A laid-back Vocaloid rap that seems perfect for sweet dreams if you listen before bed.
The track is by Vocaloid producer Meganagame, released on October 14, 2020—Railway Day.
It was reportedly created around the theme of departure.
A mellow vocal rides over a soft, gentle track, creating a fluffy, airy atmosphere.
It’s the kind of song that makes you want to listen closely.
The lyrics, which push forward despite carrying regret and anxiety, are genuinely encouraging.
Perfect for those days when you’re feeling a bit worn out.
Jesuschiitana
I can’t get enough of how it transitions into the intro from that gradually approaching sound image—it’s just too cool! This track was released in 2019 by Vocaloid producer Chiitana.
A mature and slightly mysterious love story is sung over a cool flow.
The four-on-the-floor rhythm feels great.
ColchicumKedarui
A stylish Vocaloid rap whose soft acoustic guitar tones gently shake your eardrums.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Kedarui, known for hits like “Heartbreak ≒ Blues,” it was released in 2019.
Although it’s introduced as a Vocaloid rap, the chorus is built around a catchy melody.
In other words, it’s a track I can recommend even to rap beginners.
The main dish is not enough.Miyamori Bungaku
“Main Dish Isn’t Enough” is a track by Fumibun Miyamori, released in July 2024.
Sung by four Vocaloids including Hatsune Miku, the song uses a meal as a metaphor to express unfulfilled desires.
Riding on dazzling synths and a brisk beat, it conveys a ravenous mindset.
Miyamori previously won the Grand Prix in the Magical Mirai 2023 Song Contest, and this piece fully showcases that talent—be sure to give it a listen.
Crazy Beatsatsuki ga tenkomori
A 2018 track by Satsuki ga Tenkomori, known for technopop.
It surpassed a million in 2020.
From the very first lines, the soaring vocals are unbeatable—instant Dance Dance Revolution vibes.
You might find yourself nodding along without even noticing.
True to its title, “Crazy Beat,” the beat is of course on point, and the rap feels great, too! It has a club-scene atmosphere that makes you want to throw your hands up and dance.
Everyone sing and dance—yes, ONCE AGAIN!
Robinbarabara
I’m drawn to the slightly off-pitch sound image and the rolled-tongue vocal work.
It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Barabara-san, released in December 2022.
Because of the distinctive tuning, it can sound like the lyrics are entirely in English, but in reality it’s roughly half Japanese and half English.
If you make music with Vocaloid, you’ll especially appreciate how impressive the arrangement techniques are.
The flow, the decadent lyrics, and the trap-style sound fit together perfectly.
Highway LoverMikito P
There’s a version sung by Megurine Luka, produced by vocalist Shuzu and Mikito-P.
It has a sharp edge yet a mellow vibe that’s really lovely.
The song is about a man and woman in the city.
The chorus melts like honey, while still carrying a touch of melancholy that draws you in.
I also love the human warmth to it—it doesn’t feel mechanical.
As the lyrics suggest, it gives off a city-pop image, so it’s especially recommended for fans of that genre.
The possibilities of Vocaloid are truly endless!
