"Kyu-Kurarin" (Japanese: きゅうくらりん; styled as Kyu-kurarin) is a song by Japanese Vocaloid producer Iyowa. The song was first released on YouTube and Nico Nico Douga on August 29, 2021, and released as a single on September 4, 2021. On December 22, it was included in the album Watashi no Heritage .
The vocals for the song are by Kafu of CeVIO, and the composition contains experimental sounds, described as "chaotic" despite its "simple" and "powerful" chord progression and "pop" and "catchy" melody. Iyowa also wrote the lyrics and created the illustrations for the music video. The lyrics, whose main theme is described as a broken heart or one-sided love, are alleged to contain a sense of unease with its visual representation. The song is considered one of Iyowa's signature songs, or one of their biggest hits. Several fan works have been inspired by this song, and it is also included in the soundtracks of music games.
