Lovely Vocaloid

[Feelings] A selection of Vocaloid songs with lyrics that resonate [Message]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When it comes to the appeal of Vocaloid, it’s that it sings the exact lyrics and feelings the creator programs into it.

It’s the ultimate music tool that makes “I want to turn this feeling into a song” come true!

Vocaloid producers pour the emotions that well up from deep within their hearts into sound and lyrics, delivering them to us every day.

In this article, we’ll introduce lots of Vocaloid tracks that we especially want you to listen to with a focus on the lyrics!

They’ll warm your heart with emotion or startle you with the sharpness of their words.

You’re sure to find a piece that strikes a chord with you!

[Feelings] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Songs with Resonant Lyrics [Message] (111–120)

Tropic of YouInabakumori

Inabakumori 'Tropic of Return to You' Vo. Kaai Yuki

Tropic to You by Inabakumori

Kimi ni Kaikisen captivates with its mysterious lyrics sprinkled with school-related keywords.

The song is by Inabakumori, a Vocaloid producer known for tracks like Rag Train and Pascal Beats.

Inaba’s knack for using the Vocaloid Utau Yuki, whose voice has a girlish timbre, is on full display in Kimi ni Kaikisen as well.

Notably, the momentary breaks in the vocal line and the rhyming in the chorus create an addictive groove—key points to listen for.

The lyrics, open to multiple interpretations, whirl around in your head before you know it, especially in combination with the song’s tone!
