Voidroidr-906

r-906 – Voidroid (ft. Haru, Miku, Una)

This is a sharpened Vocaloid track where a tense tone and a speedy melody line fit together perfectly.

“Voidroid” by r-906 was released in August 2023.

It’s an electric tune that combines sophisticated beat-making with deep, expansive synth sounds—so captivating you’ll want to keep it on repeat.

It feels like “the sounds you want arrive exactly where you want them.” The lyrics revolve around the theme of “words,” and there’s a part that metaphorically references Twitter changing to X.

I encourage you to dig into its message and interpretation.

Warning timeyou-man

Warning Time / GUMI

Let me introduce “Warning Time,” a song that sticks in your head after just one listen.

Created by Vocaloid producer you-man for the anonymous submission event “Mushokutomeisai II,” this track has two major features: a sound built on a steady, repeating rhythm, and vocals that repeat the same notes.

That distinctive rhythm is highly addictive—likely a key reason it’s gone viral.

By the way, this release is the so-called Short version, which really makes you want to hear the full version soon.

There aren’t even any agonizing fans./No one’s even a tormented fan.Mochiutsune

Mumbling Fans Aren’t Here Either / Hatsune Miku – Mochiutsune

It’s a cute piece of electric music with a mysterious, Chinese-inspired atmosphere.

Created by Vocaloid producer Mochiutsune, whose name became even more well-known with the hit “Take Your Medicine and Go to Sleep,” it was released in March 2023.

It ranked third in the Rookie Rankings at VocaColle 2023 Spring and drew a lot of attention.

The unique, phonetically pleasing word choices are very characteristic of Mochiutsune.

I think it will especially resonate with fans of subculture and the internet-native generation.

Hyper-substitution / feat.flower

An overwhelmingly high-sense electronic number that astonishes in both the track and the music video.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Aneiro, known for a uniquely individual musical approach, released in July 2024.

First and foremost, the lyric structure is stunning: it keeps rhyming from start to finish, embodying the title “Hyper-substitution.” On top of that, the MV by melonade, which perfectly visualizes it, is absolutely insane.

With its multifaceted appeal, this track might well be considered a work of contemporary art.

"Go back, go back, modore, modore." / American Folk Song Research Society

“Return, Return, Return, Return,” produced in 2023 by the American Folk Song Research Society, which delivers message-driven music to listeners.

The sound, composed of spoken-word poetry reading of original verses and vocal parts by Chifuyu Hanakuma, creates a distinctive world of its own.

Phrases unfold one after another as if speaking to a precious person who is no longer by one’s side.

Set to electronica-based beats, their mechanical vocals evoke a sense of wistfulness and loneliness.

It’s a Vocaloid track where a dreamlike atmosphere blends with unique vocal stylings.

Stockholm WaltzImanishi

Imanishi “Stockholm Waltz” feat. yuki

Imanishi, a Vocaloid producer known for delivering songs with an urban vibe, created “Stockholm Waltz” in 2023.

The track unfolds with literary lyrics that carry the charm of a short story.

It portrays a scene of bidding farewell to days spent with someone once loved, capturing the anxiety that creeps in and the way their image keeps surfacing in one’s mind.

The animated music video, featuring dancing alone in a room, is also a highlight.

With rhythmic piano tones and a weighty bassline, the girlish voice of Utaai Yuki is etched into the arrangement, resonating poignantly in this Vocaloid piece.

Generations upon generations; an unending stream (of people or things) coming one after another.Carlos Hakamada

Rui-Rui Rai-Rai / Carlos Hakamada (SaizeP) ft. HARU / – Carlos Hakamada (SaizeP) ft. HARU / RUI-RUI-RAI-RAI

“Ruirui Rairai,” produced in 2023 by Vocaloid producer Carlos Hakamada, who delivers playfully humorous tracks to listeners.

The song captures the thrill of visiting a classic Chinese diner, singing about the joy of savoring various dishes and finding happiness in every bite.

Its band sound—driven by rhythmic cutting and a passionate guitar solo that showcases technical performance—conveys a lively, uplifting mood.

With Harui’s rap parts woven in, it’s a high-energy rock number featuring free-spirited, versatile vocals.
