"MV" Senbonzakura WhiteFlame feat. Hatsune Miku

A classic that anyone who spent their youth on Nico Nico Douga is sure to know.

Composed by Kurousa-P and released on Nico Nico Douga in September 2011, it stands as a milestone of Japanese-style rock.

Its Taisho-romance-inspired worldview blends perfectly with a driving, exhilarating melody.

The lyrics capture the chaotic atmosphere of modern Japan as Western culture flows in, weaving in satire of society behind the glittering surface.

It was featured in a Toyota Aqua commercial and drew attention when Sachiko Kobayashi performed it on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

In karaoke rankings, it became the first Vocaloid song to place third overall in 2012, and it remains a beloved standard to this day.

It’s the perfect track for getting hyped with friends at karaoke or for sharing memories of those days.

Cantarella (feat. KAITO & Hatsune Miku)

Songs with a gothic worldview have always been popular in the Vocaloid scene, from the old days to the present, haven’t they? Created by Kurousa-P—who also produced the iconic hit Senbonzakura that’s practically synonymous with Vocaloid—this track was released in February 2008.

It originally belonged to WhiteFlame, the doujin circle Kurousa-P was part of, and what we’re introducing here is, in other words, a self-cover arrangement using Vocaloid.

It’s a highly narrative piece where the dramatic sound and mature vocal work are a perfect match.

KAITO’s sultry singing voice is truly wonderful!

Megurine Luka 'Crimson Leaf' [Original Song with PV]

This piece features a richly Japanese atmosphere and a wistful melody that resonates deeply with the heart.

Produced by Kurousa-P, the Miku version was released in 2008 and the Luka version in 2009.

With a clear, translucent singing voice, it beautifully captures autumn scenes and delicate emotions.

Through the changing seasons of falling crimson leaves, bittersweet love and parting are portrayed with exquisite sensitivity.

It has long been loved by Vocaloid fans and is sometimes performed at anime and game-related events.

I recommend listening to it while taking a solitary walk at dusk in autumn.

It will surely stay close to your heart.

Senbonzakura feat. Hatsune Mikukuro usagi P4rank/position

High Quality Audio – Senbonzakura [With Sheet Music] Piano – Piano/CANACANA

Senbonzakura is a piece that every keyboardist wants to try playing at least once.

Released in 2011, it was produced by the Vocaloid producer Kurousa-P.

The flurry of sixteenth notes within its fast tempo gives it an exhilarating feel—satisfying both to play and to listen to.

The melody leaves a strong impression that sticks with the audience, which is another noteworthy point.

Because the tempo is so fast, you need to be careful not to drop any notes.

Until you’re comfortable, practice slowly so you can reliably hit every note.

Once you get used to it, watch out for rushing.

Aim to perform with both sparkle and a sense of exhilaration—like beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom.

first quarter moonkuro usagi P5rank/position

"MV" First Quarter Moon — WhiteFlame feat. KAITO

A poignant, Japanese-style KAITO song that sings of a fleeting longing for someone dear.

Composed by the Vocaloid producer Kurousa-P, also known as the creator of the emblematic Vocaloid hit “Senbonzakura,” it was released in 2013.

With its beautiful composition resounding with strings, you can almost see the image of the moon floating in the night sky from the sound alone.

The lyrics convey the protagonist’s resignation, making the listener feel their pain as well.

It’s a masterpiece you’ll want to savor alone, taking your time to listen deeply.

Widely known as a VOCALOID producer, Krousapy’s signature work rapidly gained views on video platforms, surpassing 5 million plays as of January 2013.

Classified in the pop genre, the song features lyrics that paint deep, evocative imagery—voices lost in the night, a steel cage of revelry, a guillotine, and more.

Blending a fresh sensibility with a touch of traditional Japanese flavor, the piece exudes a distinctly modern allure and is hugely popular even at piano recitals.

It’s uptempo and densely arranged, demanding agile fingerwork, so be sure to build a solid technical foundation before you take it on.

ACUTEkuro usagi P7rank/position

'Miku × Luka × Kaito' ACUTE [Original Song PV]

It’s a song about a love triangle, and in the end, a tragic fate awaits all three people.

It’s very popular and has even been adapted into a book.

I also recommend reading the novel, as it reveals the terrifying nature of human jealousy and the dangers of being consumed by desire.
