Band-sound Vocaloid Song Special [Rock]
We call making music on a computer “DTM,” but that doesn’t only refer to electronic music with programmed synths.
You can use various sound sources or record live instruments, and before you know it, you can complete a full band sound right inside your computer.
So in this article, I’d like to introduce Vocaloid songs that focus on band-style sound!
They’re all wonderful tracks!
I’m sure you’ll find a new favorite.
Band-sound Vocaloid Song Special [Rock] (1–10)
Ghost RuleDECO*27

Above all, the highlight is the grand key-change marathon in the final chorus, shifting every two bars.
Setting aside how brutal this is for the vocalist, the most important thing to watch out for is that near the end of the outro, when you return to A, the chords also jump back to the top of the form.
Terrifying.
To maximize the chorus’s catharsis, bring out the heaving weight and momentum of section B.

The lyrics, themed around bittersweet love, and the delicate melody leave a strong impression.

A song that blends poignancy and energy, sung over a driving guitar rock that races through the heart’s wavering.

Vague emotions, undefined relationships, conflicts with oneself—those inner tremors everyone carries are woven together with vivid guitar riffs and a brisk, catchy beat.
It’s irresistibly upbeat yet pierces the heart—pure youth, distilled.
When you’re feeling clouded or conflicted, give it a listen.

This is a moving anthem crafted by buzzG as the official theme song for HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2025 ASIA.

The song gives voice to a deep love for music that could only have been born because Hatsune Miku exists.
Its lyrics, which affirm pain, prayer, and ambiguity, resonate in the chest, overlapping with one’s inner wavering.
I especially hope people who’ve been supported by Vocaloid music will give it a listen!
