A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

I’m Takashi Hoshino, a freelance writer currently juggling work with parenting. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years since I first picked it up when I started high school, and I’m still active in a band today. Ever since I began playing, I’ve been drawn to hard rock and heavy metal, and I enjoy intense music, whether Japanese or Western. At the same time, I keep in mind something I was told long ago: “If you want to play rock, you should know more than just rock!” With that in my heart, I make a point of listening to a wide range of genres every day. My experience as a writer is still growing, but I’ll keep working hard to recommend all kinds of music to as many people as possible!

The Vocaloid scene is where countless Vocaloid producers and creators are active every day.

In this article, we’ve put together a collection of cool Vocaloid tracks that are being released practically daily.

From classics to the latest releases, we’ve picked songs purely based on one thing: how cool they are—regardless of genre.

These hot selections will slice through your frustration and blow away those gloomy feelings.

Be sure to read to the end and find your new favorite track!

[Hatsune Miku] Requiem [Kanaria]

Requiem Kanaria

The cool sound and melody line are irresistible! Composed by bKaroP, Kanaria—who has produced numerous hits like “KING”—and released in April 2023.

Its sleek, razor-sharp, minimalist soundscape pulls you right in.

Maybe because of the fast tempo, you can’t help but nod along vertically.

Be sure to also check out the versions sung by Suisei Hoshimachi, a Hololive VTuber active as a singer, and by Kanaria themselves!

This is a cool song by Noboru↑P, who has created many cute tracks.

The intense, shotgun-like tempo matches perfectly with the strong tone of the VOCALOID voice.

The second Vocaloid song by Ro-aru, who works as a Vocaloid producer under the name “Self-Reincarnation P.” It’s the track that gave them their first entrance into the Hall of Fame, and it also took first place in the Rookie category of VocaColle Spring 2022—a bona fide hit tune.

The ensemble is brimming with drive, featuring tight guitar cutting and a commanding bassline that even non-Vocaloid fans can’t help but get absorbed in.

With a pop melody riding on a funky arrangement, it’s an addictive Vocaloid number of exceptional quality.

Self-Indulgence – Otomachi Una

Self-indulgent comedawara

This is a guitar rock number unfolded with an emotional band sound.

It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Komedawara, released in 2020.

It begins with just acoustic guitar strumming and vocals, but as mentioned above, an emotional build-up into the intro awaits.

It feels so good that you end up listening to it over and over—a cool Vocaloid track.

The lyrics, which make you think about what the self really is, are deeply sorrowful and sink into the depths of your heart.

This is “White Prism” by Chouchou-P, also known as a piano duet piece.

As it is a sequel to “Black Board,” please listen to “Black Board” first before this one.

These two tracks express the contrast of black and white through sound, evoking a mood that feels as if you’re being drawn in somewhere.
