Background

On February 12, just one day after the song is uploaded, it ranked first in the Weekly VOCALOID Ranking. It reached the Nico Hall of Fame on February 16, 2009 (5 days after it was uploaded) and reached one million views on November 20, 2010.

This song uses the "Iroha", an old Japanese poem famous for its perfect pangram, containing each character of the Japanese syllabary only once. The poem was used as an ordering for the syllabary in old Japan.

There are various interpretations to the song, one being that it tells a story of a servant and a master, the servant being willing to do and be anything the master commands. Another common interpretation would be the song talks about a couple of lovers.

"Iroha Uta" is featured on the compilation albums EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalogenesis feat. 初音ミク, EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalogemini feat. 鏡音リン・レン and Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- extend Complete Collection, among others.

Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
アナタガ望ムノナラバ	anata ga nozomu no naraba
犬ノヤウニ従順ニ	inu no you ni juujun ni
紐ニ縄ニ鎖ニ	himo ni nawa ni kusari ni
縛ラレテアゲマセウ	shibararete agemashou

アルイハ子猫ノヤウニ	aruiwa koneko no you ni
愛クルシクアナタヲ	aikurushiku anata o
指デ足デ唇デ	yubi de ashi de kuchibiru de
喜バセテアゲマセウ	yorokobasete agemashou

どちらが先に　溺れただとか	dochira ga saki ni oboreta da to ka
そんなこと　どうでもいいの	sonna koto dou de mo ii no

色は匂へど散りぬるを	iroha nihoheto chirinuru o
我が世誰ぞ常ならん	waga yo dare zo tsune naran
知りたいの　もっともっと深くまで	shiritai no motto motto fukaku made

有為の奥山今日越えて	ui no okuyama kyou koete
浅き夢見じ酔ひもせず	asaki yume miji yoi mo sezu
染まりましょう　アナタの色	somarimashou anata no
ハニホヘトチリヌルヲ	iroha nihoheto chirinuru o

(Ahhhhh....)	(Ahhhhh....)

例ヘバ椿ノヤウニ	tatoeba tsubaki no you in
冬ニ咲ケト云フナラ	fuyu ni sake to iu nara
雪ニ霜ニ身体ヲ	yuki ni shimo ni karada o
晒シテ生キマセウ	sarashite ikimashou

アルイハ気高ヒ薔薇ノ	aruiwa kedakai bara no
散リ際ガ見タヒナラ	chirigiwa ga mitai nara
首ニ髪ニ香リヲ	kubi ni kami ni kaori o
纏ワセテ逝キマセウ	matowasete ikimashou

骨の髄まで　染まってもまだ	hone no zui made somatte mo mada
それだけじゃ　物足りないの	sore dake ja monotarinai no

色は匂へど散りぬるを	iroha nihoheto chirinuru o
我が世誰ぞ常ならん	waga yo dare zo tsune naran
知りたいの　もっともっと深くまで	shiritai no motto motto fukaku made

有為の奥山今日越えて	ui no okuyama kyou koete
浅き夢見じ酔ひもせず	asaki yume miji yoi mo sezu
変わりましょう　アナタの為に嗚呼	kawarimashou anata no tame ni

(Ahhhh....)	(Ahhhh....)

色は匂へど散りぬるを	iroha nihoheto chirinuru o
我が世誰ぞ常ならん	waga yo dare zo tsune naran

有為の奥山今日越えて	ui no okuyama kyou koete
浅き夢見じ酔ひもせず	asaki yume miji yoi mo sezu
堕ちましょう　アナタと	ochimashou anata to
イロハニホヘト　ドコマデモ	iroha nihoheto doko made mo
