The song used in the Rushformer web commercial “#KosoTech – Secret Techniques for You Who Keep Trying” was specially written by the girls’ post-rock band paranoid void.

Known for their instrumentals that weave in odd meters and polyrhythms, their sound is solid and full of dynamic shifts—so cool! It’s also interesting how the switches sync with the pacing of the commercial.

The guitar riff is so catchy that once you hear it, it won’t leave your head.

Since it’s instrumental, it also makes great BGM to elevate your makeup time or any special moments!
