The song is written and composed by Neru, known for rock-flavored tracks featuring guitar.
The “gōkoku” in the title means “crying out loudly in tears.” It’s a fast-paced rock number with modern lyrics brimming with empty, heartrending emotion that leave a strong impression.

Released by Nasoni in October 2025, this track is a dance tune marked by a jazzy piano that leaves a strong impression.
The stylish sound pairs beautifully with Flower’s buoyant, springy vocals.
Many listeners will likely resonate with the lyrics’ portrayal of a protagonist leading a world-weary life yet continuing to seek salvation somewhere.
It especially hits home when you’re in an introspective mood.
Slowly NightMIMI
It’s a very gentle Vocaloid song that comforts a lonely heart as if watering a flower.
“Slowly Night,” created by the popular Vocaloid producer MIMI—who also brought us songs like “Mashumary”—was released in June 2024.
The tempo is on the faster side, with MIMI’s signature piano sound as the foundation.
Miku’s vocals are truly soft, and it feels as if they embody the world of the lyrics.
On nights overwhelmed by loneliness, on nights when you’re afraid of tomorrow, this song will surely come to your rescue.

Its sharp, grunge-inflected band sound is part of the appeal.
The lyrics unfold like a short story, evoking seasons and landscapes.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about tomorrow coming, the poignancy of this song will resonate.
Accompanied by its emotional rock sound, you’ll feel like making it through the night.

To That Summerfin
This song portrays the fleeting, nostalgic feeling of summer’s end.
It’s a track by fin, released in April 2024.
Hatsune Miku’s transparent, crystalline vocals deepen the resonance of memories of summer and questions about one’s purpose.
The music video, featuring fin’s signature pixel art style, is also distinctive.
Images like towering cumulonimbus clouds and the sound of wind chimes vividly evoke late-summer scenes.
I believe this is a song that offers comfort to those who fear their existence might be forgotten by the world.

“Dream Kiss” is a song by Toiki., released in September 2025.
Painted with words like delusion and curse, it portrays a precarious romance like an angel and a devil whispering to each other.
You’ll be drawn into its poetic worldview and a sound arrangement that blends speed and weightlessness.
Miku’s whispery vocals and the whistles slipped in between are also striking.
It’s the kind of Vocaloid track you can’t escape once you’re hooked.

Created in 2022 by Ryoryo, a Vocaloid producer known for popular songs that explore perspectives on life, the piece tells a story themed around living and sings of facing loneliness and solitude.
At times it races forward; at other moments its grand soundscape evokes a range of emotions.
