Miniature Garden Coral / Hatsune Miku

When you feel like you can’t trust anything or anyone, this song might scoop up your feelings.

Composed by koyori, also known as Denpol-P, it was released in 2023 and drew attention when it was included in the mobile game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!” This song entrusts one’s path in life to music.

I hate it, I hate it—my ego is huge!Takeaki Wada

[Otomachi Una’s] Kirai Kirai Jigahidai! – Takeaki Wada (KurageP) / Hate it. Hate it. “JIGAHIDAI!” – KurageP

A song by musician Takeaki Wada, who also works under the names KurageP and electripper.

It’s a track packed with ear-catching hooks throughout—hysteric guitar tones, tight beats, and a catchy, brisk melody.

In contrast, the lyrics, which read like a raw outpouring of loathing toward others and feelings of inferiority born from a strong desire for approval—at odds with the song’s pop nature—may seem self-centered at first glance, but ultimately make you realize these are emotions everyone carries to some degree.

Precisely because the words are so impactful, they’re deeply relatable.

It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to with close attention to the lyrics.
