### Origins

Diseaseed Princess or Byouki (病姫) is a vocaloid song by Masa on August 12th, 2014, sung by Hatsune Miku, before being reuploaded as a self-cover on August 4th, 2015 to be sung by Sachiko and later being uploaded with a GUMI self-cover on December 1st, 2017 alongside his 2nd album, ALCATRAZ.

### Plot

The song tells the tale of a girl who is obsessed with making herself look beautiful, with the lyrics talking about her making all of the other girls and women jealous and making boys and men yearn for her beauty, mocking them by how easily they fall for her, an example of this is offering her gifts such as roses.

It's is clear that the girl loves the attention she gets very much, seeing by how doesn't bother settling in a relationship, possibly thinking that she will lose the attention or that she is too good for anyone.

Time passes, and as she gets older, old age starts to take effect on her, making "ugly" features befall upon her, such as wrinkles and white hair. Making her afraid of losing her beauty and all the attention she receives.

The girl decides to one day, become "beautiful" again, falling into madness and insanity, she starts cutting her face, tearing her hair, inflicting serious injuries on herself.

She then walks through the village, showing her new found beauty, but in the end, the injuries take a toll on her, and she dies, alone and unmarried.

It is heavily implied that the girl was influenced by her village's influence, as they always say that her heart is "corrupted", and that her feminine pride is messed up. Making her think that to get rid of her corruption, she should always gather and seek attention for her beauty.

This is further allured in the lyrics, as when the girl receives attention from men, she says: 'It's fine, right? It's fine, right? Just this time..."

## Lyrics

### Kanji

誰よりも美しい 私の顔は

イカレタ顔立ちした ブスが私を妬んだ

下衆な陰口とお揃いの顔は

掻っ捌いた魚で化粧しな

歩けば間抜けな男が寄って来る

誰に分かるかね？この気持ち

皆に言われた特別な子と

少女の心蝕んだ

自分繕い顔を整え

今日も私は生きて行く

虚しさを抱いて狂い咲く 塞ぎ込んで泣いた

永遠には なれないと

孤独、怒り、白い目 抱え込んで泣いた

誰も信じられないと

昨日よりも美しい 私の顔は

明日はもっと美しく 皆が私を妬んだ

内心望むはお触りの先さ

重なる快楽に舌つづみ

誘えば間抜けな男が寄って来る

ええじゃないか ええじゃないか 今だけさ

皆に言われた 軽い女と

女の心蝕んだ

髪を梳して 顔を整え

今日の私も魅力的

悲しさを抱いて狂い泣く 化粧落とし泣いた

永遠にはなれないと

心、身体、年月 少しづつ変わって

こんなの嫌だ 助けてよ

誰ヨリ、誰ヨリ、誰ヨリサ

皆二言ワレタ アノ子変ダト

女ノ自我ヲ蝕ンダ

髪ヲ毟ッテ 顔ヲ刻ンデ

今ノ私 綺麗デスカ？

喜ビヲ抱イテ狂イ咲ク 皆二顔ヲ見セタ

私ハ 永遠二ナル

醜イ顔ノ処女ノ 最後ハ誰ガ知ル

イツノ間ニカ 死ンデマシタ

### English lyrics

My face is more beautiful
than anyone else’s. All the ugly girls are jealous of me

Their faces looking like cut-up fish innards without
Make-up go well with their conniving gossip
Whenever I'm going out, all these idiotic guys are
approaching me. Doesn't anyone understand it? This feeling.

Everyone's been telling that peculiar girl
that her heart is corrupted.
I prepare my face
to continue living today as well

The emptiness engulfs and devours me,
as I collapsed crying
My beauty
has to last forever!
Loneliness, anger, cold eyes,
I took it inside me and cried.
I can't trust
anyone

They're all jealous that my face is even more
beautiful than yesterday
and tomorrow it will be
even more beautiful again.

Their secret wish
is to touch and ravish me
When I tease them, all these idiotic guys start approaching me.
It's fine, right? It's fine, right? Just this time.

Everyone told this easy girl
that her heart is corrupted.
I comb my hair and prepare my face,
looking stunning again today.

The sadness engulfed and devoured me,
makeup running down my crying face.
My beauty has to last
forever!

My heart, my body, everything
keeps changing bit by bit.
I hate it!
Someone, save me!

I'm prettier than anyone, than anyone, than anyone!

Everyone told that eccentric girl
that her feminine pride is messed up.
Plucking out my hair and cutting up my face...
Am I beautiful now?

The pleasure engulfed and devoured me,
as I showed my face to everyone
I will be
forever now!

Who'll know of
this ugly virgin's last breaths?
And before she knew it,
she was dead.
