Alien AlienNEW!Nayutan Alien
A track released on Niconico in April 2016 that went on to hit a million views.
Set to a four-on-the-floor beat, its lyrics vividly depict the rush of a love that feels like your heart is being stolen by an alien.
Despite the cosmic motif, it’s filled with universal feelings of love—frustration at not being understood and single-hearted devotion—so it’s sure to resonate with many listeners.
It was included on the January 2017 album “Object Y from Nayutan Planet,” and has since seen wide-ranging exposure, from inclusion in rhythm games to covers by voice actors.

Return ZeroNEW!Aliey:S
An avant-garde electronic track sprinkled with programming terminology.
Released in October 2025 by Aliey:S, the piece features Rei Adachi’s impassive, inorganic vocals that leave a strong impression.
Through technical terms like integer maximum value, overflow, and semicolon, it portrays the anguish of an AI pushing up against the limits of its memory capacity.
The explosive chorus is another highlight—it feels like getting smacked in the head.
Let yourself be swept away by this wave of sound.
Donut holeNEW!Bee
This song uses the sensation of “having a hole” as a metaphor to depict the sense of loss and emptiness that everyone carries.
Created by Hachi in October 2013 after about two years and nine months, it also has a self-cover version included on the album YANKEE.
Characterized by an alternative rock sound and GUMI’s heartrending vocals, it captures the movement of a heart that strives to move forward while accepting what’s broken.
In October 2024, a collaboration project with the premium chocolate brand GODIVA was realized.
It’s a work that resonates with those who feel as if there’s a hole in their hearts, yet continue searching for something nonetheless.
