Idle days of silly fantasiesPinokio P
PinocchioP made his major debut in 2012 and has continued releasing songs ever since.
His 66th track is “Kūsō Shōmonai Hibi” (“Imaginary Silly Days”).
This work is characterized by a pop sound featuring bright, beepy high-pitched electronic tones.
Hatsune Miku’s vocals also reach quite high notes.
The combination of these two elements results in a uniquely original piece unlike any other.
By the way, the title phrase is sung with slight variations within the song—listen carefully to catch them.

How could someone come up with an idea like this…? Released in April 2022, this work by Furokuro expresses the “redaction” in its title as a censor beep in the vocals, leaving you irresistibly curious about its true meaning.
What exactly are the words being blacked out in the lyrics…? Furokuro’s pieces are all peppered with clever twists that make you suddenly gasp when you notice them, so be sure to delve into your own interpretation.

Singer-songwriter Maharajan, known for his distinctive look of a suit paired with a turban, has written his first-ever anime theme song: “Kurae! Telepathy,” the opening theme for the anime Tomo-chan Is a Girl! Its driving beat and catchy melody create a refreshing sound.
Midway through the track, there’s also a chiptune-like synth section that really evokes the feel of “telepathy.” In addition to a music video produced in an ’80s anime style, there’s also a collaboration version with Tomo-chan Is a Girl!, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out both!

Classic MashupRan Ran × Tsuchiya Tao × Soshina
A mashup doesn’t have to be limited to just two pieces.
With that in mind, I’d like to introduce the “Classical Mashup.” This is a single track created by pianist Lang Lang, Tao Tsuchiya, and Soshina to commemorate the release of “100 Classics of Rassic.” In it, the three of them each play different classical masterpieces on the piano.
What’s even more astonishing is that 24 pieces are mashed up within about five minutes.
It’s not just combinations—the music keeps changing, offering a curious, ever-shifting listening experience.
