[Vocaloid] Easy Band Songs for Beginners [Simple]

The Howling of the Lost OneNeru

Neru – The Wail of the Lost One (Lost One’s Weeping) feat. Kagamine Rin

A song by Neru, a popular Vocaloid producer with over ten videos surpassing one million views.

The band arrangement is cool, reaffirming how well Vocaloid and rock go together.

The signature guitar phrases in the intro and outro will sound closer to the original if you pay attention to eliminating unwanted noise.

The bass and drum parts aren’t particularly difficult, but there are many off-beat rhythms, so keep the time solid.

In the original, the vocal key is quite high, so if possible, have the band lower the key, or if you’re a male singer, it’s fine to sing an octave down.

It’s a hit that’s guaranteed to fire up a live crowd.

soaptama

Soap / Hatsune Miku

This song is characterized by emotive vocals and a catchy melody.

Released by tama in 2024, it’s a very easy-to-listen rock tune with a distinctive, rounded guitar distortion sound.

The emotionally rich soundscape combined with highly relatable lyrics creates a cleansing experience for listeners.

The thoughts tied to a bar of soap rolling around a bathroom… it might be a worldview only tama can convey.

The chord progression is simple, making it approachable even for beginner guitarists.

Aim for tight, cohesive band playing while making the most of the vocalist’s expressive power.

Stone Bath / Teenage Gloom Pop [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A catchy rock number is implied to be the best! This is a song by Vocaloid producer Ishifuro, who also plays guitar in the rock band Necrytalkie, included on his major-label debut album released in 2013.

The nicely distorted guitar sound, a rhythm section that combines lightness with power, and miki’s straightforward vocals all fit together perfectly.

It’s the kind of track you’ll want to listen to while watching the sunset.

For beginners, a song at about this tempo should be an easy first challenge.

Night CiderUi Nashimoto

Hatsune Miku - Nightsider (Original Song)

You’ll be drawn in by the noisy soundscape and vocals.

It’s a track by Producer Nashimoto-P, known for hits like “Aa aaaa aaa aaaa,” released in 2022.

The heavily distorted guitar and bass have a rugged coolness! Yet there’s a certain melancholy that tightens your chest as you listen.

It especially sinks in when you hear it alone at night.

We’ll need to practice to bring out that sheer impact—the pressure the song carries.

Nashimoto-P’s songs are often great for bands to cover, too.

To Us Who Were Heroes / Ryo Narimiya feat. Hatsune Miku

Ryo Narimiya is a singer-songwriter who is active across a wide range of musical projects: he performs as a vocalist under the name Naryō, and as Nora in the duo Konya, Ano Machi Kara.

His ninth track, “To Us Who Were Heroes,” was released as an entry for Vocaloid Collection Spring 2023.

While the song has a driving, fast-paced feel, it contains no particularly difficult phrases, making it a great choice for beginner bands to try.

That said, the band needs to be tightly in sync or it can fall apart, so be sure to practice thoroughly before performing live.

Alien AlienNayutan Alien

Nayutan Seijin – Alien Alien (ft. Hatsune Miku) OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A song by Nayutan Seijin, who debuted as a Vocaloid producer in 2015.

It’s a track with a fully realized world where the title and the overall vibe match perfectly at first listen.

Since it doesn’t use particularly difficult techniques overall, it’s approachable for beginner instrumentalists; however, because many phrases feature swung rhythms and tight articulations, it’s more important to focus on rhythm than technique when playing it as a band.

Also, the key modulates upward in the latter half, so vocalists should check whether the transposed key is within their range before starting—this will make practice smoother.

There’s a lot for beginner musicians to learn from this song, so why not give it a try?

Mosaic RollDECO*27

DECO*27 – Mosaic Roll feat. GUMI

DECO*27’s “Mosaic Roll” has long been beloved by Vocaloid fans.

The A and B sections use repeating chord progressions, and the same guitar riff is played multiple times, so it should be easy for beginners to learn.

It’s mid-tempo, so the drums and bass shouldn’t feel “fast and difficult.” You can recreate the intro guitar riff by combining delay and reverb effects.

The final chorus modulates, so if you’re playing power chords, you can handle it by shifting up just a half step.
