Digital singles have become the latest trend for male seiyuu artists and 2D groups. However, most of the times, these songs make their way into the full CD releases down the road.

When a seiyuu artist or 2D group releases multiple digital singles leading up to an album and that album includes all those songs and barely any new, aren’t digital singles ruining the fun that should be reserved for full-length albums?

In this episode, let’s talk about what digital singles are, how important are they for an artist’s career, and how this trend both keeps seiyuu artists’ music alive but also removes all the novelty of their full-length albums.

Although it easily goes under the radar for many fans of male seiyuu music, Shouta Aoi's "ECLIPSE" is a genuinely solid single. But in this episode, more than talking into deep detail about "ECLIPSE", I ended up going into a bit of detail into what is Shouta Aoi's best song to date, the 7-minute long, post-rock ballad, "I am".

This is an unscripted episode and trigger warning, "I am" is a song that tackles themes of mental health in there. If you feel emotionally fragile, I do not recommend you to listen to that song.

2020 arrived and with it came Kashicomi's best mini-album to date, "Dusk". Overflowing with rock tunes, boasting technical, harmonious vocals (while showcasing the versatility of Shoya Chiba and Sho Nogami as singers) and delivering a set of emotional performances, "Dusk" set a really high bar for what is expected of a seiyuu unit.

While not particularly popular, this mini-album turned Kashicomi into one of the best seiyuu units ever.

This is an unscripted episode all about Kashicomi's "Dusk".
