kikuo song today! my favorite, in fact (also from the mika playlist), batsu neko

the opening is what caught me first...kikuo intros are always unique to the rest of the song but this one in particular just.. hits harder than the rest for me? it's super cool and more assertive than usual, i feel

and as for the rest of the song. well. of course i have to say i love the meowing of course i do. But like other than that it really does feel like a punishment or a series of what is perceived as warranted punishments!!!! and the chorus in particular + the leadout to the carefree life does a damn incredible job of capturing an agonizing helplessness and intense emotionally charged internalized responses before going oh well that's just how it is huh

...just for funsies im gonna send you the kikuo song i have on my shu playlist for tomorrow's song (i do a lot of parallels on theirs i have parasites eating my brain)

kikuo... from a mika playlist... with neko in the title... <- already intrigued

ough the intro is so good... and the way part of the background melody kind of sounds like something shattering??? wonderful. i dig that. the art is so fun, too <3

it's so good... the very dark sounding chorus to that very end of it being called "carefree" like... ough. it's so good... BUT NO IT DOES FEEL LIKE THAT??? despairing and agonizing because you're so helpless only to pick yourself up and say "well, this is just how it is~"
