Some of you might associate Vocaloid songs with “mix-up rock full of dizzying twists and turns.” PolyphonicBranch (aka Polipho) released the track “2D Dream Fever” in 2012.

By 2015, it had surpassed one million views on Niconico, making it a massively popular song.

The vocal lines—extremely hard for human singers to imitate—embody the quintessential “this is Vocaloid!” feel.

You’re overwhelmed by the sheer power the whole time, and before you know it, you’ve been swept all the way to the outro.

It’s also been novelized, so check it out if you’re interested!

Let me introduce a dark track by PolyphonicBranch, who has also made waves with major-label full album releases: “Less Than Human.” This piece depicts the murky emotions of a girl trapped in self-loathing.

The drum and bass sound and the restrained, understated vocal delivery seem to express the darkness of the heart.

Also pay close attention to the spoken lines scattered throughout the song and the comically tinged melodic lines.

This is RADWIMPS’ tenth digital-only single, written as the theme song for the drama “Ishiko to Haneo: Sonna Koto de Uttaemasu?” When singing this track at karaoke, the key point is likely how you create a contrast between the somewhat mechanical delivery in the non-chorus sections and the more organic singing in the chorus.

In fact, especially in the A-melody parts, there’s processing that seems to intentionally apply strong pitch-correction effects.

It might even be fun to lean into that inorganic feel and mimic it deliberately.

“2000-whatever: A Space Odyssey” is a track used as the ending theme for NHK E-TV’s anime “Space Nanchara Kotetsu-kun.” It’s a fresh number featuring RHYMESTER’s signature melodious rap combined with crowd calls.

It’s properly spacey and conveys the animals’ laid-back yet straightforward spirit of adventure, leaving you with a bright, uplifting feeling.

The title is apparently a playful nod to Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Can’t wait for the full version!

Witnessing their powerful performance in person is guaranteed to be overwhelming.
