I couldn’t fully become it.kyiku
This piece portrays the painfully honest cries of a heart struggling to become its ideal self.
Created by Vocaloid producer Kyiku and released in August 2025, it presents a dim, haunting world centered on the theme of “failed eclosion,” leaving a deep impression.
As the creator says they “wrote as honestly as possible,” the lyrics lay bare a soliloquy-like wavering of emotion, and the trembling sound design draws listeners into deep introspection.
On nights when you’re sunk in a helplessness you can’t shake, when you want to immerse yourself in music alone, this work is sure to stay close to you.
