Non-deliciousNEW!nekomata okayu
Affiliated with hololive GAMERS, VTuber Nekomata Okayu is beloved as the embodiment of “total affirmation,” thanks to her soothing voice and comforting presence.
She’s also a standout in music.
Her release from February 2026 is a dark pop track written and composed by Vocaloid producer Teniwoha.
Its worldbuilding—portraying loneliness and inner conflict through a table set with bizarre dishes—is, in a word, intense (lol).
The fusion of rock and electronica entwines with her low-register vocals to create an exquisitely addictive sound.
Following her May 2025 album “Purrsonya ~Respect~,” this track feels like an even broader expansion of her expressive range.
The lyrics, which question what we ought to savor, make it a song I especially recommend to anyone feeling a bit worn out by everyday life.

A danceable Vocaloid track that reveals a modern view of work.
Created by Adeliae, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Emergency Landing” and “Eternal Aria,” this is their entry for VocaColle Winter 2026.
The ensemble, anchored by the bass groove, is striking.
The contrast between that sound and lyrics reflecting the difficulty of life where the line between on and off is blurred is captivating.
Let your body and soul be swallowed by the whirl of sound.
It ended up being just noise!NEW!mizenkei
A track by Vocaloid producer Mizenkei, released in February 2026.
You’ll be drawn into a high-speed soundscape where brightness and anxiety are exquisitely blended.
It’s packed with addictive elements—irregular breaks, shifting BPM developments, and relentless melodies.
And the lyrics capture a resignation toward modern society and oneself that’s all too relatable.
Music that could only be born in this era.
Non-breath ObligeNEW!Pinokio P
You’ll be blown away by its breathtaking structure—you might even forget to breathe! Released in June 2021, this track was created around the theme of “breathlessness.” The breathless vocals—possible precisely because it’s vocaloid—leave a powerful impact on listeners.
If you’ve ever felt stifled by modern society, the sharply observed lyrics are sure to pierce your heart.
In addition to being included on the album “Love,” it’s also well-loved in the mobile game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! (Project SEKAI).”

The music video—where the members, all in matching suits, dance alongside a large group of dancers—makes a huge impact, too! Whenever you want to blow away bad vibes or boost your mood, turn this track up and dance your heart out.
