merry bad endMafumafu
It’s a rock tune with a dark worldview that kicks off with a suspicious-sounding guitar riff.
Created by the popular singer Mafumafu, who even performed at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen, it was released in 2018.
As noted in the video description, it was produced around the theme of group psychology—specifically, “creating a common enemy to unite people.” Judging from the MV’s imagery as well, it might especially resonate with middle and high school students who can relate it to their own experiences.
It’s an addictive song where fear and coolness intersect, driven by an irresistible sense of speed.
New BreedMarasy × Jin × Akita Horie (kemu)
This is a hugely popular piece that proudly took first place in the TOP 100 ranking of VocaColle Spring 2023! It’s an ultra-luxurious collaboration by pianist Marasy, Vocaloid producer Jin, and Shota Horie (kemu).
The lively, high-energy sound is delicious no matter where you slice it.
The playful melodies and lyrics are irresistible, too.
Rin’s crisp, sharp vocals hold their own perfectly against the dynamic arrangement.
It’s a track I’d recommend even to those who haven’t listened to Vocaloid songs in a while.
PagrioideaLa Ditz-san
It’s a Vocalo-rock track that makes you want to step along to the beat! Created by Vocaloid producer La Ditts, it was released in May 2023.
The razor-sharp guitar sound is irresistible! The powerful drums and heavily distorted bass are awesome too.
If you like Japanese rock, this will almost certainly hit home.
The lyrics feature words with great rhythm, and the energetic melody is another highlight.
I also think the touch of adding a sigh-like phrase at the end shows excellent taste.
slowdownerpotter's wheel
A rock number that’s irresistibly catchy and addictive within the first 30 seconds.
Vocaloid producer Rokuro’s signature track “Slow Downer” was released in 2018.
With its rhythmic melody line, razor-sharp guitar phrases, surging bass, and bouncing drums, there’s no reason fans of band-driven sounds wouldn’t get hooked.
The chorus explodes brilliantly, contrasting effectively with the verse and pre-chorus to deliver a refreshing rush.
It’s a Vocaloid song that keeps your eyes—no, your ears—glued right up to the very end.

The sharp, tight band sound is absolutely thrilling! If you enjoy playing instruments as a hobby, you’ll probably want to try playing it yourself.

ForbiddenNanahoshi Orchestra
The gothic-tinged tone and bewitching vocals are so cool! It’s a track by Nanahoshi Orchestra, the Vocaloid producer also known as Riku Iwami, released in June 2023.
I think it’s a work packed full of the appeal of the ROSE voice library! Its powerful vocal timbre shines in the highly dramatic sound.
It somehow feels like turning the pages of a book that tells a grand, mysterious story.
It also has elements of EDM and rock, so definitely give it a deep listen!
