Band-sound Vocaloid Song Special [Rock]

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.

Band-sound Vocaloid Song Showcase [Rock] (101–110)

World on ColorDenporu 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.

Lies and a Time MachineAhiru Gunsou P

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

Glammy KissREISAI

How about some Vocaloid rock with irresistibly crisp guitar cutting? It’s a track by REISAI, the music duo of Yopi and Azen Sakana, released in April 2023.

As I mentioned earlier, the guitar is simply the best! The driving drums and the lively, roaming bass are just as amazing! The sudden metal-style break in the interlude really cranks up the excitement, too! REISAI has been releasing a series of works with a unified worldbuilding, including this song, “Gloomy Kiss.” If you’re hooked on this track, you absolutely should check out their other songs as well!

This year as well, I’ll go see you in the summer / Hatsune Miku
I'll come to see you again this summer.Yatsukawa no Name

It’s a nostalgic and refreshing guitar rock track by Naname from Hachikawa.

Released in June 2018, it was later included as the final track on the album “Summer, Me, and Rock ’n’ Roll.” Set against Kyoto’s summer scenery—such as the Kamo River and Shimogamo Shrine—the song reflects on the passage of time and feelings that never change.

Miku’s vibrant vocals pair perfectly with the arrangement’s subtly retro vibe.

If you’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of summer, be sure to give it a listen.

Blind Astronaut – yukkedoluce feat. Hatsune Miku
Blind Astronautyukkedoluce

A single song with a narrative that teaches us that what’s visible isn’t all that matters.

The shimmering sounds evoke an image of stars.

It also uses feedback techniques that deliberately make the guitar howl in places, making it easy to stick in your ears even after the song ends.

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.

Alignsushi P

SushiP ft. Hatsune Miku “Align” (English Subtitles)
Alignsushi P

A farewell song sung by Miku with a childlike voice.

The synthesizer sounds used at key moments like the intro and before the chorus highlight a summery feel.

Miku’s vocals in the chorus sound almost like a whisper, which made me feel the production is very detailed.
