[Latest] A roundup of Vocaloid songs recommended for teens [Classics]

A noonday blaze searing us apartkonnichiwa Tanida-san

Flames of the noonday heat sear us far apart / Hello, Mr. Tanita – Lossy Encoding / Hello Tanitasan

An alternative Vocaloid track whose ingenious sound image somehow stirs up a sense of nostalgia.

It’s a song released under Tatsuya Kitani’s Vocaloid producer alias, Konnichiwa Tanita-san, published in August 2025 and included on the compilation album “Eingebrannt.” Its appeal lies in literary lyrics that trace memories of summers that have receded into the distant past, paired with a sound that blends weightless drift and cool poise.

The cruelty of passing time—and, because of it, the precious radiance of each fleeting moment—soaks deeply into the heart.

Give it a listen when you’re in the mood to indulge in a touch of sentimentality.

MarshmallowDECO*27

DECO*27 – Marshmallow feat. Hatsune Miku

This work, released for streaming in October 2025 by DECO*27, who continues to lead the forefront of the Vocaloid scene, is a mixture rock number brimming with intensity despite its sweet title.

It portrays the mindset of a protagonist who realizes the relationship is false and tries to sever the other’s deceit, lining up sharp words that challenge the very act of professing love.

With a song structure interweaving hard guitar riffs and rap sections, it delivers an aggressive sound.

VTuber Laplus Darknesss joins the chorus.

It may resonate especially with those who have suffered through a fabricated romance.

KINGKanaria

【GUMI】KING【Kanaria】

This song draws you into a dramatic world that portrays a ruler on the throne and their downfall.

It’s a signature work by Kanaria, who made a name for themselves with their second release, and it was published in August 2020.

The lyrics contain motifs of execution reminiscent of the French Revolution and deep themes surrounding power and control, prompting a wide range of interpretations from listeners.

The exhilarating beat and seamlessly unfolding melody line are irresistible.

Many cover videos by vocalists and VTubers have also been posted, so it’s fun to compare different versions!

Donut holehachi

Hachi – Donut Hole, HACHI – DONUT HOLE

This song uses the sensation of “having a hole” as a metaphor to depict the sense of loss and emptiness that everyone carries.

Created by Hachi in October 2013 after about two years and nine months, it also has a self-cover version included on the album YANKEE.

Characterized by an alternative rock sound and GUMI’s heartrending vocals, it captures the movement of a heart that strives to move forward while accepting what’s broken.

In October 2024, a collaboration project with the premium chocolate brand GODIVA was realized.

It’s a work that resonates with those who feel as if there’s a hole in their hearts, yet continue searching for something nonetheless.

kinda godlikePinokio P

PinocchioP – God-ish feat. Hatsune Miku / God-ish

The lyrics, which challenge the values of modern society, are startling in the best way.

This track by multi-creator PinocchioP was released in September 2021.

Its fast-paced, electropop sound is striking, interwoven with the philosophical phrase “Gott ist tot (God is dead).” Set to a catchy melody, it portrays contemporary people swayed by fads and trends.

Through contrasts like appearance versus essence and authority versus doubt, the song questions the things we unconsciously take on faith.

It’s a recommended number for those who feel a sense of unease about everyday life or want to immerse themselves in PinocchioP’s distinctive worldview.

Douke HeroKuratu

Doke Hero / Kuratu feat. Hatsune Miku

This work fuses two opposing figures into one: the comical clown and the saving hero.

Created by Kuratu, it’s set for release in December 2025.

As a multi-creator who handles everything from songwriting and composition to illustration, Kuratu crafts a world where sound and visuals are tightly interwoven.

The lyrics portray the struggle of fighting for others while nearly losing oneself, and the blend of self-mockery and hope stirs the heart.

They smile like a clown, but beneath it lies desperation.

It’s a piece I especially recommend to those who tend to push themselves too hard for someone else.

playing at cagesRuliea

Cage Play / Hatsune Miku

This song unfolds a suffocating yet beautiful world, built around the motifs of a sealed room and a keyhole.

It’s a Hatsune Miku track by Vocaloid producer Ruliea, posted to Mushoku Toumeisai 3 in November 2025.

From the perspective of a protagonist living within a predetermined relationship, it portrays love as a blessing in disguise that is in fact a curse.

The feeling that a room enclosed by white walls seems more real than the blue sky outside, and the psychology of surrendering freedom while clinging to the slightest affection, are depicted with delicate nuance.

The sound arrangement—where tight beats, shimmering synths, and delicate piano coexist—is also a highlight.
