This is the track submitted to the anonymous song-posting event Musekinin Tōmei-sai (Uncolored/Transparent Festival).

Beyond the song itself, the stylish animated MV—featuring illustrations by Iyowa—also became a hot topic.

While the track gives off a cute, pop impression, its lyrics actually portray a worldview that seeks to explore the unknown with optimism, even amid feelings of loneliness and anxiety.

That contrast really gets you.

If you’re going to sing it, the key is to firmly memorize the rhythm of the melody—especially the downbeats!

Be sure to give this song a listen in the autumn winds of wistfulness.

It’s a 2022 October release by composer Iyowa, who captivates Vocaloid fans with tracks that balance originality and catchiness, created as a collaboration with the apparel brand shabondama.

You’ll find yourself absorbed by the pattering piano tones and Miku’s gentle vocals.

The tender message in the lyrics—“Don’t hold back; it’s okay to cry”—really hits home.

The more carefully you listen, the more charm you’ll discover.

It’s a song where beauty and fragility coexist.

Created by Iyowa, this track is a tie-in with Sanrio’s cross-media project “Mai Mai Maigoen” and was released in January 2023.

It delicately portrays the inner conflict and sense of duty of the lion character, resonating deeply with listeners.

Iyowa’s signature sound and the song’s driving momentum blend perfectly with the story’s worldview.

It has earned widespread support, achieving over two million views on YouTube.

The chorus is notably challenging.

You might be surprised by the sound image that bounces around in rapid succession.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for hits like “Kyukurarin,” released in 2020.

With its dizzying song structure and unpredictable melodic lines, it’s a work packed tightly with Iyowa’s musical sensibilities.

It sounds catchy, yet there’s a certain shadow to it—once you’re hooked, it’s hard to get away.

As the weather turns colder and the season’s atmosphere gives you more to think about, this might really hit home.

“Muko” is read as “muko,” a word meaning “innocence” or “being without sin.” It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for their distinctive musicality, released in 2019.

The sound arrangement, which feels like the audio has been roughly cut and pasted together, really sticks in your ears.

Yet the melody is catchy, and that contrast is, conversely, unsettling.

It’s a love song that pours out feelings for a beloved “you”… but as for its content and the meaning of the title, I encourage you to interpret them yourself.

That way, it’ll give you even more chills.

The song was specially written as the official theme for the Hokkaido-supporting festival “SNOW MIKU 2026.” Created around the theme of “Happy Patisserie,” it’s a pop piece brimming with dessert-like sweetness and a festive vibe.

Give it a listen whenever you want to warm your heart!
