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.

It's off. The cooper.

“Zureteru” by music creator Okeya is a track whose charm lies in its mysterious worldview.

The synth sounds in the track are striking as well.

It uses the VOCALOID Hatsune Miku, and compared to early Miku songs like “Melt” or “World Is Mine,” it feels like the creator intentionally avoids making the vocals overly melodious to bring out Miku’s unique qualities.

In this way, even with the same VOCALOID, the way its vocal character is utilized changes with the times—one of the interesting aspects of Vocaloid music.

In conclusion

I think we had a wide range of tracks, from rock and EDM to ones with a city-pop vibe.

But… “stylish” is a tricky concept, isn’t it? A lot of people aren’t confident in their own sense of style when choosing clothes and such.

Still, what matters is wearing what you like, right? It’s the same with music: listen to what you like—that’s the most important thing.

Really, that’s what matters most.
