Stalk – Japanese versionShiina Ringo
The single’s English-lyric version was reworked into Japanese lyrics, featuring a rich, dramatic arrangement centered on strings and band sounds.
It has a strong Japanese flavor and truly embodies the overall concept of the 3rd album “Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana,” which is the fusion of Japanese and Western elements.
It’s characterized by quite a low register, so it should be perfect for those who are good with low voices.
However, if you sing it too evenly, it may become monotonous, so it’s better to project firmly in the chorus.
Try to resonate in the head so your voice doesn’t get muffled!

Since the album itself feels like a summation of their career, longtime fans will no doubt feel a surge of joy listening to it.
Its pop, danceable beat is sure to blow away the blues.
Give it a spin when you’re troubled by love or in need of a burst of positive energy!

The sinuous low end intertwines with GUMI’s vocals, creating a powerful hook that sticks in your head after just one listen.
In August 2024, it was added to the popular rhythm game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!” (Project SEKAI), sending many listeners into a frenzy.
