[Latest & Classic] A Special Feature on Rock Vocaloid Songs [VOCAROCK]

Ultra Trailermasalada

Ultra Trailer / Kasane Teto SV

Masarada, a Vocaloid producer who debuted in 2023, has been drawing attention by releasing a string of hit songs.

His third track is “Ultra Trailer.” While his previous works conveyed a warm, laid-back feel, this one delivers a powerful, high-energy sound.

In the first half, it sings of the suffocating feeling of being unable to live as one wishes; in the latter half, it celebrates the sense of liberation that comes with becoming free.

For listeners who share similar feelings, it’s a song that will gently give you a push forward.

DramaturgyEVE

Dramaturgy – Eve MV

Of course the song itself is wonderful, but I also recommend it for the profound message embedded in the lyrics.

It’s a track by Eve, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as a professional singer-songwriter, released in 2017.

Rather than an intense rock number, it gives an overall stylish impression.

Still, the sharp performance is incredibly cool.

As for the lyrics, they deal with the “roles” we play in our everyday lives.

I encourage you to interpret that meaning for yourself!

The lyrics as well, combined with the tearful chord progression and melody line, result in a heartbreaking sound that tightens your chest.

The title “Tokyo Teddy Bear” is stylish too, and you can feel the creator’s refined taste.

You might feel a shock like being struck by lightning! This track by Vocaloid producer jon-YAKITORY—also known for works like “Shikabanese” and “Machi”—was released in 2023 and chosen as the theme song for “Hatsune Miku JAPAN TOUR 2023 ~THUNDERBOLT~.” You’ll be captivated by its sound, which blends coolness, allure, and stylish flair.

Miku’s clearly defined, powerful vocals shine as well.

The lyrics’ message—“I’ll always be with you”—is sure to fire you up.

Swallow niki feat. KAFU

An irresistibly addictive Voca-rock track that instantly grabs your ears.

Composed by Vocaloid producer niki, released in August 2024.

It’s a stylish piece that fuses emotional melodies with a refined beat.

KAFU’s fleeting, bittersweet vocals delicately convey the turmoil of a heart wavering between freedom and restraint—truly memorable.

The song’s dreamy lyrical world is another highlight.

Highly recommended for fans of rock and electronica.

Perfect for quiet nights when you want to face yourself.

A wonderful work that resonates deeply.

A track with an undeniably cool arrangement.

Amid the extremely fast, noisy guitar sound, IA’s voice blends in like part of the instrumentation, making it pleasing to the ear and something you’ll want to replay over and over.

You could call it quintessentially Vocaloid rock.

The cool guitar sound and the complex yet captivating melody line are striking.

Overall, it has a sense of speed, but there are also more relaxed sections along the way, giving it contrast and letting you enjoy many musical elements at once.

And the poignancy of the lyrics really pierces the heart.
