[Rock] Easy Band-Style Vocaloid Songs for Beginners [Simple]

If I could become someone’s heartYurii Kanon

If I Could Become Someone’s Heart / YurryCanon feat. GUMI

This piece, released in 2018 by Yurry Canon—also known for songs like “Suicide Parade”—features philosophical lyrics that, despite despair about life and the world, find a glimmer of hope in the future.

The tempo isn’t very fast, so it should be one of the more approachable tracks among Yurry Canon’s works.

If you’re on guitar, start by practicing so you can play it through using power chords.

If you memorize the chorus’s “ta-tta-ka ta-tta” rhythm pattern, it’ll help when you tackle other songs, too.

It’s also recommended for beginner drummers.

Alien AlienNayutan Seijin

Nayutan Seijin – Alien Alien (ft. Hatsune Miku) OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A song by Nayutan Seijin, who debuted as a Vocaloid producer in 2015.

It’s a track with a fully realized world where the title and the overall vibe match perfectly at first listen.

Since it doesn’t use particularly difficult techniques overall, it’s approachable for beginner instrumentalists; however, because many phrases feature swung rhythms and tight articulations, it’s more important to focus on rhythm than technique when playing it as a band.

Also, the key modulates upward in the latter half, so vocalists should check whether the transposed key is within their range before starting—this will make practice smoother.

There’s a lot for beginner musicians to learn from this song, so why not give it a try?

DECO*27 – Love-struck Bug feat. Hatsune Miku

Let’s play a cute love song and get the crowd hyped! This track by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who’s been at the forefront of the scene for many years, was released in 2014.

The lyrics capture an unwavering, straight-from-the-heart kind of love—so exciting! While the song features synth phrases, I think it can still be performed with just guitar, bass, and drums if you omit those parts.

There aren’t any particularly technical sections, either.

If anything, the key is how much the vocalist can bring out the cuteness.

Mosaic RollDECO*27

DECO*27 – Mosaic Roll feat. GUMI

DECO*27’s “Mosaic Roll” has long been beloved by Vocaloid fans.

The A and B sections use repeating chord progressions, and the same guitar riff is played multiple times, so it should be easy for beginners to learn.

It’s mid-tempo, so the drums and bass shouldn’t feel “fast and difficult.” You can recreate the intro guitar riff by combining delay and reverb effects.

The final chorus modulates, so if you’re playing power chords, you can handle it by shifting up just a half step.

Karakuri Pierrot40mP

[Hatsune Miku (40mP)] Karakuri Pierrot [Original]

40mP’s “Karakuri Pierrot” is hugely popular not only for band performances but also in “tried playing” and “tried singing” covers.

The bittersweet melody line paired with the elegant-sounding arrangement always feels pleasant to listen to.

Since there are no key changes or complex rhythm patterns, it’s an easy piece for beginners to perform.

If you can’t incorporate string sounds, substituting with guitar can work well.

A key point for playing it well as a band is to stop the sound cleanly and exactly during the breaks in the song.

Just keeping that in mind will give your performance more contrast and clarity, so be sure to try it.
