ValericoMikito P feat. GUMI

Mikito-P “Valerico” MV

“Valerii-ko” is a popular song released in 2018 by Mikito-P, a well-known Vocaloid producer.

It portrays a schoolgirl’s love life and her feelings for an upperclassman.

The protagonist is a girl with a dual nature, a bit free-spirited.

There are some alluring, mysterious expressions, so it’s not a straightforward pure love song, but in terms of being addictive, it’s a highly recommended romance track.

You couldn’t call it innocent, but the way she still puts on a persona—that’s just what a girl in love does, isn’t it?

Hey, senpai.Anjurumu

S/mileage – Nee Senpai

The idol group S/mileage from Hello! Project, produced by Tsunku♂, later changed their name and grew into ANGERME.

The name ANGERME is a coined word combining “ange,” meaning angel in French, and “larme,” meaning tear.

ANGERME has such a cool ring to it, doesn’t it? Their catchy, danceable melodies—almost begging to be called digital discotheque—elegantly power up the classic idol sound.

With lyrics that portray a slightly bold maiden’s heart, plenty of girls are sure to relate!

This gentle voice might softly stay by the side of that wavering heart.
