Yagamidai baku ha shin
I’m overwhelmed by the way it barrels in with vocals, sound, and message.
“Yagami,” released by Vocaloid producer Dai Maku Hashin in October 2023.
The arrangement is striking, with the voltage steadily rising as the track progresses.
The intensely forceful synth sound at the climax is irresistible! And then it shifts into an outro with a sharp contrast.
It’s the best of the best, isn’t it? The lyrics, in particular, are sure to resonate with creators—especially fellow Vocaloid producers.

Yukari Onishi is known for her powerful, soulful voice.
The song “Yozakura Ginko” is a track from her 2016 album “EXPLOSION.” It has a distinctly mature vibe and suits the night perfectly, though the chorus contains shocking lyrics that might catch you off guard.
While it conveys the pain and hardship of living, it also, in contrast to the lyrics, lets you feel the preciousness of life.
It’s a song that pairs beautifully with cherry blossoms at night.

Singer-songwriter Hanako Oku envelops listeners with piano and voice.
The world her music weaves is straightforward, gentle, and tinged with a touch of wistfulness.
Within depictions of everyday, ordinary scenes, she tenderly, painstakingly sings about the meaning of life and love.
Her major-label debut single, “Yasashii Hana” (“Gentle Flower”), is a moving ballad that symbolizes her music.

Even when we’re struggling and hitting a wall, let’s keep facing forward and push ahead—there are friends around us who support one another.
I’m encouraged by lyrics that carry that message.
Sung by Asami Imai, who played Chihaya Kisaragi, one of the characters from The Idolmaster, it’s a ballad, but it leaves a strong, impactful impression.
