No abnormalities in the cherry blossom frontWataru P
While its timbre and other elements are distinctly Japanese in style, the sleek, unfolding development evokes an edgy rock tune.
This is a signature track by Vocaloid producer Wataru-P, released in 2010.
It’s a high-class work that weaves dynamic rhythms with Japanese-flavored synths and piano phrases.
Its affinity with Hatsune Miku’s somewhat mature singing voice is outstanding.
If you like cool, Japanese-style numbers, this will hit home.
The lyrics—“Let’s keep moving forward, even if just a little at a time”—set the heart ablaze!
Nanaraku-rakunaraku
A Japanese-style song distinguished by its wavering vocal work.
Vocaloid producer naraku’s “Nanaraku Raku” was released in October 2023.
It sings of bittersweet, heartrending feelings for a precious person one can never forget.
Rather than feverish passion or guileless purity, it leans more toward an ennui-laden atmosphere.
It feels as if the protagonist’s emotions slowly seep into your heart.
The soft, composed singing voice is also wonderful.
You might even discover a new charm in Kasane Teto.
Mad Bloomconfusing well
KAITO fans, be sure to check this out! “Kyoka,” a song by Vocaloid producer Waku’i, released in 2022.
It’s a shadowy piece whose calm vocals and piano tones linger in your ears.
The lyrics trace the protagonist’s love and jealousy, and the yandere-tinged worldview is disconcerting—you find yourself listening on out of a morbid curiosity, wondering what’s going to happen next.
The arrangement, which holds a latent intensity, feels like it mirrors the protagonist’s shifting emotions.
Turn up the volume and enjoy!
Heavenly FoxMarasy
An epic Vocaloid track that blends a sense of speed with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere! Created by marasy, who is also active as a pianist, it was released in 2012.
The energetic rock sound pairs perfectly with Kagamine Rin’s crisp vocals.
The song’s style also aligns beautifully with the myth-like world of the lyrics.
Just reading the lyrics, themed around a comet tearing through the night sky, makes you want to drift into thoughts of a distant era.
TagHaruno
This is a track Haruno released as a Vocaloid producer for the first time in about seven years.
Released in June 2025, the song deepens a downbeat yet beautiful worldview with a touch of fantasy.
Interweaving Luo Tianyi’s resonant vocals with oriental sounds, it creates a uniquely weightless atmosphere.
The lyrics, themed around a game of tag in the dark, depict a heart being overtaken by an irresistible pull, as if you’re reading a mysterious story.
How about getting lost in this bewitching world that draws you in?
night festivalparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)
The grand prize winner of the 3rd VocaColle × Mahou no i-Land Novel Contest is “Yomatsuri.” This song was newly written by Teniwoha, inspired by the original novel.
Set to sounds reminiscent of festival music, it captures the pounding excitement of the protagonist participating in the festivities.
Another appeal of the piece is the dramatic shift in atmosphere in the latter half.
While retaining a Japanese flair, it takes on a jazzy feel.
Keep that linkage with the song’s story in mind as you listen.
Gold Under Heavensekikomi-gohan (ceremonial red rice dish; also called sekihan)
This is a grand, Japanese-style piece whose shakuhachi and string tones stir the soul.
Composed by Vocaloid producer Sekikomi Gohan, it was released in January 2023 and included on the compilation album “Osechi LP.” Its powerful message—“Seize the world!”—really pushes you forward! According to the video description, the song seems intended as encouragement for those taking university entrance exams.
