Popular Vocaloid Artist Rankings [2026] (1–10)
Ghost RuleDECO*271rank/position
It boasts extremely high view counts on both Niconico and YouTube and is said to have many overseas fans.
Even on YouTube alone, it’s an explosively popular song with over 100 million views.
It’s characterized by a driving sound and a chorus melody that feels like a shout.
One of my students practiced this song in vocal training; since he was male, he said, “The original key is too high, so singing an octave lower is just right!” The A and B sections can be sung relatively calmly, but the chorus ramps up all at once, so you’ll want to be careful not to tense up.
Rather than screaming, try singing as if you’re projecting your voice far into the distance.
Until I hold you in my arms.MIMI2rank/position
This is a song with a gentle tone that soothes a tired heart.
Created by MIMI, it was released in February 2022.
The warm sound of the piano and KAFU’s soft vocals resonate deeply.
The lyrics are notable for their empathy toward those carrying loneliness and solitude, offering quiet companionship on nights spent alone.
It’s a recommended track for moments when you feel unsettled or wish someone were by your side.
Amanojaku1643rank/position
Amano-jaku has a band sound with a really cool bassline.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to G5, and it modulates even higher in the final chorus.
If you want to nail a cool rock delivery, mixed voice is essential.
If you keep belting with a strong falsetto, your voice will gradually lock in, but breath control, explosiveness, and core strength are very important.
However, since this was for karaoke scoring this time, as long as the pitch is on, anything goes.
It might be good to think of it as practice to master mixed voice and keep singing in falsetto at first.
Keep time with your whole body so the rhythm doesn’t slip.
LokiMikito P4rank/position
A hugely popular Vocaloid song released in 2018.
It features a fast-paced rock sound infused with EDM elements and lyrics laced with subcultural satire, making it a staple that represents the Vocaloid scene.
It boasts explosive view counts on YouTube and in karaoke, and it was even novelized.
While it may sound like it’s sung by two people in parts, there’s no problem performing it solo.
The chorus is quite strong, so be careful not to get thrown off by the harmonies.
It does get fast, but if you keep reading the lyrics without stopping, you should be able to catch the melody.
Karakuri Pierrot40mP5rank/position
Among Vocaloid songs, “Karakuri Pierrot” has an exceptionally relaxed tempo.
The vocal range isn’t too high, so women can keep the original key, while men might find it just right to lower it by two to three semitones.
The small amount of lyrics is another plus! You should be able to sing steadily without rushing.
Don’t push your voice—aim for a straight, honest pitch.
The key goes up in the last chorus, but if you sing with more energy than in the first chorus, you should be able to stay steady.
For scoring systems, focus on singing as mechanically straight as possible.
Clear enunciation will also make the pitch bar respond well.
Night Sky Patrol of TomorrowOrangestar6rank/position
Posted in 2014, this Vocaloid song was the first track using the voice synthesizer IA to be inducted into the “Legendary” category on Nico Nico Douga.
As one of Orangestar’s signature songs, it captivates with its driving rock sound and shimmering, shifting synthesizers.
The lyrics, which intertwine anxiety about whether tomorrow will come with the determination to keep moving forward, have resonated with many listeners.
It’s included on the album “Mikansei Eight Beats,” and a later band-arranged version was also released.
If you sing it at karaoke, aim for a natural, unforced vocal delivery to bring out the song’s atmosphere.
With numerous covers by singers, it’s a track that can liven up karaoke even with people who aren’t very familiar with Vocaloid.
Sand Planethachi7rank/position
Kenshi Yonezu, now a leading figure in Japan’s music scene, once worked as a Vocaloid producer.
Under the name Hachi, he released this track in 2017 to commemorate Hatsune Miku’s 10th anniversary.
It portrays a figure walking on through a desolate, desert-like world, blending electro and rock with Hatsune Miku’s vocals soaring over the sound.
The song hit one million views in just six days after release, setting a new speed record in Vocaloid history.
If you were a fan of his Hachi era, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going at karaoke!
