Usually Harumaki Gohan songs are alright, but this one is special.
So I looked at the metadata of this thing and apparently there is no genre, I guess you could classify this as idk because back when I wanted to write something about this and looked at what AI says about it's genre it also couldn't confidently identify any of the genre as the dominant one?
Also someone said it sounds like the Wii Sports Resort music? And I have no idea how it sounds like that considering I've heard it for at least 3 consecutive years?
This is a commissioned instrumental for a project called "indie anime" where it showcases indie animators that mostly do animations from various music videos, this piece of music is composed to accompany the actual animations on screen and so throughout the music it changes the mood of the music constantly in a way that builds up to the next part, so on and so forth.
I forgot the exact wording about one Japanese comment on YouTube that explains the choice of the song title, but basically in animation, there are multiple layers in the software that helps with animating the background/foreground/characters, onion represents the layers in the software, and Onion Love represents the love to animations.
It's mostly atmospheric, with a vocal synth that mostly represents the words "onion love". Because the music represents animations from different people, naturally the mood of the music constantly jumps from one to the other for almost every bar, and with all the different moods joining together the result is a cohesive piece of a wide variety of emotions that seemingly represents a story of someone sensitive, yet wildly imaginative, in which the music acts as an attempt to represent all these emotions in a way that makes sense as a piece (if you take away the variety of the tone of the music, despite the consistency of the instrumentals, it's pretty much structured in a widely conventional Japanese pop song format, where the chrous is repeated in the same way a YOASOBI song does their chrous).
There's curiosity, sadness, encouragement, hopefulness, unfamiliarity, comfort, enrangement, desperation, ruination, happiness, and much much more, each melody represents different types of emotions, and as it goes from one to the other it makes it so that everything you've experienced so far are lingered in your brain, and by the end of it it makes you wonder: a human can experience this many emotions?
People who likes this are capable of taking a wide variety of emotions at once, and people who don't like this either doesn't care about music or they aren't capable of witnessing such a masterpiece.
This is the second time I've geniunely cried listening to music, the first time is with the EmpErroR.
