きくおミク

As the first album in the Kikuo Miku series, this album lets you listen to Kikuo's sound from before his style was completely established. If you are familiar with Kikuo's usual style, there are parts that might feel a bit mild for Kikuo, yet you can still catch glimpses of his creative production as always. Another great advantage is that you can properly feel the fairytale-like and mysterious atmosphere of early Kikuo. Listening to the fairytale-like tracks, you bizarrely get the feeling that Miku's vocals sound like a young child singing, which is another great aspect provided by Kikuo's unique tuning style. Furthermore, even when dealing with the same genre, Kikuo's music carries his distinct flavor. It almost feels as if he creates a genre named 'Kikuo' itself. In this album as well, flashes of innovative genre shifts in sound stand out throughout, and the key point is that this occurs not only between songs but also within a single track. While there are tracks like 'Don't Look at Me Like That' with a calm waltz style that feels like listening to a nursery rhyme, tracks reminiscent of orthodox electronic Vocaloid music like 'Infinite Dreamer' coexist. However, due to the composer 'Kikuo's' own distinct personality, this genre disparity flows organically without feeling out of place. This is perhaps where the greatest power of Kikuo's musicality lies. Best Track: 僕をそんな目で見ないで, 天国へ行こう, 星くずの掃除婦

Maybe because Kikuo has no formal music training, his music flows in completely unexpected directions, making it really fun. It feels like playing volleyball with a baseball player who has great athletic instincts. A section might be calm, and then just a few seconds later, an intense sound bursts through—you never get bored of it. Kikuo, who can create music like this, seems like a living being made purely of artistic instinct. If you're tired of Vocaloid songs that all sound the same, why not give Kikuo a try?

An album where you can feel a surprisingly unexpected charm from Kikuo, who usually writes songs with gloomy and esoteric lyrics. It feels like ordering curry at a coffee shop and discovering that the curry is actually delicious.
