Lovely Vocaloid

[Newer] Summary of Hall of Fame Vocaloid Songs

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

A Vocaloid born in 2007, best known for Hatsune Miku.

With the spread of the internet, it developed mainly on Nico Nico Douga.

These days, it’s not uncommon for J-pop star artists to have a background as Vocaloid producers.

Many people have probably fallen in love with the endlessly fascinating world of Vocaloid!

Among those Vocaloid tracks, I’ll be focusing on songs that have surpassed 100,000 views on Nico Nico Douga—known as “Hall of Fame” entries.

I’ve tried to pick newer songs that, at the time of adding them, haven’t yet reached the 1,000,000-view “Legend” status.

Enjoy discovering your personal favorites and the tracks that are poised to explode in popularity right now!

This is the sixth Vocaloid track by Aogurisu, who began working as a Vocaloid producer in April 2022 and achieved Hall of Fame status within the same month.

Entered in the VocaColle 2022 Spring TOP100, it’s a track whose opening captivates the ear with an ominous melody and a mysterious atmosphere.

The arrangement, which brings its dark melody to the forefront, and the dizzyingly evolving ensemble have a way of drawing you into its world before you realize it.

With trap-tinged sounds and dynamic shifts that reflect the evolution and expansion of Vocaloid music, it’s an emotional number.

Override – Kasane Teto SV [Yase Yoshida]

Override Yoshida Yayo

A lively track that shines with bouncy rhythms and internet memes, singing of an escape from an oppressive society.

Released digitally in December 2023, the song hit No.

1 on Billboard JAPAN’s “Niconico VOCALOID SONGS TOP20” in January 2024.

The conflict between ideals and reality, and the yearning for self-fulfillment, really pierce the heart.

Yoshida Yayo’s distinctive style grabs listeners right from the start.

Riding the TikTok wave, its popularity is skyrocketing.

Highly recommended not only for Vocaloid fans, but for anyone struggling in modern society.

Also note its addictive quality—you’ll find it hard to escape once you’ve heard it even once!
