Thinking of how Kikuo’s songs are in terms of the general juxtaposition between the generally darker lyrics mixed with a happier sounding vocalization and sometimes instrumental, I’m reminded of PinnochioP. Though the specific style of instrumentals between them, – between Kikuo and PinnochioP, – are a bit different, maybe it’s something you’d be interested in?
Some of my favorite vocaloid songs are done by PinnochioP actually. Songs like Slow Motion have lyrics which seem just fine but are more existential in nature when taken on the whole. Phrases like “This song has about two minutes left, but how long until you’ve kicked the bucket?” hook me.
They actually released something yesterday that I happened to like. “Apple dot com.”
I don’t think there’s much to really analyze with a track like that, but I was pretty entertained by the song overall. It features the same sort of contrast that Kikuo has.
