Sebastianwotaku

Sebastian / wotaku feat. Hatsune Miku

Sebastian, which lets you savor a fantastical yet melancholic story, is also a must-listen.

It’s a track included on wotaku’s album Antique.

The song unfolds as a will addressed to a young lady from her butler who has passed away.

While the content is a bit eerie, glimpses of affection and bittersweet emotion peek through—that’s the key point.

Another unique charm of this piece is how it invites you to imagine the parts that aren’t explicitly explained.

magnet [Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka Original]

A duet song by Ryuusei-P featuring Miku and Luka.

When asked “What’s the quintessential Vocaloid duet?” many people think of this one.

Released in 2009, it quickly became a hit.

It portrays a relationship where neither can pull away from the other, likening it to a ‘magnet’—just like a pair of magnets.

merry bad endMafumafu

Merry Bad End / Mafumafu feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a rock tune with a dark worldview that kicks off with a suspicious-sounding guitar riff.

Created by the popular singer Mafumafu, who even performed at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen, it was released in 2018.

As noted in the video description, it was produced around the theme of group psychology—specifically, “creating a common enemy to unite people.” Judging from the MV’s imagery as well, it might especially resonate with middle and high school students who can relate it to their own experiences.

It’s an addictive song where fear and coolness intersect, driven by an irresistible sense of speed.
