Expressing the theme of the Backrooms and repetition merely through a chorus that emphasizes repetition is not only ordinary, but it also doesn't push through with extreme repetition, playing safely within the bounds of average Vocaloid pop. It's just a mediocre track. Because music like this keeps becoming successful through music video memes, people seem to think that a song has to blow up through a music video...
It seems to capture the feeling of liminal spaces really well
This song feels well-crafted to convey the atmosphere and emotions of liminal spaces and the Backrooms—which give a repetitive and directionless feel—through its lyrics and sound. While going viral with an addictive music video likely contributed to its popularity, it is still great even when listened to without the video!!
The sound of a different caliber gives me goosebumps all over my body. While the constantly repeating melody can get tiring at times, I think that is precisely why it became popular in a world dominated by short-form content. It is so addictive that it stays stuck in my head. My brain melts at the excellent sound and strong addictiveness. Isn't SynthV a type of sound unheard of in the Vocaloid sphere, or perhaps even in the wider music scene? Wouldn't this song be close to a flagship track for SynthV?

The subject matter of the Backrooms and an addictive, catchy sound. The eye-catching MV is as flashy as street neon signs.
Regardless of its overall polish, the flaw is that the theme is too monotonous.
Going beyond using the subject of the Backrooms as a mere background, it used it as the core driving force behind the song's structure and sound design. It implements the properties of a repeating space through loops and maintains immersion to the very end through variations within it. The sound texture created inside perfectly engineers the tension unique to liminal spaces.
