A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

I’m Takashi Hoshino, a freelance writer currently juggling work with parenting. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years since I first picked it up when I started high school, and I’m still active in a band today. Ever since I began playing, I’ve been drawn to hard rock and heavy metal, and I enjoy intense music, whether Japanese or Western. At the same time, I keep in mind something I was told long ago: “If you want to play rock, you should know more than just rock!” With that in my heart, I make a point of listening to a wide range of genres every day. My experience as a writer is still growing, but I’ll keep working hard to recommend all kinds of music to as many people as possible!

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!

[Hot] A Big Feature on Cool Vocaloid Songs! (11–20)

I’m telling you to shut up and play rock!Nekodate Kotatsu

I’m telling you to just shut up and do rock! (YouTube ver.) – Hatsune Miku / DO THE ROCK! – Hatsune Miku

I’m telling you to just shut up and play rock! Nekodate Kotatsu

A straight-ahead rock number defined by its powerful guitar riffs.

Created by Nekodate Kotatsu and released in June 2024, this track was submitted to the VocaRock Posting Festival.

The lyrics ring out with a forceful call to critique today’s music scene and return to pure rock.

The phrase used as the title will resonate with anyone who loves bands.

Its stripped-down, no-frills sound is a must-hear—turn up the volume and enjoy.

Amanojaku164

Amano Jakku / 164 feat. GUMI (Official)

Amano-jaku 164

It’s a rock number that perfectly fits the vibe of being “emo.” The song is by 164, who’s also active as a professional musician, and it was released in 2011.

The distorted guitar sound stands out, but what I want you to pay attention to is the bass in the first verse! The slap-style phrases are just incredibly cool.

If you play an instrument, this might be a song you’ll want to try performing yourself.

Villainparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)

Villain / flower・Teniwoha

Villain te-ni-o-ha

No matter how many words you use, you won’t grasp this song’s appeal through someone else’s explanation.

It’s a truly distinctive track, and the energy of the vocals—pounding out the rhythm and forcefully enunciating every word—is tremendous.

The title “Villain,” meaning a bad guy, and the creator’s comment that it’s “for the scoundrels” together carry a message I hope you’ll savor.

With a phrase repeated in the chorus and a tempo that sticks in your head, it’s the kind of song you’ll find yourself humming.

The music video was created by Avogado6, known on Twitter for producing high-quality visual works, and it enhances the song’s atmosphere.

There’s also a version sung by Balloon himself, so be sure to check that out as well.

Night Talk Deceivejin

Jin / Yobanashi Deceive (IA) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Night Talk Deceive Jin

This is a song from the Kagerou Project series.

It focuses on Kano from the series and depicts his ability to “deceive the eye.” The upbeat melody and the PV that makes heavy use of effects are really cool.

I’d like to check out the novels and the anime as well.

A song by Mikito-P uploaded to Niconico on February 27, 2018.

It’s a duet by Kagamine Rin and Mikito-P himself.

The lyrics comically encourage modern band members, and the guitar tone is really cool and addictive.

Among VOCALOID songs uploaded to Niconico, it reached 1 million views on April 22 of the same year, making it the 20th fastest to do so.

Brain Fluid Explosion Girl – rerulili feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI

Exploding Brains Girl rerulili

This song became so popular that it was even adapted into a film in 2015—an exceptional case.

It was produced by Rerulili, also known as Our Company’s P.

Its rapidly shifting song structure is part of its appeal.

It’s a high-tempo, fast-paced tune.
