XXXMerokuru

XXX / Merokuru feat. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Megurine Luka

It’s an electronic tune that combines glamour and coolness.

“XXX,” created by Vocaloid producer Merokuru, was released in June 2024.

They aimed for a song that MAVE:, the virtual girls’ group from Korea, might sing, and you can certainly feel K-pop elements in the melodic construction.

If you change the settings on YouTube, you can also watch the English version, so definitely check it out if you’re interested.

Still… I’m truly impressed by the breadth of Merokuru’s musicality.

Yui Kizuna / Hifumi feat. Otomachi Una

A heart-wrenching guitar rock song about a breakup with a lover.

It’s a track by Hifumi, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Moudoku ga Osou,” released in 2019.

The tune is catchy, but perhaps because of the lyrics and storytelling, the vocals still resound with sadness.

If you’ve recently gone through a heartbreak, please give it a listen.

The gaps felt in conversations with current students and the depiction of waning stamina are oddly realistic.

Highly recommended for adults who’ve ever wished, “I want to go back to my school days.”
