I feel this one in my SOUL. I'm at a point in my life where I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm just scrambling to find SOMETHING that works. Is there anything that works? I don't know. Wish I did.
Definitely a new favourite of mine! I like the disparity between the calm melodies and Avanna’s voice compared to the panicked lyrics, it’s like waves that look like a tsunami far away, but only make a little splash when they reach the shore. A strange description, but that’s what I visualised!
I really needed to hear this song. I just went through a fairly rough break up and it wasn't either of our fault. But we both are pretty hung up on the what if's of what could have been.
I don’t listen to your music too often, but you’re hitting every part of my life that I come in contact with now. I have several paths in front of me, and even so, I sit here and sulk, too scared or too tired to go down any of them. I’m trying to take a few steps forward with therapy though, we’ll see where that leads.
I really love the work you’ve put into these. I’m going to be streaming Specters for a while, and these tough times make it all the more fitting. Keep it up, Lupin. :)
found this from a compilation and I'm so thankful. I wish I heard this sooner, but your song coming into my life now is also exactly what I needed. Thank you !
this song sounded really familiar to me.. until i realized i watched the stream for this one in january, maybe? Either way, the end result is stunning!
I was going to say something, but then I realized I was writing an entire essay. I don't know you that well, and my own experiences with being emotionally honest never turn out well. I guess you can say, I have quite a bit of anxiety and self-doubt about that in particular, in addition to all of my other anxiety and self-doubt. I've already over shared and need to stop. That said, well done

Me too. Especially now in college. I dont know path to take. This song hits me pretty deeply
Here before the premiere to tell y'all this is probably my favorite song from the album.
Definitely a new favourite of mine!

I like how poetic the lyrics is

Just heard a remixed version of this in the SNOW MIKU 2024 pre-show and had to come straight back here. this song is so good
I really love the work you’ve put into these. I’m going to be streaming Specters for a while, and these tough times make it all the more fitting. Keep it up, Lupin. :)
I had a physical reaction to this I'll have you know
just shouted 'nice' and cheered
honestly this is my favorite song. it has such a beautiful sound. this one actually made me tear up. truly beautiful ❤️
I've been breaking the repeat button for this song on Bandcamp since this morning. Can't wait to see the video! 🎶❤️🎶
found this from a compilation and I'm so thankful. I wish I heard this sooner, but your song coming into my life now is also exactly what I needed. Thank you !
Ah, thank you! I'm happy to be on that compilation, was super exciting to be invited. :)
You must be the best Avanna's master, this is beautiful

Been waiting for this since The Dots stream. Please destroy my bloodline once you drink all the meatloafs :]
Daijyi I-
Have you drank your meatloaf yet?
We must absolutely stop the replacing of penguins
also the Lingering Thots, gotta stop those
We need to stop so many things
Looove this one, one of my faves of this album!
I Loves Its And The Beginning The Piano Parts Sounds Similar To Daft Punk Within But I Love That Musics Toos
At 4:20 AM, this is the best notification ever! I'm so glad I didn't sleep yet. Avanna sounds hella AMAZING!!
holy clutch, this is good.
so, so good. i've been blessed tonight.
I love etching and sketching to this song.
This was very calming! Thank you for another amazing song!
No se imaginarían el tiempo que llevo esperando esta canción, ash, la amo. simplemente la amo.

Avanna is my favorite vocaloid.

I just happened to read this at exactly 2:33 am. 😅

Here for the premiere, an amazing song! I love your work and am glad I found your channel!
The line " When communication breaks down I feel so alone." is where I'm at in my life right now.
It's "When communication fails I always feel so low"-- sorry about that tho. :
@@nostraightanswer lol Still hits the same. Keep up the good work.
You spoil us
god I'm in love with all of these
4:02 PATTERN 38 CREW
Dude you need to post your setlist used in miku expo 2023, it was pure fireeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
literally love the album, and all these premieres, Lupin
Really enjoyed the whole process watching you make this. Already saw the stream-based in jokes in the comments, so I'm off the hook there
