I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

This expression comes from “emotional,” meaning to be moved by feelings—you’re probably quite familiar with it.

It used to be used more as a keyword for music genres, like “emo rock,” but nowadays it’s an everyday word people use when they’re touched or emotionally stirred.

Some of you might even hear it a lot in conversations with friends.

In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of emotionally resonant, ‘emo’ Vocaloid songs! You’re sure to find at least one track that really hits you, so be sure to read to the end!
