Give me back my main (one)/true love■37
An impressive electronic tune where a sense of floating and loneliness intersect.
Created by ■37, this work was released in September 2024.
The vocal work featuring Kasane Teto SV, Hatsune Miku, and IA is distinctive.
Riding on a sound with a unique sense of rhythm, a cutting-edge worldview unfolds.
It feels like a portrayal of late summer in a way that is quintessentially ■37.
If you’re seeking a music experience unlike any before, why not give it a listen first?
overwritingIyowa
A piece released by Iyowa in August 2024, featuring Hatsune Miku and Hanakuma Chifuyu whose almost-tearing voices really hit you in the chest.
The lyrics, which depict “overwriting” faded memories, are striking.
The layered harmonies and unstable melodies brilliantly convey intense emotional turbulence.
Recommended for anyone with unforgettable memories from their youth—I’m sure it will resonate.
By Your Sidefin
The beautiful soundscape that feels like it stretches on forever puts my mind at ease.
“Kimi no Tonari,” produced by Vocaloid producer fin, is a ballad released in July 2024.
It unfolds with piano and bell tones at its core, and in the latter half, string arrangements join in.
The deep, rich sound blends beautifully with the vocals that drop words as if gently letting them fall.
The fragile worldview of the lyrics—“I’m tired, so let’s rest together.
While we do, I’d like to hear your story”—also suits it perfectly.
Every one of fin’s works touches the heartstrings.
Night FlightΔ
There’s something about listening to it at the end of summer that will resonate especially deeply.
“Night Flight,” a track by Δ a.
k.
a.
delta, was released in August 2023 and participated in the VOCALOID Collection Summer 2023 TOP 100 rankings.
Its rich, immersive soundscape is best enjoyed with earphones or headphones—each tone draws you in so much that you can’t help but recommend it that way.
The beauty of its worldbuilding will take your breath away.
And the insanely high-quality animated music video is a must-see!
polka dotsOLDUCT
A very peculiar Vocaloid track that blends a nostalgic, summer-festival vibe with futuristic soundscapes.
Composed by OLDUCT, it was released during VocaColle 2023 Summer in August 2023.
It’s a work with a Japanese aesthetic and an electronica touch, where each sound feels crisp and satisfying.
It both lifts your spirits and soothes you at the same time, and I think the impression it gives can shift depending on the listener and their mood in the moment.
Before you know it, you might find yourself singing along.

fireflyPENGUINS PROJECT
You’ll be drawn in by the timbre that sounds like it’s being played in reverse and the somewhat Japanese-style arrangement.
The track is by the music unit PENGUINS PROJECT, consisting of Shishunki-P and Hatsune Miku.
It was released in 2010.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy a dreamy atmosphere.
You’ll find yourself humming the chorus before you know it.
Bottom of the Nightgomezkei
The summer night sea feels somehow mysterious, doesn’t it? This song fits that image perfectly.
It’s by the Vocaloid producer gomezkei, also known for “Colorful World.” It was released on Niconico in 2009.
The gentle soundscape and Hatsune Miku’s soft voice are soothing.
