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!

Challenge your limits! A collection of high-key, high-pitched melodic Vocaloid songs (1–10)
cheeseChinozo
Chinozo, known as a YouTuber and Vocaloid producer, also has a great song called “Cheese” that I recommend.
As the title suggests, it’s themed around cheese.
The lyrics sing about the depth and characteristics of cheese as a food from various angles.
Listening to it will probably make you crave cheese.
It’s also unique and fun that it uses that classic photo-taking cue, and the chorus that repeats the cue is really impactful.
Wind to flowersbarūn
“Hana ni Kaze,” released by Balloon in February 2023, is the image song for the collaboration project “360 Reality Audio” between Hatsune Miku and Sony Store.
The lyrics, which deftly portray delicate emotions such as loneliness, love, and doubts about life, resonate deeply with listeners.
In the music video by Avogado6, unspoken feelings are expressed through sign language and ballet.
It is loved widely beyond the boundaries of the Vocaloid scene.
Can you sing the chorus’s range without adjusting the key?
PostscriptOrangestar
Released in July 2024 as a track by Orangestar.
It was included as the title track on the EP “Postscript – EP” and was also performed on the solo tour.
Hatsune Miku’s clear, high-pitched vocals leave a strong impression, and the lyrics—centered on the passage of time and the fragility of life—are paired with an energetic sound.
Since it makes extensive use of high notes, singing it in the original key is, of course, challenging—so let’s see how far you can go!

High-pitched Vocal Range TestKimura wai P
This is a song that’s uniquely suited to Vocaloid.
It was released by Kimura Y-P in 2013.
He reportedly created it for singers who can hit very high notes.
Its hallmark is phrases that climb higher in pitch as the song progresses.
If you can sing it to the end, you’re considered to have passed—but it’s at a level where you might wonder if a human can even produce those notes.
It’s a good way to check how high you can sing.
Be careful not to strain your throat.
At karaoke with friends, you can compete to see how high you can go—it’s sure to liven things up.
Future Evesasakure. UK + Yukei Ranpeiji
A track by sasakure.UK and Yukei Rampage that exquisitely pairs cutting-edge sound with Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals.
It was included on the album Hatsune Miku “Magical Mirai” 10th Anniversary OFFICIAL ALBUM, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the “Magical Mirai” music event themed around Hatsune Miku.
The song celebrates the courage and hope to accept everything—dreams and reality, happiness and unhappiness—amid a changing world and life.
If you’re up for a high-difficulty singing challenge, give it a try!
Ultra Trailermasarada
You can’t help but fall in love with the energetic, dynamic sound! Composed by Masarada and released in November 2023, this track is a standout.
The combination of Kasane Teto’s powerful vocals and lyrics that depict inner conflict and a resolve for the future is superb.
Add in the driving sound arrangement, and it all comes together to create an exhilarating sense of freshness.
At this point, I say don’t worry about the pitch—just sing your heart out! Go for it, with all your strength!
headacheeipu
Doesn’t the title alone make you want to listen? This is a track released by Eipu in May 2024.
With a fast tempo—BPM 200—it’s a very high-tempo piece with an energetic tone that makes a strong impact on listeners.
The lyrics use “headaches caused by low atmospheric pressure” as a foundation to cynically portray the painful situations we inevitably encounter in life.
It’s a highly relatable, upbeat song.
The high notes make their appearance in the chorus!
