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!

Don't kiss me!HONEY WORKS

Don't kiss me!/HoneyWorks feat. KAFU

Don't kiss! HONEY WORKS

Let me introduce “Kiss Shicha Dame!”—a cute song that adorably sings about a tsundere attitude.

It’s a track provided by the music unit HoneyWorks to the singer Mei-chan.

Later, a version sung by Fuka was also released.

At first glance, it seems like a song depicting a girl’s feelings in love, but it’s actually written from a cat’s perspective.

Knowing that might change how you hear it.

Try singing it with feeling and showing off a sweet voice.

Also, imitating the poses that appear in the music video could be fun.

The alluring choruses and harmonies make it great not only for solos but also as a duet.

PinocchioP – Killer Spider feat. Hatsune Miku / Killer Spider

Killer Spider Pinocchio P

Highly addictive songs are also perfect for karaoke! Created by the Vocaloid producer PinocchioP, who has released numerous hits, this track came out in 2022.

The arrangement, which links fragmented sounds together, feels like collage art—PinocchioP’s musical sensibility really shines.

The lyrics’ eerie worldview is another fascinating element; it even makes you wonder, “Have I, without noticing, become like this spider?” It’s a cool song, but it will definitely get the crowd hyped!

Sensitive Ghost Wataru Sena

Singing “Sensitive Ghost” is likely to give off a cool impression.

This song, released by Vocaloid producer Wataru Sena as an entry for VocaColle Spring 2023, is crafted to express the protagonist’s hatred and anger as they find life difficult.

That description might make it sound scary, but it’s not—the cute vocals and rapid-fire singing add a stylish vibe.

The lyrics repeat the same words, so it’s also perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.

Shining / Feryquitous × Kafu

Shining Feryquitous

A straightforward rock number by Vocaloid producer Feryquitous.

Its artful, visual kei-inspired world is brought to life by meticulously crafted highs and lows.

The structure is so packed with highlights that you could cut it anywhere and find something to savor—perhaps a style honed during the period when Feryquitous was absorbed in rhythm games.

If you sing these poetic, literary lyrics at karaoke, the people with you might just pause what they’re doing and find themselves drawn into listening.

the finishing touchPuku

Finishing Touches / Puku feat. Kagamine Rin [Vocaloid Original Song]

Garyōtensei Puku

It’s a powerful rock track featuring traditional Japanese instruments and heavy guitars.

I feel this kind of hard sound suits Kagamine Rin rather well.

The synthesizers and flutes use long tones to create a three-dimensional sense of depth, making it very easy to listen to.

If you try it at high volume, you’ll really notice how finely balanced it is, so give it a shot.

When performing it with a human vocalist, instead of leaning into visual kei, I’d deliberately push it toward heavy metal and really hammer in that final high note.
