I just wanted a diagnosis.kyiku
It’s a song with striking vocal work by Kanofu, Seikai, and Kazehiki.
Created by kyiku in September 2023, it portrays the protagonist’s inner conflict in seeking a diagnosis, expressing feelings of loneliness and despair.
The chorus line “I wanted to feel that I was loved” really grabs the heart.
It’s a deep Vocaloid track that prompts reflection on mental health and self-esteem.
It’s great to listen to alone, but I also recommend singing it with friends and sharing the empathy.
TAPloqto
Although categorized as a math rock band, loqto is a three-piece instrumental group that also draws influence from louder genres like emo and post-hardcore.
They captivate fans with complex, highly skilled musicianship and songs that are aggressive yet retain a catchy edge.
The virtuosic technique heard on TAP leaves a lasting impression with a solid, surprisingly full-bodied ensemble sound that’s hard to believe comes from a three-piece.
They’ve also been gaining attention for their potential, including embarking on split-release tours with overseas bands.

It’s a pop Vocaloid song with the feel of a cute nursery rhyme.
Created by qunta pon and released in 2015.
The sound arrangement uses a simple set of instruments, giving it a clean and easy-to-listen feel.
It was designed with birthday parties in mind, and there’s space in the song to insert a person’s name.
So it might be a hit if you sing it as a surprise at a birthday party.
The short length of the song is also a plus—easy to remember and easy to use.
Not-enough syndromerukaku
The song that delivered a fresh shock to the Vocaloid scene is “Tannee-Byo” (“Not-Enough Syndrome”).
Composed by rukaku and released in January 2024, it blends humor and realism as it portrays that feeling of lacking the “cheats” for life—motivation, money, friendship—and it’s deeply relatable.
Beneath that lies a spirit of taking on challenges and the courage to face setbacks.
Its rhythmic, catchy melody and the image of someone continually reaching forward will resonate with every young person living in the now.
Even while confronting self-doubt, it gives you the strength to move ahead.
It carries a message that’s both strong and gentle—so go ahead and press play.
