DÉ DÉ MOUSE released the VOCALOID song "Beelzebub no Gretel" on July 15, 2026. The track is a dark fairy tale adaptation of Hansel and Gretel, serving as a sequel to his earlier song "Yugami Odoru" based on Andersen's The Red Shoes. The music video was created by the artist using collaged images and his own illustrations. DÉ DÉ MOUSE is known for his "melody cut-up" technique and has been active in VOCALOID production since 2025.
The song "Beelzebub no Gretel" is the second in a series of fairy tale-themed VOCALOID releases from DÉ DÉ MOUSE, following "Yugami Odoru" from earlier this month. The track opens with the sound of a fly's wings, building into a minimal chord structure with rough tabla, cracked sub-bass, and Hatsune Miku's inorganic voice. A music video, assembled from collaged images and the artist's own illustrations, accompanies the release. DÉ DÉ MOUSE, the solo project of Daisuke Endo, debuted in 2007 and is known for his "melody cut-up" technique. He launched the VOCALOID project "Hidoine" in January 2025 and has since released several VOCALOID collaborations.
