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.

Mood-lifting, tension-filled rhythm work! This track by Vocaloid producer Yugika—also known for “Eureka Replica” and “Caprice Cast”—was released in August 2023 and participated in the BOCALOID Collection 2023 Summer TOP 100 ranking.

The noisy edge to the vocals and the bass arrangement that presses in on you are quintessential Yugika.

It’s an insanely cool, downer-style electronic tune.

The lyrics, infused with self-love and projection, are another big draw!

Totem / IA (IA – Totems)

Totem Ine

A polished Vocaloid track in which delicate sonic images unfold dynamically.

It’s a song by Inei, a Vocaloid producer known for a refined, almost “exquisitely crafted” musicality, released in August 2023.

It participated in the TOP 100 ranking of VocaColle 2023 Summer.

It’s hard to put into words, but the way the sound is constructed is incredible.

Many of Inei’s works shine with ingenious chord progressions, and “Totem” is no exception.

The development is unpredictable yet cohesively tied together—truly impressive.

It’s included on the second album, “High-Pressure AR,” so definitely check it out if you want the official audio.

Ray-traced Ine

Musical Isotope Harui, known for its rap capabilities, is another top recommendation with the track “Raytrace,” where you can fully enjoy its charm.

This song, created by Ine, depicts the feeling of almost letting your heart sink into a painful situation.

To interpret the lyrics of this piece, it’s a good idea to look into the “ray tracing” mentioned in the title.

Simply put, ray tracing is a technique that accurately reproduces light reflections and other phenomena to create beautiful graphics.

It’s a Vocaloid rap number that’s dynamic yet exudes a slightly ennui-laden vibe.

To Us Who Were Heroes / Ryo Narimiya feat. Hatsune Miku

To Us Who Were Heroes - Ryo Narimiya

A rock number inspired by a manga work, blending freshness with a touch of wistfulness.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Ryo Narumiya, released in March 2023, and was an entry for VocaColle 2023 Spring.

The song contrasts a childhood longing to be a hero with one’s adult self who has assimilated into society—something many listeners will likely relate to.

“It’s not the life I once dreamed of, but I’ll live in the now.” A power song that gives you the strength to take your next step into the future.

The blend of beauty and cool intensity in the sound is absolutely fantastic! The lyrics carry an encouraging message to “push forward with all your strength.” The sequel track, Raimei: Chapter II, is also available—be sure to listen to it together!
