An oldie but a goodie by the Vocaloid Producer who always has time for Halloween!! It's quite literally a song about accidentally stepping on a frog and the melodramatic contemplations about life that followed.
i hope everyone understands that the reason I draw hair Like That is because dark woods circus was seared into my brain at the age of 13 and that i was obsessed with the stylization of the chibis with the segmented strands of hair
Music talk again. I haven't had much time to draw, but a lot of time to listen to all sorts of music. This time, it's a horror song lyrically, and the video is a little creepy.

Tsugihagi Sandoku! Might be my favourite work by Machigerita, especially in terms of lyrics. Even the music video, though pretty simple, is very aesthetically fitting. Though I love all of his darker, more visual-kei inspired songs. He's surprisingly versatile as a composer, but this kind of style is his strongest suit. Or was, rather. He hasn't made such songs, or any original songs, or any songs at all, or even posted anything online in ages now. I hope he's doing alright! His stuff is very nostalgic for me, because I, like a lot of anime-loving kids, used to scare myself with creepy vocaloid songs, and he's made, like, a lot of those, to the point that it's surprising. I had a lot of "Wait, he did that too?" moments going through his discograpy. But apart from that, he just seems like a nice man. So I really hope he's alright.
Lyrics discussion below — if anyone even cares. I know that nobody reads my music posts (lol), but still, a customary content warning for murder, death, cannibalism and child abuse mentions. Though they're presented in a horror story way, not in a real life tragedy way.
Firstly, if you don't know japanese (and even care), you can use the translation by pricechecktranslations on their tumblr. It's a good one.
Anyway. This is somewhat common for Machige, but the lyrics are rather vague and don't have a clear story. And that's a good thing, it's a very good move for horror specifically. Another work of his, "Okaasan", is rather scary because it doesn't tell you much and just gives you an image of something bizzare, threatening and fast-approaching. Though Tsugihagi Sandoku is a bit different, since there's no immediate threat presented to the listener, just a sad and slightly bizzare image, so it's more disturbing than outright scary. Really, the only actually outwardly horror-ey thing is the girl's last mentioned meal.
However, I kind of dislike the intended (or at least commonly accepted, but from what I know about the official novel, it really is intended) story behind the lyrics. You know... How it's about a girl who's neglected by her mother, whose only friend is her doll. How she's so lonely that she begins to hallucinate the doll telling her to kill her mother, and how she does that. And eats her also. It's just... Very silly and whimsical, if you ask me. The whole "voices telling a loner to kill whoever wronged them" thing is so stereotypical for the horror genre. At least the presentation's stylish, elegant and rather vague. It's better this way. "Nothing is scarier" and all. It might've been a fantasy and all. I like that kind of phantasmagorical lonely horror feeling. It's like the girl is slowly going insane because she feels so alone and unloved.
Gap crush is a term used by kpop YT channel 1TheK in which kpop artists try to give different impressions of their own songs. I thought it would be interesting to do this concept but with Vocaloid, so I offer you this list of songs who sound very different but are actually made by the same producer!
*Luna: The upbeat "Manic" VS the deep "Wing of Longing"
DIVELA: The hopeful "METEOR" VS the desperate "Dererere"
Junky: The sparkling "Melancholic" VS the hard rock of "Lifeline"
Kinoshita: The sweet "Positive☆Dance Time" VS the bitter "I Despise That Kind of You"
KurageP: The crazy rock of "Chururira Chururira Daddadda!" VS the soft despair of "My R"
Machigerita: The violence of "Rotten Girl Grotesque Romance" VS the innocence of "Suki Suki Darling"
Maretu: The cute and fast "Try to Say the P Names!" VS the slow and creepy "Darling"
Masa: The nightmareish "The Spider and the Kitsune-like Lion" VS the heartwarming "life is 39"
mathru: The silly "Dancing☆Samurai" VS the traumatic "Bacterial Contamination"
OSTER project: The cuteness of "Koisuru VOC@LOID" VS the darkness of "A Fox's Wedding"
BONUS: Slander time because I hate p*dophiles
Did you know that LamazeP, producer of PoPiPo, Triple Baka, Ai no Uta, made a song called "Premature Romance" ? You don't need to go check it up because the official description reads "becoming a l*licon" (=p*dophile). Yeah. Don't support him.
Did you know that Kikuo, producer of Aishite Aishite Aishite, Gomenne Gomenne, You're a Worthless Child, participated in creating numerous songs featuring children AND s*x ? A good example is "Shooting Star Technica". Again, don't listen to it, you'll understand just by glancing at the thumbnails of the YT reprints. Idc about whatever Kikuo had to say about this, with all the amount of things that relate him to child ab*se and ped*philia it's just too much for me to casually brush it away.
