砂の惑星 (Suna no Wakusei)

Background
I think that the environment encircling Vocaloid has changed a fair bit since I was in it.

Using the opportunity of having the matter of the theme song being given to me, I thought: if I, as Hachi, were to make a song with Miku now, what would be the most appropriate? This was the result.

While reminiscing of the Vocaloid landscape that I saw and the castles we had built in the sandbox, and seeking the perfect balance between nostalgic feelings and new feelings, there was the "sand planet". "Suna no Wakusei" is a song composed and arranged by Hachi after his long absence in VOCALOID music scene since his previous work, "Donut Hole". This is a theme song for Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2017 and featured on "Magical Mirai 2017 Official Album".

This song entered the Hall of Fame at an amazing speed, 5 hours and 27 minutes after its upload. Amazingly, it broke the record for fastest song to enter Hall of Legend (previously held by FREELY TOMORROW), taking only 6 days 5 minutes to earn its first million views. This song subsequently broke the record for fastest 2 million, 3 million, and 4 million views on Niconico.

Concerts
