In Kegareboshi , the synchronization is impeccable. When the guitars swell into a distorted crescendo, the animation might switch to a chaotic, high-frame-rate sequence of destruction or emotional outburst. During the quiet, verses, the animation slows down, allowing the viewer to sit in the silence with the character.

— Some Vocaloid or independent musicians have used the phrase "Kegareboshi" in song titles/lyrics, accompanied by paper-style 2D animation (e.g., pencil on paper, cutout, or textured digital paper).
