Yoshiwara LamentAsa78rank/position

[Kasane Teto] Yoshiwara Lament [Original]

Set in Edo-period Yoshiwara and told from the perspective of a courtesan, it captivates with a wistful yet sensuous worldview.

With a distinctive narrative style that uses kuruwa-kotoba (brothel slang), it sings of true feelings wavering within the fiction of a make-believe romance, and of nightscapes drenched in rain.

The melody fuses traditional Japanese timbres with rock, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and new.

Released by Asa in 2012, the song entered the Hall of Fame within a week of its posting and went on to be adapted into a novel and even a kabuki piece.

In 2023, it was remade with the Kasane Teto SV voicebank, delivering an evolved expression after eleven years.

It’s a perfect choice for karaoke, letting you immerse yourself in its world and pour in your emotions.

Candy Cookie Chocolate 🍭🍪🍫 Hatsune Miku · Kasane Teto SV

An addictively catchy pop number that sticks in your head from the very first listen.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Harokeru, released in December 2024.

The vocals feature Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto, whose rhythmic back-and-forth is irresistibly cute.

However, beneath the charming sound lies a sharp message in the lyrics, calling out the trend of judging the essence of things by appearances alone.

This very contrast is the work’s true appeal.

Sing it as a duet to enjoy both the poppy fun and the lyrical depth!

The sound arrangement incorporates elements of funk music, giving it an infectious, feel-good groove.

The chorus packs a punch that makes your shoulders sway without you noticing.

The lyrics hint at an extraordinary relationship between the two characters, creating a narrative that invites interpretation.

Give it a listen when you’re in the mood for buoyant low-end tones.

Picon – Playback ft. Hatsune Miku

The delicate sound arrangement creates a melancholic atmosphere, and the deep emotional expression themed around memories and regrets of the past is striking.

Released in September 2021, this piece was written specifically for the unit “25-ji, Nightcord de.” featured in the mobile game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat.

Hatsune Miku.

Its beautiful melody line, carried along at a calm tempo, is perfect for nighttime relaxation or moments when you want to rest your mind.

Highly recommended for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the music.

Ah, the wonderful nyan lifeNem82rank/position

Nem – Ah, It’s a Wonderful Cat Life ft. GUMI & Kagamine Len / Ah, A Wonderful Cat Life ft. GUMI & Kagamine Len

A curiosity for freedom and happiness, told from a cat’s point of view, tickles the heart.

Released by Nem in June 2011, this song is included on the album Gliese.

The lives portrayed from both a stray cat’s and a house cat’s perspectives are fascinating! The playful banter between the free-spirited stray and the elegant house cat is captivating, and it feels like it could resonate with the daily worries and joys of high school students.

Especially when your mind is full of thoughts about love, friendship, or the future, give this song a listen.

The cats’ sense of adventure and their longing for comfort are sure to strike a chord with you.

Lonely EnvyDenpol-P83rank/position

Lonely Envy - Acoustic Solo (Rikako)

It’s a song characterized by the rhythm section and the tense guitar lines riding on top, but if you match your strumming to the original, you can get a similar feel even with just an acoustic guitar—so try playing with that in mind.

There aren’t any particularly difficult chords overall, but chords like D/F#, which requires gripping the neck and fretting the 6th string with your thumb, and B7, which you need to fret with all four fingers standing, appear here and there.

If you’re not used to changing chords, practice slowly until you can fret them cleanly.

Since the tempo isn’t that fast, it’s a recommended number for beginners as well.

Vocalo ColosseumDIVELA84rank/position

VOCALOID Colosseum / DIVELA feat. Kagamine Rin

You get the sense of a heavy mass of sound closing in as you listen.

It’s a track by DIVELA, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Disaster Tune,” released in 2018.

The song’s dark worldview is captivating, with powerful sound and a distinctive melodic line that stands out.

The chorus in particular makes you want to sing along.

Rin Kagamine’s voice has a mechanical feel, likely tailored to match the tone of the song.

I can confidently recommend it as an incredibly cool Vocaloid track.
