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.

[Hot] Special Feature: Super Cool Vocaloid Songs! (251–260)

182.¿?

182. / ¿? feat.flower

182.¿?

It’s a hardcore Vocaloid track that comes crashing in with heavy sound pressure.

Created by shimon (aka ¿?), it was released in July 2024.

The title “182.” is slang for “I hate you,” meaning “I really hate you.” The lyrics vent frustrations about society and one’s way of life, yet still bristle with the resolve that “there’s no choice but to do it.” That gritty sentiment pairs perfectly with the avant-garde sound arrangement.

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

The track is by Vocaloid producer Mitsubachi Bocchi and was released in 2021.

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

The lyrics carry a blazing message that makes you feel, “I’ll decide my own fate.” The rich, full-bodied sound really shines when you turn up the volume, so give it a try.

Deca-Dancer / Hatsune Miku – Ao Wi-Fi

Deca-dancerAowaifai

It’s got a rhythm that makes you want to clap along! It’s a dance-rock number by the Vocaloid producer Aowifi, released in 2019.

The groove is irresistible, and before you know it, your body starts swaying on its own.

Yet the melody and the finer details of the arrangement carry a mature touch, making it a work with depth that goes beyond simply calling it a “groovy song.”

Yuri Kuriyama - “Apple and Pomegranate” feat. Ci flower [Official Video]

Apple and pomegranateKuriyama Yuuri

Yuri Kuriyama, who began her career as a Vocaloid producer under the name Nanashi Hachiya and now also works as a singer-songwriter, released “Ringo to Zakuro” as her first single of 2023.

Its hysterical EDM-driven ensemble and high-velocity chorus really crank up the energy.

In the interlude, alternating solos by electric and acoustic guitar will likely draw in any guitar lover almost unconsciously.

With its rapidly shifting arrangement, it’s a stylish Vocaloid track packed with listening highlights.

Lüce / IA

It may seem simple yet it’s complex; it feels light yet heavy—the unique sound just gets me.

It’s a piece by INE, who also created “Lustergust” and “Desert Talk,” released in 2020.

The crisp guitar and snappy rhythm, the funky, solid bassline, and the freewheeling melodies—this track is packed with charms.

Seriously, no matter where you cut it, it’s cool! It’s distinctive yet catchy and pop; I really think this worldview is something only INE could create.

Sühne / Bamboo Shoot Boy feat. Kagamine Rin

ZyuneTakenoko shōnen

It’s a high-energy Vocaloid track with a punchy, penetrating sound that delivers a real sense of speed.

Created by Vocaloid producer Takenoko Shounen—also known for the hit “Musical Magical Syndrome”—it was released in 2020.

The arrangement, where it feels like every sound is seamlessly connected, is irresistible.

If you like loud, nu-metal/mixture-style rock, definitely give it a listen.

The lyrics, in particular, may resonate with those who pour their passion into creating.

They express the anxiety felt within competition with others.

Misumi – FAKE feat. flower & Hatsune Miku

FAKEMisumi

How about a Vocaloid rap track? This one is by Misumi, a Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Antigravity City.” It was released in 2018.

The downer track and decadent worldview are bound to resonate with many listeners.

You’ll want to blast it through a subwoofer.

If you want the audio, it’s included on the album “AFTER DARK,” so please consider purchasing it.
