It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Inabakumori, who won over overseas Vocaloid fans with the smash hit “Lagtrain,” and it was released in 2018.

Despite its sense of speed, it feels different from an upper-tune, likely thanks to the understated melody and Yuki’s whispery vocals.

And the arrangement—centered on two chords that create a wide dynamic range, as heard in the intro—deserves nothing but admiration for its finesse.
