Self-Indulgence – Otomachi Una

This is a guitar rock track whose appeal lies in its punchy sound and the piercing vocals of Otomachi Una.

Composed by Komedawara, it was released in May 2020.

The structure is fresh, starting abruptly with vocals and no intro, from which a lyrical arrangement and a wistful melody intertwine.

The lyrics, which calmly recount everyday despair and resignation, overlap with the dynamics that open up dramatically in the chorus, powerfully stirring the listener’s emotions.

It’s dark yet somehow pop, and that exquisite balance draws you in.

Give it a listen when your heart is tired, yet you still want to face forward.

Nth Dimension / Kasane Teto SV

This is a Kasane Teto SV song by Satsuki, released to coincide with “Teto Day” in October 2025.

Beginning with the question, “If words could live on for decades, what could I say here?”, it brings themes like time, the meaning of words, and the uncertainty of existence to the surface.

It features a heavy sound and dynamic pacing throughout, and Teto’s firm, focused vocals really shine.

Satsuki’s signature odd meters and bold arrangements are, of course, alive and well.

Highly recommended for those interested in expressions that break through conventional boundaries!

Killing time, someone’s lifeUbanaroku

Killing Time, Someone’s Life / Rok Uhana ft. Hatsune Miku

This chilling Vocaloid song portrays the runaway acceleration of “justice” under the mask of anonymity.

Released as Rokuhana Uka’s fifth work in October 2020, it sharply slices into the darkness of modern society through Hatsune Miku’s voice.

The contrast between the light, catchy melody line and the heavy, bleak story unfolding in the lyrics leaves a powerful impression.

Centered around guitar-driven rock, the sound creates a sense of speed, and the more you listen, the deeper you’re drawn into the narrative.

It’s a track that makes you reflect on the act of condemning others on social media.

This track was released by Vocaloid producer Ponchi♪ in September 2025, and it was included as background music in the racing game “Sonic Racing: Crossworld.” Just as we called roadside nuts “treasures” when we were little, it carries a heartwarming message about discovering the hidden happiness in life.

And Ponchi♪’s signature explosive developments and hyper-catchy melodies are absolutely top-notch! Perfect for drives or whenever you want to boost your mood!

Goodbye, heaven; come again to hell.john

Goodbye, Heaven—Come Again, Hell / Hatsune Miku

It’s a highly addictive electropop track where heaven and hell whirl and swap in rapid succession.

Created by Vocaloid producer john, it was released in September 2025.

It’s an original piece written for the Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku unit, Wonderlands×Showtime.

As the event title “Deep Dark For Light” suggests, it expresses the theme of discovering a single ray of light within darkness.

The song condenses an intense story where despair and hope vie against each other, leaving a powerful afterglow once you finish listening.

When you’re feeling down, it’s the kind of track that, mysteriously, gives you strength.
