꒰୨୧ Project Sekai  - My Favorite 2023 Commissioned Song For Each Group  

Woah, another Project Sekai post. I need to start posting about other franchises lol.

I was going to post this before 2024 but I was on vacation for most of the winter break and then I wanted to finish the Kanade Fragment Sekai analysis and THEN school got in the way, but hey I’m here now!

I’m just gonna be poorly bullet-pointing my thoughts since 1) I’m lazy and 2) If I ever want to do full-on analyses for these songs then I still have material to work with. 

Note: These will be songs released in the JP server since those songs are completely new to the franchise.

ˏ°•⁀➷・VIRTUAL SINGERS

“Everything’s gonna be alright. Creators of the next generation.”

I’m Mine - halyosy ft. VIRTUAL SINGERS

━●─────── 0:39

Nostalgic in every sense of the word; reminds me of the Project Diva games 

This is probably some of my favorite tuning in the game all the VOCALOIDs sound so good 

I love all the electricity and mineral symbolism in the lyrics it’s literally the coolest thing 

Speaking of which the fucking “a cobalt, coral, almandine red…” etc. etc. goes SO HARD I keep replaying that bit because it’s so good 

Also the references to halyosy’s previous VOCALOID songs are really cute 

There literally couldn’t have been a better VIRTUAL SINGERS song for Project Sekai’s 3rd anniversary it feels like a massive love letter to both the Project Sekai fandom and the Vocaloid fandom

ˏ°•⁀➷・Leo/need

“As I look back, all of them have become a constellation.” 

Hoshi wo Tsunagu (Connecting the Stars) -  40mP and Hifumi ft. Leo/need x KAITO

━●─────── 0:39

This is supposed to be an Ichika focus song but it does such a good job at conveying Leo/need’s arc as a whole like this is THEIR song 

This song is so oversaturated in sweetness that I’m going to be sick /pos it’s so cute I love their little friend group 

The instrumentals are so so good and they all get a chance to shine (my favorite is probably the guitar) 

The references to everyone’s first focus events and their character arcs is like the cherry on top 

Everyone sounds so pretty, I especially like the harmonies between Ichika and KAITO

This song feels like an acknowledgment of all obstacles they’ve faced and a celebration of a new beginning for the band and it just makes me ldksjflk

ˏ°•⁀➷・MORE MORE JUMP!

“The glittering lights and the falling shadows, I want to love them all.” 

Momoiro no Kagi (Peach-Colored Key) - iyowa ft. MORE MORE JUMP! x Megurine Luka

━●─────── 0:39

This song sounds beyond divine and has that perfect bittersweet mix of melancholy and joy

Something about the instrumentals in this song scratches my brain in the best way possible ESPECIALLY the piano 

Also incorporating morse code into the song is such a cool idea like??

AIRI’S VOCALS?? SOOO STRONG AND MELODIOUS I LOVE GETTING TO HEAR HER SING LIKE THIS 

This song was so good that I went ahead and read the event story for it and god damn this song did the event storyline justice

I love how uncertain yet optimistic the lyrics are it ties into MMJ’s whole theme of finding light in the darkness 

ˏ°•⁀➷・Vivid BAD SQUAD

“Just like that, what we yearned for is on the other side.”

Beyond the Way - Giga ft. Vivid BAD SQUAD x Hatsune Miku

━●─────── 0:39

Yeah yeah I know I’m sooooooooo original, if it makes things better it was close between this and Gekokujou 

Not only does Beyond the Way go hard as hell (I mean, it’s by Giga so no surprise there), but it shows just how far VBS has come since READY STEADY 

I was blown away by how crisp and in sync everyone sounds the mixing and line distribution is peak 

The VOCALS. The singing is BEYOND INCREDIBLE (no pun intended), especially during the rap bits and the chorus 

My friend and I freaked out when Akito said “Find the way!” and Kohane said “Ready Steady? Get out the way” we love references

I love how confident VBS has become in their skills and how they’re evolving from solely wanting to challenge RAD WEEKEND to aiming to go beyond that and pioneer their own legacy

ˏ°•⁀➷・Wonderland x Showtime

“Ain’t no stopping me. Now, it’s showtime!!”

Mr. Showtime - Hitoshizuku-P×Yama△ ft. Wonderland x Showtime x Megurine Luka

━●─────── 0:39

Wonderland x Showtime + a song with a jazzy feel to it + Tsukasa focus event = An absolute banger 

These are 100% some of the best Tsukasa vocals we’ve gotten in the entire game like his VA has really gotten accustomed to singing in Tsukasa’s voice so applause to him 

Also I like Emu’s little shriek and Tsukasa’s “slay it” they’re so silly wtf 

Yama giving the lyrics double meanings/concepts to portray Tsukasa’s mindset/perception of the world is the most genius thing ever I’m going insane 

The 2D MV is SO GORGEOUS literally one of the best 2D MVs so far 

Great song about embracing the unpredictability of show business and persevering through the adversities that come with it (at least that’s my interpretation of it) 

ˏ°•⁀➷・Nightcord @ 25:00

“So in this seemingly collapsing spiral, let’s dance, dance together.”

Twilight Light - toa ft. Nightcord @ 25:00 x Hatsune Miku

━●─────── 0:39

You don’t know how long it took me to decide between Twilight Light and Engeki (Theatre) because I am so madly in love with both songs (and I may have a slight Mafuyu bias) 

Literal embodiment of “hey everything may have gone/be going to shit but at least we still have each other!"

I really hate to admit this but this song made me cry the lyrics are so comforting and everyone’s vocals are so soft and beautiful (including Miku) 

“The melodies that we create, the words that we pull in, the colors that intertwine together, and the scenes that are stitched together” do I even need to say anything about how good this line is??? 

Also the lines where Kanade and Mafuyu sing together and Ena and Mizuki sing together GAH regardless of whether you ship them or not you have to admit that their relationships with each other are so touching 

A very different but very welcome tonal shift from Composing the Future; this song is somber yet hopeful and I adore seeing Nightcord be able to find solace in each other 

ˏ°•⁀➷・Final Words
