Love-Emotion UnderachieverKairiki Bear

[Official] AI-love Inferior Student / Kairiki Bear feat. Kagamine Rin

A song by Kairiki Bear, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as a composer and guitarist.

With a melody featuring dramatic leaps in pitch and a wide vocal range, it distills the essence of VOCALOID music while carrying a wistful tone.

The structure is thrilling as the interlude shifts into a heavy, metal-like mood before returning to the original style, and the stark contrasts in the arrangement tighten the piece as a whole.

It’s a true masterpiece—equally enjoyable to savor in a focused listen or to belt out at karaoke.

It includes spoken lines, making it feel like a single story and allowing for deep emotional immersion.

The upbeat tempo curiously matches the sorrowful lyrics.

The Iron Maiden and the Dreamy Princess / Jorjin

Many people are surely fans of this eerie worldview.

This piece, created by Jorujin—also known as Dark Fairy Tale P—and released in 2020, has a very catchy tone and melody, but if you follow the lyrics, you’ll sense the horror.

Its subject is the historical figure Elizabeth Báthory… though I can’t recommend looking her up.

Still, it’s a highly original Vocaloid track that only Jorujin could elevate in this way.

Cinema / Hatsune Miku

A song by Ayase, a Vocaloid producer who also works as the composer of the duo YOASOBI.

It’s the Vocaloid version of a track written specifically for the in-game unit Vivid BAD SQUAD in the mobile game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku, and it features the catchy yet intricate piano phrases that are a YOASOBI trademark.

There’s a lot to enjoy precisely because it’s VOCALOID—like the breathless, rapid-fire melodies and the bassline that creates a powerful swell—but above all, its exceptionally catchy, pop-oriented feel is outstanding.

It’s a modern, thrilling number that fully earns its reputation as a “god-tier” track.
