Return ZeroAliey:S

Return: Zero / Rei Adachi – Aliey:S

An avant-garde electronic track sprinkled with programming terminology.

Released in October 2025 by Aliey:S, the piece features Rei Adachi’s impassive, inorganic vocals that leave a strong impression.

Through technical terms like integer maximum value, overflow, and semicolon, it portrays the anguish of an AI pushing up against the limits of its memory capacity.

The explosive chorus is another highlight—it feels like getting smacked in the head.

Let yourself be swept away by this wave of sound.

Kagamine Rin sings with a tight, intense rock sound and a cry of sorrow that seems to well up from the depths of the heart.

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

Once you hear it, it keeps playing in your head nonstop! “Gale All Back,” a track by Vocaloid producer Yukopi, was released in 2023.

Its humorous worldview became a hot topic and went viral, especially on short-form video platforms.

If you’re a frequent subway user, you’ll probably relate to that moment when you step out of the exit and a strong gust of wind slicks your hair straight back.

The lyrics, which spotlight ordinary everyday scenes, and the occasional voice-cracking sound of the recorder are irresistibly catchy.
