Mud Bug / Kasane Teto SV

Wishing to become beautiful shouldn’t be a sin.

This work carries a message that affirms a desire everyone holds in some way.

Kanzaki Iori released it digitally in August 2025 and unveiled the music video that November.

Teto Kasane SV’s gritty vocals and the rock sound violently stir up those muddy emotions that build up in the heart.

You want to be alone but still want to be loved—its appeal lies in how powerfully it stands by that irreconcilable feeling and affirms your entire being.

The word choices—distinctive of Kanzaki Iori, who also works as a novelist—pierce the heart alongside the pixel animation.

I especially want you to listen on nights when you can’t love yourself, when you feel down after comparing yourself to someone else.

This is a track where Kagamine Rin’s earnest vocals hit you straight in the heart.

Created by Vocaloid producer Nio, it was released in December 2025.

Over a pop-leaning sound, it weaves together the fear that lurks behind everyday life and the strength to keep moving while carrying it.

Rather than erasing fear, its message—accepting it as a part of yourself that keeps you alive—resonates deeply.
