frequency: The Goblin Cover-Up

Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about frequency, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day frequency was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.
