Pilgrimage Without Prayer / Kasane Teto, Adachi Rei, Utane Uta

This is a Vocaloid song that portrays a journey of facing your true self—neither self-admonishment nor mere ornamentation.

Created by Satsuki, it was released in February 2025.

The call-and-response between three UTAU voicebanks—Kasane Teto, Adachi Rei, and Utane Uta—adds a nuanced flavor, and the energetic sound that fuses electronic music with rock leaves a strong impression.

The lyrics, which capture the resolve to carve out your own path without praying for miracles and the struggle to find something universal, resonate deeply.

I think it’s an UTAU track that can really fire you up.

Thanks for the service, RIP.shack

Thanks for the service ending / Kasane Teto SV

From beneath the humorous wording, a deep emotion wafts through.

The cool electronic sound is also highly addictive—guaranteed to be on repeat.

Whether you’re lost in thought or want to surrender yourself to the music, this track fits.
