Masterpieces sung by MEIKO. Recommended popular Vocaloid songs.

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
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.

In this article, we’ll introduce classic songs performed by MEIKO, a foundational figure in the world of Vocaloid.

MEIKO debuted in 2004 as the world’s first Japanese-compatible virtual singer software.

She was released three years earlier than Hatsune Miku, who has become synonymous with synthesized vocal libraries.

The idea of being able to complete “songs sung by a female vocalist” entirely on one’s own computer became a hot topic among DTM creators at the time.

With the rise of the Vocaloid boom around 2007, MEIKO’s popularity also grew.

Her voice is characterized by a firm core and a slightly mature tone.

It might be the perfect playlist to trace the history of Vocaloid!

Deadly Poison Sundries Meikoya-sanSLAVE V-V-R

Deadly Poison Sundries: Meiko-ya — SLAVE.V-V-R feat. MEIKO

Deadly Poison Sundries Meikoya-sanSLAVE V-V-R

Created to commemorate MEIKO’s 21st anniversary, this song comes from the popular Vocaloid producer SLAVE.V-V-R—well-known for their “failed retirement.” It was released in November 2025.

The seductive tones of the accordion brilliantly bring to life an unsettling world: a general store dealing in poisons.

Blending the allegorical feel of dark fantasy with a cabaret-style theatrical flair, the piece weaves these elements together to exquisite effect.

MEIKO’s commanding vocals evoke a shopkeeper who is both eerie and irresistibly alluring.

The pinned comment on YouTube reportedly shares behind-the-scenes stories, so be sure to check it out after listening.

Highly recommended for those seeking a grotesque yet beautiful, venom-laced Vocaloid track!

Yearning in Ramuneid Blueaotokei

Yearning for Ramuneid Blue / Aotokei feat. MEIKO

Yearning in Ramuneid Blueaotokei

How about a light, feel-good mixture rock number? This track by Aotokei, a Vocaloid producer also known under the name 141hP, was released in 2017.

The repeating guitar, breezy drum rhythms, and chiptune-like synths leave a strong impression.

That crisp, refreshing sound is irresistible.

The lyrics, which feel like a slice cut straight from a page of youth, are another charm.

How about listening to it while taking a walk outside on a sunny day?

This is an original MEIKO song whose lyrics capture the fragile feelings of the protagonist, who seeks “you” out of anxiety and loneliness.

The rhythm is lively, yet it leaves a very cool impression.
