Donut holehachi
This song uses the sensation of “having a hole” as a metaphor to depict the sense of loss and emptiness that everyone carries.
Created by Hachi in October 2013 after about two years and nine months, it also has a self-cover version included on the album YANKEE.
Characterized by an alternative rock sound and GUMI’s heartrending vocals, it captures the movement of a heart that strives to move forward while accepting what’s broken.
In October 2024, a collaboration project with the premium chocolate brand GODIVA was realized.
It’s a work that resonates with those who feel as if there’s a hole in their hearts, yet continue searching for something nonetheless.

The tight, Vocaloid-specific phrasing blends seamlessly with the song, making it a number that makes you want to dance.
DIVAAiobahn & TAK
A track by Aiobahn and TAK, released in November 2025.
It’s Aiobahn’s first fully fledged Vocaloid song, with lyrics by Namigure.
Said to embody the “image of Hatsune Miku from 10 years ago,” it portrays a worldview where technology and a spirit of adventure intersect.
The message from a songstress connecting past and future is sure to stir your heart.
It’s an anthem-like work that bridges new and longtime Vocaloid fans.
Inferior, SuperiorGiga
The powerful EDM sets my spirits ablaze! Composed by Giga, who’s also known for producing Ado’s hit song “Odo,” this track was released in 2018.
It made waves when it was chosen as the theme song for “Kagamine Rin & Len 10th Anniversary” at Magical Mirai 2018.
The dazzling synths and the booming, wobbly bass are just the best! Rin and Len’s crisp, sharp vocals really shine in this production.
The lyrics, which convey a strong determination to “keep pushing forward,” are another big draw.
Gehennawotaku
This is a shadowy Vocaloid track where glamour and a dark atmosphere intertwine.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer wotaku, known for hits like “Shanti,” it was released in 2019.
The jazz-tinged arrangement delivers both an upbeat groove and an unsettling mood at the same time, perfectly matching the lyrics that depict the protagonist’s negative emotions.
It’s included on the 2021 album “Tragoidia,” so be sure to check it out along with the other tracks!
Scary thingsnio
This is a track where Kagamine Rin’s earnest vocals hit you straight in the heart.
Created by Vocaloid producer Nio, it was released in December 2025.
Over a pop-leaning sound, it weaves together the fear that lurks behind everyday life and the strength to keep moving while carrying it.
Rather than erasing fear, its message—accepting it as a part of yourself that keeps you alive—resonates deeply.
Written specifically for Crypton’s official “Kagamine Rin & Len 18th Anniversary” project, this song is sure to gently nudge you forward when you’re feeling lost or tempted to stop.
