A Vocaloid track with a stylish yet heavy atmosphere that sends chills down your spine.
It’s by wotaku, the Vocaloid producer also known for “Gehenna” and “Shanti.” This is the KAITO version of a song originally released in August 2019 with Hatsune Miku on vocals.
The arrangement is irresistibly pop yet tinged with a certain shadow.

I am a heretic.szri
Have you ever been tormented by loneliness, thinking, “I’m different from everyone else—maybe there’s something wrong with me”? Szri’s work I Am a Heretic powerfully gives voice to that piercing pain.
Heavy electro sounds intertwine with razor-sharp guitar, and the inhuman vocals of UTAU Adachi Rei heighten the sense of isolation, creating a truly one-of-a-kind world.
Released in July 2025 and included on the compilation album Adachi Adapter, it hits perfectly on nights when you can’t fit in and end up blaming yourself, matching those sharp-edged emotions to a tee.
It was all a dream!kuro usagi
Kurousagi’s track “It Was All Just a Dream!” is a melancholic, yami-style song with meticulously crafted sound design.
Released in September 2024, the piece pairs Kasane Teto’s heartrending vocals with a simple beat that really sinks in.
The lyrics convey feelings of self-denial and escapism, and it’s easy to empathize with the protagonist who tries to shake off the past by saying “It was all just a dream.” The more you listen, the more you get drawn into its mysterious depth.
It’s the perfect song for when you’re feeling down or want to be alone with your thoughts.

It’s a track that conveys a fragility that feels like it could shatter like glass.
Many of Ayase’s songs hook you from the intro, and overall they leave a delicate, stylish impression.
