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.

In recent years, Vocaloid songs have become widely recognized across many age groups.

Many creators—such as YOASOBI, Kenshi Yonezu, Eve, Yorushika, Yoh Kamiyama, and TOOBOE—have expanded their activities while engaging with Vocaloid, and there are plenty of singers who first gained popularity through “utaite” covers of Vocaloid tracks.

You’ll even see Vocaloid songs ranking high on karaoke charts.

This is a carefully curated collection of fail-safe hits by our editorial team!

It’s a highly addictive, hype-boosting, and super cute mixture rock number.

The track is by Mafumafu—well-known as a vocalist—and was released in 2019.

This is a famous song released in the early days of the Vocaloid scene, and many derivative videos, such as cover-singing videos, were posted.

Since it’s a duet, it’s best to sing it with two or more people at karaoke.
