Lovely Vocaloid

[Nostalgic] A Collection of Early Masterpieces from the Vocaloid Scene

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Sparked by the debut of Hatsune Miku in 2007, the Vocaloid scene has continued to grow, especially online.

I bet many of you have that one memorable song or work that comes to mind.

Now, what we’re about to introduce are a number of classic tracks that colored the very early days of the scene.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that many of these songs are where Vocaloid culture truly began!

It’s perfect for both a nostalgic listen and for studying the history of Vocaloid.

Be sure to stick around to the end!

Dreaming Little BirdHayaya P

Dreaming Little Bird (feat. Kagamine Rin & Hatsune Miku)

Dreaming Bird is Yaya-P

“Hayaya-P,” who delivers songs that match illustrations drawn with his unique touch, created “Yumemiru Kotori” in 2008.

It features overlapping choral work by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin, and the song matches a sound imbued with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.

The lyrics are filled with charm, evoking nostalgic scenes and conveying the beauty of the Japanese language.

It’s a Vocaloid track where their girlish voices resonate alongside a somewhat wistful, beautiful melody.

Please lend an ear to the gently heart-warming lyrics and melody.

In conclusion

We mainly introduced works from around 2007 to 2009.

That said, some of these songs are still being chosen for recent “tried singing” videos.

In other words, many staple tracks had already been born by then.

If you have a song that’s special to you, please let us know via the contact form! We’ll add it as we go.
