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.

World on Color by Denpol-P

A song from a dream-chasing “me” to “you” that makes you want to break into a run.

The melody swells gradually toward the chorus, filling you with an indescribable sense of excitement.

The high-pitched synthesizer phrase used in the intro and chorus really sticks in your ears.

Kagamine Rin/Len - Lies and a Time Machine [Original] Subtitled in Chinese

Lies and the Time Machine Sergeant Duck P

A medium-tempo pop-rock song that gently sings about hearts missing each other.

It’s a gentle track.

Rin does the main vocals, but just before the final chorus, Len adds an emotionally rich harmony.

Len’s vocal timbre fits the song’s mood so well that you can’t help but think, “He totally steals the spotlight there.”

Hatsune Miku Marginal

Marginal OSTER project

A song with a bewilderingly complex chord progression that seems to ignore music theory, yet each section comes together beautifully and the chorus delivers a cathartic resolution that feels incredible.

At the same time, it’s a piece that demands meticulous performance skills, as even simple mistakes can cause it to fall apart.

BECAMEBCNO

"BECAME" - An original song by IA

BECAMEBCNO

A summer song that neither laments nor celebrates becoming an adult, but simply accepts it and feels the sun’s blazing rays.

IA’s almost shout-like vocals sound so innocent and joyful, bringing back the excitement of the summers we spent as children.
