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.

The song, titled with the Japanese word for “angel,” is incredibly addictive.

The lyrics are fascinating—just when you think they’re celebrating birth, they can also be read as ironic, prompting a lot of reflection.

But above all, the real charm lies in the music.

Depending on the section, the melodies and sounds vary dramatically, revealing many different facets.

The vocals are lovely, of course, but do try listening closely to the music at least once.

[MV] Friendly Fire feat. Kasane Teto

Friendly Fire OSTER project

Set to a high-speed jazz-rock sound and delivering a cynical message, this is an exhilarating number.

Released by OSTER project in August 2025, it reached 12th place in the VOCACOLLE 2025 Summer TOP 100 rankings.

The dazzling brass that evokes a big band and the driving bassline are insanely cool.

The lyrics explore the difficulty of human relationships, where words without malice can turn into weapons.

It’s hard not to empathize with the protagonist who decides to trust no one and fight alone.

If you’re worn out from social interactions, listening to it might clear your head.

Amano Jakku / 164 feat. GUMI (Official)

Amano-jaku 164

What this title—playing on the word “Amanojaku” (a contrary, contrary-hearted spirit)—evokes is a feeling of “not being able to be honest,” isn’t it? Those hazy, fragile stirrings of the heart are sung over a pop, cool band sound.

The song, cried out as if appealing to you, both invites empathy and shakes the hearts of those who listen.

Hachioji-P × Giga “Gimme×Gimme feat. Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Rin”

Gimme×Gimme Hachioji-P × Giga

It’s a track that exudes a refined kind of cool, one that doesn’t rely on sheer momentum.

It’s not the kind of song that instantly pumps you up.

Yet its coolness captivates many without fail.

Carried by a sprightly, enigmatic melody, the lively singing dances along, emanating a sultry allure that even hints at a touch of mystery.

The Japanese-style rock sound is simply irresistible.

YAMADA PERFECT / jon-YAKITORY, Hatsune Miku

Yamada PERFECT jon - YAKITORY

It’s a track that boosts your energy just by listening! Created by jon-YAKITORY and released in July 2024.

Combined with Hatsune Miku’s powerful vocals, it captivates listeners.

Highly recommended when you want to flip your motivation switch or face yourself.
