Yoshiwara Lamentasa

[Kasane Teto] Yoshiwara Lament [Original]

This is a Japanese-style Vocaloid song whose lyrics trace the sorrowful feelings of a woman.

It’s a signature track by Asa, a Vocaloid producer also known as the bassist of the rock group Wagakki Band, released in 2012.

The rock sound incorporates tones that evoke a traditional Japanese atmosphere in places—absolutely irresistible.

Another appeal is the highly narrative lyrics centered on the theme of an oiran.

The more you think about the protagonist, who couldn’t live freely, the tighter your chest feels.

This song will be there for you when you’ve got a haze lingering in your heart.

It’s a track by MIMI, a popular Vocaloid producer known for works built around gentle piano sounds, released in June 2023.

It’s a four-on-the-floor tune with a rather fast tempo, yet somehow it calms you as you listen.

Not just “Delusional Elegy”—all of MIMI’s works really resonate deep in the heart, don’t they?
