[Surprise] Popular Vocaloid Songs Perfect for Lyric Pranks (31–40)
LaviSorry
This song is striking for its intense self-denying lyrics and distinctive chorus, and it advocates the importance of self-actualization over an irresistibly addictive rhythm.
Released in December 2022 as a character song for the game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System,” it topped the Billboard JAPAN “Niconico VOCALOID SONGS TOP20” the following month—marking a first-ever milestone for Surii.
It’s a perfect track for when you lack confidence or feel crushed by others’ expectations.
It could also work for a lyric-prank, but why not send it not just to surprise someone, but to encourage them as well?
melancholicJunky
For those who want to pull off a lyric surprise with a song overflowing with a girly vibe, “Melancholic” is highly recommended.
It was produced by Junky, a Vocaloid producer known for a wide musical range from pop to rock.
The lively band sound paired with catchy synth tones leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics, which portray a tsundere heart that can’t be honest with someone they like, are also adorable.
If you find yourself thinking about that special someone before you know it, give it a listen.
It’s a Vocaloid track that will make you excited to see the other person’s reaction when you spring the lyric surprise.
seems like (just) my imaginationChouchou-P
Kokoronashi is an essential classic when talking about the Vocaloid scene of the 2010s.
Created in 2014 by Chouchou-P, a Vocaloid producer famous for songs depicting every kind of love story, it features a grand sound marked by a poignant yet beautiful piano tone.
Many listeners may relate to the lyrics overflowing with feelings for a loved one.
It’s also recommended for those who want to confess their feelings to someone they like or are interested in, perhaps using a “lyrics prank” as a starting point.
Why not send a message conveying that fleeting sentiment of “It hurts just to be treated kindly…”?
Town of JadeMel feat. Hatsune Miku
If you pull a lyrics prank using “Jade City” produced by Meru, you might be able to confuse or worry the other person! The opening lines sound a bit down, and then suddenly it switches to inviting someone on a date, so they’re bound to be thrown for a loop.
However, since the lyrics include references to life and death, be sure not to use those parts when doing a lyrics prank with this song.
It’s recommended to pick out a short excerpt of the lyrics and keep the prank brief!
Responsibility at 18Tohta Kasamura
When it comes to emotional songs that capture the anxieties of youth, “Responsibility at Eighteen” stands out.
Created in 2019 by the Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, known for resonating especially with teens through music that lays bare bittersweet feelings, the track leaves a strong impression with its youthful lyrics depicting the struggles of life.
GUMI’s clear, translucent vocals ring out over a classical piano tone.
If you’re someone who “has honest feelings you can’t usually say out loud,” using a lyric surprise could be a good way to share them.
It’s a piece that can bring you closer to someone important.
