Released in January 2016 and included on the album “GHOST” later that year, its popularity has never waned.

It’s a classic every Vocaloid fan knows, so give it a listen when you want to fire up a karaoke session or let your emotions explode.

Until I Hold You Tight / feat. KAFU

This is a song with a gentle tone that soothes a tired heart.

Created by MIMI, it was released in February 2022.

The warm sound of the piano and KAFU’s soft vocals resonate deeply.

The lyrics are notable for their empathy toward those carrying loneliness and solitude, offering quiet companionship on nights spent alone.

It’s a recommended track for moments when you feel unsettled or wish someone were by your side.

Amanojaku1643rank/position

Amano Jakku / 164 feat. GUMI (Official)

Amano-jaku has a band sound with a really cool bassline.

The overall vocal range is G#3 to G5, and it modulates even higher in the final chorus.

If you want to nail a cool rock delivery, mixed voice is essential.

If you keep belting with a strong falsetto, your voice will gradually lock in, but breath control, explosiveness, and core strength are very important.

However, since this was for karaoke scoring this time, as long as the pitch is on, anything goes.

It might be good to think of it as practice to master mixed voice and keep singing in falsetto at first.

Keep time with your whole body so the rhythm doesn’t slip.

Mikito-P "Roki" MV

From the very first bar, the four-on-the-floor dance rock sound sends the energy soaring! This track, released in February 2018, is by Mikito-P, a hugely popular producer leading the Vocaloid scene.

It’s a duet between Kagamine Rin and Mikito-P himself, and the call-and-response style vocals are insanely cool.

The lyrics sharply portray the realities of the music industry and the struggle of self-expression in modern society, giving the song a depth that goes beyond just getting hyped.

It’s also included on the album “DAISAN WAVE,” and its overwhelming popularity has put it near the top of karaoke rankings.

It’s the kind of ultimate song that, the moment it plays in a friends’ intro quiz, makes everyone want to break into a full-on singalong!

Karakuri Pierrot40mP5rank/position

[Hatsune Miku (40mP)] Karakuri Pierrot [Original]

Among Vocaloid songs, “Karakuri Pierrot” has an exceptionally relaxed tempo.

The vocal range isn’t too high, so women can keep the original key, while men might find it just right to lower it by two to three semitones.

The small amount of lyrics is another plus! You should be able to sing steadily without rushing.

Don’t push your voice—aim for a straight, honest pitch.

The key goes up in the last chorus, but if you sing with more energy than in the first chorus, you should be able to stay steady.

For scoring systems, focus on singing as mechanically straight as possible.

Clear enunciation will also make the pitch bar respond well.
