That Summer Saturates. / Kagamine Len & Rin

This is a summer Vocaloid song that opens with a shocking line.

It was released in 2018 by Kanzaki Iori, a Vocaloid producer known for highly literary works such as “Hated by Life Itself.” While the bouncy piano rhythm and sparkling timbres are striking, the overall atmosphere is undeniably heavy.

That’s likely due to the story woven into the lyrics.

Please listen for yourself to discover the hopelessly pure yet distorted relationship between “me” and “you,” and the tragic tale it tells.

I Hate Summer / Otomachi Una

A piercing piano rock song that portrays the complex emotions of summer.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Asai Umi, released in August 2019, and included on the first mini-album “It Was a Boring Life.” The lyrical world, with its story-like line—“I hate summer because it inevitably makes me remember someone precious who’s gone”—really hits home.

The fast-paced arrangement seems to embody the feelings that overflow.

I think it especially resonates when you listen to it in summer, when you’re tormented by loneliness.

The lyrics carefully depict the poignancy of summer’s end.

With its simultaneous sense of coolness and loneliness, this track is perfect for when you’re in a sentimental mood.

I think it will particularly resonate with people in their teens.
