Popular Vocaloid Artist Rankings [2026]

Don’t go.Souta36rank/position

Don't go / Mafumafu [I Tried Singing]

Those true feelings you can’t bring yourself to say…

haven’t we all experienced that? “Ikanaide” is one of Souta’s signature songs, released in July 2013.

Its retro-tinged sound arrangement pairs perfectly with Yuki Kaai’s murmuring, halting vocals.

As you listen, you’re mysteriously overcome with a sense of nostalgia.

The lyrics trace the protagonist’s inner thoughts at the moment of parting with someone precious.

They really want to stop them from leaving but can’t say it…

It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid song that makes you imagine all kinds of backstories about what might have happened between the two.

Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline37rank/position

Megurine Luka | Just Be Friends

The bittersweet dance beat of “Just Be Friends.” Since the tempo isn’t too fast, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

Among Vocaloid songs, the melody line is very simple, and the fact that it doesn’t feel so typically “Vocaloid” might also make it easier to sing.

It’s a dance track that makes your body want to move, so lightly riding the rhythm while you sing will help you relax and make it easier to stay on pitch.

Be careful not to move too exaggeratedly, or you’ll throw off the groove! Also, singing as if you’re speaking in a polite, outward-facing voice will help keep your pitch stable, so it’s recommended!

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!

Goodbye DeclarationChinozo39rank/position

Chinozo “Goodbye Declaration” feat. FloweR

This is a signature work by Chinozo, featuring an exhilarating, fast-paced rock sound that feels great.

Released in 2020, it skyrocketed in popularity after finger-dance videos on TikTok went viral.

The lyrics carry a positive message about living true to yourself, giving listeners a powerful push forward.

Its catchy, great-sounding melody is unforgettable after just one listen.

Perfect for lively moments like after-parties or karaoke gatherings where everyone wants to have fun together!

[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?

Goblin shark?Hiiragi Kirai41rank/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!
