Laundry Note (Hatsune Miku)

A song by Aruku Hito, a Vocaloid producer from Niigata now based in Tokyo, featuring sprightly electronic tones, Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals, and the distinctive sounds of a laundromat.

The lyrics portray the everyday life of an ordinary girl in Tokyo and feel familiar and relatable.

It opens with laundromat and water sounds layered over lively electronics, then Miku’s voice rings out.

Bell and chime effects are inserted in just the right places, so it never gets boring.

It’s a track you’ll want to play during the rainy season, in that damp, humid time of year.

The endlessly catchy melody line and buoyant vocals will have you smiling before you know it.

The lyrics, which incorporate Chinese, are also unique.

Charles / flower

Why is it that, despite its rhythmic drive and sense of speed, you’re left with a pang of sadness after listening? This is a signature song by Balloon, the Vocaloid producer who also works under the name Keina Suda.

It was released in 2016.

The lyrics, which dwell on love, have real depth and make you think.

The track sounds stylish, but what comes through is an explosion of emotion—like a mass of energy surging toward you.

Perfect for a day in June when you want to ignite your motivation.

The self-cover version is highly recommended, too.

Summer Syndrome / Ray feat. Hatsune Miku [Vocaloid Original] [Project Sekai NEXT]

It’s a grand summer song that draws you in with its dramatic piano phrases.

Created by Vocaloid producer Ray, it was released in July 2022.

Blending powerful drums with hard rock guitar sounds and strings, it builds a rich, weighty sonic landscape.

On top of that, Miku’s vocals are delicate and fleeting—an irresistible contrast.

The lyrics trace memories of summer, making you naturally project your own experiences onto the song.

Be sure to turn the volume up!

icewhoo

ice [yanaginagi × whoo × eau.]

This song’s sound and the floating feel of the vocals are wonderful.

It’s a work by whoo, a Vocaloid producer known for meticulous, high-quality songwriting, released in 2011.

I feel that the lyrics’ fantastical worldview expands the song’s depth and the richness of its sonic landscape.

As June gradually grows more humid, listening to this track will surely make you feel refreshed.

Incidentally, there’s also a version sung by singer-songwriter Nagi Yanagi.

It’s fun to compare the different renditions.

It’s raining.I can't say I'm sorry

Rain Is Falling / Kagamine Rin

The off-pitch electronic tones evoke the image of a gentle, steady rain.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer “Gomen nasai ga ienakute,” released in 2022.

Kagamine Rin’s calm singing voice is soothing, making it a chillout-style Vocaloid song.

The sound arrangement is effortlessly languid and very ennui, the kind that makes you want to close your eyes and savor it.

“It’s raining, so I don’t feel like doing anything today…” If you’re in that kind of mood, this song is just right.
