Colorless Self-Harm25 ji, naitokōdo de. × Hatsune Miku

The delicate piano melody and the fragile, vanishingly soft vocals send shivers through my heart.

This work is a cover by Nigo of a masterpiece crafted by Nekobōro, also known as Sasanomaly.

The earnest lyrics that question one’s own worth resonate deeply through the vocals of Kanade Yoisaki and Mafuyu Asahina.

With a calm tempo and few wide leaps in range, it should be easy to keep the rhythm and sing.

If you deliver it gently at karaoke, you might just transform the atmosphere of the room.

Artificial Enemyjin

The exhilarating, fast-paced guitar rock sound is thrilling and cool! Released in February 2011, this was Jin’s first work as a Vocaloid producer and the memorable first installment of the Kagerou Project.

It’s included on the album Mekakucity Days, and its arrangement—where intense band sound blends with digital noise—gives you the sensation of being pulled straight into the story’s world just by listening.

The lyrics, seemingly spoken from the perspective of an entity inside a computer screen to a “you” who’s turning your back on reality, are also striking.

Why not start by listening to this origin point?

These Daysday after tomorrow

A poignant number by day after tomorrow that was selected as the ending theme for the variety show “Miracle Experience! Unbelievable.” Its heartrending melody blends beautifully with glittering digital sounds, tightening my chest every time I listen.

The lyrics evoke after-school classrooms and twilight cityscapes, conveying feelings for the friends who have grown up and gone their separate ways, while misono’s soaring vocals further heighten the nostalgia.

It was also included on the triple A-side single “moon gate,” released in September 2003, as well as the album “primary colors.”
