The newly released “Sleeping Summon” is a song that makes use of Kikazaru’s high-pitched voice, which rivals any vocaloid, and is a song that can wash away the negative emotions of the day, depicting a good form of codependency with listeners that is typical of a streamer. In addition, Onoue Shin, who has worked on works for Nogizaka46 and Yamamoto Sayaka, also participated in the arrangement. Please enjoy this song sung by a notable AWA Lounge streamer.

■Comment from Katsuhiko Sugiyama
After meeting with the winner, Kikazaru, she asked me to create a “song that puts you to sleep,” so I made it into a song. It’s not a boring song that puts you to sleep, but a song that washes away the negative emotions of the day. It depicts a positive form of codependency with listeners, as befits a streamer. I wanted a track that would make the most of her high tones, which rival any vocaloid, so I asked Onoue Haru to arrange it, and the song was completed. It’s become a song that I really love. I look forward to seeing Kikazaru’s future success!
