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)

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.

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!

[Hatsune Miku] Keeping a Cat in My Mind – beco
I keep a cat in my mind.beco

If you like band sounds and upbeat dance rock, be sure to check this out! This Vocaloid track by beco—who has also released many instrumental numbers under the name “Noiseless World”—was published in March 2023 and was an entry for VocaColle Spring 2023.

The riffs and phrases are fantastic; if you can play guitar, you’ll probably want to try them yourself.

The humorous, cat-themed lyrics are another highlight of its worldbuilding.

If you’re looking for a song to cover with your band, why not give it a shot?

Girl Narune Frontporifo

Girl Chiming Frontline / KAFU – Polypho
Girl Narune Frontporifo

It’s a fast-paced Vocaloid rock track with a somewhat retro vibe.

The song is by PolyphonicBranch (aka Polifo) and was released in March 2023.

From the intro alone the momentum is incredible; it’s a piece where waves of sound keep crashing over you from start to finish.

The heavily distorted, gritty bass sounds amazing.

I bet many rock fans who like this kind of sound will love it.

It also matches the decadent worldview of the lyrics.

And yet…

KAFU’s singing voice retains a sharp, clear contour even amid these alternative textures—it’s seriously cool.
