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!

Butter-Fly ~Hatsune Miku Version~ Mikito-P

The universally beloved anime song “Butter-Fly” celebrates its 20th anniversary, and “Butter-Fly ~Hatsune Miku Version~” has been brought to life through a collaboration between Hatsune Miku and Digimon Adventure.

Arranged by Mikito-P, known for hits like “Ii Aru Fanclub” and “Roki,” the song’s original blend of poignancy and strength is captured beautifully.

Ever since its 1999 release, this track has charmed many, and its appeal lies in lyrics that make you want to look forward even in the face of hardship and sadness.

Hatsune Miku’s vocals match not only in precision but also perfectly convey the sentimental message!

Hacking to the Gate Kanako Itou × Hatsune Miku

This is a work in which Miku sings the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime Steins;Gate.

Despite faithfully reproducing elements like the original song’s vocal accents, it still retains that distinctive Hatsune Miku quality, which is wonderful.

GO! GO! MANIAC Afternoon Tea Time × Hatsune Miku

The opening theme of the anime K-ON!, which depicts high school girls in a light music club racing through their youth, “GO! GO! MANIAC,” is a high-energy rock number that showcases technical performance.

Its fast tempo and densely packed lyrics make it perfect for Hatsune Miku’s vocals! The way the high notes are handled and the energizing chorus feel strikingly human.

It’s as if the K-ON! characters and Hatsune Miku are sharing the same stage!

Spin! Setsugetsuka Utagumi (Snow, Moon, and Flowers) × Hatsune Miku

Packed with lyrics and instrumentation that evoke traditional Japanese aesthetics, “Maware! Setsugetsuka” is an irresistibly catchy, high-energy track.

Released in 2013 by the music unit Utakumi Setsugetsuka, it was used as the ending theme for the anime Unbreakable Machine-Doll.

The rapid-fire, tongue-twister-like lyrics are a perfect match for the Utakumi Setsugetsuka × Hatsune Miku collaboration! In addition to a distinctly Japanese flavor—like four-character idioms and taiko drum sounds—the bass lines add a dance music flair.

One of Vocaloid’s charms is its ability to flawlessly deliver songs at speeds that would be difficult for human singers.

This is a piece sung by Hatsune Miku, featuring the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Kantai Collection -KanColle-.” The original track is notable for its powerful vocals, but this version’s clear, transparent vocal work suits it beautifully in its own right.

Soothing yet cool!

Gurenge LiSA × Yuzuki Yukari

Gurenge is a powerful song that gives you the courage to rise even through sorrow.

LiSA’s overwhelming vocals and expressive power are brilliantly covered by Yuzuki Yukari! Originally used as the opening theme for the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, its lyrics compellingly express the strength to keep moving forward in a harsh, unforgiving world.

Perhaps because Yuzuki Yukari’s voice sounds so close to a human singer’s, she fully conveys the song’s inherent appeal.

Be sure to listen to their collaboration at least once!

Let me introduce a captivating song where fierce guitar rock blends with adorably sweet lyrics! JUDY AND MARY’s 1996 release “Sobakasu” was featured in the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story and remains a beloved rock number across generations.

The cute lyrics written by YUKI suit Hatsune Miku’s image perfectly! Even the parts that are hard to sing are covered skillfully, making this a very listener-friendly collaboration track.
