“Atashi × I × MY∴Idealism” is a must-see work for Vocaloid fans.

This track was created by the Bokadewo 2023 participating team, the Grilled Strawberry Sushi Promotion Project, and gained attention thanks to a collaboration featuring singer Ado and Vocaloid producer Yurry Canon.

The lyrics, which vent raw anger, and the intense sound will shake listeners to the core.

Incidentally, Ado reportedly handled the tuning for Hatsune Miku.

Noisy / Capchii feat. MEIKO

“Boisterous,” produced in 2023 as an image song for MEIKO, who has been active since the dawn of the Vocaloid scene.

The track was created by Capchii, who is also known for providing songs to artists and working as a DJ.

Set to an electro beat with constantly shifting tempos, it showcases her versatile vocals.

The EDM-style sound with resonant low end layered with her lush voice creates an even deeper atmosphere.

It’s a Vocaloid track that conjures an image of her passionate drive to keep delivering songs into the future.

Warning Time / GUMI

Let me introduce “Warning Time,” a song that sticks in your head after just one listen.

Created by Vocaloid producer you-man for the anonymous submission event “Mushokutomeisai II,” this track has two major features: a sound built on a steady, repeating rhythm, and vocals that repeat the same notes.

That distinctive rhythm is highly addictive—likely a key reason it’s gone viral.

By the way, this release is the so-called Short version, which really makes you want to hear the full version soon.

Honto no – Kasane Teto

It has a worldview so captivating that once you listen, you might never escape.

This piece is by Sasuke Haraguchi, who made a name for himself with the hit “Hito Mania,” a song entered in Vocalo Collection 2023 Summer, and it was released in October 2023.

The soundscape feels like it’s been cut and pasted together—totally absorbing.

To fully savor its allure, I recommend using earphones or headphones.

You may find the volume mysteriously creeping up to max before you know it.

It’s enigmatic and avant-garde, yet undeniably catchy.

Kill Me, DarlingLike a fish

Kill Me, Darling / Kagamine Len

REISAI is a musical unit consisting of Azen Sakana—who is active across multiple fields including songwriting and composing—and Yopi, who mainly handles arrangement and guitar performance.

Their 2023 work “Kill Me Darling” is a track with a mature atmosphere that portrays a thrilling relationship with a loved one.

It depicts the emotions of facing the heartache and loneliness felt during nights spent with someone you love.

Centered around a surging bassline and airy synth tones, the song overflows with a glossy, immersive soundscape as a Vocaloid track.

Be sure to pay attention to Kagamine Len’s vocals, which superbly deliver the lyricism and narrative quality of the song.

Bakeneko Alley – Ren feat. Seikai

If you’re looking for a Japanese-style Vocaloid track, check this out right away! Created by Len, a Vocaloid producer also known for works like “Downer Witch” and “Kamiodoshi Kitan,” this song was released in February 2024.

The lyrics, centered on a shapeshifting bakeneko that tricks humans, blend cuteness with a hint of fear.

The laid-back sound arrangement pairs perfectly with Seikai’s husky vocals, creating a mysterious, floating sensation.

Imagine the story unfolding as you listen.

Ensemble OrléansJorujin

Ensemble Orléans / Jorujin

A song by the Vocaloid producer Jorujin, who has created many tracks that add a dark side to globally famous stories such as fairy tales, novels, and the Bible.

This piece is inspired by the legend of Joan of Arc—the very symbol of a soldier and savior in 15th-century France—and its depiction pierces the heart by focusing on the darker aspects of humanity, from the glory’s shadow grounded in historical fact to the tragic ending.

The dizzyingly shifting arrangement and heavy sound further emphasize the weight of the lyrics, making this Vocaloid number feel like watching a single film through the fusion of story and music.
