UwabamiAmeyoshi
This is a Japanese-style electronic track that portrays an all-consuming obsession.
Created by Amara, also known as the author of “Dai Dai Dai Dai Daikirai,” it was released in August 2025.
The song is a collaboration with the AI singing synthesis software ACE STUDIO, and Hiiragi Yuki’s clear, translucent vocals accentuate the protagonist’s madness-tinged affection.
The sophisticated EDM sound intertwined with the tones of traditional Japanese instruments pulls listeners straight into its world.
Immerse yourself in this thrilling soundscape.
Kokoro-chanone two three
This is a song richly sprinkled with Japanese-style motifs.
It’s a work by Hifumi, released in January 2024.
The chorus features an ear-catching melody that makes you want to hum along.
The theme centers on losing and rediscovering oneself during the journey to adulthood, with the lost “Kokoro-chan” symbolizing the innocence of childhood and the dreams of youth.
It’s a piece that prompts reflection on what it means to grow and what it means to lose.
I highly recommend it to anyone in the midst of a journey of self-discovery.
GambitYūnosuke
A Japanese-style electronic dance tune that balances calmness with grandeur.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Yunosuke—known for works like “PaⅢ.SENSATION”—the track was released in 2023 and participated in the Summer 2023 VocaColle.
Its sound arrangement is notable for gently resonant traditional Japanese instruments paired with an undeniably uplifting vibe.
The lyrics convey a burning fighting spirit.
“Gambit” refers to a chess technique where you intentionally sacrifice a piece to gain a favorable position.
Knowing this makes the song’s message even clearer.
Remnants of FlowersPikon
A delicate, dreamlike Japanese-style ambient track where transience and beauty coexist.
Released by Picon in 2024, this piece features Seikai from CeVIO AI as the vocalist.
The lyrics, which reflect on things that fade with the passage of time, resonate deeply with listeners.
Its gentle timbres and melodic lines are soothing, creating an atmosphere that invites quiet contemplation.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to alone on a calm night.

Girl Narune Frontpolypho
It’s a fast-paced Vocaloid rock track with a somewhat retro vibe.
The song is by PolyphonicBranch (aka Polifo) and was released in March 2023.
From the intro alone the momentum is incredible; it’s a piece where waves of sound keep crashing over you from start to finish.
The heavily distorted, gritty bass sounds amazing.
I bet many rock fans who like this kind of sound will love it.
It also matches the decadent worldview of the lyrics.
And yet…
KAFU’s singing voice retains a sharp, clear contour even amid these alternative textures—it’s seriously cool.
Orga's Ten TailsKou Shimizu
How about a dynamic and dramatic Japanese-style Vocaloid track? It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Ko Shimizu, released in April 2023.
This is the third installment in the series titled “Fallen God Myth.” With powerful drums, it’s a cool, rock-flavored piece.
The highly narrative lyrics stand strong on their own and make for a compelling read.
By the way, it’s also related to the previously released “Despair Inoculation” series, so be sure to check that out too!
Murasakiscoop
A sophisticated Vocaloid track that, while rooted in a Japanese aesthetic, also incorporates jazz and rock flavors.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Scop, known for works like “Irony” and “Yubikiri,” it was released in 2013.
It’s a yandere-tinged piece that sings of a love beyond “passionate,” drawing you into its sultry world.
I imagine many people enjoy songs with this kind of raw, mature atmosphere.
Among Japanese-style tracks, this one carries a Taisho-era retro vibe.
