Popular Vocaloid Artist Rankings [2026]

Utter Scum / Kaai Yuki

This is a downbeat track that layers Yuki Koiuta’s innocent singing voice over a steady, understated rhythm.

Created by Nakiso in 2022, it’s marked by a shadowy atmosphere.

The lyrics are crazed, intertwining possessiveness and dependency, and they leave a deep impression on listeners.

Even if you’re not confident in your vocal power, it’s relatively approachable, though you may need practice to capture the mood.

It’s a uniquely captivating song with a scary vibe that becomes addictive.

Goblin shark?Hiiragi Kirai42rank/position

Loveka? / Hiiragi Kirai feat. flower

It’s a Vocaloid track with a dark vibe that lets you get tipsy on its mood, and the delightfully ringing horn section really sticks in your ears.

It’s by Kirai Hiiragi, also known for “Autophagy” and “Bocca della Verità,” and was released in 2020.

The jazz-style arrangement pairs perfectly with flower’s trilled vocals.

The more you listen, the more addictive it becomes.

The lyrics’ worldview, playing on the double meaning of “love” (ai/love) and “lovka” (a type of fish, the goblin shark), is also excellent.

It’s irresistibly sexy yet somehow innocent.

Villain / flower・Teniwoha

An expressive track that draws you into its downer mood.

Released in February 2020, this piece by Teniwoha features v_flower’s decadent vocal work that leaves a strong impression.

The sonic blend of a distinctive beat and guitar sounds is highly addictive, and the lyrics—centered on a transgender theme—cut deep into contemporary society.

I think it will especially resonate with anyone wanting to reexamine their true self!

Noda / Zundamon, Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto

A piercing song that belts out “your true self” as you are.

It’s a track by Namaha Shin, released in November 2023.

The rich sonic image—born from the fusion of the three voices of Zundamon, Hatsune Miku, and Kasane Teto with a rapid-fire melody—leaves a strong impression.

The lyrics pose the question of where one’s self comes from, alongside an earnest plea to love who I am now.

Even while carrying anxiety about a self that keeps changing, the drive to move forward resonates deeply with the feelings of someone standing at the milestone of graduation.

┗|∵|┓ Good Morning on Friday / HoneyWorks feat. GUMI

“I want to get in the mood for love!” This is a love song I’d love you to listen to at such times.

It’s a track by the creator unit HoneyWorks, released in July 2014, originally provided to the singer Gero.

The catchy melody and bittersweet lyrics will make your heart flutter! The soaring chorus feels so good and naturally lifts your spirits.

Sing it with friends and the fun will definitely double!

Even though I loved youMARETU46rank/position

[Hatsune Miku] Even Though I Loved You [Original]

Just as the majestic sound of the organ begins to reverberate, an ominous tone seems to well up from the depths of the heart and layer over it…

MARETU’s July 2023 work leads you into a world of deep emotions where no one wants to set foot.

The anger and sorrow of being betrayed by a loved one gouge at your chest, accompanied by Hatsune Miku’s whisper-like vocals.

Sonically, the piece stokes tension by weaving together organ, dissonance, and a variety of sounds.

It will resonate with those suffering the pain of heartbreak and those who wish to confront the darkness within.

To my loved onesKasamura Tōta47rank/position

To My Precious People / feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a ballad that quietly prays for the happiness of someone dear.

The song is by Vocaloid producer Toa Kasamura and was released in July 2018.

Carried by a piano melody, the words weave a gentle feeling—worrying that someone whose face and name you don’t even know might be hurting somewhere.

That soft, drop-by-drop kind of singing can move you to tears.

When the milestone of graduation arrives, the friends and mentors you can no longer see every day inevitably come to mind.

Even when you’re apart, you just want them to be well—this is the perfect song for that feeling.

Hello/How are you?nanou48rank/position

Hello/How Are You (feat. Hatsune Miku & Megpoid)

It’s a song that feels like pouring out the emotions pent up in your heart, mixing poignancy with warmth.

Created by Nanou, it centers on themes of loneliness and the difficulty of self-expression.

If you carry anxieties and inner conflicts in your daily life, you’ll surely relate.

The gentle vocals and poppy melody are memorable, too.

It’s great for karaoke, of course, but I also recommend listening to it alone and savoring it slowly.

Phony – kafu [Original]

From its sharp intro, this insanely cool track instantly pulls you into a unique world.

It’s a work by Tsumiki, a Vocaloid producer known for a stylish sound, released in June 2021.

Boasting overwhelming popularity—with about 74 million plays on video platforms—this piece brilliantly fuses a razor-sharp theme that questions the real and the fake with an upbeat, danceable technopop sound.

The addictive melody, lined with thought-provoking words, sticks in your head after just one listen.

The moment it plays in an intro quiz, everyone around you is guaranteed to erupt.

Be sure to belt it out with your fellow Vocaloid fans and get the energy flowing!

Deep Sea Girlyūyu50rank/position

Deep Sea Girl -deep sea girl- / yuyoyuppe feat. Hatsune Miku

Yuyoyuppe’s song “Deep-Sea Girl” is, as the title suggests, a work that delicately depicts the feelings of a girl sinking into the deep sea.

It portrays a protagonist burdened by loneliness and self-denial who begins to change after meeting a certain person, all within a beautiful yet heartrending worldview.

Included on Yuyoyuppe’s major-label debut album “Shikisai no Hoshi,” it became a major topic among VOCALOID fans.

The story of facing oneself in the depths of the sea and finding the courage to take a new step forward is a heartwarming number that conveys inner growth.
