A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
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.
Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
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.

Be sure to read to the end and find your new favorite track!

The Mysterious Thing’s Bizarre Music Boxteniwoha

It’s a cool Japanese-style rock song packed to the brim with names of traditional Japanese yokai.

It’s fun because it features everything from yokai that every Japanese person has probably heard of at least once to rare ones you’ll think, “This is the first time I’ve heard of that!” You’ll feel a real sense of accomplishment if you can get through the fast-paced part without stumbling.

Love Songdai baku ha shin

Introducing “Ai no Uta,” a song whose lyrics prompt reflection on Vocaloids and AI.

This track is by the up-and-coming Vocaloid producer Hakushin Dabanami, and it’s presented as “a song dedicated to VOCALOID culture.” Throughout the song, the phrase “ai” is used to express various meanings—such as “AI,” “love,” and “sorrow.” It also conveys the differences between humans and Vocaloids.

Why not give it a listen while letting your thoughts drift to Vocaloids as well?

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.

YAMADA PERFECT / jon-YAKITORY, Hatsune Miku

Yamada PERFECTjon-YAKITORY

Lose yourself in the fast-paced, captivating sound! This track by jon-YAKITORY was released in July 2024.

The dynamic, well-balanced arrangement pairs perfectly with Hatsune Miku’s crisp, well-defined vocals.

The lyrics capture the emptiness of chasing “perfection” and the inner conflict of trying to live up to others’ expectations—cutting straight to the heart.

Blending electronic tones with a pop sensibility, this piece is perfect for moments when you want to face yourself.

It’s also highly recommended for anyone feeling worn out by daily life!

“Gekokujō,” which carries a powerful message, is another must-listen.
