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.

Prayer is empty.Nuyuri

Empty Prayer – flower · Yuzuki Yukari / Empty Prayer – nulut, avogado6

Prayer is empty and swaying.

This track starts with a lively, flashy band sound—it’s cool, sure, but it’s not a song you can just dismiss as “cool” and be done with it.

Its true essence lies in the story told by the lyrics.

If you watch the music video, you’ll see it’s a tale about two boys—one that can hardly be called wholesome, and certainly not happy.

Carried by a voice that rings out boldly, the story unfolds to its conclusion.

Be sure to see how it ends for yourself.

The lyrics, which question life and death and the meaning of one’s existence, stir the listener’s soul.

KAFU’s vocals captivatingly capture both fragility and strength.

Piercing the clear skyTohta Kasamura

Piercing the Clear Sky / feat. Mew

Tota Kasamura, Piercing the Clear Sky

It’s a bittersweet yet refreshing piano rock number with a ringing guitar refrain.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, known for ballads and choral pieces, it was released in 2020.

The sound is, of course, excellent, but what deserves special mention are the lyrics.

They’re devoted to the very end—fragile, heartrending, and burning with passion—spelling out feelings for “you” that pierce the heart.

People who carry feelings like this are really cool, aren’t they? Combined with the song’s style, the title, and the visuals of the video, it feels as if a blue sky is spreading out above your head.

When I get home, my wife always pretends to be dead.

When I get home, my wife always pretends to be dead — Hobo Nichi P

Just looking at the title, it might seem like a song with a strong comedic vibe, but when you actually listen, it’s full of lines that really hit home.

In the part where it explains why the wife does such things, some listeners might even find themselves in tears.

wowaka “Tosenbo” feat. Hatsune Miku / wowaka – Tosenbo (Official Video) ft. Hatsune Miku

Toosenbo wowaka

A great song whose high notes and fast tempo—distinctive of VOCALOID—are irresistibly catchy.

According to the creator, wowaka, this track was made with a tsundere theme.

Even in the parts with heartrending lyrics, the drive and the emotion—less high-pitched than high-temperature—come through powerfully and are utterly captivating.
