I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Schrödinger Sugar / Hatsune Miku

Schrödinger Sugaya Yamagishi Koji

A scientific yet pop love song that overlays the ambiguity of romance with a quantum mechanics thought experiment! It’s a track by Koji Yamagishi, released in June 2024.

The song’s charm lies in its bright, sparkling tone infused with the essence of funk music.

The lyrics are sprinkled with metaphors of love, and the more you listen, the more it puts you in a romantic mood! I think it will especially resonate with teenagers!

[Official/Sub] Delusional Narcissist [GUMI & GUMIYA] — Mousou narushisuto / A Wild, Fancy Narcissist

Delusional narcissist Becky.

This is a duet song by GUMI and GUMIYA (a lower, more masculine version of GUMI’s voice).

It packs into one track the story of a slightly narcissistic boy who aggressively pursues a tsundere girl.

The fast-paced, anime-opening-style sound is the kind that perks you up when you listen to it.

MarbleR Sound Design

An elegant Vocaloid track where the piano’s timbre rings out.

It’s a song by R Sound Design, a Vocaloid producer known for a high-sense, original musical style, released in 2016.

The piece was created with White Day as its motif, and marble chocolates make an appearance in the lyrics.

The sound arrangement, which lets you savor cuteness and a mysterious fragility at the same time, is quintessential R Sound Design.

It’s a calm track that’s perfect for listening to when you’re alone.

Thinking of You All Night Long – TOKOTOKO (Nishizawa-sanP) feat. GUMI

Thinking of You All Through the Night TOKOTOKO

“Yomosugara Kimi Omou” is a perfect song to give as a White Day return gift.

It’s crafted by a stellar team: lyrics and composition by Vocaloid producer Nishizawa-san, mixing by Tomodachi Boshuu-san, and encoding by 7@-san.

The track is packed with each creator’s charm and, rare for a Vocaloid song, has a rock flavor.

Set to a driving, exhilarating melody, the lyrics celebrate the joy of mutual feelings.

I hope you’ll listen to it together and bask in the happiness.

[Official] Darling Dance / Kairiki Bear feat. Hatsune Miku

Darling Dance by Kairiki Bear

If you’re feeling anxious about your unrequited love, I recommend listening to “Darling Dance.” It’s a song that portrays the struggles of a woman who can’t get the attention of the man she likes.

With its very high tempo and intense melody, it naturally lifts your spirits as you listen.

The track is by the Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear and uses Hatsune Miku.

Incidentally, the song also became a hot topic when Ado covered it.

It’s fun to compare the versions.

[Miku Hatsune] SPiCa [VOCALOID Hatsune Miku PV]

SPiCa by Toku-P

It’s a grand love song that sings with the hope of having one’s feelings returned.

Created by professional musician Hironori Abe, also known as Toku-P, who has provided songs to numerous famous artists, it was released in 2009.

The arrangement—band sound colored by the beautiful tones of synths, strings, and piano—has real depth.

The lyrics, which liken the patterns of romance to stars, are also wonderful.

Some of you may be thinking of confessing your feelings on White Day.

If you listen to this song, it will surely give you the courage to speak up.

[GUMI] Heartbreak Repeater [Original PV] / Takanon [Official]

Heartbreak Repeater Takanon

GUMI’s simple, down-to-earth vocals and the relatable, “I’ve been there!” unrequited love episodes heighten the feeling of romance.

As the title suggests, it also weaves in stories of heartbreak, but it’s a powerful track that carries the message that you have to overcome it and change—that staying the same won’t do.
