[Hatsune Miku Append] crack [with Chinese subtitles]

This is a deeply moving song that links rain and tears.

It describes a red thread that was supposed to be tightly tied coming undone.

Even after the heartbreak, they still can’t forget the other person, and their chest aches—it’s palpable and heartbreaking.

The crystalline harmony of the guitar riff and vocals is beautiful, seeping deeper and deeper into the heart.

A sky more tearful than usual – rerulili feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s billed as the “supreme ballad,” but apparently that’s just by their own standards.

That playful touch is part of the charm of rerulili’s debut work.

It’s a band-style piece that lavishly incorporates the tones of acoustic guitar and piano.

The richly emotional sound is wonderfully soothing.

Zoetrope … GUMI | Zoetrope

Rather than calling it “grand,” it makes you want to say “eternal” or “far-reaching”—a work with an astounding sense of scale.

Composed by the Vocaloid producer you-man, also known for “Tiny Bunny” and “Weenie Walker,” it was released in 2020.

In a word… it simply can’t be summed up in one: a uniquely original, profoundly deep piece in 3/4 time.

The jazz-infused style alone is worth hearing.

And layered on top is GUMI’s heart-rending, explosive vocal.

I didn’t know GUMI could sound like this… astonishing.

Mikito-P “Summer Ticket Stub” MV

This is a work by Mikito-P, a creator who incorporates a lot of band sounds.

It’s included on the 2014 album “GOOD SCHOOL GIRL.” It’s the original song that later became “Sayonara wa Kienai,” which was created from a different perspective.

The piece portrays the end of a romance, overflowing with poignancy.

Perhaps its unique sense of loss is what makes it a masterpiece.

The guitar at the end is both cool and heart-throbbing.

Fallen blossoms were watching the summer. / Hatsune Miku

A bittersweet yet beautiful piece that paints feelings for time that has passed, like blossoms falling away.

Created by resipa and released in June 2024.

Its mellow sound, led by piano and guitar and layered with sound effects that evoke summer scenes, conveys silence and nostalgia.

From a poetic worldview where dreams and reality intersect, you can sense both the cherishing of time with someone precious and a feeling of loss.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to alone on a quiet night.
