Poppippo (V3 Edition) - Hatsune Miku by LamazeP

It’s a bright, pop-style Vocaloid song! Released on Nico Nico Douga in December 2008, “PoPiPo” features a unique theme: a love for vegetable juice.

Its cute vocals and addictive melody captivated many listeners, inspiring a flood of derivative works.

Since it’s built on a simple rhythm, I think it’s also easy to express on the piano.

Play with a bouncy feel to bring out a cheerful atmosphere!

[official] Paradichlorobenzene feat. Owata-P (Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin)

A song that’s famous as one you want to listen to when you’re mentally exhausted is Owata-P’s “Paradichlorobenzene,” whose lyrics, melody, and music video are all crafted with a dark tone.

By the way, “paradichlorobenzene” is a chemical used in products like mothballs.

This song was released in 2009, but there’s an anecdote that it was produced on a very low-capacity computer running Windows Vista, which came out in 2006.

Compared to today, when DTM (computer-based music production) environments are well established, it really shows how times have changed.

Therefore Suneru Kajitsu 'Traffic Jam' with Flower [Official] - Traffic jam

It’s a highly addictive rock number that sharply captures the darker side of modern society! This is a signature work by the Vocaloid producer Nirukajitsu, known for a unique worldview and razor-sharp linguistic sensibility, released in August 2019.

It’s also included on the compilation album “ZERO to ONE.” The lyrics, which satirize the herd mentality of flaunting a sense of justice, strike deep into the listener’s heart.

The uneasy yet danceable beat and v flower’s thorny vocals will stick in your head after just one listen.

It’s also featured in the popular rhythm game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku,” making it widely beloved.

Give it a listen when you’re worn out by the daily clamor or when you’re in the mood for a good cathartic rush.

[GUMI] Wrinkles [Official Video]

It’s a pure love song that looks back on a life walked together with someone precious.

It’s a track by buzzG, released in 2012.

The original version is included on the album “AMPLOID,” and a rearranged version appears on “THE WALL.” The emotional guitar sound blends beautifully with GUMI’s clear vocals.

And the lyric world—“wrinkles as proof of happiness that increase precisely because you spend so long with the one you love”—is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

It’s a song that will resonate deeply when you’re facing a turning point in life.

Ultra Trailer / Kasane Teto SV

My heart dances to this punchy, full-throttle Teto track that blazes ahead on a roaring beat! It’s the third song by Vocaloid producer Masalada, who shot to prominence with the debut track “Liar Dancer,” and it was released in November 2023.

The opening spills out rock-bottom emotions, but from there it paints a resolve to dive into a chaotic future, giving listeners a strong push forward.

The surging bassline, relentless rhythm, and the overwhelming climax in the final chorus are breathtaking.

It’s perfect for party scenes when you want to crank up the energy!

Spring Storm / Hatsune Miku

John’s song “Spring Storm” is a long-beloved number that portrays the difficulty of self-expression.

Centered on the struggles of expressing oneself in the online age, it delivers a message that resonates with people living today.

The contrast between its profound lyrics and its light, upbeat melody is irresistible.

It feels great to nail it at karaoke—get into the groove and give it a try!

GarandPikon87rank/position

Picon – Garand ft. Hatsune Miku

If you want to sing a stylish Vocaloid song, this one’s for you.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Picon, released in 2018.

The mellow track with a laid-back rhythm is striking, and listening to it naturally helps you relax.

The melody has a rap-like feel, but the tempo is slow, so it should be easy to try.

In particular, the lower-pitched melody line sung by Picon himself is recommended for those who struggle with high notes.

To bring out the song’s easygoing vibe, try singing while gently swaying your body from side to side.

OverrideYoshida Yayo88rank/position

Override – Kasane Teto SV [Yase Yoshida]

Since its release in November 2023, Override has become a newly etched hit in Vocaloid history, thanks to its catchy melody, breakneck-speed dance music, and lyrics that, while packed with references, still evoke a sense of inner darkness.

The producer, Yose Yoshida, originally worked at a company as a programmer, and reconsidering the title and lyrics in light of that background may reveal a variety of meanings.

If you’re going to sing it at karaoke, keeping up with the speed is the first prerequisite, but you might be surprised how far sheer momentum can carry you—and the melody itself is extremely catchy—so definitely give it a try.

Hachioji-P “Kimagure Mercy feat. Hatsune Miku” (included on the best album “Eight,” releasing 6/15)

Hachioji-P’s songs are widely popular as dance tunes.

This track features a pop sound and comical lyrics, themed around the frustrations of love.

Released in June 2016, it became a hot topic in the Vocaloid community.

Its up-tempo rhythm and Hatsune Miku’s vocals briskly express the complex emotions of romance.

The way it sings about dissatisfaction with a partner and feelings of resignation, sprinkled with humor, resonates with many listeners.

Numerous dance-cover videos have been posted on social media, and the song is hugely popular among Vocaloid fans.

It’s a recommended track for those struggling with love or looking for a refreshing change of mood.

Laplace ChocolatKai90rank/position

LAPLACE CHOCOLAT / Hatsune Miku

This is a Valentine’s song sung by Hatsune Miku that blends a sweet, pop vibe with the ache of unrequited love.

Composed by Kai, a short version was released in February 2023, followed by a full version in 2024.

Using the concept of “Laplace’s demon,” proposed by a French mathematician, it expresses the frustrating feelings one has for someone they like.

Its cute sound and somewhat innocent vocals are also distinctive.

It’s a song we especially recommend during White Day season for anyone carrying feelings for someone special.
