9 Jpops songs to listen to in your spare time

Rolling Girl is definitely one of the more influential Vocaloid as well as a song on the list. Like many other Wowaka Vocaloids, Rolling Girl is speedingly fast-paced almost as if it’s throwing a fit. This pairs nicely with the heavy theme that it’s implying and makes the robotic Vocaloid singer, Hatsune Miku, sound human. The imagery of this song will stand out because of how desperate and fi...

This sweet, sourless tune will shower your sugary envious eyes and ears to a frothing foothold of ecstasy that any more pink candy visual in this, you would’ve eaten the whole song.
