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.
Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

In this article, we’ve picked out Vocaloid songs that even piano beginners can tackle with ease.

From nostalgic classics to recent hits, they’re all here!

Hajimete no Otomalo

Hatsune Miku: “Hajimete no Oto (Full Version)”

[Hajimete no Oto] I tried playing Hatsune Miku!! 4th grader

A heartrending ballad whose lyrics express emotions unique to a non-existent Vocaloid, tightening your chest as you listen.

While upbeat, catchy tracks are great, many Vocaloid fans also love simple, soul-soaking songs like “Hajimete no Oto.” When played on piano, the ballad qualities are further emphasized, transforming it into a tear-jerking piece.

Since the original arrangement is quite simple, it’s also recommended for beginner pianists.

Try performing it quietly and gently, so as not to stir up any waves.

The true identity of Hachi, the creator of “Matryoshka,” is the hugely popular artist Kenshi Yonezu! Before working under the name Kenshi Yonezu, he began posting Vocaloid videos and has continued to release new tracks consistently.

“Matryoshka” is a high-energy song with a driving, relentless rhythm, so you’ll want to raise the tempo to some extent when playing it on piano.

Practice each hand separately first—keeping a steady bass line in the left hand while layering a light, agile right hand—then try putting them together.

There’s a unique charm to piano performances of Vocaloid songs.
