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

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

A noonday blaze searing us apartHello, Mr./Ms. Tanida

Flames of the noonday heat sear us far apart / Hello, Mr. Tanita – Lossy Encoding / Hello Tanitasan

Good afternoon, Mr. Tanida, in the blazing midday whose flames sear us apart.

An alternative Vocaloid track whose ingenious sound image somehow stirs up a sense of nostalgia.

It’s a song released under Tatsuya Kitani’s Vocaloid producer alias, Konnichiwa Tanita-san, published in August 2025 and included on the compilation album “Eingebrannt.” Its appeal lies in literary lyrics that trace memories of summers that have receded into the distant past, paired with a sound that blends weightless drift and cool poise.

The cruelty of passing time—and, because of it, the precious radiance of each fleeting moment—soaks deeply into the heart.

Give it a listen when you’re in the mood to indulge in a touch of sentimentality.

meme-ish / Kasane Teto

meme-ish blue squirrel

A modern, stylish dance tune with irresistibly sharp synth beats.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Aogurisu, released in August 2025.

It ranked 14th in the VOCACOLLE Summer 2025 TOP 100.

The lyrics depict the real feelings of contemporary people wandering the sea of the internet in search of validation.

The anxieties swirling on social media and the sudden waves of emptiness ride the high-velocity track and hit you in the chest.

Teto’s slightly wistful vocals fit this worldview perfectly.

▕▙▒▒ – ▖▖░▟▗▕▔▜

▙▒▒FILEIN

The work “▙▒▒,” which has been attracting attention for its unique structure and storytelling, is apparently pronounced “Yume.” It’s a piece posted by FILEIN, a Vocaloid producer whose profile remains largely shrouded in mystery.

The intro is structured like a spoken monologue, and from there the melody gradually accelerates.

Parts of the lyrics are intentionally unintelligible, and a novel appears within the music video, drawing you into a chain of mysteries that leads to even more questions.

Night Falls / Hatsune Miku

Night Falls n.k

This Vocaloid track blends energy and style to perfection.

Composed by Vocaloid producer n.k, it was released in 2021.

It starts with a quiet intro and gradually builds up in a way that evokes EDM.

Yet it maintains a cool vibe throughout, likely thanks to its matter-of-fact melodic line.

The lyrics, which convey a sentiment like “I don’t need kindness,” also hit hard.

It’s a stylish number whose overflowing intensity stirs the emotions.

That Girl’s Theory of Consumption / Kasane Teto SV

Consumption Theory Frokuro of That Girl

This is an ambitious work by Frokuro that questions the value of the individual in a consumer society.

Released in August 2024, the piece captivates with an avant-garde sound that fuses electronica and experimental music.

Its most notable feature is the lyric structure: the melody and vocal delivery are the same in the first and second verses, yet the lyrics are completely different.

The originality is striking.

Pointing to new possibilities for Vocaloid culture, this track should be highly stimulating for anyone who enjoys making music.

It’s an artful Vocaloid song that I strongly recommend you experience for yourself.

Slowly NightMIMI

“Slowly Night” / feat. Hatsune Miku

Slowly Night MIMI

It’s a very gentle Vocaloid song that comforts a lonely heart as if watering a flower.

“Slowly Night,” created by the popular Vocaloid producer MIMI—who also brought us songs like “Mashumary”—was released in June 2024.

The tempo is on the faster side, with MIMI’s signature piano sound as the foundation.

Miku’s vocals are truly soft, and it feels as if they embody the world of the lyrics.

On nights overwhelmed by loneliness, on nights when you’re afraid of tomorrow, this song will surely come to your rescue.
