i'm not usually one to listen to voice synth music anymore, but this single is really enjoyable! it's one of those songs that sounds very cute and poppy in tandem with dark themes. in my opinion, pulling that off has become increasingly difficult because of so much media that goes that route, leading to over-saturation and audience irritation.

this song strikes a balance and remains as an great example of an edgy, cute pop song which acknowledges that it's still a little silly!

the story of the song also revolving around teto's voicebank randomly rising to success when it was created as an april fool's joke, the stress of being a pop star eating her alive, is a treat for UTAU and vocaloid fans! lone's designs for the music video are also a huge reason why i love it!

louie zong does it agaaain! i guess i would call this like a playful dungeonsynth album. depending on my mood, the atmosphere it provides can feel contemplative and fantastical or low-key and fun. it's a regular in my collection of fantasy synth music and i don't see it getting old any time soon.

when "military fashion show" blew up in ~2023, i heard it for the first time and was hooked, but there are other songs in "bodypop" by and one that rival its thoroughly addictive, almost industrial electro-pop beat.

"so klingt liebe" (tl. "the sound of love") is a dreamy, seductive, almost comically sensual favorite of mine now. it's honestly been stuck in my head for like a year and i always clap during the pre-chorus! meanwhile "stand the pain" and "body company" fill the same niche of my unending need for dramatic pop with a strong beat, their sexy percussion warrants countless re-listens.

i recommend listening to this album all the way through sometime, as the songs blend into each other seamlessly and it's a great listening experience!

i was very surprised to find that hakita (AKA "heaven pierce her", the musician behind the stellar, blood-pumping metal OST of ULTRAKILL) made this album.

even when my severe anxiety has me sleepless and sobbing in the dead of night, "closing time" and "the world, and so much more" are two of the very few songs which can soothe me. it brings a kind of soothing clarity with its gentle, layered melodies which bring me peace in my worst moments as it shows me that tranquility is possible. if i were to liken it to any sensation, it would be the feeling of relief as you wash your face with cool water after crying.

this album is short and sweet, but can be listened to as many times as your weary heart needs.

i've listened to this album countless times, honestly. anything vaporwave is a guilty pleasure of mine, but this is some of the best i know.

it's calm, sexy, and low-key. it helps me focus and is always welcome in the rotation when i'm trying to draw/write something sensual.

this album is SOOO FUN!!! eurobeat is a genre i love to put on when i need a shot of adrenaline... no wonder i'm such a big fan of ACE's song "adrenaline"!

this album a joy to listen to, it's full of energy and very catchy. there's a lighthearted nature to it and i find it a little silly at times, but only in a good way. i didn't realize how much i loved their song "me and you" until i bought the album for myself on bandcamp. it is SO sweet, i had it stuck in my head for a few days and it'll definitely happen again.

i may not be a fan of the multiple covers/editions included in this album and i tend to skip them, but everything else is a must-listen imo!
