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!

[Hot] A Big Feature on Cool Vocaloid Songs! (321–330)

octagonchiitana

“Octagon” - Chiitana feat. IA -

octagonchiitana

It’s a razor-sharp four-on-the-floor rock track.

Created by Chiitana, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Torigirl,” it was released in 2019.

The steady, understated melody pairs well with the husky vocals to create a decadent, desolate vibe.

You can’t help but start keeping the rhythm with your body.

Tokoyotokiyo / flower

Tokoyo Tokiyoteniwoha

I’m deeply moved by the high-energy sound.

Created by Teniwoha—also known as the author of the Schoolgirl Detective series—and released in 2018, this is a richly packed Vocaloid track that blends rock and EDM elements, beautiful piano tones, and a distinctly Japanese atmosphere all into one ambitious song.

Hiiragi Magnetite – Unplanned Apoptosis / Kagamine Rin, Hatsune Miku

ampland apoptosisHiiragi Magunetaito

This is the fifth track by Vocaloid producer Hiiragi Magnetite, who has gained popularity for songs with a unique sense of weightlessness, featuring riffs and melodies that use chromaticism.

The A section features complex rhythms from the bass and drums, the B section builds momentum for the chorus with dynamic shifts in the arrangement, and the melody leverages VOCALOID’s strengths with rapid-fire delivery and wide melodic leaps—the rhythms are just undeniably cool.

With lyrics and a musical tone that make it feel like reading a short novel, you’ll find yourself drawn into its world before you know it.

It’s a fast-paced Vocaloid number that will blow away a gloomy mood.

Illusory Dream Arcadiamaya

Illusory Dream Utopia / maya feat. MEIKO

Illusory Dream Arcadiamaya

A dramatic rock tune where fierce guitar riffs intertwine with traditional Japanese melodies.

Created by maya, a Vocaloid producer also known as a professional guitarist, the track was released in November 2022.

Carried by MEIKO’s powerful vocals, it tells the story of a protagonist who, despite being toyed with by the egos of those in power, fights on with a sword in hand.

Its message, imbued with unwavering resolve, really strikes a chord.

I think it’s a Japanese-style Vocaloid song that fits perfectly with autumn scenery.

This is an original song posted as the 11th upload on Niconico by nana, the leader of the creative team Sevencolors—who is also a songwriter-composer, mixer, guitarist, and Vocaloid producer.

Its airy sound and melody make it a refreshing yet bittersweet track.

The atmosphere is wonderful.

Limiterniki

【Lily】 Limiter 【Original Song】 (english subs + romaji)

Limiterniki

This is niki’s sixth song uploaded to Nico Nico Douga.

The artist themselves commented that “there’s no concept, but it somehow feels explosive.” The track’s hopeless worldview, Lily’s vocals that sound like a scream, and the melody are deeply emotional and heartrending.

With this song, they achieved their first Hall of Fame status (100,000 views).

The single-image PV also shows great attention to detail.

Phenomenonszri

Phenomenon / Lethal Drug

Phenomenonszri

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.”
