Hatsune Miku from Y to Y

It’s a grand ballad themed around heartbreak.

The title “from Y to Y” seems to play on the English idiom “from A to Z” (from beginning to end).

It portrays the relationship with a lover from its beginning to its end.

Your Figure / Chouchou-P feat. Otomachi Una

What makes “Kimi no Sugata” so appealing is its lyrics that feel like they’re speaking directly to you.

This piece was created by Choucho-P using Otomachi Una.

Making the most of her gentle singing voice, it’s crafted into a soothing ballad.

The lyrics question the meanings of words we casually use every day, like “strong” and “happy.” Listening to it might prompt you to reflect on various things.

Also, an off-vocal version is available, so it’s recommended for those looking for background music or wanting to sing it at karaoke.

Tota Kasamura, who has produced many piano ballad Vocaloid songs.

Try listening while substituting the sea and stones mentioned in the lyrics with various other things.

Also captivating is the richly expressive singing achieved with GUMI.

Every single word of the lyrics is filled with emotion.

Life expectancy: 2:30PinocchioP

PinocchioP – 2:30 Left to Live feat. Hatsune Miku / 2:30 Life Remaining

The message expressing the feelings of the Vocaloid singing the song resonates deeply in ‘Yomei 2:30.’ Created in 2022 by PinocchioP, a Vocaloid producer known for many signature tracks.

As soon as the song begins, Hatsune Miku is born and, while acutely aware of her short time to live, questions what life is.

The gradually building electronic sound from a simple piano-and-vocal arrangement seems to mirror her wavering emotions.

This Vocaloid track matches the image of Hatsune Miku desperately living through a fleeting moment with the shifting emotions of human beings.
