The work that expanded the popularity of the Vocaloid producer Toa was their 14th piece, Tsugihagi Staccato, released in 2014, which was one of the tracks distributed as part of the 7th anniversary project for Hatsune Miku.

It surpassed 100,000 views on Niconico and entered the Hall of Fame, and in 2016 it achieved a million views.

The “staccato” in the title refers to playing notes in a short, detached manner, which creates a distinctive sound throughout the song.

The lyrics, which sing of an unrequited love that bears no fruit, evoke a heartrending feeling as you listen.

It’s a perfect number to play on a lonely night.

Slow Downer / Hatsune Miku & GUMI
slowdownerrokuro

A rock number that’s irresistibly catchy and addictive within the first 30 seconds.

Vocaloid producer Rokuro’s signature track “Slow Downer” was released in 2018.

With its rhythmic melody line, razor-sharp guitar phrases, surging bass, and bouncing drums, there’s no reason fans of band-driven sounds wouldn’t get hooked.

The chorus explodes brilliantly, contrasting effectively with the verse and pre-chorus to deliver a refreshing rush.

It’s a Vocaloid song that keeps your eyes—no, your ears—glued right up to the very end.

at the mercy (of); as (someone/something) pleasesr-906

“Manimani” is a track by r-906, released in April 2022.

It took first place in the “VocaColle 2022 Spring” rankings.

Its hallmark is a bold arrangement that spends about two minutes on an instrumental interlude between the opening vocal phrase and the next section.

Because it unfolds almost like an instrumental number, it leads to a powerful catharsis in the latter half.

It also makes frequent use of ear-catching tricks—like strategic breaks and touches of traditional Japanese instruments.

It’s a song that clearly shows the artist’s commitment to pursuing what they truly love.

It’s a Vocaloid track that makes you want to believe in your own potential.

Created by Vocaloid producer Hagane Fujiwara, known for hits like “Fumble!”, it was released in November 2024.

The song features a distinctive high-speed progression infused with P-hardcore elements.

Its lyrics, laced with TRPG terminology, are bursting with energy and put you in the mood to say, “Let’s do this!” Crank up the volume—this one’s an upper tune!

Hello/How are you?nanou

[Hatsune Miku Soft] Hello/How Are You [Original]
Hello/How are you?nanou

This is a song created by NANO-U.

According to the creator, it’s supposedly “a song for hopeless people,” but I feel like everyone has been in this kind of mood at some point.

Maybe it’s the relaxed tempo, the wistful vocals, and the gentle melody line, but the lyrics’ message slowly seeps into your heart.

This is a song by Nayutan Seijin, who debuted as a Vocaloid producer in 2015, and it was used as the theme song for the mobile game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.” The shift from the robotic-like vocals and tight rock sound in the verses and pre-chorus to the poppy melody in the chorus is exquisite, making you want to listen to it over and over again.
