Death-seeking Snow WhiteNachirari P
A story of Snow White who longs to die.
Her desire for her own death makes her seem truly troubled.
The key point is that Snow White wishes for death of her own strong will, not as an escape from a fragile life.
You can picture a languidly beautiful princess with an apple lying by her side.
The sound is relentlessly cool, and the word choice in the lyrics is sophisticated—an ultra-stylish track.

The Good Child and the Fox SpiritKikuo
Even though just listening to the vocals or reading the lyrics can make you think, “How cute,” why does it still give you the creeps like this? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kikuo, known for avant-garde musicality, released in 2022.
The Japan-inspired tone and melody make you feel as if you’re witnessing a myth or an epic picture scroll.
