Gonna try to do this every Friday evening from now on to get some discussion going on here. Not sorted by anything, just 5 songs I want to share and say a few words about.
I came across this a few weeks ago and really liked it. The melody is catchy, the lyrics are relatable in some way that I don’t really understand, the mv is really cute, and that’s all I can say. I’m bad at words.
2: Siinamota - Drug (Drag?) Score
I really liked Siinamota. You’ve likely heard his most famous song „Young Girl A“ (少女A) in one form or another (the Breakcore song „Paranoia“ by Kentenshii uses the refrain as a sample and blew up on TikTok and Youtube), but I really like his entire library. It’s a shame he never really got popular until after his death.
r-906 is one of my favorite producers and this song is how I discovered him. He uses Vocal Synths in ways I rarely see from other producers and he excels at it. Not really much more to say here, just a really nice song.
Kikuo is one of my favorite artists outside of the Vocaloid sphere as well. Incredibly creative and, although some of his older lyrics can be a bit sickening (cough gomenne gomenne cough), they usually tell interesting stories with much room for interpretation, that often ends up being surprisingly relatable (except for said older songs. If you relate to those I seriously worry for your mental and physical wellbeing)
Very nice song. I don’t consider myself trans (!RemindMe 5 years) but I still find the lyrics relatable and the mv cute. It annoys me to see a large portion of the top comments trying to downplay the very obvious trans themes to justify their liking of the song without having to acknowledge their existence.
And that’s it for this week. I’d appreciate any recommendations or just comments in general, I’ve been missing some sense of community in the fandoms I’m in on here. Otherwise, see you next week.
