Birthday/Birth Celebration: A Special Feature on Vocaloid Birthday Songs

On my birthday, I’m treated gently by peperoncino.Sunfish P is dead behind the house

[GUMI] On My Birthday, Treated Kindly by Peperoncino

A lovely message song sent to “you,” who has to work on your birthday… but the premise is quite mysterious.

Created by the sibling music unit ‘Ie no Ura de Manbo ga Shinderu P,’ the track was released in 2011.

I say the premise is mysterious because the song is told from the perspective of a type of pasta dish: peperoncino.

But it’s not just a gag song.

It features a driving guitar rock sound and lyrics and melodies that tug at the heartstrings.

By the time you reach the end, you’ll be completely drawn into the world of Ie no Ura de Manbo ga Shinderu P.

[Hatsune Miku] “Best Friend” [Original Song] – Doryu~

The rhythm is lively and it feels great to listen to! This piece by Doryu, who is also active as a saxophonist, was released in 2009.

It’s a birthday song addressed to a friend who’s always been close.

The lyrics say, “I’m far away, so this is all I can do…” But really, it’s the best present, isn’t it? It reminds us of how important friends are.

The tumbling piano tones are delightfully cheerful, conjuring an image like looking at vivid illustrations.

Celebrate me!!Medmia

Celebrate me!! – Hatsune Miku

A song by Vocaloid producer Medomia, known for hits like “Zettai Taitai Mecha Kirai-ya,” released in August 2025 on their own birthday.

At first glance, it sounds like a self-centered girl’s anthem—“I’m the star!”—but underneath lies a lonely truth: “Just treat me special today.” Despite the bold words, you’re drawn to her clumsy yearning to be loved by someone.

Listening to it on your own birthday boosts the sense of connection!

PinocchioP – The Vocaloid Song 10 Years Later feat. Hatsune Miku / The Vocaloid Songs 10 Years Later

The Vocaloid scene has grown alongside internet culture.

We’ve entered an era where it’s normal to turn the songs you create into videos and share them with everyone.

This is a message song directed at both the music creators and the listeners.

It’s a work by the multi-creator PinocchioP, released for the 2020 Hatsune Miku Birthday Festival.

It’s a remake of “Vocaloid no Uta,” originally published in 2010.

If you’ve ever been hooked on Vocaloid even once, this will undoubtedly hit home.

Congratulations, thank you.zyun

[Rin/Len Append Original] Congratulations, Thank You. [Kagamine Birthday Festival '10]

Kagamine Rin and Len Append are singing a birthday song on their own birthday.

It says, “Nineteen tiles inspired by Hall of Fame Rin/Len songs appear in the video.

Try guessing which song each one represents.” Nice touch of playfulness.

Happy birthdayKeiyan

[Hatsune Miku] Happy Birthday [Original Song]

This is a birthday song created to commemorate the 7th anniversary of Hatsune Miku’s release.

It’s a work by the Vocalo-P Keiyan, published in 2014.

The warm piano accompaniment is lovely.

The lyrics express feelings of “Happy Birthday, and thank you for singing my song” to Hatsune Miku.

It might be an emotion shared by anyone who uses VOCALOID.

Perhaps because the words are unadorned, the creator’s feelings come across directly.

Shiny Starwhite hedgehog

[Hatsune Miku] Shiny Star [Original Song] (Vocaloid Hatsune Miku)

It’s an electronica piece that begins with shimmering tones.

Created by Vocaloid producer Shiroharinezumi and released in 2016.

Inspired by an illustration drawn by Masanao Kagura, Mos* wrote the lyrics, and then Shiroharinezumi composed the music—this is how the work came together.

The floating, airy feel of the melody is lovely.

The lyrics express how precious the presence of “you” is—like a shining star.

Surely you have someone like that, too.

Play this song on their birthday.
