Yoiyamione two three
When every day feels like a painful repetition… that’s exactly when you should listen to this song.
It’s by Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for incorporating traditional Japanese flavors into their style, released in 2022.
This is a hybrid Vocaloid track that intertwines the timbres of Japanese instruments with a distorted guitar sound.
The moment it shifts into an EDM-style four-on-the-floor beat, you can really feel Hifumi’s musical breadth.
And I especially want you to pay attention to the lyrics—particularly the ending, the outro.
It’s no exaggeration to say everything is condensed there.

The warm yet bittersweet lyrics make it a memorable medium-tempo ballad.

The song evokes a world that feels suspended between reality and dreams, and Ura Mei’s slightly mature vocals add a touch of nostalgia.

Give an ear to its genre-defying rock sound.
