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.

These hot selections will slice through your frustration and blow away those gloomy feelings.

DECO*27 – Rookie feat. Hatsune Miku

Rookie DECO*27

From the intro, it’s irresistibly cool! It’s a track DECO*27 released in March 2024.

The music blends a band sound with electronica to portray the inner conflicts of young people and their desire to take on challenges.

Featuring Hatsune Miku’s vocals, the arrangement shifts rapidly, creating a powerful impact.

You want to express your true self, yet you have to meet society’s expectations—those lyrics, packed with that dilemma, really hit home.

The dreaming little bird is somewhat finished.

I recommend this to anyone who likes Japanese-style music.

This track by the Vocaloid producer Hayaya Shime, also known as “the Mushroom Person,” was released in 2008.

Its cool, dreamlike atmosphere and sound will stir you to your core.

It might even make you feel cooler when you listen during the hot season.

Self-Decision Lonely Honeybee

It’s a weighty rock number with an impressive, beautiful piano tone.

Powerful drumming and dramatic song development pair perfectly with Iroha Nekomura’s firm, resonant vocals.

Iroha Songsilver sockeye (salmon)

[Kagamine Rin] Iroha Song [Original Track]

Iroha-uta Silver 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.

Jet Black / Hatsune Miku [Music Video]

Yonosuke Jet-Black

An aggressive electro number that races through pitch-black darkness.

Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Yunosuke—known for tracks like “PaⅢ.SENSATION”—it was released in September 2025.

This song is featured in the game “Sonic Racing: Cross World.” Its solid beat and synth-driven, high-velocity sound are incredibly addictive! And the lyrics are cool too, singing of a solitary resolve to face oneself while overtaking rivals.

When you want to win at something or push past your limits, listening to it will surely ignite your fighting spirit.

Your ears and mind get wrecked by the fierce, eerie, dark sound.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, released in 2020.

The track participated in the online Vocaloid event “The VOCALOID Collection,” which helped it reach a wide audience.

Once you’re hooked, there’s no getting out—the distinctive soundscape and song progression are insanely cool.

There’s even a section that shifts into poetry reading midway through.

The lyrics are filled with aggressive words, yet many listeners will likely relate.

Night CiderUi Nashimoto

Hatsune Miku - Nightsider (Original Song)

Nightsider Nashimoto Ui

Vocaloid producer Ui Nashimoto, known for songs like “When the Swindler Laughs,” has drawn attention for music with a dark worldview that pairs well with the color black.

His 2022 track “Nightcider” is a rock number whose restless, buzzing guitars are seriously addictive.

The band sound has a lo-fi vibe reminiscent of grunge rock.

It’s recommended even for those who usually prefer Western rock.

Turn up the energy with Hatsune Miku’s husky vocals!
