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

GaUtsu-P

Utsu-P – Ga feat. Hatsune Miku

The thick, weighty sound arrangement that fuses EDM and metal is absolutely badass.

It’s a track by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer who’s also active in bands and idol production, released in March 2023.

It participated in the VOCACOLLE 2023 Spring TOP 100 ranking.

The song is self-deprecating, with lyrics like “I am not a butterfly,” and I’m sure many people can relate to that sentiment.

You can’t help but listen to it while reflecting on yourself—your differences from others, your place in society.

Crank up the volume, by all means.

Advance! The Strongest Fallen Angel / DIVELA feat. Otomachi Una

The title alone might not give you the right idea, but this is an insanely cool rock track.

It’s a piece by DIVELA, who made a name with this song by winning the Grand Prix in the “Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2018” Song Contest, and it was released in 2019.

The tempo blends a sense of speed with an air of mystery; the sound itself feels simple, yet it has incredible depth.

And the lyrics are adorable—by the time you get to the end, you can’t help but want to cheer on the fallen angel.
