fun laughing in my entire life!

Wait really? Because for me it's the other way around where the first version is more stalkery and subtle while this one is unhinged and her embracing madness especially with the background laughter growing from the last pre-chorus to the song's end. Both versions are absolute gems in their own unique ways so I really can't choose one over the other!

I ADORE both versions of this song! The first version was incredibly unhinged; someone who was truly deranged and the music showed that as well with the loudness to it. This version, however, while showing similar aspects, is more tone downed which somehow makes it more creepy. You hear how unhinged the singer is, but it’s almost as if the music is trying to hide it with its more calm nature. And it’s not until the end where the manic laugh comes in, when the music is quiet, where you see how the singer is in fact crazy as hell. A little difficult to explain my thought process, but hope I got my point across. Wonderful song, Madds, everyone who worked on it did so beautifully!

Basically, the second is more subtle at first before going a whole 180 and showing its “true colours”. Am I close?
Both version gives me the chills
Toga being beaten by her parents for how she smiles and how her smile looks really makes me feel mad at the way the system has failed her. It's obvious that she was abused and mistreated and people treat people so badly for their quirks and there's no system to actually handle that kind of thing. There needs to be something to deal with the parents who don't like how their kids come out. Or that they don't like how their quirks are. Toga is a victim of child abuse.

@@saltyseadog4719 It is normal, her parents were abusing her and abused her most of her life. And the system did nothing. And when she fought back and finally snapped under pressure and started killing people the system saw her as a villain. Because villains are people who break under pressure. This anime has a lot of that where the characters abused and finally fights back and they are portrayed as the bad guy. A real hero takes all of the abuse and just keeps on taking more abuse. It's pretty messed up in my opinion that Toga got tortured and later punished and killed like this.

4 pumps of vanilla flavor into heavy cream, then put it into a blender for 20 seconds to froth it, and you can make the sweet cream at home. I used to work at starbucks and we had to make the sweet cream and whipped cream every night. Whipped cream is the same recipe but you gotta put it in a whip cream canister that can have a condensed air capsule attached to it.

My family was extremely concerned when they saw me bopping to this song 😂
the buildup at the end makes me feel like I’m going slowly insane in a movie, I love it so much 😭
oh my goooosh this version is so ggood the original is already amazing, this version is just so mature and sophisticated aa i love that the listener can see how you’ve grown as an artist and musician!!
2:38 The BEST part about this remake, is not only because it’s better in general, but also this sick ass guitar solo! I NEED an instrumental version of this song!!!
Absolutely love this, especially the laughter beginning from the final pre-chorus and it growing until the song's very end. It show more of her unhinged state and her embracing madness. Both versions are absolute gems in their own unique ways so I really can't choose one over the other!
Y’all are sleeping on this version both are good but this one is so much more polished 😫
The original song was amazing enough, but the revamp is somehow even more amazing! It just sounds a little crazier you know, as if like toga was actually singing it to someone. Bravo I say, bravo!
I love it! Love how all parts make up a chaotic ensemble. It really mirrors the intricacies of an unsound mind from mania

Ok. This is totally my favorite version of this song. The laughing gave it that extra creepy little effect. So awesome!
its funny on how this fits the Character Cutthroat too well from him being obsessed with red and blood plus him being crazy in love with Swindler. the anime im talking about is Akudama Drive and if you watch the series you will soon understand why this song matches Cutthroat.

Okay so when I first heard this I didn't know it was for Toga and I messaged my friend (an absolute god damned weeb) that this song was in my recommended with major yandere vibes going on. Long story short my friend recognised the song and now we're both obsessed. This has been your storytime with the local satan of fruitiness, farewell and goodnight/day whenever you are reading this.
Ironically, i used this song as inspiration for a character from london with a vampire quirk, so- honestly, 1: great song! 2: thanks for helping me get past art block! 😅😄
It took me listening to this I dont even know how many times to realize the laughing starts before the music stops
OMG I LOVE THIS VERSION! Why? It feels realistic!
I prefer this version over the original, the slight echo, the slight hint of laughter adds to the atmosphere of slowly being bled to death in a Psychopa- I mean anime fan's basement.

I just can't stop listening!! it's like Toga is singing to someone, and it's probably Izuku, and I imagine that when she laughs it's like she kills him (like the first boy Toga loved) that's how I imagine!,but the song has a singing vibe that willingly!

I dont really know about if these ocs have had presence elsewhere of if they're ocs at all or if Madds has put a full story for them somewhere but a gay relationship with the bloody and unhinged song is very good and i needed it
Bro I had been listening to this song for a while and my brain did not connect a to b that maybe the Song "The Red Means I Love You" on Spotify by Madds Buckley is the same as the Madds Buckley on youtube.... I feel like a dingus.
I really enjoy this song because it can apply to anything and not just my hero academia. Really amazing work.
You don't realize how talented she is until you try to sing her songs and realize the sheer amount of breath control it takes
So this song was recommended to me by Spotify and I absolutely loved (and still do) the musical vibes of this song so I put it in my liked songs. I've always visualized Toga singing this song because it matches her so well, and lo and behold, I decided to look up the artist to hear more of her music and I learn that it's literally who I based it on. Friggin wild...
Oh my goodness- Thank you KZread for recommending me this absolute m a s t e r p i e c e of a song! The vibes are immaculate and your voice is just so gorgeous, no amount of praise in words can express how much I adore this. ^^
