Toa – It’s a Reset. – ft. KAFU (Toa – Reset – ft. KAFU)

“Reset nano” is a song that gives voice to the feelings you have when you’re sick of everything in the real world.

Created in 2022 by the Vocaloid producer toa, known for signature tracks like “Patchwork Staccato,” it delivers murmured, soliloquy-like phrases in KAFU’s androgynous voice, expressing helplessness and anxiety.

The melody that unfolds in the latter half, expanding into a dreamlike soundscape, is also striking.

It’s a Vocaloid track where lyrics that cast a cynical gaze at society intertwine with a beautiful melody.

Let this song’s message accompany your haze of emotions.

Ghost of Musicuotak

Ghost in Music / Hatsune Miku

Since 2023, uotak has been posting songs on YouTube.

His “Ghost of Music” has been crafted into a track that conveys a sense of expression and a worldview like no other.

It treats music as a living being that, upon dying, circles around those who cherished it and eventually is reborn.

In parallel, it also touches on human death.

You’ll be drawn into the song’s strangely gentle, heartwarming lyrics.

It might be worthwhile to ponder what it means for music to die.
