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

If only I could become someone's heartYurii Canon

If I Could Become Someone’s Heart / YurryCanon feat. GUMI

It opens in a fairly high register that draws listeners in right away.

The singing style is distinctive, with the voice flipping into falsetto here and there, which leaves an impression.

As the title suggests, it deals with a somewhat heavy theme, but the overall feel is relatively bright and the tempo is good, so it doesn’t come across as heavy.

Unlike fast-tempo Vocaloid tracks, it features various shifts in pace, which I think enhances its stylishness.

Delusion, Sentiment, Compensation LeagueDECO*27

DECO*27 – Delusion Sentiment Compensation Alliance feat. Hatsune Miku

A classic by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who needs no introduction.

Just when you think the band sound will keep pushing hard, in come emotive synths—the arrangement is remarkably delicate.

And the title “Mousou Kanshou Daishou Renmei” is stylish to begin with.

Listening to the snappy, noun-linked chorus makes you want to sing along.

Although it’s a love song, it never gets overly sentimental; that overall sense of balance is stylish in itself.

Of course, the wordplay is top-tier too—like the way it avoids saying “carbon dioxide” outright… as expected of DECO*27.

Hated by life.Iori Kanzaki

Hated by Life Itself / Hatsune Miku

A song that lays bare decadent, backward-looking feelings.

The grandeur and beauty of the chorus are outstanding.

While it contains many negative expressions, there’s somehow a sense of anticipation, a glimpse of positivity, peeking through.

You could call it an emotional Vocaloid song.

Higanjhon

Higan / Hatsune Miku

A swaying, eerie beeping sound lingers in your ears.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer john, whose mysterious musicality feels catchy yet refreshingly new, released in 2020.

Each crisp sound seems to leap straight into your brain.

Before you know it, you’re pulled into john’s unique world.

The lyrics weave a message of love that can be read as devoted—or selfish—carrying a sense of danger.

Still, I imagine many people can relate.

Organic Acid/ewe "Kafune" feat. flower & Hatsune Miku MV

Anyway, it’s an incredibly stylish track.

The lyrics feel like they were born from aimlessly wandering through the city at dusk, and the scenes come across vividly to us listeners.

I especially want people who rarely listen to rap—or even find it hard to enjoy—to give it a try.

It has a gentle atmosphere, like softening bitter coffee with a touch of milk.

It’s calming to listen to.

Fool DebateShishi Shishi

Foolishness Controversy / Hatsune Miku

“Utsuke Ronsou,” composed by Vocaloid producer Shishi Shishi.

Apparently it’s their fifth work, and I was amazed that the quality is this high for a fifth release.

First off, the blend of piano and band sounds is incredibly stylish.

It made me want to see it performed live as a band.

Anyway, give it a listen.

Red PurgeP.I.N.A.

Red Purge!!! / Reol Cover

This song has a unique worldview.

While it carries a distinctly Vocaloid-style aesthetic, it also features many clever touches that make you think, “This is stylish.” The lyrics have a sharp edge woven into a rhythmic track, and the melody exudes a mysterious atmosphere.

As the lyrics and melody merge, they create a refined and stylish piece of music.
