What Wendy Realized After Returning from NeverlandAnkoku Dōwa P
As the title suggests, this work is based on the world-famous tale Peter Pan.
It’s a song by Dark Fairy Tale P—also known under the name Jorujin—released in 2020.
While Peter Pan is widely known for its exhilarating, story-driven charm, can we really take the tale at face value? The lyrics voice a sense of doubt—through analysis, a darker shadow comes into view, hinting that something else might be happening behind the scenes.
This perspective…
feels refreshing.
I’m glad it wasn’t today.Asano Kogetsu
Precisely because of its light, buoyant tone, the lyrics’ bittersweet worldview stands out.
The song, by Vocaloid producer Asano Kogetsu, was released in 2021.
Centered on an acoustic guitar–driven band sound and colored with piano, strings, and synths, it features a pleasantly soothing vibe.
The lyrics spell out feelings for a dear person who can no longer be met, making you want to unravel the story of what might have happened.
Give it a listen when you find yourself thinking, “I wonder what they’re doing now…”

When it comes to Vocaloid songs that keep you company on melancholic nights, “Vita” comes to mind.
Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, who provides songs to many vocalists, it resonates with a passionate sound set in a gothic world.
The song candidly expresses a troubled heart, making it something you’ll want to listen to on nights filled with loneliness or anxiety.
Also pay attention to flower’s performance, packed tightly with aching emotion.
It’s a deep track you’ll crave when you can’t stop overthinking.
Give this “yami” song a listen—one that stays close to feelings you can’t tell anyone about.

It’s a Vocaloid song that makes you inevitably ponder the story woven by its lyrics and music video.
Composed by Hiiragi Kirai, known for hits like “Autophagy” and “Bocca della Verità,” it was released in 2021.
The tuning—wavering and pushing a husky tone even further—feels quintessentially Hiiragi.
That alone has enough charm to make you think, “I want to listen again!” It also matches perfectly with the eerie soundscape.
If you enjoy analyzing works, this one will especially resonate with you.

Kirai Hiiragi, who has produced many Hall of Fame tracks.
From his second album, I’d like to introduce “Greedin.” This song paints a highly original worldview and is said to carry the message that there is no hierarchy among people.
The repeated use of the title phrase in the lyrics is particularly striking and sticks in your ears.
Incidentally, “Greedin” can be taken as both a play on “greeting” and an original coinage based on the English word “greed.”
