Smolderregulus
A summer day, a farewell to someone precious to whom I couldn’t convey my feelings.

Rainbow CiderTezuka
A poignant guitar rock number that brings back memories of a summer spent with someone special.
It’s a track by Tezuka, a Vocaloid producer who also posts performance and singing covers.
The song was released in 2016 and is included on v flower’s compilation album “Ichigo Ichie.”
KaerazuInumaru Shibaigoya
This song is captivating for its traditional Japanese-inspired worldbuilding.
It was released in 2015 as the third work by the creator unit Inumaru Shibaigoya.
The piano timbre is otherworldly, suffused with a slightly eerie atmosphere—likely because it was produced with Obon as its theme.
Give me back my main (one)/true love■37
An impressive electronic tune where a sense of floating and loneliness intersect.
Created by ■37, this work was released in September 2024.
The vocal work featuring Kasane Teto SV, Hatsune Miku, and IA is distinctive.
Riding on a sound with a unique sense of rhythm, a cutting-edge worldview unfolds.
It feels like a portrayal of late summer in a way that is quintessentially ■37.
If you’re seeking a music experience unlike any before, why not give it a listen first?
overwritingiyowa
A piece released by Iyowa in August 2024, featuring Hatsune Miku and Hanakuma Chifuyu whose almost-tearing voices really hit you in the chest.
The lyrics, which depict “overwriting” faded memories, are striking.
The layered harmonies and unstable melodies brilliantly convey intense emotional turbulence.
Recommended for anyone with unforgettable memories from their youth—I’m sure it will resonate.
By Your Sidefin
The beautiful soundscape that feels like it stretches on forever puts my mind at ease.
“Kimi no Tonari,” produced by Vocaloid producer fin, is a ballad released in July 2024.
It unfolds with piano and bell tones at its core, and in the latter half, string arrangements join in.
The deep, rich sound blends beautifully with the vocals that drop words as if gently letting them fall.
The fragile worldview of the lyrics—“I’m tired, so let’s rest together.
While we do, I’d like to hear your story”—also suits it perfectly.
Every one of fin’s works touches the heartstrings.
