Fiction BlueAyase

Fiction Blue / Hatsune Miku

A song by Hatsune Miku blazing down the pop road, recommended even for listeners who don’t usually listen to VOCALOID.

The artist, Ayase, is a renowned Vocaloid producer who’s also gained popularity with tracks like “Last Resort.” The “blue” in the title “Fiction Blue” can be felt to carry nuances of youth and innocence.

The lyrics—about a beautiful romance and its end, yet my feelings remain just as they were back then—are truly tear-inducing.

Expressions like “Let’s meet at our secret place” hit way too hard for a heart sunk by heartbreak!

It’s included on his second album, A, which came out the same year.

The music is gentle electronic with a dreamy atmosphere.

Maybe we can swallow even the worst things as long as we have ice cream with them… If only that were possible, right… When you’re lost in your thoughts alone, this song might be the support at your back.

You are not at fault.Δ

You’re Not at Fault / V_Fukase・flower (Someone Like You / V_Fukase・flower)

A song that wraps words like “fake,” “deceive,” and “guilt” in a light sound that doesn’t feel heavy, while exploring a deep inner world as if penned by a poet.

Its central motif and keyword, “a self that won’t become my own,” evokes a slightly mysterious, Zen-koan-like realm.

Many listeners will likely be drawn in by the lyrics, which make visible complex emotions that go beyond sadness.

Vocaloid producer Δ, who debuted in 2018, is a creator whose depths have yet to be fully known.

With lyricism this piercing, their other songs are definitely worth checking out!

It Was Surely Spring / Kagamine Rin

A four-on-the-floor track that poignantly depicts a spring scene and resonates deep in the heart.

Such fragile emotions are expressed with great delicacy.

Coupled with its light rhythm, it evokes a tightening in the chest.

Listening to this work may gently awaken the precious memories sleeping in your heart.

Dreaming Little Birdhaya ya P

【7人で】夢みることり english & romaji subbed “Dreaming Little Bird”

A Japanese-style duet song by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin.

Their parts sometimes sing in unison, sometimes split, and sometimes stagger like a call-and-response, making it a challenging piece to sing in karaoke and the like.

The lyrics are filled with metaphors and are highly fantastical.
