Idolish7: IDOLiSH7 - iDOLiSMILEToa

Toa – ID SMILE – ft. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin

A song by creator Toa, who began working as a Vocaloid producer in 2013 and has crafted numerous pieces using Hatsune Miku and other VOCALOIDs.

The composition features a catchy melody that immediately draws the ear, and the simple arrangement—eschewing unnecessary layers—brilliantly brings the vocal line to the forefront.

The sudden rhythm change in the pre-chorus (B section) feels natural yet elevates the overall energy of the track.

It’s easy to see why people call it a “god-tier” song—highly recommended among Vocaloid tracks.

PinocchioP – Even If I’m Not Loved, You’re Here feat. Hatsune Miku / Because You’re Here

A song by PinocchioP, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as an illustrator and character designer.

Although the lyrics are written from Hatsune Miku’s perspective, they carry a message that anyone who pursues what they love can relate to: “As long as there’s even one person who understands me, I can stay true to myself.” The crisp guitar cutting creates a refreshing sense of speed, and the pop, catchy melody that perfectly matches the lyrics lingers in your ears—an emotionally resonant number.

A blend of ennui and coolness—once it hooks you, you can’t escape—this is irresistible Vocalo-rock.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Inabakumori, who won over overseas Vocaloid fans with the smash hit “Lagtrain,” and it was released in 2018.

Despite its sense of speed, it feels different from an upper-tune, likely thanks to the understated melody and Yuki’s whispery vocals.

And the arrangement—centered on two chords that create a wide dynamic range, as heard in the intro—deserves nothing but admiration for its finesse.
