[Standard] Vocaloid masterpieces, recommended popular songs, god-tier tracks

Whisper Whisper WhisperAzari

Whisper Whisper Whisper

Listening to it gives me chills down my back.

It’s a piece by Azari, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark aesthetic, released in 2023.

The low-key, feverless melody, the heavy, resonant bass, and the inorganic clap sounds are striking.

Rather than “coming on strong,” it approaches slowly and quietly, yet inexorably… I find myself captivated by that tense sonic image.

The more you listen, the more it reveals its flavor—a popular track that’s also garnered support from overseas Vocaloid fans.

peacockATOLS

ATOLS – Peacock feat. Hatsune Miku

A sophisticated electric tune with a Japanese aesthetic.

It’s a track by ATOLS, a Vocaloid producer known for a uniquely individual musical style, released in June 2023.

The synth sound carries a majestic atmosphere, and it’s something you’ll want to savor with headphones or earphones—there’s that much spaciousness in the sound image.

While it features catchy rhymes like “kujakku” (peacock) and “amanjaku” (contrarian), the lyrics as a whole possess a high level of artistry that’s equally compelling.

Memorykyiku

Memory/Unavailable - Nurse Robo_Type T - Star Realm

Kyiku, who has created many songs that portray hazy feelings and a tumultuous inner world, has delivered something unprecedented with his new release, “Memory.” The sound design samples a telephone ring and water, crafting a dreamlike atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the lyrics vividly depict a heart sinking into darkness.

One of the song’s appeals is that it invites multiple interpretations, so listen with your own analysis in mind.

The intentional cuts in the audio partway through are also an interesting touch.

I can’t find it, I can’t find it.Kikuo

Kikuo – Can’t find it, can’t find it

Isn’t this a work that perfectly fits the word “artistic”? It’s a song by Kikuo, a popular creator who’s also well-supported by overseas Vocaloid fans, released in June 2023.

That feeling that sounds both pastoral and insane—this is exactly “Kikuo’s music.” I’m overwhelmed by how meticulously the soundscape and worldbuilding are crafted.

If you watch it on YouTube, be sure to turn on subtitles.

You’ll surely be surprised by the intricate presentation.

Double LariatAgoaniki-P

[Megurine Luka] Double Lariat [HD]

A song created by Agoaniki-P.

With its striking title, it’s very well-known.

As the song progresses, you gradually get drawn into the lyrics, and by the end you find yourself fully absorbed—there’s that kind of charm.

It can be introduced as a Vocaloid track that’s bittersweet yet uplifting.

Lonely Industrial RevolutionShannon

MV “Lonely Industrial Revolution” / Shannon feat. Uranomei

This work is based on the globally popular game Minecraft.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Shannon, known for hits like Midnight Stroll, released in February 2023.

Despite its sense of speed, the arrangement feels gentle and easy on the ears, yet somehow gives the impression of being in another world—that’s what makes it so striking.

KAFU’s slightly husky vocal delivery fits perfectly.

Perhaps because the theme is a game, it also features chiptune elements.

The fact that a song like this could be born from Minecraft, with its pop and friendly visuals… I’m in awe of the aesthetic sense behind it.

Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline

[Megurine Luka] Just Be Friends [Original PV]

A track by Dixie Flatline, a Vocaloid producer known for Vocaloid works rooted in R&B.

The entire song has a vibe reminiscent of Western pop, making it clear why he’s said to excel at R&B.

Contrary to the breakup-themed lyrics, the sounds of the synthesizer and synth bass are comfortable and stylish.
