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.

There are various coined terms in the Vocaloid scene, and among them, Vocaloid rock songs are written as “VOCAROCK.” In this article, I’ve put together a selection of popular VOCAROCK tracks.

From timeless classics to newer releases, it’s a well-rounded lineup.

So I can confidently say it’ll resonate with both rock fans and Vocaloid fans! If you read through to the end, you might just catch a glimpse of the history of rock in the Vocaloid world.

Be sure to find your new favorite track!
