[Hatsune Miku] Dawn and Fireflies [Original]

Perhaps because of its relaxed rhythm, listening to it gives me the sensation of trudging along.

It’s a track by n-buna, a Vocaloid producer who also works as the composer for the band Yorushika, released in 2014.

It was also included on the 2015 album “Flowers and Syrup, Last Train.” It’s a very quiet rock number that effectively incorporates rests and muted guitar techniques.

But at the song’s climax, it unfolds like waves of sound surging in.

The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia, and the emotional sound likewise stirs the heart.
