Challenge your limits! A collection of Vocaloid songs with high keys and soaring high melodies
Many people probably have the impression that “Vocaloid songs have high keys.” In fact, the pitch range you can manipulate with synthetic vocal software is quite wide.
If you own one, you know—you’ve probably tried making it sing at absurdly high pitches, right? In this article, I’ve put together a list of Vocaloid songs with high keys! I think it’s a playlist that can help you choose songs for karaoke or cover videos.
Strictly speaking, in music theory there’s a difference between “a melody that includes high notes” and “a song with a high key,” but I’ve kept things loose here to be more accessible.
By all means, challenge the limits of your own vocal cords!

primaryIyowa
Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for songs with unstable yet addictive melodies, has gained popularity.
Primally, chosen as a tie-in song for Sanrio’s mixed-media project “Mai Mai Maigoen,” sticks in your head with its driving shuffle beat and cute sound.
With its fast tempo and very high key, it could be considered one of the more challenging tracks even among Vocaloid songs.
If you find it impossible to sing, the range itself isn’t wide, so you can still enjoy singing this Vocaloid number by starting from the edge of your own vocal range.
Hollow SleepNuyuri
“Hollow Sleep” is a song by the Vocaloid producer Nuyuri, who is also known as the arranger of ZUTOMAYO’s “Byoushin wo Kamu” (Biting the Second Hand).
The video was released on Nico Nico Douga and YouTube in 2020.
It’s a cool track with stylish chord voicings and a tight groove, but the chorus is extremely high.
The verses and pre-chorus aren’t that high, yet the moment the chorus comes in, the range shoots up dramatically.
That contrast is striking and gives the song an addictive quality that makes you want to listen again.
