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.

This work features a thrilling band sound that really stands out.

It’s the Vocaloid version of the song participating in BokaDuo 2025 by the Board Game Music Club, of which Kore-san is also a member, and it’s included on the compilation album “BodoBoka.” It portrays board game-like human drama, where a single offhand remark triggers a chain reaction of suspicion and paranoia.

The lyrics, in which people probe each other and drive one another into a corner, mirror the fragility of our hearts that sometimes lose the ability to trust.

It’s a cool, thought-provoking track with multifaceted appeal!
