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.

So for those thinking, “I want to sing a Vocaloid song, but I’m not sure which one to pick…,” we’re introducing Vocaloid tracks that are guaranteed to hype up the room when you sing them!

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