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 Feature [Rock] (111–120)

This is a guitar rock track that draws you into a decadent, downer world.

Vocaloid producer Mr.

Tanaka B’s signature song “Shinkai City Underground” was released in 2011.

Its cool tone, marked by resonant distortion, is striking, and Kagamine Rin’s somewhat innocent vocals amplify the song’s uncanny atmosphere.

The chorus makes you want to sing along yourself.

When people think of a “cool Rin song,” this work is likely one that comes to mind.

Band Sound Vocaloid Song Special [Rock] (121–130)

MarginalOSTER 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.

I'll Miku-Miku you♪ (I'll do it for ya)ika

As a song that catapulted Hatsune Miku—and by extension, VOCALOID—into fame, it remains vivid in many people’s memories.

Composed of a lively band sound and electronic tones, it’s a track that truly embodies Hatsune Miku’s singing.

There are full and short versions, and the vibe changes dramatically between them, so be sure to compare both.

A Japanese-style VOCAROCK track.

The lyrics quote a poem by the poet Haruo Satō.

The distorted guitar tones and fast picking are cool, and the water sounds used throughout create a great atmosphere.

When the original video entered the Hall of Fame, a PV that went all-in on jokes was uploaded to celebrate.

GUMI original song “Hysteri” with Chinese subtitles

These lyrics portray days when you get hurt by the smallest things, give up, and become reckless, but when you listen to it while feeling down, it’s a song that makes you feel like you can keep trying just a little longer.

The slightly wistful guitar tone in the interlude, almost like a scream, is especially striking.

Take it easy and enjoy your stay!!!Kyou inu

The choppy cutting leads the song throughout.

The chorus, which repeats the same phrase over and over, is striking and addictive.

In the outro, the backing sound that echoes slightly behind the vocals evokes a hard rock vibe.

Gensou Rojie stands out for its cool, live-performance energy and power.

Its composer, Asa, is a musician also known as the bassist for Wagakki Band, a group that performs rock using traditional Japanese instruments.

Since 2012, he has also been active solo as a Vocaloid producer, and his tracks are characterized by high quality befitting a musician well-versed in band sounds.

Gensou Rojie is also memorable for its lyrics, sprinkled with a deliberately jumbled sense of the seasons, so be sure to immerse yourself in its unique world!

In conclusion

It’s a small How-to, but if you’re looking for band-style Vocaloid songs, try searching for “VOCAROCK.” It’s a coined word that combines “VOCALOID” and “ROCK.” Of course, there are some songs that won’t show up with that keyword, but discovering those is part of the fun. There are tons of cool, stylish, and wonderful tracks even if they’re not famous. Enjoy your fun VOCALOID band song life!
