Tea Timescotton leveling
This song vividly captures the anxiety of a student racing against a thesis deadline.
Released by Wata Narashi in September 2024, it’s a Vocaloid track featuring the charming, childlike voices of Kotonoha Akane and Kotonoha Aoi.
With brisk pacing and sharp sound design, it skillfully conveys the feeling of needing to hurry but being unable to move forward.
It’s pop, yet tinged with a certain nostalgia.
The music video, which incorporates live-action footage, only adds to its addictive appeal.
Haven’t you had a similar experience? It’s a track I especially recommend to people in their twenties leading busy lives.
trend-chaserChinozo
The song drawing attention with its impactful chorus is “Miihaa.” It’s a work by Chinozo, who has produced many big hits.
This piece portrays the loneliness and inner conflict of a protagonist who can’t fit in with those around them.
As you listen, pay attention to the difference between the title phrase and the word “miha” (meaning a trend-chaser).
Since there are many spots that rhyme with the same sounds, it might be nice to watch the music video while listening.
Also, listen closely to the piano tone, which expresses the protagonist’s chaotic inner world.
The Most Formidable HeroDIVELA
A hero swings his sword, cuts down monsters, and takes their lives… This song throws a stone at that so-called “obvious” norm.
Composed by DIVELA, a Vocaloid producer known as the creator of “Vocalo Colosseum” and “Desertune,” it was released in August 2023 and participated in the TOP 100 ranking of VocaColle 2023 Summer.
It starts with a hard-rock guitar riff that’s instantly cool, then settles into a calm first verse, building excitement toward the chorus in an irresistible progression.
Be sure to listen while paying attention to the cynically charged message woven into the lyrics.
Pekingese-like sneezePeg
It’s a rhythmic, stylish, and fiercely passionate Vocaloid track that radiates a strong determination to “someday make them eat their words.” It’s a song by Peg, the Vocaloid producer known for “When Night Falls, Geng Shiba” and “If Possible, I’d Like to Become Your Familiar,” released in August 2023.
It also participated in the TOP 100 ranking of VocaColle 2023 Summer.
One of its charms is the somewhat shadowy, Japanese-inspired tone.
It feels like the protagonist’s negative emotions are reflected in the sound.
Still, I imagine many people can relate to its message.
creationRed
RED, a Vocaloid producer who debuted in 2021.
The work that shot his name to prominence was “Creation,” which ranked 10th in the Rookie Ranking at VocaColle 2022 Autumn.
The piece is composed of two major melodies: in the first half, a quiet melody conveys the vulnerable parts of the heart, while in the second half, the key shifts to an up-tempo melody that portrays overcoming that weakness.
Also noteworthy are the emotionally expressive vocals and his one-of-a-kind word choices that interweave English.

Humugaburyu
Gaburyu, who posts music on platforms like YouTube, has released a track that’s garnered a lot of attention: “Umo.” It blends a contemporary melody with a whispering vocal using IA, resulting in a soothing piece.
As you keep listening, lulled by its soft atmosphere, an unexpected twist in the story awaits—and at the same time, the meaning of the title “Umo” becomes clear.
First, give it a listen without spoilers.
Catchy !?r-906
It’s a highly sophisticated piece that gives the impression of “refined music.” The track is by r-906, a well-known Vocaloid producer famous for the hit “Manimani,” and it was released in March 2023.
It was submitted to VocaColle Spring 2023 and ranked 6th in the TOP 100.
The drum’n’bass sound with a pared-down palette of tones is almost too stylish.
It’s crafted so well your body starts keeping time on its own.
It really reaffirms how well slapped bass pairs with a four-on-the-floor beat.
The vocal work, tuned to make the Japanese lyrics sound like English, is also outstanding.
