A collection of stylish Vocaloid songs: The moving world of VOCALOID

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.

There are truly countless songs in the VOCALOID scene, but in this article, I’ve put together a selection of especially stylish tracks.

Of course, “stylish” means different things to different people, so I’ve tried to choose from a wide range of genres without drawing sharp boundaries.

So there should definitely be something in the style you like.

Check them all out to the end and find the number that moves your heart.

Akisame / Hatsune Miku

Aki-same, the rain's guardian

The gentle autumn rain seems to carry a sentimental mood.

This song by Vocaloid producer Amenosuke was released in September 2020.

Hatsune Miku’s delicate vocals ride over a cool, rock-tinged sound.

The lyrics convey a bittersweet yet warm feeling, reminiscing about days gone by on a rainy autumn day.

The stylish chord progressions beautifully balance melancholy and freshness.

Perfect for those moments when the change of seasons leaves you feeling a little lonely.

Nia / Takaaki Natsushiro MV

Near Natsushiro Takaaki

This is a song used in the TV anime Yowamushi Pedal.

It’s incredibly fresh and poppy, so anyone can enjoy it regardless of age.

You’ll be drawn in by the depth of the lyrics, and the melody and lyrics match so well that it’s easy to get emotionally invested.

I can recommend it to both anime fans and Vocaloid fans.

[Hatsune Miku] Shiu [Original]

Shiu MARETU

It stylishly expresses a fairy-tale dark atmosphere using a variety of instruments.

The way it shifts from that recorder-like sound at the beginning to a synth tone felt really fresh and drew me in.

Also, in the middle it suddenly switches to a Japanese Ondo style, but it sounds so natural and cool.

I also like how the song’s dark vibe matches the lyrics.

The Boy and the Magical Robot40mP

[GUMI (40mP)] The Boy and the Magical Robot (Album Edit Ver.) [Original PV]

Boy and the Magical Robot - 40mP

This is the song that became a hot topic when a Vocaloid track was featured for the first time on NHK’s music program “Minna no Uta.” It’s a piece by 40mP, who has been active in the Vocaloid scene for many years.

The lyrics are highly narrative, and if you listen to the end, it’s truly moving.

Please take your time and give it a careful listen.

Let's meet at the aquarium.Satō Noko

Let's meet at the aquarium / Kudzuka Yayone

Let's meet at the aquarium, Noriko Sato.

This is a work by Vocaloid producer Noriko Sato.

It’s included on the EP “WELCOME TO THE INTERNET,” distributed at an event in April 2025.

The song sings about a yearning for slightly risky escapes from the everyday—like searching for UFOs or visiting haunted spots.

Many listeners may find themselves strangely empathizing with the protagonist, who longs to break free from a boring reality and promises to meet in the fantastical setting of an aquarium.

With its floating, airy sound and subtly unsettling lyrical world, it’s a Vocaloid track that becomes addictively memorable.

Mad Diner / Miyamori Bungaku feat. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, KAITO

Mad Diner Miyamori Literature

This is a track by Vocaloid producer Miyamori Bungaku themed around a danceable, madcap dish.

Its whirlwind banquet-world aesthetic packs a punch! Chaotic wordplay inspired by food and madness, along with rousing phrases that hype the listener, blend with groovy sounds to lead audiences into a trance.

The song is included on the EP “Let’s Meet at the mad diner,” releasing in August 2025.

Savor this full-course meal, and you too may become captive to the banquet.

Rum raisin pancakesApuera

Rum Raisin Pancake / apu3ra feat. Hatsune Miku

Rum raisin pancake Apurela

It’s a Vocaloid song with a curious charm: a soft, sweet fragrance seems to drift through it, yet it somehow tightens your chest.

Created by Vocaloid producer Aqu3ra under the name Apuera, it features Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals that feel as if they’re floating between dream and reality.

The lyrics compare sweet memories to desserts, but also express a sense of distance from those memories—“we can no longer touch what happened in the past”—and as you listen, you find yourself wrapped in a gentle sadness.

It’s perfect for nights when you want to quietly reflect on a love that has passed, or when you’d like to surrender your heart to a beautiful melody.
