Kimi Wa Dekinai Ko 

Kimi Wa Dekinai Ko (Japanese, 君はできない子, translation, You Are a Useless Child) is a song made by Kikuo featuring the beloved Hatsune Miku using singing voice synthesizer Vocaloid.

The song is about a mother constantly insulting her child by calling them a "useless child". At the end of the song, the child either disappears, dies, or (TW) commits suicide depending on how you interpret it, causing the mother to blame herself in the end and calls herself a "useless child".

Fun fact: Kimi Wa Dekinai Ko is Kikuo's 14th vocaloid song.
Romaji: Kimi wa dekinai, dekinai, dekinai ko, kono yo de ichiban dekinai ko.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
