A dazzling piano and band sound. 【Creator’s Comment】 Congratulations on your 18th anniversary! “Layla” is a song that compares Miku and listeners not to stars or planets, but to small, inconspicuous “dwarf planets.” We tend to be plain and mediocre in everything we do, but that’s why we have a song we can sing! I created this with that in mind.

I wrote the title track, “Rainy Day,” with the determination to make it a wonderful song. Just as Miku breathes life into Vocaloid producers, and Vocaloid producers are brought to life by Miku, we walk together with music. So, rainy days like this aren’t so bad. Happy 18th birthday, Miku.

Every year around this time, we hear the phrase “Genjitsutsurai” (“Reality is Ending”). But, when Magical Mirai ends and everyone returns to their “ordinary” everyday lives, they continue into the next future.
