GangsterItoma P
“Gangster” by Itoma-P, the Vocaloid producer known for “Dow wa Youki” and “Youjin,” is a track also included on the album “Giniro Sosogu Machi.” Its aggressive beat, which hurls dissatisfaction at the world, and Len Kagamine’s strained, guttural vocals are just undeniably cool.
The lyrics convey a spit-out resignation, along with a fierce resolve to smash even despair itself.
Those conflicting emotions swirling within the protagonist’s heart are brilliantly portrayed through a downer-tinged sound.
