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!

Hiiragi Magnetite – Red Rose / Hatsune Miku

Red RoseHiiragi Magunetaito

A stylish piece that fuses a dynamic four-on-the-floor beat with a beautiful melody and passionate lyrics.

Composed by Hiiragi Magnetite and released in May 2024, it’s used as a character theme song for the mobile game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.” Centered on EDM and electronica rhythms, it features Hatsune Miku’s vocals that seem to float above the mix.

Every moment is flavorful—an undeniably cool track.

The lyrics, themed around continuing to fight for what must be protected and for one’s convictions, are also compelling.

It’s a Vocaloid song with real depth—highly danceable yet thought-provoking in its worldview.

Roller feat. Hatsune Miku [Kairiki Bear × Nō]

rollerkairiki bea

This work was born from Raison d’être, a project to create songs based on legendary creatures illustrated by Nou, an illustrator.

The track was composed by Kairiki Bear, the composer behind numerous hit songs such as “Darling Dance” and “Venom,” and was released in June 2023.

The theme is the familiar “werewolf” from board games, and the lyrics are filled with words that evoke that image.

The distorted chorus is particularly striking, sonically expressing a chaotic space of deception and being deceived.

I’m dead.Shiino Mirin

I’ve died — KAFU · Yuzuki Yukari

I’m dead.Shiino Mirin

A track by the Vocaloid producer Shino Mirin, who has earned high acclaim for an original sound blending rock and EDM with experimental musicality.

The relentless messaging and emotionally stoking synths draw listeners into the song’s unique world.

An arrangement that interweaves melody, rap, and poetry reading lets you feel the contrasts of joy, anger, sadness, and delight within the lyrics’ story.

It’s an eccentric number whose ensemble—possible precisely because it’s a Vocaloid track—creates new possibilities in music.

Hyakusetu-futouHatsune Miku × CONDENSE

[MIKU BREAK] Hundredfold Challenge / Hatsune Miku × CONDENSE (Music Video)

Hyakusetu-futouHatsune Miku × CONDENSE

Hyakusetu-Futō vividly portrays the indomitable spirit of “unyielding despite a hundred setbacks,” rising again and again to see one’s resolve through.

Released in August 2022, it served as the theme song for the volleyball episode of NHK’s para-sports anime series Ani x Para.

Its weighty beat and clear vocals intertwine exquisitely, powerfully conveying—through both sound and lyrics—the sweat shed by the athletes and the heat of team play that connects hearts.

It’s an anthem that wholeheartedly pushes forward anyone who keeps taking on challenges.

Iroha Songgin saku

[Kagamine Rin] Iroha Song [Original Track]

Iroha Songgin saku

Would this be considered a wa-rock (Japanese-style rock) genre? The Japanese vibe pours out right from the intro.

As the title suggests, it’s interesting that part of the Iroha poem is included in the lyrics.

The fast-paced rhythm section is cool, too! You can also tell there’s a strong emphasis on vibrato.
