Dust trailNoz.
If you like fast-paced, exhilarating rock, give this a listen! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Noz., known for works like “Hedgehog” and “Seimeigaku,” released in March 2023.
It participated in the 2023 Spring VocaColle TOP 100 ranking.
The guitar riffs are cool from start to finish, and the band sound—imbued with a touch of grit—really amps you up.
It aligns perfectly with the bittersweet, melancholic world of the lyrics.
And the sing-along that kicks in after the second chorus will make you want to join in!
DappleOLDUCT
“Dapple,” produced by OLDUCT, who debuted as a Vocaloid producer in 2023.
It’s a track that highlights the affinity between Vocaloids—who deliver mechanical singing voices—and robots.
The opening phrase, built from onomatopoeia, symbolizes a robot created as a machine, and the lyrics unfold in a conversational style among Kaai Yuki, Hatsune Miku, and Adachi Rei.
Their discussion about the evolving relationship between humans and robots and the coming future leaves a strong impression.
The electro sound, which leverages synth tones and sound effects, further expands the imagery of robots throughout the piece.
DaammmmmnnnnnnPIPPO
The rhythm is striking, as if it’s walking forward slowly and steadily, step by step.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer PIPPO, released in 2020.
Built on a band sound, the piece unfolds with a dynamically resonant piano tone that lingers in the heart.
Despite its warm musical mood, the lyrics are pessimistic.
Singing about an unreachable future over a catchy melody—the combination, that gap, really gets you.
It might even prompt you to reflect on your own life.
DianaPaul Anka
This classic song was written and composed by Paul Anka in 1957, and became a hit with his own recording.
“Diana” was also a hit in Japan during the rockabilly boom, with Japanese-language versions released by Keijiro Yamashita and Akira Hirao.
Among oldies, it’s relatively easy to remember and sing, so it’s recommended for beginners.
Daft PunkPentatonix
Pentatonix’s masterpiece “Daft Punk.” Among the songs I’m introducing this time, this is by far the most difficult.
That’s because, even looking across the world, there are extremely few people who can sing it straight through in a single take without editing.
For the record, I’ve never seen anyone on YouTube or elsewhere perform it perfectly all the way through.
Its difficulty comes above all from the wide vocal range and the precision of pitch required.
With four vocalists singing, the highs and lows of the vocal lines are overwhelming.
On top of that, the high and low parts alternate back and forth, which makes the song even more challenging.
Dance, Dance, DancePeople In The Box
It’s a pleasant track whose sound evokes the scenery of a foreign land.
The expansive vocals, the enigmatic lyrics, and the gently flowing atmosphere blend together to create a curious feeling.
It’s a song that makes you want to sing along while carefully listening to the lyrics and reflecting on them.
DIVER#2100R.A.M
“DIVER#2100,” used as the opening theme for the robot anime Dennō Bōkenki Webdiver, features lyrics by the renowned songwriter Nemuko Oikawa, who has also written for artists such as Takajin Yashiki.
As befits a boys’ robot anime, the song is crafted with an exhilarating, invigorating tone.
