The meaning of lifeplain water
Ikiru Imi (The Meaning of Life), which gives us a chance to reconsider what life is all about, was created in 2023 by the Vocaloid producer Tadanomizu.
Over a simple arrangement of piano and vocals, KAFU’s androgynous voice resonates.
The lingering childlike quality of the voice paired with lyrics depicting sorrow and loneliness leaves a strong impression.
Amid days constantly flooded with anxiety, the song conveys feelings directed toward the precious person who became an emotional support.
It’s a Vocaloid ballad whose clear, translucent melody and vocals offer a sense of healing.

Because we have someone precious, we can keep pushing ourselves.

You may have heard that phrase before, but surely it’s something everyone has felt at some point, isn’t it? These lyrics express that feeling, singing, “You’re my everyday source of strength.” The calm piano accompaniment heightens the song’s moving atmosphere even more.
It’s an emotional song that makes you want to go see the person you cherish as you listen.
The Last Confession of the Earthkemu
I think everyone has wished at least once, “I don’t want to grow up,” or “If only I could become ageless and never die, I’d have infinite time.
” This is the story of a boy whose wish actually came true.
The sorrow of having to go on living even after your family and loved ones are gone really comes through, and it brings tears to your eyes.

Although wowaka is often associated with fast-paced, super energetic songs, this track has a relaxed, somehow nostalgic feel that’s very appealing.
The lyrics do, of course, but the melody itself tugs at your heartstrings, making it overwhelming to listen to.

It’s a song that makes you feel like you might cry when you listen to it—especially when you’re just barely getting through each day or giving it your all.
I’ve heard it was made for people who are simply living, which explains why it gently sinks into your heart.
It’s a song I highly recommend when you’re feeling tired.
