Villain / flower・Teniwoha

Villain, produced in 2020 by Teniwoha—a Vocaloid producer who also thrives as a novelist—depicts a romantic drama that carries a social critique, with a chorus whose repeated phrases leave a strong impression.

Although it’s sung by flower, known for a gender-neutral vocal tone, it’s also gained popularity on TikTok through sung cover versions.

Hiiragi Magnetite – Marshall Maximizer / KAFU

Speaking of songs packed with the mechanical charm of Vocaloid, Vocaloid producer Hiiragi Magnetite’s 2021 track “Marshall Maximizer” comes to mind.

KAFU’s super-fast vocals over a pulse-pounding, high-speed beat are absolutely adorable.

Dance videos featuring Vocaloid-style outfits and makeup, with choreography matching the lyrics, also went viral on TikTok.

Since the dance expresses the hook from just before the chorus within a short span, it pairs perfectly with short-form videos.

Kyukurarin – Iyowa

When it comes to cute Vocaloid songs with soft, airy synth tones, Kyukurarin comes to mind.

Produced by Vocaloid producer Iyowa in 2021, it features Kafu’s girlish vocals that echo gently.

On TikTok, videos offering fresh interpretations of the lyrics drew attention.

By depicting the unspoken parts of the love-struck protagonist, the song leaves a deeper impression.

Its irregular melody and beat also convey a sense of anxiety and bittersweetness.

Why not lend an ear to this Vocaloid track brimming with a girly aesthetic?

Override – Kasane Teto SV [Yase Yoshida]

Since its release in November 2023, Override has become a newly etched hit in Vocaloid history, thanks to its catchy melody, breakneck-speed dance music, and lyrics that, while packed with references, still evoke a sense of inner darkness.

The producer, Yose Yoshida, originally worked at a company as a programmer, and reconsidering the title and lyrics in light of that background may reveal a variety of meanings.

If you’re going to sing it at karaoke, keeping up with the speed is the first prerequisite, but you might be surprised how far sheer momentum can carry you—and the melody itself is extremely catchy—so definitely give it a try.
