It might be perfect to listen to while feeling the mildness of March.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer tama, released in 2020.

A refreshing pop tune marked by distinctive guitar arpeggios, it features a wonderfully catchy melody line.

However, the lyrics, which speak of passing time and fading memories, give it a slightly bittersweet touch.

When you listen to this song, whose face will come to your mind?

This is a cute song where Hatsune Miku SWEET’s sugary vocals match perfectly with the lyrics.

While it’s a breakup song that weaves in some intense words, the catchy sound both highlights them and keeps everything in harmony—impressive work.

It’s also fun how the lyrics resonate when sung, and how you catch a faint hint of a Chinese flavor in the musical style.

If you like fast-paced, Japanese-style tracks like “Senbonzakura,” I recommend “Sakurafubuki to Oborozuki.” The BPM is quite high, but thanks to the well-tuned Vocaloid, it’s an easy listen.

Not only the melody but also the lyrics are crafted in a traditional Japanese style, making it a highly polished piece.

Fragments of You and Menaifushī.

With its sparkling, techno vibe that’s stylish and cute, this is a heartbreak song with a little sting.

The lyrics, rich in masterful metaphors, are profoundly lyrical and strikingly beautiful.

If love makes the heart shimmer, then perhaps when it scatters, it too falls in glittering, fluttering flakes like cherry blossoms—lovely and delicate.

With its sense of speed in the melody and the sentimental feelings just before graduation blending together, the song comes across as fresh and light.

The Eurobeat-inspired style pairs beautifully with the guitar solo, letting you enjoy that fast-paced coolness as well.

According to the creator, the song evokes the empty feeling a few days after the graduation ceremony.

You tend to feel closer to adulthood after graduating than before, don’t you? IA’s slightly mature-sounding vocals emphasize that feeling.

This piece, Dream Sakura, is striking for its exhilarating violin performance.

The chorus deliberately avoids rising in pitch, giving it a cool feel that’s easy to listen to without catching on the ear.

It’s recommended for fans of cool, stylish Vocaloid tracks.

It was released on Niconico in 2009.
