Toa – Twilight Light – ft. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin

A heartfelt ballad, “Twilight Light,” is also recommended.

This song was written by Vocaloid producer Toa for a unit that appears in the game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” There are two versions: the one used in the game, and another sung by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin.

The former features a passionate vocal performance, while the latter is arranged with a more ballad-like delivery.

It’s worth listening to both.
