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!

Scarlet in the eyesShishi Shishi

Scarlateyes (Many Hero) – Hatsune Miku MV

Scarleon Shishi Shiji in my eyes

A stylish, cool, and insanely addictive Vocaloid tune.

It’s a track by Shishi Shishi, the hitmaker behind songs like “Eien Hanahadashii” and “Taimanaku Aiiro,” released in August 2023.

The relentless, never-stopping drive of the song is irresistible.

The shift into a hip-hop vibe midway is another highlight.

Miku’s slightly noisy vocal texture meshes perfectly with the sound.

With lyrics that spell out a will to fight, it’s a thrilling piece of mixture rock.

Relayoutter, which also drew attention for taking the top spot in The VOCALOID Collection ~2023 Summer~ rankings, is a track by Vocaloid producer Inabakumori.

It portrays the protagonist’s loneliness and the joy of meeting someone they love.

Its standout feature is a shifting musical style—at times intense, at times like a music box that’s about to stop.

That’s why you can listen with excitement, wondering what will happen next.

Dreaming Little BirdHaya—end

Dreaming Little Bird [Yumemiru Kotori] - Miku & Rin [Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Rin]

The dreaming little bird is somewhat finished.

I recommend this to anyone who likes Japanese-style music.

This track by the Vocaloid producer Hayaya Shime, also known as “the Mushroom Person,” was released in 2008.

Its cool, dreamlike atmosphere and sound will stir you to your core.

It might even make you feel cooler when you listen during the hot season.

The choral work by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin is also beautiful—truly wonderful.

182.¿?

182. / ¿? feat.flower

182.¿?

It’s a hardcore Vocaloid track that comes crashing in with heavy sound pressure.

Created by shimon (aka ¿?), it was released in July 2024.

The title “182.” is slang for “I hate you,” meaning “I really hate you.” The lyrics vent frustrations about society and one’s way of life, yet still bristle with the resolve that “there’s no choice but to do it.” That gritty sentiment pairs perfectly with the avant-garde sound arrangement.

Self Decision feat. Iroha Nekomura

Self-Decision Lonely Honeybee

It’s a weighty rock number with an impressive, beautiful piano tone.

The track is by Vocaloid producer Mitsubachi Bocchi and was released in 2021.

Powerful drumming and dramatic song development pair perfectly with Iroha Nekomura’s firm, resonant vocals.

The lyrics carry a blazing message that makes you feel, “I’ll decide my own fate.” The rich, full-bodied sound really shines when you turn up the volume, so give it a try.

Deca-Dancer / Hatsune Miku – Ao Wi-Fi

Deka Dancer Ao Wi-Fi

It’s got a rhythm that makes you want to clap along! It’s a dance-rock number by the Vocaloid producer Aowifi, released in 2019.

The groove is irresistible, and before you know it, your body starts swaying on its own.

Yet the melody and the finer details of the arrangement carry a mature touch, making it a work with depth that goes beyond simply calling it a “groovy song.”

Apples and Pomegranates Kuriyama Yūri

Yuri Kuriyama, who began her career as a Vocaloid producer under the name Nanashi Hachiya and now also works as a singer-songwriter, released “Ringo to Zakuro” as her first single of 2023.

Its hysterical EDM-driven ensemble and high-velocity chorus really crank up the energy.

In the interlude, alternating solos by electric and acoustic guitar will likely draw in any guitar lover almost unconsciously.

With its rapidly shifting arrangement, it’s a stylish Vocaloid track packed with listening highlights.
