Lovely Vocaloid

Challenge your limits! A collection of Vocaloid songs with high keys and soaring high melodies

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.

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!

PinocchioP – Beautiful Fiction feat. Hatsune Miku / Beautiful Fiction

Beautiful Fiction Pinocchio P

PinocchioP, a Vocaloid producer who has inducted numerous works into the hall of fame with his richly varied musical style.

Released on November 20, 2018, “Beautiful na Fiction” draws you in with its delicate synth sounds and dramatic song structure.

Unlike many VOCALOID tracks that push excessively high notes, this one has fewer extreme highs; however, the ad-lib sections in the interlude are pitched higher than the main melody.

If you can’t reach those notes yet, it’s best to start by mastering the melody first.

It’s an emotional pop tune that feels great to sing once you’ve got it down for karaoke.

PinocchioP – Crappy Fantasy Days feat. Hatsune Miku

Fantasy, trivial days PinocchioP

PinocchioP made his major debut in 2012 and has continued releasing songs ever since.

His 66th track is “Kūsō Shōmonai Hibi” (“Imaginary Silly Days”).

This work is characterized by a pop sound featuring bright, beepy high-pitched electronic tones.

Hatsune Miku’s vocals also reach quite high notes.

The combination of these two elements results in a uniquely original piece unlike any other.

By the way, the title phrase is sung with slight variations within the song—listen carefully to catch them.

Fools yearn for anomalies.Utsu-P

Utsu-P – Fools Admire Anomalies / Fools Yearn for the Anomaly

The idiot is Utsu-P, who longs for anomalies.

Taking on high vocal ranges plus death growls! This song by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer known for heavy metal and loud sounds paired with razor-sharp, straight-to-the-heart messages, was released in 2012.

It’s a piece of mixture rock that colors a weighty band sound with aggressive electronic tones.

Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics about hating being ordinary and longing to become a weirdo.

You might find yourself thinking, “It’s true, I used to think like that when I was younger…”

In conclusion

Maybe you’re reading this because you want to sing high-key Vocaloid songs at karaoke.

When you try to hit high notes, there’s a limit to what the human voice can do.

But if you keep practicing around that limit, you might find yourself able to sing even higher songs before you know it.

Enjoy yourself without overdoing it, and have a great Vocaloid life!
