Draw is the final album of the group Draw the Emotional, released on 30 December 2018 at Comiket 95, and is a concept album produced by Yuyoyuppe, sung by Megurine Luka, and illustrated by meola. The album is considered to be of the group's greatest works[by whom?][me] and among the best of the Vocaloid scene[1]. The concept centers around the painter Reon and his creation Leia[verification needed], calling back to and remastering the tracks Leia and Reon from past Draw the Emotional albums Planetary S██████ and Story of Hope respectively, with the album closing on an emotional orchestral arrangement of Palette, the opening track of their first album Solitude freak.
Draw was released under the catalog number 'DRAW-0001', distinct from the 'YYYP' prefix on prior albums. While both their final album and also first published as their group name, their final release was the event-exclusive song "The Blood" distributed via download card at Comiket 96 the following April. Since then, Yuyoyuppe has continued to work both independently and as a producer for Babymetal, and meola has partially pivoted from being an illustrator towards using generative AI, and the two have not collaborated since. In 2023, Yuyoyuppe was entrusted with a voicebank demo EP for Natsuki Karin.
