I want to perform Vocaloid songs with an acoustic guitar! A collection of recommended tracks for beginners
These days, there are many people who started playing instruments because of Vocaloid songs.
Just by watching cover bands and acoustic cover arrangements on video sites, you can tell how many people are into it.
So in this article, I’ve compiled a list of Vocaloid songs you can play on acoustic guitar!
I think it’ll be especially helpful for beginners when choosing songs.
By the way, a simple trick to make singing and playing easier is to use an accessory called a capo.
With a capo, you can sometimes avoid having to finger difficult chords.

I want to do acoustic guitar covers of Vocaloid songs! A list of recommended tracks for beginners (1–10)
to liveMizuno Atsu
This is a Vocaloid song that stays close to your melancholic feelings.
Atsu Mizuno’s “Ikiru,” released in 2021 and featuring KAFU as the vocalist, is a work with a transparent sound and a sentimental singing voice—the harmony between them is truly remarkable.
The lyrics are also compelling, especially for teenagers, as they seem to let out the honest feelings we usually keep bottled up.
If you’re carrying around a haze in your heart, why not learn to perform this song yourself and use it to express how you feel?
Loophole RockNeru
Once you can play a few songs, try tackling Neru’s “Dappou Rock” on acoustic guitar.
Being able to play it should help you break through a barrier.
If you’re fairly used to chord changes, you’ll be fine.
Enjoy the rhythmic phrases! It’s a great number for anyone looking for a song to perform solo at live shows.
NiaNatsushiro Takaaki
Takaaki Natsushiro’s “Nia” is a work released in 2017.
With its refreshing soundscape—featuring light, airy piano tones and emotional guitar sounds—it’s a Vocaloid track that feels cleansing to the soul.
The lyrics, centered around questions posed to the robot Nia, also carry a warmth that’s truly wonderful.
By the end, you’re left with the feeling of having watched an entire movie.
If you want to learn chords with a slightly chic resonance—different from major and minor chords—definitely give this one a try.

My godHanyū Maigo
If you want to try a stylish song, how about this one? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Hanyuu Maigo, known for hits like “A-un no Beats,” released in 2024.
It was written specifically for the mobile game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” The narrative-rich lyrics and airy sonic texture create an outstanding sense of immersion.
It may sound difficult, but the chords used are actually quite simple—just be mindful of the key change in the latter half.
This might be a good chance to learn how to play without using a capo.
Tinplate DanceHinata Denkō
Addictively irresistible—a monumental pillar of Vocaloid rock! Hinata Denkou’s “BURIKI NO DANCE” was released in 2013.
Its high-speed progression becomes more and more addictive the more you listen; before you know it, your body starts keeping the beat on its own.
A distinctive feature of this song is that many sections, like the A melody, are built on a single chord.
While the simplicity demands technique in “how to express the song’s world,” the fact that there are fewer chords to memorize is a relieving factor, isn’t it?
Solar System DiscoNayutan Seijin
A Vocaloid song that makes you want to throw your fist in the air and sing along! NayutalieN’s “Solar System Disco” was released in 2017.
It’s an irresistibly catchy dance-rock-style love song.
The melody is so catchy that once you hear it, it won’t leave your head.
In the final key change, all the chords go up by a half step, so there are quite a lot of chords to memorize.
But that only happens if you try to play it with an “easy arrangement using a capo.” If you learn it with barre chords from the start, even when it modulates, only your fret positions change—the actual finger shapes you use to press the strings stay the same.
This is the perfect chance to master barre chords!
Dawn and Firefliesn-buna
This is a song composed by n-buna, who is currently active with the band Yorushika.
As the title suggests, it has a unique melody and lyrics that feel calm like the moments before dawn, yet carry an atmosphere of awakening.
The song itself exudes a truly acoustic vibe, making it an excellent match for acoustic guitar.
