[Hatsune Miku] Requiem [Kanaria]

Kanaria, a Vocaloid producer with many hit songs such as “KING,” “QUEEN,” and “Cerebral Rendezvous,” has released “Requiem,” a track that makes the most of their eerie melodic lines while delivering an even fresher feeling than before.

The chorus, with its melody that ascends by semitones, is especially striking and addictively replayable.

Red Dead Stock / Naruka Mikoto

You won’t be able to tear your ears away from its spiky, abrasive sound! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Yugika, also known for “Eureka Replica” and “Caprice Cast,” released in July 2023.

The downer, moody worldview is incredibly cool and totally addictive.

The arrangement, laden with distortion and noise, makes you want to blast it at full volume.

The heaviness of the low end and that thumping, pressing feel are top-notch, too.

With lyrics that pursue “proof of existence,” it’s a thought-provoking, stoic work.

This is a rock number that evokes a bittersweet feeling, adorned with a sleek, slightly glossy piano phrase over a brisk band sound.

It’s a signature work by Vocaloid producer KuwagataP, released in 2009.

The lyrics sing of lingering attachment to a loved one who’s gone, and while the tempo is driving, it feels like it’s expressing an outpouring of emotion.

The result blends coolness with sentimentality.

Though time has passed since its release, it remains one of Vocaloid’s classics and is still frequently chosen for cover performances and “utatte mita” videos.

Hoehoe-P, a Vocaloid producer known for signature songs like “Hello/How Are You,” created “Asayake, Kimi no Uta” in 2009—a rock number that gained popularity in the early Vocaloid scene.

It portrays moments when feelings overflow for someone special, singing of a bittersweet longing that warms the heart.

The passionate band performance driven by a four-on-the-floor beat conveys raw emotion, and together with lyrics that evoke vivid scenes, Hatsune Miku’s vocals gently resonate as a moving Vocaloid track.
