It features a four-on-the-floor sound with an intoxicating, danceable beat that leaves a strong impression.

Centered on themes of personal identity and self-awareness, the song’s duality—its front and back sides—at times evokes a dark atmosphere.

Written as the theme song for the film Under Ninja, this work perfectly matches Creepy Nuts’ worldview and the story.

It will be included on the album LEGION, scheduled for release in March 2025, which is also set to feature tie-in tracks from popular anime.

It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to sway their body while reexamining their sense of self.

It also works well when you want to refresh your mood with dance music or as background music for posting dance videos on social media.

Buttress – Brutus (Official Music Video)

Suddenly, but have you heard of the “uncanny valley” phenomenon? It refers to the human tendency to feel uneasy the closer something looks to a real human.

Lately on TikTok, horror-tinged videos that play up the uncanny valley are gaining popularity.

This track is used as the BGM for those videos.

The BGM itself is extremely unsettling, yet oddly addictive, and it seems to be attracting a lot of attention from listeners.

The videos use the instrumental version, but the vocal version is excellent as well, so be sure to check it out.

Don’t Say A WordEllie Goulding

Don’t Say A Word

Ellie Goulding is a British singer-songwriter.

Her wide-ranging musicality—from folklorica, a blend of folk and electronica with an ethnic-music feel, to on-trend synth-pop—has earned her support from around the world.

Among her songs, one that’s especially popular for TikTok glow-up videos is “Don’t Say A Word.” Because it’s crafted as a serious piece of folklorica evoking traditional music, it tends to be used on TikTok not for cute, sweet glow-ups, but for videos showcasing a cool image transformation.
