My First HIshida already

My First H

You might not be able to guess it from the title, but this is a Vocaloid track that makes you feel like you’re looking at contemporary art.

It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Mou Ishida, released in March 2023.

It ranked 4th in the Rookie category of VocaColle Spring 2023.

Describing it as “glitch art expressed in sound” might give you a vague idea…

but honestly, it’s faster if you just listen to it.

The sound, the melody, the lyrics, and the music video—every single part is incredible.

Sleep, Cotton Candy / Hifumi feat. Kanade Kanon β

Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for many rock-style tracks.

His “Nemure Watagashi” is a song that conveys the feelings of a woman who just can’t fall asleep, set to a Japanese-style sound.

As you listen, the structure gradually reveals why she can’t sleep.

It’s also fun how it incorporates relatable details like “being bothered by the sound of cars driving outside” and “the sky starting to get light outside.” They’re points anyone can relate to and nod along with.
