Set to a bright, bouncing beat, this addictive piece paints the cruelty of reality with a cynical touch.

Created by PinocchioP, a Vocaloid producer who captivates listeners with a unique worldview, the track was released in January 2026.

It also serves as the opening number of the album “UNDERWORLD,” released the same month.

The theme is brilliant: expressing the bravado of “pretend play,” where we keep dancing through everyday life with a straight face no matter how hurt we are.

It’s a song where clarity and murkiness coexist—one I especially want people to hear if they’re feeling a little worn out by daily life yet still forcing a smile to get through it.
