The Subject and Absinthetsuru
Tsuru began focusing in earnest on activities as a Vocaloid producer in March 2023.
They have been drawing attention with the November 2025 album release “and,then” and a series of projects linked to their self-made game.
In the past, as a member of the band Puss in Boots, they performed on stage at ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL in the summer of 2018.
They also make music under the singer name “Toono Nemuri.” Their appeal lies in an alternative sound and lyrics with a delicate, autobiographical narrative quality.

It’s a rock number that’s quintessential Okuda Tamio, where a powerful band sound coexists with a laid-back sense of humor.

It feels hot-blooded yet carries a contradictory nuance of “let’s take it easy,” making it more flavorful the more you listen.
This track was the B-side of the single “Coffee,” released in May 1995, and is also included on the album “30.” It’s a perfect song for moments that tend to devolve into sheer guts-and-glory talk, when you want to loosen your shoulders and take on the challenge.
