Seikai-chan and Kafu-chan’s Errand Capriccio

A rhythmical, catchy melody makes Minami no Minami’s track “The Errand Rhapsody of Seikai-chan and Kafu-chan” especially memorable.

Released in October 2022, this song features Seikai, Kafu, and Tohoku Kiritan.

The high-energy, heartwarming exchanges that unfold through their errand are a joy to listen to.

With its unique concept and expression, the song won strong support from many listeners, was selected for the smartphone game “Project Sekai,” and became a hot topic.

Cranking it up might boost your hype even more!

I did a solo acoustic performance of Buriki no Dance.

Addictively irresistible—a monumental pillar of Vocaloid rock! Hinata Denkou’s “BURIKI NO DANCE” was released in 2013.

Its high-speed progression becomes more and more addictive the more you listen; before you know it, your body starts keeping the beat on its own.

A distinctive feature of this song is that many sections, like the A melody, are built on a single chord.

While the simplicity demands technique in “how to express the song’s world,” the fact that there are fewer chords to memorize is a relieving factor, isn’t it?

Setsuna Trip (feat. GUMI)

Take on an energetic rock number! Released in May 2012, “Setsuna Trip” packs the passion of young people who keep running toward their dreams into an up-tempo sound.

Its powerful rhythm and lively melody line give listeners a motivating push.

It’s a perfect Vocaloid track for boosting your energy.

Instead of diving straight into a fast tempo, start by practicing slowly until you can play it comfortably!

To die is so pathetic!jīzasu P64rank/position

[Kagamine Rin/Len] How Pathetic to Die! [MV] / Shindeshimautowa Nasakenai!

“To die would be so pathetic!” This song is a poppy, comical piece inspired by the king from an RPG, right? I can’t get enough of the heroic, adventure-style vibe that comes through in the melody, the lyrics, and the Famicom-like pixel art PV.

With characters like the cleric and the mage, the story unfolds over a rhythmic sound as they cut down enemies and head off to rescue the princess.

Pay attention to Jesus-P’s signature, highly original lyrics.

Their sharp social satire and the pointed message that mocks the folly of human conflict really resonate with listeners.

Kagamine Len Original Song: “Butterfly on the Right Shoulder”

This is a 2009 track by Nori-P that beautifully blends a stylish sound with bittersweet romance.

A Kagamine Rin version was released in April, followed by a Koi version in May, and both have enjoyed great popularity.

It features a somewhat mature vocal tone and a melody reminiscent of 1990s J-pop.

You’ll be drawn into the song’s alluring world, which portrays a precarious romantic relationship.

If you want to look cool at karaoke, be sure to give this song a try.

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

“Kyōfū All Back” is often seen as a gag song, but in fact it has a narrow vocal range, little melodic movement, and a steady tempo.

It’s a Vocaloid track that scores well in karaoke: the more calmly and straightforwardly you sing it without overacting, the higher your score tends to be.

Some of my students really like this song, and lessons were a lot of fun with them singing along enthusiastically! I was also happy to hear them say their karaoke scores went up.

The melody relies heavily on bounce and breaks—those gaps are crucial—so if you pay attention there, your timing will match and your pitch accuracy will improve.

It also helps to sing with crisp, clear diction.

Candy Cookie Chocolate 🍭🍪🍫 Hatsune Miku · Kasane Teto SV

It’s a pop song with an irresistibly addictive vibe: a cute world filled with the names of sweet treats, yet hiding a slightly cynical message underneath.

Vocaloid producer Harokeru not only wrote and composed it but also created the video, released in December 2024.

The rhythmic phrases and playful wordplay are delightful, and just listening makes you want to move.

At the same time, the lyrics—portraying an attitude fixated on appearances while ignoring what’s inside, and a mindset prone to chasing trends—deliver a striking wake-up call.

If you’re in the mood for something that’s not just sweet, why not give it a listen? Enjoy it with the colorful visuals, and it’ll blow away those tangled feelings of love.

Imperial Girl / R Sound Design feat. Hatsune Miku - Imperial Girl

A song marked by a sophisticated melody that nestles into the urban night.

Created by R Sound Design, it was released in 2017 and was also included on the album “City Girl Syndrome,” which came out in November of the same year.

Its sound incorporates elements of city pop and funk, and the lyrics, which abstractly portray emotions like loneliness and self-loss, resonate deeply.

It’s the perfect track to listen to while walking through the city at night.

When you’re worn out by the hustle and bustle, this song will soothe your heart.

People Maniac – Kasane Teto

This piece fuses an electronic texture with dance music, highlighted by Kasane Teto’s mechanical singing voice.

It’s the Vocaloid debut track by Sasuke Haraguchi, released in August 2023, which ranked 11th in the Bococore 2023 Summer TOP100 category.

The lyrics, themed around social media and people-watching, depict contemporary emotions such as distortion, fabrication, and guilt sensed from others’ words and actions.

Its distinctive arrangement—where addictive, repetitive phrases intertwine with wavering synths—sticks in your head after just one listen.

While experimental with dubstep elements, it remains catchy; a Vocaloid number that will especially resonate with those who feel the hardships of modern society.

Thinking of You All Night Long – TOKOTOKO (Nishizawa-sanP) feat. GUMI

This piece was posted to Nico Nico Douga in March 2014.

It’s a Vocalo-rock track by TOKOTOKO, sung with GUMI’s clear, soaring vocals.

Amid swirling anxieties of the times and gloomy headlines, it expresses a wish to keep believing in the feeling of caring for someone.

The catchy, guitar-driven band sound is exhilarating—you can’t help but get drawn in.

Be sure to check out the 10th-anniversary rearranged version released in 2024, too.
