Performer: Ayase (Hatsune Miku Ver.) (Original Song by YOASOBI, Vocal : ikura) Song Title: Yoru ni Kakeru Lyrics/Composition: Ayase Release Date: 2021 Lyrics Translation: https://home.gamer.com.tw/artwork.php?sn=5001507 Original Song Listen: https://youtu.be/by4SYYWlhEs "Yoru ni Kakeru" (Into the Night) is a work by YOASOBI that musicalized Mayu Hoshino's short story "Thanatos no Yūwaku" (The Temptation of Thanatos). It was their debut work and has garnered 290 million views to date. Interviews mentioned that because Ayase initially produced music with VOCALOID, they spent a long time refining the music with ikura in the recording studio during the recording of "Yoru ni Kakeru." There are differences between synthesized voices and human vocals, such as extremely high vocal ranges, continuous key changes and transitions without planned breathing points, which demanded extreme vocal technique and were inhumanly challenging. Ikura frankly admitted to struggling with this for a long time, having no idea how to sing through it while breathing. In the end, she returned to her alma mater (Nihon University College of Art) to seek advice on singing techniques from a professor, and finally completed the recording. However, this version is likely Ayase's ideal version from the start. It just makes you wonder if ikura gets PTSD listening to it .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ
