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.

The game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku’s 3rd anniversary song “NEO.” Created in 2023 by Jin, a Vocaloid producer known for his wide-ranging work including the Kagerou Project.

The song portrays a driving momentum to move forward with passion, even when hesitating or coming to a stop at times.

The lyrics about overcoming the fear of singing evoke the image of Hatsune Miku, who has mastered countless songs.

It’s a passionate Vocaloid track that sends encouragement to those taking their first steps toward a new world.

Hiiragi Magnetite – Marshall Maximizer / KAFU

Marshall MaximizerHiiragi Magunetaito

Vocaloid producer Hiiragi Magnetite, known for tracks featuring KAFU, has been gaining attention.

His 2021 production “Marshall Maximizer” is an upbeat tune that makes superb use of KAFU’s voice—mechanical yet somehow human.

Characterized by synths reminiscent of techno and electronica, its propulsive sound really resonates.

Also note her technical delivery of lyrics that paint a unique world.

Why not experience this fresh synth sound that blends breeziness with heft?

[Original] Odoryanse – Odoryanse / YurryCanon feat. MIKU & GUMI

Please dance.Yurii Kanon

The intro is cool right from the start! It’s an aggressive Vocaloid rock track, “Odoryanse.” Created by Yuri Cannon, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Suicide Parade,” it was released in 2016.

The four-on-the-floor rhythm makes it easy to get into.

As you can guess from the title, it also has a touch of Japanese flavor.

Goblin shark?Hiiragi Kirai

Loveka? / Hiiragi Kirai feat. flower

Goblin shark?Hiiragi Kirai

This is a Vocaloid track with a distinctive worldview that opens with a mature-sounding horn section.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, known for hits like “Autophagy” and “Bocca della Verità,” it was released in 2020.

The song plays on the word “love” and the frilled shark—called a living fossil in Japanese, “rabuka” (love + lamniform)—and its word choice in the lyrics and the perfection of its sonic imagery are astonishing.

The tuning, too, is quintessential Kirai Hiiragi.

I also recommend the version released at the same time by Ado, who is active as a vocalist.

Hated by Life Itself / Hatsune Miku

Hated by life.Kanzaki Iori

A number that portrays the real sensibilities of people living in modern society, it immediately became a hot topic upon its release in August 2017.

The contrast between the crystal-clear vocals of the Vocaloid and the edgy band sound is striking.

The lyrics, which candidly express dissatisfaction with society and feelings of self-denial, resonated with many young listeners and inspired covers by artists including Mafumafu.

It’s still fresh in our memory that Mafumafu performed it at the 2021 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, drawing even more attention.

When you’re tired of life, why not listen to this song and use it as a chance to reflect on yourself?

Envy BabyKanaria

Let’s get pumped with this upbeat, cool Vocaloid track.

It’s a piece by Kanaria, a popular Vocaloid producer who drew attention with the debut song “Hyakki-sai,” released in 2021.

While it’s not a track with a dense number of notes, its sound arrangement shines with a glamorous, lustrous feel—that’s the charm.

The lyrics are filled with words that have a great ring to them too; they really make you want to hum along.

I think it’s a song that can get everyone hyped together at karaoke, so definitely give it a try.
