Inferior, SuperiorGiga
The powerful EDM sets my spirits ablaze! Composed by Giga, who’s also known for producing Ado’s hit song “Odo,” this track was released in 2018.
It made waves when it was chosen as the theme song for “Kagamine Rin & Len 10th Anniversary” at Magical Mirai 2018.
The dazzling synths and the booming, wobbly bass are just the best! Rin and Len’s crisp, sharp vocals really shine in this production.

collapse; fainting spell (colloquial/slang)Iyowa
Once you hear this mysterious sonic image, you won’t be able to escape! It’s a smash hit released in 2021 by the Vocaloid producer Iyowa, whose musicality—so fresh it feels truly unprecedented—captures listeners’ hearts and never lets go.
It sounds like it’s slipping off the rhythm yet never actually does, as if the pitch wavers yet somehow holds together… You’re simply overwhelmed by a sound crafted with a sense of balance that can only be called exquisite.
And on top of that, it’s catchy and cute, while the lyrics—depicting an unattainable love and the protagonist’s feelings—are heartbreaking… This might be the work that brought a new breeze to the Vocaloid scene.
Heaven’s PunishmentSatsuki
A cinematic, dark Vocaloid track that sharply lays bare human pretension and deceit.
Created by Satsuki, the Vocaloid producer behind songs like “Mesmerizer” and “Obsolete,” it was released in August 2025 and reached 16th place in the VocaColle Summer 2025 TOP 100 ranking.
Its worldview, depicting insincere relationships and the emptiness of society, pierces listeners to the core.
The dramatic vocal work—and developments—woven by three distinct sound sources perfectly matches the song’s atmosphere.
On nights when you’re worn down by the absurdity of reality, sink into this musical world.
Wait for me on the other shore.rinri
An alternative number that captivates with its dreamlike sound and heartrending worldview.
Released in August 2025, this piece was created as a character song for Yukiyuki in the Fifth Kikai installment, “Higan.” Its theme—like speaking to someone who has departed for the distant beyond—echoes deeply in the heart.
The lyrical melody, wrapped in the sense of loss so characteristic of rinri, and the delicate electronic tones feel as though they trace a restless heart’s wandering just as it is.
On a quiet night when you’re thinking of someone dear, take your time immersing yourself in this fragile yet beautiful sonic world.
