Hollows...kujira

Kujira, who is active across a wide range of work as a music creator—from Vocaloid pieces to providing songs for artists.

This track, “Hollows…,” takes its title from meanings like cavity, space, and dent.

We often say “a hole left gaping in the heart,” and many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics that feel as if they’re drifting in an indescribable void.

Don’t you also find yourself spacing out and thinking endlessly about trivial things? That ineffable something is strung through the lyrics, making it a song that feels perfectly in tune with our times.

“White Promise,” the 10th digital-only single, for which member Root participated in composing.

The lyrics, depicting White Day scenes and that buoyant, fluttery feeling, lift your spirits along with the light, lively sound and beat.

Although it’s tricky to catch the rapid flow and the finely rising and falling melody, the key is low and the range isn’t wide, making it relatively approachable.

However, since there are many spoken parts in addition to the melody, be sure to listen closely to the ensemble and stay on the beat so you don’t fall behind.

Stpri is a six-member entertainment group that has gained popularity through a wide range of activities, including live broadcasts on YouTube and the web, as well as stage performances.

Their track Hoshi no Gotoku, included on their first digital-only EP Are You Ready?, also drew attention for being produced by Wasabi, the drummer of Wagakki Band.

The lyrics, which evoke the image of dreaming under the unchanging light of the stars, create a striking contrast with the Japanese-style ensemble.

It’s an uplifting number whose driving beat gives you a push and lifts your spirits.

Singer-songwriter Ayano Tsuji.

Be sure to check out her 2005 release “Hoshifuru Yoru no Christmas” (“Christmas on a Starry Night”), too.

It’s a Christmas-themed song that depicts deepening love with someone special on a beautiful, star-lit night.

While Ayano Tsuji is strongly associated with ukulele-and-vocals performances, this work incorporates piano and other elements, resulting in a more luxurious sound.

That fresh departure from her usual style may well be one reason it became a hit.

A striking example of how key changes can transform a song’s atmosphere is Teniwoha’s “Hakka.” It was included on their fourth album, “NO BOY,” released in 2021 after a five-year hiatus.

The music video for “Hakka” was uploaded to YouTube ahead of the album.

When the chorus hits, the song modulates to a different key than before, and the latter half of the chorus features a higher melodic line.

After the instrumental break, the final, climactic chorus shifts to an even higher melodic line, ramping up the excitement.

The heart can’t be seen, but with chocolate you can give your feelings a shape.

This is a Valentine’s song sung by the UTAU voicebank Kasane Teto.

Created by Vocaloid producer Torte, it was released in 2020.

The medium-tempo arrangement, resonating with piano tones, gives a cute impression.

The clumsy, honest, straightforward feelings expressed in the lyrics match the sound beautifully.

If you don’t have the courage to give chocolate to someone you like, please give it a listen.

It will surely give you a gentle push.

Singer-songwriter Nasuo☆ began her activities as a cover singer on YouTube around 2014 and made her major-label debut in 2022.

Her single Hoshikuzu Requiem, released on August 23, 2023, was selected as the ending theme for season 2 of the TV anime The Duke of Death and His Maid.

The lyrics, which evoke the image of gazing up at a starry sky, draw you into the song’s world along with its airy ensemble.

It’s a track you’ll want to keep listening to, marked by a cute vocal tone and a catchy pop arrangement.
