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.

There are truly countless songs in the VOCALOID scene, but in this article, I’ve put together a selection of especially stylish tracks.

Of course, “stylish” means different things to different people, so I’ve tried to choose from a wide range of genres without drawing sharp boundaries.

So there should definitely be something in the style you like.

Check them all out to the end and find the number that moves your heart.

Boy and the Magical Robot - 40mP

This is the song that became a hot topic when a Vocaloid track was featured for the first time on NHK’s music program “Minna no Uta.” It’s a piece by 40mP, who has been active in the Vocaloid scene for many years.

The lyrics are highly narrative, and if you listen to the end, it’s truly moving.

Please take your time and give it a careful listen.

The bouncing beat and rapid-fire, phonetically pleasing lyrics make it irresistibly catchy, with a structure that rockets to the chorus in an instant—packed with addictive elements! The lyrics layer flavors and colors, revealing a tinge of longing and impulse beneath the cuteness.

A Vocaloid track that satisfies even in a short runtime and begs to be put on repeat!

NightfallIne

Nightfall / IA

Nightfall Ine

This song feels great with its crisp guitar sound and interwoven rhythms.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Ine, released in 2021.

The well-balanced sound work is truly Ine’s forte.

Despite its cutting-edge structure and chord progressions, the approachable sonic texture makes it a catchy piece.

The lyrics are another highlight, conjuring up a movie-like storyline in your mind.

What kind of relationship do the two characters have, I wonder? How about listening to it at night, in a quiet moment?

Telephone Booth by the SeaMIMI

Seaside Phone Booth / feat. Otomachi Una SV

Seaside Telephone Box MIMI

This song by the Vocaloid producer MIMI, known for a translucent style, was released in October 2025.

Otomachi Una SV’s clear, crystalline voice drifts over a piano so evocative you can almost hear the waves.

The lyrics, which yearn for a precious person far away, are nostalgic and tinged with a touch of melancholy.

Yet there’s also a subtle warmth of hope—so quintessentially MIMI.

On nights when you want to be honest about your feelings for someone, lend it a quiet ear.

Graffiti / ZLMS feat. Hatsune Miku (ZIG, Ryo-Ryo, Harumaki Gohan, Yunosuke)

Graffiti ZLMS

A collaborative project by four Vocaloid producers—Jig, Liao-Liao, Harumaki Gohan, and Yuunosuke—ZLMS has released a music video for this track.

It’s included on their first album, “ZLMS,” released in August 2025.

Based on a demo by Yuunosuke, the song was produced with each member taking charge of drums, guitar, bass, and synth to build the sound.

The result is a stylish, richly textured sonic image.

The lyrics carry a passionate desire to capture this moment and dash toward the future—a high-energy Vocaloid song.

r-906 – Manimani 2025 Edit (feat. Hatsune Miku)

Manimani 2025 Editr-906

An energetic track where the overwhelming drive of drum and bass melds with a traditional Japanese aesthetic.

Crafted by r-906, this piece is slated for release in October 2025.

The original version, released in 2022, is the work that took first place in the Spring 2020 VOCALOID Collection (VocaColle) rankings.

Its sound pressure and arrangement have been further refined, and the structure—building from an extended instrumental section into a sudden, liberating drop—is electrifying.

Just imagining this track blasting at a live venue or a major event is enough to get you hyped!

landmarknasoni

Landmark – Flower

A landmark Nasoni.

A cycle of repeated self-denial and nihilism unfolds, along with the heart’s cry as it struggles to break free.

Released by Nasoni in October 2025, this track is a dance tune marked by a jazzy piano that leaves a strong impression.

The stylish sound pairs beautifully with Flower’s buoyant, springy vocals.

Many listeners will likely resonate with the lyrics’ portrayal of a protagonist leading a world-weary life yet continuing to seek salvation somewhere.

It especially hits home when you’re in an introspective mood.
