Plum Blossoms and Nightingales / Akane and Aoi Kotonoha

Isn’t “sophistication” the perfect word for a piece like this? Ume ni Uguisu by the Vocaloid producer r-906 was released in February 2024.

It’s a cool electronic tune whose melodic lines carry a distinctly Japanese flavor.

The sound arrangement is razor-sharp, yet somehow imbued with a sense of weightless drift—that paradox is fascinating.

Give it a listen when you want to feel the changing of the seasons, or when you’re longing for warmer weather.

If you want to try listening to electronic-style Vocaloid tracks, this is a must.

It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer sea-no, released in 2015.

From the intro, the world it creates pulls you right in—each sound feels like it has a will of its own and is in motion.

Hatsune Miku’s raspy singing voice is also striking.

Even when we say “spring,” everyone experiences it differently, right? When you feel like, “At this starting point, I want to reset everything,” I think this song fits perfectly.

[GUMI] Flight Instinct [Original Song]

Tōsō Honnō by Last Note.

In March, many students have late-term exams and national/public university entrance exams coming up, and I imagine quite a few feel like running away.

This track is uptempo, and its headlong, full-throttle vibe is addictive.

Thanks.MISTRAY

Thanks.

Speaking of idol-style Vocaloid songs, isn’t “Arigato” the perfect example? The melody is crafted to be extremely catchy.

It feels similar to listening to songs by Sakamichi-series idols.

The lyrics evoke spring imagery that fits perfectly with March.

Double-Eyelid Glaze / GUMI – aquabug

This is an EDM track with a lovely, floaty feel—like the temperature gradually warming up.

It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer aquabug, released in 2021.
