a floating sensationEVE
The song “Fuyukan” included on Eve’s third album OFFICIAL NUMBER—his first work to be distributed nationwide—is a track provided by Vocaloid producer Harufuri.
Its tight rock ensemble is a number that lifts the tension.
While it spans a wide vocal range, the overall key is low, making it approachable even for those not very confident in their singing.
However, the breathing timing—especially in the chorus—can be tricky, so before you start singing, think about which phrases to breathe in so it sounds natural.
WINTER STORYFLOW
The rock band FLOW, which drew attention with their cover of Kaientai’s Okuru Kotoba and has produced numerous anime theme songs, released the digital single Winter Story in 2022.
The track was chosen as the campaign song for NACK5, a Saitama FM radio station, for its Winter Station Campaign.
Its Motown-flavored beat—reminiscent of The Supremes’ You Can’t Hurry Love—makes you feel happy as you listen.

This song emphasizes female empowerment, delivering a confident and powerful message that leaves a strong impression.
Released in March 2015, it drew major worldwide attention, reaching No.
12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Its sound blends dance-pop and R&B, with noticeable influences from Balkan music.
The saxophone melody stands out, and the catchy refrain sticks in your head.

Its lyrics vividly depict the beautiful contrast between a bleak winter nightscape and the warmth of human sentiment.
Released in October 2021, the song is packed with GLAY’s passion for music.

Released in 2012 and continuing to be a long-running hit, the song features a bright sound that energizes listeners.
Its message of cherishing each day also resonates as gratitude and support for working people.
In 2024, it was featured for a limited time on Universal Studios Japan’s attraction “Hollywood Dream – The Ride,” uplifting many visitors.
It’s a perfect song for Labor Thanksgiving Day—one to listen to in appreciation of yourself and the important people who work hard every day.
Way with CReWGReeeeN
The song “Way with CReW,” included on the 8th album UreD, features lyrics that evoke a sense of camaraderie and, together with its laid-back beat, truly stir the heart.
Because the vocal range is narrow and the melody is simple and relaxed, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
However, since there are overlapping vocal parts, if you’re singing alone, be mindful of the melodic flow and connections; if you’re singing with friends, try dividing the parts to make it easier.
Give it a try as a reference.
ULTRA C ft. Rin & LenGiga & TeddyLoid
The track “ULTRA C ft.
Rin/Len,” by Giga—known as a former member of REOL—and TeddyLoid, who commands massive support from the Vocaloid scene with his high-sense musicality.
It’s a work bursting with that signature TeddyLoid flair, once again delivering a level of musical sophistication rarely seen in past Vocaloid tracks.
As a result, the vocal demands are also high, featuring a very challenging vocal line that weaves together soaring highs and deep lows reminiscent of K-pop.
Vocaloid is difficult to begin with, but this piece ranks among the most demanding—so definitely give it a try.
