Lovely Vocaloid

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.
A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

This time, I’m going to introduce some Vocaloid dance tunes!

In many MVs, you’ll see Vocaloid characters dancing, and there are even dances like wotagei.

These days, there are even dance battles held to Vocaloid tracks, and Vocaloid is treated as dance music.

I’ll be showcasing a bunch of Vocaloid songs that let you ride the beat and enjoy dancing!

Depending on the song, there may be official choreography, and many tracks have original routines with “Odotte Mita” (I tried dancing) posts—so be sure to check them out and give it a try!

You’ll definitely have a blast getting into the groove!

Junkie Night Town Orchestra Suri

It’s a stylish, high-energy Vocaloid track.

Spring Storm / Hatsune Miku

Spring storm John

Even though it doesn’t have that many notes, what is this liveliness? Released in 2019, it’s a track by the Vocaloid producer john, who’s popular not only for his songwriting but also for his uniquely styled lyrics.

The rhythm is so light you could almost call it weightless, and it feels truly good to listen to.

The sounds themselves don’t carry any heaviness either—consistently nimble and upbeat.

Even the melody seems to be bouncing.

But the lyrics capture the feelings at a farewell with someone important, and that gap between the bittersweet content and the lively tune really hits you.

The passionate lyrics—“Do whatever you want with me!”—are another key charm.

You could easily imagine it playing at a nighttime party or in a club.
