A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

When it comes to the appeal of Vocaloid, it’s that it sings the exact lyrics and feelings the creator programs into it.

It’s the ultimate music tool that makes “I want to turn this feeling into a song” come true!

Vocaloid producers pour the emotions that well up from deep within their hearts into sound and lyrics, delivering them to us every day.

In this article, we’ll introduce lots of Vocaloid tracks that we especially want you to listen to with a focus on the lyrics!

They’ll warm your heart with emotion or startle you with the sharpness of their words.

You’re sure to find a piece that strikes a chord with you!

Kokoronashi by Chouchou-P

A gem of a song by Chouchou-P that warmly embraces hearts tormented by loneliness.

Through the relationship between “I” and “you,” it conveys the desire to be understood and the anguish of being unable to understand.

For those troubled by the complexities of love or struggling to express their feelings, it’s sure to be a song that stays by your side.

Tropic to You by Inabakumori

Kimi ni Kaikisen captivates with its mysterious lyrics sprinkled with school-related keywords.
