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.

Inebriated Paranoia Celery

A piece with a languid, dreamy vibe that makes you want to clap along.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Celery, released in March 2023.

The laid-back synth sound perfectly matches the word “intoxication” in the title.

The chorus melody and rhythm feel great, and you’ll find yourself gently swaying as you listen.

The booming bass that resonates in your gut is irresistible, too.

When you don’t want to think about anything and just surrender yourself to the sound, this song is the perfect fit.

It’s a track where a poppy rhythm merges with a unique worldview.

XXXMerokuru

XXX / Merokuru feat. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Megurine Luka

XXX Merokuru

It’s an electronic tune that combines glamour and coolness.

“XXX,” created by Vocaloid producer Merokuru, was released in June 2024.

They aimed for a song that MAVE:, the virtual girls’ group from Korea, might sing, and you can certainly feel K-pop elements in the melodic construction.

If you change the settings on YouTube, you can also watch the English version, so definitely check it out if you’re interested.

Still… I’m truly impressed by the breadth of Merokuru’s musicality.

It has a worldview so addictive that once you listen, you’ll never escape.

This piece by Sasuke Haraguchi, which took first place in the VOCALOID Collection Winter 2024 TOP 100 ranking, was released in February 2024.

Its hallmark is an original sound that incorporates elements of glitch house and hyperpop.

To fully savor its appeal, I recommend using earphones or headphones—you might find the volume has somehow crept up to max before you know it.

It’s mysterious and avant-garde, yet solidly catchy.

This work has the power to remind those of us living in modern society of the importance of introspection and self-awareness.
