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.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

The Vocaloid scene is where countless Vocaloid producers and creators are active every day.

In this article, we’ve put together a collection of cool Vocaloid tracks that are being released practically daily.

From classics to the latest releases, we’ve picked songs purely based on one thing: how cool they are—regardless of genre.

These hot selections will slice through your frustration and blow away those gloomy feelings.

Deep Sea GirlYuuyu

Yuyu feat. Hatsune Miku “Deep Sea Girl” MV (with translation)

Deep Sea Girl Yuuyu

It’s a track that perfectly matches the title’s image, blending a refreshing feel with a fantastical atmosphere.

Known for meticulous arrangements and a style that reflects a variety of musical roots, Vocaloid producer yuyu released this signature song in 2010.

The A section feels like J-pop, but from the B section the soundscape shifts, and the chorus unfolds into cool, liberating guitar rock.

Doppel Q&A Showdownminus P

[Kagamine Rin] Doppelgänger Quarrel [MV] / Quarrel with the Doppelgänger

Doppel Cross-Examination Minus P

It’s a story about a girl being hassled by her future self.

The lyrics are highly narrative, so you can’t help but listen closely.

Along the way, the repeated phrases feel a bit mad—but that’s the good part.

Even without direct conversations, perhaps everyone lives while arguing with their future and past selves.

[Hatsune Miku] Hyakki-sai [Kanaria]

Hyakki Festival Kanaria

A Japanese-style Vocaloid track with a distorted, weighty bass tone that sounds badass.

It’s the debut work by Vocaloid producer Kanaria, released in 2020.

You can feel the powerful emotion in every note and word of the melody.

Set against a chill sound, it creates a one-of-a-kind world.

And perhaps because of the lyrics’ mood, you may suddenly feel like you’re reading a dark old folktale.

The rhythm, which feels almost like it’s stomping on the ground, is irresistible.

waning moonGotta do it or else / I have to, no choice

Crescent Moon feat. Yuzuki Yukari / Kibou no Tsuki – Nakyamurya

Without the longed-for moon, it's hopeless.

A beautiful Vocaloid track with addictive, post-rock-inspired arrangements that make heavy use of irregular time signatures and a dreamy melody.

From the quiet performance in the A section to the sweeping turns of the B section, and a floating, airy chorus carried by a tight ensemble, the arrangement is irresistible for Vocaloid fans.

The melody stands out even amid the rapid shifts in the song’s development, and its dramatic structure is so captivating that you can’t help but be drawn in—an exceptionally polished number.

GURU / Jin [Official MV]

When you’re feeling down, you crave passionate songs, right? For those moments, I recommend “GURU.” It’s included on Allegories, released in 2022 by the Vocaloid producer Jin, known for creating the Kagerou Project.

The track resonates with a dynamic sound that exudes an exotic atmosphere.

The crisp, percussive guitar cutting against the airy synths is especially striking.

Kafu’s groovy, rhythmic vocals will blow away your everyday stress.

It’s a number that lifts your mood on those “I’m feeling kind of hazy…” days.

Ready SteadyGiga

Let your ears, body, and heart surrender to this ultra-authentic EDM! Created by Vocaloid producer Giga, known for tracks like “Bring It On” and “Hibikase,” this song was released in 2020.

It’s the Vocaloid version of a piece written for the game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” No talk about lyric meanings or what timbres are used—none of that.

Just take in this sound with your whole being.

Feel the four-on-the-floor rhythm on your skin and let yourself be swept away by the waves of sound.
