[Hot] A special feature on cool Vocaloid songs!

Sacred SecretPowerless P

[Powerless P] Megurine Luka – Sacred Secret

This is the 18th track posted to Nico Nico Douga by Muryoku-P, known for a lyrical, rock-influenced sound.

In this song, they take on a new frontier: techno.

Muryoku-P’s one-of-a-kind piano tones, electronic textures, and worldbuilding blend beautifully.

It’s incredibly cool—so polished it wouldn’t be surprising to hear it as an anime theme song!

Viper ViperFushi

Viper Viper / Fushi feat. REML

Viper Viper, produced by Fushi, portrays a character whose personality is steeped in pitch-black darkness.

The word “viper” in the title can mean a pit viper, a venomous snake, or a two-faced, malicious person; the music video’s illustration shows a person draped in snakes, their face laid bare with raw, dark emotions.

The lyrics paint a pretty dangerous personality, yet the brisk, driving melody is irresistibly catchy.

Even when we want to spend our days with kindness, sometimes something so nasty happens that it blackens us on the inside.

In moments like that, why not listen to this track as a way to blow off some steam?

End-World NormopathyGHOST

Solaria, Kevin / End-World Normopathy [Original Song Collaboration]

An aggressive, cool electronic number that hits you like a wall of sound.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call GHOST a representative figure among overseas Vocaloid producers; this track by GHOST was released in March 2023.

It’s one of the songs in the Qualia Automata series by the creator unit Team 6×111, which GHOST belongs to, and it’s connected to the story of Reckless Battery Burns.

Be sure to listen to them together!

Grand GuignolRuLu

RuLu – Grand Guignol feat. Hatsune Miku

Perhaps due to its mysterious sense of chord progression, this high-sense rock tune offers a depth that feels just out of reach.

It’s a work by Vocaloid producer RuLu, released in 2022, and it participated in the BokaColle 2022 Autumn TOP 100 ranking.

The sound image—combining a mature band sound with release-cut piano—is outrageously cool.

You won’t be able to stop turning up the volume.

The way it leads into the chorus is stylish and liberating.

The fantasy-tinged, decadent lyrical worldview is also part of its charm.

THUNDERBOLTjon-YAKITORY

THUNDERBOLT / jon-YAKITORY feat. Hatsune Miku [Hatsune Miku JP Tour]

You might feel a shock like being struck by lightning! This track by Vocaloid producer jon-YAKITORY—also known for works like “Shikabanese” and “Machi”—was released in 2023 and chosen as the theme song for “Hatsune Miku JAPAN TOUR 2023 ~THUNDERBOLT~.” You’ll be captivated by its sound, which blends coolness, allure, and stylish flair.

Miku’s clearly defined, powerful vocals shine as well.

The lyrics’ message—“I’ll always be with you”—is sure to fire you up.

alternativekamome sano

alternative (feat. POPY) – kamome sano

I think this will especially resonate with fans of electronica and math rock! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kamome sano, whose forward-thinking musicality has been gaining popularity, released in June 2023.

First of all, the sound is fantastic—both in terms of timbre and audio quality.

Thanks to the unpredictable song structure, it stays engaging the whole time; the excitement of “What’s coming next?” never stops.

The title “alternative” carries the meaning of “something new,” and I think this song truly embodies that!

Artcoreankurage

Artcore | Ankurage ft. Defoko – σ(T²)²

It’s a highly polished piece where an epic story seems to unfold from the sound alone.

Created by Vocaloid producer Ankurage and released in May 2023 on the doujin music channel Yo Kaze.

Each timbre is beautiful, and you can’t help but be enchanted.

The build-up toward the latter half is fantastic, too.

Another distinctive point is that it’s sung by Defoko—the default voice library of the UTAU speech synthesis tool.

A song with this kind of atmosphere sung by Defoko might be quite rare.
