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

The New ERAYZYX

The New ERA (feat. GUMI & CYBER DIVA) 【VOCALOID Original Song】- YZYX

A track by the Chilean music producer YZYX, known for creating crossover genres with VOCALOID.

It’s a number that evokes a mysterious and majestic image, fitting for a title that means “a new era.” Although it’s under three minutes long, its concentrated world grips the listener’s heart and draws them into the song’s story with a curious allure.

Skillfully leveraging VOCALOID’s impassive vocals, it is perhaps a piece whose mechanical nature makes it all the more beautiful.

ReportMarvyanaka

‘Report’ original song feat. Cyber Diva (fanmade S.U. song)

A track by Marvyanaka, a music producer from Poland.

By applying additional effects to the already digital VOCALOID vocals, it achieves an even more mechanical sound.

The interlude features koto tones that can be heard as a Japanese-style melody; the rhythm then doubles in speed before returning to the vocals, creating a structure that keeps listeners engaged.

ASTHMAReoni☆

【VOCALOID Original】 Asthma 【GUMI English ft. Megurine Luka】

A heavy Vocaloid track that ramps up the tension with inorganic VOCALOID vocals, fear-inducing timbres, and a structure that gradually builds a sense of speed.

Despite progressing mostly over the same chord progression, the shifting feel keeps it expressive, and the slight change in chords partway through creates an addictive sense of tension.

Little DarlingMOROS

(VOCALOID ORIGINAL) Little Darling (Kagamine Rin English)

The title means “beloved person, someone who’s a little on your mind.” A music box-like sound mainly leads the piece.

The lyrics are sung at a crisp, pleasant tempo, giving it a charm that makes you unable to stop listening, even if it feels a bit eerie.

The Girl I LovedModern Jazz Quartet

MJQ-P – The Girl I Loved ft. Kagamine Len (Original)

A song by MJQ, a Vocaloid producer living in the Philippines whose handle name is an abbreviation of Martin John Q.

With an arrangement composed mostly of just piano and strings, it features a gentle singing voice that makes you almost forget it’s VOCALOID, offering a soothing number with a charm distinct from Japanese Vocaloid tracks.

Situation Of MineMakku

【OLD Vocaloid Original】Situation Of Mine【DEX】

A thick, layered synth sound comes rolling in.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Makku, released in 2016.

This is a very cool electric tune, perfectly matched with the deep vocals of the VOCALOID English male voicebank DEX.

The build-up toward the latter half is thrilling and irresistible.

The lyrics convey a feeling like a mass of emotion: “You don’t know how I feel.” It’s an emotional message song that lays bare the depths of the heart, as if the feelings are overflowing without end.

Execution Girl ! ! !strovi

【Ryone Yami VCCV】 Execution Girl ! ! ! + UST/MIDI 【UTAU cover】

A track by music producer strovi, who announced in 2018 that he would cease activities as a Vocaloid producer.

It’s an irresistibly addictive number where hysterical, shuffle-driven guitar contrasts exquisitely with a flat, inorganic vocal delivery, and even the singing in the interlude sticks in your ears.
