[Kasane Teto] Yoshiwara Lament [Original]

How about a Japanese-style Vocaloid song that draws you into a glossy, wistful world? Composed by Asa, a Vocaloid producer who also performs as the bassist for Wagakki Band, this piece was released in 2012.

Set in an Edo-period red-light district, its highly narrative lyrics captivatingly depict the heartrending feelings of a courtesan.

The fusion of traditional Japanese timbres with rock sounds creates a melody that seizes your heart the instant the intro begins.

The work later expanded into various media—adapted into a novel, a drama CD, and even used as material for a Kabuki production—garnering wide attention.

It has also been featured in numerous rhythm games, making it popular with a broad audience.

The distinctive prelude is perfect for warming up the crowd as a quiz prompt.

I really, really, really, really, really hate it.Ame Ryou77rank/position

Dai-Dai-Dai-Dai-Dai I Hate You / Amala feat. Hatsune Miku VS Kasane Teto

This is a track where Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto clash intensely.

Released in March 2025 and issued as the artist’s first nationally distributed single, it drew attention on multiple fronts, including a feature on the TV show “Buzz Rhythm 02” and inclusion in the rhythm games “Ongeki” and “Taiko no Tatsujin.” The lyrics, which depict a codependent relationship and craving for validation—hurling insults at each other yet unable to part—really hit home.

The music video’s striking red-and-blue contrast and the easy-to-copy choreography also became talking points.

Crank it up and enjoy.

Ah, the wonderful nyan lifeNem78rank/position

Ah, It’s a Wonderful Cat Life / GUMI, Kagamine Len

A curiosity for freedom and happiness, told from a cat’s point of view, tickles the heart.

Released by Nem in June 2011, this song is included on the album Gliese.

The lives portrayed from both a stray cat’s and a house cat’s perspectives are fascinating! The playful banter between the free-spirited stray and the elegant house cat is captivating, and it feels like it could resonate with the daily worries and joys of high school students.

Especially when your mind is full of thoughts about love, friendship, or the future, give this song a listen.

The cats’ sense of adventure and their longing for comfort are sure to strike a chord with you.

Lonely EnvyDenporu P79rank/position

Lonely Envy - Acoustic Solo (Rikako)

It’s a song characterized by the rhythm section and the tense guitar lines riding on top, but if you match your strumming to the original, you can get a similar feel even with just an acoustic guitar—so try playing with that in mind.

There aren’t any particularly difficult chords overall, but chords like D/F#, which requires gripping the neck and fretting the 6th string with your thumb, and B7, which you need to fret with all four fingers standing, appear here and there.

If you’re not used to changing chords, practice slowly until you can fret them cleanly.

Since the tempo isn’t that fast, it’s a recommended number for beginners as well.

Last Resort / Hatsune Miku

Ayase, the composer for the music duo YOASOBI, which has garnered immense support from Gen Z, is also active as a Vocaloid producer.

Among his songs, the one with the highest key is Last Resort.

It was included on the 2019 album Ghost City Tokyo.

The track features a deep sound with a melancholic atmosphere.

Be sure to pay attention to Hatsune Miku’s languid vocals as she sings of a bittersweet love.

Because the song unfolds with an orthodox melody line, it’s also recommended for beginners to Vocaloid music.

Try singing it with a high, conversational tone in mind.
