Songs that start with 'Vu'. For shiritori, karaoke, and playlist selection.
In this article, I’ll be introducing lots of Vocaloid songs whose titles start with the katakana “ヴ.”
When it comes to words starting with “ヴ” that might be used in song titles, examples include “Venus” (ヴィーナス), “Vampire” (ヴァンパイア), and “Vintage” (ヴィンテージ).
If you’re familiar with plenty of Japanese songs, a few tracks probably came to mind as soon as you saw these words.
This time, I’ve selected a wide range—from famous hits to hidden gems—so please enjoy discovering both classics and songs you might not know yet.
Feel free to use this as inspiration for shiritori with song titles, as well as for choosing tracks for karaoke or your playlists.
Songs that start with “Vu.” Useful for shiritori, karaoke, and playlist picks (1–10)
VenusNEW!Yuriyan Retriever
An assertive track that hurls discomfort with lookism onto a danceable beat.
Yuriyan Retriever’s second single, released in September 2025, is a message song that squarely challenges the trend of judging people by appearance alone.
Co-created with trackmaker yonkey, its danceable sound meshes perfectly with bold, defiant word choices.
The music video, directed by Kenji Sonoda, uses a simple approach that lingers on every move, letting the viewer take it all in.
Through the screen, the will and beauty that transcend surface-level evaluation quietly seep through.
Having conquered numerous comedy award circuits—including becoming the inaugural THE W champion and winning the R-1 Grand Prix—she now delivers a declaration of self-affirmation on a new artistic stage.
It’s a number for anyone who feels swayed by others’ gazes in daily life or wants to reclaim their true self.
VIVID VICENEW!Who-ya Extended
A high-speed rock tune where razor-sharp guitars slice through the darkness and intertwine with electronic sounds.
This piece was written specifically as the opening theme for cour 2 of the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
The lyrics convey an earnest determination to move forward on one’s own feet, even while bearing inner conflict and pain.
And Who-ya’s passionate vocals are truly gripping.
Try expressing that exhilarating feeling—like your field of vision suddenly opens up in the chorus—with your own voice!
VampireNEW!IVY
iVy is an alternative pop unit based in Tokyo—a standout female duo formed in 2023 by fuki and pupu.
Embracing a concept centered on fictional characters, they included this track on their album Appetite in Disarray, released in June 2025.
Using a vampire who does not thirst for blood as its motif, the song delicately portrays urban solitude and a heart as hollow as a marble.
Shoegaze-inspired roaring guitars fuse with sweet, airy vocals, creating a fragile allure that fizzes and vanishes like carbonation bubbles.
In August 2025, they held their first solo show at Shibuya WWW, achieving great success.
It’s perfect for a quiet night when you want to face yourself, or when you’d like to drift a little away from reality and sink into a dreamlike mood.
Vapor RoadNEW!cephalo
An exceptionally dreamy yet noisy alternative number.
Amid the loud, roaring guitars, vocalist Fuki’s crystal-clear voice melts in, creating a beautiful yet unsettling resonance that’s utterly addictive.
The lyrics, like an escape into the fog from a stifling everyday life, are sure to strike a deep chord with those of us living in the present.
It’s a track from Tokyo-based cephalo’s second EP, “gloaming point,” released in November 2025, and it was also featured as an in-film song in the short movie “gloaming point.” The project has drawn attention for having Slowdive’s Simon Scott handle the mastering.
Highly recommended for anyone craving a cinematic sense of immersion or fans of overseas indie rock.
ViolininaNEW!Komiya Coffee
A poignant song that celebrates the joy and bittersweetness of growth through a farewell to the violin.
Created by Kafi Komiya and released in November 2025, it features classical motifs and reflects the protagonist’s delicate emotions, shaped by a life walked alongside music since childhood.
Dreams seen with a tiny violin, the premonition of a farewell that will come someday, and the courage to keep moving forward nonetheless.
This is a piece that will resonate with everyone who has earnestly faced music—or any pursuit—with sincerity.

It’s a piece of fantastic rock where a dreamlike exotic mood intertwines with a grand orchestral sound! Created by the Vocaloid producer Nanahoshi Orchestra, it was released in June 2024 as the official theme song for Megurine Luka’s 15th anniversary.
Through symbolic motifs like the sea, wind, and seashells, it tells a story of memory and birth, of distance and attraction.
It blends folk-like gentleness with symphonic power, and together with Luka’s clear, translucent vocals, it evokes a mystical atmosphere.
It’s a perfect track to wrap up the year or to reset your mood!
VirginityNMB48
Released in August 2012 as the artist’s fifth single, this is an emotionally rich love song.
It captures the moment of transition from girl to woman, expressing the protagonist’s feelings as she senses that even a single kiss can lead to the loss of something.
The track is also characterized by a melody reminiscent of 1980s Japanese pop and a lush arrangement featuring strings and keyboards.
Perfect for those who want to savor the bittersweetness of love or revisit their youthful days.
