GLIDE / niki feat.Lily
GLIDEniki

It’s a dance number with a sharp, cutting-edge sound arrangement that’s incredibly cool.

This track by the Vocaloid producer niki—also known as the “legendary Lily master”—was released in 2012.

The understated melodic line paired with the powerful, heavy sound image is just insanely cool.

REVERSE / niki OFFICIAL
REVERSEniki

Vocaloid producer niki, who holds the title of legendary Lily master and is popular for a heavy sound influenced by Western rock, has released their fourth work, “+REVERSE.” Its innovative structure—featuring lyrics designed to be played in reverse to match the title—also became a hot topic.

While there are challenging elements, such as memorizing the reversed lyrics and the large melodic leaps in the chorus, the vocal range isn’t especially wide, so it should be relatively easy to sing at karaoke if you set a key that suits you.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s a calmly delivered, wistful number.

Swallow niki feat. KAFU
Swallowniki

An irresistibly addictive Voca-rock track that instantly grabs your ears.

Composed by Vocaloid producer niki, released in August 2024.

It’s a stylish piece that fuses emotional melodies with a refined beat.

KAFU’s fleeting, bittersweet vocals delicately convey the turmoil of a heart wavering between freedom and restraint—truly memorable.

The song’s dreamy lyrical world is another highlight.

Highly recommended for fans of rock and electronica.

Perfect for quiet nights when you want to face yourself.

A wonderful work that resonates deeply.

【Lily】 Limiter 【Original Song】 (english subs + romaji)
Limiterniki

This is niki’s sixth song uploaded to Nico Nico Douga.

The artist themselves commented that “there’s no concept, but it somehow feels explosive.” The track’s hopeless worldview, Lily’s vocals that sound like a scream, and the melody are deeply emotional and heartrending.

With this song, they achieved their first Hall of Fame status (100,000 views).

The single-image PV also shows great attention to detail.

La CienegaJoji & NIKI

A mellow track by one of the core artists from 88rising, the label founded by Japanese American Sean Miyashiro in Asia.

It’s a number you could easily dance to, and it’s also a must-check if you want to be in the know about the cutting edge of contemporary Asian pop culture.

NIKI – Before (Official Music Video)
Beforeniki

NIKI’s 2022 release “Before” is a pleasantly languid, world-weary number.

I especially like how the chorus begins with the line, “Autumn in Carolina.

It’s been a year since I met you,” and flows into, “It was also a year for us to part and for a girl to grow up.” The lyrics are so poetic.

Since the word “autumn” appears at the very start of the chorus multiple times, it naturally evokes vivid autumn scenery in your mind.

Released in August 2019, the song also served as the lead single for 88rising’s compilation album “Head in the Clouds II,” and holds an important place in NIKI’s musical career.

With themes of love and personal growth, the lyrics are sure to resonate with many listeners.

La La Lost Youniki

If you went through a breakup this summer, I recommend “La La Lost You.” It’s a song by Indonesian singer-songwriter NIKI.

In the track, she looks back on memories with someone who lives in a faraway town and expresses how much she misses them.

I think it’s a song you can relate to in many situations, not just heartbreak.

Another noteworthy point is how it captures the uniquely wistful scenes of late summer.

Try to imagine that atmosphere as you listen.

Oceans & Enginesniki20rank/position

NIKI – Oceans & Engines (Official Music Video)

It’s a bittersweet love ballad that uses the vastness and depth of the sea as a metaphor.

The gentle, enveloping vocals and sentimental melody really resonate.

Included on the album “Nicole,” released in August 2022, it’s a track that showcases NIKI’s matured musicality.

It beautifully captures the pain of parting and the strength to overcome it, conveying emotions that ebb and flow like ocean waves.

It might be the perfect song for those who’ve experienced heartbreak or are trying to move on from a farewell with someone dear.

If you listen by the seaside, it’ll sink even deeper into your heart.
