Shooting Star feat. Hatsune Miku

Nagareboshi Linmu

Feelings that started drifting apart before we knew it, a distance we want to bridge but can’t.

It’s a heartrending love song about that delicate gap between two people who matter to each other.

Created by Vocaloid producer Linmu and released in 2020.

Its stylish sound carries elements of progressive rock—very sophisticated.

Perhaps that’s why, although songs about romantic relationships have always existed, this one feels like it depicts a very contemporary form of love.

I hope the protagonist’s wish comes true…
