An early hit from the Vocaloid scene, this work carries an indescribable sense of unease beneath its up-tempo groove.
The lyrics depict a dependent kind of romantic feeling, and the result is so chilling it gives you goosebumps.
There are both Kagamine Rin and Len versions, and I recommend either one.

Set in a city before dawn, this work delicately portrays the subtleties of the heart.
Composed by higma and released in July 2024, it features Kitsuneko’s wistful vocals and a refreshing sound that fuses electronica and city pop.
You can easily picture yourself strolling through the nighttime streets, immersed in the music, pausing to look up at the sky.
It’s a perfect song for those seeking a companion on a lonely night or wishing to reflect quietly on themselves.
The Disappearance of Hatsune MikucosMo@bousou P
An essential work when discussing the early Vocaloid scene is “The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku.” Created in 2008 by cosMo@Bousou-P, a Vocaloid producer also known for contributing tracks to games and composing instrumental pieces, it’s a high-tempo song that makes full use of Hatsune Miku’s mechanical singing style.
The result is a rhythmic sound with catchy synth tones ringing throughout.
You may even be moved to tears by her rapid-fire delivery of emotional lyrics that depict the “feelings of a Vocaloid.” Why not give this masterpiece a listen—packed with the quintessential Vocaloid essence and notoriously difficult for humans to sing or perform?

Vocaloid producer Hiiragi Magnetite, known for songs with a unique worldview, has been making waves.
Drawing on experience in band activities, they create energetic tracks that are especially popular among teens.
Among their songs, the one that truly stirs the heart is “Marshall Maximizer,” produced in 2021.
It’s an electro-pop track brimming with a sense of speed.
Despite the mechanical tone of the vocals, Kafu’s singing still conveys a human touch that really hits home.
Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics, which are filled with emotional expression.
Alice in the RefrigeratorOrangestar
When it comes to Vocaloid songs that evoke vividly colorful youth, “Alice in Reizouko (Refrigerator)” comes to mind.
This track was produced in 2016 by Orangestar, a Vocaloid producer well-regarded for works featuring IA such as “Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan.” Its upbeat rhythm and melodious piano lines leave a strong impression.
The refreshing sound perfectly complements IA’s translucent voice.
The poetic lyrics, which evoke a sense of storytelling, will resonate with listeners.
Be sure to give this rock tune—tinged with a touch of fragility—a listen.

Be sure to add this emotional rock tune to your playlist.

An indispensable classic when talking about the early Vocaloid scene, “Melt.” This track was produced in 2007 by ryo, also known for works like “The Story You Don’t Know.” It features a high-energy band sound with a sense of speed, complemented by beautiful piano tones.
