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.

PARTY ROCK ETERNITYHachioji-P

Hachioji-P “PARTY ROCK ETERNITY feat. Hatsune Miku”

PARTY ROCK ETERNITY Hachioji P

This is a danceable Vocaloid pop track with pleasantly electronic tones and an upbeat rhythm.

Created as part of a collaboration with Pokémon, it was released in February 2024.

Composed by Hachioji-P, the song showcases Hatsune Miku’s brilliant vocals.

The lyrics depict a determination to stay true to oneself amid the nighttime bustle and lights, and the unique worldview from a villain’s perspective is striking as well.

Brimming with self-assertion and a spirit of challenge, it’s perfect for lifting your spirits.

Deep Sea City Underground Tanaka B

This is a guitar rock track that draws you into a decadent, downer world.

Vocaloid producer Mr.

Tanaka B’s signature song “Shinkai City Underground” was released in 2011.

Its cool tone, marked by resonant distortion, is striking, and Kagamine Rin’s somewhat innocent vocals amplify the song’s uncanny atmosphere.

The chorus makes you want to sing along yourself.

When people think of a “cool Rin song,” this work is likely one that comes to mind.

Smart???Marasy

Smart??? / marasy feat. Kagamine Rin

Smart??? Marasy

This song captivates with its highly addictive melodies and sound.

Released by Marasy in February 2024, it satirically portrays a modern life dependent on being “smart,” delivering a message that leaves a deep impression on listeners.

Its multi-layered sonic appeal is another highlight.

It’s recommended for moments when you step away from your busy routine and take time to reflect on yourself.

Iroha Songsilver sockeye (salmon)

[Kagamine Rin] Iroha Song [Original Track]

Iroha-uta Silver Saku

Would this be considered a wa-rock (Japanese-style rock) genre? The Japanese vibe pours out right from the intro.

As the title suggests, it’s interesting that part of the Iroha poem is included in the lyrics.

The fast-paced rhythm section is cool, too! You can also tell there’s a strong emphasis on vibrato.

Your ears and mind get wrecked by the fierce, eerie, dark sound.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, released in 2020.

The track participated in the online Vocaloid event “The VOCALOID Collection,” which helped it reach a wide audience.

Once you’re hooked, there’s no getting out—the distinctive soundscape and song progression are insanely cool.

There’s even a section that shifts into poetry reading midway through.

The lyrics are filled with aggressive words, yet many listeners will likely relate.

Absolute strongest biasFLG4

Absolute Supreme Bias / FLG4 feat. Hatsune Miku

Complete Ultimate Bias FLG4

An incredibly addictive number that hooks you with its brisk pace and irresistibly satisfying melody line.

It’s a track by FLG4, the music duo of Vooli and Big Brother (temp.

), released in 2020.

The song voices the frustration of a life that just won’t go right, making it highly relatable.

And beyond being undeniably cool, it also has a touch of cuteness.

The downbeat vibe in the middle of the song—transitioning from the instrumental break into the C-melody part—is absolutely sublime.

If life has weightGou Aoki

If life has weight / Hidden Life

If life has weight, then Aogiki Gou

Until April 2020, Aokigi Gou was active under the name Gogo Tea and has also been successful as a Vocaloid producer in fields like performance covers and game commentary.

Released in April 2023, “If Life Has Weight” is a striking track with lyrics that prompt listeners to reflect and relate personally.

The contrast between its driving, tight rock sound and its exquisitely airy feel creates a comfort that makes you want to keep listening.

It’s an emotional Vocaloid number whose refreshing melody truly stirs the heart.
