It’s an impressive Vocaloid tune that sharply calls out problems on the internet.

Released by Eipu in August 2024, the track pairs Kasane Teto’s firm, resonant vocals perfectly with a brisk beat.

The lyrics humorously yet cynically liken online slander to “heatstroke.” While depicting the dark side of social media, its catchy melody pulls listeners in.

For those raised on the internet, it may feel like one “so true” after another.

A recommended track for anyone who wants to sway to the rhythm while savoring a dose of satire about modern society!

“HIT NUMBER — EVISBEATS and PUNCH REMIX,” included on her first mini-album Strike, leaves a lingering impression with its stylish yet nostalgic lyrics set to a laid-back shuffle beat.

Its delicate arrangement and clear, translucent vocals might soothe a tired heart.

It’s an urban track you’ll want to listen to when you’re alone at night.

This is a Vocaloid track that portrays a precarious relationship and a one-night romance.

Created by Camellia, a Vocaloid producer who also works under the name Masaya Oya, it was released in 2022.

Its rhythmically jazz-based sound is cool and stylish, and one of its hallmarks is the EDM-like developments that appear in sections such as the interludes.

Before you know it, your body will start swaying on its own as you listen.

And the lyrics’ worldview is enough to make your heart race just by reading them.

The song as a whole exudes a mature atmosphere!

As the video title suggests, I think it’s best listened to before going to bed.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Kisara, released in 2020.

The gentle sound, featuring acoustic timbres like acoustic guitar, glockenspiel, and wood bass, is truly soothing.

Hime Naruka’s whisper-like singing voice is lovely as well.

With this kind of mood, even small children who don’t understand the words yet would probably enjoy listening.

How about ending your day with this song?

Kujira – Storing Light (Official Video)

Mr.

Kujira, who made his debut by posting videos on platforms like YouTube, released a song titled “Hikari wo Tameru” (“Storing Light”), which sings about the fragility of everyday life and the feeling of happiness.

It highlights relatable moments—like brewing coffee or going to the laundromat—and captures the emotion in those scenes.

That’s why I think listeners can really relate to it.

Another highlight is his singing, which makes full use of his high-pitched voice.

The sudden shift from low to high notes expresses a surge of emotion.
