Sand Planethachi

Hachi – Sand Planet feat. Hatsune Miku, HACHI – DUNE ft. Miku Hatsune

Kenshi Yonezu, now known as a leading figure in the Japanese music scene, released “Sand Planet” in 2017 under his vocaloid producer alias Hachi.

The song unfolds a story with a sci-fi movie-like worldview and showcases Hatsune Miku’s versatile vocals.

Its guitar- and piano-driven sound, which seems to push along the protagonist walking across the sand, is also striking.

It’s a track that lets you fully savor the musicality of this artist, who can be considered a quintessential Vocaloid producer.

The Disappearance of Hatsune MikucosMo@bousou P

The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku (THE END OF HATSUNE MIKU) – cosMo@Bousou-P

For people in their 20s looking for a mechanical Vocaloid track packed with Hatsune Miku’s essence, I recommend “Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu” (“The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku”).

Created in 2008 by cosMo@Bousou-P, a key figure who supported the early days of the Vocaloid scene, the song is striking for its ultra-fast Miku vocals that unfold like tongue twisters.

The sound is heavy yet poppy electronica reminiscent of video game music.

Pay attention to the poignant lyrics that express feelings of parting, too.

It’s a classic that’s indispensable when talking about the early Vocaloid scene.

Give it a listen while recalling memories from when Hatsune Miku first appeared.

I’ll come see you.reinou

I’ll come to see you / reinou feat. Chifuyu Hanakuma (Stairway to you)

It’s not just sweet—you might feel the pulse of a real romance.

This is a track by Vocaloid producer reinou, released in February 2026.

It’s the MV version of a song included on the compilation album “n/m,” which centers on tracks in irregular time signatures.

The piece skillfully conveys the mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety unique to going to meet someone you love, riding on a rhythm of changing meters.

It’s a meticulous work that makes even that wavering feel precious, and it will gently nudge the hearts of those who’ve grown timid about love.

Exploding Brain Girlrereriri

Brain Fluid Explosion Girl – rerulili feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI

Nōshō Sakuretsu Girl is a hugely popular song that could be said to have supported the early days of the Vocaloid boom.

Based on this track, the story expanded across media—manga, novels, stage productions—and even became a film starring Hinata Kashiwagi from Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku.

Its lightning-fast vocal lines, impossible to imagine from the jazzy intro, overwhelm listeners, and the piano melody that chases—and even overtakes—the singing is another highlight.

If you like high-speed tracks, you should definitely give it a listen.
