EMBLEMUtsu-P
A heart-stirring track where intensity and delicacy coexist.
Released by Utsu-P in July 2024, it features a heavy musical style and GUMI’s powerful vocals.
The lyrics, which explore discomfort with society and the search for self-identity, are striking, vividly portraying the struggles of people living in the modern age.
Coupled with its weighty sound, it’s a work that leaves a deep impression on listeners.
While following Utsu-P’s signature style, the song is even more refined.
It’s a must-listen for those who feel life is difficult or who haven’t yet found their sense of purpose.
Ghosts and FruitItaby
Guided by the mysterious timbres of electronica, this instrumental piece invites you into a wondrous world.
Composed by Itaby, the track was released in July 2024.
Its expansive soundstage and depth are pleasing to the ear, carrying a charm that makes you want to listen again and again.
Elements from various genres blend together to create a uniquely atmospheric feel.
The contrast between “ghost” and “fruit” suggested by the title seems to hint at themes such as past and future, memory and ripening.
This work leaves a quiet afterglow, awakening each listener’s own emotions and interpretations.
It may be the perfect track for those seeking music that resonates with the heart.
Grand GuignolRuLu
Perhaps due to its mysterious sense of chord progression, this high-sense rock tune offers a depth that feels just out of reach.
It’s a work by Vocaloid producer RuLu, released in 2022, and it participated in the BokaColle 2022 Autumn TOP 100 ranking.
The sound image—combining a mature band sound with release-cut piano—is outrageously cool.
You won’t be able to stop turning up the volume.
The way it leads into the chorus is stylish and liberating.
The fantasy-tinged, decadent lyrical worldview is also part of its charm.
My First HIshida already
You might not be able to guess it from the title, but this is a Vocaloid track that makes you feel like you’re looking at contemporary art.
It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Mou Ishida, released in March 2023.
It ranked 4th in the Rookie category of VocaColle Spring 2023.
Describing it as “glitch art expressed in sound” might give you a vague idea.
.
.
but honestly, it’s faster if you just listen to it.
The sound, the melody, the lyrics, and the music video—every single part is incredible.

RefectoryWalking person
The piece Refactory by the Vocaloid producer Aruku Hito portrays a heartwarming morning scene.
In this work, Hatsune Miku and Kazehiki β sing about the leisurely moments of the morning and the way the day begins from there.
While it has a warm atmosphere, it also seems to reveal glimpses of loneliness and anxiety.
Listening to this piece may offer comfort and courage.
Incidentally, the title likely refers to the English word “refectory,” meaning a dining hall.
GIVE UP This life is brokenDYES IWASAKI
A dance-oriented electronic track that evokes a heart-clenching emotion.
Created by DYES IWASAKI, it was released in June 2024.
I love the irresistible contrast between its pop sound and the lyrics steeped in negative emotions.
The words depicting loneliness and inner conflict resonate deeply with listeners.
It’s a song you’ll want to play on days when you’re exhausted or going through a tough time.
Listening with earphones lets you immerse yourself even more in its world.
Be sure to also check out the version released the same day, sung by Gawr Gura!
She is a girl.OSTER project
A pop tune by OSTER project that sings about Zundamon’s diversity and self-affirmation.
With its bright melody and forward-looking lyrics, this song conveys the importance of living true to yourself.
Many listeners are resonating with its uplifting, encouraging message.
The dramatic arrangement and Zundamon’s cute vocals are both absolutely top-notch.
It’s perfect for your morning routine, too—why not surrender both body and mind to its fantastical sound? Released in 2024, the track has an MV available on YouTube and is currently trending across social media.
