Ice, chill, hate youAngel Movie

[Kindergarten WARS] Ice Chill Heichu / Angel Film feat. Kasane Teto [Official Tie-up MV]

The highly popular manga Kindergarten WARS.

The third installment of its tie-in projects is the song Ice, Chill, Hate You.

This track was created by Vocaloid producer Tenshi Den’ei and is included on the official tie-in album, recital.

Its standout feature is how the lyrics express the manga’s duality.

The girly phrases in the first half evoke a rom-com vibe, while the latter section, which strings together four-character idioms, conveys the darker worldview that lurks behind the romantic comedy.

Loveka? / Hiiragi Kirai feat. flower

“Loveca?”—which also became a hot topic when it was sung by Ado, a singer overwhelmingly supported by the younger generation—was created in 2020 by Hiiragi Kirai, known for delivering uniquely original tracks.

The lyrics present a profound worldview that makes you reflect on what it truly means to love someone.

The dark-toned sound, set to the lively beat characteristic of swing jazz, matches the lyrics that portray deep affection.

It’s a song where flower’s vocals resonate—cute yet somehow fleeting.

Give this one-of-a-kind love song a listen, as it traces the course of profound love.

15 Years of a Clingy Guy’s Petty ObsessionSunfish P is dead behind the house

Clingy Guy’s 15 Years of Petty Obsessedness / Sunfish Is Dead Behind My House P (Turn on subtitles; lyrics are available in other languages)

A real-life sibling unit consisting of Yo Takahashi on music and Tsukasa Ryugu on illustration, performing a song by “There’s a Sunfish Dying Behind the House P.” Both the unit name and the song title leave a striking impression, but the gently soothing tone makes it a comfortable listen.

The first half, true to its title, draws you into the story with depictions of stickiness and a love verging on madness; midway, it even unfolds like a joke.

Yet by the end, it becomes a piece that leaves a deep impression of unwavering love and single-minded devotion.

It’s a work you’ll want to listen to while savoring the lyrics.

Spring haze, drifting in the dust-laden windmawari

Spring haze, drifting in the dust-laden wind / mawari feat. SEKAI

This is a Vocaloid track where the timbres of piano and strings unfold dramatically in step with the rhythm.

Created by Vocaloid producer Mawari, it was released in April 2023.

Centered on acoustic instruments, the sound arrangement achieves both clarity and a sense of weightlessness.

Perhaps because of the crisp, satisfying sound image, the cool vocals of the star realm really shine.

The lyrics, which convey a determination to move toward one’s envisioned future, are inspiring—an uplifting spring song that sets the heart ablaze.

From Tokyo / Hatsune Miku – Music Video

Takaaki Natsushiro, who is also active as a vocalist, wrote an original song for the game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku” titled “From Tokyo.” Haven’t you, too, struggled with doubts about a choice you made? This song gives voice to that kind of hazy, conflicted feeling.

Judging from the title, it can also be taken as an anthem for those who moved to Tokyo to chase their dreams.

If you’re in a similar situation, give it a listen.

When I chopped a stag beetle, I time-slipped / Sunfish is dead behind my house P (Turn on subtitles, lyrics in other languages are displayed)

A brother-sister duo with a distinctive unit name, whose songs gain popularity for lyrics that reveal deeper layers the more you read them—this is a track by “Ie no Ura de Manbō ga Shinderu P.” It’s a fast-paced rock tune that opens with vocals riding over palm-muted guitar.

While the lyrics comically portray what seems like a familiar sci-fi tale of time travel, the song also teaches the importance of what truly matters in life and the value of living each day earnestly.

Combined with its exhilarating sound, it’s a number that resonates deeply.
