[Hatsune Miku] Babylon [Original Song] sm14332782

Pisces, the zodiac sign for March, is said to originate from ancient Mesopotamian civilization.

“Babylon” refers to an ancient city in the Mesopotamian region, and this song portrays that Babylon.

Its rapid-fire vocals and upbeat melody are addictive.

The Town Where Spring Never Comesaruku hito

A Town Where Spring Never Comes / Hatsune Miku

A bit unusual, this “A Town Where Spring Never Comes” simultaneously carries a sense of cuteness and an inorganic atmosphere.

Judging by the title alone, it might seem like a dark song, but the lyrics are, surprisingly, crafted to be positive.

As for the musical style, the beginning feels quiet, then shifts to an emotional sound when the chorus arrives.

I tried singing “letter song” [Wotamin ver.].

“letter song” by doriko, who has released numerous moving masterpieces.

Its gentle melody and heartrending lyrics really hit home.

What will things be like in ten years? What were they like ten years ago? It’s a track you’ll want to listen to together with “Yuuhizaka.”

Fragments of SpringNem

Pieces of Spring / Hatsune Miku

This piece, Shards of Spring, features a quiet, piano-centered sound that leaves a strong impression.

As the title suggests, it’s a spring-themed composition.

The opening unfolds with a deep melody that evokes the deep sea, while the chorus is crafted to be bright and evocative of spring.

It’s a work that’s truly engaging to listen to.

Starting line*Luna

Start Line / *Luna feat. IA

Speaking of March, it’s graduation season—so how about this? This piece is by the Vocaloid producer *Luna, known for a transparent, shimmering musical style, and was released in 2018.

It was included on the album “Footsteps of Spring – Step of Youth –.” It’s a driving rock tune whose brilliant strings and piano tones linger in your ears.

Holding the memories of your school days close as you move on to the next chapter… many listeners will surely resonate with the lyrics’ worldview.

If you’re feeling anxious about the future, listening to this might just blow those worries away.

Sentimental affectionnatsume chiaki

Sentimental Love Affection / Chiaki Natsume feat. GUMI (Sentimental love Heart / Chiaki Natsume feat. GUMI)

This is a song about a bittersweet breakup that you have to bring up yourself, even though it’s hard to start the conversation.

GUMI’s vocal tuning is truly superb—especially the falsetto as it reaches the high notes, which sounds like Megumi Nakajima’s live singing.

I’d love for you to listen with that in mind.

STEP TO YOU40mP

(English sub)【Hatsune Miku 40mP】STEP TO YOU（PV version)

This is “STEP TO YOU,” produced by 40mP.

It’s one of the earliest songs from the Vocaloid scene, and its comfortable yet exhilarating melody—so characteristic of 40mP—is irresistibly catchy.

I also hope you’ll listen to the acoustic version, which features 40mP himself on piano.
