Darling DanceKairiki Bear

[Official] Darling Dance / Kairiki Bear feat. Hatsune Miku

The snappy melody line and sharp sound are irresistible.

It’s a piece by Kairiki Bear, a popular Vocaloid producer who also provides songs to VTubers and singers, released in 2020.

The song develops like it’s rolling forward, yet it’s easy to listen to, and before you know it you’re drawn into its world.

The word choice in the lyrics, with their wonderful sound, is truly excellent as well.

It might be even more fun to sing together with everyone you came with rather than solo.

Let’s pump up the energy and sing!

One song I’d love for you to sing at a karaoke gathering of Vocaloid fans is NayutalieN’s “Solar System Disco.” As the title suggests, its upbeat disco vibe is perfect for karaoke, and the sing-along sections are guaranteed to turn into a massive chorus among Vocaloid lovers! It even kicks off with that signature Vocaloid-style high register—perfect for showing off your skills.

When it comes to Vocaloid songs that really hype up a karaoke session, you can’t leave out the mega-hits.

One you’ll definitely want to have down is “World’s End Dancehall.” This track became the last video of the Heisei era to hit 10 million views on Nico Nico Douga.

The rapid-fire delivery in the B-melody—a hallmark of Vocaloid—can be a bit tricky, but the vocal range is quite singable.

Once you master that part, it’ll shine as a go-to number in your karaoke repertoire.

[Megurine Luka, GUMI] Happy Synthesizer [Original Song]

A techno-pop track with a catchy, upbeat sound and the pleasant high tones of GUMI and Megurine Luka.

It’s the second work by the creator, EasyPop, to enter the Hall of Fame.

The melody lifts your spirits as you listen.

There’s also choreography, so feel free to dance along.

Mikito-P “Shoujo Rei” MV

You’ll be surprised by the light, upbeat sound that even conjures up the image of being on a tropical island.

It’s a song by mikitoP, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Roki” and “Yi Er Fanclub,” released in 2018.

The crisp tone of the acoustic guitar feels great to listen to! And the way the song builds makes it perfect for karaoke, don’t you think? The lyrics are a little bittersweet, but that actually works well—the contrast between the melody and the words deepens the world of the piece.

Telecaster B-BoySorry

Telecaster B-Boy (long ver.) / Surii feat. Kagamine Len

Let’s get hyped singing this super rhythmic rock number! Created by Surii, also known as the author of “Hyouri Ittai” and “Junkie Night Town Orchestra,” a 1-minute version was released in 2019.

Its highly addictive sound grabbed listeners’ hearts.

Then in 2020, a long version was released, and together with its cute PV, it became a hot topic among Vocaloid fans.

Be sure to sing it out loud and full of energy!

KINGKanaria

【GUMI】KING【Kanaria】

It’s a song with a unique worldbuilding that blends a sense of speed with a fantastical atmosphere.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria, who made a name with the debut work “Hyakki-sai,” it was released in 2020.

What’s interesting about this track is that, despite having Japanese lyrics, it sounds like English.

You can really see Kanaria’s attention to detail.

If you’re aiming to faithfully recreate the original, you’ll need plenty of practice! Singing with a rolled R might work well.

That said, everyone has their own way of enjoying it—belting it out without overthinking is totally fine too!
