A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

And the moment you unexpectedly come across a great song, your mood soars too.

In this article, I’m going to introduce lots of Vocaloid tracks that will get you hyped.

They’re all masterpieces that will slam your motivation switch to ON!

Yamada PERFECTjon-YAKITORY

YAMADA PERFECT / jon-YAKITORY, Hatsune Miku

Yamada PERFECT jon - YAKITORY

It’s a track that boosts your energy just by listening! Created by jon-YAKITORY and released in July 2024.

The distinctive instrumentation blends electronic sounds with pop elements, leaving a strong impression.

Combined with Hatsune Miku’s powerful vocals, it captivates listeners.

The lyrics convey the emptiness of chasing perfection and the struggle to meet others’ expectations, delivering a message that resonates.

Its sharp satire of modern society contrasts with the energetic tone, which is part of its appeal.

Highly recommended when you want to flip your motivation switch or face yourself.

Amanojaku164

Amano Jakku / 164 feat. GUMI (Official)

Amano-jaku 164

What this title—playing on the word “Amanojaku” (a contrary, contrary-hearted spirit)—evokes is a feeling of “not being able to be honest,” isn’t it? Those hazy, fragile stirrings of the heart are sung over a pop, cool band sound.

The song, cried out as if appealing to you, both invites empathy and shakes the hearts of those who listen.

"MV" Senbonzakura WhiteFlame feat. Hatsune Miku

Senbonzakura by Kurousa-P

It’s a popular song that many people know even if they’re not VOCALOID fans, thanks to performances by the veteran enka singer Sachiko Kobayashi and its use in commercials.

You could even say it needs no introduction.

The Japanese-style rock sound is simply irresistible.

The song, titled with the Japanese word for “angel,” is incredibly addictive.

The lyrics are fascinating—just when you think they’re celebrating birth, they can also be read as ironic, prompting a lot of reflection.

But above all, the real charm lies in the music.

Depending on the section, the melodies and sounds vary dramatically, revealing many different facets.

The vocals are lovely, of course, but do try listening closely to the music at least once.

Box One Turbo ~n Maxi Ukyo

An exhilarating, up-tempo track that makes you want to start moving! Created by MaxiUkyou and released in July 2024, this piece was made for rhythm games and features a catchy melody and distinctive rhythms.

Words like “box” and “one-two-burn” in the title are used with rhyming effects, making the phrases really stick in your head.

It’s become popular among Taiko no Tatsujin fans.

I think it’s a perfect song for a change of pace or when you want to get motivated!

A Seabed Tale of Crinoidsn-buna

[Nabuna × Jam] Umiyuri Kaiteitan / The Undersea Story of Water Lily [English Sub]

Umiyuri Seabed Tale n-buna

This is a masterpiece created by n-buna, who has also drawn attention as a member of the band Yorushika.

The bold band sound colors the entire piece, brimming with an energy that makes you want to shout.

And set to that music are n-buna’s characteristically thought-provoking, intricate lyrics that, for some reason, still strike the heart.

Despite the title including “Kaitei” (Seabed), n-buna commented, “Alright, let’s go to the sky!”—please enjoy this world to the fullest.
