Giga – 'Inferiority Superiority' (BRING IT ON) ft. Kagamine Rin & Len [MV]

This is the song “Rettou Joutou,” sung by the hugely popular Vocaloid duo Kagamine Rin and Len.

It was posted in 2018 by Giga, whose exceptional skill with Vocaloid has earned him the title of a “god-tier tuner.” It’s such a well-crafted, cool track that it could stand toe-to-toe with Western pop and K-pop.

Try singing it at karaoke with friends by splitting the parts!

HEROAyase

HERO / Hatsune Miku

Ayase, the composer of YOASOBI and also active as a Vocaloid producer, wrote “HERO” as the theme song for Magical Mirai 2023.

It’s a fast-paced track with lyrics that portray Hatsune Miku and the people around her as heroes.

Packed with a passionate message, it’s a great song to listen to at the start of the year to kick off the New Year with a positive mindset.

There’s also a part that acknowledges those who are working hard, making it a good recommendation for year-end parties as well.

Goodbye DeclarationChinozo

Chinozo “Goodbye Declaration” feat. FloweR

If it’s a year-end or New Year party with teens and people in their 20s—the kind who check social media every day—it might go over really well.

“Goodbye Sengen,” a smash-hit song that spread after going viral on video platforms like TikTok, is by Vocaloid producer Chinozo and was released in 2020.

The lyrics, which celebrate the greatness of staying at home, have a contemporary sensibility.

When something is stated that directly, it actually feels refreshing.

If you’re looking for a high-energy karaoke track, this is a must.

MatryoshkaBee

Hachi MV “Matryoshka” HACHI / MATRYOSHKA

This song, which starts with single piano notes, boasts over 20 million views on YouTube.

Its distinctive lyrics and melodic lines over a rock backing are striking.

There’s a slightly high section in the chorus, but once you get past that, it isn’t difficult.

Alternatively, try singing it an octave lower.

I’m sure you’ll be able to sing it well.

CharlesBalloon

Charles / Balloon (self cover)

This is a song called “Charles,” released in 2017 by Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who also performs as a singer.

The guitar sound, which seems influenced by math rock, gives it a sense of speed.

Many Vocaloid songs are hard to sing due to their high keys and wide vocal ranges, but this one is great for karaoke—so much so that the creator has even done a self-cover!

Mikito-P "Roki" MV

From the intro, it grabs listeners with a sound that’s rock within rock.

Once the track starts, it’s sure to turn heads.

The rapid-fire rap and vocals highlight its difficulty.

But if you can pull it off, it’s guaranteed to earn high praise for being cool.

Thanks to the consistently rhythmic melody line, it’s a song that even those who don’t know it can enjoy, so sing it with confidence.
