It is counted among his signature works.

From the guitar riff in the intro, it’s an upbeat rock number that really fires you up.

The thick synth bass sounds awesome.

Golden Clock / Hatsune Miku

With exhilarating sound and vivid imagery, it instantly draws listeners into its world.

Created by TakoyakiKZY, this electro-rock piece, inspired by the meeting spot at Nagoya Station, captures the sparkle and bittersweetness of youth.

Sound effects like railroad crossings and in-train announcements are skillfully woven in, creating a sense of presence as if you’re really there.

And Hatsune Miku’s clear, soaring vocals beautifully express the protagonist’s delicate, shifting emotions—listening makes your chest tighten.

Give it a listen while thinking of someone dear to you.

Paranormal Experiencenakiso

Paranormal Experience / Hatsune Miku

A dark, thrilling Vocaloid track that bottles up that raw “something’s off” feeling into music.

It’s a song by Nakiso, released in October 2025.

Instinct warns of danger, yet curiosity makes you peek anyway.

Those conflicting emotions are scattered throughout the lyrics.

There’s plenty to enjoy, from the tight beat to the writhing basslines.

The tension created by the push and pull of the sounds captures the chills of encountering the supernatural.

Try listening with earphones late at night—you’ll feel a shiver down your spine!

Confessions of a Rotten GirlSAWTOWNE

SAWTOWNE – Confessions of a Rotten Girl / ft. Hatsune Miku

You’ll find yourself drawn into a world with a somewhat religious atmosphere.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer SAWTOWNE, released in January 2025.

Its signature is a hard electronic sound interwoven with elements of classical music.

The lyrics depict the struggle of a girl who tries to reclaim a pure heart but is pulled toward desire—in other words, a fujoshi’s anthem.

Otaku culture truly knows no borders!

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.

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.

“Be The MUSIC!” is a song where you can fully savor Kinoshita’s pop and catchy appeal.

With its pleasant orchestration, just listening to it is enough to lift your spirits.

Many people might associate Vocaloid tracks with a sterile image, but this number has a warmth that makes it feel as if a human is singing.

If you’ve been avoiding Vocaloid without giving it a fair try, why not start with this song?
