Vocaloid producer Komedawara’s song “sneer,” released in March 2025, features Otonoha Una’s calm singing voice that leaves a strong impression.
Its rock-tinged, ennui-laden soundscape pairs perfectly with the cynical lyrics that depict a relationship between fellow losers.
The visuals by illustrator Yasutatsu brilliantly embody the song’s worldview.
It’s a perfect listen for nights when you want to think deeply, or when you want someone to understand how you feel.
