Fantasy Old StreetAsa

Gensou Rojie stands out for its cool, live-performance energy and power.
Its composer, Asa, is a musician also known as the bassist for Wagakki Band, a group that performs rock using traditional Japanese instruments.
Since 2012, he has also been active solo as a Vocaloid producer, and his tracks are characterized by high quality befitting a musician well-versed in band sounds.
Gensou Rojie is also memorable for its lyrics, sprinkled with a deliberately jumbled sense of the seasons, so be sure to immerse yourself in its unique world!
KABUKIjohn

It might be a new-generation, Japanese-style Vocaloid track.
The song is by John, who also works under the music project name TOOBOE, and it was released in 2021.
You’re drawn in by the quintessential “this is John” sound: a breezy beat intertwined with snappy synths, guitar, and bass.
It’s a stock phrase, but it fits so perfectly that I have to say it—it’s insanely stylish.
You can’t help but admire this high-sense musicality.
And the title “KABUKI” neatly distills the meaning of the lyrics, which say, “Even when things are tough, let’s keep living on somehow—even if we have to put on a brave front.”
Minazuki (the traditional Japanese name for the sixth month)Winter Pavilion

This is a work by Fuyukan that feels as if the very atmosphere of early summer has been turned into sound.
Kagamine Len’s heartrending vocals and the Japanese-style arrangement are a perfect match.
The song portrays a bittersweet longing for a season that has passed, and the quiet, helpless feelings of thinking about someone precious who is no longer here.
The melody line that sparks the imagination is outstanding.
Why not take some time alone after the rain to fully immerse yourself in its world?

Goka (Conflagration) unfolds a story set in a glossy nocturnal world.
Created in 2023 by Nejishiki, a Vocaloid producer known for narrative-driven tracks, it depicts scenes of someone searching for answers in the night city, singing of a brave figure who stands up to face the future again and again, no matter how things end.
MEIKO’s brilliant vocals shine over a passionate band performance that incorporates traditional Japanese instruments.
It’s a fast-paced rock number where lyrics brimming with searing emotion perfectly match the rock sound.
Clinging to the moonflower.Rupar P

A song for those nights when your chest tightens with longing for someone you can’t see, no matter how much you wish to.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Ruper-P, known for hits like “Intoxicated by Camellias,” released in 2022.
The song is themed around a courtesan from Yoshiwara, and the lyrics, which lay bare her growing feelings, are so evocative that you can’t help but empathize.
The relaxed yet grand musical style is surely another reason why.
You can’t help but wish, “May a moment of happiness someday find this protagonist.”
Nadeshiko-colored HeartYurii Canon

It’s a Japanese-style Vocaloid track packed with a powerful message: “Charge straight toward your dreams.” Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Yuri Kanon, who also runs the music project Tsukuyomi, it was released in 2017.
Centered on a four-on-the-floor beat, this mixture rock number is dense with sound yet tightly arranged—a testament to Yuri Kanon’s skill.
It’s a piece I especially want teenagers to hear.
If you’re feeling anxious about the future, this song will blow those worries away!
