Kurayasukoppu
Contrary to its cute vibe, this song struck a deep chord with many listeners through lyrics that vividly portray the struggle of being unable to change oneself, inspiring strong empathy.
If you listen to it when you find yourself envying others, it might even bring a tear to your eye.
Please take your time and listen closely.
Palm-Sized Wonderlandnekobōro
It’s a very mysterious piece.
It contains many elements and will change its character greatly depending on the listener.
The sound, which makes heavy use of electronic tones and piano, and the crisply articulated vocals leave a strong impression.
The lyrics are abstract and suggestive.
As you follow the words, time slips by before you know it—this is a song with that kind of unusual charm.
Spilling One’s Heart: An Emotional Battlenejishiki
It’s a pleasant song with a beautiful melody and IA’s clear, soaring voice.
Just like the title suggests, the lyrics feel like pouring out one’s heart, and they really stay with you.
When you’re faced with unreasonable demands at work or school or getting lectured, listening to this will resonate with you—your emotions will surge, the tears will flow, and you’ll feel refreshed.
HEAVENharī
This is Harry P’s 14th work, included on the 2012 release “RESCUE OF RAINBOWS.” It tells the story of the path two people walked and their sorrowful parting.
A video, with many creators contributing across detailed roles such as illustration, scenario, video production, and mastering, has been released on Niconico.
When the CD was released, a version sung by the vocalist KK was issued simultaneously, so it might be nice to listen to them together.
voiceharī
This is a work written and composed by Hari-P that sings of a heartrending farewell.
It is also a related song to the novel “We Quietly Kissed,” published by PHP Institute under the name Tsubasa Harihara.
A melody played during breaks in writing the novel and the protagonist’s feelings came together to form this song as a single piece.
With elements like the novel’s title appearing in the lyrics, it’s an irresistible track for fans who know the story!
World’s End Evemeru
“What a beautiful song,” that was my first impression.
True to its title, “World’s End Eve,” it sings of the thought, “What if the world were to end tomorrow?” It’s not intense by any means, yet before you know it, your eyes and ears are drawn to it.
It’s a song that makes you reflect on everyday life and its happiness.
Noahyoake no wadachi
A ballad song by Yoake no Wadachi, known for their approachable guitar rock–based tracks.
Unlike their other songs, this one stands out with an exquisitely beautiful orchestral arrangement.
The lyrics explore how to accept one’s own weakness and how to face the things that are precious and not to be lost.
While the song carries a somewhat wistful atmosphere, the words in the lyrics also convey a sense of positivity and hope, and Hatsune Miku’s wonderfully gentle vocals resonate deeply in the heart.
