A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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 practitionerTakashi Hoshino
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.

Tautology Doubtful – miku [Original]

Tautology Doubtful Tsumi-ki

It’s a track that makes you want to introduce it as a bundle of pure taste.

Created by Tsumiki, a Vocaloid producer who drew attention with the debut song “Tokyo Diver Fake Show,” it was released in 2020 as a remastered version of a 2018 piece.

Crisp piano phrases, cutting guitar, a bassline that bounces and darts around, and truly one-of-a-kind vocal work.

The explosive power of the chorus in particular will make you think, “Only Tsumiki could have made this!” Dive into this dazzling sea of sound.

JunJun, a Vocaloid producer, released “Dokusō” in 2024.

It’s a Vocaloid track driven by dense yet dazzling synth tones, delivering a fast-paced electro sound.

The song depicts the aching inability to forget a loved one, singing about confronting a sense of helplessness.

Hatsune Miku’s versatile vocals—ranging from high tones to rapid-fire delivery—convey that bittersweet emotion toward a beloved person.

It’s a passionate Vocaloid piece where Miku’s mechanical timbre intertwines with electronica.

Kasane Teto SV “Boys Say Hello”

Boys say hello, Sohbana

A hardcore Vocaloid track that vents frustration at society and oneself.

Composed by Sohbana, the original was released in 2021; this is the Kasane Teto version unveiled in November 2024.

A self that can’t take flight, the gap between ideals and reality, the loss of innocence that comes with growing up—these quintessentially youthful feelings are conveyed over a punchy sound.

Many teens, in particular, will probably find it relatable.

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.

Apples and Pomegranates Kuriyama Yūri

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.

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.
