Azareii's Spotlight

Two spotlights in two days? What is this witchcraft? What the filstrinar made this possible? Irrelevant. What is relevant is the focus of this spotlight. Laur, an artist you can be sure Google assistant is never going to interpret properly when you just want to hear Viyella's Nightmare and this tangent needs to end. Laur is a hardcore artist who includes some classical and metal elements to their music.

I can't really speak as to their most popular songs, partially because I don't keep aware of their songs' popularity, partially because they aren't all that popular (a crime, I know). I'll go with YT Music's top songs.

Grievous Lady is listed as by Team Grimoire on Spotify and as by Team Grimoire and Laur on YT Music. I don't know which is more accurate, but I'm adding the song here.

YT Music also lists Arcana Eden as with Team Grimoire. It also adds Sakuzyo to the ring.

Now for my personal favorites.

Is it Kikuo time? I think it's Kikuo time.

Kikuo makes some wierd stuff and it's amazing. I find it a bit difficult to describe their music, partially because its diversity. I've spent an hour trying to come up with a description to no avail, so I'll just put up some of their more popular song along with my personal favorites.

Note: Kikuo's songs get DARK. If you may respond poorly to a subject matter, I advise you check on the song's content before listening/viewing the lyrics. Hitogawari in particular hits me hard and I know others definitely have it worse.

The following are in collaboration with Hanatan.

Ahaha, I've not been encorpsified. It is now past time for another Spotlight. This artist is a little more known than most I'be covered, but with the rules for this blog, I could show [insert popular artist here] and it would be valid.

Today's artist is Circus-P. Circus is among the most well known english vocaloid producers and deserves all the recognition he has. He makes music in a variety of styles and has made song both in english and japanese. His albums include Lucid, 715, and CMYK. Some of his most popular songs include Circus Monster, iNSaNiTY, and Copycat.

Here are the aforementioned songs:

and here are some of my personal preferences:

"Another post? I thought he forgot about his blog. Seems he remembered it after all."

Moving on from that bit of intro, on to the next artist: Mili.

Mili is a music group that hardly follows typical music conventions, though that's not particularly abnormal for the Spotlight. One of the most recognizable aspects of their music is Cassie Wei's vocals. Her voice is a bit difficult for me to describe, but that's what the music inserts are for.

They have made a number of songs for soundtracks, including:

-The opening of Goblin Slayer (Rightfully)

-The opening of The Executioner and Her Way of Life (Paper Bouquet)

-A number of songs for Library of Ruina (To Kill a Living Book [Album])

-A song in coordination with Limbus Company (In Hell We Live, Lament)

They also have multiple individual albums and singles.

Some of my favorites are:

Ga1ahad and Scientific Witchery

world.execute(me);

Mirror Mirror

Iron Lotus

and Children of the City

Onto Cephied, another vocaloid producer, thought a much different one. Cephied makes metal songs, a trait that is often a deterrent. He is among my top metal artists despite his relatively infrequent release schedule. His songs tend to be particularly melodic and generally uses screams in the bridge, with clear vocals in the verses and choruses. He doesn't tend to release in albums, rather releasing music as singles. His one collection of music is called "Lost. Forgotten. Shattered.". Here are some of my favorite songs of his.

Another music artist? Yes. Inabakumori, to be specific.

Inabakumori is a vocaloid artist who primarily uses Kaai Yuki. Many might know their song Lagtrain, from the numerous parodies of the song and/or video. The songs can range from the fast paced Lost Umbrella, to the aforementioned Lagtrain, with upbeat tones but a somewhat different undertone that I can't quite describe, and to the melancholic Haru no Sekibaku.

I'm having a bit of a difficult time coming up with descriptions so I'll just link the songs mentioned above.

I couldn't find Lagtrain on Spotify so here's the youtube video.

Let us begin.

The first artist I would like to highlight is Alice Schach and the Magic Orchestra. I will be referring to them as Alice Schace or some other abbreviation as that is a long name to type.

Alice Schach is a music group that creates extremely unique songs. Their songs feature their own language, Alician, which does have meaning and translations in YouTube's open captions and on their website. I've primarily listened to their second album, SCHACH, though its predecessor, Alice Schach and the Reminiscent Bibliotheca is by no means devoid of quality.

Being completely honest, I didn't know Alice Schach and the Frozen World Tree existed until today, and I'll be looking into that shortly.

I will now proceed to add my favorite songs from the two albums listed in the summary.

Reminiscent Bibliotheca

SCHACH

Now some other favorites. Due to my preferences, there will be more SCHACH songs than Bibleotheca songs.
