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 Vocaloid Songs with High Keys and Soaring Melodies (31–40)
Goodbye DeclarationChinozo
From digital sounds to full band arrangements, the widely crossover musical style of Vocaloid producer Chinozo has garnered strong support, especially among younger listeners.
This track, which has surpassed 60 million views on YouTube and inspired numerous covers by singers and parody versions by YouTubers, has become one of Chinozo’s signature songs.
With rapid-fire lyrics, tricky breathing points, and a melody that demands the high pitches characteristic of Vocaloid numbers, it looks like a real challenge to get through even at karaoke.
Precisely because it’s tough to sing, this piece lets you experience one of the most exciting appeals of Vocaloid music.
HenceforthOrangestar
This Vocaloid track combines a crystalline piano timbre with a four-on-the-floor beat, delivering an exhilarating sense of freshness.
It’s a piece by Mikansei-P, also known as Orangestar, released in 2020.
As his first new song in three years, it became a hot topic among Vocaloid fans at the time.
The driving, rush-forward feel of the music pairs perfectly with lyrics that convey a strong determination to keep moving ahead even without you.
The chorus features particularly high notes, so it can be quite challenging even for female singers.
But that’s exactly why it feels so good when you manage to sing it through.
Maiden AnatomyDECO*27
Why not try your hand at a yandere-flavored love song? This piece by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer behind numerous hits, was released in 2019.
It’s a fan favorite also featured in the mobile game Project Sekai.
The mix of rock built on a four-on-the-floor rhythm is insanely addictive, and Miku’s slightly mature vocals shine.
The chorus reaches high notes, but the melody is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try to level up your singing!
EliteChinozo
Chinozo is a Vocaloid producer who delivers songs with a pop sensibility to listeners.
He has created numerous Vocaloid tracks, including the viral TikTok hit “Good-bye Sengen.” Among his works, one of the highest-key songs is “Elite,” released in 2021.
Its down-to-earth lyrics over a danceable beat are truly moving.
Kafu’s vocals, perfectly matched with the soft, airy melody, are adorable—mechanical yet somehow brimming with human emotion.
If you’ve ever been told you have a “cute voice,” definitely try challenging yourself with high-tone vocals!
DramaturgyEVE
From the guitar phrase that sways left and right in the intro, you’re instantly drawn into the song’s world.
It’s one of the signature tracks by Eve, a popular Vocaloid producer who’s also active as a singer-songwriter, released in 2017 and included on the album Bunka from the same year.
The sound arrangement blends literary lyrics with rhythmic flair, stylishness, and a sense of speed—its charm is undeniable.
It’s a highly addictive number that makes you want to listen on repeat.
The Vocaloid version, not the one sung by Eve himself, is set in a higher key.
It also features a high word count and a melody with challenging dynamics.

I’ve been alive for 1,000 years.Iyowa
The key height is one factor, but the off-axis rhythms also contribute to the increased difficulty.
This song, released in 2020, is by Iyowa, a Vocaloid producer whose distinctive style captivates listeners and won’t let go.
Centered on a girl who has lived for a thousand years in a painted world, its mysterious setting is addictive after just one listen.
Iyowa’s songs are all challenging, but because they’re popular there are many cover videos, so definitely search around and use your favorites as references.
KINGKanaria
A high-sense dance tune that makes your body move on its own.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Kanaria, who drew attention with the debut song “Hyakki Matsuri,” released in 2020.
Its biggest hallmark is the rolled-tongue style of tuning.
The vocal work, which at times even sounds like English lyrics, blends with the stylish sound to create a one-of-a-kind world.
As you’d expect from a fast-tempo song, the melody is full of speed as well.
It’s a Vocaloid track with a fairly high difficulty level to sing at karaoke.
