A song by Yuri-Kanon, a Vocaloid producer from Kyoto who released their major-label debut album “Ningen Gekijou” in 2021.

Riding on a high-tempo shuffle beat, the melody is packed with the kind of wordplay that’s the essence of Vocaloid music, making it an instantly energizing number.

The effective use of key changes heightens the tension and polish of the track.

Its structure—flowing from a jazz-tinged B section into a melodious, high-register chorus—is also superb, making it a number that should resonate with both Vocaloid fans and rock lovers alike.
