Wagakki Band / Senbonzakura

It’s one of those Vocaloid songs so famous that it almost needs no introduction! Composed by Vocaloid producer Kurousa-P, it sparked a huge boom when it was released in 2011.

It was used in a Toyota commercial, and Sachiko Kobayashi even performed it on the Red and White Song Battle, making it a Japanese-style rock number known even to people who don’t usually listen to Vocaloid.

Back then, the wildly passionate fan slogan “Let’s make this our national anthem” became a hot topic online.

It’s an indispensable work when talking about the history of Vocaloid.

Hated by Life

Known as a “dark” song, ‘Inochi ni Kirawarete Iru’ is famous.

Mafumafu has a well-known cover, and Kanzaki Iori also sings it himself.

The pitch gap between the A and B verses and the chorus is extreme, so be careful not to strain.

If chest voice is difficult when singing, don’t push it—use falsetto skillfully.

The overall vocal range is C3–A4, and because each melodic section occupies a clearly defined range, it’s easier to anticipate pitches and lock in.

Keep your eyebrows raised, stay primed to project, and before singing, visualize the notes—raise your hand to help you find the pitch, then sing!

Melancholic / Junky feat. Kagamine Rin

A pop and cute “Melancholic.” If you can keep the rhythm steady without rushing through the fast section of the B verse, you can aim for a solid high score with this Vocaloid song.

The overall range is A#3 to D5, which isn’t too high, so it shouldn’t be a problem range-wise.

It’s a bouncy, cute track, so keep your expression bright and sing with a smile—your pitch won’t drop and your voice will stay steady.

In the fast B-verse section, keep your facial muscles lifted, and make sure to cut off the lyrics crisply at the right spots; that should keep the pitch bar from drifting.

In the chorus, gently sway your head side to side while singing to boost the cuteness and help you relax—two birds with one stone!
