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!

Fonii Tsumiki

For those planning to perform with a band at a school-wide cultural festival, we recommend the Vocaloid song “Phony.” It was produced in 2021 by Tsumiki, a Vocaloid producer who also writes songs for utaite singers and idols.

The sensational melody riding on an uptempo rhythm is sure to make your heart skip a beat.

Four-on-the-floor drums and satisfying claps will get the audience moving.

Try tackling it with an ennui yet clear vocal tone like KAF’s.

If you’re unsure about transcribing by ear, searching for “tried playing it” or similar performance videos is recommended!
