Do Vocaloids Dream of Doomsday Bird?

This album fundamentally takes a stance as an extension of sasakure's 'Lalalala Apocalypse' series. Sasakure seems to have already produced an album for this series under the name 'Lalalala Apocalypse' before his major debut, and this album appears to be a refined, new version of that. Seeing the Apocalypse series tracks appear in order after the interlude, it is certainly right to view it as fleshed out by adding a few songs as a prologue and epilogue centered around these tracks. The sound is quite remarkable even considering this album came out in 2010. Centered around sasakure's trademark chiptune sound, various unique attempts also stand out, such as calm piano-centric tracks (Fareaway Spring), jazzy piano tracks (Fragile Phoenix), and emotional synth-pop (For Campanella). However, as expected, the tracks that showcase the most exceptional quality inevitably ended up being the key tracks in his specialty chiptune genre (the existing Apocalypse series tracks). Because of this, there was a drawback in that the album's impact was focused only in the middle section, failing to maintain focus on the album from beginning to end. However, looking at it from a narrative perspective, it was the highlight section, so it is fully understandable. In summary, the combination of sasakure's outstanding sound quality and the insertion of a narrative—rare for Vocaloid tracks—utilizing the existing 'Lalalala Apocalypse' series as is, resulted in the birth of one of the most complete Vocaloid albums of the 2010s.

An extension of the 'Lalala Eschatology' series. However, it also contains a large number of early sasakure tracks separate from that. Even though the individual tracks outside the Eschatology series are fundamentally separate, subsequent tracks feature keywords that evoke earlier ones, giving the feeling of reading a long fairy tale set in a connected world. The faintly felt motifs in each song are also a highlight of the album. The mid-to-latter portion, where the album's impact is concentrated, makes you feel as if you have reached the end of a journey. In particular, the intro callback in '*Sayonara World End' is the most impressive part.
