Popular Vocaloid Artist Rankings [2026]

Romeo and Cinderelladoriko36rank/position

Romeo and Cinderella – doriko feat. Hatsune Miku [official MV]

It features passionate, sultry lyrics that liken the precarious first love of an adolescent girl to the stories of Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella.

It has surpassed 5 million plays and was even adapted into a novel.

The track itself is a fast-paced piano-and-guitar rock tune, with vocals that give the impression of never stopping for breath.

The melodies don’t sit too high in range, so you should be able to sing without straining.

That said, it sounds more powerful and cooler in chest voice than falsetto, so it’s best to articulate clearly and sing crisply.

Try singing while feeling the movement in your diaphragm.

Goodbye DeclarationChinozo37rank/position

Chinozo “Goodbye Declaration” feat. FloweR

It’s a god-tier song that blew up on a video-based social media site and sparked a massive craze! Created by Vocaloid producer Chinozo and released in April 2020, it features a catchy melody and a high-energy rock sound.

The highly relatable lyrics, depicting the loneliness and struggles of modern society, are also outstanding.

Triggered by a finger-dance trend, the track became a huge hit and achieved the first-ever 100 million views on YouTube for a Vocaloid work.

It’s included in releases like the full album “The Deluge,” and even landed a collaboration with McDonald’s in August 2024.

The moment that striking intro kicks in, it’s guaranteed to make everyone go “Ah!”—perfect for instantly hyping up gatherings with friends or live events!

Six Trillion Years and an Overnight Storykemu38rank/position

[HD] Six Trillion Years and One Night Story [IA Original Song / with PV] - KEMU VOXX

Released in December 2012, this song is a classic, notoriously difficult Vocaloid track! It has a Japanese-style vibe with a very relaxed intro, but the tempo suddenly speeds up and the lyrics become extremely dense.

You’ll need to be mindful of stamina, lung capacity, and quickness, but it’s highly recommended if you love fast songs! The key to singing the rapid-fire sections is not to try to articulate every single consonant, but to clearly pronounce the vowel sounds that carry the accents.

That will help you lock into the rhythm and sing more lightly.

With fast-tempo songs, above all, you have to memorize the lyrics; otherwise, when you sing it at karaoke, you’ll end up just chasing the words and sounding vague.

I recommend first being able to hum the melody, then adding the lyrics afterward!

Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline39rank/position

[Megurine Luka] Just Be Friends [Original PV]

This is a song released in July 2009.

It’s a technopop track themed around a bittersweet breakup, and its polished sound and uplifting lyrics resonated with listeners, making it one of the most popular songs representing the Vocaloid scene.

Many early Vocaloid songs tend to have relatively calm tempos and are easier to sing.

“Just Be Friends” also isn’t too fast in tempo and doesn’t require an excessively high vocal range, so you can follow the lyrics clearly as you sing—making it highly recommended for Vocaloid beginners.

If you want to get into Vocaloid, start by listening to songs from the early days!

seems like (just) my imaginationChōchō P40rank/position

[GUMI] Kokoronashi [Original PV] / [papiyon feat. GUMI] Kokoronashi [Original]

It’s a ballad characterized by gentle piano tones and a heartrending melody.

Released in 2014 and included on the album “End of the World,” the track features GUMI as the vocalist.

The lyrics delicately portray the confusion and inner conflict that come with having emotions.

The emotional arrangement, which blends piano with a full band sound, is truly stirring.

Why not immerse yourself in the piano’s timbre and enjoy its moving world?

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.
