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!

[HOT] A Special Feature on Cool Vocaloid Songs! (21–30)

Night Talk Deceivejin

Jin / Yobanashi Deceive (IA) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Night Talk Deceive Jin

This is a song from the Kagerou Project series.

It focuses on Kano from the series and depicts his ability to “deceive the eye.” The upbeat melody and the PV that makes heavy use of effects are really cool.

I’d like to check out the novels and the anime as well.

Conflagration / Screw-Style feat. MEIKO

Inferno Screw

Goka (Conflagration) unfolds a story set in a glossy nocturnal world.

Created in 2023 by Nejishiki, a Vocaloid producer known for narrative-driven tracks, it depicts scenes of someone searching for answers in the night city, singing of a brave figure who stands up to face the future again and again, no matter how things end.

MEIKO’s brilliant vocals shine over a passionate band performance that incorporates traditional Japanese instruments.

It’s a fast-paced rock number where lyrics brimming with searing emotion perfectly match the rock sound.

Roki Mikito-P

A song by Mikito-P uploaded to Niconico on February 27, 2018.

It’s a duet by Kagamine Rin and Mikito-P himself.

The lyrics comically encourage modern band members, and the guitar tone is really cool and addictive.

Among VOCALOID songs uploaded to Niconico, it reached 1 million views on April 22 of the same year, making it the 20th fastest to do so.

Charles Balloon

With a phrase repeated in the chorus and a tempo that sticks in your head, it’s the kind of song you’ll find yourself humming.

The music video was created by Avogado6, known on Twitter for producing high-quality visual works, and it enhances the song’s atmosphere.

There’s also a version sung by Balloon himself, so be sure to check that out as well.

Nuyuri – Lower / Flower: Lower one’s eyes

Lower nuyuri

Numeri is a Vocaloid producer known for songs with a distinctive worldview centered on piano sounds, and for providing tracks to numerous artists.

Among his works, one of the coolest is “Lower.” An electro-pop groove pulses to a waltz rhythm, and the sharp, evolving melodic lines match the narrative-style lyrics.

While the track paints a dark worldview filled with emotional intensity, try listening to it as a weighty piece of dance music as well!

Bocca della VeritàHiiragi Kirai

Bocca della Verità / Hiiragi Kirai feat. flower

Bocca della Verità Hiiragi Kirai

It’s a distinctive number that shifts from a forceful opening vocal to a suspicious, twisting development.

Created by Kairi Hiiragi, whose name became widely known with the hit “Autophagy,” it was released in 2020.

The chorus has a highly addictive quality that makes you want to hum along, and many listeners found themselves hooked.

While the sound production feels glittering, the overall impression of the song conveys a dark shadow.

Perhaps that’s because the lyrics describe emotions akin to resignation.

Please experience the allure of this somewhat precarious track with both your ears and your heart!

Tokyo Teddy BearNeru

Neru – Tokyo Teddy Bear feat. Kagamine Rin

Tokyo Teddy Bear Neru

This is a song by the Vocaloid producer Neru.

He is also credited as Oshiire-P and z’5.

“Tokyo Teddy Bear” is one of his signature tracks: it was released on August 14, 2011, surpassed 3 million views on November 24, 2016, and became his first entry into the VOCALOID Legends.

It’s a fast-paced rock number whose despair-tinged lyrics, dark sound, and worldbuilding make for a striking piece.
