Arumi Hanagasa also contributes music-related content, such as covers of songs she has sung. Her cover of Yorushika's popular song "Hana ni Bourei(Ghost in a flower)" is one such example, and it was her first video in which she sings.

This cover song is very impressive for its gentle and somewhat sad singing voice, which is different from the cheerful tension shown in her stream. The video received many positive responses from overseas as well, and it was a chance for her to attract the attention of overseas listeners. The fusion of singing and original music video is a must-see.
