Songs with titles starting with 'Yu' (321–330)

A perfect day for ghostsnaraku

Yūrei Biyori, the fifth work by the Vocaloid producer naraku.

It features distinctive koto and flute tones with an enka-style melody line, resulting in a quintessentially naraku, Japanese-inspired sound.

The lyrics, written in archaic phrasing reminiscent of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, leave a strong impression, and the aimlessly wandering ghost girl who serves as the protagonist feels somehow wistful.

Even with only five works so far, naraku has been drawing attention with outstanding sound—be sure to keep an eye out for what comes next!

Songs with titles starting with 'Yu' (331–340)

you are my cursenyamura

A work by nyamura that captures the moment deep love turns into hatred.

Overwhelming, maddening feelings of love are conveyed through an understated melody and delicate sound design.

The desire to know everything about the other gradually becomes obsession, ultimately sublimating into emotions so intense they verge on hatred—an impression that lingers.

Released in June 2023, it went viral primarily on TikTok and topped Billboard JAPAN’s TikTok Weekly Top 20 for four consecutive weeks.

Depicting the boundary between pure love and madness, this piece will resonate deeply with anyone struggling with a love they cannot confess.
