[From Classics to the Latest] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Songs That Get the Crowd Going at Karaoke

Deep Sea GirlYuuyu

Yuyu feat. Hatsune Miku “Deep Sea Girl” MV (with translation)

Even now, long after its release, “Deep Sea Girl” continues to impress listeners.

The lyrics, centered on a girl steeped in deep sorrow, have been widely praised for being relatable when you’re feeling down.

From that alone you might think it’s a dark ballad, right? But the sound features an overwhelmingly powerful band arrangement with cool, ringing guitars.

The chorus explodes with energy, making it a perfect pick for karaoke!

DECO*27 – Coward Mont Blanc (Reloaded) feat. Hatsune Miku

DECO*27 is a Vocaloid producer who has churned out many hit numbers.

He’s created numerous masterpieces, but among them, “Weakling Mont Blanc (Reloaded) feat.

Hatsune Miku” is especially recommended.

While it draws out Hatsune Miku’s charm to the fullest, the song itself is arranged in a Japanese rock style.

As a result, the vocal lines are very singable, and the range is quite narrow for a Vocaloid song.

With both strong name recognition and excellent singability, it’s definitely worth adding to your repertoire.

Stellajin

Stella / Leo/need × Hatsune Miku

This song is by Jin, the creator of the media-mix series Kagerou Project, and was written specifically for Leo/need, a band that appears in the smartphone game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.

It’s based on the work The Nighthawk Star by the poet Kenji Miyazawa, so you can catch phrases throughout the lyrics that reflect it.

It has a driving, exhilarating feel, and if you can make it through to the end, it’s incredibly satisfying to sing.

Put your heart into it and give it a try.

Meltryo

Hatsune Miku "Melt"

A signature Hatsune Miku song released in the early days of the Vocaloid scene.

It’s also a flagship track by supercell, the music group formed by ryo, who also works as a professional musician.

With its girlish, cute melody and lyrics, it’s a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

The highest notes are extremely high—very Vocaloid-like—but if you can power through them, it feels great.

[MV] I'm Not a Menhera! / Isana feat. Hatsune Miku & Otomachi Una

This is a Vocaloid song I definitely want two women to sing.

The track is by Vocaloid producer Isana, released in 2020, and it’s the hit that really put Isana’s name on the map.

At first you might think it’s a cute song, but as you keep listening, a sudden heavy metal phrase kicks in.

That gap is addictive, creating a uniquely immersive world.

The lyrics take up a “menhera” theme, yet the final result is something anyone can relate to—another hallmark of the piece.

Be sure to belt it out with a punch!

[Kagamine Rin] Anti-Chlorobenzene

This is the fourth installment in Owata-P’s “Benzene \(^o^)/” series.

Building on the previous work, “Paradichlorobenzene,” this popular track features a brisk tempo and suggestive lyrics.

The creator leaves room for interpretation, prompting listeners to approach the song from various perspectives.

Holy Lance Exploding Boy – Rerulili feat. Kagamine Len

A track with an intense melody and lyrics.

Once the video was posted, it quickly went viral, and many cover versions were made.

The tempo is fast and the lyrics are dense, so you need practice; if you don’t articulate clearly, it becomes hard to understand what you’re saying.
