I Am Setsunaakano wai
Let me introduce a song that anyone can relate to: “Hidamari no Setsuna.” This piece was selected for Akeno Wai’s “Let’s Make It Together! 12th Music Contest Project SEKAI NEXT.” Set to a grand melody, it portrays the ceaseless passage of time and how we’re swept along by its speed.
The final, bittersweet yet forward-looking lyrics are truly moving.
The harmonies between Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka are also a highlight—their interplay seems to express the bonds between people.
Setsuna TripLast Note.
As the title suggests, this exhilarating track races through a fleeting moment in the blink of an eye.
It’s recommended for anyone searching for something or feeling their life is somehow stagnating.
It’s a motivational anthem that gives you a push when you can’t quite take action or make that first step.
fire◎flowerhalyosy
When it comes to passionate Vocaloid songs that bring back memories of first love, Fire◎Flower stands out.
Produced by Vocaloid producer halyosy in 2008, he’s known for grand ballads like Sakura no Ame, but this track features a band sound brimming with speed and energy.
Its highly narrative lyrics evoke images of fireworks and summer, resonating deeply.
It’s a rock number I’d recommend even to those who don’t usually listen to Vocaloid.
Why not give it a listen and hear Kagamine Len’s sentimental, boyish vocals?
Life Reset Buttonkemu
Kemu, a Vocaloid producer who also performs as the bassist for the rock band PENGUIN RESEARCH, has written numerous songs for voice actors and idols.
Created in 2012, “Jinsei Reset Button” is the track that put his name on the map.
Its energetic sound, marked by powerful synth timbres, leaves a strong impression.
Many listeners will relate to the sensational lyrics centered on the theme of “life.” Be sure to pay attention to GUMI’s emotive vocals, which are a perfect match for this rock number.
It’s an uptempo track especially recommended for those struggling with issues at school or work.
Call out to me on a starry nightudon taimā P
A call to the night sky weaves hope and bonds.
Created by Udon Timer P, it was released by KARENT in August 2025 to celebrate Hatsune Miku’s 18th anniversary, with the music video premiering in October.
This is a dreamlike ballad centered on piano, where shimmering synth pads and bell-like embellishments envelop Miku’s transparent vocals.
The lyrics warmly sing of wishes for the future and human connection against a backdrop of falling stars.
Please listen on a quiet night while thinking of someone dear to you.
Like a ghostSatō Naiko
What seeps through in the depiction of wandering the city at midnight is an ennui-laden feeling.
“Like a Ghost,” written and composed by Vocaloid producer Nokko Sato, was released in July 2024.
It’s an entry for the song-posting event “VocaDuo,” created under the team name “Nakai no Kakato.” The city-flavored sound, which incorporates the chime of a crosswalk button, gives it a very stylish impression.
The innocent vocal work of Kaai Yuki matches it perfectly.
This might be the song that stays close to the loneliness you carry.
Afterimages of the Cityabaraya
If you’re looking for stirring, emotional rock, this is the one.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Abaraya, released in August 2025.
The arrangement brilliantly interweaves a driving band sound with electronic elements.
Another highlight is the twin-vocal setup featuring KAFU and Abaraya himself.
The lyrics depict two people quietly facing the end of the world.
Their wish for a new beginning amid a crumbling city is deeply moving.
