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.

I think a lot of people start getting interested in music when they enter junior high school! When you watch videos on YouTube and other social media, you come across all kinds of works.

Headgear feat. Thief Kindergarten

Kaburimono Majima Yuro

I can’t help being drawn in by the gap between the song’s cute tone and the depth of its lyrics.

A track by Yuro Majima was released in May 2023.

It also made waves as a tie-in song for the game “Steal and Play! Thief Kindergarten.” Using “costumes/disguises” as a motif, it may be expressing a desire to escape from everyday life.

The striking melody line in the chorus resonates deeply with listeners.

It’s a song I especially want people who can’t quite feel like adults, or who find life difficult, to hear.

You’re sure to find something you can relate to.

BambiWONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY！

Bambi ft. Uraname / Minus / One-opp

Bambi WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY!

The music production circle WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY!.

The piece they worked on that’s been getting attention for its addictive quality is “Bambi.” This one uses Uramei and achieves a girly vocal vibe.

However, in contrast to that, the lyrics depict a murky inner darkness filled with envy toward others.

That gap is probably what really grabs you.

Also, pay attention to the chorus, which mixes in conversational language.

Even though the wording feels casual, the impact is enormous.

Multitudes / Hatsune Miku

Uzo-muzo shino

An irresistibly addictive mix of rock that sketches out a way of thinking about identity.

“Uzo-muzo” by Vocaloid producer shino was released in August 2023 and participated in the Top 100 ranking for VocaColle 2023 Summer.

It fuses a high-energy band sound with release-cut piano and restless synth phrases, and that uptempo arrangement really packs a punch.

It makes you want to crank the volume all the way up.

The lyrics will especially resonate with anyone who makes music—Vocaloid tracks in particular.
