How about a dynamic and dramatic Japanese-style Vocaloid track? It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Ko Shimizu, released in April 2023.

This is the third installment in the series titled “Fallen God Myth.” With powerful drums, it’s a cool, rock-flavored piece.

The highly narrative lyrics stand strong on their own and make for a compelling read.

By the way, it’s also related to the previously released “Despair Inoculation” series, so be sure to check that out too!

[Hatsune Miku × Tower of Saviors] Kinoshita – It's Magic Tune feat. Hatsune Miku [Original MV]

It's Magic Tune Kinoshita

Kinoshita, a Vocaloid producer who also creates illustrations to match his music, produced “It’s Magic Tune” in 2023 as a collaboration song between the mobile app Tower of Saviors and Hatsune Miku.

With lyrics that unfold a fantasy story themed around dreams and magic, the song features a lively pop melody that conveys a sense of fun.

Miku’s soaring vocals deliver courage and hope without losing her smile no matter the situation, showcasing her adorable charm.

It’s an uptempo track with a sound that feels like you’ve wandered into a magical world.

Utsu-P × Fuma no KTR – Rejection Reaction feat. Harui

Rejection Reaction Utsu-P × Fuma no KTR

You won’t be able to tear your ears away from the prickly, abrasive sound! It’s a striking work that fuses Utsu-P’s heavy production, Fuma no KTR’s razor-sharp rap, and Harui’s vocals, released in May 2024.

The hard metalcore sound begs to be blasted loud.

The weight of the low end and the relentless, pounding drive are top-notch.

The lyrics, depicting a rebellion against society’s urge to categorize, cut deep.

I’d especially recommend it to anyone who feels out of place in modern society.
