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.

I think a lot of people start getting interested in music when they enter junior high school! When you watch videos on YouTube and other social media, you come across all kinds of works.

Of course there are official tracks uploaded by musicians, but many people also discover new music through “I tried singing” cover videos.

In this article, we’ll introduce Vocaloid songs recommended for junior high schoolers—perfect for those who’ve started getting interested in Vocaloid! From classics in the Vocaloid scene to tracks that have recently become popular, we’ve got a wide-ranging lineup.

Be sure to read to the end!

It's Magic Tune Kinoshita

Kinoshita, a Vocaloid producer who also creates illustrations to match his music, produced “It’s Magic Tune” in 2023 as a collaboration song between the mobile app Tower of Saviors and Hatsune Miku.

With lyrics that unfold a fantasy story themed around dreams and magic, the song features a lively pop melody that conveys a sense of fun.

Miku’s soaring vocals deliver courage and hope without losing her smile no matter the situation, showcasing her adorable charm.

It’s an uptempo track with a sound that feels like you’ve wandered into a magical world.

Sleep, Cotton Candy Hifumi

Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for many rock-style tracks.

His “Nemure Watagashi” is a song that conveys the feelings of a woman who just can’t fall asleep, set to a Japanese-style sound.

As you listen, the structure gradually reveals why she can’t sleep.

It’s also fun how it incorporates relatable details like “being bothered by the sound of cars driving outside” and “the sky starting to get light outside.” They’re points anyone can relate to and nod along with.

[Hatsune Miku] Betrayed. [JunJun]

Betrayed. Junjun.

“Uragirare” is a song about the sad reality of someone precious disappearing from right before your eyes.

Created in 2023 by Junjun, a Vocaloid producer known for releasing very short tracks around 20 seconds long, it features colorful tones rooted in electronica.

It gives voice to the sorrow and heartache of love that never goes right.

The beat accelerates in step with lyrics that build in emotion from the first verse to the pre-chorus and into the chorus, heightening the sense of poignancy.

It’s a breakup song where a heartrending vocal that conveys feelings beyond words intertwines with driving synths.

Necro-Mance LoveFushi

Necromance Love / Fushi feat. GUMI

Necromance Love Fushi

You’ll be hooked on the aggressive dance-rock sound! “Necromance Love,” a track by Vocaloid producer Fushi, was released in October 2022 and participated in the BokaColle 2022 Autumn TOP100 ranking.

The high-speed arrangement is electrifyingly cool.

The guitar, bass, and drums are all so powerful—it’s irresistible! The song’s tone perfectly matches the lyrics’ sentiment: “It’s because of you that my feelings are running high.” If you’re craving hard-hitting Voca-rock, this is a must-listen!

Human-like / Dancing Hatsune Miku

Human-like silence

I’m drawn to its artistic tone and lyrics that seem to depict the truth.

The song “Ningen Sokkuri” (Human Look-alike) by Vocaloid producer Shijima was released in 2017.

Its refined soundscape showcases Shijima’s strong arranging skills.

The vocal work is distinctive too—despite the noisiness, the words are clearly intelligible, which almost feels a bit mysterious.

If you make music, you might especially wonder, “How are they doing that?” The feelings of a protagonist who wants to become “human”.

It’s not explicitly stated, but it sounds like it could be from Miku’s perspective.
