I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

The voice library “Hatsune Miku” was released in 2007, and since then the Vocaloid scene has steadily expanded.

Because of that, the age range of Vocaloid fans is quite broad.

There are all kinds of cases: “I got into it in elementary school,” “I still enjoy it as a working adult,” or even “my parents’ generation listens to it.”

In this article, we’re picking out Vocaloid tracks recommended for people in their 20s.

From nostalgic classics to the hottest current hits, we’ve selected a wide range.

If you haven’t listened to Vocaloid songs recently, let this be your cue to dive back in!

Aliey:S who can never become an adult

This is an up-tempo track that carries a bittersweet, melancholic message.

It’s a song by Aliey:S, released in March 2025.

No matter how much time passes, there are things you can’t forget—the lyrics, infused with the ache of parting, really hit home.

As I listen, the faces of friends I no longer see come to mind.

I especially recommend it to those who can relate to the fluctuating emotions of adolescence, or who are searching for their own sense of self.

DREAM CATCHER / Kiyoteru Hiyama

DREAM CATCHER Mystery J

This number portrays the feeling of your spirit wearing down as you face success that seems within reach yet slips away.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Nazo J, who builds a unique world under the name “Hatters,” it was released in August 2025.

It was a participating track in the BOCALOID Collection 2025 Summer TOP100 ranking.

The lyrics depict an unrequited protagonist who repeatedly challenges and exhausts themselves within a game that has no mechanism for victory.

Kiyoteru Hiyama’s clear vocals poignantly convey that impatience and longing.

It’s a song that cuts deep into the hearts of those worn out by pursuing goals and feeling powerless.

Inabakumori “Lost Umbrella” Vo. Kaai Yuki

Lost Umbrella Inabakumori

A blend of ennui and coolness—once it hooks you, you can’t escape—this is irresistible Vocalo-rock.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Inabakumori, who won over overseas Vocaloid fans with the smash hit “Lagtrain,” and it was released in 2018.

Despite its sense of speed, it feels different from an upper-tune, likely thanks to the understated melody and Yuki’s whispery vocals.

And the arrangement—centered on two chords that create a wide dynamic range, as heard in the intro—deserves nothing but admiration for its finesse.

Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

Strong Wind Slicked-Back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki) - Yukopi

Yukopi is a Vocaloid producer whose music is characterized by a surreal, inorganic quality that still carries a certain cuteness—an impression that really stands out.

Among Yukopi’s many great tracks, perhaps the most widely known is “Gale All-Back (feat.

Kaai Yuki).” Even those not familiar with Vocaloid may recognize it from commercials and the like.

While the melody feels mechanical, the vocal line’s gentle contours make it very easy to sing.
