Hatsune Miku - Craspedia no yuuutsu

Another excellent work from Okame-P. Miku’s singing this time. V2, of course. I believe Okame is reluctant to upgrade to V3 because the vocal might lose, you know, his special sounding, melancholic and a bit distant. Or maybe he thinks that we, the fandom, do not deserve it. I hate to admit it, but we don’t deserve it indeed ;) Anyway, Okame’s ‘special sounding’ is present in “Craspedia...” in full strength, with slow and immersive tempo, lots of instrumental sequences and exquisite atmosphere. The piano part, well, isn’t challenging Muryoku-P yet, but it’s got dangerously close :) The really unexpected element for me was the breakdown, sounding sickly brutal in contrast with the main mood of the music.

Okame says that the song was inspired by the movie “A Beautiful Mind”. Also JFYI, craspedia is a kind of flower, native to Australia. And ‘yuuutsu’ means ‘depression’.

Oh, and good news: Okame-P has noted he’s working on a second LP!

The color scheme must’ve been chosen to match craspedia…
