This track weaves Kasane Teto’s distinctive vocals into an electronic sound with a subtly languid atmosphere.

Released by Poroporoporopo in March 2025, the song is striking for the contrast between its light, lively beat and lyrics steeped in negative emotions.

Many listeners will likely relate to the way the song unfolds like a confession of failure and regret.

When you’re in an introspective mood, this track speaks for your thoughts.

Pilgrimage Without PrayersSatsuki

Pilgrimage Without Prayer / Kasane Teto, Adachi Rei, Utane Uta

This is a Vocaloid song that portrays a journey of facing your true self—neither self-admonishment nor mere ornamentation.

Created by Satsuki, it was released in February 2025.

The call-and-response between three UTAU voicebanks—Kasane Teto, Adachi Rei, and Utane Uta—adds a nuanced flavor, and the energetic sound that fuses electronic music with rock leaves a strong impression.

The lyrics, which capture the resolve to carve out your own path without praying for miracles and the struggle to find something universal, resonate deeply.

I think it’s an UTAU track that can really fire you up.

It’s goodbye

This is a breakup song that realizes the distance between longing and reality.

Created by Miru Nakase, it was included on the album “i m u,” released in June 2025, with a music video released in September.

The protagonist’s feeling—being drawn precisely because the other person was so different—comes across painfully through IA’s clear, transparent vocals.

The dramatic sound, which unfolds from a quiet beginning into an outpouring of emotion, is also striking.

On nights when you face alone the unbridgeable gap with someone precious, this work will surely stay by your side.

Its intricately shifting melody lines, changing like waves that ebb and flow, seize the listener’s heart and never let go.

Give it a listen when you want to sink into the feeling of never waking from a midsummer dream.
