Override – Kasane Teto SV [Yase Yoshida]

Since its release in November 2023, Override has become a newly etched hit in Vocaloid history, thanks to its catchy melody, breakneck-speed dance music, and lyrics that, while packed with references, still evoke a sense of inner darkness.

The producer, Yose Yoshida, originally worked at a company as a programmer, and reconsidering the title and lyrics in light of that background may reveal a variety of meanings.

If you’re going to sing it at karaoke, keeping up with the speed is the first prerequisite, but you might be surprised how far sheer momentum can carry you—and the melody itself is extremely catchy—so definitely give it a try.
