I've added my Mikuration music and art picks for February to the respective albums.
This time I went with a theme of Mikutrance. Trance is a genre I enjoy listening to, especially when driving. Somewhat recently I've started to listen to Vocaloid trance more again, especially Clean Tears, so I thought I'd have trance as this month's feature.
First is Stratosphere by t.komine, who is better known as Utata-P. Stratosphere is a pretty classic song and there's several edits and self-remixes of the song. The one I chose is the VocaLege edit, that appeared on the Exit Tunes Presents: VocaloLegend album. Somehow this is probably the version I like best.
For my second song pick, I chose a song from Clean Tears. I'm a big fan of Clean Tears' music so I had to include a song from them. The one I chose is called Sakura, which is a rather new song from summer 2019. This song is quite beautiful and melodic in a way. I find it a very relaxing and calming to listen.
As for the artwork, it's not so easy to keep in line with a trance theme, as I can't really come up with any imagery that would clearly link to the music genre in question. I did find this pretty piece of art by Palme☆Mint. Nice use of colours and an exciting pose is what made me choose this particular artwork. Miku extending her hand towards you while she's holding the mic expresses how she connects people through her music. The artwork is titled "Tsunagarou Mirai Made..." which means something like "Let's connect to(until) the future", and Miku is commonly viewed as representing the future, so the naming of the artwork goes along with my interpretation of the art.
