Band-sound Vocaloid Song Special [Rock]

Nn... ah... ah.SLAVE V-V-R

“Nnh, ah, ah.” / SLAVE.V-V-R

A track by SLAVE.V-V-R, a Vocaloid producer who, because he announces his retirement every time he releases a song, is sometimes dubbed the “retirement-scam P.” It opens with a jazzy piano—no surprise given his background of attending jazz piano classes since elementary school—then moves into an intro driven by a noisy guitar sound, with an ensemble that really amps up the tension.

The complex beat changes and thrilling band interplay pack in so many arrangement ideas that you can’t fully grasp everything in just one listen.

It’s a catchy Vocaloid number with a mysterious melody that lingers in your ears.

Dawn and Fireflies / n-buna

A beautifully sung masterpiece from n-buna, who has brought many great songs into the world.

It paints a vivid picture of a serene scene—like standing alone before dawn on a summer day.

With resounding band sounds and a somewhat lonely vocal delivery, this clean, heartfelt track is one you should definitely listen to.

"Sound" song by Hatsune Miku

This song was posted shortly after Vocaloid was released, yet Miku’s voice is easy to make out.

With gentle yet powerful lyrics that give a quiet push to those of us living our everyday lives, and a slightly husky vocal that’s pleasant on the ears, it’s a refreshing rock number.

"1" / 164 feat. Megurine Luka

A work by Vocaloid producer 164, known for intense rock tracks that contrast stillness and motion.

Written for a unit in the smartphone app game “Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat.

Hatsune Miku,” the song features a clear, gentle melody that feels wonderfully soothing.

The complex beat changes, including irregular time signatures characteristic of 164, create a finely tuned tension alongside the cool rock sound.

It’s a classic Vocaloid number that spotlights a band sound and makes you want to listen again and again.

It’s high-sense and avant-garde, yet undeniably catchy and cute.

Its distinctive, single-minded sound becomes more alluring the more you listen.

It’s a song you’ll want to play over and over, revealing new flavors each time you return to it.

DADARUMA／flower

It makes you want to clap along to the beat! Known for moody, shadowy tones, Vocaloid producer Rokuro released this track in 2019.

The simple, sparse A and B sections leading into an explosive, refreshing chorus feel great! The use of Japanese-style timbres is another highlight.

It’s included on the 2018 album “MU,” but that version features a different arrangement, so if you’re curious, be sure to pick it up.

Literary Girl Insane - Karasuyasabou feat. Kagamine Rin

Once you hear it, you’re sure to think, “I want to sing it myself!” Above all, its greatest charm lies in the lyrics.

Sung with a punchy, rhythmic feel, the song is pleasant just to listen to, and even more satisfying when you hum it yourself.

Backed by a breezy band sound, give it a try and sing along.
