A collection of stylish Vocaloid songs: The moving world of VOCALOID

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.

Rum Raisin Pancake / apu3ra feat. Hatsune Miku

Rum raisin pancake Apurela

It’s a Vocaloid song with a curious charm: a soft, sweet fragrance seems to drift through it, yet it somehow tightens your chest.

Created by Vocaloid producer Aqu3ra under the name Apuera, it features Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals that feel as if they’re floating between dream and reality.

The lyrics compare sweet memories to desserts, but also express a sense of distance from those memories—“we can no longer touch what happened in the past”—and as you listen, you find yourself wrapped in a gentle sadness.

It’s perfect for nights when you want to quietly reflect on a love that has passed, or when you’d like to surrender your heart to a beautiful melody.

Guiano – baby (feat. Hatsune Miku)

baby guia no

It makes you want to snap your fingers to the beat.

It’s a song by Guianno, a Vocaloid producer also known for works like “Did I Die?” and “Superhero,” released in 2021.

The sound is simple yet profound, leaving a strong impression.

Even with so few layers, you never feel like anything is “missing.” And precisely because of that understated arrangement, the warm message in the lyrics—“I’ll stay by your side”—comes through in its entirety.

Its sonic image is like an analog record player.

If you enjoy lo-fi music, you should definitely give it a listen.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Picon, also known for “Garando,” released in 2019.

The relaxed rhythm and trembling brass tones are striking, and as you listen, you’ll feel your shoulders loosen.

Rather than overanalyzing the song’s meaning, just let your body surrender to the music—an airy, stylish Vocaloid number.

By the way, there’s also a version sung by Picon himself.

Maybe, a Dream / Kaai Yuki

Probably, Yume Satō Noko

This is a work by the Vocaloid producer Noko Sato, who has captivated many listeners with songs like “Like a Ghost.” Released in July 2025, it’s the Vocaloid version of a track produced under the Bocaduo 2025 team name, “Flying Fish Eggs.” Its floating electronic sound gently embraces the transparent vocals of Utaai Yuki, creating a dreamy number.

The lyrics, which drift between dream and reality while quietly facing one’s own heart, are also striking.

Listen to it on a night when you want to step away from the noise of everyday life and be alone, and you’ll surely be captivated by its bittersweet yet beautiful worldview.

You are not at fault.Δ

You’re Not at Fault / V_Fukase・flower (Someone Like You / V_Fukase・flower)

It's not your faultΔ

It’s a bittersweet yet emotional Vocaloid song that feels as if feelings are overflowing from deep within the heart.

Created by Vocaloid producer Δ and released in 2020.

The striking feature is its beautiful composition with clear contrasts between motion and stillness, intensity and calm, which also matches the mood of the lyrics.

The lyrics convey dissatisfaction and resignation about the singer’s current position, and that pent-up frustration comes through and squeezes the chest.

It’s a piece I’d like you to immerse yourself in during a quiet moment alone.

The lyrics evoke profound introspection and a sense of melancholy, letting the emotions slowly seep into your chest.
