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.

Band-Sound Vocaloid Song Collection [Rock] (21–30)

Sky-Performing Train Orangestar

A song with IA’s translucent vocals that lets you feel the refreshing summer air.

The harmonies between IA and Miku pair well and are a pleasure to listen to.

When the track was posted, the creator was 17 years old, so the youthful lyrics with a touch of ephemerality are a must-hear.

Natsu no hiri set Haruna.

Haruna, who has produced many songs that speak for teenage feelings.

“Natsu no Hiriset,” released in June 2024, is a track that highlights Kasane Teto’s poised vocals.

The light yet feverish sound pairs with lyrics themed around the summer season.

By overlaying the heat with a sense of impatience, it expresses emotional turmoil.

By the time you finish listening, you might find yourself feeling nostalgic.

Amid the relentless breathing demands of the final, grand chorus, there’s a sudden highest note slipped into an already high chorus.

It’s like a rite of passage for high-tone vocalists.

The instrumental parts aren’t that difficult if played normally, but be careful not to overlook the sense of drive in the bridge after the second verse’s A-melody.

Tell Your WorldKz

A famous song that was also used in a Google commercial.

Even people who don’t usually listen to VOCALOID might know it.

Despite its sense of speed, the BPM is modest.

So especially for the drums, focus on keeping steady, don’t stop, and respect the image of a song that flows like a river.

It’s a work that captivates the heart with its fun, catchy melody.

It’s quintessentially Suri—where a profound worldview coexists with pop appeal—and it even comes with an astonishing story of having been created in just 30 minutes on stage during the 6th anniversary live show.

The tender metaphors—like staying up late to nurture love and sowing rose seeds—leave a lasting impression.

The more you listen, the more it draws you in; it’s brimming with that kind of charm.

The hi-hat grooves and razor-sharp guitar riffs are irresistible! This is “World’s End Dancehall,” a signature song by wowaka, the Vocaloid producer who also fronted the rock band Hitorie.

VOCALOID Colosseum / DIVELA feat. Kagamine Rin

Vocalo Colosseum DIVELA

With its weighty, tension-filled rhythm, this track leaves a strong impression.

It’s a song by DIVELA, a Vocaloid producer who drew attention after winning the Grand Prix in the Hatsune Miku “Magical Mirai 2018” song contest.

Released in 2018.

While it’s structured like a band sound, its musical style is truly one of a kind! It’s an addictive piece that makes you want to hit replay.

The lyrics are distinctive, too.
