these sick days

Composed of seven fragments documenting days lived alongside inner affliction, these sick days is a record of survival.
Rather than offering easy redemption or recovery, the EP quietly embraces the reality of existing outside what society considers normal. Fractured relationships, dysfunctional routines, unnameable anxieties, and the persistent impulse to continue creating all are rendered with striking clarity.
Running throughout the work is a deeply felt realization:
creation is life support.
The voice of Vocaloid KAFU blurs the boundary between human vulnerability and mechanical detachment, while hybrid production weaving together programmed elements, live instrumentation, and rap forms an airy yet emotionally grounded sonic architecture. The result is a subtle psychological realism that mirrors the instability of modern urban life.
If blackmail functioned as a critique of the external world, these sick days marks a more introspective and existential turn a quiet declaration from chusoyamu, who continue to create music as a means of staying alive. At once a statement of endurance and a shelter for those who struggle to feel normal, the EP expands the collectives artistic trajectory.
Featured tracks include help sign, which confronts personal defect; mentally shelter, suggesting refuge for the emotionally fractured; cloudy feelings, portraying the imbalance between mental health and everyday life; In Words Yet Unknown, longing for understanding through language; and within an unblinding light, where creative impulse itself becomes proof of existence.
Interwoven between these songs are two skits titled medical record, field-documenting the creators psychological states and reinforcing the EP's fragmentary narrative structure.
