"Cybernetic Melancholia - 電脳メランコリア" is the fifth album by OKURUTO, an experimental Japanese electronic artist known for blending J-pop, chiptune, vaporwave, anime aesthetics, lo-fi, and retrowave into immersive soundscapes.

This concept album tells the tragic yet beautiful story of Shizuka, a sentient android who awakens to self-awareness, only to realize that she is an anomaly—a ghost in the machine. Hunted by the system, she must erase her most cherished memories, escape relentless cybernetic enforcers, and ultimately face oblivion. Each track unfolds like an anime episode, taking listeners on a journey through bittersweet nostalgia, high-energy digital chaos, and haunting electronic dreamscapes.

Through glitchy synth textures, distorted vocal fragments, melancholic melodies, and cinematic 80s-inspired arpeggios, "Cybernetic Melancholia" captures the fleeting beauty of a digital soul on the verge of deletion. The album oscillates between ethereal lo-fi ballads, pulsating cyberpunk techno, and euphoric synthpop climaxes, delivering an emotional narrative that lingers long after the music fades.

For fans of Yasutaka Nakata, Porter Robinson, Mitch Murder, and cyberpunk anime soundtracks, "Cybernetic Melancholia - 電脳メランコリア" is an introspective, futuristic odyssey exploring memory, existence, and the fragile connection between human and machine.

Zettai akera menai (ぜったいあけらめない) - I will definitely, absolutely, not give up.

Voltaroxx is the sound of forgotten futures, midnight circuits, and dust-covered dreams rendered in rhythm and noise. Born from the flicker of CRT screens and raised on a steady infusion of cyberpunk cinema, glitchy game consoles, and VHS fuzz, he builds music that’s less about genre and more about atmosphere—audio collages from the back alleys of the imagination.

Growing up, Voltaroxx was glued to the glow of Blade Runner, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and obscure sci-fi anime taped over Saturday morning cartoons. The worlds were bleak but beautiful, eerie but electric. At the same time, he was living inside the soundchips of machines like the ZX Spectrum, NES, and Mega Drive—systems that hummed, beeped, and crackled with strange life. Those early sounds never left; they just evolved.

His music doesn’t follow rules or trends. One moment it's dusty lo-fi techno, the next it’s eerie ambient, then suddenly it's chaotic 160 BPM jungle with warped pads and broken memories. Tracks like VizzerLine show just how deep the time capsule goes—an atmospheric 90s jungle homage that blends ghosted-out pads with rolling breaks and a dreamlike energy..

Voltaroxx doesn’t believe in “sticking to one style.” He follows moods, fragments, old files, and the static of ideas half-remembered from forgotten arcade cabinets or the background hum of a tube TV. Some days it’s electro with a sci-fi edge. Other days, it’s decayed ambient or synth-heavy jams with melodies that loop like a corrupted memory card.

He never really thought anyone would listen. These tracks were, and still are, made mostly for himself—just an outlet, a way to exorcise digital ghosts. So when people started listening, following, commenting—it was surreal. It still is. Every play, every follow means a lot. No PR machine. No hype. Just raw sound from a bedroom somewhere, echoing into the void and somehow landing in your headphones.

Thank you for tuning in. Really.

Men brave and generous live the best lives, seldom will they sorrow; then there are fools, afraid of everything, who grumble instead of giving.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
