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.

God GachaUtsu-P

Utsu-P – God Gacha feat. Hatsune Miku, Uraname

God Gacha Depression P

Its heavy sound and piercing message strike straight to the heart.

Created by Utsu-P, this track was released in December 2023.

The twin vocals of Hatsune Miku and Uranome are a perfect match, with every word and tone lingering in your ears.

It delves into profound themes such as the clash between technological progress and humanity, and the existence of God, as if sounding an alarm to modern society.

The weighty, loud arrangement makes you want to turn up the volume.

It’s a Vocaloid song that blows away the fog in your heart.

alternative (feat. POPY) – kamome sano

alternativekamome sano

I think this will especially resonate with fans of electronica and math rock! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kamome sano, whose forward-thinking musicality has been gaining popularity, released in June 2023.

First of all, the sound is fantastic—both in terms of timbre and audio quality.

Thanks to the unpredictable song structure, it stays engaging the whole time; the excitement of “What’s coming next?” never stops.

The title “alternative” carries the meaning of “something new,” and I think this song truly embodies that!

Artcoreankurage

Artcore | Ankurage ft. Defoko – σ(T²)²

Artcore Ankurage

It’s a highly polished piece where an epic story seems to unfold from the sound alone.

Created by Vocaloid producer Ankurage and released in May 2023 on the doujin music channel Yo Kaze.

Each timbre is beautiful, and you can’t help but be enchanted.

The build-up toward the latter half is fantastic, too.

Another distinctive point is that it’s sung by Defoko—the default voice library of the UTAU speech synthesis tool.

A song with this kind of atmosphere sung by Defoko might be quite rare.

Fantômasparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)

Fantômas / Teniwoha feat. Kafu

Fantômas te ni o ha

Let me introduce “Fantômas,” which offers a richly dark worldview.

This is a work by Teniwoha, known for producing numerous masterpieces.

Using KAFU—who typically gives a strongly feminine impression—the piece is crafted to feel androgynous and cool.

The lyrics carry a slightly suspicious, enigmatic vibe.

You could take them as angry, but they can also sound like they’re having fun.

See what impression you get for yourself.

Also, if you look into the title “Fantômas,” you’ll likely gain a deeper understanding of the lyrics’ meaning.

Sayonara Chainsaw

Sayonara Chainsaw Wada Takeaki

From the very first guitar riff, your excitement skyrockets—this is an upbeat, high-energy rock track! Composed by Takeaki Wada, aka Kurage-P, it was released in 2012 and included on the compilation album themed around “weapons,” Shoujo Sensou | ARMS.

There’s just something about that powerful, razor-sharp band sound that sets your heart on fire! Yuzuki Yukari’s strong, centered vocals are another big draw.

It’s a highly addictive Vocaloid song that makes you want to crank the volume, feel the rhythm with your whole body, and just lose yourself in it!

Queen Consort Jack Leap / Miyamori Literature feat. Hatsune Miku

King, queen, jack, dance, palace guard, literature

This is the piece that won the Grand Prix at the Magical Mirai 2023 Song Contest and became a hot topic! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Bungaku Miyamori, released in April 2023.

A glamorous dance tune with a cool, piercing horn section.

The passionate lyrics—“I sing because I want to sing”—really fire you up.

The hip-hop-inspired section in the middle is memorable too.

It’s a Hatsune Miku song that gets your energy up and has you grooving to the rhythm before you even realize it!

GaUtsu-P

Utsu-P – Ga feat. Hatsune Miku

Ga-utsu P

The thick, weighty sound arrangement that fuses EDM and metal is absolutely badass.

It’s a track by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer who’s also active in bands and idol production, released in March 2023.

It participated in the VOCACOLLE 2023 Spring TOP 100 ranking.

The song is self-deprecating, with lyrics like “I am not a butterfly,” and I’m sure many people can relate to that sentiment.

You can’t help but listen to it while reflecting on yourself—your differences from others, your place in society.

Crank up the volume, by all means.
