[Hand-drawn] Self-Harm Colorless [PV]

Nekobolo is a Vocaloid producer who has been active on Niconico since 2009.

He released this song, Self-Harm Colorless, sung by Hatsune Miku, in 2013, and it reached one million views in 2017! Its quiet, melancholic melody and lyrics pierce the listener’s heart.

It’s a ballad that gently stays by your side in times when you’re overwhelmed and want to cry, or when you’re so down you can’t bounce back.

Rainy Snowdrop / Re:nG feat. KAITO [KAITO 15th Anniversary]

A work where a beautiful singing voice harmonizes with a dramatic melody.

Produced by Re:nG, this song was released in August 2021 to commemorate KAITO’s 15th anniversary.

Set to a powerful guitar sound, it sings of reconsidering one’s sense of purpose and discovering hope, capturing delicate shifts of the heart.

As a KAITO song, the vocal range is accessible for male singers.

Pour your emotions into it and let the passion take over!

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.

Inabakumori 'Lagtrain' Vo. Kaai Yuki

Rag Train has a mysterious worldview that mixes emptiness with cuteness.

It’s a song that creates a vivid atmosphere of speed—like riding a train—while also evoking the anxiety and loneliness of not knowing where you’re headed.

The track starts abruptly with the chorus.

From the very first phrase, the high note hi D (D5) appears, so you might feel a bit of strain right from the start when you sing it.

The highest note is hi D# (D#5) after the key change.

For women, it might actually be surprisingly easy to sing by using head voice or a whispery tone!

official MV Miracle Paint feat. Hatsune Miku - OSTER project

It’s a classic that colored the early Vocaloid scene, with a jazzy, adorable vibe that’s sure to make you smile! Composed by OSTER, it was released in November 2007.

The lively rhythm and Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals are irresistible.

The lyrics liken the feeling of being in love to painting a picture, leaving a strong impression and drawing you into a romantic world.

The distinctive singing style featuring abundant scat is another highlight.

Included in the rhythm game series “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku,” it remains beloved by many even today.

No reply yet, Kana? 💦 An old-man-text style 😁❗️ / Amai (Raincoat)

Unlike the mainstream Japanese music scene, the Vocaloid community tends to be more welcoming to novelty/comedic songs.

Among recent meme tracks, many of you might immediately think of the particularly striking “Still Waiting for Your Reply?💦 The Middle-Aged Man Texting Style😁❗️,” right? While this piece features the trademark rapid-fire delivery typical of Vocaloid, its vocal range isn’t especially wide, nor does it have extreme melodic leaps.

As a novelty song, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, and on top of that, it’s relatively easy to sing—making it a smart addition to your repertoire.

[Kagamine Rin/Len] The Wolf Fell in Love with Little Red Riding Hood [Original]

For those in their 30s looking for Vocaloid songs sung by Kagamine Rin and Len, I recommend “The Wolf Fell in Love with Little Red Riding Hood.” It was produced in 2012 by the Vocaloid producer unit Hitoshizuku-P × Yama△.

This bittersweet love story, inspired by the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

Their emotional vocals soar over a fast-paced band sound, delivering a rock track filled with earnest feelings for a loved one.

Even if you haven’t listened to recent Vocaloid songs, give this one a try.

Chocolate box

An ordinary day in the life of a couple.

Because they care so much about each other, they argue a lot, and even though they’re in love, neither of them can be honest.

But it’s a cute song where they finally open up and come to understand each other in the end.

Their relationship and feelings are expressed through chocolate.

It’s sweet…

15 Years of a Clingy Guy’s Petty ObsessionIe no ura de manbō ga shinderu P99rank/position

Clingy Guy’s 15 Years of Petty Obsessedness / Sunfish Is Dead Behind My House P (Turn on subtitles; lyrics are available in other languages)

The song “Sticky-Type Guy’s 15 Years of Clinginess,” packed with the unique worldview of P-san from Mambo Dying Behind the House, portrays a man who remains fixated on a single woman for 15 years, blending humor with poignancy.

It’s characterized by striking lyrics and a catchy melody that leave a deep impression on listeners.

It’s a track I especially recommend to those who have experienced losing someone important or are troubled by single-minded love.

If you listen to it while holding onto a bittersweet love, you may find both empathy and comfort.
