Venomous Snake / v flower

Thanks to the fast-paced arrangement with a touch of exotic flair, it lifts your spirits right from the intro! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Kanade Otsugi, released in December 2022.

True to the title “Poisonous Snake,” it’s seamless, ever-unfolding electronic music.

The high-class sonic image never gets old.

And the yandere-tinged lyrics, conveying the message that “even if you regret it, it’s already too late,” send chills down my spine.

Utsu-P – Copyright-Bought Girl / Copyright B*tch feat. Seikai

Vocaloid producer Utsu-P delivers rock sounds infused with loud and screamo to listeners.

Among his tracks, one that especially resonates with gloomy moods is “Purchased-Rights Girl,” produced in 2022.

It’s a number where you can fully savor Seikai’s singing—both cute and strong.

Give this energetic rock tune a listen; it wraps up feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
