Vocaloid Anime Song Compilation [From Opening/Ending Themes to Cover Works]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

Hey everyone, are you enjoying music? In this article, I’ve put together “Vocaloid anime songs”—that is, tracks used as anime theme songs and anime song covers performed by Vocaloids.

Lately, it’s common to see Vocaloid and human-singer versions released at the same time.

Including those kinds of works, I’ve tried to cast a wide net, so you’re sure to find at least one track that suits your taste.

It’s a lineup I can recommend to both anime fans and Vocaloid fans! Be sure to read to the end!
