Doesn’t the phrase “you have a duty to be happy” feel a bit off? This is a Vocaloid song set in an imagined utopia, featuring a uniquely crafted worldview.
Created by Utata-P and released in July 2012, it drew a major response.
Over an electronic melody, Hatsune Miku’s voice resonates.

It was released in May 2013.
The lyrics celebrate hope and challenge, paired with an energetic sound.
Included on the album “Mekakucity Days,” it reached No.

Qiu & KageNEW!Peanut
Conflicting concepts—math problems and life’s questions, faith and dependence, frenzy and nihilism—come rushing in atop a high-speed beat.
It’s a track featuring Kasane Teto by Piinata, released in December 2025.
The tightly punched kick and snare, together with a distorted synth bass, create a sound that’s aggressive yet somehow pop-leaning and easy on the ears.
The lyrics juxtapose the sensation of chest pain without any specific diagnosis with words that label oneself as “junk,” despite having emotions.
If you’re carrying a haze that defies rational explanation, this song might hit home.
TomedonaiNEW!Ozone
A rock number that detonates the feeling of a brain-crash impulse and an unstoppable thought loop.
Created by Vocaloid producer Ozone and featuring Kasane Teto, this track was released in October 2025 as part of the album “In:Side.” The arrangement is addictive, blending EDM-style build-ups with the rawness of a live band sound.
And the lyric’s question—“What lies beyond these meaningless days?”—overlaps with Teto’s uniquely husky, resolute voice, piercing the listener’s heart.
When you’re carrying feelings with nowhere to go, give it a listen.
Donut holeBee
This work delivers a profound message set to a catchy melody.
Released in October 2013 as a Vocaloid track by Hachi, also known as Kenshi Yonezu, it features striking lyrics that compare gaps in memory to a donut hole, evoking a poignant longing for something precious that has been lost.
In 2014, Yonezu himself included a self-cover version on his album “YANKEE.” It’s a song I highly recommend not only to Vocaloid fans, but also to people in their twenties who have experienced heartbreak or parting.
Its memorable lyrics and melody are sure to resonate.
Love Trial40mP
A humor-packed Vocaloid song themed around cheating.
It’s a work by 40mP, a Vocaloid producer who’s remained at the forefront of the scene, released in 2014.
The bright tones of the horn section feel great, and the refreshing band sound is a big draw.
It seems to pair really well with Miku’s solid vocals.
And of course, the highlight of this song is the lyrics! As the cheating lover is put on trial, the ending… delivers a twist that’ll make you grin.
Lonely Envykoyori
Also known by the name Denpol-P, Koyori released a song that reached the Hall of Fame in less than a week: “Hitorinbo Envy.” The word “envy” in the title means jealousy.
In the song, the protagonist envies people who seem to be having fun and sings about the loneliness he carries.
In contrast to these heavy themes, the melody has a gentle feel, and the vocals convey a languid mood—that’s a key point.
Another appeal is the heartwarming feeling at the very end of the track.
