Early summer rainpotensharu0
This is a track produced by Potential 0, a Vocaloid producer who finds happiness in getting people to nod their heads to music.
As you listen, you can’t help but sway your body and fall into the rhythm.
It’s crafted around down-to-earth human emotions—like anger and solace toward the people around us and society at large.
Oh, glorious early summermowamowa P
It’s a refreshing waltz-style song, but… It’s a piece by Mowamowa-P, known for tracks like “Pollen Season,” released in 2009.
The extremely straightforward lyrics sparked a lot of discussion.
Describing those lyrics here is difficult for several reasons, so please take a look for yourself.
I’d like to live this honestly, too… That said, the tune itself is truly pleasant and will put you in a relaxed mood.
Perfect for a sunny day in May.
A Meddlesome Rosetennen
This is a sequel—or rather, a parallel-world take—on the laid-back song “Damdam-kun.” It’s a great track with amazing harmonies, themed around roses in full bloom in May and a protagonist suffering from the May blues.
If you’re curious about “Damdam-kun,” try searching for it on Nico Nico Douga.
Garden of Ashuramainasu P
From the songs by the creator circle “WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY!”, I’ve selected ones I want you to listen to in May.
It’s a very cool, Japanese-style rock track, especially with the PV.
The koto and Japanese flute blend exquisitely with the band sound.
Kagamine Yatsuhana Flower Battlemoja P
It’s an addictive, Japanese-style rock piece arranged like a Kabuki performance.
The shamisen is performed live by the Vocaloid producer themselves, and seasonal motifs are woven into the lyrics.
Since it includes one for May, be sure to listen for it.
Also, learning the traditional card game Hanafuda will make it even more enjoyable.

There wasn’t nearly enough time.Ramāzu P
For those of you whose new life still hasn’t settled down even after May has started, how about this track? It’s a piece by Lamaze-P, the creator of “PoPiPo,” released in 2017.
Even though there’s so much to do, you end up playing games or watching movies… It’s about that kind of shortage of time.
Totally relatable, right? The song has an upbeat vibe that will lift your spirits.
Put it on as BGM and power through your tasks!
mythic functiongankyuu P
It’s a song whose lyrics are sprinkled with sparkling things like gemstones—jade and ruby, the birthstones of May.
The guitar arrangement is wonderful.
By the way, Eyeball-P says the inspiration to make this song came from a moment when they opened their wallet and found only a 50-yen coin and a 10-yen coin inside.
