DECO*27 – Telepathy feat. Hatsune Miku

A high-energy track that turns the frustration of not being able to get your feelings across to your crush into explosive power.

It’s a song released by DECO*27—known for hits like “Hibana”—in February 2025.

It comically portrays the hectic, adolescent brand of puppy love, weaving in internet-native wordplay and coinages.

The arrangement features tepe, with bass by Akita Horie, giving the sound tremendous punch! If your heart’s unsettled from unrequited love, listening to this track will give you the power to even enjoy that restlessness!

m-flo loves YOSHIKA / let go

I heard this at a club and fell in love with it at first listen.

It’s a breakup song, but the vocals and melody are so good that I was completely drawn in.

I think it’s a stylish breakup song.

It also portrays the pain and regret of heartbreak, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in those feelings.
