I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Let me introduce a dark track by PolyphonicBranch, who has also made waves with major-label full album releases: “Less Than Human.” This piece depicts the murky emotions of a girl trapped in self-loathing.

The drum and bass sound and the restrained, understated vocal delivery seem to express the darkness of the heart.

Also pay close attention to the spoken lines scattered throughout the song and the comically tinged melodic lines.

It’s a song that leaves a bittersweet afterglow, as if you’re sinking to the bottom of a deep sea.

Created by Vocaloid producer Kashi Moimi, it was released in September 2024.

Hanakuma Chifuyu’s whispery vocals and the delicate sound arrangement are deeply moving.

The lyrics portray lingering attachment and regret over losing a connection with someone important, making it a real tearjerker.

It’s the kind of piece you’ll want to listen to alone at night.
