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!

EMBLEMUtsu P

Utsu-P – EMBLEM feat. GUMI

EMBLEMUtsu P

A heart-stirring track where intensity and delicacy coexist.

Released by Utsu-P in July 2024, it features a heavy musical style and GUMI’s powerful vocals.

The lyrics, which explore discomfort with society and the search for self-identity, are striking, vividly portraying the struggles of people living in the modern age.

Coupled with its weighty sound, it’s a work that leaves a deep impression on listeners.

While following Utsu-P’s signature style, the song is even more refined.

It’s a must-listen for those who feel life is difficult or who haven’t yet found their sense of purpose.

Ghosts and FruitItaby

Ghosts and Fruit (long ver.) / Hatsune Miku.mp4

Ghosts and FruitItaby

Guided by the mysterious timbres of electronica, this instrumental piece invites you into a wondrous world.

Composed by Itaby, the track was released in July 2024.

Its expansive soundstage and depth are pleasing to the ear, carrying a charm that makes you want to listen again and again.

Elements from various genres blend together to create a uniquely atmospheric feel.

The contrast between “ghost” and “fruit” suggested by the title seems to hint at themes such as past and future, memory and ripening.

This work leaves a quiet afterglow, awakening each listener’s own emotions and interpretations.

It may be the perfect track for those seeking music that resonates with the heart.

Grand GuignolRuLu

RuLu – Grand Guignol feat. Hatsune Miku

Grand GuignolRuLu

Perhaps due to its mysterious sense of chord progression, this high-sense rock tune offers a depth that feels just out of reach.

It’s a work by Vocaloid producer RuLu, released in 2022, and it participated in the BokaColle 2022 Autumn TOP 100 ranking.

The sound image—combining a mature band sound with release-cut piano—is outrageously cool.

You won’t be able to stop turning up the volume.

The way it leads into the chorus is stylish and liberating.

The fantasy-tinged, decadent lyrical worldview is also part of its charm.

My First Hmou ishida

My First H

My First Hmou ishida

You might not be able to guess it from the title, but this is a Vocaloid track that makes you feel like you’re looking at contemporary art.

It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Mou Ishida, released in March 2023.

It ranked 4th in the Rookie category of VocaColle Spring 2023.

Describing it as “glitch art expressed in sound” might give you a vague idea…

but honestly, it’s faster if you just listen to it.

The sound, the melody, the lyrics, and the music video—every single part is incredible.

Refectoryaruku hito

Refectory / Walking Person feat. Hatsune Miku & Kazehiki β

Refectoryaruku hito

The piece Refactory by the Vocaloid producer Aruku Hito portrays a heartwarming morning scene.

In this work, Hatsune Miku and Kazehiki β sing about the leisurely moments of the morning and the way the day begins from there.

While it has a warm atmosphere, it also seems to reveal glimpses of loneliness and anxiety.

Listening to this piece may offer comfort and courage.

Incidentally, the title likely refers to the English word “refectory,” meaning a dining hall.
