Special Feature on Overseas Vocaloid Producers: A Guide to Western Vocaloid Music (English, German, etc.)

Two of a KindGHOST

【Otomachi Una】Two of a Kind【Original Song】

A track by GHOST, a music producer who also wears the hats of illustrator and video editor.

From the hollow mood of the first verse to the heavy, rousing chorus, it carves out a distinctive atmosphere.

The structure, where noise-like sounds intrude and the audio gradually returns, further amplifies the song’s ominous vibe, drawing listeners into its world.

The ExperimentSteampianist

Steampianist with TriAxis – The Experiment – Feat. Vocaloid Gumi

An intro where high-pitched piano and a ground-crawling rhythm create a sense of weight.

From there, the rising tension into a chorus that feels dark yet liberating is masterfully done—a superb Vocaloid track.

Since it avoids the extreme pitch jumps and rapid-fire delivery common in many Vocaloid songs, it becomes a cohesive piece that draws your attention not just to the melody but to the entire track.

CONSUMPTIONKyohei Kitazawa

CONSUMPTION / Kyohei Kitazawa feat. Hatsune Miku

You’ll be drawn into a decadent worldview.

It’s a track by Kyohei Kitazawa, a Vocaloid producer from Romania, released in 2020.

Although it’s a song by an overseas Vocaloid producer, the lyrics are entirely in Japanese.

Miku’s delicate, ephemeral vocals fit perfectly with the dark, brooding track, making for a very cool result.

You can also sense elements of hip-hop.

And I imagine many listeners will relate to the lyrics, which convey a desperate, sorrowful desire to throw everything away.

My Little LadyAdyS

【GUMI ENG】 My Little Lady (Original Song)

The title means “My Lady.” At first it seems like a tune you’d hear on a carousel, but the bass comes in right away, giving it a cool vibe.

In the middle it shifts to a completely different style, and that contrast is part of the song’s charm.

Dummy Marchmomocashew

[Oliver・Kagamine Len] Dummy March [Original Song]

The title means “March of the Impostors.” It’s a Halloween song, so it has a touch of strangeness, and the combination with the distinctive upbeat tempo of a march is addictive.

The Japanese translation of the lyrics is also startling, making it a song you can enjoy from every angle.

Spectaclenostraightanswer

nostraightanswer – Spectacle (feat. DAINA)

How about some inorganic, stylish electronic music? This track is by North Straight Answer, a Vocaloid producer who also worked under the name Kenji-B.

The lyrics, which reflect on the phenomenon of people you don’t know listening to something you created, may resonate especially with fellow creators.

The sound has a strong, powerful presence yet feels cohesive overall, leaving a pleasant impression on the ears.

It’s a cool number that lets you immerse yourself fully in a sea of sound.

It’s Our FaultVeeroos

Veeroos – It’s Our Fault [feat. Cyber Diva / Vocaloid]

A track by Polish artist Veeroos.

With a prominently heavy kick drum, offbeat hi-hat rhythm, and cleverly layered choruses, it becomes a characteristically VOCALOID, digitally rich song with depth.

It’s an addictive number that creates a floating atmosphere while maintaining a sense of weight.
