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.

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

[Hot] A Major Feature on Cool Vocaloid Songs! (281–290)

Phenomenonszri

Phenomenon / Lethal Drug

Phenomenon szri

Let me introduce “Phenomenon,” a track that’s been trending on social media as “highly addictive.” This song was created by szri for “VocaColle 2024 Winter TOP100.” It features Gekiyaku delivering ultra-fast vocals.

Its distinctive sense of rhythm has an appeal that makes you want to listen again and again.

The chorus, which repeats the title phrase, also has a curious, addictive quality.

By the way, “Phenomenon” is a word that means “phenomenon.”

EMBLEMUtsu-P

Utsu-P – EMBLEM feat. GUMI

EMBLEM Depression P

Released by Utsu-P in July 2024, this work is striking for its metallic sound and GUMI’s powerful vocals.

It questions society and explores personal identity, portraying the proof that accompanies one’s way of life through the metaphor of an “emblem.” The intense guitar riffs and heavy drums further deepen the lyrical worldview.

I especially recommend it to those who feel out of place in modern society or who are struggling to find their sense of purpose.

[Kagamine Rin] Ur-Style [Original Song]

Ur-StyleDATEKEN

This is DATEKEN’s 11th song posted on Nico Nico Douga.

A lively technopop track, it was composed based on the imagery inspired by the illustrations used in the video.

The production quality is outstanding, and the smooth melody and rap sung by Kagamine Rin are pleasing to the ear, showcasing a refined sense of style.

Gekokujō Girlhiroki

hiroki. – Gekokujō Girl feat. Haru / Gekokujo

Gekokujō Lady Hiroki

The thick electric sound is incredibly cool! This track by Vocaloid producer hiroki., known for hits like “Ningyo Kaibougaku” and “Monochrome,” was released in April 2023.

The lyrics, which convey a powerful resolve of “I’m about to take on the challenge,” are seriously badass.

But as you might guess from the title, the protagonist is a girl.

Once you notice that, doesn’t it strangely start to feel kind of cute, too? The excitement in the latter half of the song sends your energy soaring!

Overkill / Hatsune Miku

Overkill Natsuyama Yotsugi

A high-speed, irresistibly addictive Vocalo-rock track.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Yotsugi Natsuyama, released in August 2023.

It participated in the VOCALOID Collection 2023 Summer TOP 100 ranking.

“Stylish” feels like the perfect word for its vibe! The way the band sound and staccato-release piano drive the rapid-fire progression is insanely cool.

Miku’s slightly husky vocals fit the tone perfectly.

Great for when you want to boost your mood or sharpen your focus.

Trash Work / Hatsune Miku

A worthless piece, sir/ma'am.

If you’re looking for an emotional, fast-paced Vocaloid track, we recommend “Dasaku.” Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Kashiko—also known for “Ekokihi”—it delivers a rock sound colored by beautiful piano tones.

The lyrics candidly portray sentimental feelings and are a highlight in themselves.

Hatsune Miku’s transparent vocals are sure to resonate with your heart.

Featuring a classically influenced melodic line, the piece carries an appeal that transcends genre.

Give this bittersweet, racing rock number a listen.
