[Rock] Easy Band-Style Vocaloid Songs for Beginners [Simple] (51–60)

Traveling Asiasekai denryoku

Traveling Asia – Nakumo & Merou / after the millennium
Traveling Asiasekai denryoku

This rhythmic track evokes a sense of Asian ambience.

Composed by World Power and released in October 2023, its lyrics—rich with imagery of walking through foreign lands and a positive message—invite listeners on a journey.

The sound feels modern yet nostalgic, and together with the visuals it offers a multisensory experience.

When creating a rendition, cherish the melody line while crafting the overall world of the song.

It’s also well-suited for an acoustic cover.

You’ll be drawn in by the noisy soundscape and vocals.

It’s a track by Producer Nashimoto-P, known for hits like “Aa aaaa aaa aaaa,” released in 2022.

The heavily distorted guitar and bass have a rugged coolness! Yet there’s a certain melancholy that tightens your chest as you listen.

It especially sinks in when you hear it alone at night.

We’ll need to practice to bring out that sheer impact—the pressure the song carries.

Nashimoto-P’s songs are often great for bands to cover, too.

I chopped a stag beetle and time-slipped.Ie no ura de manbō ga shinderu P

When I chopped a stag beetle, I time-slipped / Sunfish is dead behind my house P (Turn on subtitles, lyrics in other languages are displayed)
I chopped a stag beetle and time-slipped.Ie no ura de manbō ga shinderu P

The title is totally out there, but the song itself is a moving piece you wouldn’t expect from it.

It’s by the sibling Vocaloid unit “Ushirane de Manbou ga Shinderu P,” released in 2011, and it was popular enough to be novelized in 2013.

The lyrics have such a strong narrative that they tend to dominate your impression, but the musical style is classic, straight-ahead guitar rock.

That’s exactly why it’s so easy to slip into the song’s world.

There’s a unison guitar phrase in there, so definitely try playing it with a twin-guitar band.

a heart that buds (with new feelings)ichi ni san

A song by the Vocaloid producer Hifumi, known for a signature blend of traditional Japanese instruments and rock sound.

It was selected as the theme song for Amairo Kogesaki, a character from the mobile game #Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.

The driving band sound fused with koto and shakuhachi tones really pumps you up.

Since no part is technically demanding, it should be easy for beginner band members to cover.

If you have a keyboard player, it’s easier to handle the traditional instrument parts, but even without one, sections featuring only traditional instruments—like the intro—can be recreated with guitar and bass.

Give it a try!

Ryo Narimiya is a singer-songwriter who is active across a wide range of musical projects: he performs as a vocalist under the name Naryō, and as Nora in the duo Konya, Ano Machi Kara.

His ninth track, “To Us Who Were Heroes,” was released as an entry for Vocaloid Collection Spring 2023.

While the song has a driving, fast-paced feel, it contains no particularly difficult phrases, making it a great choice for beginner bands to try.

That said, the band needs to be tightly in sync or it can fall apart, so be sure to practice thoroughly before performing live.
