magnetRyūsei P
The sultry melody combined with the vocals of Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka creates a mature atmosphere! This track by Ryuusei-P—who is also active under the composer name Takahiro Minato and the singer name Tourai—was released in 2009.
The lyrics, infused with a passionate desire of “I want you to love me more,” are enough to set your heart racing.
The R&B, sexy sound arrangement is another highlight.
Some of you may have even sung it at karaoke with friends who love Vocaloid.
Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline
A Luka song that layers the pain of heartbreak over a polished electronic sound, tightening your chest as you listen.
It’s a signature work by Dixie Flatline, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Gemini” and “Lies and Plushies,” released in 2009.
A popular track featured on the compilation album “EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocaloanthems feat.
Hatsune Miku” and in the mobile game “Project Sekai.” You’ll be drawn in by the mature vocals and cool melodic lines.
Though it’s a breakup song, you somehow end up feeling refreshed after it’s over.
Cowardly Mont BlancDECO*27
Even though we were supposed to be in love, somehow our feelings drifted apart before we knew it… I bet some of you have experienced a romance like that.
This song is by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who has continually released numerous hits such as “Vampire,” and it was released in 2010.
Speaking of DECO*27, their style is a kind of mixture rock that layers synth phrases over a band sound, and even back then it was already firmly established! Another appeal is the lyrical worldview that’s sure to resonate with teens of any era!
Our 16-bit Warsasakure.UK
Once you hear that fusion-style soundscape, you can’t forget it! This is one of the signature works by sasakure.UK, who also shines as the composer for the band Yuukei Rampage, released in 2009.
It’s a long-loved piece that was also included in the mobile game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” The song’s structure, which spotlights fusion—a rarity in the Vocaloid scene at the time—completely captivates you.
And its unpredictable developments and sounds still feel fresh today!
CendrillonShigunaru P
For many people, this is the definitive Miku and KAITO duet.
Created by Signal-P, a popular Vocaloid producer who also works as a professional engineer, the song was released in 2008.
Its medieval European setting, inspired by the story of Cinderella, is highly narrative and makes you feel as if you’re watching a film.
The dramatic arrangement, which carries a touch of the Komuro sound, is another highlight.
The video featured here is a rearranged version released in 2018 to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
Be sure to compare it with the original!
Heavenly Musicyūyu
Wagakki Band’s cover version is cool too, isn’t it? It’s a hard rock number by the Vocaloid producer Yuuyu, also known as the creator of “Deep Sea Girl,” released in August 2009.
The fiercely distorted guitar sound, the surging bass, and the powerful drum work are all compelling.
Rin Kagamine’s vocals layered on top have a touch of sensuality, and as you listen, you get drawn into the world of the song.
The explosive power of the chorus is top-notch! It might not be an exaggeration to call it one of the pinnacles of Vocaloid rock.
Electric AngelYasuo P
This is a popular work released in 2007, the year Hatsune Miku debuted.
It’s a signature piece by Yasuo-P, one of the creators who shaped the very earliest Vocaloid scene, featuring an energetic tempo and a somewhat nostalgic melody line.
The lyrics, which convey Hatsune Miku’s feelings, are heartrending yet somehow warm.
Back then, the notion of Vocaloid “character” was something Vocaloid producers and fans freely imagined, combined, and gave form to.
This song is one that lets you experience the atmosphere of that time.
