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.

I’m Takashi Hoshino, a freelance writer currently juggling work with parenting. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years since I first picked it up when I started high school, and I’m still active in a band today. Ever since I began playing, I’ve been drawn to hard rock and heavy metal, and I enjoy intense music, whether Japanese or Western. At the same time, I keep in mind something I was told long ago: “If you want to play rock, you should know more than just rock!” With that in my heart, I make a point of listening to a wide range of genres every day. My experience as a writer is still growing, but I’ll keep working hard to recommend all kinds of music to as many people as possible!

Vocaloid, a synthesized singing technology that feels cutting-edge, actually saw the release of Hatsune Miku back in 2007.

Thinking about that, it feels like quite a lot of time has passed since the scene was established.

There’s even a term for the generation that has been listening to Vocaloid songs since they were little: the “native Vocaloid generation.”

Naturally, the number of Vocaloid tracks that make us think “How nostalgic!” has been growing.

So in this article, we’ve put together a collection themed around “nostalgic Vocaloid songs”!

Let’s trace the history of Vocaloid together!
