I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When it comes to music that sets the tone for a school culture festival, you want something that can really hype up the crowd, right?

In this article, we’ve gathered Vocaloid songs that will perfectly energize this major event packed with students’ youth.

From classic catchy tracks to songs where the lyrics take center stage, we’ve curated a wide variety.

Of course, it’s also great as a reference for choosing background music for the venue.

By the way, if you’re planning to cover a Vocaloid song with a band or perform a dance on stage, try searching the song title along with “演奏してみた” (tried playing) or “踊ってみた” (tried dancing) on YouTube—you’ll find tons of helpful videos!

Gimme×GimmeHachioji P × Giga

Hachioji-P × Giga “Gimme×Gimme feat. Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Rin”

Gimme×Gimme Hachioji-P × Giga

It’s electric music that makes you feel as if you’re in a club right now.

The track—released in 2019—sparked buzz as a collaboration between two popular Vocaloid producers, Hachioji-P and Giga.

The flow combines the best of laid-back and powerful, and the mature, dangerous lyrics are irresistibly cool.

The lyrics are from a female perspective, but I recommend it to both men and women.

In fact, I’d especially love for people who haven’t listened to much Vocaloid to give it a try.

So go ahead and play it at a school culture festival or campus festival, where there are bound to be folks like that.

Haraguchi’s track “Hito Mania” is a piece you’ll get hooked on and can’t escape from, thanks to its innovative sound.

Its distinctive sound design—shaped by glitch house and YMO influences—stands out, weaving odd-meter rhythms with irregular sound effects and catchy melodies into a highly addictive song.
