Uta-nee Yuki “Don’t Go” (remaster)

This is a song that unfolds with a lively rhythm, both refreshing and bittersweet, evoking the feeling of summer.

It is Sota’s eighth work.

[Hatsune Miku] Meru [Original] Hatsune Miku – Meru

Each time I listened to it again and again, my own interpretation deepened, and before I knew it, I was in tears.

I can’t help wondering what happened to this girl afterward, and the fact that the outcome can feel completely opposite depending on my mood when I listen—that, too, is part of the song’s appeal.

To My Precious People / feat. Hatsune Miku

When the song began and I saw the first lyrics, I was already done for.

After that, I could hardly manage to listen to the song while looking at the lyrics.

Pressing my fingertips to my eyes, I simply listened as the vocals and piano flowed by.

All I could do was earnestly wish and pray for the happiness of someone precious to me.

Though it carries a sense of loneliness, it’s a song that remains gentle to the very end.

But You Know feat. KAF – Atsu Mizuno

One of the charms of Vocaloid is how it conveys a wide range of emotions despite its mechanical singing voice.

If you’re looking for a bittersweet, delicate ballad, “Demo ne” is perfect.

Created in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Atsu Mizuno—who’s garnered attention for many songs featuring KAFU—this track’s simple yet moving sound, built from piano and vocals, is sure to bring tears.

KAFU’s emotional singing, which feels strikingly human, is also a must-hear.

It’s a masterpiece that can support your heart when love or life isn’t going your way.

Until I throw away my dreams and become an adult / feat. Hatsune Miku

This song vividly portrays the inner turmoil that wavers between reality and dreams, recognizing that the period in life when we can truly do what we want is very short.

I don’t even know whether I have the choice to pursue my dream of becoming an artist or not.

Living between dreams and reality is painful, isn’t it?
