Monochrome Voice – cosMo@Bousou-P feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI (from Taiko no Tatsujin)

It’s an original track written for the game Taiko no Tatsujin—very up-tempo and driving, making it incredibly easy to get into.

But it’s not just lively and fast; it also has a calm, polished quality that makes it captivating even if you just listen without drumming along.

That said, if you ever get the chance to play Taiko no Tatsujin, this is a song I’d definitely recommend.

The chorus explodes brilliantly, contrasting effectively with the verse and pre-chorus to deliver a refreshing rush.

It’s a Vocaloid song that keeps your eyes—no, your ears—glued right up to the very end.

Santa Muerte / wotaku feat. Haru

I get chills from its dark, heavy sound.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer wotaku—known for “Mafia” and “Shanti”—released in June 2024.

While it tackles weighty themes like social criticism and self-loathing, the contrast between its downer mood and high-speed flow is irresistible.

The way it builds toward the chorus and then strips back the layers the moment it hits is electrifying.

The rap parts are great, and the writhing bassline is irresistible too.

It’s a Vocaloid song with multifaceted appeal that I especially want you to hear when you’re feeling down.
