I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

This piece is a song with an impressively ominous atmosphere.

Released by Ihakushi in October 2024, it features VY1 and Zundamon.

Zundamon’s report appears at first glance to be a well-intentioned message, yet it gives off a faintly sinister undertone.

The latter half’s vocal section unfolds in a curious way that barely functions as Japanese.

It’s a track that stimulates the listener’s imagination, making you feel as though you’re witnessing an urban legend in real time.

Atashi × I × MY ∴ Ideal Theoryyaki ichigo zushi fukyū sokushin keikaku

“Atashi × I × MY∴Idealism” is a must-see work for Vocaloid fans.

This track was created by the Bokadewo 2023 participating team, the Grilled Strawberry Sushi Promotion Project, and gained attention thanks to a collaboration featuring singer Ado and Vocaloid producer Yurry Canon.

The lyrics, which vent raw anger, and the intense sound will shake listeners to the core.

Incidentally, Ado reportedly handled the tuning for Hatsune Miku.

Noisy / Capchii feat. MEIKO

“Boisterous,” produced in 2023 as an image song for MEIKO, who has been active since the dawn of the Vocaloid scene.

The track was created by Capchii, who is also known for providing songs to artists and working as a DJ.

Set to an electro beat with constantly shifting tempos, it showcases her versatile vocals.

The EDM-style sound with resonant low end layered with her lush voice creates an even deeper atmosphere.

It’s a Vocaloid track that conjures an image of her passionate drive to keep delivering songs into the future.

Let me introduce “Warning Time,” a song that sticks in your head after just one listen.

Created by Vocaloid producer you-man for the anonymous submission event “Mushokutomeisai II,” this track has two major features: a sound built on a steady, repeating rhythm, and vocals that repeat the same notes.

That distinctive rhythm is highly addictive—likely a key reason it’s gone viral.

By the way, this release is the so-called Short version, which really makes you want to hear the full version soon.

Honto no – Kasane Teto

It has a worldview so captivating that once you listen, you might never escape.

This piece is by Sasuke Haraguchi, who made a name for himself with the hit “Hito Mania,” a song entered in Vocalo Collection 2023 Summer, and it was released in October 2023.

The soundscape feels like it’s been cut and pasted together—totally absorbing.

To fully savor its allure, I recommend using earphones or headphones.

You may find the volume mysteriously creeping up to max before you know it.

It’s enigmatic and avant-garde, yet undeniably catchy.
