Cherry Blossom Rainhalyosy

halyosy – Sakura no Ame feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s extremely popular and has been adapted into both a novel and a film.

I imagine many people have heard it as a graduation song.

Every time I listen to it, memories of school come flooding back, and I can picture cherry blossom petals fluttering in the air.

It’s a song that evokes nostalgia with a touch of melancholy.

World Is Mineryo

【Hand-Drawn】World is Mine【PV】

When it comes to Vocaloid, many people are sure to name this one: “World is Mine” by ryo.

It also drew attention for being used in a Toyota commercial.

The illustration was done by redjuice.

The song portrays a willful young lady, expressing shifts in her emotions.

Its charm lies in its cuteness and endearing clumsiness.

MöbiusHiiragi Kirai

Möbius / HIIRAGI Kirai feat. flower

My heart won’t stop pounding at the soundscape that makes it feel like a hefty “something” is slowly closing in.

This track by Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, known for his dark style, was released in 2020.

With its unpredictable song structure and noisy vocals, it’s Kirai Hiiragi’s world in full force—an insanely cool piece.

It gives the impression of leaping over genre boundaries like rock, jazz, and dubstep.

By the way, this is a self-cover Vocaloid version of a song originally provided to the singer Meichan.

Comet HoneymoonNayutan Alien

Comet Honeymoon – Nayutan Seijin ft. Hatsune Miku OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

It’s a single-minded love song that sings, “I want to go with you to the ends of the universe.” Created by the Vocaloid producer Nayutalien, who came from outer space, it was released in 2017.

It incorporates Chinese-style sounds and timbres, giving it a distinctly oriental finish.

The easy-to-listen yet cool melody line matches the overall tone perfectly.

The word choices in the lyrics are so characteristically Nayutalien—and truly adorable.

It’s a dance-rock Vocaloid track that I’d highly recommend for karaoke.

Feast of NonsensePinocchioP

PinocchioP – Nonsensical Banquet feat. Hatsune Miku / Tonchinkan Feast

From the intro to the very end, every slice of it is captivating—a Vocaloid track through and through.

Created by multi-creator PinocchioP, who also handles the illustrations and video, it was released in 2015.

The song brims with humor, using interactions at an izakaya as its theme.

Yet as you follow the lyrics, it carries a depth that makes you ponder, “What is life, anyway?” The stylish electronic sound built around the bass drum’s rhythm is also seriously cool.

It’s a masterpiece that rewards both careful listening and lyrical analysis.

ODDS&ENDSryo

ryo (supercell) feat. Hatsune Miku – ODDS&ENDS

These songs by ryo, who works across a wide range from Vocaloid tracks to anime songs and J-POP, are outstanding.

The lyrics, brimming with love for Hatsune Miku, pair beautifully with the wistful melodies.

I especially recommend them to people in creative fields who’ve hit a wall.

They’ll definitely lift your spirits and help you move forward.

Neru – Becoming Potatoes (potatoになっていく) feat. Kagamine Rin & Kagamine Len

This is a song included in the game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” Created by Neru—also known for “Lost One’s Weeping” and “Law-evading Rock”—it was released in 2020.

With its bright, funky sound, it’s a stylish number that feels great to listen to.

The lyrics, which compare an unexpected future to potatoes, are highly unique.

Be sure to give this addictive track a listen—you won’t be able to stop hitting repeat.
