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 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!

An electronic number that surges like a torrent of emotion.

“Ino Utsu” is a work released by SA in August 2025, which took 2nd place in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle 2025 Summer.

Sung by Tsuina-chan, it conveys a heartfelt cry fraught with contradictions.

You’ll be drawn into a worldview where the despair of heading toward a lightless place and a strong will to seek tomorrow are depicted simultaneously.

When you’re overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness, why not surrender yourself to this whirlpool of sound?

There are people who aren’t rewarded no matter how hard they try, and there may also be people who gain fame without making any effort.

This song can be described as one that sings about striving for the top, even if it means crawling on the ground.

With its simple lyrics and humorous music video, it’s an easy-to-listen-to pop song, but when you think about the meaning of the words, you’re overcome by a quiet sense of emotion.
