A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

In May 2025, a fresh breeze is sweeping through the music scene.

From electro-pop born out of hololive to heartwarming city pop and message-driven songs that resonate with the soul, an astonishing variety of tracks has emerged.

From addictive numbers that poppily sing about glitches in love to warm songs reflecting on youth, each piece radiates its own unique charm.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the works of these richly individual artists.

You’re sure to find a song that strikes a chord in your heart!

This song questions what the world takes for granted and teaches the joy of imagination.
