FLOP ERA is a vocaloid song published on September 21st, 2025 at 7:09PM. As of writing (September 24th), it has currently amassed 218k views in the 3 days it has been active, making it by far the most popular ePiaeon song to date, along with one of the very few original Akita Neru songs in recent history. As Akita Neru has no official voicebank of her own, ePiaeon and many others use a higher pitched Hatsune Miku to portray her.
In the song, Akita Neru is a small-time internet influencer, attempting to amass fame by riding trends. Unfortunately, this does not gain her much success and the majority of the song is spent with her revelling in the fleeting attention along with mourning the fact it cannot be kept for longer. The song can be said of a critique of modern influencers, and how many are too focused on gaining popularity instead of focusing on what they enjoy doing, as Akita Neru is most certainly not happy in this song.
As stated on the producers twitter, there are multiple motifs and references throughout the song: That being to Triple Baka, Mesmerizer and Stop Nagging Me!! Three of Akita Neru's most noteable hits, aswell of course referencing former ePiaeon songs and popular Vocaloid songs at the time, such as Cadmium Colors by Jamie Paige.

They say my fame is silent, because it depends
On being so reliant, on following trends (Give me love)
Today, my ads are rising, I'll chase this fad, surprising?
Perfectly portioned for my loving fanbase
Still implying my channel is dead?
You’re all the same, you're lying, get on with the thread (Not enough)
The algorithm's smiling, comparing posts, subscribing!
My worth is measured by the likes I’m counting
My competition's thriving, collabing and defining!
But aren't you tired of the same old faces?
Well, I can give you the solution to staleness
Just watch me and you'll see
I'm sobbing, I'm falling off, it's not enough
Look, I'm burning, I’m yearning, but can I call it love?
My views are dropping, so, follow me, I’m out of luck
Don't you dare look away, when I can be your idol?
Behold my rise to fame, awards and accolades
I’ll put them on a frame, the world will know my name
You think this song is plain? You think it's slop? It's lame?
'Cause I’m a flopping shame? "But I don't feel the same?"
Will you remember my voice if I can cut through the noise?
Forget the comments, not a word
Think you love it? That's absurd
What good is art with a less than perfect score?
I try to believe that I'll prove myself to all of you
Stuck in a loop of self-improvement
'Cause when you pay the price of selling pain for likes
Your worth is measured by the next achievement!
My channel's always dying, engagement is declining!
Just tell me, how to meet your expectations?
I can be more than just a pale imitation
Just watch me and you'll see!
I'm sorry, I'm falling off, it's not enough
Undeserving, I'm hurting, I knew it all along
You're always watching me, commenting "I love your songs!"
I can laugh off the pain if I can just get viral
I'm sobbing, I'm falling off, it's not enough
Look, I'm burning, I'm yearning, but can I call it love?
My views are dropping, so, follow me, I'm out of luck
Don't you dare look away, when I can be your idol?

You think this song is plain? You think it's slop? It's lame?
'Cause I'm a flopping shame? "But I don't feel the same?"
You know I'm such a pain
I've no one else to blame and nothing left to say!

ok this is my reasoning for loving this fuckin song to death enough to make a whole shrine about it. i have alot of vocaloid song shrines planned but this is a very recent song and i said i would on tiwtter when the video stems were released... soooo! big congrats to epiaeon i always knew u would make it big ever since i heard dial loop i knew.. I knew... not my first time making a html/css around their work either its just too good... anyways enough glazing. i have been a small time infamous artist in amany fandoms hopping from trend to trend so i fuckin get it i getttt it i get being a trendhopper fame obsessed mf and let me tell u it does make u happy for juuuust a bit. i get you akita neru never die. also is the font readable? like genuinely is it i cant tell if its not plz inbox me somewhere and ill remove it/ replace it because i can read it but i dont know if others can. support the official release even though i got it for free before epiaeon (rightfully so) made it 9 dollars. plz go purchase it.
