So, in the last post, I went over how Kasane Teto's roots play into her fandom identity:

We have a narrative, being synthesized here. Even within a world where vocaloids are people and not just collections of sound, Teto is a "fake," a "lie." Perhaps, by extention, a liar herself. She is an underdog, abandoned by the bulk of her cruel creators, who found her voice and now dreams of becoming a real Vocaloid, a big-time idol, just like the girl she was originally made as a mockery of. She's the little guy, she's a trickster. she's a big fucking shitpost and living meme. She is... the internet's home-born idol.

Even though Teto is now a commercial voice bank, with a corresponding character design that sheds the vestiges of her Faux-caloid nature, these elements continue to, I think, play a role in what kind of songs get written for her, and how she's portrayed in music videos for these songs.

Each of the above images links to a version of its respective song, with official subtitles where possible, or fansubbed reprints if no official subs exist. I think these songs function as decent examples of trends in post-SynthV music composed for Kasane Teto.
