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!

Potato Chips / feat. Kasane Teto

Potato Chip Umbrella Village Tota

A Vocaloid song with a unique worldview that expresses feelings of regret through potato chips.

It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, released in June 2025.

Despite what the title suggests, it’s packed with tear-jerking elements.

The poignantly resonant piano sound and the anguished cries of a protagonist who failed to notice what truly mattered make it deeply affecting.

It’s a Kasane Teto track that gently stays by your side in times of sadness.

[Thoughts] Vocaloid Songs with Resonant Lyrics Special [Message] (191–200)

The Wonderland and Alice.Surely, forever, alone.

Alice in the Land of Wonders ft. Yamine Renri

A strange land, and Alice. Surely, always, all alone.

It’s a mysterious Vocaloid track that makes the boundary between reality and fantasy feel like it’s growing blurred.

“Kitto, Zutto” is a song by Bocchi-san, released in October 2021.

The fantastical world woven by Yamine Renri’s vocals is somehow eerie yet beautiful, drawing the listener into its story.

A guitar-driven rock sound intertwines with elements of electronica, resulting in a melancholic finish.

And each word of the lyrics, like a soliloquy, pierces the heart.

It’s a perfect song for when you want to escape from reality.

Heart rate pairingYukino Ito

Heartbeat Pairing / Hatsune Miku

Heartbeat Pairing Yukino Ito

Don’t you think songs with lyrics that only work because they’re sung by a Vocaloid are wonderful? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Heartbeat Pairing.” This is the fifth release by Yukino Ito.

Set to a brisk tempo, it sings about the excitement of romance and the longing you feel for someone special.

What I want you to notice is that the lyrics are written from Hatsune Miku’s perspective.

Throughout the song, there are expressions unique to Vocaloids—like comparing a heartbeat to BPM, and more.

Hourglass of Lovesekikomi-gohan (ceremonial red rice dish; also called sekihan)

Hourglass of Love / Sekikomi Gohan feat. Hatsune Miku

Love hourglass seared rice

A poignant song that portrays the fragility of time and the eternity of feelings.

Released by Sekikomi Gohan in October 2024, this piece is marked by Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals and a memorable piano melody.

With strings adding a spacious soundscape, it conveys the sorrow of lost time and the determination to keep moving forward.

Perfect for moments when you want to immerse yourself in memories of someone dear, or when you’re ready to take a step toward the future.

A gentle, encouraging track that supports you from behind.

Kaiju Zhighball

Kaiju Z / ⌘ flower

Kaiju Z Hainomi

A piercing Vocaloid track that likens one’s pride and resignation to a “kaiju.” Created by Vocaloid producer Hainomi and released in June 2023, it sonically portrays the protagonist’s inner world—seemingly passing the days calmly, yet actually overflowing with complex emotions.

You can hear this in the dynamic arrangement, especially in the transition from the pre-chorus to the chorus.

Many listeners will likely resonate with the feelings expressed in the lyrics.

It’s perfect for solitary moments of deep reflection.

I'm sticking my tongue out at you.one two three

Akanbe at You / Hifumi feat. Hatsune Miku

Sticking my tongue out at you—one, two, three.

If you like Japanese-style rock, make sure to check this out! It’s a work by Hifumi, the creator of “Because the Flowers Fell” and “Budding Heart,” released in March 2023.

It’s a light yet heartrending breakup song that sings of lingering feelings for a former lover.

The melody is catchy, so the part that recalls sharing an umbrella vividly brings the scene to mind.

The chorus makes you want to sing along yourself.

In other words, it’s also a great pick for cover videos and the like!

Sinful lovediscarded woman

Sin Love / Kaai Yuki

Sin Love Goes Woman

I can’t help but get absorbed in the lo-fi sound and whispery vocals.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Sona Onna, released in 2023.

It was entered in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle Spring 2023.

The string tones, where a sense of floating and tension intertwine, are striking.

It also feels as if the song is gently dripping, drop by drop, from the singer’s lips.

The melancholic mood that pervades the entire piece is, strangely, comforting.

And the lyrics—so precarious they seem one misstep away from going off the rails—are another thing I love.
