A song that captures the complex feelings of a woman telling her ex that she’s found a new partner.

Ketsumeishi “Ballad”

A love ballad from Ketsumeishi that offers a different flavor from their usual cheerful image.

It’s a tear-jerker that gently yet poignantly sings of unfulfilled feelings for someone special, carried by a tender, aching melody.

With rap kept to a minimum and piano and strings that seep into the heart, this piece also surprised longtime fans as a bold departure.

Released in January 2011 as one half of a double A-side single and included on the classic album Ketsunopolis 7, it was also used as the theme song for Nippon TV’s information program Sukkiri!!.

If you sing it softly at karaoke—where upbeat tracks usually steal the show—its contrast will draw everyone in.

Why not showcase a new side of yourself with this hidden gem?

A shocking work that portrays a warped form of love.

Frenzied obsession and possessiveness are expressed through electronic sounds and Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals.

The conflict of excessive affection—desperately trying not to lose someone so precious you can’t take your eyes off them, yet ending up hurting them—is woven with DECO*27’s characteristically deft word choice.

Included on the album “Conti New,” released in March 2014, this piece may prompt you to face your own emotions when your feelings of love seem on the verge of running wild or when you’re suffering from attachment to someone important.
