Refined Sound: The World of Stylish Vocaloid R&B Songs

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.

Vocaloid tracks with an R&B flavor that are simple, stylish, and deliver a rich, high-quality sound.

Many of these songs are perfect when you want to immerse yourself in music—creating a refined atmosphere within a relaxed mood or giving off a mature vibe.

Their appeal also lies in emotional melodies, urban beats, and premium grooves.

In this article, we’ll be rounding up R&B-style Vocaloid tracks! Take this opportunity to check out these classics.

Sophisticated Sound: The World of Stylish Vocaloid R&B Songs (11–20)

[ONE] Cape Canaveral [Original]

Cape Canaveral NEW! Dragonfly

This work captivates with a sound where electronica and R&B intersect.

It’s a track by Tonbo from March 2017, with lyrics by f and vocals by ONE.

The composition is superb: it unfolds from a restrained first verse into a wistful pre-chorus, then surges with emotion in the chorus.

The lyrics use space and rockets as motifs, poignantly depicting the regret and distance of a love that, once set in motion, can’t turn back.

It’s a perfect song for introspective moods.
