Vocaloid producer Mizore, known for distinctive songs built on a unique atmosphere and sound, has gained popularity while also actively supporting other artists on guitar and piano.

A solitary, heartrending song by Harumaki Gohan, who rose to prominence with Galaxy Log.

Everyone lives carrying secrets, unable to share that pain with anyone.

It’s a bittersweet Vocaloid song that portrays the struggle with self-esteem.
Created by Owari Saito, it was released in February 2025.
Beneath its pop sound, it weaves in a distinctive dark edge and a fantastical worldview.

Let it help you sort out your emotions—and go ahead and give that present.
