Sparked by the release of the MEIKO library in 2004, countless masterpieces have continued to be created up to the present day.

In this article, we’ve put together a collection of nostalgic Vocaloid songs that helped shape that scene.
It’s a playlist perfect for diving into memories or discovering something new!

[Memories] A Collection of Nostalgic and Classic Vocaloid Hits (91–100)
KokoroTravolta-P
This piece conjures a grand, expansive world by blending electric sounds with the tones of traditional Japanese instruments.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Toraboruta-P—also known for hits like “Toeto” and “Four-Leaf Clover”—it was released in 2008 and included on compilation albums such as EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalostar feat.
Hatsune Miku.
The story-driven lyrics, centered on a robot with a heart, deliver an achingly poignant finish.
Some listeners may have found themselves in tears the very first time they heard it.
Your body temperatureStag Beetle P
This is a rock number that evokes a bittersweet feeling, adorned with a sleek, slightly glossy piano phrase over a brisk band sound.
It’s a signature work by Vocaloid producer KuwagataP, released in 2009.
The lyrics sing of lingering attachment to a loved one who’s gone, and while the tempo is driving, it feels like it’s expressing an outpouring of emotion.
The result blends coolness with sentimentality.
Though time has passed since its release, it remains one of Vocaloid’s classics and is still frequently chosen for cover performances and “utatte mita” videos.

Garden of AsuraWONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY！
Let me introduce a rock song that retains a traditional Japanese flavor: “Shura no Niwa.” This track was created by Minus Psannga, a member of WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY!, and is the first installment in a four-part series.
While the heavy, deep-bass sound leans Western, the lyrics are crafted in classical Japanese.
This contrast creates a truly one-of-a-kind world.
It’s great as a standalone listen, but you’ll feel the song’s storytelling even more when you experience the series from start to finish.
Sayonara ChainsawTakeaki Wada
From the very first guitar riff, your excitement skyrockets—this is an upbeat, high-energy rock track! Composed by Takeaki Wada, aka Kurage-P, it was released in 2012 and included on the compilation album themed around “weapons,” Shoujo Sensou | ARMS.
There’s just something about that powerful, razor-sharp band sound that sets your heart on fire! Yuzuki Yukari’s strong, centered vocals are another big draw.
It’s a highly addictive Vocaloid song that makes you want to crank the volume, feel the rhythm with your whole body, and just lose yourself in it!
Cowardly Task Force UrotanderShin-P
If you haven’t heard it before, first take a look at the number of comments on the video page.
I have a feeling you can get a sense of the atmosphere at the time it was released just from that figure.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Shin-P, released in 2007.
As the title suggests, it’s the theme song for ‘Hikyou Sentai Urotander,’ and the lyrics convey Urotander’s ‘anything goes as long as we win’ spirit.
That whole surreal vibe really feels like internet culture from back then.
If you listen to it with someone you’ve known for a long time, it might spark some nostalgic stories.
Lunar yokaiKikuo
Kikuo, who is active as a composer, is someone to watch.
Be sure to check out “Moon Yokai,” which he worked on.
When you think of Kikuo, you probably picture a strong horror vibe, right? Even among his works, this one has an especially eerie feel.
The song depicts the yokai mentioned in the title.
It seems the yokai targets a parent and child, and unsettling phrases appear throughout the track.
Since what actually happens isn’t clearly described, it really sparks the imagination.
As if you were by my sideJon
Timeless and deeply resonant, “As If You Were By My Side” is a work by Jon.
Hatsune Miku’s voice rides a nostalgic melody, evoking moments with an old friend and leaving a lingering echo in the heart.
This song blends into the quiet of the night and brings comfort every time you listen.
It feels as if you’ve touched something precious that was once lost, and in the stillness, your heart grows calm.
It’s the perfect track for awakening memories of a distant past.
