craving love?emon

A downer-style Yuki Uta song with a burbling, throbbing bass that’s addictive.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer emon, also known for “being loved,” released in May 2024.

It calmly weaves the inner feelings of a heart starved for love, letting you taste fear and empathy at the same time.

Yuki’s husky vocals also match the mood and lyrics perfectly.

Since emon has made many works with this kind of atmosphere, if you’re into this worldview, be sure to dig into the other tracks as well.

This piece expresses the fun of Halloween through music.

Released in September 2015, the song is characterized by a unique atmosphere that blends horror and cuteness.

The lyrics incorporate Halloween-themed elements like “sweets” and a “magical night,” creating a richly fantastical world.

Thanks to its catchy sound, it was widely used in 2024 as a track for twin dances during Halloween.

Embraced as a Halloween song, the work helped popularize and cement the genre of Halloween music within Japan’s music scene.

What is my true self, my true feelings? This song is infused with that sentiment.

Created by Shitoo and released in December 2022, it features philosophical lyrics brought to life by the voices of CeVIO AI and Harui.

It feels like a snapshot of everyday life, yet with each listen, deeper meanings unfold—a mysterious charm.

The distinctive worldbuilding is uniquely Shitoo’s, who also handles the illustrations and video.

The music video, born from the fusion of intricate visuals and sound, is a must-see.

It’s a track I especially hope teens in the midst of their youth will listen to.

This song, produced by Jin, who was born in Hokkaido in 1990, is used as a theme for an anime for which he also wrote the script.

The part of the song that uses the Canon progression is the chorus.

Although the Canon progression doesn’t usually evoke a very intense image, depending on the rhythm and melody, it’s sometimes used in climactic choruses.

It’s impressive how the Canon progression can work both gently and intensely like this.

That’s probably why so many songs are composed using the Canon progression.

The lyrics also convey the joy of spending special time with someone important.

Each member’s distinct, expressive voice is another charm.

How about singing it together with a partner or friends?
