[Video and Music] A Stylish Vocaloid MV Showcase

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

When Vocaloid first started to become popular, it was common for videos to use a single still image.

Nowadays, there are many visually engaging works that make full use of animation, live-action footage, and 3D CGI.

Displaying lyrics in sync with the music has also become standard.

In the very early days, there were very few videos like that.

In this article, I’ve compiled Vocaloid songs whose music videos are irresistible to watch and show a clear dedication to visual craft.

Enjoy the world of VOCALOID with your eyes and ears!

MindEve Zekkai

This is “Mind Eve” by zekkai, who started posting in 2013.

You might find yourself addicted to the despair-filled lyrics.

The video, where a girl seems to be led by a demon, is also thought-provoking.

The worldbuilding—Hatsune Miku’s vocal tone, the accompaniment, and the video—has a great reputation for how well everything comes together.

Macaron ATOLS

Against a black-and-white-themed backdrop, colorful macarons float in midair.

ATOLS’s “Macaron” perfectly marries its understated musical tone with this staging.

Released in 2012, the meticulously crafted visuals that lock onto the rhythm are just undeniably cool.

It feels packed with two extremes of musicality—quietness and burning energy—compressed tightly together.

Kikuo – There Is Also a Labyrinth (Vocaloid ver.)

There is also a labyrinth, Kikuo.

This is the song “Soko ni wa Mata Meikyuu” by Kikuo, a Vocaloid producer known for a distinctive musical style that’s irresistibly addictive once you’re hooked.

It’s a hand-drawn-style 3D animated work that directly reflects the song’s worldview.

A girl makes her way through a dystopian-like place, and where she finally arrives is…

The title translates literally to “Mysterious Idea.” You can feel the feelings of IA and the creators who have produced so much music being carried in the title and lyrics.

Notably, it also samples Jin’s IA song “Summertime Record.”
