[Kagamine Rin] Kokoro [Original Song]

It’s a popular Vocaloid song that was adapted into both a novel and a stage play.

It was released on Nico Nico Douga in 2008 by Toraboruta-P.

The work has a strong narrative: a robot created by a scientist attains a “heart.” I’ll leave the details for you to discover yourself, but in any case, it’s heartbreaking.

By the end, it truly brings you to tears.

While the arrangement is built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm, perhaps due to the timbre of the strings, it feels less like “upbeat music” and more like a piece with a grand, expansive worldview.

As long as I live / feat. Fukase

Tota Kasamura, who has worked on many piano ballads.

One of his pieces that’s drawing attention for its powerful message is “Ikite-sae.” It portrays the loss of self-esteem through repeated failures, yet its lyrics ultimately tell you that as long as you’re alive, you’ll be okay.

Combined with Fukase’s gentle voice, it really stirs the heart.

Another appeal is that it’s packed with phrases that make you want to burst into tears.

Even those who don’t usually cry when listening to music will surely be moved to tears.

Produced by Vocaloid producer halyosy in 2008, he’s known for grand ballads like Sakura no Ame, but this track features a band sound brimming with speed and energy.

[Megurine Luka] Double Lariat [HD]

There are people who aren’t rewarded no matter how hard they try, and there may also be people who gain fame without making any effort.

This song can be described as one that sings about striving for the top, even if it means crawling on the ground.

With its simple lyrics and humorous music video, it’s an easy-to-listen-to pop song, but when you think about the meaning of the words, you’re overcome by a quiet sense of emotion.
