Daughter of EvilAkuno-P
It’s a classic Vocaloid song sung by Kagamine Rin that has also been adapted for stage and novel.
Composed by mothy, also known as Akuno-P, it was released in 2008.
As indicated by the phrase “in the style of a medieval tale” in the video title, the story is set in a fictional country inspired by medieval Europe.
Please listen for yourself to find out what kind of end awaits the 14-year-old princess who rules the kingdom.
Incidentally, this song is grouped with Prisoner P’s “Prisoner” and Hitoshizuku-P’s “soundless voice” as the “Three Great Kagamine Tragedies.”
KarmaNEW!Circus-P
This track was created by CircusP, a leading figure in the overseas Vocaloid scene, in collaboration with Creepy.
Razor-sharp synthesizers intertwine with a heavy beat, and Rin Kagamine’s English vocals echo with an icy clarity, resulting in a dark electro-dance number.
The lyrics are serious, depicting interpersonal friction and karmic retribution.
The more you listen, the deeper you’re drawn into its abyssal world.
Released in February 2016, the song was included on the album “715,” and in February 2025 it was added to the global version of the rhythm game “HATSUNE MIKU: COLORFUL STAGE!,” showing its enduring appeal across borders.
If you’re looking for a genuine, Western-style sound, you’re sure to love it.
How the Devil DancesHello, Mr./Ms. Tanida
With its distinctive soundwork incorporating scratch noises and its deranged music video, this is a piece you won’t be able to escape once you’ve listened and watched.
Released in 2018, it’s a track by Konnichiwa Tanita-san, who is also active under the singer-songwriter name Tatsuya Kitani.
The rhythm is sprightly yet it’s a downer rock number, resulting in a very sophisticated finish.
The philosophical lyrics—about which the creator himself explained, “It’s a metaphor”—are another part of its charm.
What on earth are we supposed to believe in, anyway?
anti-chlorobenzeneOwata-P
Its fantastical tone and deep world-building draw you in.
Composed by Owata-P, who rose to fame with the hit “Turkish March – Owata (＼(^o^)／),” the song was released in 2010.
The resonant piano timbre and relentless melodic line leave a strong impression.
It’s the fourth entry in the “Benzene (＼(^o^)／)” series and also an answer song to “Para-dichlorobenzene,” so if you’re interested, be sure to check out the other tracks as well—you’ll get even more hooked.
Vocalo ColosseumDIVELA
You get the sense of a heavy mass of sound closing in as you listen.
It’s a track by DIVELA, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Disaster Tune,” released in 2018.
The song’s dark worldview is captivating, with powerful sound and a distinctive melodic line that stands out.
The chorus in particular makes you want to sing along.
Rin Kagamine’s voice has a mechanical feel, likely tailored to match the tone of the song.
I can confidently recommend it as an incredibly cool Vocaloid track.
Butterfly on the Right ShoulderNori-P
Isn’t this the song that spread the idea to many people that cool tracks really suit Kagamine Rin? It’s a very mature love song.
When this track was released, only Hatsune Miku, MEIKO, and KAITO had really been around in the VOCALOID scene, so you could say it’s a classic that pointed to Rin’s potential.
Please give it a listen with your own ears.
Love-Emotion UnderachieverKairiki Bear
A four-on-the-floor dance rock track with Kagamine Rin’s piercingly cool vocals.
It’s a 2020 song by Kairiki Bear, a popular Vocaloid producer who has also made a major debut.
The track is the theme song for Ruruka the Magical Girl, one of the characters in the mobile game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.” While it features a catchy, sharp groove, the atmosphere flips in the middle, unfolding into a heavy, oppressive sound.
It skillfully captures Ruruka’s character.
