The lyrics, which portray the precarious relationship between “you” and “me,” have real depth and make you want to delve into them.

Wochirare STEAKA

Many of you may find that its original sound sears itself into your mind and won’t let go.

Produced by STEAKA and set for release in July 2025, this track was written as the theme song for the immersive horror event “Obaken.” Riding on a sound that’s dark yet pop, it portrays the tense atmosphere of sensing someone’s gaze upon you.

Packed with cinematic phrases that feel like they scrape at the listener’s nerves, it lets you experience the thrill of becoming the protagonist of a horror work.

Highly recommended not only for fans of puzzles and horror, but also for anyone who wants to listen to music that strays just a little from the everyday.

GOAT! – Kuro Usagi × Ci flower × Kasane Teto × KAFU

GOAT! Black Rabbit

Kurousagi’s “GOAT!” is a piece where the distinctive voices of Ci flower, KAFU, and Kasane Teto intertwine.

Released in July 2025, the tuning was handled by Kisara, yasai31, and Null.

The lyrics depict a protagonist who turns away from reality yet insists, “This is where I belong,” choosing to stay.

Even though they realize there’s no point in remaining, they can’t bring themselves to leave—an emotion many listeners may find themselves relating to.

It’s a track that leaves a profound afterglow long after it ends.

When it comes to his music, many people associate it with a laid-back vibe that features the sound of a recorder.
