These days, multiple trends sparked by VTubers are making waves.

“#Aqua Iro Palette,” released in 2020 by Minato Aqua—known for her striking marine maid outfit—became a viral hit thanks to its choreography video.

The lyrics straightforwardly express the desire to “make the one you like turn around and notice you.” Its catchy, fast-paced sound also leaves a strong impression.

If you usually listen to idol songs or anime tracks, why not experience the charm of the virtual scene as well?

If you’re looking for a song that stays close to those overwhelming, inescapable feelings, I recommend “Nani Yattemo Umaku Ikanai.” Singer-songwriter meiyo released it in 2021.

Its catchy, danceable sound went viral on TikTok and became a smash hit.

The hook is a single, addictive phrase that really sticks with you.

It brilliantly portrays the darker emotions we carry inside.

If you like Vocaloid or EDM, give it a listen.

Winter MagicNEW!Aogumo

When it comes to winter songs that capture a down-to-earth love—the kind where you want to close the distance with your crush because of the biting cold—this is the one.

Singer-songwriter Aogumo, who has been gaining attention on social media since their 2024 debut, wrote it in the winter of their seventeenth year.

Since its digital-only release in November 2025, it’s resonated with many, finding its way into TikTok posts and more.

While following in the vein of the previous track, “The Title Isn’t Decided Yet,” it delivers an even more seasonally rich, bittersweet sound.

The lyrics are especially noteworthy for giving you the courage to seek warmth in a freezing season and say “I like you.” It’s a heartwarming pop tune sprinkled with winter magic, one we especially hope those grappling with the frustrations of unrequited love will hear.

Are you also hooked on the catchy finger dance? “Goodbye Declaration,” released in 2020 by Vocaloid producer Chinozo, is a track with an irresistibly catchy sound.

If you have TikTok installed, there’s a good chance you’ve heard it.

This poppy, rhythmic song is used as BGM in all kinds of scenes.

The lyrics, which delicately portray the feelings of today’s youth, are another draw.

Even if you’re curious about Vocaloid but haven’t listened much, give it a try!

Macaroni Enpitsu is a rock band known for delicately portraying the honest hearts of young people.

Among their songs, the one that went viral on TikTok is “Nandemonai yo,” released in 2021.

It beautifully sings of bittersweet emotions that resonate with teens.

Hattori’s solo performances on social media and the emotional chorus melody are especially striking.

The melody also carries a certain nostalgic feel.

It’s a mid-tempo track that fans of Japanese rock shouldn’t miss.

“Bouquet,” a video of delivering a gift as a surprise to a lover that went viral on social media.

This song was released in 2022 by the music group Best Good Man (Berry Goodman).

On TikTok, it was used in couple videos and clips capturing moments between lovers.

Their warm, low vocals and the bright, high-tone piano create a striking contrast.

The honest feelings conveyed through the straightforward band sound are truly moving.

Give this love song, which depicts moments of happiness, a listen.

Humorous, rhythmic songs seem to resonate with people no matter the era.
