I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

[Youth] A Compilation of Classic Vocaloid Songs Recommended for High School Students (21–30)

OverrideYase Yoshida

Override – Kasane Teto SV [Yase Yoshida]

Override Yoshida Yayo

Songs that satirize modern society are so cool, right? The one I want to introduce is “Override.” It’s a track produced by Vocaloid creator Yose Yoshida.

Set to a drum’n’bass sound, it portrays the difficulties of living in today’s society and the resolve to seize a brilliant future within it.

The title “Override” means “to overturn,” so it can be read as an attempt to transform modern society into something better.

Despite its deep themes, the contrast of a girly music video is part of its charm.
