Layered Dreams. / Kasane Teto, Female 1

An emotional poetry reading piece where Kasane Teto’s singing and narration layer upon each other in multiple folds.

The track is by Haniwa of the American Folk Song Research Society and was released in January 2026.

The song originally debuted on the compilation album “Uso no Tsuzukikata,” distributed at an event in April 2025.

You’ll be drawn in by the contrast between Teto’s rambling, conversational delivery and the solemn melodic line.

Let yourself be swept away by these waves of sound.

More than regression, it’s a human, cute, and catastrophic life!!!ǢǪ

ǢǪ – More than regression, a human, cute, and catastrophic life!!!

An emo, alternative number that grabs your heart with the sheer impulse to live.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer ǢǪ, included in the compilation album “Eingebrannt,” releasing in August 2025.

The blend of its raw, rugged sound with the earnest vocals of StarDust Infinity is irresistible.

The lyrics depict a longing for the brilliance of life—so intense it borders on ruin—guided by visceral sensations like cells and a beating heart.

The repeated cries feel like a soul laid bare, and listening to it makes your chest burn.

On nights when your heart is a mess with uncontrollable emotions, immerse yourself in this world.

Self-Indulgence – Otomachi Una

This is a guitar rock track whose appeal lies in its punchy sound and the piercing vocals of Otomachi Una.

Composed by Komedawara, it was released in May 2020.

The structure is fresh, starting abruptly with vocals and no intro, from which a lyrical arrangement and a wistful melody intertwine.

The lyrics, which calmly recount everyday despair and resignation, overlap with the dynamics that open up dramatically in the chorus, powerfully stirring the listener’s emotions.

It’s dark yet somehow pop, and that exquisite balance draws you in.

Give it a listen when your heart is tired, yet you still want to face forward.
