C0RRUPTED_YOUTH_V1.0: grief.log
C0RRUPTED_YOUTH_V1.0 is a breakup album for a life lived half online. imAI’s protagonist doesn’t just watch an ex move on — he watches it in versions: new photos, new geotags, a JPEG ghost of someone who used to be real to him.
The track titles read like a crash report — “System_Restore Grief_Log”, “Unfollow, Refresh”, “ARCHIVE ERROR” — and Chiruki’s voice threads through the static like the last human signal in the machine. “LEGACY_MODE” asks the album’s cruelest question: is heartbreak real if it only ever happened onscreen?
Experimental on the surface, deeply human at the core — which is the whole imAI project in one record.
