[Latest & Classic] Rock Vocaloid Song Special [VOCAROCK] (291–300)
Gray Seato grumble; to complain (colloquial)
Guchiri, a Vocaloid producer known for creating numerous narrative-driven tracks.
His 2023 piece “Gray Sea” unfolds like a novel, weaving a compelling story.
The protagonist, lost in a dream, realizes they’ve lost their colors and is depicted confronting the world and themselves.
The song features an impressive, dazzling band sound with technical guitar work and a horn section.
Sung powerfully and alone on stage by flower, it’s a mid-tempo number that conveys both poignancy and strength.
A poetic Vocaloid song themed around inner conflict and anxiety.
Shifterscrew-type
Here’s the theme song for ISEKAI CREATORS, a project that distributes worlds and assets you can use in your own games.
It’s by Nejishiki, the Vocaloid producer also known for the smash hit “Freedom Lolita,” and it was released in March 2023.
Many people might be surprised to hear Megurine Luka singing in English.
Luka’s solid vocals shine over a track that feels like an RPG battle theme, and it alone conjures up a sense of an epic story.
ISEKAI CREATORS is definitely a project to watch.
Glass Fireworksscrew-type
This is a Vocaloid rock song that boldly proclaims, while reflecting on the life one has walked, “Everything led to who I am now.” The track “Glass Hanabi” by Vocaloid producer Nejishiki was released in August 2023 and was submitted to VOCALOID Collection 2023 Summer.
2023 also marked Nejishiki’s 10th anniversary of activity, and the song’s lyrical worldview—tracing memories at this commemorative moment—ties right into that.
The upbeat, catchy, razor-sharp band sound is incredibly cool.
This rock tune will set your heart ablaze!
Reason for wishing to die.Haruna.
A teen-style Vocalo-rock track that grabs you with its title.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Haruna, who made a name with the smash hit “Future Creation Diary,” released in June 2023.
A lively piece that colors a four-on-the-floor band sound with a rolling piano phrase, giving it a snappy groove.
The lyrics trace the protagonist’s two-sided feelings, and it will especially resonate with anyone in the thick of their youth.
When you’re overwhelmed by feelings like these, what would you do?
That girl who doesn’t listen to Japanese rock always sings about love.Haruna.
For fans of rock and music lovers alike, we recommend “That Girl Who Doesn’t Listen to J-Rock Always Sings of Love.” This is a fast-paced rock song created by Haruna using Utaai Yuki.
The lyrics portray a protagonist who tries to turn a romance—and eventual breakup—with someone who doesn’t listen to rock into a song.
The heartbreaking situation of creating a wonderful track that the person you love will never listen to is sure to seize your heart.
You can also feel the wistfulness in the slightly lowered vocal tone.

It’s a very refreshing Vocaloid song that starts with the sparkling tone of an acoustic guitar.
Created by Vocaloid producer Potential 0—also known for tracks like “Fumou!” and “Yūgure Jetson”—it was released in April 2023.
The warm band sound and Hatsune Miku’s gentle vocals leave a lasting impression.
The message, “It’s okay to sing in your own way,” is deeply moving.
It’s the kind of music that stays by your side when you’re tired or struggling.

Girl Narune Frontpolypho
It’s a fast-paced Vocaloid rock track with a somewhat retro vibe.
The song is by PolyphonicBranch (aka Polifo) and was released in March 2023.
From the intro alone the momentum is incredible; it’s a piece where waves of sound keep crashing over you from start to finish.
The heavily distorted, gritty bass sounds amazing.
I bet many rock fans who like this kind of sound will love it.
It also matches the decadent worldview of the lyrics.
And yet.

KAFU’s singing voice retains a sharp, clear contour even amid these alternative textures—it’s seriously cool.
