kagami utsushi (feat. Hanakuma Chifuyu)

"kagami utsushi," meaning "mirror image," is the debut track by the artist wa-ta-shi-is-mine. The lyrics delve into the themes of pain, hatred, and self-exploration within the depths of the human psyche from a philosophical perspective. The title "mirror image" reflects the duality of the protagonist, who is torn between a desire for revenge and a sense of self-loss, highlighting the complexity of emotions and the accompanying danger of self-destruction. This piece questions the importance of self-understanding and healing, while addressing the peril of being consumed by negative emotions. The song combines a bright, pop style reminiscent of upbeat Vocaloid tracks with aggressive elements of Phonk and Drum'n Bass, portraying the conflict between the surface and deeper layers of the human psyche and the resulting self-destruction. Through the song's development, it captures a psychological tension that, after tragedy and strain, seeks a faint glimpse of comfort.
