[Suite] KAFU × Kujira #97 “Spring Sunlight” [Original MV]

It’s a captivating track with shimmering synthesizers and guitar that sparkle like gentle spring sunshine! Virtual singer Kafu teams up with Kujira, a creator who got his start as a Vocaloid producer.

Without any explicit words of farewell in the lyrics, it vividly depicts fleeting inner landscapes and memories just before graduation, tenderly overlapping with the listener’s own recollections.

This upbeat, breezy song was released in March 2022 as the sixth installment of the project commemorating Kafu’s third anniversary.

Holding a touch of bittersweetness yet guiding you forward with a bright, pop melody, it’s perfect as BGM for a smile-filled graduation video—an ideal tune to share with cherished friends!

Unable to become an adult

This work gently sings of the importance of embracing loneliness and ordinariness.

Through images of the stillness of a moonless night and scattering light into the darkness, its warm lyrics, which handle a fragile heart with care, resonate deeply.

Kujira centers themes of self-acceptance and growth, beautifully expressing young people’s emotions within a unique worldview.

This piece serves as the theme song for the February 2025 film “My Senpai Is a Boy: Rain, Then Clear,” showcasing the delicate musicality honed on the albums “Until I Can Love Life” and “Vegetable Drawer.” It’s a wonderful song that stays close to the subtle feelings of youth—days at a school festival spent with dear friends, the anxiety and confusion felt while searching for one’s true self.

Kujira – Selfish / Whaledontsleep – Be a Good Egoist (Music Video)

Kujira is a singer-songwriter also known as a Vocaloid producer.

A male singer renowned for his high notes, he’s gained popularity with sophisticated compositions that draw on his background as a Vocaloid P.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Wagamama.

This song uses the “Just the Two of Us” progression that’s been showing up incredibly often in recent J-pop, and it features frequent falsetto lines.

It also carries a slightly Black music vibe, so you’ll need a good sense of groove to pull it off.

Give it a try.

This is a highly addictive Vocaloid track that opens with stylish guitar cutting.

Kujira – Hollows… (Official Video)

Kujira, who is active across a wide range of work as a music creator—from Vocaloid pieces to providing songs for artists.

This track, “Hollows…,” takes its title from meanings like cavity, space, and dent.

We often say “a hole left gaping in the heart,” and many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics that feel as if they’re drifting in an indescribable void.

Don’t you also find yourself spacing out and thinking endlessly about trivial things? That ineffable something is strung through the lyrics, making it a song that feels perfectly in tune with our times.
