Misumi – Desire to Express feat. Nurse Robo_Type T

This is a work released in July 2025 by Misumi, a Vocaloid producer who is also well-regarded as the composer for DUSTCELL.

The theme of the song is the unceasing thirst in creative work and the anguish that comes with it.

Its worldview feels like an embodiment of a creator’s cry from the heart, leaving a deep impression.

The contrast between the fast-paced composition and Nurse Robo_Type T’s cool vocals is striking as well.

For those driven by the urge to express something, or when you want to confront your inner emotions more deeply, listening to this will surely help open a new door.

Thanks for the service ending / Kasane Teto SV

This is a work by Vocaloid producer Abaraya, themed around the phrase “service termination.” The lyrics strikingly convey both a sense of crisis about eventually coming to an end and the will to keep moving forward in spite of it.

From beneath the humorous wording, a deep emotion wafts through.

The cool electronic sound is also highly addictive—guaranteed to be on repeat.

Whether you’re lost in thought or want to surrender yourself to the music, this track fits.

RADIAL / Kyohei Kitazawa feat. Hatsune Miku

A song by Vocaloid producer Kyohei Kitazawa, released in June 2025.

Its lyrics, depicting the stifling repetition of everyday life and a deep sense of loneliness, and its heavy, dark sound infused with trap elements will resonate with you long after a single listen.

Hatsune Miku’s delicate vocals blend exquisitely into this cinematic world as well.

On nights when you’re troubled by something and feel there’s no way out, why not immerse yourself in this world and let it sink in?

[GUMI] “phi” by Amenomurakumo-P

The piano’s tone resonates warmly at times, and poignantly at others.

Released in May 2022, this work is a piano-and-vocal piece with a retro vibe.

You’ll be drawn in by GUMI’s transparent vocals and the philosophical lyrics that question how we live.

It naturally makes you ponder what “rightness” really is.

When you want to reexamine your true self, this song might offer something to work with.

The lyrics explore themes of pursuing originality, feelings of self-loss, and hope for the future, resonating deeply with anyone searching for their true self.

Palm of the Hand / Kasane Teto SV – Natsuo Aoya

This song, released by Natsuo Aoya in February 2024, features the captivating, straightforward vocals of Kasane Teto.

It’s a work that gently accompanies the loneliness and anxiety we feel in society, expressing the sentiment: “I might be worried things won’t go well, but let’s believe in tomorrow and keep living.” Many people will surely relate to the lyrics that question one’s own value.

I think this song can be a great source of strength when you feel your mood starting to sink.
