[From Classics to the Latest] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Masterpieces and Legendary Tracks!

All things are in fluxNuyuri

Nuyuri – Transmigration of All Things / flower: Panta Rhei

Nuyuri is active as a Vocaloid producer and singer-songwriter.

One of his works that instantly went viral is “Banbutsu Ruten.” The title expresses a philosophical concept that, put simply, means “nothing remains in the same state.” In the song, the protagonist, who is on the verge of being crushed by painful experiences, is portrayed as trying to move forward.

In other words, it may suggest that sad feelings, too, cannot remain the same forever.

Electric Angel (feat. Hatsune Miku)

Combining a driving rhythm with a wistful melodic line, this is Yasuo-P’s “Electric Angel.” Hatsune Miku’s voice library was released on August 31, 2007, and the short version of this song was uploaded on October 1, 2007.

Although it’s no longer available to listen to now, another version had been released even before that—meaning this is one of the works that truly helped shape the very beginning of the Vocaloid scene.

Listening to it not only brings back the excitement around Vocaloid but also evokes the broader internet boom centered on Nico Nico Douga.

The winner of the Rookie division at VocaColle Summer 2023 was Kaicha’s “Odo Robo.” It’s a track with an appealing festival-like vibe in both its melody and lyrics, comically depicting robots enjoying a dance.

The interspersed humorous lines highlight the charm of the characters as well.

Another highlight is the abundance of homages to past popular songs.

The more of a Vocaloid fan you are, the more it’ll make you grin.

Codependence - flower -

A stylish and funky, cool Vocaloid track.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Chiitana, known for popular works like “Sukitte Itte” and “Torigirl,” released in 2020.

With a stylish band sound embellished by piano and bell tones, it carries a subtle sense of shadow.

The lyrics, which portray the precarious relationship between “you” and “me,” have real depth and make you want to delve into them.

I can’t help but wonder—what will happen to these two in the end.

Lie – Kasane Teto

While rooted in alternative rock, this piece incorporates fragile piano melodies and elements of electronica, delivering an impressive, delicate depiction of emotion.

Centered on themes of lies and truth, trust and betrayal, it expresses wavering feelings through Teto Kasane’s soft yet powerful vocals.

Created by Amegura in May 2025, the track quickly captured the hearts of many listeners.

Incidentally, its predecessor, “Dai Dai Dai Dai Dai Kirai,” became a major hit, surpassing 10 million streams in just 40 days.

It’s a song to listen to when you’re holding a secret you can’t tell anyone, or when you’re struggling with inner conflict—one that is sure to quietly stay by your side.
