I've Lived for 1,000 Years / covered by Shigure Ui

A captivating cover that blends cuteness with eeriness, offering an irresistible, enigmatic charm.

Originally a celebrated song by Vocaloid producer Iyowa, it was reimagined by Shigure Ui with her unique worldview and released in May 2023.

From the perspective of a painting within a picture frame, the original theme exploring life and mortality is rendered beautifully here through a clear, translucent vocal delivery.

While this cover has no direct tie-in itself, the original track has been widely loved, including its inclusion in March 2024 in the game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” The faint, fairy-tale-like madness lurking beneath its nonchalant tone makes it perfect for those seeking a thrilling musical experience.

Highly recommended when you want to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a dark yet pop-tinged world.

[Original Song] Ui Kousen / Shigure Ui [Nyarura・Aiobahn +81]

“Uikousen,” included on Ui Shigure’s second full album “fiction,” has been drawing attention as a rousing, floor-filling dance tune.

Released in September 2024, the track blends a four-on-the-floor sound that evokes ’90s Eurobeat with wordplay steeped in internet culture.

In May 2025, its music video was surprise-released right after a 3D live celebrating her birthday, creating a huge buzz among fans.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to step away from the everyday and just let yourself drift on the waves of music without thinking.

Why not experience its curious, irresistible euphoria that makes you want to move your body?

Hee, hee, hooshigure ui

[Original Song] Hee-hee-hoo / Shigure Ui [Jin]

This is a track from creator Shigure Ui’s second full-length album, “fiction,” released in September 2024.

Crossing the boundary between illustrator and VTuber, she delivers her creative passion and fighting spirit with powerful vocals over authentic hip-hop-style rap.

There’s also a memorable story that, although the song was originally requested as a kind of protective charm, its provider, Jin, reconstructed it into a more aggressive and challenging number.

In July the following year, a music video produced by the visual team Hurray! was released, vividly portraying the agony and exhilaration of creation through pop visual expression.

It’s an energetic track that’s perfect when you want to feel a firm resolve as an artist—more than just “cute.”

Wimarma Sagashigure ui

[Original Song] Wimarma Saga / Shigure Ui (9) vs. Shigure Ui (16) [IOSYS (Maron & D.watt)]

This is a song by Shigure Ui that’s irresistible for its distinctive worldbuilding and highly addictive back-and-forth.

Released digitally in January 2026, it features a uniquely striking setup where characters aged nine and sixteen face off.

The up-tempo beat and repeated calls stick in your head, and after one listen you’ll find yourself humming along.

The playful, ever-shifting arrangement by IOSYS’s Maron and D.watt draws you right in.

It’s perfect for boosting your mood or keeping your energy up as background music while you work.

Enjoy it with the music video to appreciate the piece’s charm even more!

Cherry Popshigure ui

Cherry Pop / covered by Shigure Ui

This is a cover video released in August 2025 in which Shigure Ui reinterprets a song by DECO*27 with her own vocals.

The self-cover-like approach—by someone who originally took part in the track as a chorus singer and illustrator—generated significant buzz.

The unique worldbuilding, where a cute electropop sound intertwines with an intense desire to be loved and a possessive streak, is captivating.

Alongside newly redrawn visuals by Ui herself, the expression that balances cuteness with unease is masterful.

Its pop, addictive melody makes it the perfect number for when you’re in the mood for a slightly toxic, provocative love song.

Tetrisshigure ui

Tetris / covered by Shigure Ui

This is a captivating cover video that naturally reconstructs the original song’s urgency and densely packed tension within her own context.

In this work by Shigure Ui, she reinterprets a vocaloid track released by Hiiragi Magnetite in November 2024 with her own vocals and illustrations, publishing it in January 2025.

While retaining the structure of words being crammed atop an electronic, bustling rhythm, the balance of cuteness and fragility in her vocal timbre resonates exquisitely.

The worldview—seemingly expressing the anxieties of our information-saturated age—comes through pop yet earnest, both visually and sonically.

Highly recommended for those who want to feel the momentum of net culture or savor the artistry of self-produced work where video and music are seamlessly unified.

I’m not a devil.shigure ui

Not a Devil / covered by Shigure Ui & Tsunomaki Watame

This work further accentuates the original song’s slapstick energy by turning it into a duet.

Originally a much-talked-about track co-written by Vocaloid producers DECO*27 and PinocchioP, it was released as a cover video by Shigure Ui and Tsunomaki Watame in March 2023.

The contrast between their voices is exquisite, and the lyrics—depicting a duality like an angel and a devil—shine even more through their back-and-forth, enhancing each character’s appeal.

Although there was no tie-in, the video has been viewed over 5 million times on YouTube and has long been loved as a staple hit in the VTuber cover scene.

Give it a listen—along with the video’s illustrations—when you want a boost of energy or to enjoy the lively, skit-like banter between the two.
