This is a song I came across during a random spotify shuffle a while ago, and I was instantly taken by the near immediate combination of urgency and anxiety, the latter mostly coming through in some of the strange melodies and discordant clashing of some sounds. KAFU is a voicebank I haven't come across as much as nearly as often as the classic Vocaloids but I find the general tone especially when used in a song as chaotic as this to be very interesting. There's an inherent clash between the feel of the instrumentation and the voice for the most part, barring a few moments where the voice comes down a bit along with the rest of the song in a very melancholic sort of way, which, looking at the song lyrically is fairly fitting. Despite the fast paced somewhat light(?) energy it seems to present at times, this is definitely not a happy song, though, and the listlessness and depression of the singer along with their strong desire to not let anyone know about their struggles are on full display.
