Lovely Vocaloid

Band-sound Vocaloid Song Special [Rock]

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.

We call making music on a computer “DTM,” but that doesn’t only refer to electronic music with programmed synths.

You can use various sound sources or record live instruments, and before you know it, you can complete a full band sound right inside your computer.

So in this article, I’d like to introduce Vocaloid songs that focus on band-style sound!

They’re all wonderful tracks!

I’m sure you’ll find a new favorite.

Vocaloid Band Sound Special [Rock] (71–80)

Bless Your BreathTakeaki Wada

Bless Your Breath – Takeaki Wada feat. Hatsune Miku / Bless Your Breath – WADATAKEAKI feat. Hatsune Miku

Bless Your Breath Wada Takeaki

It’s a melody that makes you want to break into a run.

Composed by Wada Takeaki, also known as Kurage-P, it was released in 2019.

As the theme song for the Hatsune Miku event “Magical Mirai 2019,” the lyrics are written from Hatsune Miku’s perspective.

Its refreshing, lively rhythm lifts your spirits as you listen.

The PV is also high-quality and very engaging.

At the mercy of emptinessPinocchioP

PinocchioP – At the Mercy of Emptiness feat. Hatsune Miku / At the Mercy of Emptiness

At the Whim of Emptiness - PinocchioP

A song whose slightly old-fashioned rhythm and the author’s signature, idiosyncratic turns of phrase become addictively catchy.

The lyrics can also be heard as an indirect love song: though not particularly positive about life itself, they express a resolve to live for “you.”

March of the Mad164

March of the Mad / 164 feat. GUMI

March of the Mad 164

Titled “March of the Mad,” a name that might even feel a bit ominous, this piece first impresses with its “march” element.

Its catchy, march-like drive and stylish momentum spark curiosity about what kind of march is unfolding.

Just when you think the imposing melody will continue, it shifts to something more pop in character—an unpredictable, highly engaging composition with remarkably interesting development.

The interplay between the left and right guitars is fantastic, so I recommend listening with earphones.

It’s a track by Kairiki Bear, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Kanzen Chouaku Lolita Complex.” The video was released in 2019.

It’s a character song from the game “SIX SICKS,” and there’s also a version sung by voice actors Kensho Ono and Daisuke Namikawa, so be sure to check that out too.

I just want to date anyone.Table Tennis Boy

I Want to Date Anyone / Kagamine Len — I Don’t Care Who, Somebody Go Out With Me! / feat. Takyu Shonen (TakyuP)

A ping-pong boy who wants to date anyone

It’s an extremely lighthearted song that, just like the title says, is about “I don’t care who— I just want to date someone.” Truly as-is, it keeps belting out a heartfelt cry of wanting to be in a relationship with someone, anyone.

Though it’s a short track at just over a minute, it’s a fun number that lets listeners, singers, and performers alike laugh out loud and make a joyful ruckus.

8.32*Luna

*Luna – 8.32 feat.flower

8.32*Luna

While it has elements of electronic music, it’s rooted in a band sound.

The variety of timbres gently shakes the eardrums and fills you with happiness.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer *Luna, also known for “Heal Me” and “Main Character.” It was released in 2018.

The lyrics sing of wishing that a summer spent with a loved one could last forever.

Chopin and the White Keys of IceMafumafu

[Hatsune Miku Sweet] Chopin and the White Keys of Ice [Chinese Subtitles]

Chopin and the icy white keys, Mafumafu

A song whose soft Miku vocals conjure up fluffy snow and whose fairytale-like lyrics put you in a gentle mood.

As the title “Chopin” suggests, piano phrases appear throughout.

When the chorus hits, a swell of sound rushes in with an air of overflowing bittersweetness, and it really tugs at your heart.
