Flames of the noonday heat sear us far apart / Hello, Mr. Tanita – Lossy Encoding / Hello Tanitasan

An alternative Vocaloid track whose ingenious sound image somehow stirs up a sense of nostalgia.

It’s a song released under Tatsuya Kitani’s Vocaloid producer alias, Konnichiwa Tanita-san, published in August 2025 and included on the compilation album “Eingebrannt.” Its appeal lies in literary lyrics that trace memories of summers that have receded into the distant past, paired with a sound that blends weightless drift and cool poise.

The cruelty of passing time—and, because of it, the precious radiance of each fleeting moment—soaks deeply into the heart.

Give it a listen when you’re in the mood to indulge in a touch of sentimentality.

DREAM CATCHERnazo J

DREAM CATCHER / Kiyoteru Hiyama

This number portrays the feeling of your spirit wearing down as you face success that seems within reach yet slips away.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Nazo J, who builds a unique world under the name “Hatters,” it was released in August 2025.

It was a participating track in the BOCALOID Collection 2025 Summer TOP100 ranking.

The lyrics depict an unrequited protagonist who repeatedly challenges and exhausts themselves within a game that has no mechanism for victory.

Kiyoteru Hiyama’s clear vocals poignantly convey that impatience and longing.

It’s a song that cuts deep into the hearts of those worn out by pursuing goals and feeling powerless.

Remote workkoushi

Imoatowāku / Otomachi Una

Born from a wordplay riffing on work-from-home and “little sister,” this is a track by Vocaloid producer Koushi (Calf).

Presented from the perspective of a sister who adores her big brother, the song channels her pure, single-minded feelings into a high-tempo sound.

The message is so unabashedly straightforward that Koushi himself wrote, “I made a creepy song.” Originally included on the album “Super Qte!” released in November 2023, its music video premiered in July 2025.

Please enjoy this world where cuteness, humor, and a touch of madness blend together.

Misumi – Desire to Express feat. Nurse Robo_Type T

This is a work released in July 2025 by Misumi, a Vocaloid producer who is also well-regarded as the composer for DUSTCELL.

The theme of the song is the unceasing thirst in creative work and the anguish that comes with it.

Its worldview feels like an embodiment of a creator’s cry from the heart, leaving a deep impression.

The contrast between the fast-paced composition and Nurse Robo_Type T’s cool vocals is striking as well.

For those driven by the urge to express something, or when you want to confront your inner emotions more deeply, listening to this will surely help open a new door.
