Human-like / Dancing Hatsune Miku

I’m drawn to its artistic tone and lyrics that seem to depict the truth.

The song “Ningen Sokkuri” (Human Look-alike) by Vocaloid producer Shijima was released in 2017.

Its refined soundscape showcases Shijima’s strong arranging skills.

The vocal work is distinctive too—despite the noisiness, the words are clearly intelligible, which almost feels a bit mysterious.

If you make music, you might especially wonder, “How are they doing that?” The feelings of a protagonist who wants to become “human”.

It’s not explicitly stated, but it sounds like it could be from Miku’s perspective.

Take a bite of cheese! Solid Beats feat. KAFU & Hatsune Miku

A song released by Soriddo Beats in March 2023 has been making waves as a cheering anthem that lifts the spirits of university students overwhelmed by studying.

With its poppy, catchy melody and uniquely playful lyrics, the track stands out.

Through lines like “If you just try for 30 seconds, a miracle will happen,” it conveys the importance of taking that first small step.

Its message—don’t chase perfection; start first—resonates with students who often feel pressured.

With a refreshing rhythm, it gently gives you a push forward.

It’s the perfect track for a break when you’re stuck on studying or assignments.

Fantômasparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)

Fantômas / Teniwoha feat. Kafu

A work by the Vocaloid producer Teniwoha, known for crafting songs with enigmatic wordplay and narrative flair.

Using the gender-neutral voice of the Vocaloid Kafu, it offers a calm impression while exuding a subtly dark atmosphere.

The lyrics, at first listen, carry a suspicious resonance yet are remarkably adept at evoking a range of emotions in the listener.

Perhaps it’s this complexity—felt as both delight and indignation—that will speak to the sensibilities of university students.

Released for streaming in May 2023, the piece stands as one of Teniwoha’s single releases.

Knowing the background enhances one’s appreciation of the lyrical depth.

Now, what story do you sense in this song? Take your time and enjoy it to your heart’s content.

Goodbye, SouvenirToa

Toa – Goodbye Souvenir – ft. Hatsune Miku

I really want you to listen to this when you’re around college age.

Those dolls, stuffed animals, and toys you played with when you were little… I wonder what they think of you now.

They must feel lonely, but they certainly don’t hold a grudge.

They’re thinking, “Thank you for playing with me!” …At least, I hope so.

Just don’t forget them, okay?

The White Snow PrincessNoboru ↑P

White Snow Princess Is – Noboru ↑ feat. Hatsune Miku

This is an exceptionally beautiful piece.

It starts with a slightly mysterious mood in the A section, but gradually takes on a more charming feel.

The chorus has a gorgeous melody that makes you think “Wow, this is it!” the moment you hear it.

The lyrics have a fairytale-like quality and create a lovely atmosphere.

Butterfly on the Right ShoulderNoripi

Kagamine Len Original Song: “Butterfly on the Right Shoulder”

It’s a cool song.

As the lyrics say, even the smallest things can spiral in unexpected ways.

You might think, “That wasn’t my intention!”—but by then it could be too late.

Don’t go overboard and end up doing something even more extreme like in this song—so you won’t regret it.

Merry Bad End / Mafumafu feat. Hatsune Miku

Just like Chiaki Mayumura’s song written for exam takers, Mafumafu’s track also carries a powerful message that gently supports the listener’s heart.

It sharply portrays the complexities of human relationships and the contradictions of society, featuring lyrics and melodies that truly resonate.

Since its release in 2016, it has been full of charm that grips many listeners and won’t let go.

It’s perfect for those stepping into a new environment at university.

Even if you find yourself struggling with friendships or where you fit in, listening to this song might give you the courage to value your true self.
